Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 8 Conflict

Xiao Bai had no idea what Ling Ying was thinking. If he had known, he would have told him not to worry, there was a character he would definitely like later.

Xiao Bai stopped talking after Shi Hao was afflicted with the Immortal-Breaking Curse and the women accompanied him to the mortal realm.

He felt a little hungry; calculating the time, he realized he hadn't eaten for almost a day and a night.

"Xun'er, come get something to eat with me. I ate the same thing as yesterday, and I'll continue the story when we get back, okay?"

"What? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Xiao Xun'er was wondering why Xiao Bai stopped talking, but upon hearing this, she stood up abruptly, feeling a little guilty. She took his hand and led him outside.

Xiao Bai originally wanted to go to the Xiao family canteen, but Xiao Xun'er disagreed and dragged him directly to Yingbinlou, the number one restaurant in Wutan City.

They ordered a whole table of dishes in one go, and even asked if it was enough, saying they would order more if not.

Xiao Bai was both amused and exasperated. This girl, did she think he was a pig? Wasn't that enough?

Looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table, none of them were ordinary. Xiao Bai touched his wallet with a pang of heartache, wondering how much of the gold coins he had accumulated over the past ten years would be left after this meal.

Xiao Xun'er picked up her chopsticks and started eating, but didn't touch them. She just rested her chin on her hands on the table and watched Xiao Bai wolf down his food with a smile.

She felt that Xiao Bai was a little different today than usual.

A hint of majesty emanated from his brows, while the two ribbons hanging down his back added a touch of freedom and unruliness.

Although she didn't know the reason, she liked it very much.

Xiao Xun'er was unaware that this was caused by the Yi Wood Direct Thunder within Xiao Bai's body.

Yi Wood Thunder is the thunder of life, the thunder of the Awakening of Insects, and the thunder of revival. It is majestic and righteous. After Xiao Bai absorbed it into his body, he unconsciously acquired a touch of majesty.

When a person possesses a special quality, even if their facial features are ordinary, they will still exude charm. Moreover, Xiao Bai's face is not ordinary. Of course, this quality must be positive.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Bai made an excuse to go out for a bit.

Xiao Xun'er obediently agreed, and a smile flashed in her eyes as she watched his departing figure.

Not long after, Xiao Bai returned and handed Xiao Xun'er a purple-gold card. The girl had given the card to the waiter when she ordered the food earlier. He gently patted her head.

"You little rascal, you've gone bad!"

"Master Wang, this way please. This restaurant's new roasted lamb is quite good; you must try it today!"

"Young Master Nuo, please. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony today."

As soon as Xiao Bai and Xun'er stepped out of the restaurant, they saw two people coming in: a young man in his early twenties dressed in fine clothes and a short, stout middle-aged man with a smiling face.

The young man and the short, stout man walked toward the restaurant while talking.

As he was speaking, he inadvertently looked up and saw Xiao Bai and Xiao Xun'er coming out of the hotel.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

"Oh? Isn't this Xiao Bai, the 'genius' of the Xiao family? Five years have passed and you still haven't broken through. What's wrong? Are you reluctant to give up the ninth level of Dou Qi?"

"That's true. Reaching the ninth level of Battle Power at the age of ten, of course one should spend a few more years reminiscing about the glory days!"

He emphasized the word "genius" in particular, and his tone became sarcastic.

"Galeino, who do you think you are? Have you forgotten how you got beaten to a pulp? A twenty-year-old was beaten to a pulp by eleven-year-old Xiao Bai, and you dare to mock him?"

Before Xiao Bai could speak, Xiao Xun'er stepped forward to protect her own.

When Galeno saw Xiao Xun'er, his eyes lit up.

"Isn't this Miss Xun'er, the jewel of the Xiao family? Indeed, she used to be formidable, but now she's just a useless piece of trash who can't break through. Who in the entire Wutan City doesn't know that the Xiao family produced a useless genius? Do I need to say it?"

"Also, Miss Xun'er, my younger brother has been talking about you ever since he met you not long ago. My brother's talent is quite good! He can at least break through to the Dou Zhe level, which is better than this good-for-nothing. What do you think about it?"

"Not good at all. I think you're asking for a beating. I didn't give you enough last time!"

