As soon as he realized that Xu Baocai was coming, Bai Xiaochun rose to his feet.
“Well, he came sooner than expected ..” thought, his eyes flashing hesitantly. Even though he had done all he could to prepare for this past half a year, he still did not feel ready. As far as he was concerned, the best option was to go into conflict at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. Only then will he feel safe.
Seeing Xu Baocai coming with a group of seven others, Bai Xiaochun knew that hiding was not an option. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Good! I'm gonna do it! ”
Taking a deep breath, he quickly put on eight leather coats, and then placed a spare frying pan on his back. That was when he nervously opened the door and stepped out.
The first thing he saw was Big Fat Zhang and the others coming out from the front gate, lifting up the meat knives and the kitchen big spoons as they blocked the path of Xu Baocai and his companions.
“I wonder why I heard the raven blabbing this morning,” Big Fat Zhang roared, his voice echoing like thunder as he stood there, tall and like a mountain. “It turns out, a group of brats from the Supervisory Department decided to come cause a commotion here at the Oven!”
“Other people may be afraid of the Oven, Big Fat Zhang, but the Supervisory Department doesn't care about you. We received a complaint from Junior Brother Xu, and we are here with the authority of the Supervisor Department. Do you really dare to fight us? ” Seven arrogant-looking men swarming around Xu Baocai. Although they were dressed in waiter uniforms, their sleeves were prominently embroidered with the character of ‘Supervisor’, indicating that they were from the Supervisor Department, and had status and strength surpassing ordinary servants.
One of the men was a burly man who looked as tough as a tiger and as sturdy as a bear. He exuded the third level spirit pressure of Qi Condensation, and his eyes glittered coldly as he stared at Big Fatty Zhang. Apparently, he was not at all bothered by Big Fatty Zhang and the others.
“Omong empty!” replied Big Fatty Zhang. “He tried to kill my sister. How do you explain that !? ” He then laughed coldly as his hand whistled through the air, causing the large black frying pan on his back to suddenly fly into the air, looking extremely majestic. The group of burly men looked on with flickering expressions, and to the burly man himself, his eyes widened. Then his hand flickered in a spell motion, causing a small flag to flutter. Fog gushed out from the flag, from which the roar of a savage beast could be heard.
Even as the figurative sword was being drawn, Xu Baocai saw Bai Xiaochun stepping out of the thatched hut, and all his previous grudges and hatred erupted within him.
“Bai Xiaochun !!” he roars.
As soon as those words came out of Xu Baocai's mouth, he waved his hand, sending his wooden sword flying out.
A look of shock was seen on the faces of Big Fatty Zhang and the others. Just as they were about to jump to stop the wooden sword, the burly man from the Supervisory Department laughed coldly and blocked their path.
However, at the same time Bai Xiaochun, with red eyes, roared, “Xu Baocai, you have pushed something too far! You and I will try our hardest! ”
Bai Xiaochun's heart was pounding. He had never really fought all his life, let alone a magical fight against another cultivator.
He was so nervous that he trembled. Roaring to build up his own courage, he released the strength of the third level of Qi Condensation, holding nothing back from his cultivation base. He poured all his spiritual energy into his wooden sword, then waved his finger to send it flying towards Xu Baocai.
As the wooden sword whistled through the air, the two designs hidden by the striking paint flickered slightly. Suddenly, the sword enlarged and exploded with an oppressive coldness as it struck Xu Baocai.
The speed and majesty of his shots in the air caused Big Fatty Zhang, as well as the group from the Supervisory Department, to gasp and stare in astonishment. As the ferocious aura of the sword filled the area, all hearts were attacked with shock, and suddenly, no one was interested in fighting anymore, and instead stared at the sword.
Xu Baocai hadn't even gotten close to Bai Xiaochun, and was terrified because of his energy. From what he knew, this version of Bai Xiaochun was completely different from the person he had faced a few months before. The way he gritted his teeth and looked like he was trying his hardest caused Xu Baocai's heart to be filled with shock.
Furthermore, his eyes widened in disbelief as he saw Bai Xiaochun's wooden sword speeding towards him. It was like a stream of white light, exploding with the kind of energy that he only saw during fights between Outer Sect disciples. He was so flabbergasted that his scalp was numb.
An explosion rang out as Bai Xiaochun's wooden sword struck Xu Baocai. Xu Baocai's wooden sword trembled, completely unable to stand with the force of the punch. Starting from the end, it was smashed into pieces. In the blink of an eye, it completely shattered, turning into countless glittering fragments.
As for Bai Xiaochun's wooden sword, it didn't even stop. It continued shooting through the air towards Xu Baocai, who was at this point scared to death. Using all the power he could muster, he dodged. A wooden sword whistled past him, slicing his shoulder in the process, and then slashing into a nearby tree.
