After they reached the backyard, Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng did a little warm-up. When Xiao Tian saw the expression of Lan Ruoxi and the others, the corner of his lips twitched.
'It seems like they really want to see my fight against Zhao Sheng.'
Xiao Tian had no idea as to why they really wanted to see their fight.
'Is it because we were equal in the past?'
Several months ago, Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng fought for the first time. Even though he had the upper hand in the end, but that was because he used a dirty trick. Otherwise, their fight would be equal.
After warming up for about a minute, Zhao Sheng spoke, "Xiao Tian, are you ready?"
At this moment, Zhao Sheng's blood was boiling in excitement because Xiao Tian was the only person who could fight him on par in the past, so he wanted to know how strong they were now.
"It seems like you are excited." Xiao Tian could understand Zhao Sheng's feelings because he was like him, a battle maniac.
"Of course." Zhao Sheng answered instantly. "Grandfather, can you be the referee?"
"Fine." Zhao Chen walked forwards. "Are you ready?"
Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng nodded their heads.
"Fight." Zhao Chen spoke.
Xiao Tian dashed towards Zhao Sheng and began to attack him. Like when they fought for the first time, the two of them had no advantage in the fight.
Both of them were geniuses and also on the same level, so they could dodge or block each other's attacks. Every time Xiao Tian attacked Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng could block or avoid it.
The same thing happened when Zhao Sheng attacked Xiao Tian. This happened from the start as if they could read each other's minds and know what they were going to do.
"Oh! So Xiao Tian had broken through to the mid-level master stage too." Zhao Chen uttered.
He knew that Xiao Tian was a genius in martial arts, but he didn't expect that he would break through to the mid-level master stage as fast as his grandson.
Like Zhao Chen, the other Zhao family members were shocked when they found out that Xiao Tian was a martial artist at the mid-level master stage.
"Yes. He broke through to the mid-level master stage yesterday." of course, Lan Ruoxi knew about this because he broke through in her place.
Zhao Chen looked at Lan Ruoxi and uttered, "Oh! You already know about this?!"
"Yes. He broke through to the mid-level master stage in my place." Lan Ruoxi gave an honest answer. "It seems like they are equal again."
"No. You're mistaken." Zhao Chen disagreed with Lan Ruoxi. "This time, I'm sure Xiao Tian will lose the fight."
"I think so too." Zhao Xun added.
"Oh! Why do you think like that?" Lan Ruoxi had no idea that Zhao Sheng had gained insight about battle instinct, so she wanted to know why they said Xiao Tian would lose the fight.
"You will know the reason later." Zhao Chen didn't tell her the reason why he was sure that Zhao Sheng would win the fight.
"I'm getting more curious now." Lan Ruoxi paid attention to Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng again.
"Xiao Tian, I will fight you seriously now." Zhao Sheng then tried to become one with nature so that he could use battle instinct again.
However, because he still hadn't mastered it, he failed many times, and as a result, he got hit by Xiao Tian many times.
'Damn it!'
Zhao Sheng tried to become one with nature again.
Because he had used it three times before, Zhao Sheng finally managed to be in a state of battle instinct.
"The real fight starts now." Zhao Chen smiled happily when Zhao Sheng was in a state of battle instinct.
"Oh! Battle instinct?" Lan Ruoxi finally understood why Zhao Chen said that Xiao Tian would lose the fight.
'I didn't expect young master Zhao to gain insight about battle instinct too.'
Lan Ruoxi suddenly remembered that Xiao Tian had gained insight about battle instinct too.
'So, there are two candidates for the Ruler now, huh? The martial artists of this generation are really interesting.'
Lan Ruoxi suddenly wanted to know how strong they were in the future.
"The winner has not yet been decided. We don't know what will happen later." Lan Ruoxi didn't tell them that Xiao Tian had gained insight about battle instinct as well.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything anymore. He was sure that Zhao Sheng would win the fight.
Because Zhao Sheng was in a state of battle instinct, he had the upper hand in the battle. This left Xiao Tian dumbfounded.
'Why did he suddenly become so much stronger?'
Xiao Tian tried to fight back, but the result was the same. He then suddenly remembered Zhao Chen's words.
'Don't tell me….'
Xiao Tian finally understood the reason why Zhao Sheng suddenly became much stronger.
'Become one with nature and feel the energy of heaven and earth.'
Xiao Tian tried to become one with nature as well.
Zhao Chen and the others, who saw Xiao Tian, had smug faces.
'What? You want to use battle instinct too?! Do you think it's easy to gain insight about battle instinct?'
Those were the words that appeared in their minds.
Because Xiao Tian was a genius in martial arts and had used it once, he quickly managed to get into battle instinct mode.
*Boom…
A warm and cold aura suddenly covered Xiao Tian's body.
Lan Ruoxi smiled softly when Xiao Tian was in a state of battle instinct. Of course, she was not surprised because he also used battle instinct yesterday.
"This….This…" the expression of deep shock blossomed on the faces of Zhao Chen and the others.
They knew that Xiao Tian was a genius in martial arts, but they didn't expect that he could gain insight about battle instinct easily when he was still in the mid-level master stage.
"Battle…battle instinct?" Zhao Chen said in disbelief.
He found it hard to believe what he was seeing.
'Since when did gaining insight into battle instinct become this easy?'
Those were the words that appeared in his mind.
