Chapter 4 The Poor Ant

  Everyone present looked towards the gate of the square, at this time two young men walked into the square with a group of servants and maids, with an air of dignity.

  The two young men were both dressed in armor, majestic and powerful, with the air of a great general, and they looked handsome and elegant.

  "What a magnificent golden armor the Crown Prince is wearing!"

  "I heard that Da Shizi has cultivated to the seventh major realm of the Divine Body Secret Realm, and now in the army, he is also a brilliant military general, making the enemy forces tremble with fear!"

  "The second son is also formidable, having cultivated to the sixth level of the Divine Body Secret Realm's Golden Body Realm. He is a battle maniac who loves fighting as much as his life and becomes more courageous with each battle!"

  "When can we reach such heights?"

  Two young men appeared, instantly causing countless people to discuss. Xiao Ling's gaze also fell on the two young men, with a fiery light flashing in his eyes.

  These two young men, he was extremely clear that the youth wearing a suit of golden armor, with a calm face and having the air of a great general, was Xiao Bo, the eldest son of Qi Yun Hou.

  Wearing a suit of silver armor, with fierce eyes and emitting intense battle intent, the young man named Xiao Zhan, the youngest son of Qi Yunhou, was born with boundless strength and had a passion for war that rivaled his own life!

  These two people are extremely talented, Xiao Bo reached the seventh major realm of the Divine Body Secret Realm at the age of 25, and Xiao Zhan reached the sixth heavy golden body realm of the Divine Body Secret Realm at the age of 23.

  At this speed, it's enough to be called a genius. However, this is also because of the family's deep foundation and sufficient resources for them to squander, otherwise, for a house servant like Xiao Ling, wanting to break through to the Golden Body Realm would be extremely difficult, and one misstep could lead to walking into demonic possession.

  Xiao Ling was impacted by the Golden Body Boundary and went mad, his cultivation was destroyed in an instant. If it wasn't for the great opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Carefree Saint, he might never have had a chance to turn things around again.

  Now, Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhan are the first objects that Xiao Ling wants to surpass and conquer. If it were in the past, even if he was arrogant, he would not challenge such an authoritative existence, after all, they are the princes.

  But now Xiao Ling's worldview is different, so what he does is also different.

  Thoughts determine behavior!

  Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhan both sat on the two small chairs beside the huge throne with a cold expression, these small chairs also showed their status.

  "The Marquis has arrived!"

  A shrill voice rang out, and a servant loudly relayed the message. Everyone present immediately fell silent, their expressions becoming extremely respectful.

  He wore a white robe, and his majestic aura was awe-inspiring as he strode up to the throne with large steps. With a wave of his long gown, he sat down, exuding an air of superiority.

  "Long live Lord Qiyun for a thousand years, a thousand times a thousand years!" Everyone present knelt down and shouted respectfully.

  "With a wave of his hand, Qi Yunhou had an air of majesty, his deep and powerful voice said: 'Everyone, dispense with the formalities. Today is the annual family gathering of the Qi Yunhou estate. This family gathering will follow the usual rules, with a martial arts competition and announcements of important events. Let's start with the martial arts competition first!'"

  Qī Yún Hòu's words were simple, and afterwards he handed everything over to the general manager, Xiāo Shǎng. Xiāo Shǎng walked onto the stage, his aged voice strong and powerful as he said: "For the splendor of this family gathering, the first match will be between Xī surname household servant Xiāo Měng and Xiāo Zhōu!"

  Xiao Xuan announced that he had finished, and a burst of applause erupted from the scene. Two young men took to the stage one after another.

  Xiao Meng and Xiao Zhou were almost evenly matched in terms of strength, both being at the fourth level of the Divine Body Secret Realm. However, although their levels were the same, this didn't necessarily mean anything.

  A person's combat power is determined by the cultivator's ability to understand martial arts and their fighting experience. With good use of martial arts, one can gain an absolute advantage!

  Xiao Meng and Xiao Zhou stepped onto the stage, exchanged a few harsh words, and then clashed. Xiao Meng was incredibly fierce, while Xiao Zhou was extremely agile, also surpassing Xiao Meng in martial arts skills.

