Bai Zhou was completely dumbfounded by what his eldest uncle had said.
He had been training the dog just then.
Then, before he could even react, he had been dragged out?
And he had even heard his eldest uncle scolding him. What was going on?
Looking up at Bai Zhenbei's furious face, Bai Zhou could not help but curl his lips and say:
"Wait, Eldest Uncle... you are not still trying to steal my equipment, are you?"
"Equipment?" Bai Zhenbei froze slightly upon hearing that. The S-Class equipment from earlier appeared in his mind, and he nearly revealed that besotted expression again.
But he quickly shook his head and set Bai Zhou down.
"Stand properly."
Then, with a serious gaze, he pointed toward the side hall and said in a deep voice:
"Your aunt told me that you signed a Life-and-Death Contract with that Divine Weapon Maiden?"
"Yes." Bai Zhou nodded without hesitation.
Bai Zhenbei was so enraged that he nearly exploded on the spot. Grabbing Bai Zhou by the shoulders, he exclaimed dramatically:
"Did you forget that you still have a..."
The words reached his lips, and Bai Zhenbei's mouth twitched slightly. In the end, he did not say them.
But he immediately asked:
"Her grade is E-Class?"
"E-Class?" Bai Zhou was slightly stunned by those words.
Didn't I already tell Dad about Lin Wei?
But when he turned to look, he found that Bai Zhennan, Shen Yun, and Chen Juan were all avoiding his gaze.
That expression told Bai Zhou everything.
A helpless smile appeared on his face as he nodded at Bai Zhenbei.
"That's right. She's E-Class."
"And you still say you are not seeking death?!" Bai Zhenbei could no longer hold back his furious voice!
He stood before Bai Zhou, his voice filled with disappointment, heartache, worry, and urgency.
Every word crashed down on Bai Zhou like a storm.
Yet Bai Zhenbei received only Bai Zhou's helplessness in response.
At that moment, Bai Zhou understood.
His father had previously said that his eldest uncle and grandfather would definitely be angry if they learned of this.
And now, it had indeed come true.
But there was only one way to make his eldest uncle stop talking and accept it.
That was to make his eldest uncle completely convinced.
After all, words alone proved nothing. He had to let his eldest uncle experience it firsthand.
So Bai Zhou ignored Bai Zhenbei's earnest lecture and said directly:
"Eldest Uncle, let's have a fight!"
"You..." Bai Zhenbei had still been lecturing Bai Zhou when he suddenly heard those words.
"What did you say?"
Bai Zhou took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Bai Zhenbei.
He even waved toward the side hall.
Lin Wei immediately understood. She ran out of the side hall and cautiously slipped behind Bai Zhou.
She faced Bai Zhenbei together with Bai Zhou.
Then Bai Zhou spoke again, solemnly:
"Eldest Uncle, explanations are too much of a waste of time, so let's just fight."
Seeing Bai Zhou's determined gaze, Bai Zhenbei's expression turned strange.
"Wait, you... you and this E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden want to challenge me? Do you have a fever?"
"What?" Bai Zhou did not answer Bai Zhenbei's question and instead asked:
"You don't dare?"
"Good kid!" Bai Zhenbei really fell for that provocation!
"Fine! Your wings have grown now, huh?"
"I'll teach you a proper lesson today!"
As he spoke, Bai Zhenbei rolled up his sleeves.
Then he added:
"And don't say your eldest uncle is bullying you. Your aunt won't need to join this fight."
"Besides, I'll seal my strength down to just one-tenth of its original level."
"If you and your Divine Weapon Maiden can last ten minutes against one-tenth of my strength, or force me to use more than one-tenth, you win. How about it?"
Bai Zhenbei spoke as if it were the easiest thing in the world.
Bai Zhou asked, "Do we need to issue a challenge?"
If they issued a challenge, World Origin Power would form a barrier to protect both combatants and everyone outside the battle.
But Bai Zhennan naturally waved his hand and said:
"No need!"
"Your eldest uncle isn't really going to hurt you..."
But before he could finish, Bai Zhennan noticed that something was off about Bai Zhou's gaze.
"You don't actually think you can hurt me, do you?"
"Heh!" Bai Zhenbei chuckled directly.
