Mediocre Talent, Three Months of Cultivation! Can Defeat a First-Class Martial Artist!?

In front of the Xiao Family Hall.

A forceful punch came.

The Third Elder, greatly alarmed, quickly raised his hands to block.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out, and the Third Elder was forced back five steps.

Before he could steady himself, another gust of wind struck.

He looked up sharply. Xiao Huohuo had appeared nearby at some unknown time!

A scarlet fist, lacking any discernible technique, came flying.

But this scene made the Third Elder's scalp tingle. He channeled the strength within him and hastily used his agility, struggling to dodge.

Xiao Zhan and the other two standing on the white marble steps watched in disbelief, mouths agape.

"Is this really Huohuo?"

"It's actually true!"

The young man before them pursued with agility. Both his speed and the force of his attacks surpassed the Third Elder's by a degree.

The latter could only dodge in panic. Even his attempts to counter were easily neutralized.

The Third Elder was being completely suppressed!

Such an unbelievable scene was hard to fathom!

As Xiao Huohuo attacked, everyone could see the foundation of his confidence.

It was his formidable strength!

Xiao Huohuo's footwork and moves seemed to lack any formal technique, not some powerful martial skill or supreme art. He was purely relying on his sheer strength, where great force could shatter anything, forcing the Third Elder into a position where he couldn't even retaliate!

Amidst their exclamations, Xiao Huohuo suddenly leaped into the air and struck downwards with a punch.

Elder Shan below saw this and immediately gathered his energy to resist.

Crack!

Fist met palm!

The Third Elder's feet were planted firmly on the ground, dragging long, eight or nine-meter-long marks in the dirt before he finally stopped. This showed the might of that punch.

After this punch, Xiao Huohuo turned and landed, retracting his aura, having stopped at the right moment.

Seeing this, the Third Elder's body finally relaxed, weary and somewhat dejected, his qi and blood still vibrating.

He looked at Xiao Huohuo as if he didn't recognize the young man, gasping in surprise, "Young Clan Leader, you are truly formidable!"

To others, it might have seemed like he was simply being suppressed by Xiao Huohuo.

However, only he, who had fought him, knew the truth.

Xiao Huohuo's every move and strike, though seemingly without technique, relying purely on brute force and speed, carried a terrifying power that vibrated through his bones with every clash of fist and palm, making him increasingly strained.

After calming the aura within his body, Xiao Huohuo exhaled and said, "Father, Elders, this is the strength I possess after absorbing nine spiritual energies."

The three stood stunned like wooden statues for a moment, then their eyes lit up, and they burst into laughter!

"Hahaha, good, good, truly good!"

Xiao Zhan laughed, exclaiming "good" several times. Full of spirit, he felt as if he had become much younger in an instant.

He walked straight to Xiao Huohuo and examined him repeatedly, his eyes still filled with unconcealed joy and shock.

"Good, worthy of being my Xiao Zhan's son, possessing the potential to surpass a Grandmaster!"

The elders watching from the side scowled. How could Xiao Zhan be so shameless?

What does that have to do with you? It's clearly the Immortal Master's ability!

However, the three elders wouldn't slight Xiao Zhan's feelings, and they stepped forward together to congratulate him.

"The Clan Leader is right. I've long seen that Huohuo is no ordinary person."

"His previous decline was merely because he hadn't met a good teacher."

The First Elder snorted with satisfaction, "That Young Sect Master of the Misty Sect has no foresight. With the current situation, our Xiao Family's Young Clan Leader will definitely win!"

The four were overjoyed and immediately turned to look at Chu Feng.

They all understood that without Chu Feng, Xiao Huohuo would not be where he was today.

Chu Feng was the true fire that allowed Xiao Huohuo to be reborn from the ashes!

Xiao Zhan's eyes welled up with tears. He bowed solemnly, "Xiao Zhan thanks the Immortal Master for saving Huohuo's life."

Although Xiao Zhan had always been inarticulate and hadn't said it directly before, after the Three-Year Pact was established, he could see Xiao Huohuo's dejection and despair.

These emotions could not be soothed in the face of the fact that a man's dignity was about to be utterly destroyed.

This humiliation had tightened Xiao Huohuo like a taut string, one that could snap at any moment.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Zhan had indulged Xiao Huohuo so much, letting him run around looking for some so-called Hermit Expert.

He just hadn't expected that, in this desperate situation where defeat was certain, Xiao Huohuo would actually find that one path.

He found this Immortal Master who could turn decay into magic.

The Three Elders also bowed in unison:

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

Chu Feng already looked indifferent, without a ripple of emotion:

"No need to thank me."

"Huohuo is my disciple, I will naturally teach him well and not let him suffer any grievances."

After learning of Chu Feng's identity and strength, Xiao Zhan and the other three invited Chu Feng to stay at the Xiao Family residence, which Chu Feng naturally did not refuse.

In a flash, two months passed.

Inside a side room of the Xiao Family.

A young man sat cross-legged on the bed.

As his breathing rose and fell steadily, a clear, ruddy luster could be seen flowing around the young man's body.

From his limbs to his torso, if one looked closely, they could discern as many as ten rays of rosy glow.

That's right, after returning to the Xiao Family, Xiao Huohuo had once again stiffened his neck.

He gritted his teeth, determined to break through to ten spiritual energies for Spirit Absorption into Body before proceeding to Qi Refining.

Chu Feng had only lectured him a couple of times before letting him be.

Perhaps it was due to resolving his inner turmoil upon returning to the Xiao Family, or perhaps it was the buff from the protagonist's territory, but Xiao Huohuo had truly broken through to the level of ten spiritual energies again in one month.

It took another month for Xiao Huohuo to completely integrate and master all ten spiritual energies.

Now, he was repeatedly striking at the realm of the first layer of Qi Refining.

Finally, Xiao Huohuo's skin was covered in sweat.

The ten spiritual energies also overflowed within his body simultaneously, forming a perfect sun and moon behind him, connected together.

When the spiritual energies merged perfectly, the halo of spiritual energy suddenly emitted a dazzling radiance.

Suddenly, Xiao Huohuo's eyes snapped open.

Within his body, spiritual energies naturally surged along the paths of his meridians like a flood, connecting together in a short while.

The ten spiritual energies transformed into a more solidified and pure aura.

This aura made Xiao Huohuo's nose and mouth clear, his whole body comfortable, as if indicating a very profound realm.

The corners of his mouth curled up as he joyfully observed his body.

This indescribable comfort, the pure soft light subtly emanating from his skin, and the sudden increase in strength.

These were the signs that he had entered the first layer of Qi Refining.

He had finally crossed the first threshold of cultivating immortality!

Xiao Huohuo clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes deep:

"Master, I did it."

Although he was much slower than his Master and those so-called cultivation geniuses, he had still entered the first layer of Qi Refining with ten levels of spiritual energy.

Only in this way would he not disgrace his Master's name!
