Stifling the fire within their hearts, everyone around Xu Yangyi was even more respectful.

“Do you have a gun?” Xu Yangyi suddenly asked.

“I… I-I do…” Li Zongyuan’s voice fluttered. He still hadn’t regained his bearings from his prior shock. From what outsiders could see, Xu Yangyi was testing the power of the middle stage, however, it wasn’t just this alone. Xu Yangyi was also reminding him not to make any dirty moves, otherwise, he would come to an end!

Xu Yangyi pointed at him. “Come.”

Resisting a gun was already enough to state that he had taken the initial step into the immortal path.

Xu Yangyi calmly held the bullet. In his heart, a quiet sigh of emotion bubbled in his mind. The middle stage… He was finally at the middle stage.

At eight, he entered Heavens Law. At thirteen, he began drawing qi into the body. At twenty-one, he tried assailing the middle stage for the first time but was unexpectedly obstructed. Three years later, he attacked once again, breaking through in one go.
