Wouldn't Be, Wouldn't Be, Wouldn't Someone Want to Back Down After Showing Off?

"Kid, I don't know whether you were hiding your abilities before or what, but since you came looking for a beating, us brothers will gladly oblige!"

Since Xiao Zhan had spoken, the brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu immediately had no more reservations. They strode viciously toward Xiao Lang, determined to teach him a proper lesson. He had actually wanted to put sacks filled with crap over their heads—this was simply intolerable!

Xiao Lang looked into the system space and saw that there really was a cultivation method lying inside. He immediately selected it and chose to learn it.

Boom!

In an instant, Xiao Lang felt a flood of memories surge into his mind, while a scene emerged in his thoughts.

Within that scene, a blurry figure stood in the void, followed by a deep, resonant voice.

"I am the Water Saint. This Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing is my proudest technique. Once mastered, it possesses the might to overturn mountains and suppress seas!"

Then, the Water Saint began to perform Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing. In an instant, seawater surged upside down like a descending Milky Way, mountains crumbled, and shattered rocks shot through the air!

Terrifying beyond belief!

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

"Ding! Collect two [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing Fragments] to fuse them into a Profound Tier High-grade Dou Skill! Collect three [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing Fragments] to fuse them into an Earth Tier Low-grade Dou Skill! By analogy, collect five [Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing Fragments] to fuse them 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, giving him even greater confidence in the coming battle.

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

"Learn Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step!"

Xiao Lang then learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step without hesitation, only to discover that no special scene appeared in his mind.

"Looks like this Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step is just a plain Profound Tier Low-grade Dou Skill."

Thinking of Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step from Douluo Continent, Xiao Lang could not help but sneer. Though he said nothing, he had said everything.

Seeing Xiao Lang suddenly sneer, the brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu immediately became vigilant. But when they saw that he was still spacing out after sneering, they could not help but laugh.

"Wouldn't be, wouldn't be, wouldn't someone want to back down after showing off?"

Smack! Smack!

The moment their words fell, a black shadow flashed over. Each of them received a Big Slap, and blood immediately trickled from the corners of their mouths.

The one who had hit them was Xiao Lang.

A smile played on his lips as he looked at Xiao Long and Xiao Hu. "With skills like yours, you dare show off in front of me?"

"So fast!"

"That speed must be at the level of a two-star, maybe even a Three-star Dou Practitioner!"

"Is that a movement Dou Skill? Our clan doesn't have one like that, does it?"

Seeing Xiao Lang's speed, everyone revealed astonished expressions, mixed with confusion.

The three elders also looked surprised. They glanced at Xiao Zhan, suspicion stirring in their hearts.

Naturally, Xiao Zhan knew what the three old men were thinking, but he offered no explanation. After all, even he did not know where his son had obtained this movement Dou Skill.

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

"It looks like Third Brother may not necessarily lose with that strange movement Dou Skill of his." Xiao Li smiled at the sight.

"Pah! You brat have no martial ethics! You actually launched a sneak attack!" Xiao Hu pressed his tongue against his cheek, then spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Are you telling a joke? Since when did I, Xiao Lang, ever possess something called martial ethics?" Xiao Lang looked completely at ease. Not only was he unashamed of his sneak attack, he even seemed proud of it. "Besides, would an enemy talk to you about martial ethics?"

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

"..."

Hearing that, everyone's mouths twitched.

You were praising yourself for being handsome here!

They knew he was shameless, but they had not expected him to be this shameless.

Still, when they thought of everything Xiao Lang had done before, they found that they could understand it.

He was not even bothering to hide it now, was he?

"..."

Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. He could not bear to keep watching. He had four sons, so why had one of them turned out like this?

He immediately said, "My son is right. No matter the circumstances, you must always remain vigilant and never let your guard down."

"..."

The three elders' mouths twitched. Like father, like son indeed.

Was he openly shielding his son now?

Still, what he said made sense, so they had no way to refute him.

Only the Second Elder said with a livid expression, "What are you two standing around for? Get up there! If you still lose in a two-on-one fight, go back and face the wall for three months!"

"Yes!"

Seeing their grandfather lose his temper, Xiao Long and Xiao Hu immediately watched Xiao Lang warily, afraid that he would sneak attack them again.

They decided to strike first.

Thunderclap Palm!

Xiao Long circulated his Dou Qi and charged at Xiao Lang at high speed. At the same time, he thrust out a palm. Lightning-attributed Dou Qi wrapped around it, making the strike as swift as thunder as it shot straight for Xiao Lang's chest.

Thunderclap Palm was a Profound Tier Low-grade Dou Skill and one of the Xiao clan's finest offensive Dou Skills. Combined with Xiao Long's lightning-attributed Dou Qi, it was even more powerful than when used by an ordinary person!

"Still too slow."

As he watched the fierce wind rush toward him, Xiao Lang finally realized just how fast he truly was.

Even if the other party had a speed boost, how much could an offensive Dou Skill increase his speed?

"Have another Big Slap!"

Xiao Lang stepped with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step and effortlessly dodged the attack. Just as he was about to counterattack, another gust of wind came from behind him.

Stone Shattering Palm!

Xiao Hu seemed to have anticipated this. Having calculated the direction in which Xiao Lang would evade, he immediately chopped a palm toward Xiao Lang's back.

The wind howled as Dou Qi erupted. This palm was enough to split stone; if it landed on Xiao Lang's back, it certainly would not feel good.

"Not bad. You've learned how to sneak attack."

"Since that's the case, I'll give you another lesson."

Mountain Overturning Sea Suppressing!

Seeing this, Xiao Lang did not panic. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips. Dou Qi surged within his body, and as his hands moved, he fiercely slammed both palms toward the brothers Xiao Long and Xiao Hu.

In an instant, Xiao Long and Xiao Hu seemed to hear mountains collapsing and seas roaring by their ears. But by the time they reacted, they found a pair of slender, fair hands ruthlessly striking their chests.

Bang!

A tremendous force erupted from those seemingly soft and powerless hands. Neither of them could resist it, and both were sent flying off the arena.

Pfft!

The two fell to the ground, clutching their chests as they spat out blood. They stared in horror at the white-clothed youth standing on the arena.

Silence!

Deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes widened, as though the scene before them was utterly unbelievable.

"My god, am I seeing things? He sent two people flying with one palm!"

"What grade of Dou Skill was that?"

"I'm in love! I'm in love! Little Brother Xiao Lang, grow up quickly—Big Sister will be waiting for you."

After recovering from their shock, the crowd immediately erupted into all kinds of exclamations.

Xiao Lang stood in the center with his hands behind his back. He calmly swept his gaze over everyone before looking at Xiao Long and Xiao Hu.

"This lesson is called: an expert only needs one move to defeat an enemy."

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