Chapter 21: I’ll Give You 3 Moves

A daily roar: Recommendation tickets~~~ Member clicks~~ Evaluation tickets~~~

These scars and bloodstains were naturally left behind from the battle with the Flower-Backed Spider. He hadn’t had time to treat them then, and returning to Wumei Town to find a doctor for that little boy had naturally delayed things further. Afterward, Yangx Kai just went to sleep.

He slept straight through until this morning. Seeing that the little boy had also woken up, Yangx Kai left with peace of mind. He hurried back to the Sect. From a distance, he saw a crowd gathered around his wooden hut. Some people were even holding torches. Looking at their Momentum, they were about to burn down his house. How could Yangx Kai allow this? He naturally walked over to question them, never expecting that it was Su Mu looking to cause trouble for him.

When the main target appeared, Su Mu, who had failed to commit arson, didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty. Instead, he grew even more excited. Pointing at Yangx Kai, he said, "Yangx Kai, don’t say this Young Master isn’t giving you a chance. As long as you can..."

"Wait a moment," Yangx Kai raised his hand to signal, then calmly walked into the house.

"Hey..." Su Mu swallowed the second half of his sentence. He felt as though he had swallowed a Cang fly, and specifically the kind of Cang fly that had just taken off from a fresh pile of dung. Don’t even mention how uncomfortable it was.

"Young Master Su, this guy isn’t giving you any face at all," one of his subordinates spoke up indignantly on Su Mu’s behalf.

"HMPH!" Su Mu sneered. "Beat him ruthlessly later. I’ve heard this punk never admits defeat, so don’t show any mercy when you strike. Today, we absolutely must let him know the consequences of offending this Young Master."

"Yes."

Yangx Kai walked into the house and took the small bundle off his shoulder. This bundle of herbs was his harvest from the past three days. If he didn’t put it down first, Yangx Kai wouldn’t feel completely at ease.

After stowing the bundle safely, Yangx Kai finally walked back out. Looking at Su Mu with a serious expression, he asked, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Su Mu glared at him hatefully. His face was full of deep resentment, harboring the urge to vomit blood. He had prepared his lines for quite a while just now, only to be interrupted by Yangx Kai before he could say them. Seeing him ask again at this moment, he hurriedly and impatiently shouted out with majestic awe, "Yangx Kai, don’t say this Young Master isn’t giving you a chance! As long as you kneel before all the senior and junior brothers today, kowtow a few times, and call me Grandpa a few times, I will spare your life! Otherwise... HMPH HMPH HMPH..."

Those few snorts were deeply profound, carrying a spontaneous, threatening vibe. Having said this, Su Mu’s face displayed a delighted expression of having avenged a deep grievance, as if he had truly already done something to Yangx Kai.

Yangx Kai slowly shook his head, looking at Su Mu with bitter heartbreak.

"What is it?" Su Mu felt a momentary flash of guilt. It was mostly because Yangx Kai was too calm and composed, making him feel a bit uncertain inside. After all, he had suffered a loss at Yangx Kai’s hands in Wumei Town, leaving a bit of a shadow on his mind.

"So unfilial!" Yangx Kai sighed.

The onlookers were stunned, and Su Mu was stunned. They wondered why this was considered unfilial.

"What do you mean?" Su Mu asked fiercely.

"You don’t understand? Come, let me teach you!" Yangx Kai put on the appearance of a kind-hearted person, patiently guiding him, "Let me ask you, do you have elders in Lingxiao Pavilion?"

"At least you have some good eyes!" Su Mu’s tail was about to point to the heavens.

Yangx Kai smiled. He thought, "Since you come here with such great fanfare to exact revenge on me, you naturally have someone to rely on. If you don’t have anyone backing you from above, how would you dare to be so presumptuous as to try and burn down my house?"

"This person doesn’t hold a small position of authority in the Sect, right?" Yangx Kai asked again.

"The position of an Elder!" Su Mu snorted. "I also have a sister who is a Core Disciple! I can crush you to death by casually extending a single finger!"

Yangx Kai had a sudden realization, having gained some understanding of Su Mu’s background. Only then did he pat him on the shoulder and say, "That’s exactly it. You are far too unfilial!"

"What do you mean, ’that’s exactly it’?" Su Mu was furious. After being led in circles by Yangx Kai until he was dizzy and his eyes blurred, he still didn’t know what the other party was trying to say.

