By this time, Tandy was already white with anger.
He valued himself as a young supreme cultivator. How could he allow a little boy to question him like
this? Just the thought made his blood boil!
"Of course, I don't think so.
I can suppress an incapable guy like you with only one finger.
Even with my abilities, I wouldn't dare to say that I will replace Austin in the future. What makes you
think that you have the right to brag in this way?"
the boy rebuked. Although his tone was flat, it carried a hint of disdain.
"What? What did he say?
This little boy must be crazy!
How could he have the courage to speak to Tandy like this, face to face?
Does he want to die?"
"This little boy is inviting more trouble than he can handle!
Tandy is not a man to be trifled with."
"Poor little boy! He is too young to understand anything. Now it's too late for him.
Why did he choose to provoke Tandy?"
The other young creatures leaned closer to each other and shook their heads in resignation as they
discussed the little boy's actions and his inevitable fate. None of them could imagine that someone
could be more powerful than Tandy. As such, they were certain that this little boy would die for insulting
Tandy.
"Ha-ha! Little boy, what are you talking about? Are you joking?
Do you believe that you can defeat me with only one finger?
This is the funniest joke I've heard in my life."
Although Tandy was laughing, such resentment and outrage coursed through him that it took all his
willpower not to tremble.
"What I said is not a joke. It is the truth.
Don't you believe me?
Well, I'll prove it to you right now.
I will defeat you with only one finger,"
the little boy reaffirmed.
Loud gasps could be heard from the other young creatures as the little boy's declaration shocked them
to the core. Soon, silence descended as everyone waited with bated breaths to see what would happen
next.
The little boy stretched his arm and uncurled his fist. He raised a finger and made a gentle pressing
motion toward Tandy.
"Argh!" Tandy bellowed. He couldn't believe that the boy would even try!
"You're courting death, little boy. How dare you insult me in this way?
Remember this moment when you're writhing in agony on the ground! You started this, not me.
Not only you but also your clan or sect will suffer for your mistake! I will make them pay for your actions
and the humiliation you seek to lavish on me!
But first, I will show you what it means to suppress someone!"
The more Tandy roared, the redder his face became. His fury had reached its peak, and he couldn't
restrain himself from using violence anymore.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Horrifying energy, beyond anyone's imagination, gushed out of his body and filled the heaven and earth
in an instant, shaking the whole space and time.
Whoosh...
A cyan dragon formed by pure cyan energy rushed out of his head and grew bigger as it hovered mid-
air. In an instant, it turned into an incomparably huge cyan dragon, the sort no one had seen before. It
stretched across space and time before it blitzed toward the little boy.
The little boy remained motionless, uncaring about the danger hurtling toward him. However, the finger
he had stretched earlier began to enlarge rapidly.
Boom!
A large amount of indescribably terrifying energy and laws gushed out from that finger.
In an instant, the little boy's finger became huge, like a pillar that supported the sky. Now, it pointed at
the cyan dragon that was approaching him.
Finally,
the boy's finger collided with the cyan dragon.
Puff!
To everyone's astonishment, the aggressive cyan dragon exploded into nothingness as easily as a
bubble.
Then,
the little boy pointed his finger at Tandy.
Tandy instantly felt as though indescribably terrible energy and laws were descending from the sky.
Each carried the weight of thousands of divine mountains as they suppressed him.
He was so overwhelmed that he found it difficult to stand on his own.
Due to the pressure, he began to bend down slowly.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Tandy's body began to buckle like a big bow.
How could this be possible?
Shock and disbelief reflected on the young creatures' faces as they screamed.
None of them believed what they saw.
After all, the little boy's finger hadn't even touched Tandy yet.
Just the pressure he released was enough to twist and deform Tandy's body. Such strength was too
terrifying.
"Argh... I don't believe it! I can't believe it,"
Tandy roared, but his voice sounded hoarse as though he was on the verge of breaking down.
Deep in his heart, he felt reluctance and distress, as well as a deep sense of frustration.
But, he was not ready to submit at all.
It was known to all that he had gained fame at a young age for having defeated countless young
geniuses and even several powerful warriors of older generations. Until now, he had not been beaten.
He hadn't expected to be unable to resist a little boy's attack. What added shame to his defeat was that
the little boy had only used one finger.
In this way, he was forced to bend in front of so many creatures.
How could a proud man like him accept this outcome?
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Suddenly, blood pooled in his mouth, and he coughed to spit it out.
While some of the blood he spat was a result of damage caused by the little boy's energy pressure,
the rest was because of his anger.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The little boy's finger inched closer and closer to Tandy's head.
As the pressure mounted, Tandy bent more and more.
Finally,
the boy's finger touched Tandy's head and pressed on his scalp.
Bang!
Tandy couldn't resist any longer. His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.
Tears of humiliation gushed out of his eyes, and he screamed,
"Argh...
No, I don't believe it. This must be an illusion. It's not real!
I, Tandy Ouyang, am so capable. Why can't I defeat a little kid?"
The last of Tandy's pride vanished, and he broke down and sobbed loudly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the little boy's finger was still pressed on Tandy's head, it caused his body to sink deeper into the
ground.
A human-shaped pit formed, and Tandy's body seemed to have been swallowed whole. It had gone so
far down that it was no longer visible.
The young creatures trembled, aghast by what they were witnessing. The image of the huge finger
pressing a body into the depths of the earth was one that would haunt them forever.
There was dead silence around.
With eyes still full of shock, they waited to see what would happen next.
"I admit defeat! I admit defeat! Please let me go!
I won't offend you again!"
Suddenly, Tandy's voice echoed from the depths of the earth as he begged for mercy.
"Are you sure that you admit defeat?"
the little boy asked flatly.
"Yes, yes. I'm sure!"
Tandy replied hurriedly. Now that he had been taught a lesson in humility, he didn't sound as arrogant
as before.
"Such being the case, I'll spare you,"
the little boy said lightly.
Then,
he withdrew his finger.
Boom...
A figure then instantly shot toward the sky from the depths of the earth. It hovered on a cloud, a safe
distance from everyone else.
It was none other than Tandy.
At this time, his face was deathly pale. Extreme fear glimmered in his eye as he stared at the little boy.
His body was severely mutilated, and his head, limbs, and torso were all covered in blood and mud.
However, since he was a semi-governing god, these physical injuries meant nothing to him.
In an instant, his body returned to normal.
But he was so terrified of what he had just experienced that he didn't dare to say anything else to the
little boy in front of him.
He knew that the little boy in front of him was way stronger than him.
The little boy glanced at Tandy indifferently before silently turning to leave.
"Wait!"
Tandy suddenly shouted.
"What do you want now?"
The little boy turned and faced Tandy.
"May I know your name?"
Tandy asked.
"Julian Lin,"
the little boy replied.
Then he turned and walked away.
Everyone present was still processing what had happened as the little boy continued to walk further
away.
"Julian Lin, Julian Lin..."
Tandy repeated the name several times as he tried to place where he had heard it before. Suddenly, he
trembled and looked at Julian's receding figure in disbelief.
"What's your relationship with Austin Lin?"
Tandy asked.
"I'm his son,"
Julian answered lightly without looking back. Then he stepped into the depths of the void and
disappeared.
