An extremely cold voice came from a distance, and then Xiao Tian's figure appeared between the two groups.
"Brother Tian, you're back. They…"
When Xun'er saw Xiao Tian appear, the frost on her face instantly vanished, replaced by a gentle and charming expression. She knew her Brother Tian was back, and everything would be fine.
"Xun'er, let me handle this."
Xiao Tian turned his head to look at Xun'er, the chill on his face transforming into a gentle smile. He stroked Xun'er's head.
"Okay~"
Xun'er obediently responded and took a few steps back to stand beside Xiao Yu.
Xiao Tian turned his head and looked at Fu Ao expressionlessly. "Come, let me see what your wrath looks like."
This person in front of him had touched his reverse scale, and Xiao Tian's reverse scale was his women and closest relatives.
A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it, and you die.
"Since you're so eager to embarrass yourself in front of them, I'll grant your wish. Let me show you what a Dou Ling expert is. I'm not some half-baked amateur like Luo Hou."
Fu Ao roared, and the aura of a three-star Dou Ling burst forth. Powerful energy surged out from his body.
"Sea Spirit Fist."
He stomped the ground, charging at Xiao Tian like a crazed beast, his fist carrying fierce momentum. His fist and body generated strong Dou Qi currents, and the surrounding people felt a powerful oppressive force, involuntarily stepping back half a pace.
"Is this the strength of a three-star Dou Ling? It really is powerful."
The surrounding people exclaimed, feeling the oppressive force from Fu Ao.
However, Xiao Tian remained standing in place, his expression not changing in the slightest.
"Haha, die, Xiao Tian!"
Fu Ao charged directly in front of Xiao Tian, his fist glowing blue as he aimed a punch at Xiao Tian's face.
At that instant, Xiao Tian moved. He lightly raised his arm, which carried a powerful force. With a gentle wave, an invisible energy burst from Xiao Tian's hand, directly hitting Fu Ao.
Fu Ao's entire strength instantly dissipated. His body, struck by the invisible energy, flew backward uncontrollably.
Xiao Tian didn't pause. He took a step with his right foot and reappeared behind the flying Fu Ao, kicking his body like a soccer ball. Then Xiao Tian's body reappeared behind him again, delivering another kick. The man was kicked back and forth like a soccer ball. After Xiao Tian had kicked him seven or eight times, half of those kicks landing on his face, Fu Ao heavily crashed to the ground.
Both the Bai Gang and Boundless Gate members' mouths hung agape, unable to recover for a long time, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.
The three-star Dou Ling, who had been incredibly arrogant just moments ago, was now beaten like a dead dog. A one-sided abuse. He couldn't even retaliate, not even touching Xiao Tian's clothes.
Well, no — he had touched Xiao Tian's shoes, since several kicks had landed on his face.
Fu Ao, who had originally been rather handsome, now had a distorted face, covered in blood.
"This… what… what strength does Xiao Tian, the Gate Master, possess? A three-star Dou Ling is like a toy in his hands."
The surrounding people gasped, looking at Xiao Tian in astonishment. A hint of fear gradually rose in their hearts.
The Bai Gang members wanted to go help Fu Ao, but Xiao Tian's gaze held them in place, unable to move.
Xiao Tian slowly walked toward Fu Ao, who was lying on the ground struggling to sit up. As Xiao Tian took each step toward him, the fear in Fu Ao's eyes intensified. He was already scared out of his wits.
There was no trace of pity in Xiao Tian's eyes, only coldness. He walked up to Fu Ao and directly stepped on his head.
Thump.
Judging purely by the sound, it was a good head.
"Xiao Tian, in the academy, outside the Arena, serious injury is not allowed. How dare you attack Brother Fu Ao? I will report you to the academy!"
Bai Shan brought up the academy rules, trying to threaten Xiao Tian with them. Xiao Tian glanced at him disdainfully and ignored him.
"Say one more word, and you'll be the next one lying down."
Bai Shan was unnerved by Xiao Tian's gaze. He wanted to say something more, but he opened his mouth and no sound came out.
"Is this your wrath? With this strength, you dare to cause trouble? Who gave you the courage? Also, she is not someone a good-for-nothing like you can covet or offend. Be smarter in the future."
Xiao Tian directly kicked him in the face, knocking out half of his front teeth, which fell in a parabolic arc back in front of the Bai Gang members.
Xiao Tian's force was within the academy's rules. Even if the academy elders investigated, there would be nothing they could do. Xiao Tian had, however, added a little something given to him by Xiao Yi Xian to that last kick.
Xun'er was someone whose heart had been devoted to him since childhood. Anyone who dared to harbor ill intentions toward her deserved to die.
Xiao Tian's body instantly appeared in front of Bai Shan. He raised his hand.
"This incident was caused by you, you useless piece of trash. Don't ever appear in front of me again, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Bang.
A punch landed on Bai Shan's face. Bai Shan was instantly sent flying. He crashed to the ground, his face swelling up immediately.
"As expected of a shameless person, his skin is truly thick. My hand hurts from the impact."
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Bai Shan tilted his head and fainted on the ground. Whether he was angered unconscious or beaten unconscious was unclear.
"Take them and get out! Boundless Gate is not a place for you to run wild. If you're not convinced, you can come anytime, but things won't be so easy to settle then."
"Scram!"
The remaining Bai Gang members directly carried the two men, who were like dead dogs, and ran off, even using their most hidden movement techniques.
"Everyone, the show is over. If you don't leave, I don't mind you staying."
Hearing Xiao Tian's order to leave, the surrounding old students who had been watching the spectacle scattered and left.
"You don't want today's situation to happen again, do you?"
"No!"
The new students remembered today's events and immediately felt indignant, roaring loudly.
"Since you don't want that, then gather here tomorrow and go to the academy's Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda to cultivate."
"Yes!!!"
"Alright, you can all leave first. Ah Tai, stay."
Subsequently, the new students left, leaving only the six-person core group living there and Ah Tai in the entire hall.
"Xiao Yan Zi, you tell them about the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. Ah Tai, you relay it to the others tomorrow."
Xiao Yan told them all the precautions Elder Liu had mentioned earlier, with Xiao Tian adding any missing details.
"I didn't expect the Inner Academy to have such a treasure. No wonder the people in the Inner Academy have grown so much."
When Wu Hao heard about the effects of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, his eyes lit up. This was much more attractive than the Arena, and they didn't conflict. If he had Fire Energy, he would cultivate; if he didn't, he would go to the Arena to earn some. In his spare time, he would help manage Boundless Gate.
Wu Hao instantly planned out his future days, feeling quite pleased.
Xun'er and the others, after processing what Xiao Yan said, also showed a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
"Gate Master, how should we deal with the Bai Gang?"
Ah Tai was the only one present who was unclear about Xiao Tian's true strength.
"You're the most informed on news. Tell me about the Bai Gang's specific strength."
Xiao Tian recalled that Bai Cheng's strength should be a six-star Dou Ling.
"Yes, the Bai Gang has a total of four Dou Lings. Among them, the gang leader Bai Cheng is a six-star Dou Ling, ranked thirty-fourth on the strong ranking. The other three Dou Lings are all three-star, with strength similar to Fu Ao's earlier."
Ah Tai lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Is that so? Then there's no need to pay too much attention to the Bai Gang. If they come to cause trouble, just tell me, and I'll deal with them. With me supporting the entire Boundless Gate, you don't need to be too afraid when doing things."
Ah Tai heard Xiao Tian's words and, as if having taken a reassuring pill, nodded heavily.
