The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Insolent brat!”

Wen Zhongxian had never heard such arrogant words before. Immediately, he exploded with anger and tried to grab Xiao Shun’s shoulder.

Although Wen Zhongxian was old, his strength far exceeded that of Wen Xuan, a younger member of the family. With his powerful move, he exuded an imposing aura.

Frowning, Xiao Shun couldn’t bear Wen Zhongxian’s provocation any longer. He used two fingers to counter the hand reaching out towards him.

At this critical moment, Gu Baiyi calmly appeared behind Wen Zhongxian and pulled him away. Then, with a palm, he pushed Xiao Shun’s fingers away.

“Bang!”

Xiao Shun’s fingers were blocked, causing him to pause for a moment. But he quickly regained his composure and moved to face Gu Baiyi head-on.

Without any surprise, Gu Baiyi raised his palm and struck at Xiao Shun’s chest with full force. This was a serious attack.

The palm strike carried an indescribable force that dominated everything in its path. However, Xiao Shun completely ignored it and retaliated with a punch that was as fierce as a dragon.

In an instant, their fist and palm violently collided. Then, Gu Baiyi’s expression froze, and a touch of confusion appeared in his eyes.

“Dududu…”

Under the impact of the violent force within their bodies, Gu Baiyi took three steps back, while Xiao Shun remained motionless.

The entire arena fell silent in an instant.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Gu Baiyi had been forced back?

Countless people couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.

However, to some experts, this was not unexpected. After all, Gu Baiyi was caught off guard earlier because he had hastily come to Wen Zhongxian’s aid. Naturally, he would be taken by surprise by Xiao Shun.

After stabilizing his position, Gu Baiyi’s face returned to normal, and he calmly said, “It seems that you have recovered faster than I imagined.”

Xiao Shun gave a slight smile and didn’t say much.

Seeing this, Gu Baiyi coldly glanced at Xiao Shun before turning to the solemn Wen Zhongxian.

“Vice President Wen, let’s go back for now. We can discuss anything after the competition ends.”

Hearing this, Wen Zhongxian glared fiercely at Xiao Shun but reluctantly nodded. Even if he held a grudge, he had no choice now that Gu Baiyi had spoken. However, he knew one thing for sure: Xiao Shun would never leave the venue alive today.

With this in mind, Wen Zhongxian couldn’t help but feel a bit confused, thinking that his actions earlier had been unnecessary. After all, even if he didn’t send Xiao Shun back to the Wen family for execution, Gu Baiyi and the Old School Society would never let this guy go.

And so, the farce came to an end.

Gu Baiyi and Wen Zhongxian returned to the high platform in the east, while Xiao Shun walked back to the preparation area, waiting for the start of the next round.

The expressions of the participants in the preparation area couldn’t help but reveal some fear when they looked at Xiao Shun. After all, he had just fought against Gu Baiyi, a formidable opponent.

But there were some who harbored no fear towards him. In fact, they even had some resentment.

Among them were Wen Ting and Zhang Qian, naturally standing at the forefront. Both of them had indirectly been humiliated by Xiao Shun’s side before and now felt furious seeing him full of confidence.

Yang Tiancai didn’t care about their feelings as he praised Xiao Shun without reservation, jokingly pretending to kneel before him in front of Wen Ting.

“Haha, Master, your performance just now was truly amazing. It made your disciples’ blood boil. I thought Wen Xuan would defeat me, but I never expected you to surpass him!”

Listening to this, Wen Ting’s face turned pale and green, but she controlled her anger and didn’t act on her thoughts. After all, she was now the only one left in the preparation area since both Wen Yan and Wen Xuan had been defeated. She was in a vulnerable position.

As for Yang Tiancai, he was the kind of person who would willingly flatter someone if he gained any benefits. Seeing Wen Ting’s reaction, his enthusiasm only grew, not hesitating to belittle Wen Xuan and admire Xiao Shun.

“Say what you want, but can you speak without your mouth getting dry?”

Song Linger was annoyed by Yang Tiancai’s incessant chatter.

Chuckling, Yang Tiancai said, “Hehe, those two were so arrogant. I just couldn’t stand it!”

Seeing his righteous appearance, Song Linger subtly nodded towards the strangely acting Wen Yao.

Yang Tiancai immediately understood and cursed himself for being a fool. He had been so absorbed in his own words that he had forgotten about Wen Yao beside him.

Realizing his mistake, he finally closed his mouth and awkwardly sat down.

Meanwhile, Gu Baiyi returned to the stage. Yang Zinuo, with a fragrant breeze trailing her, walked up to him and asked curiously, “What just happened?”

Gu Baiyi understood what she was asking and replied expressionlessly, “Two-way energy!”

Hearing this, Yang Zinuo was taken aback. “What? He can actually…”

She had been standing there earlier and had witnessed Gu Baiyi being pushed back by Xiao Shun’s punch. She couldn’t even begin to imagine how shocked she had been at that moment.

Gu Baiyi was the number one among the younger generation, unparalleled in strength. And Xiao Shun, who had just been defeated by Gu Baiyi, actually possessed such power?

Just as Yang Zinuo was still shocked, Gu Baiyi uttered another sentence that she found even more unacceptable.

“Last time, he couldn’t use his full strength due to certain limitations.”

Yang Zinuo was dumbfounded. “Does that mean that now that he has recovered from his injury, he can compete with you?”

“Compete with me?” Gu Baiyi chuckled. “Haha, he’s not worthy!”

He, Gu Baiyi of the Old School Society, was second only to the Branch Head among the younger generation, considered the pinnacle expert.

On the other hand, Xiao Shun was just an unknown figure. How could he possibly compare to Gu Baiyi? Besides, the reason he was forced back earlier was due to his lack of preparation and not exerting his full strength.

If Xiao Shun had informed some people about his hidden cards, the situation might have been different. But now it was too late for that.

Looking at the confident Gu Baiyi by his side, Yang Zinuo’s mind settled, and her worries were put to rest.

Upon careful consideration, even if Xiao Shun was powerful, there was no way he could be Gu Baiyi’s match. She had simply worried too much earlier.

While Yang Zinuo was lost in thought, time continued to pass slowly.

At 11 a. m., the last four matches of the first round were about to begin, which would lead the Hero Cup into the second round.

Only eight participants would remain after these four matches.

Both Wen Yao and Song Linger looked at the big screen with some expectation, hoping they wouldn’t be matched against each other.

But what Song Linger didn’t expect was that her opponent in the final round would be…
