Chapter 94: Provoking the Wrath of the Crowd

After recognizing her, Xiao Bei did not spare her another glance and directly ignored her glare.

Of course, Xiao Bei had no interest in the battle platform either.

Slightly lowering his head, Xiao Bei began to ponder the research on the starstone's fluctuations that he had just conducted.

"The fluctuations of the starstone are like a heart, transmitting energy in a very regular pattern. Now, it seems to have developed a heart condition. If I assume that the starstone is a heart, then the times when the heart's transmission is weakest are not much different from before. Instead, it often transmits more powerfully. This indicates that the starstone is not showing any signs of weakening. The changes in the fluctuations are likely due to occasional malfunctions, causing the starstone to output energy unstably..."

By likening the starstone to a heart, Xiao Bei once again deduced in his mind.

During the deduction process, Xiao Bei continuously sensed the fluctuations forming in the Star Palace and the energy transmitted to the central starstone.

Although Xiao Bei had felt these fluctuations thousands of times today, he believed that the more he felt, the better he would understand and comprehend them...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the battle platform.

Beside Xiao Bei, Zhang Lan let out a soft "ah."

People like Zhang Lan, who were supported by Xiao Man and Huan'er, and others who had not seen much bloodshed, involuntarily made similar sounds.

Furrowing his brows, Xiao Bei turned his gaze to the battle platform—only to find that the reason Zhang Lan and others had changed their expressions and let out exclamations was that a significant change had occurred on the platform!

Just a moment ago, while Xiao Bei was deducing the starstone's fluctuations to understand the reasons behind the changes, Xiao Yuan, who had been suppressed by Xiao Yun, suddenly unleashed a powerful set of boxing techniques. The techniques were so forceful that they temporarily restrained Xiao Yun's abilities. If Xiao Yun's martial qi had not been significantly stronger than Xiao Yuan's, Xiao Yun might have been injured by Xiao Yuan!

In this situation, Xiao Yun... became enraged with shame!

Thus, the incident that made Zhang Lan and others exclaim occurred... Xiao Yun, with a face full of anger, dodged Xiao Yuan's strange and powerful punch and then suddenly moved quickly, directly colliding with Xiao Yuan's punch. Xiao Yuan, of course, was no match for Xiao Yun in a direct confrontation, so he chose to retreat. After retreating, Xiao Yuan used the same flexible and cunning techniques again... When Xiao Yuan used these techniques again, Xiao Yun, with a face full of rage, used his most powerful strength to completely envelop Xiao Yuan with martial qi and then struck a powerful punch in the air. At this moment, the martial qi Xiao Yun displayed was at the peak of the Eighth Rank of the Later Heaven Warrior, almost reaching the Ninth Rank! It was much stronger than before!

No matter how agile Xiao Yuan was, he could not possibly defeat Xiao Yun under such powerful martial qi, which was at least twice as strong as before!

"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"...

Under the envelopment of Xiao Yun's martial qi, Xiao Yuan was struck hard by Xiao Yun's palm and retreated several steps!

"Ah..." Xiao Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, although Xiao Yuan had not conceded defeat, Xiao Zhan, who was overseeing the battle, had already decided to declare Xiao Yuan the loser because Xiao Yuan, severely injured by Xiao Yun's powerful strike, could not even stand steadily.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yun, without any regard, directly moved to Xiao Yuan's side on the battle platform and struck again! He continuously hit Xiao Yuan with three powerful punches!

After the three punches, Xiao Yun directly struck Xiao Yuan's left arm with a hand blade. The "crack" sound from Xiao Yuan's left arm was clearly audible in the silent atmosphere... This was the reason why Zhang Lan and others exclaimed!

Below the platform, the atmosphere became even more silent due to Xiao Yun's actions, followed by an overwhelming wave of anger! An endless wave of anger!

Almost all the Xiao family members below the battle platform were furious, except for a few who were already preparing to betray the Xiao family. However, how many such people could there be? According to Xiao Bei's knowledge, the total number of these people would not even reach a few percent of the many Xiao family members present!

Therefore, it could be said that Xiao Yun had absolutely provoked the wrath of the crowd!

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan..." Below the platform, a middle-aged woman who was about to cheer for her son Xiao Yuan saw that Xiao Yuan had been struck so severely by Xiao Yun that he had fainted. Without even considering any internal injuries, the "crack" sound just now indicated that Xiao Yuan's arm had definitely been broken by Xiao Yun. The woman's face immediately turned anxious, and she called out.

Beside the woman, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat robust glared at Xiao Yun with fiery eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

However, just as the woman called out Xiao Yuan's name and rushed forward, the robust middle-aged man released one hand from his fist and grabbed the woman.

"Don't go up there. This is our family's trial, not a game!"

In a stern voice, the robust middle-aged man said.

On the other side, the woman, held back by the middle-aged man, was already in tears... This scene made the anger of the Xiao family members around them toward Xiao Yun on the battle platform even more intense!

Many people looked at Xiao Yun with hatred in their eyes!

To be so cruel to one's own clan members? What use is such a clan member?... When Xiao Bei's gaze fell on Xiao Yun, he had just broken Xiao Yuan's arm in a fit of rage, and his arm was momentarily paused.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Bei's heart was no longer calm. After all, what Xiao Yun had done was too much... Xiao Bei knew that on this continent, demonic beasts were widespread, and various countries stood independently. Apart from prestigious institutions like the Hengxiang Academy and some major sects, the most important external support for an individual was their family!

For an individual, apart from themselves, the most significant external support is their family!

A family can quickly cultivate a talent.

Without a large family, one can only rely on themselves for cultivation and medicinal pills. But with a family as support, your cultivation and medicinal pills can be provided by the family, allowing you to focus solely on cultivation!

This is why many young talents come from large families rather than humble backgrounds.

A deep foundation gives you a higher starting point, which is undeniable.

And the reason for all this is that a family is a bloodline!

Bloodline is the most crucial link... There are traitors in families, but they are a minority!

Especially in families with a deep foundation, traitors are almost non-existent!

"Xiao Yun, step down!"

Xiao Zhan, who was overseeing the battle, suddenly leaped up and floated to the battle platform, sternly shouting at Xiao Yun, "Why are you being so cruel to your clan members! Do you want to kill Xiao Yuan? Huh?"

With a "huh," Xiao Zhan used his martial qi.

The "buzzing" sound formed a sound wave attack in the air, directly forcing Xiao Yun to retreat!