Luckily for him, Bai Xiaochun was not very adept at controlling physical objects. Otherwise, the sword would have killed him.
“Third level Qi condensation! Impossible! This is impossible!” Xu Baocai looked at Bai Xiaochun, and he looked terrified as if he had just seen a ghost. To be able to unleash such power in a wooden sword obviously required a third level of Qi Condensation, and he could not imagine how Bai Xiaochun could make such an amazing transformation in just a few months. Things were going the opposite as he had imagined, which he could not possibly accept. It seems like he was in a living nightmare.
He was not the only one surprised. The burly man from the Supervisory Department and all his friends all gasped and looked at Bai Xiaochun with a serious expression.
“Shaping sharpness with spiritual energy and releasing sword light! It was only possible by cultivating the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art into the Lightness-in-Heaviness Realm! There was no other way to unleash such a divine ability! ” The burly man from the Supervisory Department gasped, and fear could now be seen in his eyes as he looked at Bai Xiaochun.
His comrades had exactly the same reaction, and there was almost no need to mention the Big Fat Zhang and the others, who were also extremely shocked. Although they sensed that Bai Xiaochun had reached the third level of Qi Condensation, the fact that he could cause sword light to come out from the wooden sword, and also make it grow bigger, was very important, indicating that he had actually reached the Lightness-in-Heaviness Realm, something they were completely unaware of before.
Even Bai Xiaochun was slightly shaken by what had just happened with the wooden sword. He looked at the fallen tree, then at Xu Baocai's pale face, and suddenly lowered his head and laughed.
“So, Xu Baocai, it turns out you are the weak one! My sword! ” Glad that he was clearly stronger than Xu Baocai, Bai Xiaochun immediately started chasing Xu Baocai, laughing the entire time.
Bai Xiaochun's gaze caused Xu Baocai to tremble, and his hurried scenery, laughing out loud, was truly frightening. Xu Baocai immediately rushed to escape.
However, he could only take a few steps before Bai Xiaochun was on top of him. As he approached, Bai Xiaochun could not help but think about how Xu Baocai chased after him endlessly, forcing him to spend so many bitter days practicing cultivation. That bitterness turned into strength, which he now used to ruthlessly kick Xu Baocai.
“Let's see you try to kill me again!” he shouted, punching Xu Baocai in the eye. Xu Baocai let out a pitiful scream and fell to the ground. He wanted to fight back, but his cultivation base was only at the second level of Qi Condensation, making him powerless to do anything to Bai Xiaochun.
“You provoked Young Master, so now he will show you that he cannot be taken lightly!” Enraged by anger, Bai Xiaochun continued kicking and punching Xu Baocai, who was now wailing in grief.
The sound of cracks could be heard which caused the burly man and the others from the Supervisory Department, as well as Big Fatty Zhang and the others, to all stare in shock. They watched as Xu Baocai was beaten, and Bai Xiaochun excitedly performed a beating, and their hearts pounded in fear.
Tears flowed down Xu Baocai's face, and his heart was overwhelmed with sadness. He still could not believe that Bai Xiaochun had undergone such a drastic transformation in just a few months. What was even more unbelievable was that he could use the divine ability of Lightness-in-Heaviness. It was something that would be impossible to achieve without years of work and significant skills.
In his mind, Bai Xiaochun clearly had to have someone strong help him. Furthermore, he was definitely stronger than he had let on before. However, due to his despicable and shameless personality, he pretended to be weak. The most embarrassing thing was that Xu Baocai was completely in love with the act.
At that moment, Xu Baocai was overwhelmed with grief, and fainted just like that.
Seeing Xu Baocai fall unconscious, Bai Xiaochun patted the dust off his clothes and then waved his hand, causing his wooden sword to fly up his sleeve. Then, looking at every part of the lonely hero, he did his best to hide the excitement in his eyes.
The burly man from the Supervisory Department looked at him deeply, his expression conflicted. Finally, he held hands and bowed.
“Junior Brother Bai, you did a good job of hiding your true strength,” he said, his face expressionless. “You have earned our admiration.” Then, he turned around and left with his friends, taking the unconscious Xu Baocai and taking him along as well.
After they left, Big Fatty Zhang and the others crowded around Bai Xiaochun, smiling widely. After all, the people from the Supervisory Department were outsiders, and they knew that Bai Xiaochun had been working hard for the past few months. They are therefore happy with the overall result.
“Good work, Son. You didn't kill yourself for half a year without success! ” Big Fatty Zhang patted Bai Xiaochun on the shoulder.
“Accurate once. I worked so hard that I was even afraid of myself! ” Bai Xiaochun raised his chin proudly like an arrogant rooster, as if challenging Big Fat Zhang and the others to laugh at him again.
