Of the four, he was the strongest. Even he had backed down. Dao Kou Xiu and Sha Tie were naturally wise not to fight a losing battle, and they quickly retreated.

"Hmph, none of your business? Heh, what did I just say to you? I gave you a chance, don't use me as a pawn. I didn't expect you to take my kindness for granted and insist on making trouble for me. Fine, I'm a magnanimous person and won't hold it against you. But..." Xiao Xuanyuan pointed at Han Yue, who was standing there in a daze, and coldly scolded her.

"You can hit me, you can bully me, but there's a condition: don't fucking bully a woman as beautiful and fucking kind-hearted as this, otherwise, I will absolutely not let you off the hook."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely keep your words in mind and will not do it again next time!" Mu Shuquan hurriedly smiled and bowed repeatedly, almost kneeling down to Xiao Xuanyuan. Dao Kouxiu and Sha Tie also kept apologizing and swore that they would not dare to do it again. Faced with such a strong opponent as Xiao Xuanyuan, they could not even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"Then what are you waiting for? All of you, get over here and kneel down, and apologize to this girl." Xiao Xuanyuan shouted, startling Mu Shuquan and the other two into exchanging bewildered glances. They hadn't even started fighting yet, and they were already being forced to kneel? They were all experts ranked in the top teens on the Strong Ranking. If word got out, would they still be able to stay in the inner courtyard?

"What, do I have to go and invite you over? Why don't you take the initiative?" Xiao Xuanyuan smiled wickedly, glancing at Mu Shuquan and then at the other two, his strong sense of threat unmistakable.

Han Yue had recovered from her shock and managed to regain her composure, but Xiao Xuanyuan could still see the look of surprise in her eyes from time to time. "Let it go. We're all ranked high on the leaderboard. There's no need to create conflict over such a small matter."

"Really? Just like that?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked seriously, wanting to confirm again. Seeing Han Yue nod, Mu Shuquan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. If they had really knelt down to Han Yue here, they would have become celebrities ridiculed by everyone in the inner courtyard.

Although the matter was no longer being pursued, how could Xiao Xuanyuan let them off so easily? "Now that Han Yue is not pursuing the matter of you offending her, I will forgive you too. In the future, when you see such a beautiful girl, remember to speak properly, be polite, and don't be unruly, understand? Huh?!"

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's murderous gaze sweep over him, Mu Shuquan's eyes twitched, but he still forced himself to nod.

"Hey you, you old black devil lying on the ground, I'm talking to you. Did you understand what I said?" Seeing the three of them nod in agreement, Xiao Xuanyuan was quite satisfied. However, there was one guy he hadn't forgotten. His gaze fell on Heishan, who was still lying in training room 27 pretending to be dead.

Seeing that the burly man, who was as tall as Tie Zhu, was still pretending to be dead, Xiao Xuanyuan slowly walked towards him, and then, like an eagle snatching a chick, reached out and pulled the strong man up, walked back, and threw him to the ground with a "bang".

"Since you're pretending to be dead, then I won't be polite." With that, Xiao Xuanyuan reached out to take the storage ring off his hand. At this moment, Heishan dared not pretend anymore, grabbed his wrist, and said weakly, "Brother, let me go. We were just following orders."

"Let you go?" Xiao Xuanyuan sneered. "Then who let me go? You? You just tried to kill me, so how could I be polite?" As he spoke, Xiao Xuanyuan shook off the other man's gripping hand and slapped his dark face repeatedly, more than ten times, until Heishan's head was buzzing and his consciousness was blurred. Only then did he manage to remove all the storage rings from his hands.

With a powerful soul perception scan, he looked through all the items in the three storage rings. There was nothing of value, except for the Fire Crystal Card, which had four or five hundred fire energy. He directly took it and connected it to his own Purple Gold Fire Crystal Card, leaving seven fire energy behind, which was a bargain for him.

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan act like a bandit in front of them, Mu Shuquan and the other two exchanged glances for a moment, understood each other's thoughts, and turned to flee in three different directions.

"You think you can run away? You're dreaming."

After throwing Heishan aside, Xiao Xuanyuan instantly transformed into a blur, catching up with Mu Shuquan in the blink of an eye. He immediately crippled both of Mu Shuquan's arms, pulled him back, and threw him beside Heishan. Then he continued chasing the remaining two.

Although the six-story space was quite large, there was only one entrance and exit. Xiao Xuanyuan was guarding that spot, so the group couldn't escape even if they wanted to. In about three breaths, he captured them all and threw them to the ground.

