"Roar!" The golden dragon roared as it crashed into the fire dragon, creating a booming sound that extinguished the fire dragon, revealing Xing Tiandong's body. As his body became visible, blood spurted from all seven of his orifices, and then, like a kite with its string cut, he was flung out of the arena.

  "Damn, am I seeing things? A golden dragon, he summoned a golden dragon with a single palm strike. My god, that's at least a Heaven Level technique!"

  "That's freaking awesome! It's like the awesomest of awesome in combat!"

  All the Xing family's young disciples who witnessed the fight were shocked, their mouths agape at the scene. For a typical Earth Level warrior, being able to project Profound Qi externally and deliver a palm strike is already remarkable. But for someone like Xing Peng to summon a golden dragon with a palm strike was utterly extraordinary.

  When Xing Peng made his move, everyone who saw it couldn't help but question Xing Peng's strength.

  "This Xing Peng, he must possess Earth Level strength! Damn, he didn't even gasp for air after that strike!"

  Xing Peng ignored the discussions around him. After launching his palm strike, he retracted his hand and then looked towards the elders' stand with a sharp gaze. All the elders swept by his gaze couldn't help but shudder.

  Xing Peng's sharp look towards the elders wasn't a challenge but a message - I, Xing Peng, am not the same anymore. I am no longer the incapable person I used to be. I have not disgraced my father.

  Xing Kuangfeng's face was grim, and his eyes were almost icy, wary of Xing Peng's palm strike. The strength displayed by Xing Peng's move hinted at a prowess close to that of a Heaven Level master. Though the aura was faint, it was enough to suggest that given time, Xing Peng could indeed become a Heaven Level master.

  "This little beast must not be spared! He has grown this much in a month. Given more time, he will surpass me. Even if the family doesn't catch my misdeeds, he will not let me off..." Xing Kuangfeng could clearly sense a killing intent towards himself in Xing Peng's gaze towards the elders.

  "Good!" Applause came from the elders' seats. Near Xing Tianjue, an elder in a green robe with a white beard suddenly stood up, his face flushed with excitement as he looked at Xing Peng.

  "Xing Peng, well done! Our Xing family has finally produced another unparalleled genius!"

  To train to such a level in a month and to display such formidable combat power, who could deny he's a genius! If he's not a genius, then there are no geniuses in this world.

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  The glory on Xing Peng shone brightly. Seeing Xing Peng easily defeat Xing Tiandong, who had used a forbidden technique, the young disciples of the Xing family couldn't help but worship him.

  Some who had looked down on Xing Peng were now cheering for him, their cheers including the affectionate cries of some young girls.

  Listening to the screams around him, Xing Peng experienced for the first time the glory brought by martial arts, something he never felt in his previous life. This made him even more determined. Since he had been reborn into this world, he intended to live a splendid life, not like his previous life, focused only on training without knowing how to enjoy life.

  He no longer wanted to suppress his strength; he wanted to soar to the skies!

  With Xing Tiandong defeated, the remaining nine top warriors now had serious expressions. The strength displayed by Xing Peng also put pressure on them. Their gazes filled with fighting spirit, they were not ready to give up just yet.

  The scene didn't stay heated for long before Xing Kuangdao, the elder in charge of the competition, reappeared on the stage and announced the start of the ranking competition among the top ten warriors.

  The ranking among the top ten warriors was always a free-for-all battle, with ten people on the same stage, and the last one standing would be ranked number one.

  As Xing Kuangdao spoke, the other nine simultaneously landed on the stage with Xing Peng, and as they appeared, they seemed to have a tacit agreement to surround Xing Peng.

  This scene made all the watching Xing family disciples boil with excitement, their enthusiasm erupting in shouts. A nine-on-one attack was rare in the Xing family's history.

  The family's annual trials rarely saw such a scene. Usually, the difference between the final top ten was not significant, not enough to make others feel the need to team up against one. Whenever such an event occurred, it indicated the rise of a monstrous genius in the Xing family.

  "Xing Peng, we didn't think much of you before, because you were indeed the weakest among us, making our family a laughingstock among other families. However, I take back what I thought of you before. You have become the strongest of our generation in the Xing family. So, please forgive us for attacking you together..."

  Xing Jianfeng, holding a black sword, looked seriously at Xing Peng, his body emanating sword energy. After speaking, his sword suddenly moved like lightning before a storm, attacking Xing Peng with incredible speed, reaching him in the blink of an eye. As soon as he landed on the stage, Xing Jianfeng went all out.

  The others did similarly, looking at Xing Peng gravely and then nodding at him before launching their attacks.

  "Open Sky with the Fire God!"

  "Wildfire Rampage!"

  "Sword Sweep Across the Eight Directions!"

  Hot airwaves filled the stage as Xing Jianfeng and the other nine launched their strongest attacks at Xing Peng. Sword qi, fist power, leg wind, knife force, and so on, combined to form a powerful storm, sealing off all areas Xing Peng could dodge to, forcing him to withstand the battle head-on. Seeing this, Xing Peng once again displayed the ancient martial arts technique from his previous life, "The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

  "Dragon Soars in the Sky!"

  "Regretful Dragon!"

  Instantly, several golden dragons swept across the stage, roaring continuously, their formidable might shaking the heavens and earth, incredibly frightening. With each dragon's appearance, inevitably, one person would be sent flying out of the arena. In just a moment, only Xing Peng remained standing proudly on the stage, causing all the watching Xing family disciples to cheer.

  This scene was truly too admirable for them! Each of them looked at Xing Peng with extremely fervent eyes.
