Being forced to grow like a pig? But I'm immune to the consequences!

The unknown developments made Xu Fei increasingly restless, a vague guess forming in his mind, yet he couldn't be sure. He knew that as long as this guess was confirmed, he could carry out his plan and eliminate this major threat.

He immediately strode up to Zhao Dele and the others, put his hands behind his back, adopted an arrogant and condescending posture, and asked in a cold voice, "Hey, you guys, did Wu Sheng go back to the outer city gathering place?"

Zhao Dele and the others exchanged glances, completely ignoring Xu Fei, and continued wiping their weapons as if he were invisible.

Soguli couldn't stand Xu Fei's smug, petty attitude. Displeased but fearless, he immediately raised his eyes and retorted impatiently, "What are you yelling about all day? Get lost and stop getting in my way!"

"Where Wu Sheng went is none of your business! You just rely on someone to flatter you, putting on airs all day long. In reality, you're a jealous little man, always stalking others behind their backs, no different from a rat in the gutter that can't stand the light!"

Soguli had already figured it out: he and Xu Fei had completely offended each other, and there was no room for reconciliation. Since that was the case, there was no need to swallow his anger any longer; he should confront them directly without holding back.

Moreover, given the precedents of Elise and Liu Zhi, the training ground is now strictly disciplined, and no one dares to fight privately. Even if a conflict does break out, they are all at the fifth level of Body Tempering, and none of them are afraid of anyone. Xu Fei's followers are nothing but sycophants who will never help if something really happens.

Xu Fei was shocked that Suoguli dared to insult him in public like that. His face turned ashen and he trembled with anger.

He was currently enjoying immense prestige on the training field, being held in high esteem by everyone. He was the one who always reprimanded others. Soguri, a character he looked down upon, dared to embarrass him to his face, which instantly shattered his composure.

He stiffened his neck, his eyes wide, and shouted angrily, "You bastard from out of town, how dare you curse me? Who gave you the guts!"

Soguri sneered, showing no fear, his tone even sharper: "So what if I insulted you? Do you really think you're someone important? Just because others fawn over you, you get all high and mighty? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror, you're like a dog wagging its tail! If you're not happy, go fight in the ring, don't act tough here!"

These words thoroughly enraged Xu Fei. He clenched his fists, wanting nothing more than to rush up and beat Soguli to a pulp, but then he thought of Wu Sheng's matter and ultimately suppressed his anger. Dealing with Wu Sheng was the top priority right now; he couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of trivial matters.

He glared fiercely at Soguri and uttered a harsh threat: "You just wait, you won't be arrogant for long. Sooner or later, I'll find a chance to cripple you and make your whole family suffer!"

Soguri's eyes turned cold, and his retort became even more ruthless: "Want to mess with my family? Go ahead and try. Let's see if I don't storm into your settlement first and make sure your whole family has no peace!"

Xu Fei gained no advantage whatsoever, and instead felt a surge of anger. He could only grit his teeth in resentment and turn away angrily.

However, this confrontation also made him completely certain that Wu Sheng must have returned to the outer city settlement, his purpose being nothing more than to visit his family.

In an instant, a sinister glint flashed in Xu Fei's eyes, and a wicked thought began to take root in his mind. Without pausing, he quickly left the martial arts academy.

……

Not long after, Xu Fei arrived at that magnificent manor again.

The manor is magnificent with its carved beams and painted rafters.

He explained his purpose to the guards, and after being informed, he soon met his brother, Xu Wenbo.

"Brother, I have something important to tell you!" Xu Fei strode forward, lowered his voice, and told Xu Wenbo everything about Wu Sheng's leave to return to the outer city settlement. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "Brother, this is a golden opportunity!"

Xu Wenbo raised an eyebrow and asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"

"That brat Wu Sheng is too much of a threat. If we don't get rid of him now, he will become a major problem in the future and cause us a lot of trouble sooner or later! We might as well take advantage of his return to the outer city, when he has no martial arts academy to protect him, and eliminate him directly to prevent future troubles!" Xu Fei's tone was filled with impatient ruthlessness.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenbo fell into deep thought.

Xu Fei is right; Wu Sheng's talent and ability are undeniable.

If they let him grow unchecked, he might actually come looking for them in the future and seek revenge. The longer they wait, the more trouble they'll face; the sooner they eliminate him, the more at ease they'll be. With Wu Sheng's current strength at the fifth level of Body Tempering, dealing with him is the easiest option.

After a moment's thought, Xu Wenbo nodded, his eyes turning cold: "I understand. Leave this to me. You don't need to worry about it. Go back to the Martial Academy and don't give anything away."

"Great!" Xu Fei was overjoyed and quickly agreed, then turned and returned to the Martial Arts Academy.

Xu Wenbo did not return to the manor, but instead turned and walked towards a secluded alley, intending to contact people and carry out the plan to eliminate Wu Sheng.

……

Meanwhile, Wu Sheng had already entered the community where his sister lived.

The people in the shantytown all turned their attention to him. Although most of them were not familiar with him, they all knew that he was the only boy in this settlement who had been admitted to the Inner City Martial Academy. It was because of him that their settlement had been exempted from taxes for a year.

Although most of them were not familiar with him, they all knew that he was the only boy in this settlement who had been admitted to the Inner City Martial Academy. It was because of him that their settlement had been exempted from taxes for a year.

Therefore, seeing his crisp martial arts academy uniform, everyone smiled kindly and greeted him warmly: "You're back!" "You've really made something of yourself!"

With a slight smile, Wu Sheng responded politely to each question, and without stopping, quickly returned to the front of his own shed.

Inside the low shed, Wu Yu, the older sister, was sitting on a small stool, carefully picking and washing vegetables with gentle movements.

Although Mo Han often came to take care of Wu Sheng after he was admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, Wu Yu's status in the community was no longer what it used to be, and no one dared to provoke her. However, she still maintained her low-key and frugal nature, treated people kindly, and lived a simple life.

"I wonder if my younger brother is doing well in the inner city, or if he's been wronged..." Wu Yu murmured softly as she picked vegetables, her heart filled with concern for her brother. Now, Wu Sheng was her only family, and her whole heart was tied to him.

Just then, soft footsteps came from outside the door.

Wu Yu turned around in confusion and immediately saw the familiar figure at the door. He was tall and handsome, and it was none other than her beloved younger brother, Wu Sheng.

"Young man!" Wu Yu exclaimed in surprise, a bright smile spreading across her face. She quickly put down the dishes she was holding and hurried to greet him, grabbing Wu Sheng's hand with a mixture of joy and worry in her voice, "Why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen in the inner city? Were you wronged?"

Her heart was filled with concern for her younger brother's safety, fearing that he was not doing well at the martial arts academy.

Seeing his sister's concerned expression, Wu Sheng felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled and shook his head, gently comforting her, "Sister, I just missed you and came back to see you. I'm doing very well at the Inner City Martial Academy. No one dares to bully me. In twenty days, the training will be over, and then I'll be officially assigned a job. Our lives will only get better from now on."
