Rotten Orange!

Lei La listened to Ya Fei's merciless retort. Especially with countless people watching in the middle of the hall, his face was completely filled with rage.

"What kind of monument is a whore trying to set up here?"

Lei La sneered. "Don't think I don't know about all the rotten things you've done. Do you really think I, Lei La, can't handle you?"

"And you in the back—leaving your post without authorization as a counter attendant. Get the hell out of here right now!"

Lei La pointed at the young woman who had led Gu Fang over.

So that was it? No wonder!

Listening to Lei La's hysterical roars, Gu Fang immediately understood why the woman had kept him behind her earlier and stopped him from speaking with Ya Fei.

Within the Mite'er Family, each of them was likely assigned to a separate counter, and the woman's act of leading him over earlier...

had already violated the rules!

He glanced back at the woman, whose face had turned pale after being shouted at. Gu Fang took a sidestep and moved in front of Ya Fei.

He looked coldly at Lei La. "Are you some kind of rabid dog? Can you stop barking?

It's irritating as hell!"

Gu Fang did not speak quietly. With the help of his soul power, his voice even spread throughout the entire hall.

For a moment...

every conversation in the hall came to an abrupt halt. Everyone's eyes turned toward them, and when they looked at Gu Fang,

there was a hint of pity in their gazes.

They all knew Lei La. His grandfather was a Dou Ling, while he himself was a Seven-star Battle Master. Gu Fang's words just now...

had trampled the pride of Lei La's entire family into the ground.

This could never end peacefully!

"What did you say? Say that again, you pretty boy!"

Lei La's face turned livid. His lips twitched as he roared furiously, Dou Qi surging from his body as the power of a Seven-star Battle Master gathered at his fist.

Feeling the rippling energy fluctuations from Lei La's body, Gu Fang gave a cold laugh. Then...

he enunciated each word. "I said...

you are a rabid dog!"

"You're courting death!"

Lei La roared and swung his fist straight at Gu Fang's head. At this moment, Lei La had used his full strength without holding anything back!

"Watch out!"

Ya Fei's eyes widened. Seeing Lei La move, her heart lurched, and she cried out loudly. Although Gu Fang was no ordinary person in Ya Fei's eyes,

that only referred to the force behind him, not his current strength.

With such a youthful face, even if he had started cultivating in his mother's womb, how strong could he possibly be?

Being on par with her, at Eight-stage Dou Qi, would already make him a genius among geniuses!

Bang, boom!

A violent explosion rang out before Ya Fei.

The expression on Lei La's face had completely turned to terror!

Lei La's full-force strike had been blocked just like that. What was more...

Gu Fang's body had not moved an inch!

How is this possible? How can this pretty boy possess such strength? Lei La was filled with disbelief. At his age, he was already a Seven-star Battle Master,

and considered himself a genius. Yet this brat before him was much younger—how could he block his full-force strike with just one hand?

"I was wrong. Calling you a rabid dog was giving you too much credit. You...

are just a rotten orange!"

As Gu Fang spoke, he shifted his foot and appeared before Lei La. Dou Qi exploded along his arm as he smashed his fist into Lei La's chest!

Bang!

The explosive force erupted from Lei La's chest. The bursting Dou Qi sent his entire body flying into one of the hall's pillars. He spat out blood and slid to the ground.

Pain covered his face as his legs buckled, and his body curled into a ball.

"How is this possible?"

Ya Fei's crimson lips parted slightly as she stared in disbelief at Lei La kneeling on the ground. At the same time, those who could not believe it...

included everyone watching in the hall.

They could not believe that Lei La had been defeated by a boy so young.

Just as everyone focused their eyes on Gu Fang, someone sharp-eyed suddenly let out a cry.

"Look! What's that on the boy's arm?"

"His arm? That's..."

"Battle Qi Gauze Robe?"

"That boy is a Dou Master? How is that possible? What kind of monster is he?"

A Dou Qi cultivator began with Dou Qi. After reaching the ninth stage, one condensed a Dou Qi Vortex and became a Dou Zhe. After a Dou Zhe came a Dou Master, and the most obvious mark of a Dou Master...

was the Battle Qi Gauze Robe.

The Battle Qi Gauze Robe could enhance one's defense, attack power, and recovery. Gu Fang had not intended to hold back with that punch earlier, so when he used his full strength,

the Battle Qi Gauze Robe naturally appeared.

"How is this possible?" Ya Fei's hand involuntarily rose to cover her crimson lips. Shock was written all over her alluring face, and her eyes remained fixed on Gu Fang's somewhat youthful features.

A Dou Master? How could he be a Dou Master?

What kind of force stood behind someone like him?

What kind of force could nurture such a genius?

"Attack! Kill him for me!" Lei La raised his head from the ground, his vicious eyes fixed on Gu Fang as he screamed hysterically.

At Lei La's roar, the guards in the hall raised their weapons in unison and surrounded Gu Fang.

Ya Fei's face turned pale at the sight. A vague thought surfaced in her mind...

If this continued, it would not just be Lei La and his grandfather Lei Ou who would suffer. The entire Mite'er Family might be antagonized by the force behind this boy.

"Stop! All of you, stop! Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Mite'er Family!" Ya Fei shouted sharply.

At Ya Fei's shout, all the guards hesitated. Even though they knew Ya Fei's status was lower than Lei La's, her near-hysterical roar and threat

still left them feeling stifled.

"Continue! He injured my grandson in the Mittel Auction House. If we let him leave unharmed, how will the Mittel Auction House ever maintain its footing in the Jia Ma Empire?"

Just as everyone was hesitating, an angry roar came from the second floor of the Mite'er Auction House. An elderly figure then shot out!

The arrival...

was Lei Ou, Lei La's grandfather!

"You beat the little one, and now the old one has come out, huh?"

Gu Fang looked coldly at Lei Ou's aged face and sneered. "I really don't know where a mere Dou Ling gets the courage to act so arrogantly. Get lost now, or I won't mind wiping out your entire Mite'er Family!"

As Gu Fang spoke, he lightly raised his arm. In the next moment...

Ling Wu, who had been concealed in the shadows, slowly stepped out.

When Lei Ou saw Ling Wu appear, he immediately frowned.

What was going on? When had this man appeared here? Had he been here before?

Impossible. Absolutely not.

He had either just appeared, or else...

he had been here all along, and Lei Ou simply had not noticed him!

To remain hidden right under his nose without being discovered—there was only one possibility: this man was stronger than him!

At that thought, Lei Ou no longer dared to act arrogantly. He clasped his hands toward Ling Wu. "I am Lei Ou, an elder of the Mite'er Family. May I ask how I should address you?"
