Wen Jinrui's bear paws and w.a.n.g Jiaohua's quick sword arrived at the same time from two different directions in a flawless combination. Unfortunately, in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, their attacks were as slow as a snail.

By the time their attacks arrived, Xiang Shaoyun had already vanished from their vision. Both attacks only hit an afterimage. The two were greatly alarmed, and just as they were about to look for Xiang Shaoyun, his attack arrived from an angle they never expected.

Pa! Pa!

A series of crisp slaps sounded as both Wen Jinrui and w.a.n.g Jiaohua felt an aching pain on their faces. The slaps even caused them to feel lightheaded. They couldn't even see how Xiang Shaoyun had attacked. By the time they wanted to strike back, Xiang Shaoyun had already pulled away from them.

”Ten slaps for each of you. That is payback for your mouths. Come again, I will let you attack again, but my next attack will be much less merciful,” said Xiang Shaoyun in an uncaring manner as if he had done something that was completely unimportant.

Clear palm marks could be seen on the faces of Wen Jinrui and w.a.n.g Jiaohua. Their faces were badly swollen, and blood was dripping off the corners of their lips.

”Y-you dare humiliate me like that? Die!” w.a.n.g Jiaohua had never been this humiliated before. With a shout, she erupted with all her strength, preparing to fight Xiang Shaoyun with her full power.

But she was quickly stopped by Wen Jinrui who whispered, ”Jiaohua, calm down! He is stronger than both of us!”

One ought to admit that Wen Jinrui was quite the smart one. They hadn't been able to react to Xiang Shaoyun's attack at all. If they really threw all caution to the wind and continued the fight, the two of them would be the ones to die.

Hearing Wen Jinrui's words, w.a.n.g Jiaohua lost all her courage. She had been slapped without even seeing how the slaps came. How could she hope to contend against an opponent like this?

Wen Jinrui then gazed at Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”We admit defeat. Do whatever you want.”

Xiang Shaoyun looked at Wen Jinrui in astonishment as he had not expected that the latter would be able to swallow the humiliation like that. But because the two had submitted, it would be improper for him to keep on attacking.

”Scram. If you dare bully my brother Xia Liuhui and my martial nephew w.a.n.g Zhenchuan again, you won't be spared so easily,” said Xiang Shaoyun unhappily.

The only reason he had even agreed to fight them was to establish his dominance, to reduce the amount of unnecessary trouble Xia Liuhui and w.a.n.g Zhenchuan might suffer during their time here.

Wen Jinrui and w.a.n.g Jiaohua quickly slipped away, cutting sorry figures doing so. At this point, the crowd was already looking at Xiang Shaoyun in a completely different light.

”Who is he exactly? Why have I never seen him before? Even two inner disciples were made to leave without daring to fight back.”

”I have never seen him before, but he is probably a year or two older than us. At such an age, he is already so powerful. Is he a hidden disciple of some elder?”

”No, that isn't right. Didn't he say that he wasn't a Cloud Margin Pavilion disciple? Maybe he is a genius from some other organization? No wonder he has the respect of Senior Sister Gong!”

”Hmph. Look how arrogant he is. If the true geniuses of our pavilion show themselves, he might not necessarily be able to stay so arrogant anymore.”

...

They couldn't guess who Xiang Shaoyun was, and they were embarra.s.sed to ask him to his face, so they left one after another.

Xiang Shaoyun left the arena and smiled at Gong Qinyin and Lu Xiaoqing before saying, ”It has been a while.”
