I Have Infinite Attributes

C3 - Attack

"You're trying to trick me into telling the truth?"

Zhou Leng snapped back to reality, glaring at Zhou Jibo with fury in his voice.

Zhou Jibo offered a slight smile and said, "The Great Elder himself declared that only a fool would pay twenty taels of silver for Element Gathering Powder. It appears you're that fool."

The Great Elder, Zhou Qian, looked displeased, and his supporters wore similarly sour expressions.

Zhou Leng recalled Zhou Jibo's previous disregard for him and how Zhou Jibo had just attempted to coax the truth out of him. Embarrassment mixed with rising anger within him.

"Zhou Jibo, I'm going to kill you!"

Zhou Leng bellowed, unleashing his Gravel Palm technique as he lunged at Zhou Jibo.

Zhou Jibo merely glanced up, seeing Zhou Leng's effort as nothing more than a child's feeble attempt to strike. It was laughable.

With a simple raise of his hand, Zhou Jibo effortlessly slipped through the missed gap in Zhou Leng's palm, seizing his arm and twisting it behind his back.

To the onlookers, it was as if Zhou Leng's palm strike was child's play for Zhou Jibo, who nonchalantly navigated through the attack and subdued Zhou Leng with ease.

Was this the might of an Earth Spirit with a low-grade bone root? Zhou Jibo, only a notch below Zhou Leng at the fourth layer of Acquired, had been so easily overpowered?

Zhou Kaile, the Great Elder, and the rest watched in astonishment.

The Elders' stares were even more penetrating, as they discerned a deeper issue: with that single move, Zhou Jibo's Gravel Palm technique was at least on par with the fourth layer, if not verging on the fifth layer of the Acquired Stage!

Only with such skill could Zhou Jibo flawlessly navigate the most precise gap and exploit Zhou Leng's vulnerability, capturing him in an instant!

Zhou Jibo's aptitude for learning martial skills was frighteningly impressive.

The hearts of the two Elders, previously aligned with the Great Elder, wavered. Weighing the potential of the next generation, Zhou Leng's swift defeat suggested that Zhou Jibo's prospects were far more promising.

"Release me!"

Zhou Leng's arm was firmly grasped by Zhou Jibo, who shouted in anger.

"At this point, it's time for the truth," Zhou Jibo stated. "How did you plan to set up the evidence and witnesses?"

Zhou Leng turned to face him, his voice rising in fury, "I said, let go!"

"Forget it! I won't retract my statement. You're nothing but a thief who stole my Element Gathering Powder!"

"Your reputation is destroyed! Once the Zheng family hears of this, especially Zheng Xunqin, your beloved, any hopes for marriage will be dashed!"

"To be perfectly honest, Zheng Xunqin doesn't mean that much to me," Zhou Jibo spoke with a dismissive tone. "I'll simply have to clarify a few matters with her in the future."

"And as for you..."

Zhou Jibo's eyes grew icy as he spoke, and with a sudden surge of strength in his palm, a sharp crack echoed.

Zhou Leng hit the ground, his scream piercing the air as his arm twisted unnaturally behind him.

"You accuse me, you sabotage me—did you think there would be no consequences?"

Zhou Jibo's voice was a cold blade.

"You vile creature! How dare you harm Zhou Leng!"

The Great Elder, Zhou Qian, witnessed Zhou Leng's injury and bellowed in rage, leaping towards Zhou Jibo. His palm sliced through the air, unleashing the Gravel Palm technique directly at Zhou Jibo!
