Xiao Yan Takes the Field

The spear reappeared in Huang Lin's hand, and a flash of madness crossed his eyes. "Can't you turn invisible? Fine. Today, I'll use an all-out attack battle skill. I refuse to believe I can't hit you." Huang Lin opened a jade vial, and a medicinal pill appeared in his hand. He swallowed it in one gulp, immediately strengthening his control over the lightning attribute by several degrees.

"Bumpkins will always be bumpkins. You've reached the Dou Emperor level, yet you're still taking pills below Emperor grade. On World-Creation Continent, you have neither strength nor relatives to protect you, so all you can do is take a beating. You may be stronger than most of them, but every one of them has their family's protection. That means no matter how useless they are, they can still bully you. If you dare resist, a whole crowd will naturally come deal with you." Xiao Yao spoke to Huang Lin, utterly unconcerned that Huang Lin's powerful battle skill was still gathering force.

"I'm telling you this so that in your next life, you can find a better continent to be reborn on. Don't be born again in that godforsaken place of yours."

"Shut the hell up! I said I'm from Azure North Continent. It isn't some godforsaken place. Your place is the damned hole that bred animals like you, bastards who throw your weight around because of others!" As Huang Lin finished speaking, bolts of lightning as thick as water barrels erupted from the ground around him. The earth itself seemed to tremble. Huang Lin used the last of his battle qi to unleash the Heaven Tier high-grade all-out attack battle skill, Thunder Shakes the Nine Provinces, but all he heard was Xiao Yao's sigh.

The incoming lightning power was instantly neutralized by someone. A man in white appeared before Xiao Yao. With one hand behind his back and the other reaching into the air, he effortlessly dissolved the attack. He glanced expressionlessly at Huang Lin before turning his gaze to Xiao Yan. "You've seen it clearly now, haven't you? This is the Xiao Clan of World-Creation Continent. Nobles possess supreme authority, and they are very united. Unlike you lot—if your people could join forces, you wouldn't be in such a miserable state."

"Brother Ming, stop wasting words on this brat. Miss Wanqing will be back soon. With her here, the brothers can't cut loose. Leave this person from whatever Bird-Fighting Continent to Xiao Feng." A noble spoke to the man in white. This man was the one who had spoken to Xiao Yan earlier, as well as the leader of this whole group—Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming had arrived on World-Creation Continent ten years ago. This time, he had come specifically to pick up this gang of fair-weather friends.

Xiao Yan ignored the crowd's clamor. He walked over to Huang Lin and sent his battle qi into Huang Lin's body. Huang Lin looked at Xiao Yan and wanted to resist, but he no longer had the strength even to speak. He merely felt a scorching aura circulate through his body once, without anything unusual happening. Only after that did Xiao Yan walk to the arena. "Since you want to fight, then fight. Anyone who insults the people of Battle Qi Continent today will pay a terrible price." Xiao Yan's voice was not loud, yet every person heard it clearly.

"Hahaha... Who does this brat think he is? With Brother Xiao Ming, who has one foot in the Emperor Sovereign realm, holding this place down, he still dares act so arrogantly. He truly doesn't know the meaning of death."

"Hahaha, so the people who come from that Bird-Fighting Continent are all raised on bragging."

"Hmph, with us from Heavenly Spirit Continent here, someone still dares be so arrogant? If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think he's the boss."

The nobles were each more viciously sarcastic than the last, as though they could already see Xiao Yan being beaten half to death.

"Xiao Feng, since they want you to go up, then go." The man in white also disliked Xiao Yan's arrogance and spoke coldly.

Xiao Yan Takes the Field

Xiao Yan looked toward the group dressed in lavish robes. He was rather interested in this Xiao Feng. What sort of person had they sent to fight him?

But just then, a somewhat childish voice rang out. "Mister, even though I'm young, you still have to be serious when fighting me." A fist appeared before Xiao Yan. Caught off guard, Xiao Yan hastily retreated several steps before avoiding the attack. At the same time, he understood why he had not seen his opponent appear. His opponent was actually a child of only ten years old. Xiao Yan had not used his soul power earlier, which was why he had failed to notice his opponent. But after seeing his opponent, he felt deeply insulted. He was an experienced Dou Emperor, yet they had sent a ten-year-old child to fight him. What an insult. Xiao Yan's face immediately turned livid. At that moment, all he wanted was a good, satisfying battle.

The young man in white watched Xiao Yan do nothing but dodge and smiled. "Xiao Feng is the Fourth Elder's grandson, or maybe his great-great-great-grandson. I've forgotten exactly. You only need to know that if he cries, you won't be able to survive in the Xiao Clan. So I advise you to obediently let him beat you up. Nobles are not people you lot can afford to offend."

Huang Lin and the four people lying on the ground felt even more sympathy for Xiao Yan upon hearing the man in white. How utterly helpless this was. If Xiao Yan accidentally hurt someone from the Fourth Elder's line, then with how fiercely these nobles protected their own, how could Xiao Yan possibly remain in the Xiao Clan afterward? But if he really let this child beat him up, how could he ever hold his head high in the Xiao Clan again? This move seemed even more vicious than what had been done to them. At least they could still fight openly and fairly.

The nobles watched Xiao Yan keep dodging, smug smiles spreading across their faces. Wasn't he so arrogant? Why had he become such a coward now?

Xiao Yan looked helplessly at the child before him, who attacked without any pattern whatsoever. These people had relied on the abundant Emperor-Origin Qi of this continent to advance quickly, reaching the Dou Emperor realm in a short time. But a child was still a child. How could their combat experience or ability to respond compare to Xiao Yan's? Although the child's attacks were far from ordinary, Xiao Yan still dodged every one of them. Yet Xiao Yan had a headache as well. This child clung to him like a shadow, relentlessly chasing and attacking.

"You call us Bird-Fighting Continent and still won't admit it. You can't even beat a child," someone mocked as Xiao Yan dodged.

Xiao Yan's expression shifted slightly. It was no solution to keep dodging like this. If this child could not hit him and then lay down crying, Xiao Yan would truly have no tears left to shed. They would probably still pin the blame on him.

Xiao Yan felt that he had never fought such a stifling battle in his life. When he had taught Xiao Xiao before, he had struck hard whenever necessary to stabilize her foundation. But this was not his son... A profound sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. Xiao Yan had no idea what he should do.

As long as he did not make him cry, it would be fine. Xiao Yan suddenly grasped the key to the problem. Right, that was it. Since that was the case, this would be easy. A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's lips.

The group in lavish robes, Huang Lin, and the several people lying on the ground were all baffled. At a time like this, he could still smile?

Xiao Yan did not keep them waiting long. When the child once again swung his little fist at him, Xiao Yan said, "Since I can't hurt you, then go sleep quietly for a while."
