Zhang Tie indeed had heard about some wedding customs in some regions of Taixia Country. In some regions, when a son-in-law proposed marriage in the femaleâs house, the femaleâs family members would find him troubles. Take these knights from Lord Guangnanâs Mansion as an instance, although they were blocking Zhang Tieâs door, they were never malicious. They might have long heard about Zhang Tie and couldnât help but âtestâ Zhang Tieâs ability out of curiosity.
The knights of Lord Guangnanâs Mansion had already treated Zhang Tie as their brotherâs son-in-law, which made Bai Suxian happy and a bit coy. However, when these guys wanted to make Zhang Tie embarrassed, Bai Suxian became a bit unhappy as she was worried that Zhang Tie would be infuriated. Therefore, she could only throw a glance at Zhang Tie carefully.
If they were ordinary ones, Bai Suxian had long reproached them; however, they were all Lord Guangnanâs myrmidons, who saw Bai Suxian growing up since she was young. They were like Bai Suxianâs uncles. Bai Suxian really didnât know what to say.
Zhang Tie smiled at Bai Suxian as he comforted her that he was not that narrow-minded.
âNow that elder brothers would like to be intimate with me, please ask questions. If I could, I would answer you; if I cannot, I will admit that Iâm a loser. After all, weâre of the same family. Itâs just a game; never mind it!â Zhang Tie burst out into laughter brightly and clearly.
After hearing Zhang Tieâs words, all the knights at the entrance of the airboat exchanged a glance with each other as Zhang Tie left a good impression in their mind. They spoke highly of Zhang Tie inside, âWhat a Qianji Hermit! His easy-going personality is indeed unusual. No wonder, he could win the favor of the âmagic womanâ of Lord Guangnanâs Mansion.
âFine, frank guy!â The bald-headed silly guy patted his own thigh forcefully, causing the fat of the half of his body to quiver. He watched Zhang Tie as he said heroically, âWhen our brotherâs son-in-law propose marriage in the femaleâs house, he should pass three tests: first, a test on culture; second, a test on battle strength; third, a test on drinking capacity. When you went to Xuanyuan Hill, you detoxicated Old Zhongâs poison. Old Zhong was so excited when he mentioned it to us. We are convinced by your culture. You passed the first test. Therefore, you only need to match battle strength and drinking ability with us today...â
âHow?â Zhang Tie asked with a smile.
âAs weâre all knights, if we fought, we might be injured more or less. Letâs make it easier, just match strength. Attention! strength, not battle qi. Iâm standing here. If you could push me away, you will win...â The bald-headed silly guy continued.
âNo, Uncle Meng, you shouldnât bully him in this way...â Bai Suxian hurriedly refused it for Zhang Tie before Zhang Tie expressed his opinion. Widely opening her eyes and pouting her mouth, Bai Suxian watched that silly guy as she added, âUncle Meng, youâre born to have great strength. Additionally, youâre cultivating a count-level âSky-Supporting Sutraâ. âSky-Supporting Sutraâ could increase peopleâs strength most among all the cultivation methods that could help people promote to knights. Uncle Meng has promoted to an earth knight for over 3 decades; however, Zhang Tie has just promoted to an earth knight for a few years. Furthermore, Uncle Meng awakened the Fantasy-level Ancestral Wuding Bloodline of Meng Clan last year; you could even able to split open a mountain. Nobody else in Lord Guangnanâs Mansion could have greater strength than you. Even my dad said that you had the greatest strength in Lord Guangnanâs Mansion. If you match Zhang Tie on strength, itâs nothing different than bullying him. I donât agree with that. Change one...â
âErm...â Watching Bai Suxian pouting her mouth, the bald-headed silly guy felt a bit bashful. Touching his bald head, he turned around and looked at the other guys. Watching him turning around his head, Bai Suxian immediately understood it that this opinion on matching strength was worked out by them together. Although Zhang Tie was the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan, these myrmidons of Lord Guangnanâs Mansion would like to have Zhang Tie understand their high positions in Lord Guangnanâs Mansion; therefore, they chose such a program which they believed that âthey would never loseâ to frighten Zhang Tie to a certain degree. If Zhang Tie lost the match only in strength, he didnât lose his face too much; because knightâ battle strength included more than just strength.
