Fang Xian looked around and saw many races he was seeing for the first time.
The dwarves were the most distinctive: short, stocky, and muscular.
They had broad faces with well-defined features, thick chins, and round, bright eyes.
They had thick hair of various colors, bushy beards, and exuded a strong, masculine aura.
They were almost all warriors; there were no mages among them.
…
The earth elves were about the same height as the dwarves.
They were also relatively short and stocky, with dark brown or tan skin.
Their hair was mostly dark, coarse in texture, and generally fell loosely over their shoulders.
The earth elves had strong, angular features and small eyes.
Their ears were not pointed like those of other elves; they were rather ordinary.
They were the darlings of the earth element; most were mages, and a few were warriors.
...
Unlike the earth spirits, water spirits are all tall and slender, lacking overly muscular lines, possessing instead a soft, graceful beauty.
Their skin is fair, supple, and lustrous.
Their hair is mostly aquamarine or light blue, long, smooth, and flowing.
Their eyes are large and bright, their noses small and straight, their lips thin and red, their features gentle, giving them a warm and approachable appearance.
They are geniuses among water magicians, mostly magicians or archers.
...
Music spirits share similarities with water spirits, both being tall and slender.
Their skin is as pure as moonlight, radiating a soft glow.
They all have golden or silver hair, and long, pointed ears.
Behind them are a pair of delicate, transparent wings like dragonflies; with the slightest movement, they emit colorful musical notes.
They possess high spiritual power, primarily as priests, with a minority being magicians.
...
The Flower Fairy Clan resembled fairies emerging from a flower garden; their skin was delicate, smooth, and exquisite.
Especially their large, bright, and clear eyes.
Their ears were small and delicate, shaped like flower petals with graceful curves.
Their clothing was primarily made of soft flower petals and tender leaves, vibrant in color, light and flowing.
They were mostly magicians or priests.
The remaining races included the Rabbit Fairy Clan, the Fish-Man Clan, and others.
When they saw Julius arrive with Fang Xian, they all scrutinized him.
The Earth Elf leader, seeing this, spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"The Cat Fairy Clan chose this mere boy? And a human at that?"
The Dwarf Clan leader stared at Fang Xian with great displeasure, stating bluntly:
"He looks like a boy in his early twenties. What makes him worthy of being the leader of your Cat Fairy Clan? I am very dissatisfied."
The Flower Fairy Clan leader gazed at Fang Xian seductively, giving him a flirtatious wink.
"Young man, you're quite handsome. I wonder how strong you are?"
The water spirit leader narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Fang Xian.
"I believe the cat demon clan must have their reasons for doing this. Why don't we hear what they have to say?"
The music spirit leader, with a friendly smile, echoed.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't rush things. We can't afford to lose our composure,"
Fang Xian could tell from their words that they were very dissatisfied with the cat demon clan's decision to change their leader at the last minute.
They also had many opinions about Fang Xian, this young human.
Fang Xian's solution to this problem was simple: reveal his true abilities, and they would shut up, even submit.
However, Fang Xian didn't know if there were traitors among them. Prematurely revealing his plan would endanger everyone.
But in this world where martial prowess reigns supreme, it's difficult to gain respect without demonstrating some strength.
After much thought, Fang Xian decided that revealing a bit of his strength would prevent them from interfering with his plans.
He smiled slightly, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Everyone, I am the son-in-law of the Cat Demon Clan. There's no problem with me being the leader of the Cat Demon Clan."
The Water Elf leader nodded slightly, looking at Fang Xian as she spoke slowly.
"Clan Chief Fang, this is originally your internal matter, and we shouldn't interfere. But with a great battle imminent, there must be a reason for changing leaders so quickly, right?"
"The reason is simple: I am powerful enough to resolve this crisis without bloodshed."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
"Bang!"
The dwarf chieftain slammed his fist on the table, shouting angrily.
"Insolent! Who here isn't your senior? Who isn't stronger than you?"
"You even dare to claim you can resolve this crisis without bloodshed? Utterly boastful!"
The earth elf chieftain glared at Fang Xian, his eyes bulging.
He couldn't stand arrogant people the most. He hadn't expected the cat demon clan's new leader to be not only a greenhorn but also a braggart, constantly provoking him.
"You brat, you're incredibly arrogant! How could the cat demon clan choose a mere child as their leader? You're hopeless!"
"Or...is it that your cat demon clan doesn't want to participate in this battle and is deliberately sending a little brat to his death?"
Everyone looked at Julid with suspicion.
The dwarf chieftain stared at Julid, his tone unfriendly.
"Julid, is that really true?"
Everyone knew that Julid had recommended Fang Xian to be the cat demon clan leader, so it was normal for others to doubt him.
He was about to explain when Fang Xian stopped him.
Fang Xian smiled at the assembled leaders.
"I've said it before, my strength is enough to win without bloodshed. If you have any objections, feel free to speak to me."
"I'll teach you a lesson on what
absolute strength truly means."
"Insolence!"
The dwarf leader, known for his straightforwardness and fiery temper, immediately slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide.
"I'll teach you a lesson, you ignorant brat!"
He jumped onto the round table, clenching his fist.
"You brat, are you ready?"
Fang Xian slightly raised his chin, smiling contemptuously.
"Ready? That's unnecessary."
The dwarf leader's forehead veins bulged, he was furious.
"You—you're asking for death!"
He roared, taking a leap forward, his entire body hurtling towards Fang Xian like a cannonball.
"Explosive Fist!"
Seeing the dwarf chieftain unleash his ultimate attack right from the start, everyone knew things were going badly.
The dwarf chieftain was a level 910 Awakened One; if that punch landed on Fang Xian, it would instantly reduce Fang Xian's health to zero.
They wanted to shout "Hold back!" but it was too late.
The distance was too close, and the dwarf chieftain was attacking in a rage; Fang Xian was doomed.
Fang Xian remained unfazed, his eyes narrowing as he unleashed a "Soul Attack."
"Bang!"
The dwarf chieftain instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Everyone present froze, staring dumbfounded at the spot where their dwarf chieftain had exploded, muttering to themselves.
"Dead?"
"Just like that, dead?"
They all looked at Fang Xian in horror, only to see him acting as if it were none of his business, scoffing:
"Hey, this dwarf chieftain's interesting. His 'Exploding Fist' ended up exploding himself. Truly unpredictable."
He glanced around, his eyes filled with disdain.
"By the way, you all, want to come at me all at once?"
"I promise, I'll make you experience
the feeling of being instantly killed."
