He admitted that in the past when he was surrounded by countless halos of light, he had said many words of mockery. However, those words were already in the past.

Back then, Bai Chen had beaten him. It was normal for Xiao Zhi to mock Bai Chen. Xiao Zhi was not angry. After all, due to his own actions, Bai Chen did not say anything.

After a self-deprecating smile, Bai Chen silently turned around and prepared to leave. At that moment, Xiao Zhi stood up from the ground and stood in front of Bai Chen.

”What do you mean?”

A cold light flashed through Bai Chen's eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

He did not mind Xiao Zhi taunting him. After all, he had taunted someone else back then. However, Bai Chen had also saved his life earlier. Yet, Xiao Zhi had blocked his way just now.

”It's nothing. I've not seen a genius like you in so many years and I miss you so much, so we can be considered little. Since you've come to Qiu City, how can I not be friends with you?”

Xiao Zhi said with a smile. Although he was smiling, in Bai Chen's eyes, that smile was filled with ill intentions.

”No need, I'm not familiar with you yet.”

Bai Chen pushed Xiao Zhi away and continued walking.

The scene of how he was mocked by Bai Chen back then was still fresh in his mind even now.

”Bai Chen, stop right there!” Xiao Zhi shouted.

Even though Xiao Zhi's words clearly showed his displeasure, Bai Chen acted as if he did not hear it and continued walking forward.

However, the more Bai Chen ignored him, the more the atmosphere grew tense.

Back then, Bai Chen was a genius. Even if he had mocked Xiao Zhi, he could not do anything to Bai Chen. However, that former genius had already become a trash, yet he still dared to act so arrogantly.

Who did he think he was? Was he still the genius that had reached the Spirit Sect realm at the age of twelve?

”A mere trash dares to ignore me?! Do you not want to live anymore!”

Xiao Zhi let out a low shout and once again chased in front of Bai Chen to block him.

At this moment, Bai Chen raised his head to look at Xiao Zhi. The coldness in his eyes caused Xiao Zhi to unconsciously shudder.

What was going on? Wasn't this fellow unable to cultivate? How could that gaze just now be so terrifying?

Xiao Zhi was secretly shocked. The look in Bai Chen's eyes just now had made him feel a tinge of fear.

However, although that fear made him a bit nervous, it was mostly silent anger.

In the past, a genius had mocked him, but now, he was just a good-for-nothing who could not cultivate. Yet, he still revealed such a vicious gaze. It was unknown if it was due to years of resentment or unwillingness.

He raised his hand to hit Bai Chen, but Xiao Zhi did not expect Bai Chen to easily dodge his palm strike from a Primary Spirit Master.

However, what was not enough to surprise Xiao Zhi was the important part. Bai Chen dodged Xiao Zhi's palm strike and directly punched Xiao Zhi's lower abdomen.

Currently, Bai Chen's battle strength was comparable to an Intermediate Spirit Master, and Xiao Zhi was only an elementary level Spirit Master. Even if it was just an ordinary punch, it was not something he could withstand.

Xiao Zhi was knocked to the ground. Even though Bai Chen's punch was quite powerful, Xiao Zhi did not care about the pain. Besides feeling shocked, he was also shocked.

Xiao Zhi could not believe that the current Bai Chen actually had such a powerful strength.

Hadn't he already become a piece of trash?

At this moment, Xiao Zhi's mind was filled with these questions.

Although Bai Chen had sent the Raging Flame Leopard flying with a single punch, Xiao Zhi had already severely injured it before he had arrived. Even an Inferno Leopard's body practitioner could have been sent flying by a sneak attack.

Thus, Xiao Zhi did not find out that Bai Chen was capable of cultivating just now. The moment he found out was when he would be beaten!

”You, you can cultivate now?” Xiao Zhi said to Bai Chen with an extremely shocked expression.

Bai Chen turned around and looked at Xiao Zhi, ”Young Master Xiao, back then, I, Bai Chen, had some unpleasant words about you, so I don't care if you mock me. However, if you want to make a move, I hope you will do your best!”

Bai Chen said to Xiao Zhi in a domineering and irresistible manner. The coldness in his words caused Xiao Zhi to break out in a cold sweat.

If the former Bai Chen could be said to be a proud and arrogant genius, then the current him was a powerful and restrained superior.

This was what Xiao Zhi was thinking at the moment. He did not expect Bai Chen to have such a huge change.

Actually, even Bai Chen himself did not know that in the few years that he had been called trash, it was precisely because he had seen the face of the world that he had developed a very mature mind.

This kind of mental growth had nothing to do with one's strength. Only after experiencing some ups and downs would there be a change in attitude.

After Bai Chen said this, he turned around and left without caring about Xiao Zhi's stupefied expression, leaving Xiao Zhi sitting alone on the ground for a long time without being able to calm the shock in his heart.
