"Tang Yi, you, a Big Waste, are really going to take the qualification exam?" Fan Chun asked again.
"Heh. If he dares to show up, I’ll make sure he understands that trash will always be trash. There’s no coming back from that," Su Jian added coldly.
"Heh." Tang Yi simply chuckled, saying nothing. He had no desire to get tangled up with these two. ’If we weren’t in Fengyue City, right at the entrance of the West Mansion Branch, I wouldn’t mind turning these two buffoons into Experience Value for myself.’
Tang Yi’s silence only egged them on. They pestered him relentlessly, calling him trash and saying they could finish him with a single punch. Blocking his path, it was clear they were just trying to provoke him.
The two girls standing by also felt they were going a bit too far, but neither said a word.
Wang Bi’Er knew Tang Yi could handle it. Zhu Yin, on the other hand, thought Tang Yi’s attitude was arrogant; ’it would do him some good to be taken down a peg.’
"I have to ask, do you two really have nothing better to do?" Tang Yi said, his brow furrowed as he spoke to Su Jian and Fan Chun in a low voice.
"Oh ho! He’s getting angry! And here I thought you wouldn’t get mad," Su Jian gloated.
"What, you want to fight us? I’m standing right here. Go on, hit me if you’ve got the guts," Fan Chun added arrogantly.
"Hmph!"
"Brother Yi, let me teach them a lesson for you!" Tang Piaomiao, unable to watch any longer, blurted out.
’How dare these two buffoons provoke Brother Yi? I could suppress them myself!’
But Tang Yi didn’t immediately agree. He just frowned and warned Su Jian and Fan Chun again, "If you continue to block my path, I won’t be so courteous."
It wasn’t that Tang Yi had a good temper. The two before him had mediocre Cultivation; they were practically cannon fodder. Beating them up would be nothing, and Tang Yi wasn’t afraid of them in the slightest. However, he was mindful that they were at the entrance of the West Mansion Branch. Starting a fight here would be a loss of face for the Branch Mansion, which was why he had restrained himself so far.
If this had been somewhere else, like a Demon Beast Land such as the Wind Moon Forest, these two would already be corpses.
"Go on, then! Let’s see it, Tang Yi! Show me what you mean by ’not so courteous’! And you, little brat, with that puny frame of yours, you want to teach *me* a lesson? Have you even been weaned yet?" Su Jian sneered.
Su Jian was an Eight-star Battle Master, actually a full Level lower than Tang Piaomiao. But he didn’t recognize Tang Piaomiao; otherwise, he never would have provoked him so brazenly.
"You’re courting death!" Tang Piaomiao couldn’t hold back any longer, his face flushing crimson with rage.
’In his entire life, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that!’
Since he was a child, Tang Piaomiao had been doted on and protected by the elders of the Tang Family. He had never been bullied, and as a result, he developed a proud arrogance, believing himself to be exceptional.
If Tang Yi hadn’t burst onto the scene, Tang Piaomiao wouldn’t have acknowledged anyone in the younger generation as his superior, let alone endured such insults.
He was only holding back today because Tang Yi was present; he didn’t want to cause any trouble. Otherwise, he would have struck the very moment Su Jian blocked their path!
"Sigh. Some people are just shameless, always looking for a death wish." Tang Yi shook his head slightly and said to Tang Piaomiao, "Go on. We’re at the West Mansion’s entrance, so go easy on them."
Tang Yi could See Through the Levels of Su Jian and Fan Chun at a glance with his Celestial Eye Technique.
Su Jian was an Eight-star Battle Master, and Fan Chun was a Seven-star Battle Master. They were no match for Tang Piaomiao at all, yet they dared to speak so insolently and pester them without end. ’They’re truly courting death.’
With Tang Yi’s permission, Tang Piaomiao nodded happily. "Alright!"
"’Go easy on them?’ That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! HAHAHAHAHA!" Hearing the exchange, Su Jian clutched his stomach, roaring with laughter.
"A Big Waste and an unweaned brat want to take us on? Go ahead! I’m standing right here," Fan Chun also laughed.
The two of them were practically begging for a beating.
"Hmph!"
But Tang Piaomiao wasted no more words, letting his actions speak for themselves.
"Stone-Breaking Fist!"
He threw a punch with earth-shattering force.
Although Su Jian and Fan Chun were mocking them, they weren’t complete fools. Disciples from Noble Families always had some degree of strength, and they didn’t want to be caught off guard by a supposed weakling. So, even as they jeered, they remained wary of Tang Yi and Tang Piaomiao.
The moment Tang Piaomiao moved, they reacted, immediately dropping their smiles and raising their arms to Resist.
But Su Jian was an Eight-star Battle Master and Fan Chun was a Seven-star Battle Master. How could the two of them possibly be a match for Tang Piaomiao, a Nine-star Martial Master?
Moreover, Tang Piaomiao was a young prodigy specially groomed by the Tang Family, given access to the very best resources. A One-Star gap in rank was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!
Tang Piaomiao’s fist was a blur, rocketing toward the two of them.
THUD! THUD!
"Argh!"
"Agh!"
Su Jian and Fan Chun attempted to Resist, but Tang Piaomiao’s fist was like a great mountain crashing into them.
The immense Power was simply impossible to withstand.
This was an absolute suppression of strength!
With two muffled grunts, the bodies of Su Jian and Fan Chun were sent flying backward uncontrollably.
"Im... pos... sible!"
Su Jian scrambled up from the ground, clutching his mouth and nose, his words coming out in a stutter.
The punch had grazed the bridge of his nose, which was now gushing blood.
"How can a little runt like him have so much Power?"
Fan Chun also rose from the ground, his gaze filled with shock. He couldn’t comprehend how Tang Piaomiao could be so formidable.
Now, after that single blow, the way they looked at Tang Piaomiao had completely changed. They no longer dared to underestimate him.
Zhu Yin’s mouth was agape, utterly astonished by Tang Piaomiao’s strength. ’How old is that kid?’ she wondered.
’To be able to hand Su Jian and Fan Chun such a defeat at his age... his future accomplishments will be absolutely extraordinary!’
On the other hand, Wang Bi’Er was completely calm. She had known all along that provoking Tang Yi would lead to such an outcome for Su Jian and his friend. The only surprise was that the one who struck wasn’t Tang Yi, but the other young boy.
"Who are you!" Su Jian demanded, staring at Tang Piaomiao.
"I am who I have always been: Tang Piaomiao, Third Young Master of the Tang Family," Tang Piaomiao declared proudly.
"Third Young Master Tang Piaomiao?" Su Jian repeated numbly, committing the name to memory so he could investigate his background later.
Fan Chun’s eyes swept viciously over Tang Yi and Tang Piaomiao. If looks could kill, the two of them would have died a thousand deaths under his glare.
Just then, Tang Yi spoke calmly.
"Consider this a lesson. The next time you provoke us, it won’t be as simple as a single punch, and it won’t just be Piaomiao who strikes."
"Hmph!"
"If Brother Yi hadn’t held me back, I’d have crippled you both today!" Tang Piaomiao huffed, lifting his chin arrogantly.
"Let’s go," Tang Yi said, then led Tang Piaomiao away. This time, no one dared to block their path.
"Tang Yi, you Big Waste! It wasn’t even you who fought, what do you have to be arrogant about?" Su Jian muttered indignantly at their retreating backs.
"Tang Yi! Tang Piaomiao! Just you two wait! You’re taking the qualification exam tomorrow, aren’t you? I’ll have my older brother get revenge for me!" Fan Chun threatened.
