It was early in the morning. The sun was shining brightly, and the air was fresh.
Qin Yi was practicing in the yard when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw three teenagers. They were shorter than him and looked like high school students.
"Are you Qin Yi?" Tang Xiaotian, the leader of the group, looked remarkably handsome. His voice was manly and arrogant.
"Who are you?" Qin Yi thought the boy looked familiar but wasn't sure if he'd seen him before.
"I'm Tang Xiaotian. You can call me Xiaotian if you want, but no matter what you call me, I will teach you a lesson and avenge my sister!" Tang Xiaotian said arrogantly.
Qin Yi remembered everything when he heard Tang Xiaotian's words.
No wonder he thought Tang Xiaotian looked familiar. It turned out that he was the brother of Tang Muyan, who had lost to him when he was in the army.
It had to be said that the brother and sister really looked alike.
Whether it was in terms of appearance or arrogant attitude.
However, compared to Tang Muyan, Tang Xiaotian looked a lot younger.
"Your name is Xiaotian, right?" Qin Yi walked up to him and patted his head. "It's so early in the morning. You should be at school. Be good."
Tang Xiaotian was speechless. He was so angry that he almost fainted.
What the heck? Did Qin Yi think he was a child?
Furious, Tang Xiaotian pushed away Qin Yi's hand that was caressing his head with his left hand. Then, he struck out his right fist, aiming it straight at Qin Yi's face!
A wind brushed across Qin Yi's face!
Qin Yi's expression grew stern as he quickly took two steps back and looked at the young man in slight surprise.
He didn't expect that Tang Xiaotian had some skills. The speed and strength of his punch just now were at least in the middle stage of external strength!
Martial arts were divided into the basics, body refining, and Qi refining...
Basics were divided into two major stages: External Strength and Internal Strength.
Each major stage could be divided into four minor stages: The early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage.
If one were to compare military boxing to the strength of each stage, an ordinary soldier could basically reach the early stage of External Strength if he practiced military boxing for three or five years. If he practiced it for eight or ten years, he could reach the middle stage, which was Tang Xiaotian's current strength.
Professionals in special forces were at the peak of External Strength. Tang Muyan was currently at this stage.
This was only military boxing that was advantageous for early-stage cultivation. If it was a bit more advanced, it would take a longer time to practice!
This was enough to show how talented Tang Xiaotian and Tang Muyan were in martial arts.
Tang Xiaotian saw that Qin Yi was in a daze. He lifted his head proudly and called out, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"I see that you have a few tricks up your sleeve. Why don't you try some tricks?" Qin Yi's thoughts raced, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile. "If I win, you'll have to call me 'brother-in-law' in the future."
He was angry when he thought of how Tang Muyan mocked him and said he couldn't fight against her.
If her younger brother called him brother-in-law in front of her, she would definitely be angrier. Hehe...
"You're courting death!" Tang Xiaotian flew into a rage.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat me?" Qin Yi said provocatively. He thought to himself that this fellow was as arrogant as Tang Muyan. As long as he tried to provoke him, Tang Xiaotian would easily fall into his trap.
Sure enough, Tang Xiaotian frowned and shouted, "Can't defeat you? Hmph, I'll let you have a taste of the Tang family's boxing!"
The competition started. Both of them stood on one side.
Tang Xiaotian slowly raised his fist and made an attack gesture. Then, he bent his body and stomped his feet on the ground, darting toward Qin Yi like an arrow leaving a bow. At the same time, he let out an angry roar like that of a ferocious tiger!
With a "bang", Tang Xiaotian flew back...
Moments later, he fell backward to the ground with a plop.
It happened so fast that Tang Xiaotian's two classmates, Wang Zixing and Four-Eyes, looked at each other blankly. No one knew what had happened just now.
In short, they knew that Tang Xiaotian had been defeated right away.
The two hurriedly ran to Tang Xiaotian and helped him up.
Tang Xiaotian was in so much pain, and his body couldn't stop twitching.
Qin Yi attacked his acupoints a few times.
If he didn't receive any treatment, he would probably have to stay in bed for three to five months.
Qin Yi didn't mean to be so harsh on him.
But that was how his Shatter Skill worked. Once he used that skill, he could break anything with great power.
Too bad Tang Xiaotian was not as patient as his sister. That was why he got defeated in just one move.
At this time, Tang Xiaotian suddenly felt that his chest didn't hurt as much anymore, and he could breathe. He was surprised to find that he had recovered!
"Little kid, do you still remember our deal? What should you call me?" Qin Yi rubbed Tang Xiaotian's head and asked with a smile.
It was very energy-consuming every time Qin Yi used his powers. Of course, he couldn't let Tang Xiaotian go just like that.
Tang Xiaotian was stunned at first, and he pinched his chin. His eyes gradually became wide as if he had made up his mind.
Suddenly, he flopped to his knees and called out loudly to Qin Yi, "Master!"
Master?
Qin Yi was at a loss...
On one side, Wang Zixing and Four-Eyes were also confused.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple!" Tang Xiaotian asked firmly.
"Stop fooling around. Your grandfather is a formidable person." Qin Yi waved his hand.
Tang Fengyang was a master in martial arts. Many people wanted to take him as their master, but his grandson wanted to take someone else as his master. It would be terrible if rumors spread.
Besides, the Shatter Skill was only suitable for his physique. It was not suited for ordinary people to practice at all. He couldn't teach other people this skill.
"Nah, he's usually not at home, and I usually attend classes at school, so I'm not at home either." Tang Xiaotian pursed his lips ruefully and then looked at Qin Yi with shining eyes. "You defeated me in one move just now. I might as well acknowledge you as my master!"
"Forget it. I won't ask you to call me brother-in-law. You'd better go!"
When Qin Yi finished speaking, he was about to turn and leave. He couldn't be bothered with this little kid.
However, as soon as he took a step, Tang Xiaotian held him tightly. He cried and begged, "Master, please accept me as your disciple! I will definitely serve you in the future..."
Then, Tang Xiaotian's two classmates also knelt on the ground and begged, "Master, please take Xiaotian as your disciple!"
Seeing how difficult it was to deal with them, Qin Yi sighed ruefully. If others see them, they might think he was bullying the kids. "How about this? Don't take me as your master, but I'll give you some pointers when I'm free."
Hearing that, Tang Xiaotian's eyes lit up. He quickly nodded with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"You're not allowed to call me master!" Qin Yi complained.
"Yes, yes, brother-in-law!" Tang Xiaotian quickly corrected himself and shouted happily.
At the same time, he thought "brother-in-law" sounded more intimate than "master". It would be better to call Qin Yi "brother-in-law" in the future!
Then, he shouted to his two friends, "Why are you two standing there? Call him brother-in-law!"
Qin Yi's was surprised.
Judging by Tang Xiaotian's arrogant attitude, Qin Yi thought that Tang Xiaotian would be very reluctant to call him brother-in-law after losing.
He was looking forward to seeing Tang Xiaotian's reluctant look.
Who would have thought that Tang Xiaotian would be so enthusiastic? It was as if he was the one who was benefitting!
But that was a good thing.
He could provoke Tang Muyan the next time they meet. Hehe...
