?78: Chapter 78: Pointing the Way (Please Recommend and Favorite) 78: Chapter 78: Pointing the Way (Please Recommend and Favorite) A living Ancient Martial Grandmaster actually broke down in tears.

    When such a scene fell into everyone’s eyes, every face showed a complex expression.

    Ye Xuan bullied people, he really bullied them to the extreme, and that was exactly what he wanted.

    Ye Xuan always believed in one saying, “If a dog bites a person, naturally the person doesn’t bite back,” but Ye Xuan’s approach was to break the dog’s legs, making sure the other party would remember it for life.

    The freezing murderous intent vanished, and Ye Xuan bent down to help Chu Tianhe up, even kindly smoothing out his wrinkled clothes with a smile, “Instructor Chu, I’m truly very sorry.

    Actually, I was just joking.

    Please don’t be offended.”

    Looking at Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Chu Tianhe tensed up all over, even his teeth involuntarily chattered.

    The look in his eyes towards Ye Xuan was like seeing a demon, and his heart was filled with immense fear.

    “It’s...

    it’s fine,” Chu Tianhe forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying!

    No, that was wrong.

    Chu Tianhe had already cried.

    It was just that he never wanted to encounter Ye Xuan again, as he was truly terrified by him.

    This man in front of him was unpredictable, simply a devil.

    “Somebody, take Instructor Chu down for treatment,” Azure Dragon let out a breath and had an Earth Group member help Chu Tianhe quickly walk towards the medical room.

    As Ye Xuan strolled down from the platform, members of the Earth Group unconsciously backed away, their eyes showing unprecedented respect and awe towards him.

    Clearly, Ye Xuan’s methods had given them a true lesson on what it meant to be a ferocious spirit.

    Looking at everyone’s fearful expressions, Ye Xuan’s heart was untroubled; he had a very good reason for doing what he did.

    Establishing authority, indeed, that was it!

    Today a Chu Tianhe dared to target him; if Ye Xuan didn’t respond with a thunderous strike to teach him a lesson, there was no guarantee that others wouldn’t follow Chu Tianhe’s example and come looking for trouble in the future.

    Although Ye Xuan wasn’t afraid of people looking for trouble, these annoying issues would indeed irritate him.

    The effect he had achieved was clear; Ye Xuan had established himself as a terrifying figure in the eyes of the Earth Group members.

    “Mr.

    Ye, I’m really impressed with you!” Azure Dragon said with a wry smile.

    “The means were a bit severe, but they saved a lot of trouble, don’t blame me,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

    “Azure Dragon wouldn’t dare to blame you, sir.

    It was Chu Tianhe who didn’t recognize his place.

    He brought this upon himself,” Azure Dragon said.

    The two chatted casually for a while, then sat down together to discuss the annual meeting of the Wu’an Office.

    Time passed quickly, and after an hour, Ye Xuan learned about the situation of the Earth Group from Azure Dragon, which made Azure Dragon’s expression awkward and somewhat embarrassed to face Ye Xuan.

    “When the time comes, we will still need Mr.

    Ye to take action, just try not to hurt the other Guest Elders,” Azure Dragon probed cautiously.

    “It’s alright, just some minor matters,” Ye Xuan said, undisturbed.

    While the two were talking, the surrounding Earth Group members began their cultivation again, but from the corner of their eyes, they would sneak glances at Ye Xuan, their eyes reflecting complex sentiments.

    In the Ancient Martial Superpower World, strength was revered.

    Today, Ye Xuan’s thunderous action had shown them what a true strong person was, which stirred some thoughts in some people’s minds.

    Zhang Xiaoqiang, an ordinary member of the Earth Group with a beginner level of Dark Force in his Ancient Martial Cultivation, worked hard in cultivation every day but was a very weak presence within the group.

    He even had a shameful nickname, “Zhang Xiaowei” (Weak Zhang).

    Zhang Xiaoqiang was conflicted inside.

    When he saw how Ye Xuan defeated Chu Tianhe in a blink of an eye, he was extremely afraid of Ye Xuan.

    However, Zhang Xiaoqiang had an urge, because he had heard that Ye Xuan pointed out their lack of explosive power in cultivation, which was his biggest deficiency in cultivating Ancient Martial Arts.

    After much hesitation and with apparent timidity, Zhang Xiaoqiang seemed to hear a voice telling him that if he did not seek guidance from Ye Xuan now, he didn’t know when he would get another chance to meet this Guest Elder.

    If he did not seize this opportunity, he feared he would regret it for life.

    Zhang Xiaoqiang made up his mind rapidly, his face turning red, but under the astonished gazes of the Earth Group members, he walked determinedly towards Ye Xuan.

    “Mr...

    Mr.

    Ye...

    You just mentioned our lack of explosive power...

    could you give some advice to your junior?” Zhang Xiaoqiang’s face was flushed, he couldn’t dare look into Ye Xuan’s eyes, and his voice trembled with extreme nervousness.

