Wang Guangyi Offered an Apology and Compensation of His Own Free Will

If Du Lian could think of it, Xiao Fan naturally could too!

He gave up the chase and decided to hit him one last time to see if it worked!

But unfortunately, his opponent dodged the Fire Dragon Token!

Watching Du Lian rapidly disappear over the horizon, Xiao Fan's face lost its calm, and he cursed, "Fuck!"

That was royal blood! Drinking it would have brought him closer to becoming a Lesser Grandmaster!

And that dagger-if he could get his hands on it, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!!

It pissed him off!

Xiao Fan cursed under his breath. "If you've got the guts, don't run out of the secret realm!"

"Once I break through to Lesser Grandmaster, I'll kill you!"

"Damn it, that weapon was so good!"

Xiao Fan was practically in tears. He really wanted that weapon!

Its penetrating power was enough to make even his Divine Ape Golden Body tremble, and it contained explosive elemental power, too!

Ah, forget it. If it's not in my fate, I can't force it.

Xiao Fan sighed, but he still couldn't help feeling angry. He rushed back toward the quenching pool, intending to kill a few foreign races to vent.

From a great distance, he saw a purple blade light nearly ten meters long dancing across the battlefield!

Xiao Fan grinned. Not bad, not bad! Xianhuo had successfully activated the Fire God Saber's second stage!

On the battlefield, Lin Xianhuo swung the Fire God Saber furiously, like a valkyrie.

Wang Qingtian's side had originally been at a disadvantage. Wang Qingtian himself had no combat ability, Li Kai and his two companions were weaker, and Wang Guangyi and the other three protectors were each basically fighting two opponents.

But after seeing Xiao Fan's combat power, they decided to hold their enemies off until the super genius returned, and then everything would be OK.

As it turned out, the super genius hadn't returned yet, but his wife had made a dazzling entrance.

In just three moves, a noble-blood foreigner died on the spot!

The other nine sensed danger and badly wanted to use their teleportation tokens to leave immediately. They knew they'd be in trouble once Xiao Fan returned!

But the foreign races were ruthless to their own. If they returned empty-handed from this secret realm battle, their fate would be miserable.

A royal-blood foreigner roared, "Find a way to kill those three pieces of trash! At least bring back three heads!"

They moved with extreme speed to surround and kill Li Kai's team!

A noble-blood foreigner thrust a blade attached to his body at Li Kai, with another behind him.

But then Xiao Fan arrived!

The Fire Dragon Token blasted out, instantly killing a noble-blood demon on the spot!

The others no longer dared hesitate and fled first. Even so, Lin Xianhuo managed to stop one royal-blood foreigner from escaping. Wang Guangyi was no pushover either; the four of them kept two noble-blood foreigners from getting away.

The final result:

The human side suffered no losses, only some injuries. On the foreign races' side, one royal-blood and four noble-blood foreigners died, while five escaped!

"Beautiful." Xiao Fan grinned at Lin Xianhuo.

Lin Xianhuo ran forward excitedly, jumped up, and gave Xiao Fan a huge bear hug.

"I've reached the second stage!" She waved her arms and legs in excitement.

Xiao Fan stroked her hair and said gently, "There's still a long road ahead."

"Hehe, but I'm a little closer to you now!" Lin Xianhuo said proudly.

"It's just a pity..." Lin Xianhuo sighed. "There are only three noble-bloods and one royal-blood. That probably isn't enough for you to advance, is it?"

Wang Qingtian, who was standing nearby, was already burning with jealousy at the sight of the two being so intimate. Lin Xianhuo's words made him even angrier. "We were the ones who stopped two of them!"

"Why should we give them to him!?"

As soon as he said that, the whole place fell silent. Not a sound could be heard, and there was even a hint of disgust in the looks directed at the Wang Family's young master.

Even Wang Qingtian's four protectors felt utterly ashamed. They wanted nothing more than to go over and cover their young master's mouth.

"Young master, he saved your life," Wang Guangyi couldn't help saying in a low voice.

But Wang Qingtian snorted. "He was arranged by the patriarch in the first place. Wasn't he supposed to save me!?"

Wang Guangyi's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly said, "Young master, Mr. Xiao might have nothing to do with the patriarch at all..."

Wang Qingtian flew into a rage. "How is that possible!?"

"That assassin just said he was sent by the patriarch!!"

Lin Xianhuo had always had a fiery temper, and she couldn't help cursing. "Can you shut your mouth, you useless dog!?"

