It wasn't just his appearance that silenced everyone. But in the next second, a realm leap occurred. Xiao Tian, from the tenth rank of the Supreme Realm, instantly broke through to the third rank of the Great Supreme Realm. An eight-rank leap instantaneously—something that couldn't be explained by common sense or even the understanding of the elders. Even though his realm was still below Xiao Zen and Xiao Lian, the pressure he released made the breath of all the lightning fire beast bloodline owners catch in their throats. They not only felt the oppressive force, but it was as if their own blood rebelled, submitting to a higher power. It wasn't just the pressure of power. It was the pressure of pure bloodline—a pressure that signified that the bloodline possessed by Xiao Tian was far above them all. “There's no way another clan besides the Xiao clan has a bloodline this strong! And why does he also have the Xiao surname?” Xiao Zen thought aloud, his eyes wide with disbelief. The au

Xiao Tian merely snorted. Cold. Untouched. “Tch.” A light yet impactful sound. “The weak will always be like that. When they are unable to stand on their own strength, they will seek someone behind them to be a shield. So boring.” His words weren't uttered with anger, but that calmness was even more frightening than an outburst of rage. As if he truly didn't consider them in any way. Xiao Lian became even angrier. Her body was still trembling, but this time it was more due to emotional drive than pain. She gathered all the remaining strength she had, her voice screeching with hatred. “If I were the same age as you, you would be an ant in front of me! Just wait for my revenge!” Xiao Lian's hand moved quickly. A rune appeared in the air from inside her sleeve, glowing dark blue with intricate markings. Mysterious energy enveloped her in an instant, then spread to Xiao Zen and the other four. The atmosphere immediately became stiff. The air became still instantly, and before anyone

After breakfast, they left immediately. Xiao Tian walked with his three new companions. Niu Gan was on his left, while Jilang and Bairu lagged slightly behind, but maintained a close enough distance. They were not in a hurry, but their steps were steady, as if there was nothing to be chased or feared. Eyes were drawn to them, especially to Xiao Tian who walked at the front. Many people in this small town had seen or heard about the mysterious young man who made the Xiao Clan branch tremble. Although Xiao Tian had denied any connection to the bloodline power, people's curiosity remained undimmed. Even those who had only caught a glimpse began to talk about his movements. However, neither Xiao Tian nor the three young men paid any attention to the spotlight from their surroundings. It was as if they were walking through an empty market, no burden, no desire to show themselves. Throughout their journey, the conversation among them never stopped. Xiao Tian listened more, but his eyes

The man leading the group walked through the crowd with calm but authoritative steps. His gaze was sharp, and his upright posture showed that he was accustomed to being the center of attention. When he reached the open space, he tilted his head towards the sky, clenched his fist, and spoke loudly, his voice echoing with confidence that was not concealed in the slightest. "I, Xiao Wei of the Xiao Clan branch, have heard that the Holy Princess is training here. Might I have the honor of chatting with the Holy Princess?" As soon as those words were finished, a heavy and sharp voice was heard from the direction of the mountain peak. One of the Elders who guarded the place stepped forward, his robe swaying in the gentle breeze from above the mountain. "So it is actually the young master and young lady from the Xiao Clan branch. Our Holy Princess has given orders to invite the young master and young lady for a chat," said the Elder without much preamble. His tone was strong, showing no

However, Xiao Tian didn't show any apprehension on his face. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heartbeat. “Miss, I know I was wrong. But I told the truth. I truly didn’t know that the pearl belonged to you. I’ve promised to give you proper compensation. So, does the Holy Princess of the Thousand Star Heart Villa still want to make things difficult for me?” His tone was calm, but there was a veiled caution. Xiao Tian knew very well that even though he had experienced a great increase in cultivation and was no longer the same as before, the young woman in front of him was still beyond his reach. It wasn’t appropriate for him to act arrogantly in front of someone who could subdue a territory like the Thousand Star Heart Villa. The Holy Princess of the Thousand Star Heart Villa didn’t answer immediately. A smile appeared on her lips, but it wasn’t a calming smile. Instead, it was like a hidden blade lurking for the opponent’s weakness. “I actually wanted to tear you apart
