The loud, deafening explosion had masked over Tai Yitan's own voice!
"What… What is happening?!"
Everyone could not help but stare at Chen Xiaobei with their jaw dropped to the ground.
A powerful bolt of lightning shot out from the Wrath Bolt Ring that was in Chen's palm.
The lightning spread out in a flash; like a dragon claw, and then it ca together to form a huge lightning ball that was as tall as Chen Xiaobei himself!
Effortlessly, Chen Xiaobei lifted the ball of crackling sparks. The unstable form of its nature had sent a few lighting sparks around the vicinity, causing the space around him to gain static charge. The dirt on the ground, the sand, and even the trees had started to shake violently due to the static charge. It was as if Chen Xiaobei had summoned the manifestation of a storm itself! Chen Xiaobei stood there, with the ball of lightning resting on the palm of his hands, like a god of lightning.
If that was not the epito of epicness, nothing would be.
"H-How is that possible…"
"That… Argh! Faction Leader Chen's lightning bolt is brighter, louder, stronger… It's completely superior! Beyond human capabilities!"
"What an amazing feat! Faction Leader Chen did not need the use of True Qi nor the use of other charms or magic! That's a lightning that could only be wielded by a man in the Celestial Cultivation!"
"Celestial Cultivation? That's just not possible. How could only achieve that level at such a young age? The entire Jianghu would be rattled just by that fact alone!"
"Either way, Leader Chen's Lightning Summoning Skill is superior!"
"That's right! Like a god!"
…
Hai Linbai and his 'followers' were left speechless. Neither one of them could accept the fact that Chen Xiaobei was the superior one amongst them. After all, they were making fun of Chen Xiaobei just a few minutes ago! After witnessing Chen's ability, Hai Linbai and the rest that were with him had a 180-degree change of attitude towards Chen. From teasing and mocking, they were now in fear and in awe. The worst part was that they know that Chen Xiaobei would still rember of the scorn they had towards him. With that thought in mind, their hearts skipped a beat, fearing that Chen Xiaobei might want to enact revenge.
"Woah… I never knew that sifu was ever that strong!"
Feng Qingyang, stood there, spellbound as he muttered, "Those lightning bolts… they are not the sa as the one in the sky! It is much more violent… stronger than any lightning storm! To think that sifu could conjure lightning out of thin air… What an amazing person sifu is…"
"Next! We shall witness how Tai Yitan performs!"
All eyes turned towards the man called Tai Yitan. Now that everyone has seen what Chen Xiaobei was capable of, it was ti for Tai Yitan to prove he was the better man.
The anticipation in the air grew stronger as the audience grew anxious to see their young master from Miaojiang react to the situation.
"I… I uhm…"
Being the target of the concentrated glare, Tai Yitan sighed loudly.
"I give up!"
After uttering the three disappointing words, he dispelled the lightning in his hands and hung his head in sha.
"Did I hear it wrong? Did he just say he gave up?"
Everyone gasped in shock.
"How could this be?! Tai Yitan, the number one genius in all of China, giving up?! It is the Divine Lightning against a Lightning Summoning Skill! How could Tai Yitan lose?!"
"Earlier, Tai Yitan's dominant presence could put everyone in shock. Considering that his aura was so powerful, how was it possible that he could not co up with the courage to face Chen Xiaobei's attack?"
"Oh man… This is too awkward to watch. Leader Chen Xiaobei had agreed to have face-off with Tai Yitan! Looks like Tai Yitan gave up even before he took one hit!"
"Wait. Let's not jump to conclusions that quickly. Tai Yitan's Divine Lightning could kill every single person right here! However, Faction Leader Chen's lightning was far stronger than his! It could be disastrous!"
"That must be it!"
…
Everyone threw their own speculation into the pot. Despite having different opinions, they all shared one similarity; Tai Yitan was strong but Chen Xiaobei was stronger!
There was no other option for Tai Yitan Yitan besides giving up. However, being the man he was, Tai Yitan did not put up a scene. He did not give any excuse for his failure nor did he tried to sche a coback. The man accepted his failure with dignity and stood tall.
That sort of willingness to accept one's defeat was rare and was much better than those people who put on a fake smile and plot for revenge. Be it person or a ghost, Chen Xiaobei had the ability to see into soone clearly. As such, Chen Xiaobei had no plans to seek further actions against Tai Yitan.
However!
The other two guys… Those two must be punished!
Chen Xiaobei grinned and dispelled the lightning that was in his hands. He then turned to Teng Niu and said, "Hey big guy, you still think I'm faking it?"
"Wha- No! No no no no no no no! You've misheard ! It's not faking cool! It's freaking cool!"
Teng Niu imdiately shook his head nervously as he tried to deny and cover up his mistake. The young master of his faction had given up, what more could he do?
"What do you have to say about this match? What can you say? Except for fake flattery?" said Chen Xiaobei.
"No… No…" Teng Niu continued to shake his head in denial. "Faction Leader Chen's lightning skill is the best! It's the truth! The master amongst masters! It's a privilege to have you contesting with my young master…"
"Hohoho… Your attitude seems to be improving. Alright. I'm in a good mood now. We are no longer in any disagreent."
"Thank you! Thank you! Leader Chen's lesson will be rembered for the rest of my life!" Teng Niu nodded his head as he thanked Chen. The thing was his face was practically glowing with red underneath his cloak. The kind of red when one eats the world's hottest chili!
Chen Xiaobei turned away from him and walked towards Hai Linbai.
The crowd of people imdiately shrunk to a corner; like a tiger cornering a mouse.
"Are you Hai Linbai, the man who was ranked 9th in the previous Heroes of War Leaderboard?" asked Chen Xiaobei coolly.
"Ahh. I'm nothing as the na implies. Leader Chen Xiaobei, you may just address this lowly man as Little Hai," said Hai Linbai like a grandson to his grandfather.
Even if there were hundreds of followers, Hai Linbai would not dare to put on a tough act in front of Chen. From Chen's perspective, the man was nothing but a joke.
"Is that right. Little Hai was it? My car… from the factory… You ordered soone to stage a crash, didn't you?" Chen Xiaobei interrogated.
"… Yes… Little Hai is wrong… Little Hai will now make it right!"
With sweat dripping down from his forehead, Hai Linbai pulled out his cellphone and made a call.
"Faction Leader Chen! It is done! Little Hai will guarantee you that the road will never have a traffic!" said Hai Linbai after he was done with his cellphone.
"Is that right? Well… Since it is done, I'll won't think much about. However—!" said Chen.
Hai Linbai was only about to relax when all his muscle tensed up again.
"I seemingly recalled sothing back there. You and your lot was mocking . I cannot allow that to pass. What do you think I should do?" said Chen, toneless.
"Erhm…"
Hai Linbai started to tremble. Blood was drained from his face as he asked with his voice shaking violently, "Shall I have my n and I to slap ourselves?"
Chen Xiaobei imdiately grinned and said, "Oh! You would do that? Well, here I am thinking that you all should just apologize. But, since you insist on doing that, please do so! Don't forget to make it sincere. I don't like dishonest n."
Chen Xiaobei shrugged then and crossed his arms, waiting for Hai Linbai to execute his own punishnt.
At that mont, when Hai Linbai turned around to face his own n, they were all frowning and so had even cried! Why would Hai Linbai offer a punishnt like that?
However, what had been said cannot be retracted. Without delay, they started to raise their own hand and slapped themselves across the face. As they did, they were scolding, and even cursing their own stupid self for even trying to belittle Chen Xiaobei!
Ding!
At that mont, Chen's cell phone rang! It was a notification from the Red Envelope Group!