    “Ridiculous, I am discussing important matters with Mr.

    Ye, you...”

    Before Azure Dragon could finish, Ye Xuan waved his hand to interrupt him, causing Azure Dragon to pause, swallowing back the reprimand he was about to utter.

    “Being unashamed to ask questions is a quality a strong person should have.

    You’re doing well.”

    Ye Xuan smiled and nodded, then stood up from his seat and walked toward an iron post, prompting Zhang Xiaoqiang to suddenly look up with grateful eyes, and he quickly followed behind Ye Xuan.

    Such a scene naturally made the Earth Group members scramble to watch, with whispered discussions rising among them.

    “Didn’t see that coming, that kid Zhang Xiaoqiang has quite the guts to go and disturb Guest Elder Ye.”

    “You don’t understand.

    Xiaoqiang has always been very diligent in his cultivation, just without any progress.

    He is taking a risk in desperation.”

    “If you ask me, Xiaoqiang’s effort is in vain.

    Cultivation is a matter of gradual progression.

    Even though Mr.

    Ye’s cultivation is terrifying, how much can he really improve Xiaoqiang’s martial arts?”

    Various opinions arose, and at this time Zhang Xiaoqiang felt his cheeks burning with shame as he heard them, but the determined look in his eyes remained unchanged.

    A single iron post, cast from fine iron, its hardness was naturally extraordinary.

    “Strike this iron post with all your strength,” Ye Xuan called back to Zhang Xiaoqiang.

    “Yes, Mr.

    Ye.”

    Zhang Xiaoqiang focused his mind and calmed his qi, disregarding the remarks of the surrounding people.

    After a dozen breaths, feeling himself at his peak condition, he transformed his palm into a fist and fiercely struck the iron post.

    Bang!

    There was a muffled sound, and the iron post shook slightly, emitting a humming noise, leaving not even a mark from his fist, causing Zhang Xiaoqiang to hang his head in embarrassment.

    “Feet are the roots connected to the earth, the body must be as unmoving as a mountain, the spine like a mighty dragon, the blood and qi like a vast ocean.

    Use your waist to lead your hips, your hips to lead your arms, your arms to lead your fists.

    Consolidate all the blood and qi in your body into one point.

    When you strike with your fist, you must have the belief that you are invincible.”

    It was as if the bell at dawn and the drum at dusk were ringing, like the light of dawn was assaulting him.

    When Ye Xuan spoke, Zhang Xiaoqiang’s face froze, and a look of bafflement appeared in his eyes, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

    A full ten minutes passed, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had not moved an inch, while the disdainful looks of the Earth Group members watching became apparent; they were about to disperse, believing it to be a lost cause.

    “Ha!”

    Suddenly!

    Zhang Xiaoqiang’s eyes snapped open, a sharp light flashed across them, and with a loud shout from his mouth, he once again transformed his palm into a fist.

    His fist radiance was like a dazzling meteor, furiously striking towards the iron post in front of him.

    Thud!

    Fist met iron without a peculiar sound, and just when the crowd shook their heads in disappointment and were about to disperse, an extremely faint crackling sound came from within the post, making the watching Earth Group members’ eyes widen in disbelief at the scene before them.

    The fine iron cast post started to crack like a spider’s web, large chunks of iron continuously fell to the ground, until a resounding boom was heard.

    The iron post suddenly burst apart into fragments, the dazzling iron shards scattering on the ground as though they were trying to make it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

    Silence, a deathly silence.

    Not a single sound was heard in the entire Earth Group Martial Arts Arena.

    It took a dozen breaths before the stunned Earth Group members burst out in uproar and hurried to Zhang Xiaoqiang’s side, touching him all over as if he were some rare treasure.

    “Xiaoqiang...

    no...

    Zhang Xiaoqiang...

    did you really do this?” asked one of the Earth Group members in amazement.

    “How...

    how is this possible?”

    “Zhang Xiaoqiang only has Dark Force cultivation, how could he break an iron post?”

    Noisy discussions abounded, and Zhang Xiaoqiang himself stood there foolishly looking at the scattered iron pieces on the ground.

    He continuously touched his own palms as if in a daze.

    “Mr.

    Ye...

    Thank you...

    Thank you.”

    Zhang Xiaoqiang finally snapped out of his stupor, tears of extreme joy streaming down his face as he knelt before Ye Xuan, continuously kowtowing in gratitude.

    At this moment, the others finally realized what had occurred, and their looks toward Ye Xuan conveyed warm enthusiasm.

    Some were even itching to approach Ye Xuan for guidance.

    Unfortunately, before the Earth Group members could get to Ye Xuan, Azure Dragon stepped forward quickly, waving them away, and after looking at the scattered iron pieces with a shocked expression, bent forward to bow to Ye Xuan, saying, “Mr.

    Ye, Azure Dragon was ignorant before.

    I offer you my apology now.”