  So, in a fight that lasted less than a moment, Xiao Meng fell into a disadvantage and was pressed down by Xiao Zhou, finally being punched off the stage by Xiao Zhou.

  "The first match, Xiao Zhou wins!" Xiao Xiang's voice was loud and clear, "Anyone who can win will receive a generous reward. Next match, Xiao Ling, Xiao Ya!"

  It's unclear whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, but Xiao Ling actually met Xiao Ya in the second round.

  Xiao Ya's face revealed a ferocious smile, looking at Xiao Ling beside him, coldly laughing repeatedly, "It's really heaven's will, see if I don't completely destroy this waste today, I'll trample you under my feet and make you crawl like a dog!"

  "Then give it a try!" Xiao Ling said with the same phrase, then walked up onto the stage very easily.

  Everyone present knew that Xiao Ling was already a useless person, and now Xiao Ya had spoken such harsh words, yet Xiao Ling remained so calm and composed, they all thought Xiao Ling was too good at pretending to be tough.

  "Look, Xiao Ling is now even worse than an ordinary person. Xiao Ya can bully him at will! It's really a bargain for Xiao Ya!"

  "That's right! At first, Xiao Ling was proud of himself as a peerless genius, looking down on everyone, but today he's got a bitter pill to swallow!"

  "Hum! A useless person is still so pretentious!"

  。。。。。。

  For a moment, there were many different opinions, but Xiao Ling didn't care at all, because he would use his actions to shut everyone's mouths!

  Xiao Qi Yun looked at Xiao Ling on the stage, and a hint of regret also appeared in his eyes. However, it was fleeting, because it was already a done deal, and Xiao Ling had no value anymore!

  "Kneel down now and beg for mercy, or I might go easy on you later. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!" Xiao Ya sneered, looking at Xiao Ling who was about to be beaten by her own hands, feeling utterly delighted in her heart.

  "Is that so?" Xiao Ling remained calm and composed. "I'll give you a chance, kneel down and admit your mistake now, maybe I can let you suffer less!"

  "Haha!" Xiao Ya seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke in the world and burst out laughing, "What? Did I hear that wrong? You want me to kneel down? Do you still have the qualifications to speak?"

  Xiao Ya's face turned gloomy and he said coldly: "Just for what you said earlier, today I will make you wish you were dead!"

  Xiao Ya let out a loud roar, his fists clenched tightly together, not giving Xiao Ling any chance to react. His fists fiercely pounded towards Xiao Ling's chest.

  Xiao Ling is now a waste of a person, and one waste of a person can't even block his attack, nor do they have the speed to dodge it. It's an absolute hit.

  The situation was almost exactly as Xiao Ya had imagined, and Xiao Ling couldn't dodge in time. His fists heavily pounded against Xiao Ling's chest, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

  "Xiao Ya's blow was so ruthless, Xiao Ling is done for!"

  "Although I couldn't personally roll it, just watching is satisfying, haha..."

  Many people have no doubt that Xiao Ling will definitely be abused miserably!

  But just as Xiao Ya's smile had barely appeared on her face, it had already stiffened!

  "Bang!"

  Two fists slammed onto Xiao Ling's chest, but not only did he not flinch, he also emitted a clear and crisp metallic collision sound that echoed throughout the entire square!

  Everyone present heard this voice, and their whole body trembled, they were all stunned, and no one dared to believe their eyes, nor did they dare to believe their ears.

  What does the metallic sound represent?

  Everyone knows this, representing a body of copper skin and iron bones, cultivating to the Golden Body Realm!

  Xiao Ya obviously didn't cultivate it successfully, so the only possibility is Xiao Ling!

  Under the gaze of everyone's utmost shock, Xiao Ling spoke up, his voice calm but with an aura that was overwhelming, "No matter when or where, you are just a pathetic ant, I can crush you to death anytime!"

  "Bang!"

  Xiao Ling's words had just fallen when, accompanied by a crashing sound and Xiao Ya's pained cry, Xiao Ya was already slapped down from the stage by Xiao Ling with a casual slap!
