Emperor Asura was stunned for a long time, and after coming to his senses, anger welled up from his heart, and he roared furiously, spitting on Xiao Mingxuan's face: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! This is a superb plan crafted by the collaboration of the Di Family and the Ancient Martial Realm over thirty years, brilliant and flawless, the plan is absolutely impossible to fail, no one has the capability to disrupt our plan!"

"Dad, before the end of the grand competition and the failure of the plan, I thought the same way!"

"But... but that person is just too talented, too outrageous, too terrifying, too unbeatable!"

"You don't know how powerful that kid is! When he strikes, he uses a super Ancient Martial Medical Technique, the Heaven Soul Revival Acupuncture Technique, which has been lost for thousands of years, and even resurrected the woman 'dead' for thousands of years from the Xiao Family's coffin!"

"Now, all major families in the Ancient Martial Realm respect him, and to please him, they even withdraw from the Anti-Xiao Family Alliance on the spot, siding with him to confront the Di Family, the entire Ancient Martial Realm is awed by his heaven-defying potential!"

"He is younger than me, yet in terms of Ancient Martial Medical Technique and Ancient Martial prowess, he completely outclasses me, this genius, many times over!"

"In front of him, I'm like an ant, a clown, I am completely no match for him!"

"Before the start of the grand competition, we absolutely did not foresee such a monstrous talent participating!"

"He almost single-handedly destroyed our plan! If we had foreseen that such a prodigy would compete, we definitely would have formulated a more perfect plan and avoided such a downfall!"

Xiao Mingxuan was trembling with fear by Emperor Asura's intense anger, his knees buckling onto the ground, trying his best to portray Ye Huan as exceptionally formidable in his words, and hinting that the failure was due to an imperfect plan, clearing himself of any blame.

However, Emperor Asura only cared about the result, not the process!

He needed to get hold of the Xiao Family's Divine Artifact, to present to the head of the sequence, thereby earning the chance to recover from injuries and reach the pinnacle of life!

Since Xiao Mingxuan went to Wudang Mountain to join the competition on Ancient Martial Medical Technique, Emperor Asura had been fantasizing day and night about the prosperity he would achieve after acquiring the Xiao Family's Divine Artifact.

He eagerly anticipated Xiao Mingxuan bringing back good news!

Who would have thought, he'd bring back such bad news!

The worst possible news!

"You useless trash, you can't accomplish anything, I'll beat you dead!!!"

Emperor Asura was extremely angry, even his broken spine gave him a sudden burst of strength, swinging his right hand, he fiercely slapped the kneeling Xiao Mingxuan across the face!

"Slap!!!"

The loud slap echoed continually over the tile house!

Xiao Mingxuan fell to the ground, clutching his swollen face, crying out in pain!

The always doting mother, Huang Yue Shuang, was immediately distressed, holding Xiao Mingxuan with tears in her eyes: "Asura, how can you do this, Mingxuan is your own son, didn't he just fail once, do you need to hit him like this?"

"Fail once? This time the failure costs more than ten thousand times the usual failure!"

"Usually doesn't fail, drops the ball at critical moments!"

"Can't accomplish anything, total waste!"

Emperor Asura wanted to slap Xiao Mingxuan again to vent.

But seeing Huang Yue Shuang blocking in front of Xiao Mingxuan, refusing to move away no matter what, he could only take a deep breath, suppress his anger, and then commanded in a deep voice: "Tell me everything that happened at Wudang Mountain, don't miss a detail! I want to see which fearless guy dared to ruin my good deed!"

Xiao Mingxuan felt aggrieved, but Emperor Asura's command, he dared not disobey, he swallowed hard, and narrated everything that happened at Wudang Mountain in full detail!

Realizing the prodigy Xiao Mingxuan mentioned was actually Ye Huan, Emperor Asura instantly shouted with fury: "Ye Huan, you little bastard ruined my good deed again, I will tear you to pieces, make you wish you were dead, and teach you how to be a person!!!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingxuan was shocked: "Dad, you know Ye Huan..."

He hadn't even finished asking, Emperor Asura raised his hand.

"Slap!!!"

Taking advantage of Huang Yue Shuang's distraction, he slapped Xiao Mingxuan, venting his anger!

Xiao Mingxuan was caught off guard, his face swelling like a pig's head, crying out in pain!

"I am very aware of how monstrous Ye Huan is, the failure of this plan cannot be entirely blamed on you."

"The plan meticulously crafted by the Di Family was indeed flawless, extremely brilliant, but against this prodigy, even the most ingenious plan is useless, he is just too disruptive!"

"However, it is true that despite meticulous planning, no one expected Ye Huan, that little bastard, would suddenly participate in the Ancient Martial Medical Technique competition, disrupting our plan into a mess, it really is infuriating!"

Emperor Asura's eyes were filled with hatred. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

While saying this, recalling the scene in Sydney where he was defeated over a rank by Ye Huan, his broken spine throbbed with pain again.

Along with this incident, he truly hated Ye Huan with a passion, wishing to eliminate Ye Huan as soon as possible!

Upon hearing Emperor Asura's words, Xiao Mingxuan secretly sighed in relief, yet cursed internally.

The main responsibility was not on him, so he wasn't worried, just thinking he might get punished a bit!

But Emperor Asura said this only after slapping him, making it seem less like punishment and more like using him as a tool to vent his anger!

Xiao Mingxuan was extremely frustrated inside, but he dared not show it.

He secretly squeezed the hand of the iron-faced Huang Yue Shuang, subtly shaking his head, signaling her not to be angry about Emperor Asura's sneaky slap, after all, Emperor Asura is the head of the family, and he and his mother need Emperor Asura's consent to enter the Di Family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mingxuan tentatively asked: "Dad, the competition is over, shouldn't you divorce Xiao Yu and let my mom and me enter the Di Family?"

"Are you daydreaming in broad daylight?! The plan failed, you messed up, the Xiao Family's Divine Artifact wasn't obtained, Xiao Yu hasn't lost her usefulness, in this situation, you and your mom still want me to divorce Xiao Yu and let you into the Di Family? Why don't you just think about dying?!"

Emperor Asura's words were vicious, though he also knew that losing to Ye Huan was normal for Xiao Mingxuan, he was just unwilling to accept the failure of the plan and the collapse of his fantasies!

Moreover, unable to bother Ye Huan, he had to swallow this grievance!

This is why he lashed out, venting his anger on Xiao Mingxuan!

Xiao Mingxuan and Huang Yue Shuang's faces immediately turned very grim.

Among the two, Xiao Mingxuan's face was especially dark, anxious inside, thinking if his father's impression of him becomes that of a complete waste, his path back to the Di Family would be fraught with obstacles!

He gritted his teeth, deciding to reclaim his image!

"Dad, while the plan failed this time, my medical talent was recognized by countless people! My skills are not weak either! So, tell me, who broke your spine, I will personally avenge you!"