Since they weren't cooperating properly, he wouldn't hold back. With his Heavenly Punishment Purple Eyes and Heavenly Realm-level soul perception sweeping through, all the good stuff in the four people's storage rings was gone, and all the fire energy in the Fire Crystal Card was transferred to Xiao Xuanyuan's Purple Gold King Card.

That's right. Fire Crystal Cards are divided into black, blue, cyan, red, purple, and purple-gold from low to high. The highest level is the purple-gold Fire Crystal Card, also known as the "Purple-Gold King Card". This card was specially applied for by Valley Master Zhang Cangwu for Xiao Xuanyuan.

There was no other way. Xiao Xuanyuan was the treasure of the Alchemy Valley, a sixth-grade advanced alchemist. His terrifying alchemy ability and speed alone made the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu feel ashamed and shook the entire Canaan Academy. Therefore, he was approved directly.

After a thorough inspection, Xiao Xuanyuan found a book in Mu Shuquan's storage ring. When he opened the book, the obscene content and illustrations on it left him speechless.

"Huh? What's this? Wow, *Jin Ping Mei*! You actually like reading this kind of stuff?"

---Aside---

Chapter Fifteen: You fell before I even used my full strength.

boom!

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan being sent flying by a single punch, many top experts on the ranking list secretly worried for him. Everyone had witnessed that he had faced Zi Yan, the number one expert on the ranking list. There was once an arrogant guy who didn't believe in the power of the opponent and insisted on trying to fight her himself. The result was predictable: he was punched by Zi Yan and his bones and tendons were broken, leaving him unable to take care of himself. Even after he recovered, he was left with a psychological shadow that he would never forget.

But now there was a person right in front of him, the kind who didn't believe in evil. While feeling sorry for him, he couldn't help but want to watch the show and see how this guy would be tortured to death by Zi Yan.

"and many more!"

Still a bit dazed, Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't reacted yet when he hurriedly reached out to signal the other party to stop. But the little girl who had just appeared on the other side had no intention of letting him go. With a powerful punch, she fiercely pounced on Xiao Xuanyuan, startling him.

"Holy crap, that's way too much!"

Xiao Xuanyuan pushed off with his palm as the center and jumped out quickly. With a loud "bang", Zi Yan's seemingly small fist smashed into the copper and iron wall of the training room, smashing a hole in it. The fist almost pierced through the nearly unbreakable iron wall.

Xiao Xuanyuan dodged away, creating a five-meter distance. When he looked back and saw the hole in the iron wall of the training room, his face twitched. This little girl's physical strength was too fierce. She smashed through the iron wall with one punch. The pure power of this punch was almost equivalent to the full-force attack of a seven or eight-star Dou Wang!

The little girl in white, who was about twelve years old, was about the waist of Xiao Xuanyuan. Her long, light purple hair hung down to her waist. Her face was extremely fair and tender, and she had a lovely, delicate appearance. Her big, dark, bright eyes were fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan with a hint of anger, and she was pouting.

"You're Ziyan? How can you be so cute?" After seeing the little girl's appearance, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little charmed by her and really wanted to reach out and pat her little head.

"Hmph, don't think I won't hit you just because you say I'm cute. You're disturbing my cultivation, I'm going to beat you to death!" The little girl, Zi Yan, angrily clenched her little fists and transformed into a gust of wind as she pounced on Xiao Xuanyuan again.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother will give you candy. Come home with brother, okay?" Xiao Xuanyuan immediately transformed into a bad uncle who was luring a little girl, running and tempting Xiao Ziyan.

"No, I don't like you, you big bad guy!" Little Ziyan didn't appreciate it at all. Her little fists were flying, and she kept chasing after Xiao Xuanyuan. The heavy "bang bang" sounds hit the surrounding copper and iron walls, leaving clear fist marks.

"Brother will take you to the amusement park. There are lots of children there, and you can have fun playing with them." Seeing that candy couldn't entice Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately changed his tactics.

"Where is the amusement park? Is it fun? I've never heard of it." As she was playing, Xiao Ziyan stopped and scratched her head, unable to figure out what an amusement park was.

"It's a place where lots of little girls your age play together. There are roller coasters, carousels, Ferris wheels, and so on. It's really fun!" Xiao Xuanyuan continued to tempt her, but he knew that there were no amusement parks on the Dou Qi Continent. This was just a pretext to lure Xiao Ziyan.

Who cares? Let's lure Xiao Ziyan onto his ship first!

"really?"

Xiao Ziyan's eyes lit up with interest, as if she had taken the bait. Xiao Xuanyuan also stopped running away, looking at Xiao Ziyan with a kind and friendly smile.

"Of course, you'll see when your brother takes you there."

