Chapter 625: Unrivaled Prestige
“Anterior stage!”
Instantly, several voices rang out from different places.
The people uttering these words were all big shots, and no one dared to question them.
They all looked at Xiao Shun with awe in their eyes.
Are you kidding? Xiao Shun is a practitioner of the Anterior stage realm!
This is impossible. In the entire Old School Society, it is said that only a few people have reached the Anterior stage.
Even the likes of Gu Baiyi, who can rank in the top ten or even top five in the Old School Society, have only taken a step into the Anterior stage, barely qualifying as a half-step Anterior.
And Xiao Shun, a relatively new figure, has already entered that legendary realm.
Moreover, Xiao Shun is still so young, with an unlimited future ahead of him.
It’s simply unbelievable!
Just as everyone was lost in their thoughts, Xiao Shun had already forced Gu Baiyi back, hitting him hard on the shoulder!
“Crack!”
This punch directly shattered Gu Baiyi’s scapula.
At the same time, six internal forces erupted in his body, sending Gu Baiyi flying through the air, on the verge of falling off the stage.
But Xiao Shun had no intention of ending the fight so soon. He suddenly reached out, grabbing Gu Baiyi by the legs and pulling him back. He then pressed him back to where he had been standing before.
In that moment, he said something that sent chills down everyone’s spine.
“If you can take ten punches from me and survive, I will spare your life today!”
Truly a twist of fate!
Just moments ago, Gu Baiyi was arrogant and claimed he could take twenty hits, only to find himself unable to even take one punch!
Now facing these ten punches, how could he possibly survive?
With this thought in mind, Gu Baiyi endured the pain in his shoulder and struck Xiao Shun in the chest while his guard was down.
Even though his cultivation was inferior to his opponent’s, Gu Baiyi put all his strength into this blow. Even with Xiao Shun’s Anterior stage physique, he was bound to be injured by this strike!
“Bang!”
A loud noise erupted in Xiao Shun’s chest, but amidst the violent energy release, he remained unfazed.
“Hiss!”
The sound of sharp intakes of breath could be heard around, as no one could help but be astounded by Xiao Shun’s robust physique.
“I can withstand a hundred blows from you, but you cannot withstand one from me!”
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Shun struck Gu Baiyi again, hitting him hard on the body.
“Splurt!”
The force of the punch pierced through Gu Baiyi’s body, causing him to spurt blood from his mouth.
Gu Baiyi was on the brink of collapse!
Xiao Shun continued the assault, pulling back Gu Baiyi who was flying backward.
Then, he unleashed a third punch.
The once arrogant Gu Baiyi now appeared dejected and embarrassed, his face devoid of its former arrogance, feeling utterly defeated.
He recalled his battle with Xiao Shun at the demolition site, where he was unstoppable at that time. Now, he was completely defenseless.
Yes, utterly defenseless!
Gu Baiyi knew that if Xiao Shun wanted to kill him now, it would be a matter of moments. But Xiao Shun chose not to do so.
This was undoubtedly a severe humiliation for Gu Baiyi.
Just like that day, they had merely swapped roles.
As Gu Baiyi’s mind raced with thoughts, Xiao Shun unleashed six more punches on him!
Each blow struck him to the core.
But beyond the physical pain, what Gu Baiyi found difficult to accept was the damage to his spiritual core.
After this battle, his spiritual core was unstable.
This was why Xiao Shun chose not to kill him with a single punch, as damaging the spiritual core of someone who was solely focused on cultivation was far more vengeful than killing them.
“Xiao Shun, that’s enough!”
Just then, Haitang appeared on the first stage with many senior figures of the Old School Society.
They came with determination but dared not take another step forward, and no one dared to attack Xiao Shun.
After all, he was a practitioner of the Anterior stage!
Facing away from the senior figures of the Old School Society, Xiao Shun said coldly, “You all have three minutes to leave!”
His tone was resolute, carrying a sense of killing intent.
Haitang’s gaze turned cold as she cautioned, “Are you really willing to go to war with the Old School Society?”
“Go to war?”
Xiao Shun, holding Gu Baiyi like a dead dog, sneered, “Did the Old School Society ever consider this when they came after me?”
At these words, Haitang was left speechless.
Ignoring her, Xiao Shun continued, “You have two minutes left!”
With that, the senior members of the Old School Society were filled with excitement.
“Xiao Shun, don’t think we’re afraid of you. We’re trying to avoid a violent conflict between us. Gu Baiyi must not die!”
“Do you think you can act recklessly just because you’re an Anterior stage practitioner? We have ten postnatal practitioners and Miss Haitang here. Are you afraid now?”
At Xiao Shun’s smirk, he said, “Well, you’ll find out soon enough with one breath left!”
These words angered the senior members of the Old School Society, but before they could unleash their fury, Haitang commanded, “Stand down!”
“Haitang, do you really want to test our patience and start a fight with the Old School Society?”
“Just because you’re an Anterior stage practitioner doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! The ten postnatal practitioners and Miss Haitang won’t be afraid of you!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun smirked, his words cryptic.
“Hehe, you have one breath left. Soon you’ll see the outcome!”
The Old School Society big shots were furious, ready to curse, but Haitang interrupted, “Leave now!”
“Haitang, please…” Everyone looked at Haitang, puzzled.
Haitang’s expression was complex as she said, “Unless our branch head intervenes, we cannot do anything to this person!”
With that, she was the first to leap off the stage.
Seeing this, the others followed suit.
With Haitang’s cultivation not far from Gu Baiyi’s, now that all the senior figures had left, who else dared to stay here?
Watching the disappointed figures of the Old School Society big shots leave, the audience was initially puzzled, then stunned as they gazed at Xiao Shun.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
This man could make many high-ranking members of the Old School Society submit without resistance with just a few words.
And among them was one of the four envoys of the Martial Arena.
It seemed that he was indeed unbeatable!
As everyone marveled at Xiao Shun’s overwhelming power and boldness, the next thing he said caused an uproar.
“Tomorrow, I will hold the inaugural ceremony of the New School Society here. If you are interested, feel free to join. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!”
