Whoosh, boom, ha!
Despite the heavy snow falling from the sky, the movements of his punches still produced a series of whistling sounds, and steam even emanated from Xiao Chen's body.
This was the cultivation method for the Iron Armor Technique. After practicing it several times, Xiao Chen put on his clothes. At this moment, with just a thought, Xiao Chen saw his body turn silver-white. This was the symbol of reaching the minor success of the Iron Armor Technique. Black symbolized entry, silver the minor success, red the major success, and gold the perfection.
Although Xiao Chen was exceptionally talented, he couldn't master the Iron Armor Technique after only a few repetitions.
That wouldn't be considered exceptional talent, but rather monster.
After mastering the Iron Armor Technique to its peak, Xiao Chen took out a low-grade yellow-rank longsword from his Creation Ring and began practicing the Draw Sword Slash.
Although it's called the "Draw Sword Slash," it can also be practiced with a longsword. Swords and sabers are essentially the same thing, existing for a certain purpose.
All we could see was Xiao Chen putting the longsword into its sheath, then taking a deep breath and gripping the hilt tightly.
With a whoosh, he drew his sword, then within a fraction of a second sliced a snowflake in two before sheathing it.
"Again!"
Dissatisfied with the results, Xiao Chen continued his cultivation in the icy and snowy landscape.
Meanwhile, in room 2301, Wang Ba, wielding a large cleaver, had already arrived menacingly at Xiao Chen's door. He raised his foot and kicked at Xiao Chen's door, but after a moment, Wang Ba froze on the spot, hugged himself, and let out a painful scream.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
How could someone's door be so hard? Wang Ba had once kicked a stone pillar, and the pain he felt back then was just like the pain he felt today. Thinking of this, Wang Ba began to knock on the door.
"Open the door, I need to talk to you!"
"Open the door, I know you're in there."
"Brother Xiao Chen, please open the door."
Meanwhile, Luo Bing, Luo Jie, and the other residents on the 20th floor across the street also heard the knocking, but after seeing the large cleaver in Wang Ba's hand, they wisely refrained from coming out to join the fun.
Furthermore, there was even blood on Wang Ba's large cleaver, indicating that he had probably just been bleeding. Moreover, they didn't seem to care much about Xiao Chen, and even with so much food, they weren't willing to help him out.
You should know that if Xiao Chen does this, he will receive their praise and become the benefactor of everyone in the five buildings.
They just didn't expect that if they were Xiao Chen, they would never hand over so much food.
Wang Ba had no idea that Xiao Chen wasn't home at all. Xiao Chen was on the rooftop, practicing his sword-drawing technique in the heavy snow. Although the door was locked when he came up, these problems were no problem for Xiao Chen. He simply cleared all the snow off the rooftop with a small red stone in the center of the rooftop.
That small red stone is called Red Stone. It only needs a little spiritual energy to emit heat and melt the surrounding ice and snow.
As Xiao Chen's movements became increasingly unclear, his sword-drawing slash officially marked the completion of his minor mastery of the technique.
"It's time to go back."
Xiao Chen easily retrieved the red stone, then put on his clothes and went downstairs.
However, after entering the building, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had heard something and walked towards his apartment with a cold smile.
"Phew, I'm exhausted. Did Xiao Chen put on his headphones to sleep? Why can't he hear me?"
After knocking on the door for twenty-five minutes, Wang Ba finally realized that Xiao Chen probably didn't want to talk to him. Thinking of this, Wang Ba sneered.
"Alright, alright, you forced me to do this. Just don't say I'm too cruel later."
After saying this, Wang Ba turned around to go back to his place, but then he heard a voice.
"Oh, did I force you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba suddenly turned around and saw Xiao Chen leaning against the wall, looking at him coldly, seemingly not taking him seriously.
Wang Ba ignored Xiao Chen's words and instead sneered.
"Oh, you're not home. Open the door right now and let me in, or my big knife won't be so merciless."
Faced with Wang Ba's threat, Xiao Chen remained unfazed and instead straightened up to ask again.
"Did I force you?"
"court death!"
Wang Ba snorted coldly, clearly believing that Xiao Chen wanted to suffer a bit before he would back down.
He then swung his large cleaver at Xiao Chen. If it weren't for the other neighbors who had witnessed this, Xiao Chen would have already subdued him using his martial arts skills.
However, if he used martial arts skills, the other neighbors probably wouldn't dare to come to his house to cause trouble, and he wouldn't be able to kill them with a clear conscience.
Although he didn't use any martial arts techniques, Xiao Chen's current situation is still beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
All I saw was Wang Ba swinging his broadsword toward Xiao Chen's arm, not aiming for vital organs. If he really killed Xiao Chen with one blow, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to get in.
Just as the large cleaver was about to strike Xiao Chen's arm, Xiao Chen finally moved.
Xiao Chen dodged the large cleaver with a sidestep, then grabbed Wang Ba's hand holding the cleaver and snatched it away with a slight force. Before Wang Ba could react, Xiao Chen stabbed him in the waist.
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, happening in the blink of an eye, in less than a second. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "Thai hot."
Wang Ba had a sinister smile on his face, but a moment later he felt a sharp pain sweep over his entire body.
"Ahhh! How did you do that?"
Wang Ba fell to the ground, letting out a painful howl, his face filled with disbelief. How could anyone possibly have taken his knife?
"I don't think I should explain this to you. Consider this strike as my punishment for you. If you do it again, I will kill you without mercy."
Xiao Chen kicked Wang Ba away expressionlessly. It wasn't that Xiao Chen wanted to kick Wang Ba away, but Wang Ba was blocking his front door and preventing him from going in.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen open the door, the warmth emanating from it filled Wang Ba with longing, and he struggled to rush towards Xiao Chen's house.
However, Xiao Chen kicked him away again.
They could only watch helplessly as the gate closed.
Once again, it was shut out of the cold winter.
