Yang was dragged for a few minutes and was let go when they reached a meadow. The green line slowed down and stopped as well, and it was a man. The man was much taller than Yang, had long blond hair, and had very sharp green eyes. The man was wearing a green cultivation robe, but its side was white. There were two blades in a scabbard on each of his sides. He had a green pendant along with a ring that had no design.

Man: Tell me, why did you hurt my brother?

Yang: I don't know who you are and what you are talking about! Now, if you don't mind, I will take my leave because I have to get back to my friend!

Man: Actually, I mind! You stay and tell me; WHY did you do that? Why did you hurt my brother? If you give a satisfactory answer and kneel down and apologise, I might let you keep your miserable life!

Yang: I am telling you that I don't know who you are talking about.

Man: Yes, you are right; I have overestimated your capabilities of recognising others' status. I have been informed that you have hurt my brother, Xiu. So, what was your reason for harming him? Do you know who he, who WE are?

Yang: No, now that you mentioned that Xiu is your brother, I have absolutely no interest in knowing who you people are!

Man: How pitiful, it seems you shall die today by my hand for disrespecting our family. A family who will soon be granted a surname!

Yang: Be granted surname?

Man: It seems your knowledge is inadequate; let me enlighten you, you peasant!

Yang: This guy is getting on my nerves!!

Man: Surname is only grated to either highly respected families or families who have contributed significantly to the nation or have considerable power, wealth and influence!

Yang: So that is why that guy acted strangely. What was his name?... R-r... Ransou!

Man: Not that it really matters to a dead man. You will perish today in this very location!

The man dashed forward with such swiftness that Yang barely had enough time to lift his arms to block. Even though he managed to block the attack, he was blasted backwards. After the man pulled his fist back, he extended two of his fingers on that very hand and trusted his hand forward, and along with it, he sped forward. His fingers were drawing a green line, and he reached the flying Yang in a split second and hit him with his extended fingers. A firey green explosion erupted from his fingers upon impact, further accelerating Yang's flight.

Man: Worm, now you know your place!

Yang landed quite a few meters away but jumped up right away.

Yang: Oh, don't worry, I know my limits!

Man: Interesting... I have reached the fifth level of Body Reinvigoration, while he is only reached the seventh level of Foundation Conception! Although I did hold back, anyone below the first level of Body Reinvigoration should have been incinerated by my last attack, yet he is perfectly fine.

Yang shook his hands and then proceeded to close the gap between them. While he was running, the man stared into his eyes.

Man: Come, and show me what you can do, maggot!

The moment Yang closed and got closer, he wanted to deliver a swift jab to the man's face, but this attempt was evaded, and instead, he was delivered a devastating punch to the face. Yang slid back and fell; his nose started bleeding, but with a swift jump, he stood up. He was dizzy but rushed back to the man.

Man: Who is this guy? He is sturdier than he was before! Is he some kind of genius who can develop if they are under pressure and fight?! Fine, then, I will not hold back!

Yang shook his head, but it was grabbed by the man who launched himself forward. Yang was pushed down and was being dragged on the ground by the man who was running with great speed. Suddenly the man stopped and threw Yang forward. Yang instantly regained his balance; although he was sliding, he used all his might to stop. As for the man, he grabbed the pedant in his neck, and from it, a bolt of lightning struck Yang, who finally managed to stop. Yang was hit with the bolt, but he was perfectly fine; he even seemed more energetic because he once again rushed back at his opponent.

Man: How did he do that? How did he not only survive but remain uninjured by my artefact!? I underestimated him.

Yang quickly got to the man and unleashed a swift punch, but the man dodged it and instead wanted to punch Yang, just like he did the last time. However, he blocked the man's fist, smiled, and unleased an even faster punch aimed at the man's chest, and Yang's opponent was unable to evade, so instead, he blocked the fist. Then Yang started punching the man rapidly, all aimed at his chest, but the man blocked each and every attempt, and on top of that, the man only used one of his hands.

Man: He is getting gradually stronger and faster with every punch. I can't let him look down on me!

The man suddenly sent his free hand flying at Yang. Yang stopped punching and stepped out of the way while slightly turned away. At that time, Yang used one of his hands to push the man's fist slightly away and used his other hand's elbow to hit the man's mouth, hitting three of his teeth. The man kicked Yang away with a powerful kick in the side. Yang slid away and coughed; the man, on the other hand, spat his broken teeth out and glared back at Yang.

Man: Worm! I wanted to give you a painless death, but you left me with no other choice! I will use. I think you are familiar with this artefact. My brother used a very similar one on you; unfortunately for you, mine is much more powerful!

The pendant hanging on the man's neck started glowing, and he removed it and lifted it up. Suddenly a bolt of lightning hit Yang, and more and more hit. THe pedant started glowing brighter and brighter; the brighter it got, the more lightning struck Yang. Soon the pedant cracked and shattered; at that very moment, no more bolt of lightning appeared. After the pendant broke, Yang fell and didn't move but seemed physically fine.

Man: Worm! You got what you deserved!
