Chapter 33: Had an Attack Again

Chapter 34: Hello Goodbye

Xu Xiaoshou was washing his hands.

If he hadn't blocked that fatal bite with his hand at the critical moment, his first kiss in this life might have been stolen.

"Shou dao zu zhu, Beidong Zhi, +2."

The two staff members behind him were writhing on the ground, clutching their stomachs after taking a kick from Xu Xiaoshou—it didn't feel good at all.

Of course, these two who had thought to use a ladder to save people had very limited cultivation levels, so Xu Xiaoshou had held back appropriately.

Boom!

Just then, a massive explosion came from the main arena. A towering Ling Shu burst through the Jie Jie, sending a burly figure flying off the stage.

"Zhan dou jie shu, Mu Zixi sheng!"

The audience erupted in an uproar. This Ling Shu that had suddenly grown wildly on the stage had truly shocked everyone.

"Oh! My baby, this is simply unbelievable, innate?"

"Mu Shimei is also Xian Tian? She's only been in Ling Gong for a year, and this is her strength in her first 'Fengyun Zhengba'?"

"Genius... no, a monster!"

"Poor Ren Chong, with his ten-realm cultivation and minor success in body forging, stopped at the quarterfinals."

"So high up! He must have been thrown dozens of meters... Damn, look, Ren Chong is falling, and there's someone at the landing spot—it's Xu Xiaoshou?"

"Watch out!"

Xu Xiaoshou was carefully scrubbing the back of his hands, washing away the stains, when suddenly a dark object crashed into his mind, seemingly from the sky.

What the hell?

It even shattered the small Jie Jie in the waiting area!

"Shou dao tou xi, Beidong Zhi, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou snorted with a smirk. Things were different now—he wasn't the old Xu Xiaoshou anymore.

He reached out and grabbed it with a reverse hand, feeling like he had caught a big watermelon, though it was a bit prickly. Taking a closer look...

Damn!

It was a human head!

Xu Xiaoshou jumped in fright and quickly let go, instinctively delivering a knee strike.

Bang!

With a dull impact, Ren Chong flew back into the air. This time, Xu Xiaoshou had forgotten to hold back, and in his shock, he even used a bit more force.

The audience watched as Ren Chong fell from heaven to hell, then soared back into the human world, crashing onto the floor with blood spraying from his mouth, his whole body falling apart.

"Ha ha, I can't take it anymore. How unlucky to land on Xu Xiaoshou—what a huge sin. He's got a Xian Tian body; that knee strike probably broke all his ribs?"

"What a pitiful guy, hit with two critical blows in a match."

"Xu Xiaoshou's reaction is spot on. After that last sneak attack by Wen Laoda, he's honed his counter-kill skills—straight through the heart and grabbing the head, tsk tsk!"

The audience chattered away, and with the Jie Jie broken, Xu Xiaoshou gained some Beidong Zhi.

"Shou dao jing pei, Beidong Zhi, +32."

"Shou dao biao yang, Beidong Zhi, +17."

The medical staff hurried past Xu Xiaoshou, not forgetting to glare at him on their way, as if he were the real culprit behind the unconscious victim.

"Shou dao bi shi, Beidong Zhi, +4."

Xu Xiaoshou felt incredibly wronged. He was just washing his hands when this mess fell from the sky—who knew it was a person!

He was already being nice by not twisting that "big watermelon" apart.

"Shou dao yuan hen, Beidong Zhi, +1."

The information bar suddenly refreshed with several messages in a row, leaving Xu Xiaoshou a bit dazed. These single-point Beidong Zhi with such a rapid refresh rate...

He quickly looked toward where Ren Chong had fallen and saw that the guy had been revived by the medical staff and was staring at him with a face full of resentment.

Oh no!

You got knocked off the stage and sneaked an attack on me, and now you're blaming me?

Xu Xiaoshou's face darkened as he shook off the water from his hands and strode over.

"Shou dao huai yi, Beidong Zhi, +1."

Ren Chong's gaze flickered. Xu Xiaoshou was coming over...

What was he up to?

The two staff members behind saw trouble brewing—they knew Xu Xiaoshou all too well—and rushed to hold him back.

"What are you doing? Don't act impulsively!"

