Huh?
Everyone turned at the sound. They saw Xiao Wan standing right where she was, completely unharmed, clutching her little hand and crying that it hurt. Her chubby, pink face was filled with grievance.
The arena stage beneath her feet had long since turned to dust.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
"This..."
Below the stage, Chen Ge’s heart pounded.
Just now, Mu Hong had used his full strength.
Even standing below, he could feel the terrifying power in Mu Hong’s fist—it was enough to kill him outright.
And yet, Xiao Wan was completely fine?
Mu Hong said dazedly, "What’s going on? Could this little girl’s body be made of steel?"
There were few people present who could block a full-powered strike from him.
But this little girl had done it.
Ye Chuan said anxiously, "Brother Mu, they sent this little girl up to humiliate you! Don’t show any mercy."
However, Mu Hong ignored him.
’I get it. This little girl must have some kind of Restriction placed on her. That’s why she could block my punch. I just need to break through this Restriction.’
Mu Hong said coldly, "Hmph. Let’s see how many of my punches that Restriction on you can withstand."
He wouldn’t believe it even if you killed him—that Xiao Wan’s physical body could be this strong.
"You big meanie, you hurt me! I’m gonna fight you for real!"
Puffing her cheeks in anger, Xiao Wan rushed toward Mu Hong and lightly slapped her small hand against his incoming fist.
BANG!
The ferocious power directly shattered the stage.
This scene stunned everyone.
If Xiao Wan had a Restriction on her, it could at most strengthen her body and ensure others couldn’t kill her.
But where did Xiao Wan get such immense strength?
The mere Palm Wind from her strike had cracked the stage.
"Hey, whose kid is that little girl? How can she be so terrifying?"
"No idea!"
"Could it be that Mu Hong is going easy on her because she’s a girl and not using his full strength?"
"That’s possible!"
Watching the two on stage continuously exchange blows, Chen Ge’s pupils shrank.
He had never expected Xiao Wan to be so strong, withstanding more than ten of Mu Hong’s attacks head-on.
This was an opponent that even he couldn’t defeat.
"Owowow..."
Xiao Wan cried in pain, "You big meanie, stop it! I don’t want to fight you anymore."
"You..."
Mu Hong’s face was filled with fury.
He couldn’t believe he couldn’t even defeat a child.
Liu Wuxie said in shock, "As expected of his family. Even a little girl is such a monster."
"Whose family?"
Shi Lei asked curiously.
Liu Wuxie shook his head. "I know you want to get on his good side, but knowing his identity will do you no good. Give up."
"But who is he?"
Shi Lei grew even more curious.
Xiao Wan walked off the stage.
Xiao Dong asked with concern, "Sister, did that guy hurt you? Hmph, I’ll go up there and get revenge for you."
"Waaaah, I didn’t win! I don’t get any candied hawthorns!"
Xiao Wan cried sorrowfully.
Chen Ge quickly took out some candied hawthorns. "Here, have some. Eat as many as you want. I’ll provide you with candied hawthorns for the rest of your life."
"Really?"
Xiao Wan’s eyes lit up.
Just then, Xiao Dong climbed onto the stage and said, "Hey! You hurt my sister! Apologize to her right now!"
"Who are you?"
Mu Hong asked, completely baffled.
The surrounding crowd was just as baffled.
An eight-year-old kid had just left, and now another eight-year-old boy had run up, demanding an apology from Mu Hong.
What in the world was going on?
Mu Hong’s face flushed red as he said, "Hmph! You want me to apologize? Not unless you take my head off my shoulders."
He had already lost enough face by failing to kill Xiao Wan.
And now he was supposed to apologize?
How could he ever show his face again if he did?
Xiao Dong said with puffed cheeks, "If you don’t apologize, I’ll beat you to a pulp!"
"You’re full of shit!"
Veins bulged on Mu Hong’s forehead as he angrily threw a punch at Xiao Dong.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Xiao Dong and Mu Hong exchanged dozens of blows before Xiao Dong gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.
"You meanie, are your hands made of iron?"
Xiao Dong rubbed his right hand.
Though he didn’t cry out, he had to admit that Mu Hong was indeed very strong and had hurt him.
"Made of iron?"
The corner of Mu Hong’s mouth twitched violently.
Xiao Dong said, "Yeah! If your fists weren’t made of iron, why would they hurt so much when you hit someone? They’re even harder than a Tier Four Demon Beast’s."
"What? This kid has fought a Tier Four Demon Beast?"
"Heavens, how old is he?!"
"To dare fight a Tier Four Demon Beast at such a young age... when he grows up, he’ll probably be able to poke a hole in the sky!"
Everyone in the surrounding crowd was completely shocked.
Even they weren’t necessarily confident they could defeat a Tier Four Demon Beast.
Xiao Dong walked off the stage and said shamefully, "I’m sorry, sister. Your brother is useless. I’m trash. I couldn’t beat that meanie."
"Trash..."
Everyone’s mouths twitched violently.
Especially Chen Ge.
’If Xiao Dong is trash, then what am I?’
’Worse than trash.’
Xiao Lang glanced at Mu Hong and asked, "Are his fists really that hard?"
"They are!"
Xiao Dong held out his right hand. "Look, he even made my hand red."
Xiao Lang said coldly, "Hmph, I refuse to believe his fists are that hard. Just you wait. I’ll go up and test him myself."
"Brother Lang, you can’t go! You’ll kill him!"
"Let me go instead. I’m weaker, so I know how to hold back."
"You, weak? Heh, last time you went to the mountains, you killed a Tier Four Demon Tiger with a single punch. You call that weak?"
"Let me go!"
"No, you can’t go! Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to go and avenge Xiao Dong and Xiao Wan."
This scene left the crowd utterly dumbfounded once again.
Mu Hong was the third of the Celestial Gate Five Tigers, a figure who had suppressed the entire Northern Profound Domain to the point where they couldn’t even raise their heads.
And yet, this group of people was actually fighting over who got to fight Mu Hong.
What was going on?
Could it be that this entire group was made up of prodigies?
On the stage, the corners of Mu Hong’s mouth twitched fiercely, his face contorting.
He was a renowned genius from the Western Profound Domain, the third of the Celestial Gate Five Tigers! When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Rock, paper, scissors... Hahaha, I won!"
Xiao Lin shouted, his face full of excitement.
Xiao Lang said coolly, "Then let Xiao Lin go. Remember, you have to beat that guy to a pulp."
"You got it!"
Xiao Lin walked onto the stage confidently. "This time, I’ll be your opponent. Make your move!"
"Look, another one’s going up."
"Is this a gauntlet match?"
"This one looks a bit older, but he’s definitely no older than fifteen."
"Don’t tell me he’s another top-tier genius?"
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
Xiao Dong and Xiao Wan had already been shocking enough. Now, another one had stepped forward, much younger than Mu Hong.
Mu Hong was already twenty years old.
The crowd stared intently at Xiao Lin, anticipating his performance.
"Damn it..."
Mu Hong glared furiously at Xiao Lin.
Although he was furious, he didn’t dare to be the least bit careless. He didn’t even dare to attack first.
’Those eight-year-old kids were so strong.’
’This guy in front of me is much older than them, and he’s at the Mid Stage Martial Artist Realm. He couldn’t possibly be even more terrifying, could he?’
"Not making a move? Then I’ll go first."
Xiao Lin channeled his power and viciously slapped his palm toward Mu Hong’s left cheek.
