Chapter 238: The True Genius

After saying those words, Chen Xiao stepped forward and entered the Snowy Night Family’s gates.
The two guards by the door immediately reached out to stop him, but before they could get close, they were pushed aside by a mighty force.
“You two fools! The family only keeps idiots like you, which is why it’s in such a mess.”
Xueye Yinxing narrowed his eyes and suddenly attacked, his palm emitting a dazzling silver light as he lunged at Chen Xiao.
“Fools! Stay back!”
Chen Xiao didn’t even glance at Xueye Yinxing. With a wave of his hand and a firm shout, he said, “Get lost! A genius? In my eyes, you’re nothing but a complete fool.”
As he waved his hand, a force akin to that of a world emerged from his body and struck Xueye Yinxing.
Xueye Yinxing felt as if he had been hit by the Himalayas of the mortal world. An irresistible force rose from deep within him.
Spit!
Blood gushed from his mouth as he was flung backward. His right arm, which he had stretched out, hung limply—its bones clearly broken.
Chen Xiao ignored him completely and strode into the Snowy Night Family’s gates.
“Hey, young man! Didn’t I warn you? Tone down your arrogance. Now you’ve angered someone you shouldn’t. If it weren’t for the Snowy Night Family’s sake, he would’ve gone all out. Even a hundred of you together wouldn’t stand a chance against him.”
Yuye Xiaochen smirked maliciously at Xueye Yinxing before following inside.
……
“Dare you intrude in the Snowy Night Family! You’ve hurt one of their core members!”
The moment Chen Xiao stepped in, countless angry shouts echoed in his ears.
Almost simultaneously, hundreds of fierce attacks arrived at his face.
The perpetrators of these attacks were all ninth-tier ablers. This showed the strength of the superpowers in the Abnormal World. Just outside the Snowy Night Family’s gates, there were hundreds of ninth-tier ablers guarding it.
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, unafraid.
“Furious Sky Fist!”
With a roar, Chen Xiao threw a punch. His fist expanded infinitely, seemingly filling the entire space. His punch carried a surge of rage, vast as the ocean.
The hundreds of ninth-tier warriors who attacked him saw a blur before their eyes and felt fear—as if the wrath of an entire world had been poured upon them. Soon, they suffered severe chest pain and lost consciousness.
It was the Furious Sky Fist, a boxing technique from theCántiān Tú (Cántiān Tú). With just one punch, it knocked out hundreds of ninth-tier warriors.
“Pathetic scum.”
Chen Xiao’s mental power spread out instantly, exploring every inch of the Snowy Night Family’s headquarters.
“What an arrogant kid!”
At that moment, an angry roar sounded, followed by an invisible domain pressing down on Chen Xiao.

In this realm, it was a world of flames—various kinds of flames that covered everything, burning toward Chen Xiao’s body.
“Flames?”
Chen Xiao sneered. In his sea of consciousness, the main divine entity immediately unleashed its primal power—the vast and boundless power of the water deity—surging forth wildly.
The “Imperial Character Art” technique was also activated at full strength.
Nine forms of water energy formed nine rings around Chen Xiao’s body, spreading out in all directions.
“Destroy them!”
Chen Xiao raised his hand, and the nine forms of water energy burst forth, turning into nine-colored divine water that suppressed everything around it.
In an instant, the fierce flames were extinguished.
“Hmph, a realm belonging to someone at the third level of a domain?”
Chen Xiao sneered again. He unleashed the “Furious Sky Fist,” shattering the realm with a single punch.
“Pfft!”
The immortal warrior hidden in the shadows spat out a mouthful of blood. The laws of immortality within his body were cracked. Before he could even appear, he was knocked unconscious by Chen Xiao’s fierce punch.
“Who exactly are you? What brings you to our Xueye Family?”
Suddenly, a cool female voice rang out. A woman dressed in purple, with long purple hair, stepped out from the inner courtyard.
A thin veil covered her face, hiding her true appearance, but her voice was like a gentle stream—extremely pleasant to hear. She wore a purple robe that accentuated her perfect figure.
“A master!”
Upon seeing this woman, Chen Xiao’s expression shifted slightly, and a sense of caution arose in his heart.
He couldn’t discern her cultivation level at all.
“Who I am, your Xueye Family surely knows, right?” Chen Xiao sneered coldly, speaking without any courtesy. “Why ask when you already know?”
“Chen Xiao, not bad…” The woman in purple smiled. “It’s been less than half a year since you first appeared, and rumors said you were just a third-tier sorcerer back then. Who would have thought you’d grow to this extent? Any so-called genius in front of you is nothing but trash.”
“You flatter me,” Chen Xiao said with a forced smile.
“Some time ago, you formed a faction and subdued the Chen family. But remember, this is the Xueye Family, not that tiny Chen family.”
The woman in purple’s voice turned icy instantly.
“I don’t want to do anything. I just want to see my grandfather and retrieve my things,” Chen Xiao said with a smirk.
“See your grandfather?” The woman in purple pondered for a moment. “That’s not impossible, but you must prove you have enough strength to deserve it.”
“Oh? Do you want to compete with me?” Chen Xiao was delighted. He could easily see her intentions.
“That’s right,” the woman in purple nodded. “I, Xueye Zixing, am hailed as the greatest genius in the history of the Three Nights Family over the past thousand years. And you, Chen Xiao, seem like an unparalleled freak in the entire world of supernatural abilities. I’ve long wanted to compete with you.”
“Xueye Zixing…” Chen Xiao frowned slightly.
“Go ahead.”

