Lin Yun watched his brother with dark lines on his face. After training with Wenren Yu, Lin Xiao finally grasped the essence of Mountain Punch and managed to hone his skill so that even a single punch could create a big hole on the tree.
If the punch hit a person… there was no doubt that their flesh would be bruised so badly that they might need a long time to recover.
"You…"
Su Han was struggling to stand up. His arm had turned completely red thanks to the punch that Lin Xiao delivered. There was disbelief in his eyes as he looked in Lin Xiao's direction. It was supposed to be impossible for Lin Xiao to have such progress in Mountain Punch after all this time.
They all learned the skill after they reached body training rank 4. Any lower than that, the elders would not allow them to see the skill at all. Because of that, Lin Xiao had only touched Mountain Punch skill for several months or so since it was only last year that Lin Xiao managed to reach body training rank 4.
In the past, Lin Xiao didn't show any remarkable progress in his skill.
Now, Lin Xiao was completely different.
How could he believed that Lin Xiao could progress so quickly like that?
Su Han stood up while holding the pain on his arm. He looked at Lin Xiao as if he was seeing a freak. "That's impossible! You shouldn't have been able to wield that much power! You're only body training rank 5!"
"Yes, I'm still body training rank 5," Lin Xiao admitted in light tone. He still didn't manage to advance again even after training for some time. "However, you still lose to body training rank 5 even though you're body training rank 7, Su Han."
Su Han's face turned dark. He gathered his Qi and looked at Lin Xiao's direction. "The fight is not over!"
Swish!
Utilizing what was left inside him, Su Han charged over. Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows and glanced over to the disciples from the corner of his eyes. He could see that they didn't even spare a glance at Su Han's action.
Clearly, it was not that uncommon for them.
Lightly sidestepping to the side, Lin Xiao raised his hand and grabbed Su Han's fist. That movement locked their motion as Lin Xiao punched forwards. This time, there was no skill involved.
Bang!
Su Han was pushed to the back once more as Lin Xiao looked from a distance. Su Han had just advanced to rank 7, which meant that his stage was not stable yet. At this point of time, he was not much different from when he was still body training rank 6.
Lin Xiao could defeat him just fine even without resorting to petty tricks.
"He's not bad."
Without the villagers aware of, the three representatives were watching their performance from a distance. They didn't have much interest in the village, but their sects wanted to get as much powerful cultivators as possible. Now that things have developed this way, they knew that they have to find some good ones to show to their sects.
Liu Gang was watching while sitting near the window. He was bored with the children's performance. However, the skill that Lin Xiao used just now showed that the young brat had already managed to understand more of Mountain Punch.
For a backwater village who had never seen the real skill book, it was quite an amazing feat.
"Are you sure he's not just lucky?" the woman, the representative from Wang Luo Sect, asked in lazy tone.
Liu Gang's eyes narrowed. Mountain Punch skill was quite widespread, so it was not weird for many people to be able to use it. However, most of the time, they wouldn't be able to use the skill properly, much less showing so much power like what Lin Xiao did.
But if one could do it even under these circumstances, it meant that they were either smart enough or they were simply lucky. The first instance was extremely rare, so they didn't usually think that way.
"Probably lucky."
The woman nodded and walked to the edge of the window. Her eyes were looking towards Lin Xiao with interest. "Well, that young brat is quite impulsive, but it would surely be interesting with him around."
"He's too arrogant."
"That's how youngsters are. When they realized that they're nothing more than a frog inside a well, I'm sure that they'll tone down a bit." The woman lightly stretched her body and then leaned to the wall. Her eyelids fluttered lazily, uncaring that her breathtaking figure could easily entrance someone who passed by.
"Most new disciples are like that. If he enters a sect, I'm sure that he'll change from time to time."
Liu Gang snorted.
The representative from Yue Da Sect merely stayed silent. He had no intention to participate in the conversation in the slightest bit.
"Anyway, our real intention to come here is not to see these youngsters," the woman turned her body around and looked Liu Gang. "When are we going to depart?"
"Soon."
"How soon is that soon?"
"When they no longer watch over us."
The woman snorted. "We're already at Foundation Establishment, who do you think can watch our movements if we don't wish them to know?"
Liu Gang raised his head lightly then lowered his gaze. From the moment he stepped into this village, he had been feeling that strange sensation. It was as if they were watched by someone.
Yet, he didn't know who it might be.
Probably, he was just acting too sensitive. There shouldn't be any way that there could be a hidden expert in this unremarkable village.
