"Bah! Damn it, it's so spicy!"
Ye Tian cursed and gently applied the chewed Coagulation Grass to Cold Frost's wound.
"Is this... really going to work?" The Tall and Slim Boy questioned with a look of doubt after seeing Ye Tian's simple treatment method.
"Hmph! If she wakes up, then everything will be fine. But if it doesn't work and we waste precious time for treatment..." The burly boy named Leng Yong snorted coldly and glared at Ye Tian with malice.
In the face of Leng Yong's threat, Ye Tian replied indifferently, "If you don't trust me, just leave. I’m not obligated to detoxify her!"
"Leng Yong! You should take the guards back first and say that we've found Xiaoshuang and that everything is safe," Cold Moon said coldly, seemingly unable to tolerate Leng Yong's bullying demeanor.
"But Miss! Second Miss is still in danger!" Leng Yong shouted loudly, oblivious to the situation.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Cold Moon's icy face, but she did not explode. Meanwhile, the Tall and Slim Boy, Leng Ping, understanding the situation well, gave Leng Yong a knowing look and said, "Sister Ningyue wants you to go back; you should return now."
Leng Yong glanced at Leng Ping, hesitated for a moment, and then left with his men.
"Don't worry; she will definitely wake up within a short while," Ye Tian reassured upon noticing the concern in Cold Moon and Leng Ping's eyes.
"Little brother, I believe in you!" Cold Moon smiled slightly at Ye Tian and spoke softly.
Time passed slowly, and the room fell into silence.
Finally, after a short while since Leng Yong had left, Cold Frost slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake! Awake!"
Excited shouts suddenly echoed in the hut.
Cold Frost slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was an extremely shabby thatched house, followed by her sister Cold Moon and her cousin Leng Ping. Ye Tian, who had saved her, was leaning against the door, staring blankly at the deep night sky.
"Sister... where is this..." Cold Frost weakly asked.
"This is his home, and he is the one who saved you!" Cold Moon pointed at Ye Tian and said gently.
At that moment, Ye Tian also returned to the room and took out a few Dan Pills from a small bottle. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "Earlier in the forest, I thought you were just pretending, so I spoke like that. I'm sorry. This is a blood-replenishing Dan Pill; take it as an apology."
Cold Frost looked at Ye Tian and suddenly smiled sweetly, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Brother Ye Tian."
"You know each other?" Cold Moon asked in surprise.
"N-No, we don't know each other!" Ye Tian was also taken aback. Cold Frost was the beloved daughter of Cold Bo Stone, the head of the Cold Family. It was truly unbelievable that she knew his name.
However, a sense of satisfaction soon arose within him.
It turns out there are still people in this world who care about me...
Ye Tian thought to himself, a beautiful smile appearing on his face.
"I heard others say that you are the person who can take the most hits in Spirit Martial Town!"
“......”
“......”
Cold Moon and Leng Ping exchanged speechless glances, wondering how their sister could be so tactless.
Ye Tian's expression suddenly stiffened, and he awkwardly said, “Alright, alright! You all should leave now; I need to rest!”
Such an 'honest' girl forced Ye Tian to issue an eviction notice. If she stayed any longer, the impressive image of his medical skills he had just established would surely come crashing down.
...
“Bastard! Get out here!”
Just as Ye Tian was about to send his guests away, a shout came from outside the house.
The three members of the Cold Family looked at Ye Tian simultaneously, with Cold Moon's gaze filled with curiosity and a desire to help.
However, Ye Tian did not want anyone interfering in his affairs. He chuckled and said, “It's nothing, just a few old friends. Don't mind their rude words!”
The others nodded hesitantly and then said, “We won't disturb you any longer. Tomorrow I will send someone with a generous gift; I truly appreciate your saving grace for my sister!”
“Hey! It was just a small effort!” Ye Tian was not opposed to the so-called generous gift; after all, the Cold Family was not lacking in wealth.
As he sent the three out the door, they ran into Wang Hu leading seven or eight young men, with Li Ding and Li Li standing on either side of Wang Hu, wearing expressions of arrogance.
"Hey! There's a helper here, and she's so beautiful..." Wang Hu's words trailed off as he got a clearer look at the 'helper' as they drew closer.
"Heh, I wondered who it was. Turns out it's you!" Leng Ping scoffed upon seeing Wang Hu.
Wang Hu and Leng Ping had crossed paths a few times, but since Leng Ping was only a fifth-tier martial artist like Wang Hu, he didn't regard him highly. What truly made him wary was the ice-cold beauty beside Leng Ping—Cold Moon.
"Sister Ningyue! Heh, what brings you to this godforsaken place?" Wang Hu completely ignored Leng Ping and addressed Cold Moon.