"I feel like hitting someone. I've seen idiots before, but never one this stupid!"

"You even believe what an enemy says?"

"Go eat shit!"

Wang Qingtian's face turned alternately green and purple under her scolding. He wanted to retort, but Wang Guangyi pulled him back and sighed. "Young master, you need to calm down now."

"Come, come, take the young master away to calm down!"

He called the other three protectors over. They hurried forward and soothed Wang Qingtian as if they were comforting a baby who cried all the time.

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly at the sight. How was this an eighteen-year-old?

Wouldn't calling him eight be a compliment?

Just then, Wang Guangyi walked over to Xiao Fan, dropped to one knee on the spot, and excitedly performed the most solemn salute. Even his voice was trembling.

"I was so disrespectful to you before, Genius Xiao. My offense was truly grave. This is a small token of my sincerity. Please accept it!"

When making amends, the apology was secondary; the compensation was what mattered. In the world of adults, how could a simple "sorry" or "I apologize" make up for a wrong?

Wang Guangyi naturally understood this well. What he offered as compensation was actually a portion of fourth-tier royal-blood foreign-race essence blood!

He knew that Genius Xiao's greatest shortcoming at present was his realm. Combined with what Miss Lin had just said about there not being enough essence blood, he immediately understood!

A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face!

He wasn't a child. Why would he squabble with an eight-year-old idiot?

After putting away the essence blood, he smiled and asked, "What good martial arts does your Wang Family have?"

"I don't need many. Sixth- or seventh-tier ones will do. Four or five manuals are enough!"

Wang Guangyi's expression stiffened at once.

Xiao Fan immediately frowned. "Your Wang Family can't even produce that few martial arts?"

"It's... not that we can't, but most are our Wang Family's own closely guarded secrets and aren't taught to outsiders. There is one general-use art, though... Would you like to take a look?"

With that, Wang Guangyi took out a sixth-tier amplification-type martial art manual.

After taking it, Xiao Fan raised his brows, and delight instantly appeared on his face!

Vajra Five Viscera!

It was a martial art that strengthened the body's internal organs. It would complement Divine Meridians perfectly and make Elemental Overlap more stable. It was tremendously important to Xiao Fan!

Seeing Xiao Fan's expression soften, Wang Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief and said gravely, "Genius Xiao, this martial art is actually only an incomplete version. There's an upgraded version beyond it, but that is a secret our Wang Family never passes on."

"But you are an esteemed benefactor of our Wang Family. When the time comes, I'll certainly find a way to try to obtain it for you!"

"Our Wang Family won't treat its benefactors poorly!"

Xiao Fan nodded lightly. "All right, then let's leave it at that."

Vajra Five Viscera collected!

Task progress (5/30)!

Unfortunately, neither Divine Meridians nor Vajra Five Viscera had been cultivated to 25% yet. If he wanted to use them in this secret realm, he first had to kill someone important enough to earn a system achievement!

He could hardly wait to try out the power of Elemental Overlap!

At that moment, Wang Guangyi spoke again. "Once again, thank you for your forgiveness, Genius Xiao, and thank you for saving his life!"

Xiao Fan suddenly looked serious. "Actually, I had my own selfish reasons for saving him."

"Hm?" Wang Guangyi was surprised. Was there more to it?

"I hope he can grow stronger," Xiao Fan said calmly.

That left Wang Guangyi even more puzzled. My young master insulted you so badly, yet you still hope he can grow stronger?

Nearby, Li Kai and his two battered companions also looked confused.

Xiao Fan said calmly, "I don't care what kind of person Wang Qingtian is, because no matter what he's like, he could never pose a threat to me!"

"I just want to defeat the true Hegemon-King of Western Chu in a contest of strength!"

Lin Xianhuo remained calm at those words, but surging waves rose in Li Kai's heart. The look he gave Xiao Fan was no longer merely one of awe, but of worship!

He suddenly understood why the big shot had said, "No wonder you're all so weak," back then.

So that's how it is.

So this is how the strong think! It doesn't matter if their opponent is strong-they're afraid their opponent won't be strong enough!

That's fucking insane!

Wang Guangyi was even more struck with emotion.

This is the breadth of vision of the strong!

When will our young master become a little more mature?

"Actually, Genius Xiao, there's another question I'm curious about," Wang Guangyi said gravely.

"Go ahead."

"How were you able to detect that assassin's aura?"

A trace of recollection appeared in Xiao Fan's eyes, and he said with a sigh, "Practice makes perfect, that's all."
