The second provocation, the second blatant provocation!
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats. Faced with such a situation, Hong Dali had to make a move! But once he made his move, the consequences…
“Hehe, I forgot to say something just now.” Now that the fight was imminent, Hong Dali grinned and said to the man, “I was planning to take it slow, but since you asked for it…”
As he spoke, he looked at Levis who was standing nearby. “Brother Levis, I better leave the fighting to you. Yes, hit harder, no need to hold back!” As a super prodigal, he would resolutely not do anything himself that he could delegate to his lackeys!
It was the same when it came to slapping someone.
“Okay, Master.” Levis wasted no time at all. The muscles on his right arm swelled up immediately and swift as a clap of thunder, he slapped the man!
Honestly speaking, since the Honorary Aristocrat dared stick his face out, he definitely had been prepared for what would happen next.
He had been prepared. Once Hong Dali made a move, he would fall onto the ground and cry out loudly in pain. When the guards came, hehehehe, even if he did not manage to kick up a huge fuss, he could at least make things difficult for Hong Dali.
His mission would then be completed. There were other people queued up after him. One round after another, Li Tianxing was planning to take this opportunity to deal a fierce blow to Hong Dali!
But here came the problem.
Who was best at slapping people? If Hong Dali proclaimed himself second, no one would dare to say they were first!
He did not slap people casually, but when he did, it was with the intent to kill.
So, this Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat was in for a tragic time.
How fearsome was Levis’ strength? He had taken the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass before coming here and he had practiced hard in the Thunder Battle Arena for a long period of time. He also frequented the Tower of Trials, and with the effects of Hong Dali’s Prodigal Halo…
With a crisp “piak”, the Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat rolled a total of thirty times on the ground. When he finally stopped rolling, he immediately disintegrated into a white light and was teleported back to the resurrection point.
Everyone gasped. They were all stunned!
Hong Dali really hit him, and so brutally that with just one slap, he killed him!
The other two Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats were dumbstruck.
They had no idea that Hong Dali would make his move so swiftly and so brutally! The man was not even there anymore. Even if they called the guards over, they had no proof, right?
“You… you, you… you hit him, haha, you hit him!” Although the man who stuck his face out had been sent back to the resurrection point, his two remaining companions still called for the guards. “Guards, guards, someone is beating people up here!”
It was a serious offense to hit someone during the Advancement assessment. Four guards immediately ran over. They asked, “What happened? Who is hitting people?”
“Ah, did anyone hit anyone?” Hong Dali looked around, his face a picture of innocence. He asked the guards curiously, “There isn’t anyone hitting anyone else, at least I did not see anything like that.”
“Did you all see it?” The guards asked the surrounding onlookers and they all shook their heads. “No!”
Tang Muxin and the rest were clutching their bellies, they were laughing so hard. There was nothing that could be done, Hong Dali was simply too heavy-handed. He sent the man back to the resurrection point with one slap. By the time that Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat made his way back, it would be too late. By then, what use were accusations?
“You! You! You’re ruthless!” The remaining two Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats were so angry they were trembling. They pointed at Hong Dali, screaming, “You got guts, all right!”
“That’s necessary, right?” Hong Dali cocked his head and looked at them sideways. “Do the two of you have any other plans? Are you going to stick your face out for me to hit too? Don’t worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish!”
At this time, who would still dare to ask Hong Dali to hit them? They would be killed by just one slap, with no chance to call for help at all!
The two remaining men finally realized they had come up against a hard skull and did not dare to provoke him any further.
This time it was Hong Dali’s turn to provoke them. “Aiya, you were so arrogant just now. Why have you turned into such cowards in just a while? You cannot be like this, are you so weak?”
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the two men. His expression was righteous, like that of a rebel during the war. He said sternly, “The two of you are miserable excuses for Honorary Aristocrats! You have made no contributions and only know to gossip and give aid to the villains! How dare spineless dogs like you bark in front of me, Brother Dali!” Hong Dali took a deep breath. “I have never seen such shameless people!”
When Hong Dali finished speaking, all the people who were watching started clapping in approval—
“Dali, well done, well said! Hahahaha! That’ll show them for being so arrogant and cocky!”
“Yes, yes. I never liked the look of them. They are so arrogant!”
“We needed Brother Dali to take care of them. Idol, he is my idol!”
