Chapter 11: A Test of Strength

At the instant Xu Feng spoke these words, some of the servants barely suppressed their laughter. Having been bullied by Skinny Monkey for a long time, they felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing him being called an idiot. However, when did this kid, Xu Feng, become so sharp-tongued? He didn't curse, but he managed to insult Skinny Monkey. Was this still the same Xu Feng who used to be a pushover?

"You're asking for death!" Skinny Monkey's face turned bright red with anger. Being toyed with by someone everyone considered a weak and useless person was a great humiliation for him.

Without a second thought, Skinny Monkey threw a punch at Xu Feng's chest. His action shocked the servants who saw it. They didn't expect Skinny Monkey to be so ruthless. They knew Skinny Monkey's strength; at the peak of the Third Rank, dealing with Xu Feng would be like playing a game. This punch, if it landed, would either kill or severely injure Xu Feng. They could almost see Xu Feng falling to the ground and crying out in pain.

Xu Feng also didn't expect Skinny Monkey to try to kill him. Although Xu Feng was often bullied, he was still a servant of the Xiao family. For Skinny Monkey, another servant, to try to kill him was incredibly bold.

As Skinny Monkey's fierce punch came, Xu Feng braced himself. After all, he was only at the peak of the Second Rank. However, what surprised Xu Feng was that Skinny Monkey's punch, which looked slow to others, didn't seem fast to him. This strange feeling didn't give Xu Feng time to think. He slightly sidestepped, and Skinny Monkey's punch grazed past him.

"Huh!"

Seeing Xu Feng dodge the punch, the servants were surprised. They thought, "This kid must be really lucky. How could he dodge that?"

When Skinny Monkey saw Xu Feng avoid the punch, he attributed it to luck. He grunted, changed his stance, and threw another punch at Xu Feng.

This punch still seemed slow to Xu Feng. He easily sidestepped it. This surprised Xu Feng, as there was a significant gap between the Second and Third Ranks.

After dodging two consecutive punches, Skinny Monkey became even more enraged. His punches became more fierce and brutal, aiming directly at Xu Feng's throat.

"Hmph!"

Xu Feng sidestepped again, knowing that his Second Rank strength would struggle to resist Skinny Monkey's peak Third Rank. However, this didn't mean Xu Feng would let him off. As Skinny Monkey's old strength waned and new strength hadn't yet built up, Xu Feng transformed his hand into a palm and fiercely struck Skinny Monkey's outstretched arm.

"Crack..."

Xu Feng's powerful palm struck Skinny Monkey's arm, and a bone-cracking sound echoed through the air. At the same time, Skinny Monkey's agonized scream rang out. He clutched his arm, his face contorted in pain, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, and he rolled on the ground.

This unexpected scene left everyone stunned. They rubbed their eyes to confirm that it was Skinny Monkey, not Xu Feng, who was lying on the ground. Several servants stared at Xu Feng with wide eyes.

How could this be? A weak person, not even at the First Rank, had taken down someone at the peak of the Third Rank. Wasn't this too ridiculous? But the scene before them forced them to believe it.

Xu Feng was also somewhat surprised. With his current peak Second Rank strength, he didn't need to be as cautious as before when facing Skinny Monkey. But he hadn't expected to defeat him so easily. Especially, the way Skinny Monkey's attacks seemed to slow down in his vision was puzzling. He hadn't heard that body tempering could improve one's vision to this extent. At least, with his current peak Second Rank strength, it was impossible to have such vision.

Xu Feng couldn't help but think of the Dao Xuan Scripture and the mysterious purple lightning flower. He believed that this enhanced vision must be due to them. This level of vision was comparable to the Fifth Rank!

"You deserve this!" Xu Feng looked at Skinny Monkey, who was still wailing, with a grim expression. Although Xu Feng didn't have such strength in his previous life, he had plenty of male bloodlust. He had been involved in many fights, both getting beaten and beating others, almost every month during his school days. Many of these were because he was protecting Lin Xi, who was a troublemaker. Now, seeing Skinny Monkey wailing, he felt no pity.

You have to scare them when you beat them!

This was something one of Xu Feng's senior brothers had said, and Xu Feng deeply agreed. Seeing Skinny Monkey rolling on the ground, he stepped on his chest and smiled at him, saying kindly, "Who will clean the latrine from now on?"
