Battle Through the Heavens: Bind Xun'er, reward Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

Xiao Xuan turned his head and looked at the Grand Elder.

"How dare you use such force!"

The elder leaped and landed on the high platform.

He examined Xiao Ning's injuries, and his expression grew even more grim.

Three ribs were broken.

All the internal organs and viscera are damaged to varying degrees.

It will take at least two or three months to recover.

The Grand Elder stood up and stared at Xiao Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, you have ruthless methods!"

"Ruthless?" Xiao Xuan said. "I've already held back."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Hold back? You beat my grandson like this, and you dare say you held back?"

"He didn't hold back when he attacked me," Xiao Xuan said.

"you……"

The elder was so angry that he trembled all over.

His fighting spirit began to surge.

The aura of a Grand Master erupted.

"Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"

He struck Xiao Xuan with his palm.

The palm strike was incredibly powerful, far surpassing Xiao Ning's earlier palm strike.

Xiao Xuan looked at the palm that was slapping towards him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Just then, a figure leaped up from below the stage.

Xiao Zhan.

He stood in front of Xiao Xuan and raised his hand to block the elder's palm.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The Grand Elder took two steps back, but Xiao Zhan remained unmoved.

The First Elder steadied himself and looked at Xiao Zhan.

"Chieftain, what do you mean?"

"I'd like to ask you that," Xiao Zhan said coldly, "Elder, what do you mean by attacking my son as an elder?"

"He severely injured my grandson," the elder said, pointing at Xiao Ning. "As his grandfather, can't I discipline him?"

"A lesson?" Xiao Zhan said, "In a contest, fists and feet have no eyes."

"Injuries are inevitable."

"Your grandson isn't as skilled as others, whose fault is that?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's face flushed red.

"Chieftain, you..."

"Am I wrong?" Xiao Zhan interrupted him. "When Xiao Ning attacked Xiao Xuan just now, why didn't you say he was too heavy-handed?"

"Now that your grandson lost, you're jumping out to lecture people?"

"Is this how you act as the Grand Elder?"

The Grand Elder was so angry he couldn't speak.

The Second Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Xiao Zhan is right.

In a contest, fists and feet have no eyes.

Xiao Ning was outmatched; a loss is a loss.

It was indeed unreasonable for the Grand Elder to punish Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Zhan turned around and glanced at the crowd below the stage.

"Xiao Xuan wins this match."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears.

The audience was silent.

No one dared to speak.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Xuan, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Then he turned around and walked down from the platform.

The Grand Elder stood there, his face alternating between pale and flushed.

He looked at the unconscious Xiao Ning, and then at Xiao Xuan.

The hatred in my heart was impossible to suppress.

He picked up Xiao Ning, turned around, and walked down from the platform.

Xiao Xuan watched his retreating figure before turning his gaze away.

He also stepped down from the platform.

Xiao Xun'er immediately came to greet her.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, are you alright?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Xun'er took his arm, her face full of smiles.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, you're amazing."

Xiao Xuan remained silent.

……

After the family competition ended, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xun'er left the training ground.

Walking towards the side courtyard, Xiao Xun'er linked arms with Xiao Xuan, her face full of admiration.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, you were amazing just now."

Xiao Xuan remained silent.

"Xiao Ning couldn't even withstand a single move from you," Xiao Xun'er said. "Brother Xiao Xuan, when exactly did your strength improve?"

Xiao Xuan glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Xiao Xun'er was stunned for a moment.

Since Brother Xiao Xuan is unwilling to talk about it, he must have his reasons.

She shouldn't have asked so many questions.

Xiao Xun'er murmured to herself.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, I understand," Xiao Xun'er said.

Xiao Xuan looked at her, pondering what to do next.

Xiao Xun'er is now a three-star fighter.

Although his strength was already quite high among the younger generation of the Xiao family, it was still far from enough for him.

He needs Xiao Xun'er to become stronger.

The stronger she is, the more she receives in return.

Xiao Xuan thought to himself.

Next, we still need to find a way to continue helping Xiao Xun'er improve her strength.

The two reached a fork in the road.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, I'm going back now," Xiao Xun'er said.

"Um."

Xiao Xun'er released his arm and walked towards her own courtyard.

Xiao Xuan watched her leave, then looked away.

He turned and walked back to his residence.

……

Xiao Xuan returned to his room and sat down on the bed.

He closed his eyes and began to review what he had accomplished that day.

Although the First Elder held a grudge after Xiao Ning won the family competition, he shouldn't cause any more trouble for a while.

Xiao Xun'er broke through to the three-star Dou Zhe level, and he received a cultivation bonus, reaching the peak of the three-star Dou Huang level.

The information on the system panel is clear and easy to understand.

[Target strength: Three-star fighter.]

[Host's current strength: Peak three-star Dou Huang.]

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

Three-star Battle Emperor Peak.

This level of strength is already considered top-tier in Wutan City.

But for him, that wasn't enough.

Yun Yun of the Yunlan Sect is a Dou Huang level expert, and the Jia Ma Empire also has Dou Zong level experts.

His current strength is far from sufficient.

We must continue to help Xiao Xun'er improve her strength.

Only when Xiao Xun'er becomes stronger can he become stronger.

As Xiao Xuan was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Xuan'er".

It was Xiao Zhan's voice.

"Come in, Father."

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Zhan walked in.

He looked at Xiao Xuan, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Xuan'er, you did very well today."

Xiao Xuan remained silent.

Xiao Zhan sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Tell me honestly, when did your strength increase?"

Xiao Zhan looked at him, his eyes full of expectation.

Xiao Xuan remained silent for a moment.

Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Xiao Xuan's calm expression.

"That's enough."

Xiao Zhan sighed inwardly.

If Xuan'er didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

He would be at ease as long as Xuan'er became stronger.

"Alright, I won't ask," Xiao Zhan said.

He stood up and patted Xiao Xuan on the shoulder.

"Xuan'er, no matter how you improved your strength, I am happy for you."

"Thank you, Father," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Zhan nodded, turned and left the room.

……

After Xiao Zhan left, Xiao Xuan was preparing to rest.

The system's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

[The bound target has been detected practicing a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique.]

[Technique Name: Ancient Sage's Precious Mirror]

[Source: Ancient Clan Traditional Exercises]

Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment.

Ancient Sage's Treasure Mirror?

Ancient clan's inherited martial arts techniques?

Before he could think any further, the system's voice sounded again.

[Bound to a target to cultivate a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, triggering random feedback.]

[Feedback being generated...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Heavenly Rank Advanced Battle Skill: Wrath of the Underworld.]

Xiao Xuan looked at the system panel, his pupils slightly contracting.

The wrath of the Yellow Springs.

Advanced Heavenly Rank Combat Techniques.
