Chapter 15 - CHALLENGING

The crowd suddenly erupted, especially Xu Jing. In his dream, he never thought that Xu Yuan would be hiding his cultivation achievements.

"Good grief! I didn't expect that young master Xu Yuan would actually be hiding his cultivation level!"

"Young master Xu Yuan's strength is extraordinary, he is only 14 years old, he is already at the 9th level of the Birth stage!"

"Looks like today really is young master Xu Huo's execution day!"

"Geez! How can young master Xu Yuan be so strong?!"

"He actually hid his cultivation level so well!"

Everyone started talking about how strong Xu Yuan was. Xu Yuan himself was silent on the execution stage and looked at Xu Huo's frightened expression.

Xu Yuan laughed, "Haha, are you scared? Where is your courage? Huh, really unpleasant," he lamented because Xu Huo didn't make a sound this time.

Xu Huo still didn't respond to Xu Yuan's words. He averted his gaze and looked at his father with pitying eyes.

"Father! Help me! I ask!" he shouted, asking Xu Jing so he could escape Xu Yuan's cruel trap.

Xu Jing sighed in exasperation. He didn't expect that Xu Yuan would be so strong, and why was his son so stupid and careless? In a situation like this, Xu Huo would only worsen his reputation as the Xu Family's first Elder.

But after all, the one who asked for his help was his son. He obviously couldn't stand still watching his son being killed in front of so many people.

"Xu Yuan! I told you before that if you try to kill my son, then you will become my mortal enemy!" he shouted, threatening Xu Yuan.

Luo Jing Yan, who was standing not far from him, suddenly floated up and stood right in front of Xu Jing, "If that's the case, then you will become the Xu Family's biggest enemy," he said calmly but coldly.

After all, Luo Jing Yan was the wife of the head of the Xu family, who held the highest office, and her strength was no joke either. Luo Jing Yan was also known as the 'Demonic Woman' because she would kill anyone who dared to interfere in her path.

Xu Yuan, who saw his mother trying to protect him, couldn't help but smile faintly. His mother was always there when he was in danger, but this time even Xu Jing's existence he didn't see as a danger to him.

Only a cultivator at the Tribulation Path stage would truly harm him.

Xu Jing looked at Luo Jing Yan in annoyance, "Luo Jing Yan, even though you are my sister's wife, but I'm still the first Elder in the Xu Family, you can't threaten to antagonize me just like that!"

Luo Jing Yan replied, "Even so I will still kill you if you dare to touch a strand of my son's hair and the post of First Elder will be filled by someone else. That's easy."

Xu Yuan was stunned by his mother's sharp words, and it seemed that Xu Yuan, who came from the Cultivator Land, had inherited his mother's nature.

Xu Jing was getting more and more annoyed with Luo Jing Yan's actions. Even so, she had to save her child anyway.

Suddenly a voice interrupted them, "Mother, just let Uncle Xu do as he pleases. After all, I won't be hurt or killed, mother, don't worry," Xu Yuan said.

Luo Jing Yan looked into his son's eyes which were calm like water, and he knew that Xu Yuan was not lying. After all, she is the mother who knows her child's movements best.

Luo Jing Yan backed away slowly and let Xu Yuan sort things out on his own, "Okay, mother won't interfere in your business..."

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes watched Xu Yuan, and it was Xu Liang, Xu Yuan's father, and Xu Family Head.

"I can't believe my son would hide his cultivation so neatly, I didn't even know it," he said and sighed.

Returning to the city square, Xu Jing looked at Xu Yuan in disbelief. How could Xu Yuan confidently say that he wouldn't be hurt?

To help his son, he was willing to commit his son, even if he had to kill Xu Yuan.

"Xu Yuan! Let's have a good talk or I'll kill you!" Xu Jing shouted in annoyance.

Xu Yuan looked into Xu Jing's eyes with a pitiful look, "Uncle, I know that uncle really loves me, but still I am the young master of the Xu Family, the son of the Xu Family Head. I could easily get rid of you if I wanted to…."

"…But I won't do that, instead you can have a match between me and a few of your choosing, if I lose then I'll let Xu Huo go, if I win I'll kill him !"

Xu Yuan's words made anyone who heard him even more interested. However, the matter that happened was no ordinary matter, but rather a 'disabled' child was going to fight with some of Xu Jing's chosen ones.

Xu Jing's eyes lit up when she heard Xu Yuan's offer, and she couldn't just throw this opportunity away. For the sake of saving Xu Huo, he would do anything.

"Alright, then I'll pick a few--" Xu Yuan was cut off.

"Eh, no, I don't want to fight with your chosen ones, but rather I want to fight with uncle Xu Jing myself, how about that?"

Suddenly the whole crowd fell silent.

A 9th tier Nativity stage cultivator wanting to fight a 3rd tier Transformation stage? Isn't that the same as seeking death?

"You naive! I was kind enough to pick a few people on your level, but you're just getting more and more impudent!" he shouted angrily.

He could have fought against Xu Yuan, but what was the benefit? The one with the lower reputation. Even if he won against Xu Yuan, it would be not very meaningful because he was destined to be the victor.

"I? Naive? Uncle won't know until uncle himself beats me. Don't you want your son to live?" he said sarcastically.

The crowd also thought that Xu Yuan's actions were a little naive. How could he who was at the Birth stage beat Xu Jing who was at the Transformation stage?

Meanwhile, Xu Liang, Xu Yuan's father, was getting more and more interested in the spectacle that his son provided, "You little brat, where did his courage come from?"

Xu Liang was also curious about his son's behavior. The level between Birth level 9 and Transformation was too far away, while Xu Jing was at the Transformation level 3 stage, it was clear he knew who the winner was.

But Xu Liang didn't stop Xu Yuan, and he was confident in his son's abilities.

Xu Jing replied to Xu Yuan's words, "Very well, if your wish is to be defeated by me, you will immediately accept it,"
