Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

silence.

A deathly silence.

In front of the teaching building, everyone stared blankly at the headless monster's corpse that had crashed to the ground, and the handsome man standing beside it.

What just happened?

Did a teacher from the school intervene?

Wait, that face... it looks so young!

"It's him! It's Yang Xian!"

"That prodigy who mastered three divine-level cultivation techniques in one go!"

Someone in the crowd recognized him and exclaimed in surprise.

"One strike... just one strike and he instantly killed a peak third-realm demon? That's terrifying strength!"

"Even Luo Bingyan, the strongest sophomore, didn't handle a peak-stage third-realm demon this easily, right? Is this guy even human?"

All eyes were once again focused on Yang Xian, their eyes filled with shock, admiration, and a hint of awe.

If before, Yang Xian was just a legendary "theoretical genius" in their hearts, now they have all been completely conquered by Yang Xian's strength.

After a brief moment of shock, the students of Chengwu University erupted in a thunderous cheer.

"Well done! Yang Xian is awesome!"

"Well done! We Chinese martial artists have finally gotten our revenge!"

"That's right! This is the true spirit of Chinese martial artists! What a load of bull! The Exorcism Cult is nothing but a fart in front of our Great God Yang Xian!"

Everyone felt a surge of pride and satisfaction.

Yang Xian's clean and decisive strike was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to Kaden.

I used to think that a high-achieving girl like Senior Luo would never fall for an unknown freshman. Now I understand, and I'm not jealous at all!

Only someone as extraordinary as her is worthy of Senior Luo.

"Waaaaah, this is what a real hero saves the damsel in distress looks like! Look, Xu Huanhuan has practically thrown herself into his arms!"

"Oh no, if Senior Luo sees this, Yang Xian will be kneeling on a washboard when he gets home!"

In fact, even if Luo Bingyan really found out, she probably wouldn't have a big reaction.

Yang Xian, however, paid no attention to the surrounding chatter, looking down at the twin-tailed girl clinging to him:

"Have you hugged enough? There are so many people watching, get up now!"

He didn't believe that Xu Huanhuan could be in any trouble.

In fact, even if Yang Xian hadn't arrived, Xu Huanhuan would have had ways to get Xia Ming out safely.

"I won't get up, I won't get up!" Xu Huanhuan not only didn't let go, but hugged Yang Xian's waist even tighter:

"I was really scared just now, my legs went weak and I couldn't stand up."

"If you have the guts, then push me away in front of everyone, you poor, helpless woman."

Yang Xian was truly impressed by her.

Just as the two were struggling, an angry roar came from not far away.

"You! You rude and uncivilized barbarian!"

Carden stumbled over, pointing at Yang Xian's nose and shouting:

"Who gave you permission to kill my 'battle pet'! Who gave you the audacity!"

"Do you know how much effort I've put into raising it? Can you afford to compensate me?!"

Yang Xian had no choice but to hold the girl in his arms for now, then glanced at Kaden and said, "That monster has gone out of control and is attacking anyone it sees. If I don't kill it, am I supposed to keep it around for the New Year?"

"Nonsense!" Kaden retorted without hesitation. "My 'battle pet' is perfectly obedient! It hasn't gone out of control at all!"

"It just wants to teach you arrogant martial artists a small lesson!"

He paused, then raised his voice a few decibels:

"Besides! Did it attack anyone just now?"

"No way! Since no one has been hurt, what makes you think it's out of control? And what makes you think you can kill it?"

This absurd and illogical argument made Yang Xian laugh in anger.

Since the monster hasn't attacked anyone yet, we can't intervene to stop it?

What kind of absurd logic is this?

Must we wait until bloodshed and heavy casualties occur before it can be considered "legitimate self-defense"?

By then, it will be too late!

Reasoning with this kind of brain-dead guy is useless.

Yang Xian decided to use magic to defeat magic.

"Oh?" Yang Xian raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "You mean, your 'battle pet' has been obeying your commands the whole time and hasn't gone out of control?"

"Of course!" Carden answered instinctively.

"So that means..." Yang Xian's expression turned sharp, "You deliberately had your 'dog' pretend to go crazy so you could find an excuse to attack the students of Chengwu University?"

"This was all planned by you! You wanted to deliberately stir up trouble on our turf, didn't you?"

Carden's breath hitched, and he was completely stunned.

He discovered that he had fallen into a linguistic trap from which he could not escape.

If he denies Yang Xian's words and says that his monsters are really out of control, it would be tantamount to admitting in front of everyone that he is inferior in skill and cannot even control his own "battle pets".

This is not only a disgrace to himself, but also to the entire exorcism cult!

But if he admits...

If one admits that they deliberately provoked the conflict and intentionally caused bloodshed in an ally's school, then the nature of the problem changes completely.

This is no longer a simple personal dispute, but a serious diplomatic incident!

No matter how he answers, it's wrong.

Whichever side he chooses, he will be plunged into an abyss of no return.

It's like turning a single thread into two blocked ends.

The surrounding students also understood the underlying meaning, and their gazes towards Carden were filled with contempt and anger:

"So that's how it is! This guy did it on purpose!"

"How could they be so cruel! They actually wanted to go on a killing spree in our school!"

"The Exorcism Cult sent scum like this to support us? Pah!"

Feeling the gazes around him, Carden completely lost face:

"I don't care!!"

"I don't care about all that nonsense you're saying!"

"Since you killed my 'battle pet' today, you must kneel down and apologize to me!"

After his hysterical roar, he gave orders to the two remaining scorpion monsters.

"Attack him! Tear him to pieces!"

"Hiss...!"

Upon receiving the command, the two scorpion demons immediately locked onto Yang Xian with their compound eyes, raised their eerie tail hooks high, and transformed into two black shadows as they charged forward.

Seeing all this, Xu Huanhuan in Yang Xian's arms was not afraid at all; instead, she excitedly showed her two little tiger teeth.

Hehe, this is going to be even more fun!

Yang Xian looked speechless.

"Make a move?"

"What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"My favorite thing to do is take action!"

P.S.: Thank you to the boss "亭亭玉立的斯夫拉" for the "Master Certification," which is an extra chapter. This is the first time I've received such a big gift. I also want to thank the other readers for their gifts, but small gifts are enough. It's better to spend the money on yourself.
