Chapter 3

Exiting the barrel, Xiao Ning's excitement surged as he felt the incredible power coursing through him.

With his current physical strength alone, he could easily overpower someone in the Dou Master realm.

However, he remained uncertain about facing a Great Dou Master and unleashing his Dou Qi.

"If you doubt a thousand pounds, go for two thousand," he muttered to himself before delivering a powerful punch that echoed throughout the air.

The Immortal Sutra's potential surpassed his expectations, and he knew he was just scratching the surface of its power,there was still a long journey ahead before he reach the first level of mastery.

Visualizing himself facing powerful adversaries, Xiao Ning couldn't help but feel eager for the challenges ahead.

Yet, he also recognized the costly nature of his training, having exhausted the 10,000 gold coins borrowed from his sister within a week, he realized the need to replenish his funds

Venturing outside, Xiao Ning overheard chatter about a commotion at the martial arts training ground involving Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan, concerned for his sister's well-being, he hurried to the scene.

Arriving at the training ground, Xiao Ning witnessed his sister engaged in combat with Xiao Yan.

Despite Xiao Yu's formidable skills as a three-star fighter, Xiao Yan's eighth-level fighting spirit and the teachings of Yao Lao gave him the upper hand.

Seeing Xiao Yu struggle, Xiao Ning's worry intensified, and he rushed to her aid.

However, Xiao Yu urged him to refrain from intervening, aware of Xiao Yan's strength.

Refusing to back down, Xiao Ning challenged Xiao Yan to a rematch, proposing a wager of 100,000 gold coins as compensation for Xiao Yu's medical expenses if he lost. Xiao Xun'er, witnessing the exchange, readily offered to provide the funds, expressing her confidence in Xiao Yan's victory.

Recognizing Xiao Xun'er's unwavering support for Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning felt a pang of bitterness.

He couldn't help but contemplate the irony of his past efforts to gain her favor.

As the battle ensued, Xiao Ning unleashed a surge of power that caught Xiao Yan off guard and with a single devastating blow, Xiao Yan was sent reeling, much to the shock of onlookers.

Witnessing Xiao Ning's unexpected prowess, even Yao Lao was taken aback.

The tide had turned, and Xiao Yan now faced a formidable opponent in Xiao Ning.

The scene unfolded with tension, leaving everyone stunned by Xiao Ning's remarkable display of strength.