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a slight breath. This little monster was quite strong. Looking at the devastation around him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was the destructive power of Xiao Ziyan's little fists.

Little Ziyan happily walked towards Xiao Xuanyuan, opening her arms as if she wanted to hug him. But when she was only two or three meters away, her little face changed, revealing a fierce look in her eyes. She rushed over in three steps and swung her little fist at him. "Trying to fool me? Humph, I'm not that stupid!"

Seeing Xiao Ziyan suddenly launch an attack, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a chill run down his spine. At this critical moment, caught off guard, he could no longer dodge. He gritted his teeth, raised his fist, and attacked, directly using the sixth move of the ancient fighting technique, Mighty Sky-Supporting Fist, "Sky-Splitting!"

A terrifying aura from the ancient primordial era instantly spread out, and a dark and endless void seemed to appear behind Xiao Xuanyuan, emanating a terrifying aura that could devour the heavens and split the earth. Everyone around seemed to feel an aura of the end of the world. A moment later, Xiao Xuanyuan's fist, which carried the dark aura of the endless void, collided with Xiao Ziyan's little fist.

boom!

Boom!

Little Ziyan's small body was sent flying like a deflated balloon, crashing through the walls of seven or eight training rooms before finally slamming into the hard inner wall of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower with a loud "boom," causing the entire tower to tremble slightly.

Just one punch!

The entire venue was completely silent!

The atmosphere remained tense for an unknown amount of time before someone finally came to their senses. Their gazes towards Xiao Xuanyuan were filled with horror. Xiao Xuanyuan's punch had left a deep mark on everyone's hearts. Almost everyone simultaneously thought, "Strong, just too strong! Even Senior Sister Ziyan was defeated in one move. This freak may have already surpassed the Dou Wang level!"

Some were happy while others were sad. The happy one was Han Yue. Although she was shocked by Xiao Xuanyuan's strength, she was also happy to have made such a new friend. The four people, including Lie Shu and the Black Cat, had a bitter look on their faces.

They had originally planned to use Xiao Ziyan to teach this guy a lesson, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ziyan, who was ranked number one on the power list, was also defeated. In an instant, the resentment and hatred in their eyes gradually subsided and dissipated. When the enemy becomes incredibly powerful, the hatred becomes meaningless.

The person with the most complicated feelings was Liu Qing, who was hiding in the corner. After witnessing Xiao Xuanyuan's true strength, he was filled with regret. Even Xiao Ziyan, who was ranked first on the strength list, had lost. How the hell was he supposed to fight now? Was he just going to throw his life away? He muttered to himself, "Cousin, I'm sorry, it seems I have no choice but to sacrifice you."

Xiao Xuanyuan walked forward, somewhat puzzled, and looked at Xiao Ziyan, who was lying motionless against the inner wall. He called out, "Hey little one, stop pretending to be dead! I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you've already collapsed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the sixth floor froze in shock!

Chapter Sixteen: Where Did the Strange Uncle Go?

Are you speaking human language?

Almost simultaneously, the same thought crossed the minds of all the top experts on the sixth floor! You knocked down the number one on the top list with a single punch. If you're this strong, and you haven't even used your full strength, then what are we? We're all ranked after number one on the top list!

Han Yue's slightly gaunt face twitched. She no longer considered Xiao Xuanyuan to be a strong person on the same level. Even Xiao Ziyan had been defeated, so what was the point of her, who was ranked fifteenth on the strong list, getting involved?

Walking up to Xiao Xuanyuan, Han Yue asked, "Is Senior Sister Ziyan alright?"

"I don't know either. I only used less than half of my strength just now. Isn't she the number one expert on the ranking list? How come she's so weak?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked, his face full of doubt and questions.

Han Yue turned her head and rolled her eyes, sighing, "You have the nerve to say that? Senior Zi Yan is just a little girl. Look how hard you hit her. She looks like she's seriously injured."

"What's this? I beat up a fifth-tier magical beast before. If someone hadn't stopped me, I would have almost killed it!" Xiao Xuanyuan said calmly.

"A fifth-tier magical beast, that's equivalent to..." Han Yue was a little confused when she heard that, but she quickly realized what was going on and stared at Xiao Xuanyuan in disbelief, looking him up and down with a completely new perspective.

"That's right, it was a fifth-tier magical beast, equivalent to a five-star Dou Huang in humans. I fought it in the rolling lava. This beast had even ambushed me from beneath the massive lava before!" Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and briefly recounted the battle.

Han Yue gasped in astonishment, and the surrounding experts on the power rankings also gasped for breath. To be able to fight against a fifth-tier magical beast equivalent to a five-star Dou Huang, and even almost kill it, must be at least at the peak of the Dou Huang level! Strong, ridiculously strong!