âWell, if uncles bully me, when I return to the Mansion, I will speak ill of you in front of my aunts; especially Uncle Meng. I will tell the aunt that youâve fallen in love with another female knight here!â
After hearing that Bai Suxian was going to speak ill of him in front of his wife, the silly bald-headed guy immediately changed his face as he hurriedly waved his hand and said, âLittle princess, you cannot do that. If your aunt fell for your words, I would have big trouble. She would peel off my skin...â
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter at once as he had not imagined that an earth knight could be so afraid of his wife, âWell, Suxian, itâs fine. Itâs just a match on strength. I donât care even if I lose it. Just have a try...â
âBut...â
Bai Suxian still wanted to say something. However, Zhang Tie blinked his eyes to her. Bai Suxian then closed her mouth at once.
After hearing that Zhang Tie agreed to match strength with him, the silly guy hurriedly lowered his body as he put his arms forward horizontally, facing Zhang Tie with his palms. At the same time, he said, âAs long as you could push me backward one step, youâre the winner. Donât worry. This Old Meng will not hurt you. I will at most use 70% of my full strength. If you couldnât move me for one time, you could try some more times...â
After saying that, the silly guyâs muscles bulged like a weird boa. At the same time, his body sounded like beating a drum from inside. As his qi and blood boiled, his body steamed, which indicated that he had exerted his strength to the extreme.
Zhang Tie watched him with interest. To be honest, this earth knight from Lord Guangnanâs Mansion was indeed the most powerful earth knight that Zhang Tie had ever seen. However, even so, his strength was still not on the same scale with Zhang Tie. âBai Suxian didnât know that âKing Roc Sutraâ could increase more strength than âSky-Supporting Sutraâ did. Although Iâm not born with an unusual strength, my 7 strengths have reached an unimaginable level after I took so many seven-strength fruits. Additionally, source fruits could not only enhance my vital essence but also increase my strength, not to mention so many fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs that I ate these days...â
âAre you ready?â Zhang Tie walked over there casually. After seeing the firm, the plain metal wall inside airboat 7-8 m behind that silly guy, Zhang Tie became reassured.
âCome on...â The silly guy said while exhaling.
Standing in front of him, Zhang Tie put his palms against the silly guyâs palms. After seeing Zhang Tieâs arrogant deed, the silly guy and all the other onlookers looked a bit angry at once; however, their indignation soon flashed by. Soon after having a good impression of Zhang Tie, they had felt that Zhang Tie was pretty presumptuous. However, they still doubted that Qianji Hermit wanted to admit defeat in such a manner.
Whereas, the silly guy didnât know that Zhang Tie used 2 hands given his face. Zhang Tie was actually worried about that the hand of this silly guy was shattered because of uneven force.
âAre you ready, one, two, three...â Zhang Tie opened his mouth...
Soon after Zhang Tieâs words, with a sound of âbang...â, the silly guy had been sent flying into the airboat and hit onto the metal wall before sliding off...
Everybody became stunned, including Bai Suxian, except for Zhang Tie who still maintained his smile.
âOld Meng, even though youâre afraid of being beaten by your tigress at home, you donât need to behave in such a poor way. Thatâs too ridiculous. Holy sh*t! This father has known you for 5-6 decades. When did you start to show the white feather in such a manner? When did your deadhead become enlightened...â Another knight couldnât help but exclaim soon after the silly guy picked himself up.
Of course, the others thought Old Meng did that on purpose; there were no other possibilities. Because of the following 2 reasons: first, Zhang Tie had not triggered his battle qi; second, he didnât use too much strength at all. However, Old Meng was sent flying backward. Evidently, Old Meng intended to show his weakness.
