Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

The training ground fell silent for a moment.

Everyone stared blankly at Shen You. No one could have imagined that this apprentice in blue robes would injure an old man in the hospital with a single palm strike on his very first day there.

It should be noted that Shi Jie already possessed the strength of a mid-stage second-rank cultivator.

And this Shen You, no matter how you look at it, is only a first-rank official!

He was a whole realm below Shi Jie, and defeated him with a single palm strike.

Even if it was a sneak attack, the result is truly astonishing!

"Tsk!"

Shen You pouted, looking at her palm with some dissatisfaction.

After all, this was his first time using the "Golden Snake Hand," and he lacked proficiency. Although he incorporated some "momentum" into his technique, he failed to achieve the "Golden Snake Moment" as he had envisioned.

That last strike was at most a "Golden Snake Hand" attack carrying a murderous intent. Although it was quite powerful, it ultimately failed to kill Shi Jie in one blow.

At this moment, Shi Jie was lying there, still spitting out mouthfuls of blood. No matter how you looked at it, he wouldn't die anytime soon.

"I can still let him live, I guess I'm still too soft-hearted!" Shen You sighed.

Behind them, Song Zhiqing stepped forward, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Junior Brother Shen You, why are you so unwise? By launching a sneak attack in public, aren't you putting yourself in an unjust position?"

"He snatched my steamed bun first!" Shen You sneered, glancing at Song Zhiqing casually.

To retract what I said earlier, although this second senior brother was exceptional in temperament, speech, and appearance, and was a standard elegant young nobleman, he lacked a certain breadth of vision.

"He's not as good as me!" Shen You thought to herself.

Beside Song Zhiqing, Yao Shan clasped his fists together, rubbing them together with a cracking sound, his face completely grim.

"I didn't expect there to actually be a disciple in blue robes in this courtyard who dared to disrespect me and my second junior brother, and even tried to attack us right in front of us..."

"Kid..."

He growled menacingly:

"You asked for this!"

As he spoke, he strode forward and approached Shen You.

Beside Shen You, Tian Yi'er anxiously reached out and tugged at Shen You's arm: "Brother Shen, please apologize to your senior brothers. You were just confused in anger, you didn't mean to hurt anyone..."

"I think you're the one who's confused!"

Shen You gave him a cold glance. "When have I ever apologized to anyone?"

"Brother Shen..." Tian Yi'er cried anxiously.

"Kid, you'd better take this punch!"

Yao Shan slowly clenched his fist, and a solid, bear-like phantom flickered around his body. A heavy and fierce aura, like a mountain, crashed down on him. The terrifying pressure made Shen You's body tense, and she could barely breathe.

"It's the 'Savage Bear Strength,' and Senior Brother's 'Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist' is becoming increasingly refined!"

People around them praised it.

Sweat dripped from Shen You's forehead.

Unlike Wang Long's "Black Tiger Force", this time it was Yao Shan, a third-rank martial artist, who used the "Wild Bear Force". The power, momentum and sense of oppression were incomparable!

Shen You gritted her teeth and shouted angrily:

Come on!

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"Let's see if that old devil Huang will let you off the hook!"

"What did you say?!" Yao Shan's expression changed.

This time, even his eyes gradually turned red, transforming him into a ferocious bear-like figure. He uttered each word with a savage glint in his eyes:

"Your name is Teacher Huang... What?!"

Shen You raised an eyebrow, only then realizing that Yao Shan actually showed Huang Yaoshi unusual respect.

Shen You showed no fear and sneered, "I call him Old Ghost Huang, you old bastard, you old codger, so what?!"

Shen You had already said these words to Huang Yaoshi's face, so he felt no psychological pressure saying them now.

Yao Shan was so angry he almost twisted his nose out of shape, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.

"You're forcing me... to kill you..."

The intense killing intent reached its peak at this moment.

Song Zhiqing frowned and slowly took a step forward.

Yao Shan clenched his fist, and the giant bear phantom on his body raised its head and let out a roar.

An invisible roar shook the minds of everyone.

A strong gust of wind arose, and a blow as powerful as a landslide was about to strike Shen You.

"Who dares to hurt him?!"

Suddenly a loud shout rang out.

call out--!

Suddenly, a black light flew in from not far away.

A black light pierced the air, like a thunderclap, and swept past Yao Shan's fist with unparalleled sharpness!

laugh--!

Yao Shan's expression changed, and blood splattered from his fist.

He looked down in astonishment, only to find a small wound on his fist.

You should know that he just threw a punch with all his might; his fist is arguably the hardest part of his body.

But it was easily cut open.

But what if the opponent didn't strike his fist, but instead chopped at his neck...

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

The consequences will be disastrous!

"Who?!"

Yao Shan looked up fiercely.

"Auntie!"

Shen You recognized the voice immediately and turned her head in surprise to look in that direction.

A menacing-looking figure slowly approached from the path not far away.

Wearing a dirty apron, with a stout figure, every step she took shook the ground, exuding a demonic aura—it was none other than Aunt Dou!

Behind Aunt Dou followed another group of servants, several carrying a large bucket and others carrying some exquisite food baskets. It turned out that there was a second group of servants delivering meals, and Aunt Dou was leading them.

Boom!Boom!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Aunt Dou walked up to Shen You with an earth-shaking commotion.

"Shen boy, are you starving? I brought you something delicious."

She smiled at Shen You first, then walked past Shen You and continued walking, pulling her dark, grizzly butcher knife from the ground.

She just threw that butcher knife from a distance, blocking Yao Shan's attack.

"Are you... the lady who delivers food?"

Yao Shan asked in surprise and doubt, "How do you possess such strength?"

Aunt Dou sneered, her narrow eyes flashing with a fierce light as she scanned the room from left to right.

"If I didn't have some strength, how could I be carrying around a huge bucket of 'blood-activating soup' all over the inner courtyard?!"

No one dared to meet her gaze.

She gave another cold shout:

"Now we're distributing the 'blood-activating soup,' everyone line up!"

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, but slowly began to move and line up in the training ground.

Yao Shan kept his fists clenched and glared fiercely at Aunt Dou.

Aunt Dou snorted coldly and glared at him as well:

"What? You want to spar with me?"

She pointed forcefully at Yao Shan:

"You'd better think this through! All the food you eat is made by me! If you want to go hungry, then go ahead and mess with me!"

Yao Shan's expression changed, and he angrily said, "You..."

Song Zhiqing stepped forward, grabbed Yao Shan, and shook his head, saying, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten Master Huang's words? Matters within the courtyard should only be resolved within the courtyard..."

Yao Shan gritted his teeth and finally let out a muffled groan of resentment before turning and leaving.

"Where are you going!?"

Aunt Dou shouted from behind, "Don't you want your food anymore?!"

"I……"

Yao Shan turned around angrily and said, "Can't I bandage my fist?! Who said I don't need food?!"

"Hmph, then hurry up and come back! Don't keep me waiting!"

"knew!!"

Yao Shan stormed off.

Aunt Dou shouted, "Now we're distributing the 'blood-activating soup' to everyone, one bowl per person, and no one is allowed to take it!"

She then came over to Shen You and said:

"Young Shen, you don't need to go with them. Your 'blood-activating soup' has been prepared separately for you."

"Okay, thank you, ma'am!"

Shen You burst into laughter.
