The training ground had gone from chaotic to silent, as if the entire sect was holding its breath. The disciples gathered in a circle, staring at Xiao Fan as if he'd grown a third arm.
The slap he'd delivered to Young Master Zhang had sent shockwaves through the Outer Sect like a bomb, and now, everyone waited for the next move.
Xiao Fan couldn't care less about the gazes upon him. With the power of the Slap Dao System, every arrogant face in the sect was his for the slapping. But today, he had a bigger fish to fry.
The sect's Inner Disciple, Li Yun—a rising star, a genius—was here.
Li Yun had cultivated for years, reaching the peak of Qi Gathering, and was considered the next in line to be one of the Sect Elders. His arrogance was unrivaled. He often mocked the Outer Sect disciples, calling them "cannon fodder" for the Inner Sect's training.
But Xiao Fan wasn't a "cannon fodder" anymore.
Li Yun was currently training on the highest platform of the sect grounds, surrounded by a crowd of disciples who seemed to worship him. The golden aura around him made it look like he was a god.
Xiao Fan couldn't let this disrespect slide. This was his chance to really show what he was capable of.
"Li Yun!" Xiao's voice rang out across the courtyard.
Li Yun's eyes snapped open, and a sneer curled on his lips as he turned toward the source of the interruption.
"You dare to call my name, Trash Xiao? What is it this time? You come to beg for my mercy again?"
The disciples surrounding Li Yun laughed, shaking their heads. The mere thought of Xiao Fan challenging Li Yun was laughable.
But Xiao Fan didn't hesitate.
SLAP!
His palm cut through the air like lightning.
A shocking sound echoed across the courtyard as his palm collided with Li Yun's cheek with a force that knocked him off the platform.

Li Yun landed hard on the ground, his aura flickering in surprise. For a moment, he could hardly believe what had just happened. Xiao Fan—a trash disciple—had just slapped him, someone who was considered a prodigy!
The crowd fell into stunned silence.
Xiao Fan stood there, his eyes cold and piercing.
"You think I'm trash? You're the one who's been trashing the Outer Sect, Li Yun. I'm here to teach you something today." He pointed at Li Yun, his hand glowing with an aura of righteousness. "No one is above slapping in this sect!"
Li Yun scrambled to his feet, his face burning with humiliation. His cultivation was strong, yet in front of everyone, he had been reduced to a joke by someone he had once mocked. This wasn't just a slap—it was a declaration.
The disciples around them stood frozen, unsure of what to do. But inside, Xiao Fan could feel his Slap Dao growing stronger. The power he had gained wasn't just from cultivation—it was from the belief that no one could stand above him anymore.
Li Yun scowled and wiped the blood from his lips, his expression darkening. "You think you can get away with this?"
"Oh, don't worry. You'll get your revenge," Xiao Fan smirked. "But I won't be your punching bag anymore." He turned, walking away with his head held high.
As Xiao Fan walked away, the disciples stared at him, their shock turning into awe. Whispers spread like wildfire.
"Did you see that?"
"Li Yun got slapped by that trash Xiao!"
"He's not trash anymore… He's something else."
Later that night, Xiao Fan found himself back in his small, humble room. His mind was buzzing with thoughts of the Slap Dao System. It had given him everything—a chance to redeem himself, to gain power, and to build a harem of beauties that would follow him to the ends of the earth.
But Xiao Fan wasn't just satisfied with the system. He had to find out more. How far could the Slap Dao take him? What were its true limits? And what other powerful faces would he slap in the coming days?

Xiao Fan grinned.
"Time to slap my way to the top."
