Kurik warriors surrounded the minibus, demanding the handover of Huaxia passengers accused of supporting their rival Kuer Clan, fueled by rumors from a white woman. Tension mounted as the battle-ready tribesmen refused to back down, prepared for bloodshed amid the clans' boiling animosity over land. Bai Xiaosheng, fluent in their language and aware of their code of honor, stepped off the bus to confront the young leader directly.

Thus, Bai Xiaosheng was determined to head to the meeting solo.

Stepping out of the vehicle, Bai Xiaosheng confronted the Kurik warriors who glared at him ferociously, staying utterly composed.

The young leader from their earlier talk strode boldly toward Bai Xiaosheng, his eyes burning with malice as he closed in.

Bai Xiaosheng held his gaze steadily, showing no fear or agitation.

For a few tense seconds, their stares locked in confrontation.

The young leader gave a subtle nod to Bai Xiaosheng, apparently recognizing his bravery to a certain degree.

"You’re no Kuer, not a real foe to us Kurik folk, but if you’ve uttered forbidden words, punishment awaits!" the young leader declared icily to Bai Xiaosheng.

"Step up, face one of my warriors in single combat. I promise mere pain, no death for you, Huaxia man!" he added coldly.

Bai Xiaosheng realized they hadn’t caught wind of anyone backing the Kuers and simply aimed to discipline an outsider like him.

"May I see your clan leader? I’ve got a fix for your troubles with the Kuer people," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

His words made the leader furrow his brow, scanning Bai Xiaosheng from head to toe in disbelief, his gaze plainly questioning: You, really?

Bai Xiaosheng quickly followed up, "I wish to take on your ’Warrior’s Proof’."

At those words, the leader’s eyes narrowed faintly, staring at Bai Xiaosheng in utter disbelief. He wasn’t shocked that this Huaxia man knew their traditions, but rather that the "Warrior’s Proof" demanded a duel with the tribe’s boldest fighter. Victory granted an audience with the clan leader and a wolf tooth necklace.

This pale, delicate-looking Huaxia guy seeking the challenge? What a ridiculous notion!

Yet, the man showed no sign of fooling around.

"You certain?" the young leader demanded coldly. "Fighting a regular warrior of mine leaves you with bruises and cuts, but this trial? It’ll be tenfold harsher!"

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with poise, "I take on the challenge!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s persistence stemmed from wanting to gain respect and reach the clan leader, securing at least basic safeguards—even if his ideas got rejected, shielding him from more harassment.

The young leader nodded upon hearing this and turned to depart.

Just as Bai Xiaosheng expected him to summon the Kurik clan’s mightiest warrior, the leader abruptly raised his spear and slammed it into the earth. Then, shedding his coat, he unveiled muscles forged like dark steel.

All others there went bare-chested, but this one donned a cape-like jacket marking his rank. None had anticipated such powerful build hidden beneath.

Right then, he looked like a honed edge, an flawless masterpiece that inspired admiration.

The nearby Kurik tribesfolk witnessed it, their eyes blazing like fire. Spears thrust skyward, they unleashed thunderous "Hoo-ha, hoo-ha" cries, growing ever louder, nearly splitting eardrums.

Inside the minibus, onlookers peered through the glass at the spectacle, faces twisting in alarm.

"Are they gearing up for battle?"

"Will they assault Mr. Bai?"

"Heavens, how did things escalate like this!"

Shocked gasps erupted from many.

The guarding soldiers paled, grabbing rifles to charge out instantly. Protecting these prized visitors from danger was their solemn charge.

Any mishap would spell dire consequences for them!

Yet before hitting the door, a figure towering like half a Hei Ta blocked their path.

It was Lei Ying.

Lei Ying extended an arm to halt them, booming in English, "No one leaves this vehicle!"

One among them jabbed a finger outward, exclaiming in panicked English, "But that gentleman..."

Lei Ying stated firmly, "It’s his choice! I’m here to stop any meddling in his choice!"

Faced with Lei Ying’s unyielding resolve, the soldiers stood powerless, forced to watch from afar.

Now, Bai Xiaosheng squared off against the bare-torsoed figure, radiating menace like a weapon come alive.

Confronted by this, Bai Xiaosheng grasped the truth.

This man was the Kurik clan’s ultimate warrior!

"Bring it! I’ll do my utmost to keep you breathing!" the young leader snarled coldly, delivering what felt like a death sentence to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng sized up his foe as Red Lotus quietly assessed the rival’s height, weight, vitality, swiftness, and every key detail.

Through years of relentless training alongside Lei Ying, Bai Xiaosheng’s body had transformed far beyond its former state. Still, matching this adversary remained a distant goal.

Facing this young warrior, Bai Xiaosheng required faster speed and superior technique, denying the opponent any opportunity to fight back!

Red Lotus’s advice aligned perfectly with Bai Xiaosheng’s own assessment.

Bai Xiaosheng held off from charging ahead, instead loosening up his wrists and ankles, while covertly directing Red Lotus to surge his adrenaline and hormones, channeling his hidden strength in that instant.

The young warrior observed all of Bai Xiaosheng’s preparations in silence, carrying a hint of contempt in his heart. He was, after all, the strongest fighter in the Kurik clan, capable of taking down four or five elite soldiers by himself with total ease and no strain whatsoever. This pale-skinned Huaxia fellow truly didn’t know the heights of the heavens.
