Chapter 18

Xie Shan fell off the stone platform and was still somewhat conscious, but upon hearing these words, he was so angry that he fainted.

Damn it! You are on par with a First Stage realm cultivator, yet you defeat me in one move, bullying me and calling me too weak! Although the area outside the stone platform was filled with people, only the sound of the wind remained.

Everyone, including Qin Qingmou and Xie Guangping, stared at the slender youth in the arena.

At this moment, he truly became the center of attention.

One move! He severely injured a Third Stage realm cultivator, leaving his life hanging by a thread.

What kind of strength is this?

At least the strength of a Fifth Stage realm.

In other words, Xu Wuzhou should have reached the Fifth Stage realm.

Even if he falls short, it wouldn't be by much.

Fifth Stage! In the entire Lin'an City, the top ten strongest are all at the Xiantian realm, standing high above.

These ten people are the pillars of the major families, holding absolute power in Lin'an City, all giants. We won't talk about them for now, as they are too far from the reach of ordinary martial artists.

Next are the Houtian realm cultivators. Those who have reached the Fifth Stage of the Houtian realm are all senior experts, but even among the senior experts, there are no more than a hundred in Lin'an City.

Among the younger generation, there are even fewer than ten.

In other words, this person, who has always been insulted as a waste and a worm, is actually one of the most talented in Lin'an City.

They found it hard to accept that Xu Wuzhou could reach the First Stage of the Houtian realm.

And now... they all felt like they were dreaming collectively.

Was his previous appearance as a waste and trash just an act?

But what kind of joke is this? They didn't believe anyone could act like that.

Moreover, could he have advanced to the Fifth Stage of the Houtian realm in such a short time?

"Sis, I used to scold Brother-in-Law too harshly. Will he take revenge on me?" Qin Yunjie poked his sister and asked cautiously, fearing that he had even fought Xu Wuzhou.

With this strength, one slap could kill him.

Qin Qingmou looked at the youth in the arena, comparing him with the youth in her memory. She felt her thoughts were in chaos. Is this really that idle, arrogant, and wasteful son?

"Have I never truly understood him?"

Qin Qingmou sighed softly, her mood somewhat complicated.

Since childhood, she knew she would marry Xu Wuzhou.

However, his behavior, even though she tried to tolerate it, still disappointed her continuously, eroding any affection she had for him.

Until the events of their wedding, she felt utterly hopeless.

But now, this worthless person suddenly displayed the top ten strength among the younger generation in Lin'an City, the stark contrast making it hard for her to accept.

Qin Li was so excited that his whole body was trembling, his face flushed, and his eyes wide like a bull's, staring at Xu Wuzhou, his lips quivering.

"Is this him?"

Lin Qingci from the Lin family camp murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on the youth.

"Damn it, when we used to call him a waste and a fool, was he secretly calling us wastes and fools, and treating us like monkeys?"

A young nobleman from a major family cursed.

This sentence made many people's faces burn, they felt it was very likely! "What a black-hearted person."

Xie Guangping stood there, his eyes dark and uncertain. This was indeed something he hadn't expected.

He couldn't help but look at Qin Qingmou, his forbidden fruit. Would it fall into Xu Wuzhou's hands?

"Here are a thousand taels, thank you!"

Xu Wuzhou walked down from the platform and said to Xie Guangping.

Xie Guangping took a deep breath, calming himself, and sneered, "Indeed, a man who marries into a family, where would you get money? You can only swindle some from me, how pitiful."

Xu Wuzhou took the silver from Xie Guangping without responding.

At this moment, Xie Guangping leaned close to Xu Wuzhou's ear and whispered, "This level of strength is not enough. I will make you suffer a terrible death, and I will take good care of your wife."

Xu Wuzhou stopped, looking at Xie Guangping, "With you?"

"Do you think the Qin family can protect you? The Qin family can barely protect themselves.

I have a cage reserved, just for Qin Qingmou."

Xie Guangping said.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Xu Wuzhou said to Xie Guangping.

With two thousand taels in hand, reaching the Ninth Stage of the Houtian realm should be no problem. I hope Xie Guangping will personally take action, then I can kill you easily.

Xie Guangping watched Xu Wuzhou's retreating back, his eyes dark.

Overestimating yourself, do you think the Fifth Stage of the Houtian realm is very strong?

I have three people at the Seventh Stage of the Houtian realm at home, ready to be dispatched to deal with you! Also, it seems the Shi brothers were killed by you. I will use the Shi family and then tell them, to see if they will fight you to the death.

Qin Qingmou is mine, no one can touch her first.

"Good boy!"

Qin Li laughed heartily, slapping Xu Wuzhou's shoulder hard, "I knew Brother Xu's son wouldn't be a waste."

Qin Li, in his excitement, didn't control his strength well, making Xu Wuzhou wince in pain.

"Uncle Qin, I suddenly feel that I was indeed too much in the past, so I'm preparing to change."

Xu Wuzhou said.

"Good, good, good!"

Qin Li looked pleased, "A prodigal son's return is worth more than gold. Follow me from now on."

"Uncle Qin, I also want to achieve something.

The Xu family was ruined by me in the past, I want to revive the Xu family. I wonder if Uncle Qin can give me the silver the Xu family sold for."

Xu Wuzhou muttered, ten thousand taels, that's ten thousand drops of blood, if I can get it, I'll be rich.

Maybe I can reach the Xiantian realm, or even higher, then I can walk with my head held high in Lin'an City, Xie Guangping... I'm afraid you won't come to trouble me.

Qin Li thought for a moment and said, "Alright!"

Xu Wuzhou was overjoyed, thinking that showing off was indeed useful.

Seeing Xu Wuzhou finish talking with Qin Li, Qin Yunjie timidly called out, "Brother-in-Law!"

Xu Wuzhou looked at the nervous and trembling Qin Yunjie and said seriously, "When you have time, I will guide you in martial arts."

Qin Yunjie's face turned pale.

Sure enough, this black-hearted guy isn't going to let him off, it's over, I'm going to be beaten to death.

"Sis!"

Qin Yunjie looked at Qin Qingmou with a pained face, begging for her to plead on his behalf.

Qin Qingmou ignored Qin Yunjie and looked at Xu Wuzhou, "You've worked hard, you did very well."

Qin Qingmou wore slightly tight clothing, her buttocks were full and round, her waist slender, her chest pushing against her dress, creating a perfect and alluring curve. Her nose was straight, her lips had an exceptionally soft curve, and her skin was so smooth that one couldn't resist wanting to bite it.

"Is there any reward?"

Xu Wuzhou asked.

Seeing Xu Wuzhou staring at her lips with a burning gaze, Qin Qingmou immediately understood what he meant, her face turning red, like a rosy cloud, the shy beauty of the young girl making Xu Wuzhou's heart tremble.

"Rest well."

Qin Qingmou answered in a flustered manner, unable to face such teasing.

Xu Wuzhou smiled, just about to say something, when he saw a woman with a graceful figure and long, straight legs like chopsticks walking over.

"Lin Qingci, what does she want?"

...
