Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 837 - 835: The Frog in the Well

"Who do you think you are to demand explanations from me?"

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed into slits, his body slightly leaning forward, his hand gripping the armrest tightly, causing it to creak. The cold light flickering in his eyes was sharp and intimidating, causing the expressions of Sheng Shuixiang and the others before him to change.

All the strong ones looked with mockery at Sheng Shuixiang and his brothers.

The expressions in their eyes, filled with thick sarcasm, were like watching clowns performing.

This made Sheng Shuixiang and his brothers feel uneasy as if thorns were at their backs.

Sheng Huoxiang gently pushed his eldest brother, speaking cautiously, "Big brother, let's just let it go!"

"Let it go?"

Sheng Shuixiang's face twisted, his teeth gritted with a crisp sound, he hissed, "Why should we let it go? What is Xiao Yi? It was generous enough of me to agree to join Xiaoshanhe Institute, and that's already giving him face. It's fine if he's not grateful, but to eliminate us without reason and choose a bunch of losers instead. I won't accept this..."

"Big brother..."

Sheng Jinxiang and Sheng Huoxiang's faces suddenly changed.

This was at the Xiaoshanhe Institute, and in front of Xiao Yi.

Sheng Shuixiang had actually spoken these words.

He was challenging the authority of Xiao Yi!

Hearing his brothers' voices, Sheng Shuixiang also came to his senses and realized that this was not the Sheng Family's place. As Sheng Shuixiang raised his head, he felt a series of cold, murderous glares fixed on him.

Gululu!

Sheng Shuixiang swallowed hard, instinctively looking around, his face turning pale in an instant.

He saw the surrounding disciples of Xiaoshanhe Institute, staring at them with a deathly cold gaze, their eyes sweeping over them repeatedly.

Each gaze was chilled to the extreme.

No sympathy or pity, only disgust and a chilling murderous intent.

Hiss!

The Sheng brothers gasped in unison, the terrifying gazes making them feel like they were amongst wolves, with large beads of cold sweat dripping down.

Among the crowd.

Ye Heng's lips curved up slightly, forming a cold smile, "Merely a beginner in the Dharma Manifestation Realm, and yet daring to be so reckless in my Xiaoshanhe Institute? I really wonder what goes on in your head…"

Jin Feiyan shook her head and sighed, "Probably filled with nothing but bones!"

"Do all people from the Nantian Dynasty hold themselves in such high regard?"

The one who spoke was the typically reticent Ruan Yunyi. Xiao Yi was not only his master but also the idol he respected the most. Hearing Sheng Shuixiang repeatedly insult Xiao Yi naturally provoked him to speak out sarcastically, "Someone like you, we can find everywhere in our Xiaoshanhe Institute. Do you really think you're some peerless genius?"

"Cursed, no one has ever dared insult me like this..."

Sheng Shuixiang was already somewhat regretting what he had said, but hearing the mockery from Ye Heng and others, he was overwhelmed by rage, gritting his teeth and glaring at them, yelling hysterically, "You frogs in the well, you have no idea that there are people beyond you, heavens beyond skies."

"Frogs in the well?"

"Are you talking about yourself?"

Ye Heng and the other disciples of Xiaoshanhe Institute retorted.

"Humph! Calling you frogs in the well is elevating you, what kind of geniuses can your Xiaoshanhe Institute have?"

Sheng Shuixiang snorted, pointing at Sheng Jinxiang standing next to him, speaking proudly, "My brother Sheng Jinxiang not only reached the Tao Tribulation Realm before the age of twenty but also possesses Innate Divine Strength and practices the 'Vajra Battle Physique', enormously strong. Not to mention his peers, even those a realm higher cannot easily surpass him in strength..."

Strength!

This was his specialty!

"Innate Divine Strength?"

Ye Heng smirked playfully, gently pinching his hands together and walking forward as crackling sounds emitted from his wrists. With a casual wave of his hand, a stone platform appeared between the two. Ye Heng gestured to Sheng Jinxiang with his fingers, "Come, let me witness just how terrifying this so-called Innate Divine Strength is!"

"Are you sure you want to compete with me in strength?" Sheng Jinxiang asked with a puzzled face.

In terms of strength,

he had absolute confidence.

Ye Heng waved his hand and said, "If we are going to compete, let's do it. Enough talk!"

"Damn it!"

Sheng Jinxiang snorted coldly, stepping forward in a square stance, and slowly pointing his thumb towards the ground with a sneer, "It's not too late to admit defeat now. If you wait until the competition starts, be careful that I might break your hand!"

"Please!"

Ye Heng stood by the side of the stone platform, his elbow propped on the table, smiling.

"Little brother, don't hold back, cripple him for me!" Sheng Shuixiang roared.

Sheng Jinxiang nodded, rolled up his sleeves to reveal an arm as massive as one cast from iron: "Ye Heng, right? I hear you're a Battle War Holy Body, you may indeed be strong in battle, but you are definitely no match for me in strength!"

Ye Heng remained silent.

The two clasped each other's hands.

The surrounding onlookers, all powerful figures themselves, showed curiosity, "Who do you think will win?"

"Definitely Sheng Jinxiang. I've long heard of his reputation for Innate Divine Strength..."

"This time Ye Heng is going to be at a big disadvantage..."

Looking at Sheng Jinxiang's body, his muscles as clearly defined as sculptures, and then at Ye Heng, whose arms were not nearly as bulky, everyone felt there was no suspense in the outcome of this battle.

However...

A moment later.

A thud echoed from the stone platform.

The entire platform completely turned into dust, and as the dust settled, Sheng Jinxiang was seen lying on the ground, howling in pain, holding his arm which had been forcefully broken.

Ye Heng gently patted his hands, sighed softly, "It seems you are the frog in the well Sheng Shuixiang was talking about, otherwise, how could you dare to challenge me in strength?"

Battle War Holy Body.

Is he merely a mortal?

"Big brother, his hand is completely broken..."

After checking Sheng Jinxiang's injury and confirming it was 'only' a broken arm, Sheng Huoxiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his gaze once again falling on Ye Heng, "Hmph, I had long heard that the Battle War Holy Body possessed formidable physical strength and unparalleled combat ability. Seeing it today, it's indeed well deserved! I am Sheng Huoxiang, and I'd like to test your movement techniques from the Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

"Movement technique?"

Jin Feiyan looked at him oddly, a light smile on her face, "Since it's about movement technique, let this little lady accompany you!"

"Hmph, has your Xiaoshanhe Institute ran out of men to send a mere girl to compete with me...?" Before Sheng Huoxiang could finish his sentence, two crisp slaps rang out, abruptly interrupting him.

The intense stinging on his face.

Was accompanied by Jin Feiyan's mocking cold laugh: "Idiot, you're not even fast enough to carry my shoes..."
