What Zi Xing didn’t see, as she squeezed her eyes shut in fear, was the ten Golden Sharp Swords striking the water mbrane in unison. However, upon contact, the nacing Golden Sharp Swords were completely absorbed by the mbrane, failing to create even a single ripple.
This scene shocked Wang ng so much that he was rooted to the spot, unable to believe what had just transpired.
That was my strongest attack! It was the first ti I’ve used it since breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm Fourth Layer. I thought that even if it couldn’t defeat her, it would at least injure her. But my strongest attack couldn’t even penetrate her defense!
Wang ng’s voice trembled with astonishnt as he pointed a stuttering finger at Li Nian’er. "You... you... are you a high-level Martial Emperor?"
Li Nian’er giggled, her chubby cheeks puffing up adorably. "What are you talking about? I’m just at the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm. I thought that since you broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm Fourth Layer, you could play with a little longer. Turns out you’re still too weak."
"Impossible! That’s impossible! How can the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm be this powerful? Are you trying to fool ? Do you think I’ve never fought soone at that level before?" Wang ng scread himself hoarse. Countless experts at the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm have fallen to ! How can she only be at that level?
He had fought Li Nian’er before and had even faced this water mbrane, but nothing like this had ever happened. It completely shattered his understanding of martial techniques.
In truth, it was no surprise Wang ng had lost his composure. Given Li Nian’er’s temperant, if he hadn’t severely injured her little junior brother today, she probably wouldn’t have used her full strength. She found it imnsely fun to give people hope, only to shatter it again and again. The power she was displaying now was more than enough to drive Wang ng to despair, and this made her feel a slight sense of regret. Now I’ll have one less fun junior to play with in the Central Celestial Academy. What a sha.
Growing bored of Wang ng’s incessant questioning, Li Nian’er finally lost her patience. "I actually had so expectations for you, but you’re just too weak! So boring. You’re wasting my ti! Forget it, let’s just get this over with!" With that, she unleashed her aura, revealing the undeniable power of the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm.
In that mont, Wang ng fell into utter despair. Li Nian’er truly was only at the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor realm. He recalled how Ye Qingchen, at only the fourth layer of the Martial King Realm, could display combat power exceeding the Peak of Martial King Realm. He couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head. The disciples from the Divine Wood Academy are each more monstrous than the last!
At that mont, Ye Qingchen, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. His own recovery speed was astonishing, and coupled with the miraculous effect of the Spirit Pill from Li Nian’er, he had regained consciousness in a short ti.
The first thing to enter his vision was Zi Xing’s stunning face, her luminous eyes filled with worry. But now, her mouth was slightly agape in surprise, a sight that added a touch of cuteness to her usual heroic bearing. Following her gaze, Ye Qingchen’s eyes landed on Li Nian’er’s stunning figure.
He didn’t dwell on her appearance, however. Who is she? She’s standing in front of , so she must be an ally. But no matter how hard I think, I can’t place her at all.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense. Li Nian’er, whose back had been to him, seed to sense sothing and turned her head. Seeing him awake, her expression was one of surprise mixed with a hint of joy. "Little Junior Brother, you’re awake? I thought your injuries would keep you bedridden for at least ten to fifteen days."
"Little Junior Brother? Who are you?" he asked, even more confused by her words. This girl with a youthful face and a mature figure... have I ever seen her before?
An annoyed expression crossed Li Nian’er’s face. She pouted her full lips slightly and said irritably, "I’m your Senior Sister, Li Nian’er! Didn’t that old geezer Elder Yang ever ntion ? Hmph! Just wait till I get back, I’m going to pluck every last hair from his beard!"
As she spoke, she produced her Divine Wood Order and waved it in front of Ye Qingchen. "But let’s not worry about that now. You owe big ti for today. If your Senior Sister hadn’t shown up when I did, this guy would have bullied you to death."
Seeing the Divine Wood Order, Ye Qingchen finally understood that she was truly a student from the Divine Wood Academy. Elder Yang did tell I had so senior brothers and sisters out gaining experience, but I always thought he was just making things up and bragging. After all, given how dilapidated the Divine Wood Academy is, who would ever want to join?
To his surprise, Elder Yang had been telling the truth. He really did have senior brothers and sisters. He rembered the desperate situation he’d been in just before losing consciousness, and now that he was safe, he knew he owed a great debt to this Senior Sister he had never t. Clasping his hands in a fist-and-palm salute, Ye Qingchen said, "Thank you for saving , Senior Sister Nian’er."
Pleased by his form of address, Li Nian’er nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "We’re family, no need to be so formal. Now that you’re awake, watch closely how your Senior Sister gets revenge for you!"
With that, Li Nian’er turned and began walking toward Wang ng one step at a ti. Intimidated by her powerful presence, Wang ng instinctively retreated. But the thought of Wang Teng still lying on the ground made him grit his teeth and stand firm. "Li Nian’er! The Central Celestial Academy forbids disciples from killing one another! What do you think you’re doing?"
Li Nian’er gave a mischievous laugh and replied nonchalantly, "You didn’t seem too concerned about that rule when you were attacking my little junior brother, did you? Besides, do you really think I care about the rules of the Central Celestial Academy?"
After she spoke, Li Nian’er waved a hand through the air. A surge of pure Water Energy coalesced into the shape of a palm and flew toward Wang ng’s face. The slap looked unremarkable, but to Wang ng, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He tried to dodge, but the energy palm stuck to him like a shadow, making escape impossible! He then tried to block it, but the palm suddenly accelerated, striking him squarely across the face.
SMACK!
A crisp crack echoed out, and a clear red palm print appeared on his left cheek. The blow caused no substantial physical damage, but for a Martial Artist, it was an absolute humiliation.
SMACK!
Before Wang ng could even react, another slap landed, leaving a matching print on his right cheek.
Li Nian’er simply kept waving her arm through the empty air, sending one energy slap after another flying toward Wang ng.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK...
Amid the astonished gazes of the onlookers, a continuous stream of slapping sounds echoed out relentlessly.
