Wang Zihao raised his eyebrows, extremely proud as he said, "Xu Hao, the mere trick of plucking a leaf to injure a person, I too can do it. Can you show me something different?"
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, stood up, and casually plucked a tree leaf.
Seeing this, Wang Zihao immediately mocked, "Humph! I knew you had no other techniques up your sleeve, truly disappointing!"
Xu Hao smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
After he said this, he threw the leaf at the ten boxes of wine.
A crisp sound was heard, and the lids of the remaining nine wooden boxes had all been sliced open by Xu Hao using just a single leaf!
But, unlike Wang Zihao who flipped the lids onto the ground, Xu Hao's leaf only made the lids tremble slightly as it passed through them in an instant.
Even those standing at a distance didn't notice the trembling of the lids, thinking that nothing had occurred.
Sun Zai'an immediately applauded and said, "Young Master Xu, your control of force is so profound that you pierced through nine sandalwood lids in one go, and you did it without causing much change to the sandalwood. Just this level of control over Qi Force demonstrates that you are no less remarkable than us old fellows! But it took us years to hone such strength, yet Young Master Xu has it at such a young age, sigh, your talent is too heaven-defying!"
Qian Hong nodded incessantly, Xu Hao's control over force was indeed extremely high, otherwise, he wouldn't have managed to quietly slice open nine sandalwood lids.
However, at this moment, Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Kui, displayed a look of astonishment and began to ponder, wondering about something.
Seeing this, Wang Zihao snorted coldly, "I only cut open one lid fearing that if I cut all ten at once, you would have no lids left to cut. I didn't expect you to upstage me ; otherwise, I could have just cut all ten lids in one go and been done with it!"
Xu Hao smiled lightly, "Are you sure I only sliced open the lids of these nine sandalwood boxes?"
"What? You cut open something else too?" Wang Zihao felt a sudden surge in his heart and quickly asked.
At this time, Wu Kui sighed and said, "Although Xu Xiao You's interests clash with our Wu Family, I still have to admit that Xu Xiao You is definitely the most astonishing talent I have seen in my life! His single leaf not only instantly cut open the lids of nine boxes but also directly sliced open the bottle caps inside!"
"What? How is that possible?"
Wang Zihao immediately exclaimed in a mixture of shock and anger, "The bottle caps are made of glass, and if they were cut, there would definitely be a clear, resonant glass-breaking sound, which I'm sure I would have heard. Moreover, these boxes are sealed; one can't see inside to judge the height of the bottles. Cutting recklessly would surely cause glass shards to fall into the bottles!"
Wu Kui's words astonished everyone, including Sun Zai'an, who all walked forward to open the boxes and check.
Upon checking, everyone was stunned.
All nine boxes, eighteen bottles of wine, lined up in a row, had their caps cut off by Xu Hao's single leaf!
And the bottles were intact!
Qian Hong exclaimed in shock, "The tops of these glass bottles are extremely thin, just three millimeters away from the bottle opening, yet Young Master Xu used a single leaf to cut through that three-millimeter gap!"
Wang Zihao immediately inspected it and, after seeing the results, became furious beyond measure, "I get it now, you are all in cahoots to trap me! These bottles must have been from the start."
Wu Yong immediately expressed his displeasure, "My Wu Family has a grievance with Xu Hao, why would I collude with him to trap you?"
With so many onlookers, he naturally couldn't blatantly lie; if he did admit to trapping Wang Zihao, it would cause severe damage to his family's reputation.
Wang Zihao angrily said, "If this wasn't a setup from the beginning, how could such a coincidence occur? How could Xu Hao's leaf have just so happened to pass through that three-millimeter gap? How did he know how tall the bottles were?"
Everyone simultaneously turned to Xu Hao, harboring the same doubts in their hearts.
The challenge in this matter was knowing the height of the wine bottles. For a s*moot#h@er& r@ea@d-i*n&g- e&xp$eri+e!nce,& visit. M!V@&LE.M*PYR.
Those sandalwood boxes were solid, with no drill holes or anything of the sort; one simply couldn't see the inside from the outside.
Anna spit out in disgust, "Pah! Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. My Brother Hao is the best! Your outburst is nothing but the roar of the incompetent!"
Wang Zihao completely ignored Anna's ridicule; arguing with her, a teenager in her teens, would only make him the laughing stock of everyone there.
Xu Hao said with a faint smile, "When those boxes were placed on the ground, I determined the height of the bottles inside through the vibration and shaking of the boxes."
"How did you gauge that?" Wang Zihao asked immediately.
Xu Hao chuckled and answered, "I'm not your daddy, why should I tell you? If you call me 'Daddy,' maybe one day when I'm in a good mood, I'll teach you."
