Yao Chen sensed something was wrong the moment Xiao Ning made his move, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart. But before he could react, he felt the sky darken.
The little child he had disregarded was now like the sun in the sky, radiating a powerful heat that scorched Yao Lao's soul until it emitted wisps of smoke.
The domineering and unparalleled pure yang energy released boundless light and heat.
The giant elephant phantom's attack was like a pillar supporting the sky collapsing, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart.
A blinding light burst forth from the sky, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"No……"
Yao Chen only had time to let out a roar of unwilling anger before his voice gradually faded away in the light, finally falling completely silent.
When the blinding light dissipated, Yao Chen's soul had vanished from the sky, leaving only a cluster of eerie white flames standing in mid-air, radiating a terrifying aura.
Faced with this earth-shattering blow, Yao Chen, whose soul was weakened, had no chance to react at all and was killed on the spot, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating into the air.
In the blink of an eye, it was all over.
...
The Xiao family's backyard.
Just as Xiao Ning's momentum was at its peak, an old man suddenly raised his head and looked towards the back mountain, his heart filled with shock.
"Hiss, as expected of one of the eight ancient families, even in their current state of decline, they still have such a powerful expert in the shadows!"
"However, this person's aura is obscure, and I don't know his cultivation level, so I shouldn't approach him directly... Otherwise... I should report to the patriarch!"
"Indeed, I must report this to the patriarch!"
The old man muttered to himself.
...
"hiss…"
Xiao Yan stared dumbfounded at Xiao Ning beside him, feeling that the shock he had experienced in both his previous lives combined could not compare to the shock he felt today.
"Xiao Ning, no, Brother Ning, you don't have the eighth-level Dou Qi, right?"
"And Ning-ge, what kind of fighting technique is that? It's amazing!"
A moment later, he looked at Xiao Ning with a burning desire and asked.
Xiao Ning flipped his hand, and the pale white flame appeared in his palm. The flame swayed with the breeze, emitting a powerful energy fluctuation.
"Battle skills? No, I practice martial arts! My current strength is probably equivalent to the peak of the Battle Spirit realm!"
Xiao Ning casually replied, "I'll put away the Bone Spirit Cold Flame that Yao Chen left behind."
"What? It's martial arts? And at the peak of the Dou Ling realm?"
Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise. He didn't bother to ask what the flame in Xiao Ning's hand was, as his mind was completely absorbed by Xiao Ning's words.
Martial arts!
The childhood dream of so many Chinese men!
Under Xiao Yan's expectant gaze, Xiao Ning nodded and replied, "That's right, it is indeed Chinese martial arts, or more accurately, the martial way."
"Really? Is it some kind of peerless martial art like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Nine Yang Divine Skill, or the Yi Jin Jing?"
Xiao Yan asked excitedly.
"Peerless martial arts? It's nothing special, just average!"
Xiao Ning replied calmly.
Xiao Yan swallowed hard and asked hopefully, "Um... Brother Ning, could I ask you for a favor?"
"What's up?"
Xiao Ning turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and wondered if this kid had some unspeakable secret.
"Can I learn martial arts from you?" Xiao Yan asked hesitantly.
"Learn martial arts? No way!" Xiao Ning thought to himself, "Damn it, this kid really wants to learn martial arts."
He refused without even thinking.
The people in this world, although they also have black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin, are completely different from the yellow-skinned people of China.
They don't have a dantian (lower abdomen).
After Xiao Ning made contact with Xiao Yan, he scanned the area with his mental energy and discovered this!
Moreover, their meridian pathways are also different.
In general, they look exactly the same as the Chinese, but their internal structure is completely different.
Xiao Ning guessed that this might be due to the different nature of the world, resulting in some differences.
One can only marvel at the wonders of creation.
"No...no? Why?" Xiao Yan's face flushed red as he voiced his question.
Xiao Ning put his hands behind his back, recounted his previous findings, and sighed, "...Therefore, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but that I simply can't! I have no choice! Besides, isn't cultivating battle qi quite good too?"
