The Sun was setting. It was night time.
The square was packed with people. There were at least a few hundred of them.
Without an exception, they all stared at Ling Xian with mocking eyes. Fan Gang, in particular, did not even try to hide his mockery.
This made Ling Xian's expression turn cold. His eyes were full of coldness.
Though the square was a crowded place, under normal circumstances, hundreds of people cannot gather here. Plus, they were all taunting him.
This meant, someone had informed the entire clan that Ling Xian was going to lift up a special Stone. That person, without a doubt, was Fan Gang.
His intention was obvious. He wanted Ling Xian to lose face in front of many people. He wanted him to lose all of his face and lose all of it!
How cruel was this? Why wouldn't Ling Xian be furious?
He stared at Fan Gang coldly, "How cruel. I don't remember ever offending you."
Fan Gang hadn't even opened his mouth when Fan Li spoke up before him.
"His wife is the daughter of the Feng Clan."
At this, Ling Xian had a realization.
Back when he was still at the choosing level, he started a feud with the Feng Clan. Since then, it has only gotten worse. Today, it has become an irreconcilable conflict.
Without exaggerating, the majority of the Feng Clan wanted to kill Ling Xian. However, he grew far too fast. There was nothing the Feng Clan could do.
"I was wondering why you were so hostile towards me from the beginning. So this is the reason." Ling Xian's expression was cold. He understood what Fan Gang was thinking, but he would never forgive him.
No matter what the reason was, Fan Gang's provocation was a fact. Now, he was trying to make Ling Xian lose face. Who could forgive him?
"You can only blame yourself for sending yourself to my doorstep. Naturally, I will humiliate you to avenge my wife." Fan Gang smiled coldly.
"Humiliate?"
Ling Xian's eyes turned cold, "Are you sure you won't be the one humiliating yourself?"
"I am humiliating myself? Haha, how funny! "
Fan Gang laughed brightly and shifted his gaze towards everyone, "Who do you think will be the one humiliating himself?"
"Haha, that goes without saying. It's him!"
"Does he really think the Stone is easy to lift? He can't even lift a normal one, let alone a special one! "
"That's right. What a fool who overestimates himself. He actually dares to challenge the special Meteor Stone that can only be lifted by the physical body's limit. He's simply asking to be humiliated."
Some people agreed with Fan Gang and mocked Ling Xian.
"There are always so many idiots in the world."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold. He didn't argue. He just wanted to lift up this special Meteorite and humiliate Fan Gang.
Although he didn't have much confidence, things had already come to this point. If he retreated, it would be even more embarrassing than failure.
"All of you, shut up!"
Fan Li bellowed, his voice shaking the heavens, as well as everyone present.
Those who mocked Ling Xian shut their mouths obediently. Even Fan Gang was startled for a moment.
Seeing this, Fan Li shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and said apologetically, "I am sorry. I didn't think things would turn out this way. Please forgive me."
"Forgive me?"
Ling Xian smiled. He believed that Fan Li wasn't just trying to make things difficult for him. He also believed that Fan Li's apology was sincere.
But now that things had come to this, how could he forgive them? How could he forgive her?
Thus, Ling Xian said softly, "That is a joke that isn't funny. There is no need to say anymore."
Hearing this, Fan Li glared at Fan Gang. There was anger and helplessness.
His original intention wasn't to make Ling Xian lose all face. He merely wanted Ling Xian to back off without offending him. But after what Fan Gang did, no matter what the result was, they were now enemies.
Therefore, why wouldn't Fan Li be angry?
He was silent for a while and hesitated, "Friend Ling, why don't we stop today and try again in the future. Don't worry, next time, I will clear the area. No one will be around and the result will not be leaked. "
Hearing this, Ling Xian laughed again. His sarcasm was obvious.
He believed that Fan Li truly wanted to make it up to him. But his situation right now was like riding a tiger, how could he back off?
"That joke isn't funny either. Leader Fan, please shut up. You are not suited for jokes."
Ling Xian glared at Fan Li. Whether it was his stare or his words, they made Fan Li bitterly smile and speechless.
He truly was joking. If Ling Xian backs off, then that would be more embarrassing than failure!
At least if he failed, he wouldn't be afraid of him.
"Haha, big brother, stop it."
Fan Gang laughed out loud, "Since this fella doesn't know what's good for him, then why are you saying so much?"
At those words, Ling Xian's expression turned cold. Fan Li, like a barrel of gunpowder that had been ignited, completely exploded.
"Bastard, shut up!"
Fan Li screamed. It wasn't all because he hated Ling Xian, it was also because Fan Gang had disobeyed him time and time again, making him feel like he had lost some of his dignity as a leader.
"Big brother!"
Fan Gang's expression changed, knowing that Fan Li was truly angry. He shut his mouth and no longer spoke.
"Hmmph, I will deal with you later."
Fan Li hissed and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian. But other than sighing, he had nothing to say.
"Fan Gang, Rice Bucket. What an interesting name."
Ling Xian glared at Fan Gang, "Why don't we just call you Rice Bucket. After all, you live up to your name."
"You!"
Fan Gang was enraged, knowing that Ling Xian was indirectly insulting him.
"Shut up and watch. Let's see who loses face in the end." Ling Xian spoke softly, feeling too lazy to waste any more time.
Therefore, he marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
His target was the Stone of Falling Stars.
Then, Ling Xian didn't waste any more time. He wrapped his arms around the stone's waist.
This piqued everyone's interest. There was anticipation, mockery, and disdain in their eyes.
Ling Xian saw all of this but didn't care.
Words were too weak. Only reality was the best and most effective way to fight back.
Therefore, Ling Xian calmed himself down and elevated his physique to its peak. Then, he used all of his energy and shouted.
"Rise!"
As he shouted, his face instantly turned red, and his body trembled a little. It was obvious how much strength he used.
However, the Stone of Falling Stars did not move an inch.
This caused everyone to roar with laughter. Mocking words rang out one after another, and they were as ugly as they could be.
At this, Ling Xian ignored them.
He focused on the Stone of Falling Stars before him and used all of his energy to lift it above his head. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not move the stone.
It was far too heavy and was at the limit of a physique in the advanced stage. Though Ling Xian was very close, he was still a hair away.
This hair seemed tiny, but under this extreme test, it was magnified infinitely. It was as hard to cross as the sky.
Therefore, despite Ling Xian's best efforts, he could not move the Stone of Falling Stars. He couldn't even lift it an inch.
This silenced the entire place. Then, the entire place erupted in laughter.
Most people were laughing. Fan Gang, in particular, didn't even try to hide it and was extremely presumptuous.
Just then, however, Ling Xian exploded with heavenly light. Like the undying Sun, everyone subconsciously shielded their eyes.
