Chapter 301: 281 Fierce Battle 1

Two sisters were knocked to the ground, causing a commotion that drew the eyes of other clanspeople nearby.

Some who were familiar with Li Chonglan and her sister furrowed their brows, and someone quickly approached, clearly intending to intervene.

Li Chongnan had no interest in dealing with them.

If she wanted to obtain the status of successor, she had to catch the attention of the family elders.

And in the Li Family, things were different from other clans.

Here, it was survival of the fittest. The strong could gain a great deal of privileges and benefits, while the weak had only themselves to rely on.

So as long as she didn’t kill anyone, given the current medical methods, the stronger and more potential she displayed, the better the attitude of the family’s upper echelons would be.

Now, what she needed to do was to target a clansman to overturn her previous image for everyone.

Otherwise, a sudden change would be too great without any buildup, and others might not accept it.

The elders would also become suspicious.

As for how to change her image.

"Li Chongnan, have you lost your mind? How dare you hit Xiao En!?" A muscular, short-haired young man quickly came over.

He was dressed in a shiny silver luxury suit, with the latest Intelligent Crystal AI floating beside him.

He swiftly helped Li Chongen up and glared at Li Chongnan with anger.

"She can fight back, I don’t mind," Li Chongnan said indifferently.

She didn’t even glance at this cousin who had suddenly appeared.

The Li Family had too many people of the same generation, and relationships were usually indifferent, with no real kinship.

What existed was only interest.

She strode towards the barbecue gathering.

"You, stop right there!"

The young man shouted angrily, stood up, and reached out to grab her shoulder.

Snap.

His hand did indeed catch her shoulder.

But when he applied force, he couldn’t move it at all.

Li Chongnan’s weight and strength were much greater than he had anticipated.

"Let go."

She tilted her head slightly.

The practice of the Holy Spirit Technique made her feel refreshed, as if she had been reborn.

The life she used to live seemed like a dream to her now.

A dazed, confusing dream.

But now.

She was awake.

"You!?" The young man put more strength into his grip but still couldn’t budge her. His expression subtly changed.

"Before you stand up for others, you should consider how weak you are yourself."

Li Chongnan struck like lightning, grabbed the young man’s collar, and pulled him close.

Bang!

A knee strike.

The young man, who had practiced a bit of basic Combat Technique, was no match for this sudden attack.

His nose broke on the spot, his body stiffened, and he fell to the ground.

"Li Chongnan! Have you gone mad!?"

Two women who were nearby and approaching with drinks shouted loudly.

One had long hair dyed dark green and a cold demeanor.

The other was athletic, with short ashy hair and tight clothing, showing signs of regular exercise.

These two were the highest-ranking and most influential members of the Li Family among the group.

Li Chongying and Li Chongxue.

The sisters were different from the others; in this branch, they were geniuses specializing in Flying Yi and Combat Technique.

They had just barely passed the Feiyi Master certification and had become true Feiyi Masters.

For a great clan like the Li Family, money wasn’t an issue.

The Feiyi Master certification, which seemed simpler for ordinary people, was actually the hurdle that prevented them from climbing higher.

Ordinary people might only get a cheap Flying Yi when becoming Feiyi Masters.

But it was different for the Li Family; once someone became a Feiyi Master, they were immediately equipped with the best gear and weapons.

Military-grade top-tier Flying Yi were standard, and Level Four Force Field Generators were basic.

Whether they could use it well or not didn’t matter—get equipped first and talk later.

Here, Li Chongying and Li Chongxue were like that. Among the female clanspeople, these two official Feiyi Masters were considered talented.

"Li Chongnan!!" The woman with ashy hair quickly took a step, stamped the ground, and rushed towards Li Chongnan.

Snap.

Her right arm shot out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Li Chongnan’s chest.

Her move was flawless in speed, strength, and timing, revealing her solid foundation in Combat Technique.

Unfortunately, Li Chongnan blocked the strike with one hand, and upon contact, a crisp sound was heard.

Swiftly, the woman with short hair attacked again, turning sideways for a high kick aimed at Li Chongnan’s chin.

But Li Chongnan caught the leg and pulled back forcefully.

Just as she started to exert strength, another ashy leg shadow struck towards Li Chongnan’s temple.

Hands and legs collided rapidly, and within seconds,

Li Chongnan suddenly crouched and charged forward like a wild bull, ramming violently into the woman with ashy hair.

Crack.

A rib on the woman’s body made a faint sound, and she was taken by surprise, hurled through the air, tumbling over a dozen times on the grass before stopping and getting up.

Wow.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her head drenched in sweat, and she stood up only to kneel down again, clutching her stomach.

"What on earth are you trying to do!?" The woman with green hair paused, clearly seeing that Li Chongnan, who had changed her usual submissive behavior, was now unrestrained, no longer enduring, and confronting anyone she encountered.

"You shouldn’t be asking what I intend to do." Li Chongnan halted his steps, "You should be asking what they’re afraid of."

"You...!?"

"Your voice is too noisy... quite an eyesore..."

Li Chongnan’s gaze lifted slightly, revealing a trace of fierceness.

"Cripple her! I’ll take responsibility!!" The green-haired woman raged.

In an instant, the surrounding onlookers of the clan, some quickly backed away, while others sprinted forward.

But those clansmen who were accustomed to practicing Combat Technique had already changed their expressions, realizing how strong Li Chongnan’s skills were at this moment.

