Chapter 16 - 14 Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey
"I'm not arguing with you because I couldn't be bothered with someone as boring as you. You actually think you're a character worth noting? In my eyes, you're not even as good as a dog at being human."
The youth's icy words instantly echoed throughout the Salary Hall, drawing astonished looks from all the clansmen.
Who could have imagined that the always self-deprecating, timid loser Ye Chen would dare to slap Ye Hua across the face? It truly came as a surprise to everyone, and even Ye Zhengyang was stunned by what unfolded before him.
Since Ye Chen had fallen from the Genius Altar, his nature radically changed; he was no longer spirited and had become weak and self-deprecating. Even as the Family Head's son, he didn't dare to speak loudly to other clansmen, let alone provoke or slap someone.
This was an unimaginable scene; no one could have envisioned a day when Ye Chen would strike another person.
Ye Hua covered his swollen cheek, but more than the pain on his face, the humiliation of being slapped by the constant object of his bullying, in front of so many clansmen, was greater. His eyes, filled with rage and bloodshot, were like those of a feral dog as he bellowed furiously, "Ye Chen, you waste! How dare you hit me? Today, I will completely cripple you, you good-for-nothing!"
He leaped forward with bared teeth and claws, aiming to tear Ye Chen to pieces. Even Ye Chen's status as the Family Head's son was forgotten amid his humiliating fury; he remembered only his desire to beat Ye Chen as a means of venting his rage.
Although Ye Hua wasn't an Acquired Ninth Realm master like Ye Zhengyang, he was still a minor master of the Acquired Fifth Realm.
Acquired Ninth Realm; the first three realms didn't show much notable change, focusing mainly on tempering the flesh, muscles, and bones. But starting from the Fourth Level, each advancement would significantly increase one's strength, sometimes by hundreds of pounds, with extremely noticeable effects.
Acquired Fifth Realm, strength of five hundred pounds.
Acquired Sixth Layer, strength of one thousand pounds.
