Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tang Donglai quickly turned around to counterattack.

But he saw Gu Xiaonan kicking at his shin.

His speed was faster than Tang Donglai’s, and Tang Donglai couldn’t dodge in time.

Tang Donglai thought that even if the opponent was fast, he couldn’t possibly be that strong.

However, when Gu Xiaonan’s foot touched Tang Donglai, he realized that he was completely wrong!

The sound of bones cracking came, and Tang Donglai winced in pain.

He couldn’t maintain his balance and staggered backward.

Gu Xiaonan smiled at him with a playful expression, then leaped lightly and landed a punch on his stomach.

Boom!

Tang Donglai was sent flying and landed with a thud outside the arena.

Silence!

A dead silence spread across the whole scene.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The second round of the match ended the fastest on this arena.

Everyone had already expected this.

However, they never thought that the one to win so effortlessly would be this little boy!

The referee announced Gu Xiaonan as the winner.

He stood on the stage, looking at the bewildered Tang Donglai, and said, “Thank you for the match, Uncle.”

Then he leaped lightly off the stage and rushed toward Gu Qingluan.

Tang Donglai’s face flushed as he struggled to get up from the ground.

He actually lost to a little kid!

He wanted to throw the other party off the arena, and now he realized it was a joke!

Tang Donglai returned to the Tang family’s camp, looking dejected.

Wow!

After the initial shock, the crowd suddenly erupted into excitement.

Everyone was discussing how Gu Xiaonan won the match with a single move.

“This kid is a genius! Tang Donglai is at the Eighth Stage of the Earth Realm, but he defeated him so easily. Does that mean he’s already surpassed the Eighth Stage of the Earth Realm? Is he at the Ninth Stage or even the Heavenly Realm?”

“Wow! A five-year-old at the Heavenly Realm? This is unheard of!”

“I think Tang Donglai underestimated him; otherwise, we wouldn’t know who would win.”

“Haha, did you see how fast that child was just now? He appeared behind Tang Donglai in an instant. How could he do that without sufficient strength? Can you do it?”

“No wonder the Gu family arranged him to participate. He really has the strength to compete for the top three.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying! How could the Gu family waste a spot for revenge? It turns out he’s a little genius!”

“Wow, to have such strength at the age of five, if he can grow up smoothly, he will be a monster! By then, there will be no doubt that he will claim the title of the number one genius in Cloud Plains Continent!”

“Well, at five years old, he’s already a top talent. Have you heard of anyone at this age defeating an Eighth-Stage Earth Realm cultivator?”

“Aren’t you curious about how he cultivated his skills? And don’t forget about Gu Qingluan! She was a waste five years ago, but now she’s a top-notch expert in the Heavenly Realm. 1 heard that the Gu family head asked the Li family head to help subdue Miss Gu, but as a result, all the Gu family members were driven out of their original residence! Miss Gu has become quite an extraordinary person now!”

“You have a point there! I also thought of it!”

“I’m sure it has something to do with the Island of No Return!”

“Wow, you might be onto something!”

“Oh no, if it’s related to the Island of No Return, they are truly remarkable!”

“Can I still go and curry favor now?”

“If currying favor was that easy, we would have done it already. Since the last auction, so many people have visited Jun Residence with greeting letters, wanting to make friends with Mr. Liu, but none of them have been able to meet him.”

“Then they should try more than once, there’s still a chance…”

The spectators in the stands were excitedly discussing, marveling at Gu Xiaonan’s strength and curious about the source of his power.

Those who knew Gu Xiaonan were also astonished.

They never expected him to be so powerful.

After all, he was only five years old.

To be precise, he was not even five years old yet! Such a young child already possessed such cultivation; it was indeed defying the natural order!