A few people withdrew, seeking to avoid a conflict eruption.

Just as Da Zhuang completely erupted within the clan grounds.

Li Chengyi remained three thousand meters away on the surface of the earth, quietly standing under the night sky, waiting for the outcome.

He had no objections to Da Zhuang’s method of display, leaving it entirely up to Li Chongnan’s own decision.

And the so-called method was simple.

That was, to fight.

Find any excuse to start a fight, beat up the disciples of one branch until they submit, then go find other branches to do the same, finally moving on to the main branch to take action.

Simple, crude, but effective.

According to Li Chongnan, although everyone in the clan association does their own thing, varying levels gather together for their respective exchanges.

But in reality, strength is still revered.

Every move of the younger generation is constantly monitored, serving as material for elders to evaluate the family.

So, in the Li Family, it’s not a bad temper they fear, but a lack of strength, a lack of excellence!

Standing outside the entrance to the Li Family grounds, beside a flying vessel.

Li Chengyi quietly listened to the groans and screams coming through his earpiece, his heart undisturbed as an ancient well.

Weapons were not allowed in the clan grounds, an environment highly reminiscent of fierce combat matches.

To win against Da Zhuang, one must rely on pure Combat Technique.

And now, she might not be said to be very strong in Combat Technique, but her lethality was definitely top-notch.

The uniqueness of the Holy Spirit Technique allowed for surprise attacks and rapid, severe injury to the opponent.

To avoid trouble and investigation, he cautioned Da Zhuang that when using the Sword of Wisdom, try to concentrate and launch internal strikes.

This way, from the outside, it would be undetectable and could even be disguised as a kind of special force.

Before long, with a final thud coming through the earpiece.

"It’s over," Da Zhuang’s voice rose slowly.

"Even though I’ve pretended for so many years, you’re still wastes that couldn’t amount to a wall..."

"Too disappointing..."

After entering the first level of the Holy Spirit Technique, Da Zhuang’s emotions had undergone a clear change.

Compared to before, she was now more aggressive and her actions more extreme.

Li Chengyi’s brows furrowed slightly, having witnessed the changes in her step by step.

Clearly, these were the side effects or perhaps the sequelae of the Holy Spirit Technique.

Yet he didn’t have such issues himself.

’No wonder a Holy Infant is used for cultivation instead, is it to share the side effects, while the power and enlightenment are split with me?’

He had a revelation.

By then, the voices from the earpieces quieted down.

Soon after, Da Zhuang’s voice came again.

"Teacher, my father wishes to see you."

"Fine, let him come to the usual place," said Li Chengyi indifferently.

The Holy Infant was just starting training, and he needed to take good care of her. After all, he still hoped that she would win the major competition for a temporary authority within the family.

Ten minutes later, at the Hongxin Warehouse.

On the gloomy and spacious open ground.

Two men, one tall and one short, both wearing white suits and short hair, walked slowly into the gate, looking towards Li Chengyi who stood at the deepest part of the warehouse.

Neither of the two men had particularly strong builds.

The man in front had many features similar to Da Zhuang’s, but with a more contemplative and gentle demeanor, always smiling as if he had a good-for-business air about him.

The man behind had a cold gaze, his lower face covered by a black mask, and a thin, pale blue long sword strapped to his back.

In the dim light, tiny, scattered blue glimmers flickered on the ancient sword body.

Clearly, that was a Feiyi.

"Xiao Nan has been under your care, I am her father, Li Changgu. The incident in the clan grounds has caused quite a stir, and after careful consideration, I think it best to meet with Mr. Li in person," said the shorter, amiable man in a gentle tone.

"To meet or not to meet, what difference does it make?" asked Li Chengyi.

"The main reason for the meeting is to guard against other Li family members playing dirty, and I hope Mr. Li can move to my Cold Hut to avoid trouble for a few days," Li Changgu said earnestly.

"Avoid trouble? Do they know who I am? Know that I’m the one teaching Li Chongnan Combat Technique?" Li Chengyi countered.

"It wouldn’t be hard to find that out." Li Changgu answered.

"What about you then?" Li Chengyi looked from the shadows into the man’s eyes. "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll bring trouble for you?"

"Afraid. But Xiao Nan is different now; the clan elders have raised their overall assessment of her. Consequently, I’ve also reaped quite a few benefits. It’s survival of the fittest, and for the weak to challenge the strong is to court disaster," Li Changgu smiled. "And for the kindness you have shown Xiao Nan in your teachings, no matter the trouble, as a parent, I certainly should not shy away."

No one was clearer than him about the cruelty within the top noble families of Yi Country.

It was exactly because of this cruelty that he, once an ordinary clan member with no special talents, fought desperately to grow into the affluent figure of Chaoyu he was today.

Li Chengyi, understanding the look in his eyes, grasped the man’s intentions.

Seeking him out at the first opportunity, his purpose was probably not just for protection as he claimed.

He was also hiding his teacher’s identity.

After all, if he could teach one Li Chongnan, he could teach a second, a third.

Amongst their peers in the clan, there were indeed those with greater talent than his daughter; should they be discovered by the powers behind them...

Truly, those who became affluent figures in Chaoyu all had their reasons.

They saw the situation clearly from the start.

His teacher was not just a benefactor, but a resource!

"Okay," Li Chengyi’s lips curled into a slight smile.
