8: A Xiu, born with superhuman strength

"Heroine, have mercy!"

In a certain slum, a series of screams suddenly rang out.

The rich second-generation young master, Qi Tian, was currently lying face down on the ground in a spread-eagled position, his face bruised and swollen, with several shoeprints stamped onto his luxurious clothing.

A petite figure stood with one foot on his back, expressionless, her gaze cold.

The young girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with short hair. Her appearance was neither beautiful nor ugly, neither fat nor thin, though a certain area was a bit flat.

At this moment, Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan were also standing to the side. The former, filled with righteous indignation and looking heartbroken, said, "Old Qi! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! In broad daylight, you actually spied on someone bathing!"

As soon as he spoke, the young girl's sword-like gaze shot toward him!

Fang Bai's expression immediately stiffened, then he gave an awkward smile: "Um, beautiful lady, this has nothing to do with me! We just happened to pass by, and seeing an injustice, we stepped in to help you subdue this hooligan!"

Xiao Yuan looked at Fang Bai innocently, wanting to say something but holding back.

Qi Tian, face down, became agitated upon hearing this, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't push himself up.

"Fang Bai, I'll f*#￥&... you... mmm... cough cough!"

A flash of seriousness crossed Fang Bai's eyes, and he looked at the young girl with some shock.

The other party looked delicate and weak, but he hadn't expected her to be able to pin Old Qi down and beat him.

Clearly, the aura she was emitting was only First-Order Intermediate.

A monster!

Fang Bai felt a bit annoyed; he had encountered another person more impressive than him!

He was truly a pathetic excuse for a protagonist!

The young girl thought for a moment, then grabbed Qi Tian by the back of his collar with one hand, lifting him up like a chick, and turned to leave.

Although Qi Tian was in a sorry state, he still had the power to fight back, but he felt a bit guilty and naturally didn't dare to make a move.

After all, he really had spied on her bathing...

Who the hell would have thought that finding a latrine would lead to such a situation?!

Damn, are all the houses here like this? You can just put up a curtain next to the toilet and take a bath? Is there no regard for privacy at all?!

Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance, then silently followed.

Soon, the four of them returned to a small hut.

At this time, Director Liu was having tea with an old man.

Seeing the young girl dragging someone along, they were both a bit surprised.

Director Liu, with sharp eyes, discovered that the person being dragged was actually Qi Tian, and he was immediately surprised: "What have you all been doing?"

Before Qi Tian could open his mouth, he was tossed aside by the young girl, falling face-first onto the ground.

"Ouch!"

Qi Tian struggled to climb up, glaring at the young girl with his bruised and swollen face: "Hey, hey, hey! You're going too far! Laying such a heavy hand! If This Young Master weren't one to cherish the fairer sex, I would have fought back!"

Upon hearing this, the young girl's brows furrowed slightly, and her delicate little hands clenched.

Qi Tian's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, saying, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't you come over here! This Young Master is a Dual-Element Second-Order Martial Artist!"

He indeed had some trauma regarding this young girl; not only was her combat awareness perverted and her strikes ruthless, but the key was her innate super strength! He had actually tripped up because he was careless!

Just as the young girl was about to make a move, a raspy, aged voice suddenly rang out: "A Xiu, stop."

It was the old man beside Director Liu who had spoken.

Hearing this, the young girl coldly glanced at Qi Tian, then silently walked to the old man's side.

Director Liu looked at Qi Tian: "How did you kid provoke that young girl?"

Qi Tian opened his mouth, but found it hard to speak. Finally, he gave an awkward smile: "Um, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

In his heart, he cursed those two, Fang Bai and the other, a hundred and eighty times.

Clearly, they had also peeked at her, so why was she only grabbing and beating him?

It turned out they had arrived here early to pick up their classmate, but Qi Tian needed to use the restroom at a critical moment, so the three of them went together, only to accidentally run into A Xiu bathing.

A Xiu had discovered them immediately and chased after them. When Qi Tian looked back, he found that those two assholes, Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan, had already slipped away!

As a result, he was left standing there like an idiot, just in time to lock eyes with the rushing A Xiu.

Then began the scene of her chasing and him fleeing.

He was safe at first, but then Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan backstabbed him, and he was directly caught by A Xiu.

Damn it! It really pissed him off!

Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan also walked over.

"Director Liu."

Fang Bai greeted him, ignoring the look of wanting to eat someone that Qi Tian was giving him.

Old Qi! Don't blame Buddy, as the saying goes, better a dead friend than a dead me!

Anyway, you're the strongest; take the damage for us brothers.

Director Liu looked at his three students and felt a bit of a headache.

He said to the old man: "Old man, since there's nothing else, I'll be taking A Xiu with me."

The old man nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work; please take care of this child."

Director Liu glanced at the expressionless A Xiu and nodded: "Understood."

Fang Bai and the others stood to the side watching this scene.

Yes, A Xiu was their classmate.

She was a Space-element Martial Artist!

Space Element!

This attribute was extremely rare; among all humans, Space-element Martial Artists were the fewest!

As long as they grew up, such powerhouses would have a huge advantage among those of the same level!

And A Xiu also had innate super strength!

Fang Bai poked Qi Tian with his elbow: "Old Qi, is that girl really that strong?"

Qi Tian snorted coldly and turned his head away, refusing to look at him.

Fine, fine, fine! After This Young Master gave you gold and space rings, is this how you treat friends!

He was a little depressed!

Fang Bai raised his eyebrows, then said sincerely: "Um, regarding what happened just now, I'm really sorry! You know that Xiao Yuan and I are the weakest in the team, and you are not only the most handsome and wealthy, but also the strongest, so we thought you could handle the problem."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian's expression shifted, and he looked at him suspiciously: "You really think so?"

Fang Bai nodded repeatedly: "For sure!"

Qi Tian's expression finally softened, and he said: "Hmph! I only didn't go all out because I saw she was a girl, it's not that I couldn't beat her... But her strength is truly great; I feel like two of my ribs are broken."

Fang Bai asked tentatively: "According to your estimation, what are the odds between you two?"

Qi Tian thought very seriously for a moment, then answered honestly: "Maybe six-four; I feel she's more willing to risk her life than I am."

Fang Bai nodded and didn't say anything more.

On the other side, the old man looked at A Xiu and said kindly: "Xiu'er, after going to the new place, take good care of yourself, don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

A Xiu's expressionless face finally revealed a hint of reluctance. She looked at the old man and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, I don't want to leave you."

As soon as her voice came out, Fang Bai and the others all looked at her, somewhat astonished.

This girl's voice was so pleasant?

They hadn't expected that a girl who was as brutal as a wild beast when fighting would have a milky tone when speaking.

Noticing the gazes of Fang Bai and the others, A Xiu's little face flushed slightly.

The old man smiled slightly and comforted her: "Be good, Grandpa has nothing left to teach you. Besides, you don't belong here; go out and see more, and just come back to visit Grandpa often when you have time."

A Xiu's eyes immediately turned red.

The old man took out a jade crescent pendant from his tattered pocket and placed it in the girl's hand, saying: "Keep this on you; at a critical moment, it can save your life."

A Xiu held the pendant, silent.

The old man looked at Director Liu and said sincerely: "I'm counting on you."

A hint of respect appeared in Director Liu's eyes, and he raised his right fist diagonally across his chest, as if performing some sacred ritual.

"Senior, please rest assured!"
