Xiao Huohuo's Strength Revealed! Half a Year! From Third-rate to Houtian!

Misty Sect.

On the training ground, the young girl retreated more than ten meters abruptly, landing to the side.

And the young man, who should have fallen, still looked relaxed and at ease.

For a moment, there was dead silence.

Everyone was completely stunned by this scene.

Countless disciples and Elders were frozen like wooden chickens.

"What, what's going on?"

"Am I seeing things? The Young Sect Master was actually pushed back?!"

"Didn't they say Xiao Huohuo was just a third-rate waste, how could he...?"

Everyone exchanged glances, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The young man who repelled the Young Sect Master and pursued her with leisurely steps was actually the one they had always mocked, the overconfident waste, Xiao Huohuo?

On the small immortal platform, the leaders of the various sects were also stunned in place, seemingly unable to comprehend what was happening.

The Moon Sword Sect Master swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just now, his eyes had seen it clearly.

Xiao Huohuo's punch and stance were full of power, striking with extreme ferocity.

How could this be the move of a third-rate martial artist?

Moreover, to be able to overpower Xu Ling'er, his strength had likely already reached the early Houtian realm!

"My old eyes were mistaken."

"This kid was hiding his strength too deeply."

The Moon Sword Sect Master scanned the surroundings, his gaze even covering Wu Shan.

"There isn't a single person here who could discern Xiao Huohuo's true strength."

"Not even the Misty Sect Master, who is at the Xiantian Peak..."

The Mountain Gate Sect Master beside him also sighed:

"At sixteen years old, to cultivate to a level comparable to the top heavenly prodigy Xu Ling'er within a small family, yet possess such a patient temperament, never revealing himself even when mocked by hundreds or thousands. He is watertight."

"This child is truly terrifying!"

The two exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

To cultivate such strength in a small family, the talent required was unimaginable.

Xu Ling'er was already strong enough, a once-in-a-century genius, and she had only reached this point with the support of the Misty Sect.

And clearly, this Xiao Huohuo seemed to be even stronger...

In a small family with few resources, relying on his own cultivation, he reached the Houtian realm at sixteen...

If it were them, with such talent, they would have revealed it three years ago when Xu Ling'er broke off the engagement.

How could they have hidden it until today?

They had never considered the possibility that Xiao Huohuo only discovered his cultivation talent after the three-year pact.

After all, two years to go from third-rate to Houtian was simply too fantastical...

On the training ground.

Xu Ling'er looked at Xiao Huohuo in disbelief:

"How can your strength be like this?!"

She vividly remembered the young man who stood before her three years ago.

That youth, who had suffered immense humiliation and was utterly incapable of resistance, was merely a third-rate waste.

How, in just three short years, had he reached such a level, with an aura not much inferior to hers?

Was this even possible?

Three years ago, her realm was already higher than Xiao Huohuo's, just one step away from breaking through to the first-rate martial artist realm.

In three years, under the cultivation of countless pills, cultivation methods, and famous teachers within a top sect like the Misty Sect in Cangzhou, she had only managed to surpass the first-rate martial artist realm and enter the Houtian realm.

Yet Xiao Huohuo, the young clan leader of a small family, had actually caught up.

Could such a thing truly happen in the world?

Hearing this, Xiao Huohuo glanced at Xu Ling'er, naturally knowing what this young girl was thinking.

He proudly held his head high and said:

"It's merely being a frog in a well."

"Ever since I took Master as my Master, Xiao Huohuo is no longer the Xiao Huohuo of the past."

His eyes swept across everyone, revealing a mocking light smile:

"You all simply do not know what an transcendent existence Master is."

The voice fell, and a terrifying aura swept up once more.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Xiao Huohuo conjured a spiritual energy between his palms. He pushed off with his toes, shattering the white stone bricks, and ferociously charged towards Xu Ling'er.

Though startled, she didn't retreat. With equally nimble agility, she quickly closed the distance.

Xiao Huohuo showed no mercy, his fist, glowing with rosy light, smashed directly towards Xu Ling'er's face.

Seeing this, she dodged, avoiding his sharpest blow.

As Xiao Huohuo's fist was sidestepped, he naturally twisted it into a claw and swiped at Xu Ling'er.

The change was so rapid that Xu Ling'er had almost no time to dodge. She quickly raised her arms to block.

Slap!

A claw struck Xu Ling'er's arm. She suddenly felt her legs grow heavy, her arm numb, almost losing all sensation!

Seeing this, Xu Ling'er gritted her silver teeth, channeling her internal energy to push away Xiao Huohuo's fist. Then, she unleashed a rapid series of leg sweeps.

However, these consecutive sweeps were easily neutralized by Xiao Huohuo.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two exchanged over a dozen blows.

Yet, Xiao Huohuo consistently held the upper hand.

Witnessing this, everyone gasped, their scalps tingling.

How could Xiao Huohuo be so fierce? He was actually suppressing Xu Ling'er steadily?

The Sect Master of Moon Sword Sect remarked in surprise:

"It seems their realms are comparable... no, Xiao Huohuo's is slightly higher."

"He's actually using wild punches without any martial arts routines to beat back the Heavenly Prodigy of Misty Sect!"

Beside him, the Sect Master of Mountain Gate Sect, his eyes never leaving the two figures, exclaimed:

"Xu Ling'er applies Misty Sect's foundational martial arts with great thoroughness."

"Her Cloud Crane Agility and Probing Cloud Fist are executed with flowing grace, her moves and routines are simply flawless."

"Xiao Huohuo, on the other hand, seems to be relying on brute strength, like wild punches defeating a master."

The Sect Master of Moon Sword Sect also chuckled lightly:

"This will be quite a show."

"Currently, it appears Xiao Huohuo is the one suppressing Xu Ling'er."

"But Xu Ling'er has only been using basic martial skills. Her true capabilities haven't been unleashed yet."

At this point, everyone understood.

Although Xiao Huohuo's strength seemed superior at the moment.

Once Xu Ling'er wielded her sword and unleashed Misty Sect's divine skills and martial arts like the Wind Sword Scripture and Misty Swordplay, the situation would immediately reverse.

Martial arts were the true secret to Heavenly Prodigies defeating opponents of higher levels!

At that time, Xiao Huohuo would have no power to resist.

Meanwhile, along the corridor, the disciples of Misty Sect all wore grim expressions.

How could they have imagined that the "waste" they had previously mocked was now suppressing their Young Sect Master?

This conclusion was unacceptable to them.

They shouted in unison:

"Go, Young Sect Master!"

"Young Sect Master, show him your true skills and teach this guy a lesson!"

Hearing the cheers from above, Xiao Huohuo's movements didn't falter in the slightest.

His fists and feet pressed Xu Ling'er, leaving her with nowhere to retreat!