Listening to the praises, Hong Dali felt a little embarrassed. He chuckled and said, “Ah, no, haha, no!”
By now, the man who died after being slapped had returned. He pointed at Hong Dali from afar. “Hong Dali, how dare you break the rules. I will report this to my Lord immediately. Await your punishment!”
His words did carry some weight, but Hong Dali did not care at all!
Look at that self-satisfied expression, who cared! He was a prodigal! He never cared for getting through the advancement in the first place and had no reason to bother about the man! So what if it was the Advancement Assessment, did he even care? He was here to kick up a big fuss! As for what would happen next, why bother?
“Rules?” Hong Dali suddenly laughed, then looked at the Honorary Aristocrat. At this time, the look on his face was all innocence, but his words were forceful. “Aren’t rules meant to be broken?”
Aren’t rules meant to be broken?
Once the words left Hong Dali’s mouth, the entire place went completely silent. Even a pin drop would be heard.
There were a few Galaxy Aristocrats in the past who had dared behave so atrociously at the Advancement assessment. However, Hong Dali was probably the only one who behaved so arrogantly after hitting someone.
The entire group of people was stunned for a long while. The Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat finally came around enough to spit out a few vehement words. “Hong Dali, wait and see. I will tell My Lord exactly what you said! You will definitely be satisfied with your punishment!”
“Scram, scram!” Hong Dali waved his hand disdainfully and said, “Next time, send someone who can actually fight. I’m not even interested in the names of small shrimp like you!”
Everyone was stunned!
Did you see that? Hong Dali was without a doubt the number one prodigal. That imperious manner, an Orange-level Double Honorary Aristocrat actually dared call Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats little shrimps! That was beyond cool, right?
This also matched what he had just said—rules were meant to be broken!
…
In a small building nearby the Advancement assessment venue.
Jiang Dongliu, who wore a flowery shirt and a pair of baggy pants, was playing chess with an old man.
The old man had long gray hair, long flowy eyebrows, long wispy beard and whiskers, and a red face. Although he looked like he was about 70 or 80 years old, he still looked healthier than most regular young people.
This old man was Li Tianxing’s grandfather, the strongest warrior in the Li Family, one of the Five Emperors, Li Xuancheng!
He looked to be about 70 or 80 years old, but his actual age was 126. His martial arts practice had allowed him to maintain a very healthy and strong body.
With the mention of Li Xuancheng, there should be some elaboration on the lifespan of humans in the Milky Way.
In the Milky Way, due to technological advancements, an ordinary human was able to live up to about 120 years old.
The lifespan of a martial arts practitioner, however, was longer at about 150. If they could attain Planet-level, their lifespan could be extended to about 200 years. Any more than that was difficult unless a person had some miraculous experiences in the universe, or a warrior practiced extremely hard and managed to further advance their martial arts’ level. Otherwise, due to the limitations of a human body, 200 was the limit.
“Old Li.” Jiang Dongliu moved a chess piece at random and then said slowly, “You are just a step from passing that threshold, why have you come out to meddle in this? Do the power and riches of this world still mean something to you?”
Li Xuancheng countered a move and said grimly, “In this universe, no matter what people say or do, it ultimately boils down to the amount of respect they get. Hong Dali is bullying my grandson. Do you think this pile of old bones can ignore that?”
“Well, there’s a cause and effect for everything.” Jiang Dongliu stroked his chin and said, “If it were not because…”
Li Xuancheng knew what Jiang Dongliu was about to say. He immediately cut Jiang Dongliu off and huffed. “That’s enough, Dongliu. Things have already progressed to this state, there is no point in talking more. Right now, only you and Oldest Elder have not bowed down to me. I will not force you. I will take this Advancement assessment to show you just how big the disparity is between us!”
“The disparity between our power?” Jiang Dongliu smiled noncommittally and said, “So what? Unless you really think that power is everything?”
“Of course power is not everything.” Li Xuancheng chuckled coldly. “However, I do know something else. That is, the words of the side which has more power will always hold more weight than the side which is weaker!”
“Perhaps.” Jiang Dongliu thought about it and, in the end, could only shake his head. “Sigh, state the conditions. I’ll hear them out before deciding if they are doable. I’ll make it clear first, if you dare have any ideas about my granddaughter, I will not hesitate to fight you to the death!”
