Ye Xiao looked up at Cui Ji, a gentle smile appeared on his face!

"She has nothing to do with me, you might as well spill out all your intentions directly, I don't have that much time to idle chat with you!" Ye Xiao told Cui Ji!

Cui Ji was not angry because of Ye Xiao's words, instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, since you prefer straightforwardness, I'll get straight to the point — someone wants to meet you!"

"Meet me?" Ye Xiao said, "I'm not familiar with you, let alone the people you know, so you better leave quickly; I have no time to meet this so-called person you're talking about!"

"You better watch your words. In the Martial Arts World, the strong are respected. You are stronger than me, but you should be aware that there are many martial artists stronger than you in this world. Therefore, I advise you to come with me, otherwise, your time at school won't be stable at all!" Cui Ji said!

Ye Xiao observed that Cui Ji was speaking lightly but wasn't joking at all. Cui Ji had a point, in the Martial Arts World, the strong are respected. However, now Cui Ji was speaking without any reverence, which indicated everything — behind Cui Ji was certainly someone with extraordinary strength, only Ye Xiao had not yet met them!

Seeing that Ye Xiao remained silent, Cui Ji immediately continued, "What do you think? Still hesitating?"

Ye Xiao asked, "Where is he?"

Ye Xiao's sole purpose now was to protect Ling Shuya; hence, all he hoped for was that the school would remain safe and that he could focus on protecting Ling Shuya. In this way, the two years would pass quickly, and he could finally find out who his parents were!

However, if Cui Ji caused trouble, not to mention anything else, if Ling Shuya got hurt, then his goal would be unachievable!

Seeing that Ye Xiao had agreed to meet, Cui Ji immediately said, "Of course not here, follow me!"

After saying that, Cui Ji's figure swayed and he left the spot, running at a rapid pace!

Seeing Cui Ji move, Ye Xiao instantly started moving too and began running rapidly after Cui Ji!

The main conditions for a Martial Artist's strength are inherent power, speed, and defense, among which, speed is the most commendable; because when a person's speed reaches the highest level, it appears as if dozens of punches are thrown before the opponent even realizes who struck them!

Ye Xiao followed Cui Ji, quickly left the school, and moved rapidly towards the eastern part of Minghai Academy. If someone were to measure their speed at that moment, they would be extremely surprised because their speed was much faster than those of sports champions!

In less than ten minutes, Ye Xiao and Cui Ji arrived at the edge of the road in the East Ring, in front of them was an abandoned chemical factory!

Cui Ji strode into the chemical factory, and Ye Xiao immediately followed. As the saying goes, the skilled are brave, and Ye Xiao was very confident in his strength!

However, as soon as Ye Xiao walked through the iron gate of the chemical factory, a bright, gleaming long knife chopped directly towards his head!

Ye Xiao dodged away swiftly like a ghost, and it was then that he noticed, there were five people here, including Cui Ji, all capable of using Inner Power True Qi; the faintly visible True Qi around their bodies was the best proof!

"Ha ha, truly a master, nephew, it seems you did not deceive me at all!" An approximately forty-year-old man laughed heartily at Cui Ji!

Cui Ji immediately bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man and said, "Master Uncle, how dare I deceive you? This brash youngster has been told of your prowess, yet he still dared to come here, insisting on challenging you, Master Uncle!"

The middle-aged man was dressed shabbily, and at first glance, one might think he was a beggar, but Ye Xiao could deeply sense that this middle-aged man was the strongest among those present!

Hearing Cui Ji's words, Ye Xiao understood that Cui Ji had lured him here to have this man kill him. Perhaps, this man did not even know what Cui Ji had done, but since he was Cui Ji's master uncle, even if Ye Xiao tried to explain, he probably wouldn't believe anything Ye Xiao said!

"Ha ha, good lad, so arrogant, thinking you're a big-shot martial artist and looking down on everyone; passing through this area, didn't you think to first pay a visit to the Minghai Martial Arts Association?" The middle-aged man's face was smiling, but there was still some reproach in his words!

Minghai Martial Arts Association?

Ye Xiao had once heard his master say that there were Martial Arts Associations everywhere, and Martial Artists should generally keep a low profile when visiting a place; otherwise, they must first visit the local Martial Arts Association, for the local association would consider it disrespectful if the Martial Artists did not!

Facing this middle-aged man, Ye Xiao performed a courtesy bow and said, "This junior truly does not know where the Minghai Martial Arts Association is located, hence I did not visit to pay my respects. I hope for your understanding. However, I do not know who the senior is..."

Cui Ji immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, don't pretend to be polite here. Let me tell you, this is Elder Wang Dexin of the Minghai Martial Arts Association, and of course, he is also my Master Uncle. You have been disrespectful with your words to my Master Uncle, which I could not be bothered to repeat. And you still think of challenging him? I want to see today how you can possibly defeat my Master Wang!"

