"Kid, I don't know if you were hiding your strength before, or what, but since you're asking for a beating, my brother and I will oblige!"

Since Xiao Zhan had spoken, the brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu immediately had no worries. They menacingly walked towards Xiao Lang, determined to teach him a good lesson. To think he'd try to use a sack full of shit to cover them – truly, a man could tolerate much, but this was beyond bearing!

Xiao Lang, however, turned his gaze to the system space. Seeing that a cultivation technique was indeed lying there, he immediately selected to learn it.

BOOM!

In an instant, Xiao Lang felt a surge of memories flood his mind, accompanied by a scene appearing in his consciousness.

In the scene, a blurry figure stood in the void. Then, a deep voice echoed.

"I am the Water Saint. This Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing is my most prized technique. Once mastered, it possesses the might of Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing!"

Following this, the Water Saint began to demonstrate Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing. Instantly, seawater surged backward, like a waterfall from the Milky Way, mountains crumbled, and rocks flew through the air!

Terrifying indeed!

"Ding! Congratulations to Host for learning Profound Tier Mid-grade Dou Skill: Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing (Incomplete)!"

"Ding! Collecting two copies of [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing Incomplete Scroll] can be merged into a Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill! Collecting three copies of [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing Incomplete Scroll] can be merged into an Earth Tier Low-grade Dou Skill! Continuing this pattern, collecting five copies of [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing Incomplete Scroll] can be merged into the Earth Tier High-grade Dou Skill [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing]!"

As the system prompts sounded, Xiao Lang immediately gained a certain grasp of the Dou Skill [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing], increasing his confidence for the upcoming battle.

After all, this was a Dou Skill created by a Dou Saint expert!

"Learn Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Xiao Lang then unhesitatingly learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, only to find that no special effects appeared in his mind.

"It seems Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track is just a simple Profound Tier Low-grade Dou Skill."

Xiao Lang thought of Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track from Douluo Continent, and couldn't help but let out a sneer. Although he said nothing, his expression conveyed everything.

Seeing Xiao Lang suddenly sneer, the brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu immediately became wary. But upon realizing he was still in a daze after his sneer, they couldn't help but laugh:

"No way, no way, is someone going to pretend to be tough and then back down?"

Slap, slap!

But as soon as their words fell, a black shadow struck. Instantly, one person received a heavy slap to the face, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The attacker was Xiao Lang.

With a smile on his lips, he looked at Xiao Long and Xiao Hu and said, "Is this all you've got? How dare you show off in front of me?"

"So fast!"

"This speed must be at least a two-star or even three-star Dou Practitioner!"

"Is this a movement Dou Skill? Our family doesn't have this Dou Skill, do we?"

Seeing Xiao Lang's speed, everyone showed surprise, mixed with confusion.

The three elders also showed astonishment, glancing at Xiao Zhan, their minds filled with suspicion.

Xiao Zhan naturally knew what these three old fellows were thinking, but he didn't explain anything, as he himself didn't know where his son's movement Dou Skill came from.

However, no matter where it came from, as long as it belonged to his son, that was enough.

"It seems Third Brother might not necessarily lose with this peculiar movement Dou Skill," Xiao Li said with a smile upon seeing this.

"Pah! You kid, you're dishonorable, attacking sneakily!" Xiao Hu nudged his cheek with his tongue, then spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Are you joking? When has Xiao Lang ever possessed honor?" Xiao Lang said frankly, not ashamed of sneak attacking but rather proud of it. "Besides, would an enemy show you honor?"

"Today, Teacher Xiao will give you a lesson: never trust handsome men. The more handsome a man is, the more ruthless his heart is."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone's mouths twitched.

He's praising his own handsomeness here!

We knew you were shameless, but we didn't expect you to be this shameless.

But thinking about what Xiao Lang did before, they felt they could understand it.

But now he's not even hiding it, is that it?

"..."

Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. He couldn't bear to watch any longer. Of his four sons, why did this one appear?

He immediately said, "My son is right. Under any circumstances, one must always remain vigilant and not let their guard down."

"..."

The three elders' mouths twitched. As expected, like father, like son.

Is this kind of cover-up so blatant now?

However, what they said made sense, and they couldn't refute it.

Only the Second Elder's face turned ashen as he said, "What are you two standing around for? Hurry up and attack! If you lose even one-on-two, you'll be confined to the wall for three months!"

"Yes!"

Seeing their grandfather throw a tantrum, Xiao Long and Xiao Hu immediately looked at Xiao Lang warily, afraid of another sneak attack.

So he decided to strike first.

"Thunderclap Palm!"

Xiao Long circulated his Dou Qi, charging rapidly toward Xiao Lang. At the same time, he thrust out a palm, his lightning-attribute Dou Qi coiling around it. This palm strike was as fast as thunder, heading straight for Xiao Lang's chest.

Thunderclap Palm, a Profound Tier Low-grade Dou Skill, was a top-tier offensive Dou Skill even within the Xiao family. Combined with Xiao Long's lightning-attribute Dou Qi, its power was even greater than when used by others!

"Still too slow."

Seeing the powerful gust of wind approaching, Xiao Lang finally realized just how fast he was.

Even if the opponent had a speed boost, how much speed could an offensive Dou Skill really increase?

"Take another big hit from me!"

Xiao Lang stepped into the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, easily dodging the attack. Just as he was about to counter, another gust of wind came from behind him.

"Stone Shattering Palm!"

Xiao Hu seemed to have anticipated this, calculating Xiao Lang's dodging direction. He immediately swung a palm at Xiao Lang's back.

The wind whistled and Dou Qi erupted. This palm strike was powerful enough to crack stone. If it had hit Xiao Lang's back, it would have been no small matter.

"Learned well. You've learned to sneak attack."

"Since that's the case, let me teach you another lesson."

"Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lang didn't panic. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Dou Qi surged within him, and with a wave of his hands, he suddenly struck out at the brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu.

In an instant, Xiao Long and Xiao Hu seemed to hear the sound of mountains collapsing and seas roaring in their ears. By the time they reacted, they found a slender, fair hand ruthlessly slapping their chests.

Bang!

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from these two seemingly soft and powerless hands. The two were completely unable to resist and were sent flying backward, falling off the stage.

"Pfft!"

They landed on the ground, clutching their chests, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Their faces were filled with horror as they looked at the white-clothed youth on the stage.

Silence!

A deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes were wide, as if this scene was utterly unbelievable.

"My god, did I see that right? He knocked two people away with one palm!"

"What kind of Dou Skill is this!"

"I love it, I love it. Little brother Xiao Lang, hurry up and grow up, I'll be waiting for you."

After reacting, the crowd erupted in various exclamations.

Xiao Lang stood in the center of the stage with his hands behind his back, sweeping his gaze over the crowd. He then looked at Xiao Long and Xiao Hu and said, "This lesson is called: A true expert defeats the enemy in one move."

"If you're interested in learning, I'll give you a friendly price: one hundred gold coins."