The silly guy shook his head as he roared. Closely after that, he tore apart his boa silk robe regardless of the othersâ irony, exposing his muscled upper body. After that, he rushed towards Zhang Tie once again. This time, he made a pose by bending his legs in a heavier way; meanwhile, his upper body slightly inclined forward as his body steamed and the blood vessels in his hands and neck undulated like boas. After that, he said, âIâve not used my full strength, one more time...â
Zhang Tie smiled. Like how he did just now, he put his hands against the palms of this silly guy once again as he said, âReady? One, two, three...â
Just like before, soon after Zhang Tie finished his words, the silly guy had been sent flying backward and hit on the same metal wall before sliding off, causing another bang.
This time, all the onlookers had seen it clearly. Soon after Zhang Tie finished the word âthreeâ, he had pushed forward while straightening up his arms. At the same time, Old Meng was sent flying backward without any resistance like an ox being collided by a train.
This time, a part of the metal wall sunk inside.
After picking himself up, Old Meng shook his head as if he still didnât believe that he could be sent flying backward by Zhang Tieâs hands which looked âweakâ. Therefore, he rushed towards Zhang Tie and made a pose for the 3rd time as he shouted, âOne more time...â
At this moment, two other earth knights exchanged a glance with each other before jumping out of the crowd and coming to the back of that silly guy. Closely after that, they both made a pose as they put their arms straightly on the silly guyâs shoulders. Being as wide as the gate of a warehouse, the silly guyâs shoulders could easily hold 4 palms at the same time.
âOne, two, three...â
âBang...â
Undoubtedly, soon after the word âthreeâ, the 3 earth knights had been sent flying backward and hit onto the metal wall behind them.
All the onlookers were dumbfounded by Zhang Tieâs superhuman strength. âHow could a person send 3 earth knights flying backward so easily? What a terrifying strength does Zhang Tie have? Given Zhang Tieâs look, heâs not used his full strength at all.â
âSuperhuman strength...real superhuman strength...this Old Meng is conquered...â The silly guy said with full of admiration as he cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie when he picked himself up once again. The other two earth knights also cupped their hands towards Zhang Tie with an admiring look. All the knights at present realized that Zhang Tie had a terrifying, great strength in close combat even though he didnât release his battle qi. He could even tear apart steel by hand. They really wondered how did Zhang Tie practice his strength.
Bai Suxian watched Zhang Tie with a blush in an adoring look. Although Zhang Tie was the winner, it seemed that she was happier than Zhang Tie. Such a pure wrestle on masculinity and strength was convincing to her.
âHahaha, Qianji Hermit really excels at culture and combat. Suxianâs insight is sharp...â A gentle and noble middle-aged man with a long beard walked out of the tunnel from the back of the entrance with his candid smile.
â2nd master!â
â2nd uncle!â
Soon after this middle-aged man appeared, Bai Suxian and the other knights at the entrance hurriedly greeted him. After knowing his identity, Zhang Tie also greeted him politely.
After looking at Zhang Tie from his head to his toe, that person nodded towards Zhang Tie with a smile. Closely after that, he turned around and watched that silly guy and the onlooking knights, âDo you admit defeat now?â
âWe admit defeat!â All the myrmidons of Lord Guangnanâs Mansion nodded as they replied because Zhang Tieâs strength was really great enough to win peopleâs admiration.
âNow that youâve admitted defeat, come in; Iâve had people prepare well the banquet. If you couldnât even match his drinking capability, donât blame me for flogging you with the bamboo!â
âHahaha, 2nd master really cares about our faces...â The silly guy surnamed Meng smirked as he touched his bald head once again as if he didnât care about the result of the test at all.
âPlease...â Bai Suxianâs 2nd master made a gesture to invite Zhang Tie in as if he treated the latter as a VIP of Lord Guangnanâs Mansion instead of the ordinary elder brotherâs son-in-law.
â2nd uncle first!â Zhang Tie replied modestly with a smile.
Bai Suxianâs 2nd uncle nodded as he burst out into laughter. At the same time, he walked into the airboat together with Zhang Tie arm in arm...
