Caught Su Xiaobai! [Seeking Flowers, Collections, and Reviews!]

Hearing this, all the Zhang family members present couldn't help but freeze for a moment, then exchanged glances, utterly bewildered.

What news had the second head brought back?

Why was the family head so overjoyed after hearing it, and even preparing to take on the Yuan family?

Could it be that he had managed to invite some exceptionally powerful expert to help?

The crowd pressed for answers, but Zhang Henglong didn't reply. Instead, he told them to stay put in the family compound, and he and Zhang Hengde left together.

And so, under the puzzled gazes of the Zhang family's upper echelons, the two quickly drove to Su Xiaobai's temporary residence.

"Guest Elder Su isn't here?"

To keep a low profile, the two had deliberately concealed their figures and suppressed their auras.

But when they knocked on Su Xiaobai's door, Su Ling'er told them Su Xiaobai had gone out.

"Yeah, my brother hasn't come back yet."

Su Ling'er said crisply.

"Alright then, we'll come visit him later!"

Zhang Henglong and Zhang Hengde didn't leave. Instead, they went to a high vantage point in the building across the street, keeping watch over Su Ling'er while waiting for Su Xiaobai to return.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaobai was in the Warrior Hall, selecting weapons specifically for his Shadow.

Long blades, long swords, and some long-edged weapons capable of area damage... Su Xiaobai spent ten thousand and bought five Alloy Grade weapons.

"System, equip these five weapons to the Shadow!"

Su Xiaobai commanded.

"Equipping complete!"

The Shadow, dozens of kilometers away at the base, had been using its limbs to fight Fierce Beasts. Suddenly, weapons appeared in its hands, and its movements shifted as it began fighting the beasts with them!

With the weapons taken care of, Su Xiaobai went to pick out some Microscopic Level Weapon Techniques suited for long swords and long blades.

Spending ten thousand and an hour, Su Xiaobai recorded all five Microscopic Level Weapon Techniques.

"System, temporarily remove the three techniques currently being trained!"

"Swap in these three!"

The three avatars of the Automated Skill Training system changed their stances, holding virtual long blades and long swords, rapidly executing various movements.

In just a few minutes.

All three Weapon Techniques reached Beginner level.

Su Xiaobai quickly swapped out two of them.

"Done!"

"All of them are at Beginner level!"

"After a little more time, they'll reach Intermediate, then Advanced. The Shadow's strength will increase by at least 50%!"

Su Xiaobai's eyes flickered.

The Shadow's strength had already risen alongside Su Xiaobai to a level comparable to an Intermediate Martial Master... With weapons and Weapon Techniques to assist, matching an Advanced Martial Master was no difficult feat!

This meant that with the five Shadows' power surging, their monster-killing efficiency would also skyrocket!

Based on Su Xiaobai's current estimates, in just one week, the income from Fierce Beast materials alone would be at least hundreds of millions of Spirit Coins... If he refined some pills along the way, earning several hundred million Spirit Coins a month would be a trivial matter!

Just as Su Xiaobai was happily envisioning his ever-increasing income and growing strength, his expression suddenly shifted.

"Outside the training room... several new auras have appeared!"

Su Xiaobai's gaze turned serious.

Spatial Perception radiated outward—

Sure enough.

Originally, the area outside the training room had mostly been Quasi-Warriors or Warriors waiting to take turns using it... But suddenly, a crowd of Martial Masters and Warriors had swarmed in!

Intermediate Warriors, Advanced Warriors, Beginner Martial Masters, Intermediate Martial Masters... A rough count put them at over thirty people!

All of them had hostile expressions and murderous glints in their eyes.

Especially the leading Intermediate Martial Master, who stared fixedly at the training room door... as if he wished he could pierce through it and drag Su Xiaobai out.

"I've been looking for you everywhere..."

Who else could this Intermediate Martial Master be but Yuan Qi?

He had searched for Su Xiaobai for so long, never finding him, as if he had vanished into thin air... Just as Yuan Qi was about to give up, someone suddenly reported that Su Xiaobai had appeared in the Warrior Hall!

Immediately, Yuan Qi led his men there.

"Yuan Qi, do we make a move?"

Another Intermediate Martial Master from the Yuan family asked.

"This is the government's Warrior Hall! If they make a move here, the Yuan Family will suffer a huge loss!"

"No need to rush. When he comes out, we'll give him a proper 'reception'!"

Yuan Qi's gaze was vicious.

Inside the training room.

Through Spatial Perception, Su Xiaobai overheard Yuan Qi and the others' words.

"Heh, I wasn't looking for them, but they've come knocking on my door!"

Su Xiaobai sneered coldly. "Perfect. Since they've delivered themselves to me, why should I hold back?"

He hadn't concealed himself, appearing openly in the Warrior Hall—that alone was enough to make a statement!

The Yuan Family wanted to kill him.

He wanted to kill the Yuan Family too.

It was either him or them, plain and simple.

If not for his concern that the Yuan Family were residents of the Core Area and might alert the major clans there, why would Su Xiaobai have waited until now?

But things were different now.

The other side had come to him on their own, meaning they had a foolproof plan to cover their tracks, ensuring the major clans in the Core Area wouldn't find out... Su Xiaobai could just use that to pull off a brilliant counter-kill!

"Shhh—"

A sound like air escaping rang out as the training room door slowly slid open.

Su Xiaobai resumed his calm, composed expression, pretending not to notice anything as he walked out of the training room with an air of nonchalance.

"That's him, no mistake!"

Yuan Qi's eyes flashed with sharp light.

Seventeen years old, Senior Quasi-Warrior!

His appearance matched the photo exactly!

"Excuse me."

Yuan Qi stepped forward, blocking Su Xiaobai's path, baring his teeth in a harmless-looking grin. "You must be Guest Elder Su Xiaobai, right?"

"That's right, it's me."

Su Xiaobai put on a bewildered look.

"I'm from the Zhang Family. The family head wishes to see you, saying there's an urgent matter to discuss!"

Yuan Qi's smile hid a knife.

"Urgent matter?"

"But I'm a bit busy right now!"

Su Xiaobai said with an innocent expression.

"Guest Elder Su, don't worry. It won't take up too much of your time. The family head is already waiting, and all the other guest elders have arrived. You're the only one missing!"

Yuan Qi said with a beaming smile.

"Alright, since everyone's here, I suppose I can't refuse."

"Lead the way."

Su Xiaobai nodded and agreed.

A flicker of glee and viciousness passed through Yuan Qi's eyes...

Under his guidance, Su Xiaobai got into the car and headed for the Core Area.

"Kid, you've wasted so much of my time. Just wait... soon you'll know how terrible it is to be an enemy of the Yuan Family!"
