Deep down, Tan Tong did not quite believe Huang Xiao's injuries had healed. After all, Bai Tianqi's injuries had been truly severe, and even Commander Lu had been puzzled when he examined him afterward. They could more or less gauge Huang Xiao's cultivation, after all. Given his strength, he might have injured Bai Tianqi with some Forbidden Technique or Forbidden Art, but severely wounding him should have been absolutely impossible.