Ye Xiao immediately responded, "Senior Wang, this junior had no intention of offending you, nor did I wish to challenge you. Please do not fall for the schemes of the manipulative!"

"Hmph, Ye Xiao, you call yourself a man yet you don't acknowledge your own words!" Cui Ji blurted out as if it were true, and then turning to Wang Dexin, he said, "Master Wang, I cannot stand by and watch this. Let me fight him first to wear him down a bit!"

Upon hearing Cui Ji's words, Wang Dexin's eyes widened, and he angrily exclaimed, "Nephew Cui Ji, how disrespectful of you! Do I need you to wear him down before I can take action? Stand aside, let me test the mettle of this audacious fool!"

As soon as Wang Dexin finished speaking, his figure flickered, and his slightly overweight body quickly rushed towards Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao dared not be careless. Although he could not tell from Wang Dexin's appearance what his strength was, since Cui Ji addressed him as Master Uncle, Wang Dexin surely possessed extraordinary abilities!

Both of Wang Dexin's hands glowed faintly with True Qi, clearly due to his robust Inner Power True Qi. This also implied that Wang Dexin's strength was indeed not low. Wang Dexin approached with a combination of kicks and punches toward Ye Xiao, who dared not take them head-on but fortunately had cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which gave him thicker Inner Strength among his peers, hence he was also quite fast. Wang Dexin's consecutive three moves were all dodged by Ye Xiao!

With a relaxed expression on his face, Wang Dexin attacked Ye Xiao with rapid hand movements. Under the fierce assault, although Ye Xiao had opportunities to counter, he chose not to and mostly dodged. Martial Artists often do not employ their trump Cultivation Techniques at the start, thus Wang Dexin also didn't use any Inner Power in his straightforward kicks and punches!

Both Ye Xiao and Wang Dexin were fast, and although they fought for a while, neither could land a touch on the other!

At first, Wang Dexin was very relaxed. As he saw it, there was no need for him to take action against a mere child like Ye Xiao. However, since even a talented youth like Cui Ji recognized him as a formidable opponent, Wang Dexin wanted to test Ye Xiao's true capability. Unexpectedly, after more than a dozen moves, he couldn't touch Ye Xiao's body at all; Ye Xiao was as slippery as a loach, which puzzled Wang Dexin a great deal. After all, he was nearly a Xuan Ranked master, one of the top three most powerful individuals in Minghai City. Yet now, without using any Inner Power Martial Arts, he couldn't touch this young whippersnapper!

Wang Dexin, also conscious of his prestige, had several disciples including Nephew Cui Ji present. If this continued, how could he retain his dignity?

Suddenly, Wang Dexin's Inner Strength surged, his fists transformed into palms, and a flame-like red glow appeared at the center of his palm, which he then swiftly slapped towards Ye Xiao!

Caught by surprise, Ye Xiao thought, "It's Fire Heart Palm!"

Ye Xiao had seen Fire Heart Palm in the Scripture Pavilion on Qiu Mountain. Although it was a low-level Cultivation Technique, when mastered, it could burn a low-grade Martial Artist alive with the fire from the palm!

Ye Xiao swiftly retreated, moving like a kite with its string cut, but Wang Dexin followed closely!

By that time, Ye Xiao had already gathered his Nine Yang True Qi and was protected by True Qi, but as he had only reached the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he dared not directly receive the palm from Wang Dexin. However, Ye Xiao remembered something; the main reason he had chosen the Nine Yang Divine Skill was a particular statement: Once the Nine Yang Divine Skill was mastered, all the martial arts of the world could be adopted immediately upon demonstration!

That meant, once Ye Xiao mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he could instantly use any martial arts technique demonstrated before him without needing to practice it!

But currently, Ye Xiao's Nine Yang Divine Skill had only reached the second level. Unsure if it would work, Ye Xiao recalled the illustrations of Fire Demolishing Palm, and swiftly began to emulate the moves from those illustrations!

Ye Xiao channeled his Nine Yang True Qi rapidly towards his right hand, and immediately, flames actually appeared in his palm center, although smaller, but not dissimilar to the flames in Wang Dexin's hand!

Ye Xiao wondered in his mind if the strength of the martial arts techniques in this world was directly related to the Martial Artist's Inner Strength. Could even the most garbage techniques unleash earth-shattering power if one's Inner Strength was substantial?

Reflecting on this, Ye Xiao marveled at the miraculous might of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and at that moment, Wang Dexin's Fire Demolishing Palm was already in front of him. This time, Ye Xiao no longer dodged and directly countered with his Fire Demolishing Palm!
