Market

Xiao Chen looked at Gale Ao's enraged expression and sneered.

"Young Master Gale Ao, everyone in Wutan City knows about your promiscuous habits. As for how many Gold Coins this Bracelet is really worth, we both know perfectly well."

"Fine, fine. Xiao Chen, as long as you take three moves from me today, we'll let the matter of this Bracelet go. What do you say?"

At his words, Gale Ao's mouth twitched. His fists clenched inside his sleeves with a cracking sound as he glared viciously at Xiao Chen across from him, the fury in his eyes seemingly ready to burst forth.

However, Gale Ao knew that with Xiao Chen here, he could forget about that girl. Still, he had to let Xiao Chen know the price of offending him.

At that moment, the pressure of Dou Qi within Gale Ao swept toward Xiao Chen like an overwhelming tide.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned slightly and glanced at the badge on Gale Ao's chest. A single golden star was engraved upon it—One-Star Dou Zhe.

"Young Master Xiao Chen!"

"Brother Xiao Chen!"

At that moment, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yanmeng walked to Xiao Chen's side and called out to him.

Xiao Chen looked at the two girls and smiled. "You two step back first. I'll handle Gale Ao."

"Brother Xiao Chen, be careful."

Xiao Xun'er nodded gently at his words and said softly.

The surrounding crowd could not help curling their lips when they heard Gale Ao's words.

A One-Star Dou Zhe like Gale Ao challenging Xiao Chen, who was only at the fifth stage of Dou Qi—wasn't this simply bullying?

Still, although the onlookers disliked Gale Ao's abuse of power, no one stepped forward to say anything. They merely lowered their heads and whispered among themselves.

After all, they could not afford to offend the Gale Family. They understood the saying that disaster came from careless words.

Without strength in the Dou Qi Continent, it was better to keep a low profile and stay out of sight. Perhaps this was what it meant to be angry yet dare not speak.

"Fine. Come on."

Xiao Chen stepped forward, extended his long, fair arm, and curled his fingers at Gale Ao in a provocative gesture.

Seeing Xiao Chen's provocation, Gale Ao was not angered. Instead, he was delighted. He decided he would beat Xiao Chen until he had to lie in bed for several months.

The strength of a One-Star Dou Zhe had inflated his confidence.

"Yellow Rank Mid-Level Dou Technique: Crushing Stone Fist!"

Dou Qi surged within Gale Ao's body, gathering in his arm and fist as he launched a punch at Xiao Chen.

A fist condensed from Dou Qi appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes. Looking past it, he saw the smile on Gale Ao's face.

If Xiao Chen was hit by that punch, he would surely be severely injured. After all, Gale Ao was a One-Star Dou Zhe, while Xiao Chen was merely at the fifth stage of Dou Qi. This was more than simple bullying.

Yet what happened next left Gale Ao dumbfounded, his eyes filled with terror.

Just as Gale Ao's Dou Qi fist reached a point not far in front of Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen smiled faintly at him. Seeing that smile, Gale Ao's heart tightened.

Xiao Chen activated one Giant Elephant Micro-Particle that had awakened within him. In an instant, who could have imagined that his seemingly frail body contained the strength of a giant elephant—one hundred thousand jin of force.

Xiao Chen raised his right arm and clenched his hand into a fist. There were no flashy movements at all as he lifted his arm and collided with Gale Ao's Dou Qi fist.

The next moment, the surrounding crowd's eyes nearly popped out of their heads. Gale Ao was sent flying backward in an instant, and a soft crack rang out during his flight—the sound of breaking bones.

Xiao Chen had not used his full strength. He did not want to kill Gale Ao just yet.

"Young Master!"

When Gale Ao was sent flying and crashed to the ground, fine cracks spread across the spot where he landed. Several of Gale Ao's guards hurried over, intending to help him up.

"Don't touch me. It's broken!"

Gale Ao lay on the ground and shouted the guards back just as they were about to help him up.

Feeling the pain shooting through his arm, Gale Ao could hardly believe that Xiao Chen had sent him flying with a single punch. The arm that had collided with Xiao Chen's was now slightly twisted.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and he had no idea how many bones had been broken inside his body.

"Xiao Chen!"

After a while, Gale Ao slowly rose from the ground with the careful support of several guards. He glared at Xiao Chen with fire in his eyes and shouted furiously.

One of Gale Ao's arms hung limply at his side, clearly unable to move for the time being. He would probably need several months to recover.

"What's wrong, Young Master Gale Ao? That was only one move. There are still two left. Do you want to continue?"

Xiao Chen looked at Gale Ao with an innocent expression and knowingly asked.

"Xiao Chen... all of you, get him!"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words and seeing the look on his face, Gale Ao nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

With a wave of Gale Ao's hand, the guards behind him prepared to rush at Xiao Chen and seize him.

"Young Master Gale Ao, this Market belongs to my Xiao Family. Do you intend to make a move here?"

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, looking at Gale Ao, whose mouth still had blood trickling from it.

At that moment, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yanmeng also came to Xiao Chen's side to support him.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, has something happened?"

What had happened in the Market soon reached Pei En. A moment later, Pei En arrived behind Xiao Chen with a large group of guards and asked respectfully.

"Hmph, Xiao Chen, you win this time. Just you wait!"

"I'll be ready anytime."

Gale Ao looked at Xiao Chen and the people behind him, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart. With a cold snort, he waved his hand and led his men away, shoving through the surrounding crowd after leaving behind that threat.

They had fewer people than the other side and could only retreat helplessly.

"Brother Xiao Chen, you aren't hurt, are you?" Xiao Xun'er's rosy lips parted as she asked softly.

Although Xiao Xun'er knew that Xiao Chen could challenge opponents above his level, Gale Ao was a One-Star Dou Zhe and had even cultivated a Dou Technique. Yet he had still been defeated by Xiao Chen.

Brother Xiao Chen is amazing! Xiao Xun'er thought.

"I'm fine."

Xiao Chen turned around and reached out with his fair hand to ruffle Xiao Xun'er's head, smiling.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, thank you!"

Xiao Yanmeng bowed to Xiao Chen in gratitude.

"It's nothing. From now on, you'll be my maid." Xiao Chen's dark eyes fell upon Xiao Yanmeng's delicate, curvaceous figure.

At those words, both Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yanmeng looked at Xiao Chen strangely. Xiao Chen merely gave an awkward smile and offered no explanation.

"Mhm." Xiao Yanmeng's exquisite face flushed slightly as she answered.

After all, countless people in the Xiao Family had wanted to become Young Master Xiao Chen's maid, only to be rejected. Since she had been chosen by Young Master Xiao Chen, she naturally felt somewhat delighted.

After all, Xiao Chen was a young master of the Xiao Family. Becoming his maid meant she would have someone powerful to rely on.

"Captain Pei En, sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Chen turned to Pei En and the others, smiling kindly.

"Hehe, Young Master Xiao Chen, you jest. This is our Xiao Family's territory to begin with. How could we allow the Gale Family to behave so arrogantly here?"

Pei Si said with a smile. After saying his farewells, he led his men away.

"As for you, go back to the Xiao Family first." Xiao Chen turned to Xiao Yanmeng and said.

"Xun'er, it's still early. Let's go look around somewhere else."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Xun'er, a sunny smile appearing on his handsome face. He pinched her little cheek and spoke gently.
