"Ah, no..." Seeing her student about to be stabbed under the knife, Kalina covered her mouth and screamed in shock.

There were too many people at the scene, and fearing accidental injury, Wang Xiaoqiang could not use the Qi Guiding Technique. He could only shout "Stop!" and then dashed forward.

Although Li Wei's group faltered a bit, they were quick-witted. They scattered and ran away before the opponent's dagger could strike.

The scene turned chaotic.

Wang Xiaoqiang rushed to the bunch of hoodlums and used the Qi Guiding Technique, directing his fingers toward the daggers in their hands.

Just like the One Yang Finger in martial arts novels, as he pointed his finger, bang bang bang bang, the daggers fell to the ground.

However, during the pointing, Wang Xiaoqiang did not show any excessive movements, and since his Qi Guiding Technique was at the Hinayana Realm, he could freely control the spiritual energy he emitted. Thus, the Aura of Geng Metal was well controlled, appropriately knocking the daggers from their hands without harming them. After all, Wang Xiaoqiang had no grudges against these hoodlums. If it weren't for Li Wei and his classmates, he wouldn't bother with such matters.

"What the fuck..." Seeing the daggers inexplicably fall from their hands, the gang of hoodlums was stunned and stood frozen in place.

"Damn it, can't even hold onto your daggers, how are you supposed to roll with me?!" Brother Braid, upon seeing the daggers of his underlings on the ground, thought they had been frightened into dropping them by Wang Xiaoqiang, cursed while furiously smacking the heads and faces of his minions.

After finishing, his gaze fell on Wang Xiaoqiang. He said fiercely, "Fuck, another one, what, you dare meddle in Brother Braid's business... I think you're asking for trouble..."

Brother Braid, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was about the same age as Li Wei, and looked like either a student or a youngster fresh into society, assumed he was another naive kid. Naturally, he slapped toward Wang Xiaoqiang's head, but Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand to block it, the Aura of Geng Metal burst forth, immediately repelling Brother Braid's arm. Brother Braid clutched at his arm, howling in pain,

Brother Braid was an old hand in the Martial World and was often hanging around this area. He had a bunch of sworn brothers under him and even knew a big boss, so he was extremely arrogant. Of course, he was also a tough guy himself and knew some Muay Thai moves, but at that moment, he couldn't even get past one move from Wang Xiaoqiang.

Li Wei and his group hadn't run off directly but hid among the crowd to watch the situation unfold. When they saw Wang Xiaoqiang standing up for them, they inwardly cursed him as a fool. A wise man does not eat the loss before his eyes. We all ran, and yet you jumped out playing the hero. Isn't that asking for trouble?

However, after Wang Xiaoqiang intervened, not only was he not hurt, but the situation turned a bit eerie, with the opponent's knives unexpectedly falling to the ground. At that moment, Brother Braid in front of Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't even make a move. Seeing this, Li Wei and the others grew bold, jumped out again, and stood behind Wang Xiaoqiang, shouting, "Brother Qiang, give these scumbags a good beating, let's see if they still dare to act arrogant..."

"Fuck, just wait, I'll call some people to take care of you." Brother Braid, realizing Wang Xiaoqiang was tougher than him and unable to fight back, was now calling his boss.

"Alright, let's see who this little punk can call," Wang Xiaoqiang had yet to speak when Li Wei pointed at Brother Braid and started cursing. He had seen Kalina, Tang Mianmian, and Hua Lili approaching and deliberately tried to show off to prove his mettle. After all, Kalina and the two girls were not blind. How could they not see who was the coward and who was the real hero?

At that moment, the three women's attention was focused on Wang Xiaoqiang, their eyes gleaming with fervor, especially Kalina. She came to China precisely to witness Chinese Kung Fu. Although Wang Xiaoqiang and Brother Braid had only exchanged one move, she could already tell that Wang Xiaoqiang was skilled in Kung Fu. Of course, Hua Lili had also decided that she must travel to the United States with Wang Xiaoqiang. Having such a Kung Fu man by her side would make the journey much safer!

