"...."

Huo Yuanba' fists did land on Chen Xiaobei's chest but not a single sound could be heard. And there was no trace of blood as well. Chen Xiaobei was still standing there, immovable.

"What… What the hell is going on?"

Everyone around them was taken aback. Baffled, they could not believe the thing that just happened in front of them.

"Oh god! It's just an afterimage! How is that even possible?"

At that moment, Huo Yuanba finally realized the root of the problem. His fist did not manage to land a single hit on Chen Xiaobei from the very beginning. Instead, he was hitting his afterimage all along.

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

At the same time, the sound of the wind blowing could be heard by everyone. Following that, six Chen Xiaobeis appeared around him. Judging from their physical looks, the afterimages had no difference from the real Chen Xiaobei. Filled with fear, everyone stood there like a statue. Initially, Xia Dinxi and Potter thought that Chen Xiaobei would not be able to take a hit from Huo Yuanba. Now, they were shocked beyond word.

"This… How did he do it?"

Liu Xuanxin was left baffled as well. Her wide-eyed look was adorable.

"Grandpa… Is that some kind of lost skill? It's so hard for me to believe that he can pull off such skill!" Liu Chunyi stuttered, gulping.

"That is not a lost skill! I don't think such a skill actually exists in our earthly realm! Only a demigod can achieve such extreme speed! No one else in this world can create multiple afterimages with only their speed! The thing is I don't think even demigod can create six afterimages at the same time! This is truly unbelievable!" said Liu Xiyuan grimly.

"Are you trying to say that the kid that stands in front of us is actually a demigod?!" asked Liu Chunyi with his pupils shrinking, filled with fear.

Liu Xiyuan was looking baffled when Liu Chunyi asked the question. Seemingly he was not too sure about it as well.

"Maximal Shadow! Shatter!" 

Along with the loud shout, all six Chen Xioabei began to strike at Huo Yuanba from different directions.

"This…"

"Out of instinct, Huo Yuanba swung his fists at the two Chen Xiaobeis that were closest to him.

*Swoosh*

*Swoosh*

The moment Huo Yuanba's iron fists landed on the afterimages, they disappeared into the thin air.

"It's fake! Again!"

With sweat dripping down from his forehead, Huo Yuanba did not know how to deal with the rest of the four afterimages. It was hard for his brain to perceive which the real Chen Xiaobei was. Immediately, the rest of the four Chen Xiaobeis charged at him at the same time.

*Swoosh*

Left with no other option, Huo Yuanba had to channel all his remaining True Kang to his body to strengthen his armor. All he could hope right now was to block Chen Xiaobei's attack. Seconds later, the Chen Xiaobeis that came from right, left, and back were gone when they came in contact with Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor.

"The one that charges at me from the front is the real one!"

Huo Yuanba managed to locate the real Chen Xiaobei in split seconds. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaobei had already got too close for him to counter his attack. He could only use his True Kang armor to block his attack.

"The way you fight is really magical. Unfortunately, you are just trying to put on a fancy show for everyone! I don't think your attack is going to work on me! Without breaking my True Kang armor, there is no way that you can defeat me!"

Clearly, Huo Yuanba was extremely confident that his True Kang armor could block Chen Xiaobei's attack. That was because the element that he chose to train on was earth! Usually, those who trained the earth element would have a higher advantage when it came to defense.

"Is that right?"

"Speed has always been the key element to defeat someone! Speed is strength!"

*Boom!*

Like a cannon ball, Chen Xiaobei landed his destructive fist on Huo Yuanba's armor.

*Crack*

The sound of something cracking could be heard by everyone.

"How… How is that even possible… My True Kang is started to shatter… It's shattering…"

Seconds later, Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor was shattered into pieces. Immediately, his pupils were reduced to needlepoint and sweat started to drip down from his forehead as well. He had never dream that Chen Xiaobei's fist was actually powerful enough to destroy his True Kang armor.

*Huu…*

Again, Chen Xiaoei was preparing to throw another punch at Huo Yuanba. However, he chose to stop his fist two centimeters before it came in contact with his chest. Clearly, Chen Xiaobei had no intention of hurting him at all.

"What now? Are you going to surrender to me?" asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.

"I yield… I yield… You have defeated me!" said Huo Yuanba in a fearful tone.

Huo Yuanba would have been left crippled if Chen Xiaobei landed this attack on him. With this attack alone, Huo Yuanba had to admit that he could never afford to hurt Chen Xiaobei.

"This is truly unbelievable… How did that kid do it?" asked Xia Dinxin in astonishment.

"I can't figure it out as well… Logically speaking, only a person with a higher combat power can shatter Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor! From what we know, that kid just achieved True Nirvana cultivation not too long ago! How is it possible for him to possess such terrifying strength?!"

"Grandpa… I think that kid is the real deal… He really is a demigod!" said Liu Chunyi with sweat on his forehead, palms, and back.

"Err…"

Nodding, Liu Xiyuan did not want to admit the fact that Chen Xiaobei was a demigod but he had no other choice after he witnessed Chen Xiaobei's battle with Huo Yuanba.

"Chen Xiaobei… Who are you? Why did I fail to know you better after spending more and more time with you?" mumbled Liu Xuanxin.

The reason why Liu Xuanxin chose to cover her face whenever she saw Chen Xiaobei was because she wanted to understand Chen Xiaobei more before she revealed her true identity. However, she felt that she needed more time to get to know Chen Xiaobei after spending more time with him. To her, he was a mysterious man that was surrounded by multiple layers of mist. Every time when she unveiled a layer of him, there were a couple more layers of mist that awaited her.

"Can I ask you how you did that just now?"

Gulping, Huo Yuanba stopped channeling True Kang to his body and he had no intention to continue fighting Chen Xiaobei.

"I can tell you about it in future. Not now," said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging.

A mysterious aura was reflected from his eyes. This was after all an important secret. No one knew about it except for him and his three Spiritual Beasts!

Hundreds of meters away, inside the woods lied a big black wolf. Seemingly, it had just used up its energy. A golden beetle could be seen lying on top of its nose.

"Obsidian Gale Penumbra is awesome! It's so damn powerful! With only one single skill, Bro Bei manage to defeat the enemy with it! That's so cool!"

*Psst!*

"My Absolute Zero Zone is the best! Quickly! Plant the hexworm into my body! Use my skill to kill the enemies instead!" said the white cat that was on top of the big black wolf's head.
