Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 182 Before the War

Boom!
Boom!
thump...

Early in the morning.

All members of the Xiao family were alarmed after the bronze bell in the clan rang seven times in succession!
In the clan, except for the very young children who could not remember anything, almost everyone knew that when the bell rang seven times, it meant that the clan might be facing a critical moment in its survival!

"Did you hear it clearly? How many times did the bell ring just now?"

"I'm not sure either. I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by the ringing of a bell. It should have rang at least six times, right?!"

"What six paths? It's seven paths! Why are you walking so slowly?! Hurry up and run..."

“…It must be something big!”

"Go! Go!"

"..."

In the building complex, members of the Xiao family who had just woken up from their sleep, got up from their couches, put on their clothes, rushed out of the door, and ran towards the family square at their fastest speed.

……

On the high platform of the square.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the elders beside him, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and said:
"Three elders, Mr. Liu Xi is missing. What do you think? And this note, who do you think could be the one secretly reminding my Xiao family?"

Hearing this, the three elders turned their gazes away from the increasing number of clansmen below. They had also thought about the two questions in Xiao Zhan's words, but they had not come up with any good answers. Now being asked, the three of them looked at each other, and finally the second elder pondered for a while and said:
"If Mr. Liu Xi is not here at this time, if it is not a coincidence, then he must have heard the news before us, and then... Tsk, after thinking about it, I think the most likely possibility is that he chose to temporarily leave our Xiao family and go out to avoid the limelight.

As for this note, I still have no idea what it is. Logically speaking, our Xiao family has been operating in Wutan City for so many years, and it was only recently that we obtained the specific news about the unusual movements of the indigenous forces in the city, led by the Gale and Oba families, through our own channels and informants tonight. However, this note has appeared in our hands for almost half an hour!
I really can't think of any hidden forces in Wutan City that have such a powerful ability to get information! You know, since the Gale and Oba families planned such a big move tonight, they must have tried their best to block the news beforehand. Half an hour ago, the teams of the two families probably hadn't left their own territory yet, right?"

After the Second Elder finished speaking, Xiao Zhan nodded and immediately expressed his opinion:
"You say, since Mr. Liu Xi might have heard about it before us, could this note be left by him?"

"This……"

Hearing this, the three elders looked at each other.

After a moment, the elder stroked his beard and said carefully:

"It's not impossible. Although Mr. Liu Xi has not been in our Xiao family for a long time, his attitude towards our Xiao family in the past few days after he became our Xiao family's specially hired alchemist is obvious to all. After he got some news about the unusual movements of the Jialie and Oba families, he left a note to remind us. This doesn't seem unreasonable... But, he stayed in our Xiao family before and after the dinner, and some clan members said that they saw him return to his own courtyard after the dinner... He couldn't have gotten the information on the note out of thin air, right?"

"The key points are indeed worth pondering..." Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, paused, glanced at the bottom of the platform, and suddenly waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, let's put this question aside for now and talk about it after tonight. Almost all the tribesmen are here. I wonder if we can..."

boom! ! !
Before Xiao Zhan finished talking to the elders, the Xiao family members who were already on high alert in the square heard a roar coming from far away outside the family mansion, just like the sound of thunder and lightning in the distant sky during thunderstorms in the past.

However, because of the distance, the roar was extremely dull and weak when it reached the ears of the Xiao family members in the square.

But along with the roar in the distance, there was also a violent energy fluctuation that everyone could sense.

This!
On the high platform, the expressions of Xiao Zhan and others changed instantly.

"Is this a Dou Wang-level warrior appearing in Wutan City? Or... is it that a great Dou Master or Dou Ling has self-destructed?!"

-

Not far from the Xiao family mansion.

In a secluded alley, Liu Xi folded his wings and slowly landed on the ground.

Fortunately, it was late in the morning and the place was quiet, otherwise, if he fell from the sky, it would have caused a sensation and attracted onlookers in Wutan City.

"Damn it! I really miscalculated. I didn't expect that Galbi was such a mad dog! He blew himself up as soon as he said he would. I was seriously injured. I could only escape by exposing my flying fighting skills..."

His whole body felt limp, and Liu Xi held onto the rough, damp stone wall in the alley with both hands, gasping for breath from deep in his throat.

Feeling the burning pain on his bloody back and the tightness in his chest caused by the injuries inside his body, Liu Xi's brows were furrowed into a lump.

"Cough...cough..."

He coughed violently several times and coughed out a mouthful of dark red blood that was clotted in his chest.

"Huh...huh..."

Taking a breath again, Liu Xi felt that his breathing became much smoother.

He is the only one who is within the self-destruction range of a five-star great fighter. If it were any other great fighter, he would probably have died there today!

After being transformed by two seventh-grade elixirs that strengthened his cultivation foundation, and in addition to the fact that he had been smoking ten cigarettes a day, day and night, which could enhance his soul power and the strength of his internal organs, he now had an extraordinary physique, far superior to that of ordinary people, which allowed him to escape death just now.

"But fortunately, the injury this time is not as serious as the one in the Jialie family. At least I can still maintain my mobility and still have a certain combat power..."

"Huh..., Jialebi is dead, and there is only one Great Elder Jiale left. My revenge against the Jiale family is almost complete."

Exhaling deeply the foul air with a strong smell of blood, Liu Xi took out a resurrection pill from the stock left by his original body and swallowed it.

This Rejuvenating Pill has a good healing effect on both internal and external injuries, and is considered a top-notch second-grade elixir.

He stood motionless in the alley for a while, waiting for the drug effect to slowly spread and be absorbed in his body. He then took off his tattered and blood-stained clothes, kicked them into the stinky ditch at the side of the alley, and took out a new set from his ring and put them on.

After doing all this, he walked out of the alley.

-

Outside the Xiao family mansion.

The assembled Xiao family members, led by patriarch Xiao Zhan and several elders, lined up in the open space in front of the mansion.

They planned to start a fierce battle with the Gale and Oba families outside the family.

This can avoid a lot of losses afterwards.
