Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 446  Chapter 37: Two Slaps of Suppression_3

Many people were growing angry.

Ji Qingyuan stood up, aware that Ji Daoxin was using his spiritual thought to probe, but he was neither Ji Daoxin nor from the direct lineage of the Ji Family. Even as a War God, he couldn't rashly explore around on the Sacred Mountain. He slightly bowed his hands and said,

"I originally wanted to let Qing Shuang have a little test, but it seems unnecessary now. I will go and see just how capable this prodigy is. The half-blood of the direct lineage must also be quite powerful."

With a light smile, he bid farewell to the family head and left for the outside of the hall.

As he stood up, the others weren't delayed further, and they, too, bid their farewells to the family head before hurrying off to watch the spectacle unfold.

"That child..."

Several individuals from the lineage of Ji Yun Ge also changed their expressions, not expecting the child to be so impulsive. They swiftly stood up to say goodbye, hastily rushing to avert a bitter defeat for their side.

The other onlookers turned their gaze to Ji Daoxin, only to see a hint of surprise on his face, showing no intention of stopping Ji Qingyuan and others from leaving.

...

...

With a loud bang!

A figure suddenly flew out, smashing through the doors of the Guest Reception Hall and tumbling onto the street outside.

At the side, a youth with his hands behind his back changed his expression, looking somewhat grimly ahead.

At the doorway, Ji Boduan's expression also changed, not bothering to assist the youth who had rolled out, but quickly running into the midst of the people inside the hall,

"Everyone, please calm down. This is the Guest Reception Hall, where fighting is not allowed."

"Get out of the way!"

The youth with his hands behind his back said bluntly.

Ji Boduan's expression changed, looking quite unpleased.

The youth, however, ignored him and kept his eyes fixed intently on the calmly seated youth opposite. He had initially sent his followers to do the job, unwilling to dirty his own hands, but he didn't expect that the other party was more skilled than anticipated, effortlessly beating his follower.

The youth was none other than Ji Yufen, one of the Ji Family's prodigies. Seeing that he was of similar age to Li Hao, he had intended to come teach him a lesson; after all, it wouldn't be seen as bullying this way.

The follower by his side was also a talent of the Ji Family, though still some distance away from being a prodigy. Thus, he chose to follow one, hoping that when the prodigy rose meteorically in the future, the follower could benefit, possibly being promoted to a higher position within the Ji Family.

"It seems you do have some skills, no wonder you are so arrogant. Do you think you can make your way into our Ji Family with just that?"

Ji Yufen's eyes were cold as he spoke.

He strode towards Li Hao, wanting to deal with him personally.

"Young Master Yufen, you mustn't break the rules..."

Ji Boduan hurriedly intervened.

"Out of my way!"

Ji Yufen suddenly erupted with aura, his young age betraying the burst of Immortal Realm energy he emitted, which soared to its peak, reaching the Unwithering Realm!

With an angry shout, he repelled Ji Boduan and then stepped out firmly like a dragon or a tiger, coming to a stop in front of Li Hao.

"Change your surname now and leave the Ji Family, there's still time!"

He looked down from above, gazing at the youth who was sitting before him.

The teacup in Li Hao's hands, which was for welcoming guests, paused for a moment.

"Who might you be?"

Li Hao turned his head to look at him.

"You do not need to know who I am, nor are you worthy of knowing!" Ji Yufen said, his eyes cold.

Li Hao indifferently withdrew his gaze, took a sip of the tea from his cup, finishing it, and then spoke,

"When I asked who you are, I didn't truly want to know. I was merely wondering, who are you to tell me what my surname should be?"

"Because this is the Ji Family, and because you are a mongrel, not worthy of the Ji name!"

Ji Yufen said angrily.

A flicker of cold light passed through Li Hao's eyes. He looked at the furious young man before him and slowly placed his teacup down, then rose to his feet at a measured pace.

Ji Yufen refrained from striking, unwilling to launch a sneak attack.

As a prodigy, he had his pride.

His angry eyes watched Li Hao, who had been shorter when seated, but now stood a head taller. The other was younger, yet taller than he was.

This fact made Ji Yufen's countenance turn even uglier.

"It seems the Ji Family's family discipline is generally not very impressive," Li Hao said quietly.

Before the young man in front of him had a chance to get angry, there was a slap, and suddenly, a loud sound of a slap echoed through the air.