Wang Wei cursed at Brother Braid and then whispered to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Brother Qiang, let's get out of here. This big braided guy is Young Master Qiao's lackey. I'm afraid of the Qiao family..."

"Young Master Qiao, who is Young Master Qiao?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked loudly, not as cautious as Li Wei.

"Young Master Qiao is Brother Tian, the Qiao family's young master. Scared now, kid? No one in River City dares to cross Brother Tian in his territory... hmph, hmph... None of you are getting away today..." The braided guy brashly spoke, signaling his underlings with a glance. Immediately, those hoodlums spread out and formed an encirclement, trapping Wang Xiaoqiang and Li Wei's group.

Upon hearing Brother Braid's words and seeing the group of hoodlums trapping them, Li Wei's group was terrified, their legs shaking and teeth chattering. Who in River City doesn't know the Qiao family? Qiao Ronghu, the biggest boss of the Underground World, and Qiao Xiaotian, Qiao Ronghu's son, known as Brother Tian. This braided guy actually knew Brother Tian; they were screwed tonight. Focal Disco belonged to the Qiao family, and it was said that even the police rarely visited this place. If Qiao Xiaotian came, even if they were disabled, they would just have to swallow their bitter medicine silently. The Qiao family's influence extended everywhere, who could afford to offend them?

"Brother Qiang, what do we do?" Li Wei asked, his teeth still chattering.

Wang Xiaoqiang was also worried that Li Wei and the others would be scared witless, so he just laughed it off, "Big braided guy, you're talking about Qiao Xiaotian, right? Alright, I'll wait here tonight for Qiao Xiaotian to deal with me,"

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he brushed past Brother Braid and then walked back to the original table, leisurely sipping his drink. He waved over to Kalina and the three women,

Seeing this, Brother Braid and his gang also felt it was odd, thinking to themselves that this kid had guts, not even afraid of Brother Tian. However, they wondered how long this naive guy could last. Once Brother Tian arrived, he would inevitably be beaten into calling him 'Grandpa.'

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang in such a relaxed state, Li Wei and his group also walked back to the table and sat down to drink.

However, they were not as relaxed as Wang Xiaoqiang, feeling very uneasy inside.

When someone caused a disturbance, the patrons in the disco scattered.

Ten minutes later, a large group of people burst into the disco. Leading them was a young man in a floral shirt, wearing sunglasses and chewing gum. While walking, he angrily shouted, "Who the fuck is causing trouble on my turf..."

When Brother Braid saw Qiao Xiaotian arrive, he felt emboldened and looked viciously delighted at Wang Xiaoqiang. Like a sycophantic dog, he approached Qiao Xiaotian, "Brother Tian, it was that bunch of kids acting rowdy in the disco... They even touched my girl...

Qiao Xiaotian followed where Brother Braid was pointing, glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang's group, and on seeing it was Wang Xiaoqiang, his heart sank. He immediately removed his sunglasses to look again. It was still Wang Xiaoqiang. His heart pounded as he rubbed his eyes and looked again when Wang Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Young Master Qiao, long time no see, huh..."

Qiao Xiaotian's legs shook and he nearly fell to his knees.

Yet there was Brother Braid yelling at Wang Xiaoqiang, "See! You better come over here and kneel down to apologize to Brother Tian. Maybe he will be in a good mood and let you off the hook..."

He hadn't finished his sentence when he was suddenly struck hard. Qiao Xiaotian landed a hook on Brother Braid's abdomen, causing him to curl up. Qiao Xiaotian didn't stop there and continued pummeling him with punches and kicks while cursing, "I'll beat you to death, you blind dog..."

"Brother Tian, it's me, Braid! It's one of us—why are you hitting your own people..." Brother Braid thought Qiao Xiaotian was too drunk to recognize friend from foe and cried out in grievance. The surrounding gang members found it strange but dared not intervene.