"He's injured, a patient!"

Xu Xiaoshou bared his teeth. "I feel like he's resenting me."

Ren Chong panicked. How the hell did you know that so clearly?

He grabbed the medical staff's hand in a hurry. "Don't treat me yet, Xu Xiaoshou... he's coming!"

The four medical staff turned to look, delivering another wave of glares. Xu Xiaoshou forced a smile and said, "Heh heh, it's nothing, I just want to check on this guy, see if he's disabled."

"No need to check, I'm fine!"

Ren Chong trembled, gripping the medical staff's hand tightly, his face pleading. "I request to be treated somewhere else!"

"Heh heh..." Xu Xiaoshou's laugh sounded very warm.

"Xu Xiaoshou!"

"Zhao Qingteng!"

Xiao Qixiu's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the scene in the waiting area. It was clearly the draw results.

The arena fell silent for a moment, then exploded into thunderous cheers—everyone was full of anticipation for this match.

Xu Xiaoshou froze. Zhao Qingteng?

The second on the Fengyun Bang?

A Xian Tian expert?

"So it's finally here?" he sighed softly, knowing that in the quarterfinals, the chances of facing a Xian Tian expert were high.

"Shou dao chao feng, Beidong Zhi, +1."

The information bar refreshed again, and Xu Xiaoshou instinctively looked at Ren Chong, who indeed had a gloating expression on his face.

Who could put up with this?

First resentment, now mockery—endless, huh!

So what if it's Zhao Qingteng? He's not guaranteed to beat me, so why mock me?

Xu Xiaoshou shook off the staff's hands and charged forward.

"Damn, Xu Xiaoshou, what are you doing!"

Ren Chong panicked.

"Xu Xiaoshou, stop!" The medical staff quickly dodged, afraid of being hit by his Xian Tian body. "He's injured—what are you trying to do?"

Ren Chong stared in shock as the four white-clad angels ran off.

"Take me with you!"

Xu Xiaoshou scooped up the immobile Ren Chong, his face full of self-reproach and regret.

"Oh man, I'm so sorry to you. I shouldn't have hit you. But don't worry, I'll set your bones, and I have plenty of Chi Jin Dan. You'll be absolutely fine!"

Xu Xiaoshou's voice carried a hint of a sob as he spoke, while his hand moved to Ren Chong's ribs.

"Damn, don't touch me!"

"Help! Where are the medical staff? Don't just run off—take me too!"

"Hiss~"

"Ah—"

The medical staff and waiting area workers huddled together, watching Xu Xiaoshou set Ren Chong's bones while making him sniff the Dan medicine. They all shuddered.

This was like a devil at work!

A girl in light green silk descended from the main stage. Her features were delicate and exquisite, like a finely carved jade, incredibly cute.

She had long twin ponytails, and her little head swiveled around as if searching for something. Spotting her target, she bounced over to Xu Xiaoshou and patted his head.

"Xu Xiaoshou, Xiao Zhanglao is calling you."

"Hold on, I'm setting bones!"

Xu Xiaoshou didn't even turn around.

The girl tilted her head, clearly curious.

She watched as Xu Xiaoshou pressed hard on Ren Chong's wounds and occasionally made him sniff the Dan medicine. She was stunned by the sight and pointed at Ren Chong. "He's about to die!"

"It's okay, the Chi Jin Dan is keeping him alive. He won't die."

"You're just making him sniff the Dan medicine without feeding it to him—what's the point?"

Xu Xiaoshou paused at her words. Oh, right—this guy probably doesn't have the "Hu Xi Zhi Fa"...

Ren Chong spat out bloody foam, his eyes rolling back as he teetered on the edge of the underworld. Xu Xiaoshou quickly fed him the Dan medicine.

The bones were set properly—Xu Xiaoshou's skills were reliable—but as for the pain, well, that was up to fate.

"Xu Xiaoshou! Get up here!"

Xiao Qixiu's angry roar echoed.

Xu Xiaoshou shuddered and turned to see the girl in green looking demure. She must have been the one who called him.

"You're..."

"Mu Zixi."

The girl in green tilted her head and smiled warmly. "Hello, Xu Xiaoshou."

"Oh, oh."