"Kid, even if your Spirit Master level is the same as mine now, your Divine Weapon Maiden is only E-Class. Dreaming of hurting me would be pure delusion!"
"If you hurt me, that counts as your win. All right, stop talking and begin!"
"Fine!" Bai Zhou's lips curved upward slightly. "Eldest Uncle, you said it!"
With a hum, Lin Wei behind him transformed into specks of starlight.
A gleaming long spear appeared tightly clenched in Bai Zhou's hand.
At the same time, Bai Zhou's aura rapidly rose.
Bai Zhenbei did not care about any of this. Instead, he stretched his neck and muttered:
"Today, your eldest uncle will show you what absolute strength means!"
"Hah!" But at that moment, Bai Zhennan heard a thunderous shout!
Bai Zhou actually lunged straight at him!
Bai Zhenbei was somewhat surprised, thinking:
This kid actually dared to attack first?!
"Tch, I... wait, why can't I move?!"
Bai Zhenbei discovered a crucial problem. After that shout, his movements seemed to have been restricted to some extent.
However, his own strength was formidable. In only an instant, he recovered.
Yet delight appeared in his eyes. "Even I can be restricted for an instant. If it were someone at the same level, Xiao Zhou's skill would be enough to restrain them. Not bad, not bad. He has some ability."
At that moment, Bai Zhou's spear tip had already reached him.
With Bai Zhennan's speed, he could have easily dodged, but he wore a faint smile and remained standing in place without retreating at all.
"This kid can't really think he can..."
Bang!
Bai Zhenbei's body was instantly blasted away with a whoosh.
Boom! Crash—
A human-shaped hole immediately appeared in the wall of the nearby small hall.
"Holy shit!"
From within that human-shaped hole came Bai Zhenbei's incredulous roar.
Crash, crash.
The sound of rubble being pushed aside rang out.
A dusty and disheveled Bai Zhenbei crawled out of the hole.
Bai Zhenbei no longer looked as composed as he had moments ago.
The clothing over his chest had been torn apart, his hair was a complete mess, and it was full of dirt and stone fragments.
"Pah, pah!" After spitting out two mouthfuls of dust, Bai Zhenbei gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Good kid, you hit that damn hard?!"
"I'm definitely teaching you a lesson today!"
But just as he took a step forward, Chen Juan instantly appeared in front of him.
Then she said with a look of disgust:
"Who are you going to teach a lesson? You already lost!"
"What?" Bai Zhenbei froze upon hearing that. "How did I lose? I didn't..."
But the sensation from his chest made Bai Zhenbei's body tremble slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.
Sure enough, a drop of blood slowly flowed from where the clothing over his chest had been torn.
Though it was only a single drop of blood, it was enough to prove that Bai Zhou and Lin Wei had injured Bai Zhenbei, the fifth-ranked among the Ten Great Masters!
"How is this possible?!"
Bai Zhenbei's voice had clearly become much sharper. He was obviously shocked as well!
He knew exactly how powerful he was. Although he had sealed ninety percent of his strength, his base attributes had not changed at all.
Even if Bai Zhou were SSS-Class and held an SSS-Class Divine Weapon Maiden, it would not have been easy for him to directly injure Bai Zhenbei on the very day of his class awakening.
Not to mention that Bai Zhou was merely A-Class, while his Divine Weapon Maiden was a worthless E-Class!
Bai Zhenbei was absolutely right.
After signing a contract on the day of class awakening, no matter how high one's talent was, they would only be Level 1.
Wanting to injure a super powerhouse like Bai Zhenbei was simply a delusion.
But Bai Zhou and Lin Wei were already Level 3.
And before attacking, Bai Zhou had first activated Dragon Gall's skill, followed by Furious Stab.
His luck had not been great this time, and he had not triggered a Spiritual Resonance Strike.
However, Bai Zhou had used the Dragon Scale Armor he had just acquired and released the power of the dragon soul, increasing his damage by one hundred percent!
In other words, the damage from Bai Zhou's strike had already surpassed that of a Level 6 Spirit Master with the same aptitude and attributes!
Even so, all it did was scrape Bai Zhenbei's skin, but it was enough to prove how powerful Bai Zhou and Lin Wei were.
Wasn't Shen Qin, the one wearing the Dog Leash, staring blankly at the large hole in the wall?
