Survival of the Fittest

"What! He was personally chosen by Lord Asō..."

Hearing this, Chong Chunyi, already immensely shocked, was even more stunned. He pointed at Yang Ming, his face full of disbelief!

"What, do you doubt my words?"

Shui Daiyi said coldly!

"No, no!"

Chong Chunyi hurriedly dropped to his knees. Looking at Yang Ming, he prostrated himself and repeatedly begged for mercy!

"I failed to recognize greatness, Lord Yuexia. Spare me, please, spare me!"

"What? He's someone Lord Asō has taken a liking to?"

At this moment, the youths in black gradually came to as well. Yang Ming had not tried to kill them, merely knocked them unconscious. Having just awakened and witnessed this scene, they were even more shocked!

"Lord Yuexia, Chong Chunyi offended you. He deserves to die. However you want him killed, I can do it for you."

Shui Daiyi looked at Yang Ming. In his eyes, Chong Chunyi was already a dead man!

"Lord Yuexia, spare me, please, spare me!"

At those words, Chong Chunyi was scared out of his wits and repeatedly kowtowed.

In the eyes of the strong, the weak were nothing but trash.

"Fine. But I don't want to see you bullying anyone from the orphanage again!"

Yang Ming frowned at the sight and said!

Chong Chunyi deserved to die, but he was still a Grass Ninja. Yang Ming could not bring himself to harm one of his own people!

"Thank you, Lord Yuexia, thank you, Lord Yuexia! Rest assured, I'll never do it again. From now on, if anything happens at the orphanage, I'll take responsibility for it. I'll make sure to look after them properly!"

Chong Chunyi was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed!

Only then did Yang Ming nod and turn to leave!

Shui Daiyi shot Chong Chunyi a fierce glare before following after him!

It was only after the two had vanished from sight that Chong Chunyi stood up. He immediately let out a breath, drenched in sweat as though he had just walked before the god of death!

"Yuexia Ming is actually one of Lord Asō's people?"

The youths in black and the others stood up as well. Looking at the two figures disappearing in the distance, the youth in black could not help asking.

"Lord Shui Daiyi personally came forward. How could it be false? I just never expected such a genius to emerge from our Cao Ninja Village. Lord Asō must have taken a liking to his talent!"

Chong Chunyi sighed. He felt as though he had been given a new lease on life.

"He really is powerful. He's only five, yet he sent all of you flying with one punch. And if he had attacked me, I wouldn't even have had the chance to use ninjutsu. He must be one of those exceptionally gifted people. The future hope of our Cao Ninja Village may very well rest on him!"

"No way!"

The youths in black and the others stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it!

"Whether it will or not, a strong person like him is not someone we can afford to provoke. From now on, we'll patrol around the orphanage and serve as its guards. Get this done properly, understand?"

Chong Chunyi waved a hand and looked at everyone!

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement!

Meanwhile, after Shui Daiyi and Yang Ming left, they remained silent all the way!

Seeing Yang Ming say nothing, Shui Daiyi took the initiative to speak!

"In the ninja world, the strong are respected. It's survival of the fittest, and the weak unconditionally submit to the strong. Lord Yuexia, these are things you'll have to experience in the future. But you really are amazing. You left even a Genin like Chong Chunyi utterly unable to resist! Lord Asō sent me to the orphanage to pick you up. On the way, I ran into Gong Lizi and the others. Gong Lizi told me you were here, so I hurried over. I didn't expect to have my eyes opened like this. Lord Yuexia, you truly are extraordinarily gifted!"

"Survival of the fittest is the law of this world. I understood that when I was three. I just never expected something like this to happen even within the village!"

Yang Ming sighed helplessly.

If they had been enemies, he would have killed them without hesitation. But they were fellow Grass Ninja, and there was no irreconcilable blood feud between them!
