Xu Ping fan looked excitedly towards his young master, hoping for the latter to reveal even more surprises.

Xu Qi activated his Soul Displacement technique without warning, and Xu Pingfan felt a shadow flash past. The latter then heard a sonic boom. His immediate reaction was to prepare himself to receive Xu Qi's attack with his palms without even looking.

What Xu Qi wanted was to test whether a physical attack reinforced with the Soul Displacement technique would bring about an unexpected result. That was why he went all in right at the beginning. Xu Qi had never thought his strength as a newbie cultivator would endanger Xu Pingfan; thus, he aimed for his back right from the start. Seeing Xu Pingfan's swift reaction triggered Xu Qi into reciprocating excitedly, "I'll just take on your palm strike then. So, what?"

"Ahh..." Xu Pingfan felt a much stronger force coming from Xu Qi as the latter struck out his palms. Xu Pingfan planned on using only 10% of his strength to test Xu Qi's power, but he could no longer afford to be careless. Although shocked, he hurriedly channeled all his strength into his palms. However, he was sent flying right as their palms connected.

"Uncle Mang!" As their palms met, Xu Qi felt as if he uprooted a dried-up plant, unable to withstand a single blow. Seeing Xu Pingfan get sent flying so easily, Xu Qi hurriedly flashed forward, catching Xu Pingfan just before he hit the wall behind.

"Uncle Mang, why did you go easy on me? How am I supposed to test my true strength?" Xu Qi pouted as he caught Xu Pingfan.

"Young Master," cough cough, "I did not go easy on you; I used all my strength." Being a fifth stage Essence Swordsman himself, he was sent flying in a single strike from a 6-year-old child. Not only that, Xu Qi caught him even before he fell. What kind of strength was that? What kind of movement technique was that? Xu Pingfan was dumbfounded thinking of what just happened. Even Rivulet City's Captain Li Hai could never repel him with a single strike. Could it be that his young master was truly a monster?!

"All your strength? Why is it so weak then; it's like I was hitting tofu. You must be kidding, right, Uncle Mang? It can't be that you're really injured," Xu Qi doubted, but he saw Xu Pingfan starting to cough. It doesn't seem to be an act, which surprised him. Xu Qi's always thought Xu Pingfan was going easy on him.

"Young Master, I'm not injured. It's just that your palm strike was too overbearing. What kind of movement technique grants such speed? Also, how did you cultivate to such a ridiculously strong level? Young Master..." Xu Pingfan was surrounded by endless doubt, causing him to unceasingly question.

Xu Qi started rolling his eyes in his heart, thinking, All I did was eat a pill and three fruits, and I've become that powerful? Is cultivation that easy?

Xu Pingfan stopped asking, seeing as Xu Qi did not bother to answer his questions. However, his heart could not calm his thoughts, Young Master has shown so much change after the death of his parents. I can't accept this at all; could there be an expert giving him guidance? But I have never noticed anything was amiss, and Young Master has never left the mansion. What is going on?

It seems like everything left behind by Venerable Ziyan are treasures in their own rights; I have to seriously cultivate! This time, Xu Qi recognized that Venerable Ziyan's belongings could possibly be all priceless treasures.

In fact, the treasures Xu Qi acquired were all priceless treasures amassed by Venerable Ziyan during his 10,000 years of cultivation. If Venerable Ziyan were to get wind of Xu Qi's thinking, he would probably jump out of his grave, then die of anger again.

"That, er... Uncle Mang..." Xu Qi suddenly felt embarrassed.

Hearing Xu Qi calling for him, Xu Pingfan hurriedly collected his thoughts and replied respectfully, "Young Master?"