Xiao Bai pulled Xun'er back and looked at Jia Lienuo expressionlessly.

Five years ago, this guy was at the ninth level of Dou Qi. He was harassing a female member of the Xiao family on the streets of Wutan City. Xiao Bai and Xun'er happened to be passing by and were seen by both sides. They couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to. Xiao Bai then beat him up. After being beaten, the guy begged for mercy repeatedly before being let go.

Unexpectedly, he started acting arrogantly again today. Xiao Bai was not surprised that Galeno could not see his cultivation level. After all, who was he using his divine soul to conceal himself from? He was guarding against Yao Lao and Ling Ying.

Someone like that probably doesn't even know what soul power is, so how can you tell what level he's at?

Even the realm of the Battle Power stage can only be discerned by those with strong soul perception; otherwise, one can only rely on the Battle Qi testing stone tablet. Galeno's claim that he is at the ninth level of Battle Power is merely a continuation of his previous understanding.

"Haha. Beat me up? You think I'm still a ninth-level Dou Qi? Look closely, I'm a six-star Dou Zhe now. Do you even know what a six-star Dou Zhe is? Oh, I almost forgot, you're still a ninth-level Dou Qi! How could you possibly know?"

After speaking, he turned to look at the short, fat man next to him.

"Wang Gongfeng, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Have you ever heard of someone with a ninth-level Dou Power being able to fight a six-star Dou Zhe?"

Wang Gongfeng was a retainer of the Jialie family, a three-star Dou Shi. Having heard of Xiao Bai's great reputation, he was happy to give this young master of the Jialie family face and said with a smile:

"Not at all, not at all, Young Master Nuo, you flatter me. I am but a humble man, having lived forty-two years in vain, and I have never heard of anyone with a ninth-level Dou Qi who could contend with a six-star Dou Zhe, let alone defeat him!"

"Haha. Did you hear that, Xiao 'Genius'!" Galeino laughed heartily.

Xiao Bai coldly watched the two of them singing and acting in unison. Xun'er looked at him with some worry, wondering if she should call Ling Ying to beat the two of them to death.

"You've truly wasted your life. You're only a three-star Dou Shi at forty-two. At the same age, you don't even deserve to look up to me!"

Xiao Bai looked at the two of them, put his hands behind his back, and said in a leisurely tone.

Ling Ying, who was not far away, immediately perked up. Here it comes! The King of Pretenders' quotes! He quickly took out paper and pen from his storage ring and wrote them down.

"You arrogant brat, how dare you insult me ​​like this!"

Wang Gongfeng's ever-smiling expression vanished, and a yellowish-brown aura robe appeared around him. He walked towards Xiao Bai without using any fighting techniques. He dared not kill Xiao Bai, after all, he was a member of the Xiao family, but he wanted to teach him a lesson.

He needs to know that on the Dou Qi Continent, the strong deserve respect. How dare a ninth-level Dou Qi master mock a three-star Dou Shi? Even if he has the Xiao family backing him up, so what? He still has the Jia Lie family behind him.

As long as they don't kill him or break his arms and legs, the Xiao family probably won't cause him too much trouble.

"How dare you!" Xun'er shouted angrily, taking a step to stand in front of Xiao Bai.

Seeing the girl in front of him, she shielded him behind her without thinking. Although he knew that the person opposite was nothing to Xun'er, Xiao Bai was still a little touched.

However, as he watched the approaching Wang Gongfeng, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He pulled Xun'er behind him, not wanting her to ruin his plans.

He had no interest in that good-for-nothing Galeno, but this three-star Dou Shi was different; he was somewhat useful to him.

If he doesn't allow the use of battle qi cultivation and divine soul power, wouldn't using those two things be a waste of time hiding them?

Since his physical body was tempered by the Yi Wood Thunder, he doesn't know how far he has progressed. He is a three-star Dou Shi, and he is of the earth attribute. It is just right to test his current physique.

As for the trouble that might follow, Xiao Bai had already weighed it up. The Jia Lie family and the Xiao family were of similar strength and posed no threat to him at the moment.

Although his cultivation level was only eight-star Dou Zhe, his soul was at the late stage of the mortal realm.