Cold Moon had no interest in sparring with these younger ones. With a light snort, she turned to Ye Tian and said, "Ye Tian, if you need anything, just come find me at the Cold Family. Don't worry, I'll help you within my capabilities!" She then turned and walked away.
Cold Frost, following behind, winked at Ye Tian and smiled, "Brother Ye Tian, let's play together sometime!"
...
As the three from the Cold Family departed, the atmosphere in the arena began to grow tense.
Wang Hu was the first to break the silence, pointing at Ye Tian and saying, "Bastard, I heard you've been showing off your skills?"
Ye Tian coldly smiled but did not answer Wang Hu's question. Instead, he retorted, "Are you here looking for a fight today?"
Wang Hu remained surprisingly calm at this remark and slowly replied, "A Three-Stage Martial Artist defeating two Four-Stage Martial Artists... I guess I underestimated you before. However..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Hu suddenly made his move. With the strength of a fifth-tier martial artist, his fist sliced through the air with a slight sound of breaking air aimed directly at Ye Tian's face. As he attacked, he continued his sentence.
"That won't work here!"
Faced with the sudden and fierce attack from Wang Hu, Ye Tian let out a cold snort and simultaneously threw a punch. Although the sound of breaking air was barely perceptible, it still startled everyone present.
"Looking at the power behind his punch, he must have reached the level of a Four-Stage Martial Artist!" Li Li exclaimed in shock.
Li Ding recalled the painful experience of taking half a year to advance from the Third Stage to the Fourth Stage and was also dumbfounded. "He improved a whole stage overnight! The speed of his cultivation is terrifying!"
Wang Hu noticed Ye Tian's strength as well, but he sneered contemptuously in his heart. "Four stages? This wild child is becoming more and more surprising!"
Bang!
As everyone watched with anticipation, the two fists collided heavily, accompanied by a muffled sound. A very subtle airflow spread out from the center of their fists.
Immediately after, Ye Tian was knocked back two steps by Wang Hu, while Wang Hu remained standing still, wearing a smug expression.
The group of underlings burst into laughter at this outcome. Although they were amazed by Ye Tian's cultivation speed, the result showed that Wang Hu was still stronger.
"It seems Brother Wang Hu is still impressive!"
"Even if this kid has reached the Fourth Stage, he is no match for Brother Wang Hu! Brother Wang Hu is a whole stage above him!"
They began to praise Wang Hu enthusiastically. In the past, they would have been busy flattering Wang Hu while insulting Ye Tian, but now, unknowingly, only the former remained in their praises. Of course, this change might be something they themselves had not even noticed.
Amidst the crowd's compliments, Wang Hu's expression quickly turned grim. Although he appeared to have the upper hand on the surface, he understood that even though he had only used eighty percent of his strength, as a Five-Stage Martial Artist, he should have easily knocked down a Four-Stage Martial Artist. Yet this kid had only been pushed back slightly!
Wang Hu's heart began to race with anxiety, but he maintained his composure outwardly.
"Kid! Just now I only used five layers of strength, but now I'm going to use my full power! If you kneel down and call me 'Grandpa' three times, I'll spare your life tonight!"
Ye Tian chuckled and gestured politely. He understood that Wang Hu had come so late because of the Moonless Night with Strong Winds, and they were here to kill him tonight. Of course, this aligned perfectly with Ye Tian's intentions.
Because, who would be the victor was still uncertain!
"You wild brat dare to be arrogant! I will make you understand that in front of me, you are always no match!"
After saying that, Wang Hu's figure surged as he unleashed all his strength to deliver a powerful punch aimed at Ye Tian's vital point.
Facing Wang Hu's obviously full-force attack, Ye Tian did not dodge or defend; he simply stood still, a confident smile on his face.
"Is this kid crazy?"
"With Brother Wang Hu attacking with full force, he probably can't escape now!"
The fist was just an inch away from Ye Tian's chest, yet he remained motionless. At this moment, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Hu's mouth: "Have you given up resisting? Then I'll make it easy for you!"
"Go to hell!"
With Wang Hu's furious shout, his powerful fist was less than half an inch from Ye Tian's vital point.
In just a blink, this wild brat's Dantian could be smashed to pieces!
But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. Ye Tian's arm suddenly shot out, seemingly growing several inches in an instant, and then, before Wang Hu could believe it, he struck firmly at Wang Hu's vital point!
"Boom!"
Wang Hu's sturdy body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
"......"
Faced with the motionless Wang Hu lying on the ground, the arena fell into silence.
However, after a moment, countless voices of panic erupted.
"Brother Wang Hu has been defeated!"
"How is that possible!"
"Is he unconscious or... dead?!"
The person who had been bullied and scolded for years was now able to knock out the strongest among them, Wang Hu, with a single move. Ye Tian's transformation filled everyone with an indescribable sense of astonishment.
Is he still that fragile wildling?
Clearly! He is not!