Li Wei and his group, including Kalina and the two girls, saw this and strange smiles appeared on their faces, while internally they guessed that Wang Xiaoqiang was so powerful that even this well-known figure in the underground world held him in awe.

Sure enough, Qiao Xiaotian, while hitting, answered Brother Braid, "Fuck, you can't even recognize Brother Qiang. What use are your eyes for? Might as well scoop them out and feed to the dogs..."

Brother Qiang?!

Brother Braid and the gang were immediately filled with doubts, wondering how they had never heard of such a character named Brother Qiang even on TV, let alone someone in River City more formidable than Brother Tian!

By now, Li Wei and his group were also staring at Wang Xiaoqiang in disbelief. Could it be that the young man attending classes with them was a major boss in the martial world, even more powerful than Qiao Xiaotian?! Recalling how they mocked him at the birthday party, their legs shook with fear again.

Meanwhile, Kalina and the two girls began to see Wang Xiaoqiang in a new light, their looks becoming heated with a trace of awe. This young man, who sat with them in class, seemed increasingly mysterious and inscrutable.

Qiao Xiaotian beat Brother Braid to within an inch of his life before running over to Wang Xiaoqiang like a servile servant, nervously and with a flattering smile said, "Brother Qiang, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect your esteemed visit might cause some blind folks to offend you. I'll definitely teach them a lesson later. Brother Qiang, about this matter..."

"Qiao Xiaotian, how come I heard you cursing someone as soon as you entered? Who were you cursing?" Wang Xiaoqiang already disliked Qiao Xiaotian due to a previous incident in Macau, which could have ruined the Qiao Family because of him.

"I, I deserve to die, I..." Qiao Xiaotian slapped his own face.

This was the first time Qiao Xiaotian had ever slapped himself in front of others, shocking his subordinates. What was the background of this man that could make Brother Tian slap his own face?!

"Alright, Qiao Xiaotian, I am not an unreasonable person, so let me make this clear, it was that big-haired guy who caused the trouble here, then he falsely accused my friends. Do you think he deserves to die? But don't be too harsh on them, just have them behave themselves in the future, and make them recognize who my friends are. They'd better be careful around them; otherwise, if they offend again, next time I'll handle it myself…

On hearing this, Qiao Xiaotian shivered involuntarily, recalling the incident at the Emperor's Hall. If Wang Xiaoqiang took action, he figured there wouldn't be much of Brother Braid's gang left. He nodded heavily...

"Yes, yes, Brother Qiang is indeed magnanimous. I'll definitely teach them a severe lesson. Don't worry, Brother Qiang, it won't happen again..."

"Alright, let's go..." Wang Xiaoqiang stood up and said to the American teacher, "Kalina, I'm truly sorry. It was supposed to be a celebration for your birthday, and yet such an unpleasant incident occurred..."

"It's okay," Kalina waved her hand, indicating it was no problem.

Realizing that Wang Xiaoqiang had come to celebrate the birthday of an American woman, Qiao Xiaotian saw Wang Xiaoqiang preparing to leave and immediately stood up. "Brother Qiang, I'm really sorry for dampening your spirits, the service today is free of charge... Oh right, Brother Qiang, I own Little Nocturne Bar nearby. Why don't you move the party there, all expenses covered..."

On hearing Qiao Xiaotian's offer, Wang Xiaoqiang turned his gaze to Kalina. After all, she was the birthday girl, so they would respect her decision. Kalina consulted with the two girls, who naturally wanted more time to figure out Wang Xiaoqiang's mystique, so they all agreed to the bar trip. Li Wei and his group shared the girls' sentiments. Seeing this, Kalina nodded at Wang Xiaoqiang to signal her agreement.

Seeing that the group wanted to continue the fun, Wang Xiaoqiang then said to Qiao Xiaotian, "Alright, let's head there now..."

"Hey, hey, let me accompany you personally?" Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang giving him face, Qiao Xiaotian eagerly offered to come along.

However, before he could tag along, Wang Xiaoqiang dismissed him with a glance... "You don't need to come, just make a call!" (To be continued.