On the snowy night, Xueye Zixing’s body swayed slightly, and a purple ribbon appeared in her hand instantly, swirling straight toward Chen Xiao’s body. Chen Xiao showed no fear at all; he stepped forward, and a thick orange glow suddenly flashed in his hand—It was the Power of Heavy Water. In an instant, his body became as steady as Mount Tai, unmoved, allowing the purple ribbon to coil around him. Xueye Zixing’s strength was light, agile, and unpredictable. In a speed contest, Chen Xiao would be at a severe disadvantage, so he transformed his own strength into something heavy, allowing her to change endlessly while he remained still. Chen Xiao had already realized that this woman’s cultivation level was extremely high, far surpassing his own. This wasn’t the Tianlong Secret Realm, where he could rely on the power of that space. Right now, his strength was only comparable to that of a cultivator at the fifth level of the Domain Realm. Yet Xueye Zixing’s cultivation level was clearly above the fifth level of the Domain Realm, even higher. Chen Xiao’s body was enveloped in an orange glow, but the purple ribbon couldn’t break through his defense in any way. Finally, a purple light flashed in Xueye Zixing’s eyes, and the purple ribbon suddenly spun, wrapping around Chen Xiao’s body along with the orange glow surrounding it. “Damn it! This ribbon is actually a Virtual Divine Artifact!” Inside the ribbon, Chen Xiao’s expression changed slightly, but he wasn’t worried at all. Outside his body, the orange Power of Heavy Water retracted abruptly, and his entire body turned into a trail of nothingness, slipping through the gaps in the Virtual Divine Artifact. “It’s my turn!” Chen Xiao’s body arrived beside Xueye Zixing, and he launched a furious punch. “Get lost!” Xueye Zixing’s expression remained unchanged. With a wave of her hand, the sixth-level purple domain around her body merged into a stream of purple light, rushing toward Chen Xiao’s punch. Boom! The two streams of purple light collided in mid-air. The space within three feet kept being destroyed and reformed over and over again in just one breath—more than a hundred times. Above Chen Xiao’s body, the phantom image of snowflakes reappeared, protecting his body. Chen Xiao’s face paled slightly, and he involuntarily stepped back three steps. Xueye Zixing also stepped back three steps. The two were evenly matched. But Xueye Zixing had used the power of the sixth-level domain, along with the assistance of the Virtual Divine Artifact, while Chen Xiao still had his trump card unused—the ice-blue Origin Spirit Flame, which remained safely in his dantian. Moreover, he hadn’t used the phantom images of the nine worlds from the Heavenly Map either. Although Xueye Zixing also had many unused trump cards, it wasn’t difficult for Chen Xiao to subdue her. “Not bad. Truly worthy of being a genius from the Xueye Family,” Chen Xiao said, narrowing his eyes slightly. “You’re not bad either,” Xueye Zixing replied, her face beneath the veil turning slightly pale. “Qingluan, Huofeng!” Suddenly, she let out a low roar, and two clear bird calls rang out. One green and one red, two giant birds resembling legendary phoenixes appeared above her head.

“Beast Tamer…” Chen Xiao was momentarily stunned. At this moment, he remembered the Black Tortoise egg that had been eaten by Xi Xi. He didn’t know how long that egg had been nurtured or how much life essence it had absorbed, but now all of that had ended up inside some cat’s stomach.
The Qingluan Fire Phoenix was a legendary divine beast, on par with the Sky Dragons of the Floating Clouds race, extremely powerful.
At this moment, Xueye Zixing utilized two divine birds, causing his strength to surge threefold!
Chen Xiao’s face twitched slightly as, in his hands, the form of snowflakes slowly took shape.
