I Can Help You Increase Your Strength

Queen Medusa walked out from the depths of the main hall.

Her long red dress trailed along the ground as her narrow eyes fixed on Xiao Xuan, devoid of the slightest warmth.

Seeing the Queen appear, the elders sprawled on the ground all revealed relieved expressions.

The Grand Elder struggled to prop himself up. "Your Majesty, this human..."

Queen Medusa glanced at him, and the Grand Elder immediately shut his mouth, not daring to utter another word.

Xiao Xuan stood where he was, watching Queen Medusa walk toward him.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

[Binding target detected: Queen Medusa. Binding successful. Host has received one random feedback reward. Generating feedback.]

A vast force exploded within Xiao Xuan's body. Dou Qi surged wildly through his meridians, fiercer than ever before.

The bottleneck of the Eight-Star Dou Huang was instantly broken through—Nine-Star Dou Huang, peak Nine-Star Dou Huang, Dou Zong.

His strength continued to rise—One-Star Dou Ancestor, peak One-Star Dou Ancestor, Two-Star Dou Ancestor!

At last, the power stopped rising.

Xiao Xuan closed his eyes and felt the abundant power within him. Two-Star Dou Ancestor.

With this strength, he was already invincible within the Jia Ma Empire. Across the entire Northwest Continent, there were only a handful of people who could fight him.

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes, a streak of golden light flashing through them. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. The system's feedback had not disappointed him after all.

Queen Medusa stopped in front of Xiao Xuan.

Her gaze fell upon the human youth, her eyes filled with icy coldness.

"Human, you have quite the nerve. You trespassed into my Snake-People Tribe's territory, injured my people, and wounded my elders. Are you tired of living?"

Xiao Xuan looked at her without much expression on his face.

The elders lying on the ground looked at Xiao Xuan as though they were looking at a dead man.

The Grand Elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Once Her Majesty makes a move, this human is as good as dead."

The Second Elder nodded forcefully. "He dared to break into the Snake-People Tribe's Temple and injure us. The Queen will never let him go."

The Third Elder sneered. "Just wait. This brat will soon be kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy."

The Fifth Elder said nothing. His injuries were the most severe, and he no longer had the strength even to speak, but his eyes were likewise full of anticipation.

They knew Queen Medusa's strength better than anyone. A Dou Emperor was an invincible existence among the Snake-People Tribe. Though this human youth was strong, he could not possibly be the Queen's match.

That was what the elders thought to themselves.

Queen Medusa stared at Xiao Xuan, the coldness in her eyes growing ever deeper.

"I will give you one chance. Kneel and sever both your arms. I will spare your life."

Xiao Xuan looked at her. "Are you finished?"

Queen Medusa's brows furrowed slightly. "You are not afraid of death?"

Xiao Xuan said nothing.

A trace of anger flashed through Queen Medusa's eyes. In all her years, no one had ever dared speak to her like this. This human youth was the first.

"Fine. Since you seek death, I will grant it to you."

Queen Medusa raised her right hand and struck her palm toward Xiao Xuan.

She used only one-tenth of her strength in this strike. In her eyes, one-tenth of her power was already more than enough to deal with a human youth in his teens.

The palm wind howled as it struck toward Xiao Xuan's chest.

The elders' eyes all lit up.

The Grand Elder clenched his fists. "Her Majesty has made her move. This brat is dead for sure."

A smile appeared on the Second Elder's face. "One-tenth of her strength is enough to seriously injure this human."

The Third Elder nodded. "Just wait and watch him cough up blood."

Bang.

The palm wind struck Xiao Xuan's chest with a dull thud.

The elders all looked toward Xiao Xuan at once, waiting for him to be sent flying, but Xiao Xuan remained standing in place without taking a single step back.

A tear appeared in the clothing over his chest from the palm wind, but there was not a single wound on his body.

Queen Medusa's pupils contracted slightly.

The elders' smiles froze on their faces.

The Grand Elder's eyes widened. "How is that possible?"

The Second Elder's voice trembled. "He... he took the Queen's palm strike head-on and is actually unharmed?"

The Third Elder could not say a single word.
