Chapter 11 It Is Impossible to Refund the Money!
Wow!
The hall erupted into an uproar!
The moment the dim gray light emerged from the stone, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed drastically.
“What... how is this possible?”
When Zhang Hengxing saw the dim gray light and heard the words “lowest level,” it felt like a thunderbolt had struck him.
Impossible!
I clearly witnessed Su Xiaobai progressing from a novice quasi-warrior to an advanced quasi-warrior within a month!
There can be no mistake!
But the test revealed...
How could this be?
“Lowest level?!”
“I told you, didn’t I? Haha, the young master has stirred up trouble now!”
“No way. Lowest level?! Then how did he even become a quasi-warrior?”
“That’s strange... If it’s the lowest level, there’s no way he could even reach the quasi-warrior stage!”
“....”
Anyone with even a slight understanding of martial arts cultivation knew that the lowest level aptitude meant being doomed to remain an ordinary person forever—barely even stepping into the realm of a quasi-warrior.
Yet, here stood Su Xiaobai, a genuine advanced quasi-warrior who was only seventeen years old—the same age as Zhang Hengxing!
Seventeen years old and already an advanced quasi-warrior.
This undeniably indicated an extraordinary aptitude!
Even if there was some hidden factor, his aptitude shouldn’t possibly be the lowest level!
“Lowest level?”
Zhang Henglong and the other Zhang family elites exchanged glances, confusion evident in their eyes.
They had speculated that Su Xiaobai might not be the high-level aptitude Zhang Hengxing had believed, but they never imagined he would be classified as the lowest and most useless aptitude!
“With such aptitude, how did he even reach the advanced quasi-warrior level?”
Zhang Hengde murmured in confusion.
The others shared his perplexity.
Such a poor aptitude meant it should be impossible to progress—even with excessive resource investment!
“Mr. Su, may I ask, how did you manage to break through to the advanced quasi-warrior stage with the lowest level aptitude?”
Zhang Henglong’s voice echoed across the hall.
Strength Level: Beginner Warrior
Endurance Level: Beginner Warrior
Agility Level: Beginner Warrior
Cultivation Aptitude: Low-level
Mastered Skills: Rainbow Demon Strength (Intermediate), Shadow Demon Attack (Intermediate)
“A beginner warrior with two intermediate-entry-level techniques... not bad!”
Su Xiaobai mentally assessed the opponent.
“Zhang Feiang, what do you propose?”
Zhang Henglong asked indifferently.
“I won’t bully Mr. Su,” Zhang Feiang said coldly. “As long as he can defeat any advanced quasi-warrior from our Zhang family’s younger generation, I will accept him as a guest elder!”
“But if he fails, Patriarch, I believe none of us would accept this decision. Mr. Su should then return the 1 million spirit coins, and we’ll consider this matter settled!”
The crowd nodded in agreement. Even Zhang Hengde said approvingly, “That sounds fair!”
Zhang Henglong’s eyes showed consideration.
“Elder Su, do you accept this proposal?”
Zhang Henglong asked.
“Father!”
“Elder Su has only recently become an advanced quasi-warrior. He hasn’t even had time to learn any techniques. How can he fight? This isn’t fair!” Zhang Hengxing protested.
After all, it was he who had invited Su Xiaobai—partly for his incredible potential. If Su Xiaobai were alienated now, it would be too late to recruit him later!
Although Zhang Hengxing couldn’t understand why the aptitude test showed “lowest level,” he knew it was unjust to pit a newly advanced quasi-warrior without battle experience against others.
“Indeed, it’s unfair!”
Before Zhang Henglong could respond, Su Xiaobai interjected, “What’s the point of sending a younger advanced quasi-warrior to fight me?”
“As a guest elder, I should demonstrate true capability. You, sir, since you’re the one challenging me, why not step forward as my opponent?”
The hall fell into stunned silence!
An advanced quasi-warrior challenging a beginner warrior?
Though the gap seemed minor, the difficulty of crossing it was astronomical!
Initially, Su Xiaobai had no intention of being so ostentatious.
But what choice did he have?
Refund the money?
Not a chance!
The money was already spent. Returning it wasn’t an option.
Since reconciliation seemed impossible, Su Xiaobai decided to go all out!
