Chapter 207. Su Linyu’s Stubbornness
Below the stage, Jiang Yichen looked at this eye-searing scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Sleep God, is your minister usually like this?”
Sleep God’s eyes were half-lidded. He sighed, seemingly unwilling to recall it.
“Sigh! You will get used to it,” Liang Shan, who was wearing a gas mask, comforted him.
Mo Yan held his forehead and could not bear to look directly.
“Hahaha, this damn fatty really is a lecher. He even likes the minister when she looks like an uncle.”
Only Lingling sat in her seat and laughed loudly. She seemed to love watching this bizarre scene.
Jiang Yichen smiled. He felt that this group of people was actually quite interesting.
SLAP!
On the platform, Mei Xue’er looked at Tang Long, who was gradually approaching. A trace of visceral disgust flashed in the depths of her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
After slapping Tang Long awake through the air, she slowly withdrew the Law of Charm.
The blush on Su Linyu and Chu Xingchen’s faces faded, and they drew deep breaths.
If that Charm Art had been even a little stronger, they really would have sunk into it beyond escape.
“You two are quite good. You were able to maintain your true hearts in front of thirty percent of my Charm Art. Your willpower is much better than this fatty’s.” Mei Xue’er glanced at Tang Long.
The latter held his reddened face, feeling so wronged that he wanted to cry.
You used Charm Art on me and even hit me. There really is no justice in this world.
“Next, we will conduct actual combat.”
Mei Xue’er slowly walked to the center of the platform and took a stance. “The three of you can come at me together. You must go all out. I will not bully you with the Laws.”
Below the stage, Jiang Yichen frowned slightly. She was still too confident.
She did not understand that after only three days apart, one should look at a person with new eyes. The current Su Linyu, Chu Xingchen, and Tang Long were no longer who they had been during the Recruit Challenge.
Before Su Linyu’s Supreme-grade talent, if Mei Xue’er did not use the Laws...
Then she could just wait to get beaten.
“Then please excuse us, Minister Mei.”
On the stage, Su Linyu’s fair, tender palm swept past her brows and eyes. A trail of crimson flame extended from the outer corners of her eyes, making her look exceptionally mystical.
A fiery Vermilion Bird flew out from her body. As it rose into the air, its form gradually enlarged, covering the lights above them.
SCREECH—
The fiery Vermilion Bird let out a deafening cry. Mei Xue’er’s expression immediately went dazed for a moment, and disbelief appeared in the depths of her eyes.
A month and a half ago, during the Recruit Challenge, Su Linyu had even struggled to use Radiant Flame.
Yet now, this fiery Vermilion Bird could actually affect Mei Xue’er, a Divine Contract Holder who specialized in mental power.
Mei Xue’er pointed a finger toward the space between her brows and dispelled the fiery Vermilion Bird’s influence on her mind.
Then she launched forward with both legs and charged toward Su Linyu at extreme speed.
“Damn fake-cutesy freak, eat shield!”
With a boom, Tang Long lifted a Golden Shield with both hands and smashed it down in front of Su Linyu.
DONG—
Mei Xue’er’s fist struck the Golden Shield, producing a sound like a tolling bell.
The powerful rebound force shook Mei Xue’er two steps back, while Tang Long nearly flew off the platform.
“Ow, damn. This fake-cutesy freak is so strong.” Tang Long stood at the edge of the platform and spoke in surprise.
“Go all out. Captain, you interfere with her. I will take the main attack!”
Chu Xingchen took out a seventh-rank Magical Artifact longsword. A faint glow spread across the blade, and purple-black light shrouded his eyes.
“Sword Like the Wind!”
His figure instantly turned into an afterimage, and sword qi flew out like wind blades.
Mei Xue’er’s expression remained normal. As a peak Seventh Realm fighter, dealing with two Fifth Realm fighters and one Sixth Realm fighter was like an old man playing with naughty children.
Her feet leaped, and she stepped through the air onto the wind-blade-like sword qi.
The longsword in Chu Xingchen’s hand half-turned like a swimming dragon. His footwork turned ghostly as he stabbed out with his sword.
Yet Mei Xue’er moved as though taking a leisurely stroll. She shook her head. “Too slow.”
