The atmosphere throughout the grand hall was deathly still.
Ye Xingyun, the proud genius of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family, had been so enraged that he coughed blood and fainted.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that ten-year-old Jun Xiaoyao could defeat Ye Xingyun so effortlessly.
And most importantly, compared to Ye Xingyun's bedraggled state, Jun Xiaoyao's white robes remained spotless, without even a single wrinkle.
This was no mere sparring match. It was a complete and utter crushing!
"The Jun Family's Divine Child is terrifying indeed!" Many people felt a chill run through their hearts.
An old man with a white beard and the bearing of an immortal sighed as well. "With this great age descending, the Jun Family's Divine Child will be one of the most dazzling rising stars of this era, destined to leave his name in the annals of history..."
"The one who spoke is the old Daoist of the Heavenly Dao Sect. He once preached at North Mountain, and he actually holds the Jun Family's Divine Child in such high regard..."
Hearing the white-bearded elder—the old Daoist from the Heavenly Dao Sect—speak so highly of him, everyone grew even more astonished.
The beautiful princess of the Great Shang Dynasty was also dazed, her lovely eyes unfocused as she murmured.
"One glimpse of the Divine Child, and a lifetime is led astray. No other man can ever enter my eyes again..."
The Great Shang princess's words made many men hear the sound of their hearts shattering.
What she meant was that after seeing the Jun Family's Divine Child, no other man could ever catch her eye again.
Just what kind of peerlessly exceptional existence could make the princess of a kingdom utter such words?
At this moment, everyone's gazes were tightly fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao himself remained calm and composed.
Defeating a Ye Xingyun truly amounted to nothing in his eyes.
"Thank you, Lord Divine Child, for showing mercy. Our young master was simply too impulsive. He was delighted upon seeing such prey and had no other intentions."
Uncle Fu, Ye Xingyun's old servant, hurriedly explained, afraid that Jun Xiaoyao might misunderstand.
Though they had the Desolate Ancient Ye Family at their backs, they absolutely did not wish to offend the Jun Family.
"Heh, of course I know. It was merely a simple exchange of sparring," Jun Xiaoyao replied with a perfectly courteous smile.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, then looking at Ye Xingyun, covered in wounds and unconscious from coughing blood—
This could be called a sparring exchange?
He had nearly beaten the man to death!
Even Uncle Fu's mouth twitched slightly as he forced out a stiff smile. "Lord Divine Child is magnanimous. This old man will take our young master and leave first."
"Mm." Jun Xiaoyao nodded casually.
Ye Xingyun was, after all, a member of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family. Though Jun Xiaoyao did not fear them, he had no intention of doing anything further to him. He was merely a fool who acted impulsively for a woman.
Afterward, Uncle Fu carried the unconscious Ye Xingyun away from the Jun Family in disgrace.
"Hehe, I have dampened everyone's spirits. Jun offers a cup of wine in apology."
Jun Xiaoyao swept his gaze around the hall, then raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.
"Not at all, not at all. Divine Child, you are too courteous."
"Indeed, indeed. Such a spectacular battle has truly opened our eyes."
Everyone from every faction present, whether from the younger generation or the older generation, stood and raised their cups in return. Not a single person dared remain seated.
Jun Zhangjian and Jun Xuehuang also rose to offer a toast.
Only one figure remained seated, neither standing nor intending to return the toast.
It was Jun Wanjie!
At this moment, Jun Wanjie's expression was cold. Deep in his pitch-black eyes, it seemed as though tribulation lightning was intertwining.
A trace of gravity appeared in his eyes.
He had witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's battle with Ye Xingyun from start to finish.
To be honest, Jun Xiaoyao's strength had far exceeded his expectations.
At such a young age, he already possessed the combat power of a top genius. In a few more years, wouldn't he become unstoppable?
Jun Xiaoyao noticed Jun Wanjie as well.
"So that is the Fifth Sequence, Jun Wanjie?"
"Born into a collateral branch and subjected to countless cold stares, he later accidentally obtained a Supreme Law, the Crossing Tribulation Heavenly Art, awakened the Tribulation Lightning Battle Physique, rose powerfully, and became the Fifth Sequence."
"Why does this script feel so familiar?"
Jun Xiaoyao muttered inwardly.
Wasn't this the cliché of finding a supreme cultivation technique and having a loser rise to prominence?
It was even more worn-out than Xiao Chen's old-man-in-a-ring template.
Still, Jun Xiaoyao did not pay much attention to him. As long as Jun Wanjie did not provoke him, he would not take the initiative to target him.
"Brother Xiaoyao, you looked so handsome when you made your move just now."
Jiang Luoli stared at Jun Xiaoyao with blazing eyes, liking him more the longer she looked.
"It was all right." Jun Xiaoyao sipped his tea.
He had no interest in little girls like her.
After all, he was not a copper-refining warlock.
And Jiang Luoli was far too short. If he really entered into a marriage alliance with her—
He would probably go straight to the stomach in one step.
Not to mention that he possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and the power of his Kidney Divine Repository was especially formidable...
Jiang Rou smiled from the side. "Has the little girl's heart been moved? Shall we settle it now?"
Jiang Luoli's pretty face flushed slightly at those words. Twisting her jade-like fingers together, she said somewhat shyly, "Mother..."
"Pfft... cough, cough..."
Jun Xiaoyao nearly sprayed out a mouthful of tea.
But for the sake of his image, he still swallowed it and coughed dryly twice.
"Xiaoyao, what is wrong? Your mother simply thinks Luoli is very good," Jiang Rou said.
"Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger, Luoli is one-five..." Jun Xiaoyao sighed softly.
"What? Brother Xiaoyao, you actually said I'm short!"
Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes widened round as she raised her snow-white neck and looked up at Jun Xiaoyao.
She was only twelve years old, two years older than Jun Xiaoyao, yet she only reached his chest in height.
It was simply the cutest height difference.
"Am I wrong?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Luoli ground her crystalline little canine teeth and puffed out her fragrant cheeks. Her pitch-black eyes rolled once, revealing a touch of slyness.
Then she directly opened her cherry-red lips and bit toward Jun Xiaoyao's arm.
She wanted to leave a mark on Jun Xiaoyao.
A mark belonging solely to Jiang Luoli.
That way, Jun Xiaoyao would not ignore or forget her.
Then, after taking one bite...
"Ah, it hurts!"
Jiang Luoli cried out in pain. One of her little canine teeth had been jarred loose. Covering her mouth, she had tears swirling in her eyes from the pain.
"You know I have the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, yet you still bit me. Are you a dog?" Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
He possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. His fleshly body was comparable to a divine weapon; even at his current stage, he could withstand attacks with his bare hands and even shatter weapons of princes and marquises.
How could Jiang Luoli possibly leave a bite mark on him?
With a casual motion, Jun Xiaoyao caught Jiang Luoli by the waist, then slapped her delicate buttocks.
To deal with such a naughty little girl, he had to beat her into submission.
Smack!
A crisp sound rang out.
Jiang Luoli froze, staring wide-eyed in disbelief with her watery eyes.
Jiang Shengyi's expression froze as well.
Jiang Rou wore an expression of pride, as though to say, just as expected of my son.
Everyone from the various factions in the hall awkwardly looked away.
Fortunately, Ye Xingyun had already been carried away unconscious. Otherwise, seeing his goddess getting her butt slapped by Jun Xiaoyao would have surely enraged him until one Buddha emerged into the world and a second Buddha ascended to heaven.