"Brother Xiao Xuanyuan, what level Dou Huang are you now?" It took Han Yue a long time to calm down.

"I am currently a nine-star Dou Wang, but I haven't reached the Dou Huang level yet."

Han Yue was already breathing heavily, and felt dizzy and disoriented. She almost lost her balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Xuanyuan reacted quickly and reached out to support her. "Are you alright? Your health is so poor. You should pay more attention to exercising."

Compared to Han Yue's reaction, the reactions of the many top-ranked experts around them were not much better. They were breathing rapidly, their faces were flushed, and they were trembling all over as if they had taken aphrodisiacs.

"My God! Did I just hear that right?! A nine-star Dou Wang kills a mid-level fifth-tier magical beast?! How powerful must that be?!" Baili Feichen's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, his gaze filled with disbelief and astonishment.

The mouths of the others standing nearby were agape, wide enough to fit a salted duck egg, and their expressions were not much different from Baili Feichen's.

"If that's the case, his strength is indeed unfathomable!" Lin Yan's expression was solemn. When he looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, a sense of reverence welled up from the bottom of his heart. There was admiration, respect, longing, and fervent desire in him!

"I'm fine!" Han Yue was about to stand up again when everything went black and she collapsed into Xiao Xuanyuan's arms.

"It's nothing! You look very weak." Xiao Xuanyuan was puzzled. He injected a wisp of fire battle qi into Han Yue's body to check her condition. After a moment, Xiao Xuanyuan withdrew his attention. "Your body has accumulated some fire toxins because you have been cultivating at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower too frequently recently. I have a bottle of Grade 5 Ice and Snow Cleansing Heart Pills here. You only need to take one to completely eliminate the fire toxins from your body."

With that, Xiao Xuanyuan handed the pill to Han Yue.

"What?! A fifth-grade Ice and Snow Cleansing Heart Pill?! It's so rare and expensive even in the inner courtyard, you can't buy it even if you want to! And that guy actually brought it out." A new earthquake was triggered in the hearts of everyone on the Strong Ranking. At this moment, their minds were twisted.

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others! Are they even allowed to live?!

"I don't need it!" Han Yue blushed and pushed the jade bottle back to Xiao Xuanyuan. She had just met Xiao Xuanyuan, and she naturally dared not accept such a valuable pill, nor was she embarrassed to do so.

"It's alright, I have plenty here, I don't need one or two more." Xiao Xuanyuan pushed again, but Han Yue still refused to accept it. Helpless, Xiao Xuanyuan had no choice but to take back the Ice Snow Cleansing Heart Pill, and then took out another bottle and handed it to Han Yue, "This is a fourth-grade Six Cleansing Returning Spirit Pill. It's the lowest grade pill I can offer. If you don't accept it, I'll have none left."

Han Yue's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Even the lowest grade pills were fourth-grade pills. Han Yue was so shocked that she was almost numb!

"Just accept it, stop hesitating, I still have things to do." After helping Han Yue up and making sure she was steady, Xiao Xuanyuan walked towards the inner wall in front of him.

Xiao Xuanyuan slowly walked forward, not moving very fast, afraid that the little guy would do the same thing to him again. If he hadn't been on guard and reacted quickly, he probably would have been smashed to pieces by Xiao Ziyan.

"Little guy, are you alright?" Xiao Xuanyuan called softly, his footsteps gradually approaching. The footsteps grew louder and louder, closer and closer. Xiao Xuanyuan's hand curled into a claw. He would attack at the slightest sign of trouble. He had developed a psychological aversion to this little guy.

The imagined little fist did not come at all. Xiao Xuanyuan safely arrived at Xiao Ziyan's side. He reached out and turned Xiao Ziyan over, and saw that her eyes were closed and her face was a little pale.

A wisp of fire energy quickly entered Xiao Ziyan's body, circulated within her body, and then returned to Xiao Xuanyuan's body through his palm.

Xiao Ziyan's internal condition wasn't too bad; she had just suffered some internal injuries from the impact of the fist, but none were fatal. The reason she wasn't awake was because she had fainted from the shock.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan gave a bitter smile.

"How is Senior Ziyan?" At this moment, Han Yue also composed herself and walked over.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor injury and she fainted." Xiao Xuanyuan flipped his hand, and a bottle of pills appeared. "This is a high-grade fifth-rank healing pill called the Taixu Replenishing Spirit True Pill. As long as she takes one, she can recover from any injury, no matter how severe. Help her up, and I'll feed her one."