"You can’t even figure out such a simple matter? How exactly did your brain grow?" Yangx Kai frowned, looking at Su Mu with extreme pity, and patiently explained, "In terms of seniority, that sister of yours should be my senior sister. If I really call you that title you requested, then what would your sister call you? And what should that Elder call you? Unfilial, truly unfilial! If I were that Elder, I would lock you in the Trapped Dragon Ravine today and make it so you could never even dream of coming out for the rest of your life."

Su Mu’s body trembled, his face turning Cang and pale. The Trapped Dragon Ravine was the most terrifying place in Lingxiao Pavilion. Lingxiao Pavilion had stretched on for hundreds of years with dozens of generations of Disciples. There were always some Disciples who, after leaving the Sect, would commit all kinds of evil deeds and heinous crimes. Once these unforgivable villains were caught by the Sect, their Cultivation would be crippled, and they would be thrown into the Trapped Dragon Ravine. Essentially, entering that place was equal to death.

The three words, Trapped Dragon Ravine, were famous and notorious within a radius of several thousand miles. It wasn’t that Su Mu was afraid of Yangx Kai, but rather that he instinctively felt some dread upon hearing these three words.

Sensing that Su Mu’s state was off, one of the people who had followed him over quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Su, this punk has a sharp Yar and a glib tongue. Don’t engage in a battle of words with him. We came here today to vent your anger for you."

"Yeah." Su Mu recovered his wits, flying into a rage out of humiliation as he said, "Yangx Kai, stop sprouting nonsense. If you don’t kneel and apologize today, this Young Master will definitely make you regret being born into this world."

A cold light flashed in Yangx Kai’s eyes. He clenched his fists and said, "Is Junior Brother Su trying to exchange blows with me?"

Su Mu said disdainfully, "I would like to, but you’re too disappointing and don’t have the qualifications yet! This Young Master is in the Ninth Level of Body Tempering Realm!"

Hearing him say this, Yangx Kai immediately understood. The Sect stipulated that when Disciples sparred and challenged each other, the difference in their strength could not exceed three levels. Su Mu indeed could not challenge Yangx Kai; the gap between the two was simply too large. This was also the reason why he had brought people with him. These people weren’t just here to keep up appearances.

Su Mu looked at Yangx Kai with a face full of contempt. With a sneer playing at the corners of his mouth, he spoke without even turning his head, "Everyone, it’s said that this Senior Brother Yangx has already cultivated to the Third Level of Body Tempering Realm. Which brother will go up and experience his brilliant moves?"

"The Third Level of Body Tempering Realm, what a high Realm!" The group of people burst into boisterous laughter. Of everyone present, who hadn’t joined the Sect later than Yangx Kai, yet who among them didn’t have a higher Realm than him?

"I’ll do it, Young Master Su. My strength is the lowest among the brothers, just a mere Fifth Level of Body Tempering Realm. I should be able to play with Senior Brother Yangx for a while!" One of them stepped through the crowd and walked forward, looking at Yangx Kai with disdain.

Yangx Kai looked back at him and was also smiling, amused that their intelligence was already outdated. Five days ago, he had indeed been at the Third Level of Body Tempering Realm, but today was different from the past. However, Yangx Kai naturally wouldn’t advertise this kind of thing. Advancing by a Second-Layer Realm within five days was a somewhat bizarre speed.

The person Su Mu had brought along spoke up, "Senior Brother Yangx, my name is Zhao Hu. You’d best remember who beat you today!"

"I’ve memorized it," Yangx Kai said with a serious expression.

Zhao Hu seemed to be intentionally boosting Su Mu’s prestige. He stood there brazenly and hooked his pinky finger at Yangx Kai. "Senior Brother Yangx, don’t say that this junior brother isn’t giving you face. I will let you have three free moves. If you can make me move my feet even slightly, it will count as your win. If you can’t, then don’t blame this junior brother for showing no mercy."

This rampant provocation contained Chi Guoguo blatant contempt, making Su Mu dizzy with delight. He cried out in satisfaction in his heart, secretly thinking, "This kid Zhao Hu is truly capable. He knows exactly how to humiliate someone. He’s doing a pretty good job."

Although the Third Level of Body Tempering and the Fifth Level of Body Tempering were only separated by two levels, there was a watershed-like existence between these two levels. The strength that could be exerted from them simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.