Ji Yufen's head jerked to the side, his mind buzzing, blood spurting from his mouth, his "Kunyu Bao Body" actually broke under Li Hao's slap.

"I'm only reluctantly teaching you on behalf of your parents."

Li Hao's gaze was cold, and then he looked up towards the outside of the Guest Reception Hall, sensing the many onlooking presences, and said in a cold voice,

"Whose child is this? Could it be that you want me to kill him right here before someone comes to claim the body?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone outside the hall was shocked. Many of them had seen the scene through their Divine Souls. Ji Yufen, who was about the same age as Li Hao, had actually been slapped in the face by Li Hao!

"You, you!"

At this moment, Ji Yufen had come to his senses, with an incredulous expression on his face, but what followed was a sensation as if all the blood in his body was rushing to the top of his head, feeling like it was about to explode.

"You're courting death!!"

He roared, his aura suddenly surging, and in an instant, his flesh expanded, crackling.

Behind him, the phantom of an ancient ferocious beast, the Kunpeng, emerged, emanating an extremely fierce and violent aura.

But before he could burst forth with an attack, a second slap followed.

This time, his head was directly smashed into the stone slabs at Li Hao's feet, deeply embedded into it!

The Kunpeng phantom also dispersed with the slap, dissolving into a shadow.

"What, do you only stop when I beat you to death?"

Li Hao withdrew his hand, his icy gaze slowly sweeping the outside.

The onlookers who had rushed over were almost scared to make a sound, unable to believe that this young man had just subdued Ji Yufen with two slaps!

Ji Boduan's eyes widened in shock, somewhat taken aback.

Although he knew that Li Hao had escorted Ji Yun Ge back, with Ji Yun Ge's strength, it was uncertain who was actually guarding whom.

The age of this young man looked no more than fifteen or sixteen. Even among the Ji Family's prodigies, like Ji Yufen, who was one of the youngest and had reached the Unwithering Realm at fifteen, he was still in the Unwithering Realm at seventeen, but could comprehend the Dao Heart at any moment.

Yet now, he had been easily defeated by Li Hao?

"What an arrogant tone!"

In the high skies outside the hall, several figures emerged, radiating immense aura without concealment.

They were dressed extraordinarily and carried themselves with confidence, their eyes cold and sharp, all of them prodigies from various branches of the Ji Family.

"This is the Ji Family, and yet you dare to hurt others at will. Did you learn our Ji Family's Cultivation Technique from your mother? Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite and using my strength against a junior!"

A young man stepped forward, his aura suddenly unfurled, revealing the atmosphere of the Four Stands Realm.

The crowd gathered nearby was utterly surprised.

"That's Ji Mingque, who is considered a strong figure among the prodigies."

"The outsider who just defeated Ji Yufen seemed pretty strong too!"

"With no real skill, War God Yun Ge would not have praised him so highly, claiming he is certain to become a prodigy of our Ji Family. It seems he truly has the strength."

"But does this person think our Ji Family is some rundown place he used to stay? Even prodigies must lie prostrate and be obedient in our Ji Family!"

"I think, since this person escorted War God Yun Ge back, after all, he has made a contribution to our Ji Family. Is it really okay to treat him like this?"

Many people sent out their Spiritual Thoughts, observing from afar, chattering amongst themselves.

Li Hao frowned slightly, not expecting the Ji Family's aversion to outsiders to be so intense. He had thought that most people would be as sensible as Ji Yun Ge, but it seemed Ji Yun Ge was just a small part of the Ji Family.

"War God Yun Ge said you are a prodigy, right? If you want to join our Ji Family and rank among us, let's see if you have the skill!"

The youth named Ji Mingque spoke with a cold gaze, looking down at Li Hao from the void. He was more mature than Ji Yufen and did not rashly act on his own dissatisfaction before the decision on how to deal with Li Hao was made from above.

"To be ranked among you would be an insult to me,"

Li Hao replied quietly.

"You're courting death!"

Ji Mingque was momentarily stunned, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He had thought they were proud enough, yet this young man in front of him was even more outrageous!

"If you can withstand my spear, then I will acknowledge you!"

He suddenly made a move, flipping out his long spear, and the space around seemed to resonate with it.

The spear's light condensed, embodying the true might of Martial Tao Extreme Meaning, with a terrifying spear force concentrated at one point, violently thrusting towards Li Hao.
