As Xu Qingjia spoke with Tang Wulin, many passengers in the carriage cast curious, admiring, and excited looks their way.
This young prodigy, whose fame was soaring, became the center of attention wherever he went.
Yet among those many gazes, one deeply concealed look, carrying icy malice, put Xu Qingjia on alert.

Bang!
A muffled crash rang out like an explosion of thunder!
Wrapped in a layer of concentrated, ink-black soul power, Xu Qingjia's fist slammed squarely into the man's chest, which had only just begun to swell and sprout blood-red
