95: Does it hurt?

Of course, this was just Xu Shirui's wild guess.

Generally, noble descendants are indeed stronger than commoner descendants at the same Realm.

The main reasons for this are the foundation laid from a young age, the mastery of Martial Arts, and the configuration of weapons.

How could commoner descendants afford to lay a strong physical foundation at the age of six, let alone spend a large amount of money to rent an Enlightenment Room to speed up their mastery of Martial Arts?

In the same Realm, noble descendants have stronger physiques and a deeper grasp of Martial Arts; even if commoner descendants obtain an Acquired Martial Arts manual and spend ten years, they might only reach the Minor Achievement Realm, while the noble descendants would have already achieved Major Achievement, naturally performing better with their Martial Arts.

These are all reasons why noble descendants can overcome commoner descendants across a Minor Realm.

But Shen Xi was an exception.

He didn't temper his body or lay a foundation from a young age, but because of the Spirit Guiding Scripture, his physique improved significantly under the influence of the Qi.

He also didn't rent an Enlightenment Room, but with the help of the System, he could quickly master a Martial Arts to Perfection.

The advantages that noble descendants held over commoner descendants were all nullified, and Shen Xi even created a huge gap between them.

This is what they say: a dedicated player is no match for a whale, and a whale is no match for a cheater.

Commoner descendants are dedicated players, noble descendants are whales, and Shen Xi is an out-and-out cheater.

Cheating for a moment is fun; cheating all the time is always fun.

"Brother, this is all a misunderstanding!"

Xu Shirui was also someone who could adapt, and realizing Shen Xi was not simple, he quickly spoke.

But Shen Xi showed no patience for the other party.

He didn't cause trouble, nor was he afraid of it.

He killed Kong Wen without hesitation, beat Zhao Delong without hesitation, so why would he care about Xu Shirui?

When the other party provoked him, they should have been prepared to pay the price.

Shen Xi said nothing, grabbed Xu Shirui by the collar, and walked towards the window.

Seeing this, Xu Shirui already realized what he was about to face.

He quickly said, "Brother, don't be impulsive, this really is just a misunderstanding. You're a big person, don't hold a grudge against a small person like me. Don't bother with me."

He babbled on for a while, but Shen Xi showed no reaction.

Then, Shen Xi directly lifted Xu Shirui to the window, and with a release of his hand, the other party fell straight down.

"What's the use of an apology? If you don't offer some actual compensation, do you expect me to let you off?"

Only then did Shen Xi speak coldly.

Beside him, Manager Wang was stunned.

Although he had also hinted at throwing Xu Shirui out, that was mostly to scare the other party.

Considering the bigger picture, he didn't intend to go too far; simply chasing Xu Shirui away would have been enough.

Of course, if the other party still didn't understand, he wouldn't mind doing so.

But no matter what, Manager Wang never actually made a move!

As a result, Shen Xi, with few words but a ruthless demeanor, actually dared to throw someone out!

"Cough cough, as expected of a young hero."

Manager Wang coughed twice, a little awkwardly.

As for the Fat Man, he was a bit bewildered: "Xi Zi, if you wanted compensation, why didn't you say so?"

Wang Lin also nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, Brother Shen, you could have stated your demands! You just threw him out, he's probably scared senseless, how would he think of offering compensation?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi's old face flushed.

He rubbed his nose: "Ah, it's my fault for not thinking it through."

Saying that, he poked his head out the window: "Hey! If you didn't want me to throw you out, you should have said so earlier! If you give enough compensation, I'll let you off. But it's not too late now. Tell me, how much do you plan to give me for mental distress?"

What the heck!

Distress your grandpa!

You've already thrown me out, and now you still want compensation?

Xu Shirui, lying on the ground, gritted his teeth in hatred, but didn't dare to say it out loud, only grumbling in his heart.

Manager Wang, however, was stunned, wondering if this was even a way to play things.

Damn, this young man!

"Manager, Heavenly Room Number One has been cleaned up."

A service staff member spoke at the right time, easing the awkward atmosphere.

Manager Wang quickly changed the subject: "Respected guests, let's go to the private room."

"Okay!"

Shen Xi nodded and followed into Heavenly Room Number One... downstairs at Star Zenith Department Store.

A group of customers was gathered, watching.

They were busy selecting goods when they heard a loud bang.

Then, they saw Xu Shirui lying on the ground.

This made many people curious, and coupled with humanity's age-old instinct to watch a spectacle, they all gathered around.

Facing all this, Xu Shirui wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Being thrown from the third floor by Shen Xi was actually not a big deal; with his strength, it would at most be painful, as his Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm physique far surpassed ordinary people.

But being watched by so many people was truly uncomfortable.

Xu Shirui had never experienced such a scene; he felt like a clown in a circus, utterly humiliated.

"What are you looking at? Do you believe I'll..."

Xu Shirui threatened the crowd, but before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"Hey, were you thrown from the third floor?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm a regular at Star Zenith Department Store, and this is the first time I've seen something like this."

"I've lived for over fifty years, and I've never seen anyone thrown out!"

"Coming to Star Zenith Department Store today was the right choice, didn't I just broaden my horizons?"

"Does it hurt?"

The most damaging question was, "Does it hurt?"

Xu Shirui almost couldn't help but cry.

Does it hurt?

Isn't that obvious? Of course it hurts!

But what hurt more was his heart.

Being watched by so many people was simply soul-crushing.

"What happened? Make way!"

Seeing more and more onlookers, Xu Shirui just wanted to curse.

Just then, a rather familiar voice sounded.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man parted the crowd and appeared before him.

"Uncle Zhao!"

Xu Shirui finally couldn't hold back his tears.

He knew this man; it was his father's colleague, Senator Zhao Delong.

Being humiliated in front of others was already mortifying; being seen by an acquaintance was an even greater torment.

Xu Shirui was experiencing both now, and the psychological agony was imaginable.

But thinking of Zhao Delong's identity, a glimmer of hope appeared.

This was a Senator, on equal footing with his father. If he helped intervene in this matter, he could surely regain his dignity and vent his anger.

Xu Shirui subconsciously ignored Manager Wang's previous remarks, which clearly showed he didn't put his father in his eyes.

"Good boy, don't cry. What trouble have you encountered?"

Zhao Delong couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon seeing Xu Shirui's current predicament.

He was naturally not gloating, although this scene was indeed quite amusing, but what he cared more about was that this was an opportunity to strengthen their relationship.