To her, as someone who specialized in mental power, Chu Xingchen’s sword speed was incomparably slow.
She raised her hand and lightly tapped the longsword. The vibration formed by the immense force sent the longsword flying out of Chu Xingchen’s hand.
“So strong!” Chu Xingchen frowned tightly. He had clearly used the Demonic Eyes to see through Mei Xue’er’s weakness, but he was still one step slower than her.
This was not only a massive difference in realm. It was also a difference in combat experience.
“Your strength is decent, but aside from your group leader, you are still far too lacking.”
Mei Xue’er picked up the longsword and toyed with it, her tone carrying a faint hint of provocation.
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Linyu and the other two narrowed their eyes and could not help clenching their fists.
They recalled how, after the Recruit Challenge, Mei Xue’er had said that their strength was low and that there was no need for Jiang Yichen to stay by their side.
At that time, for a brief moment, they had truly felt inferior.
“You are getting happy too soon.”
Su Linyu stepped forward twice, her eyes resolute.
Mei Xue’er raised her eyes and smiled. “Is that so? Then let me see your strength. Do not be like you were during the Recruit Challenge, unable to even use your martial arts talent.”
Su Linyu’s eyes turned cold. She glanced back toward the stage below.
Brother Yichen not only helped me cultivate, but also helped me improve my martial arts talent. I absolutely cannot disappoint him.
She slowly raised her palm, which burned with crimson Radiant Flame.
Mei Xue’er originally thought that Su Linyu would strike at her, but with a PFFT, Su Linyu unexpectedly slammed her palm into her own chest, and a mouthful of blood immediately sprayed out.
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen: “...”
Wait, why was she hitting herself?
“Captain, what are you doing? There is no need to hurt yourself, right?” Tang Long hurriedly supported the swaying Su Linyu.
But Su Linyu shook her head. Power condensed in her palm, and she struck her own chest again.
Blood kept spraying from her mouth.
“Boss, what is the captain doing?”
Below the stage, Sleep God saw this scene and asked in confusion.
“What is wrong with her? The minister is strong, but it is not to the point where she has to hurt herself, right?” Lingling looked at Su Linyu vomiting blood again and again, and worry appeared on her face.
Liang Shan and Mo Yan also found it very difficult to understand. Could she win against the minister by hurting herself?
Only Jiang Yichen remained silent. He knew that Su Linyu intended to use “Nirvanic Rebirth.” Every time she was severely injured, she could use Nirvanic Rebirth to raise her realm by one layer, and it could stack up to nine layers.
This girl was truly ruthless to herself.
He did not stop her. After spending so much time with Su Linyu, he could read the meaning in her eyes.
Su Linyu was not only proving that she had worked hard; she was also proving that she had not wasted his efforts.
“What are you doing? Hurting yourself?”
Mei Xue’er’s face was full of speechlessness. She had thought she could see Su Linyu’s strength after her transformation.
But now, Su Linyu was even more disappointing than she had been during the last Recruit Challenge.
Mei Xue’er truly did not understand why Jiang Yichen wanted to remain in the new recruit camp. Would it not be better for him to join the Divine Battle Division and display his own strength?
Mei Xue’er shook her head slightly. “I understand your strength now. I will draw up a training plan for you. Training will begin tomorrow.”
Her eyes carried a trace of disappointment as she turned and walked off the platform.
HUMM!
But in the next second, a scorching, intense aura swept through the surroundings.
Mei Xue’er’s steps paused. She turned back in extreme astonishment and stared at Su Linyu, who was being supported by Tang Long.
In her perception, Su Linyu’s realm was rising at extreme speed.
Fourth Layer of the Sixth Realm.
Fifth Layer of the Sixth Realm.
...
Second Layer of the Seventh Realm!
WHOOSH—
The instant she broke through to the Seventh Realm, the entire combat platform was wrapped in crimson Radiant Flame. The scorching temperature made everyone feel as though their bodies and divine souls were about to melt.
“The Martial King realm... a Domain!”
Seeing Su Linyu rise from the Third Layer of the Sixth Realm to the Seventh Realm in the blink of an eye, Mei Xue’er’s eyes filled with shock.
How was this possible?
