Born Evil, You Little Brat? I'll Fight You Myself!

Tai Tan lowered his head and stared at the tiny head peeking out from behind the earthen wall. The flesh on his face twitched.

The earthen wall and curtain of water were still there.

Xuanwu Guga tilted its head and met Tai Tan's gaze for a second.

Tai Tan could no longer save face. His expression turned livid, then purple-red, and veins bulged across his forehead.

His fists were like two small mountains. His skin shifted from dark gold to scarlet, and an iron-gray sheen covered his body. The flagstones shattered beneath his feet, sending fragments flying in every direction.

Tai Tan clenched his right fist, scarlet Soul Power surging over it. Every flagstone in the Training Ground cracked apart, and the pressure from his fist shook the rubble into the air.

Starry Guga stood beside Lin Yuan, pale green light seeping into the ground
