At that moment, the people gathered outside Old Master Liu's clinic were already buzzing with discussion.
"Tsk, tsk! A Crimson Fire Beast at the Profound Elephant Realm! He Tie's getting more and more impressive!"
"That's right. This Crimson Fire Beast is probably in the early Profound Elephant Realm. It must have at least Ten Elephant Strength!"
"He Tie managed to take down a Crimson Fire Beast like this. Looks like the kid's already entered the Profound Elephant Realm, doesn't it?"
"..."
In this small mountain village, the strongest Warrior had reached the late Profound Elephant Realm. Of the two or three hundred people in the whole village, only a little over twenty Warriors had reached the Profound Elephant Realm.
The He Tie everyone was talking about was the village chief's youngest son. He was only sixteen years old.
To reach the Profound Elephant Realm at sixteen, with strength equivalent to Ten Elephant Strength, made him a once-in-a-century genius in the village.
At that moment, He Tie stood before the Crimson Fire Beast, his face brimming with pride as he basked in everyone's praise.
But every so often, his eyes drifted toward Liu Xiaowan. It was obvious he had feelings for her.
However, when he saw Qin Shaofeng beside Liu Xiaowan, his brows furrowed and his heart filled with displeasure.
Damn it, that Qin had shown up again!
Still, He Tie's mood quickly recovered.
No need to worry. That Qin looks sickly. Xiaowan couldn't possibly like him. Xiaowan's just kindhearted and helping him recover.
As if his self-reassurance had worked, He Tie turned away and stopped paying attention to Qin Shaofeng. Smiling at Old Master Liu, he said, "Grandpa Liu, I'll have to trouble you this time!"
"Haha, no problem!"
Old Master Liu laughed, completely unconcerned. If anything, he seemed pleased.
