Chapter 260: Chapter 36: Junior Sister! Feel Free to Strike _3
"Thank you, Senior Brothers, for the reminder." Wang Luqiu turned back, nodding with a slightly grave expression, "This Senior Brother from Eternal Spring Valley. Are you ready?"
"Wait, I’ve got one more thing."
Li Yuzhe pulled out a piece of leaf, green as jade, emitting a vibrant life force, and put it into his mouth.
Immediately, strands of visible green energy flowed out from the leaf, streaming throughout his body.
"Li Yuzhe, do you have any shame?" Senior Brother Xiu Ping burst out angrily, "You’re using the pretext of defense to slowly stack up? Facing a junior sister more than ten years your junior, you’re even using Immortal Tree Leaves, aren’t you ashamed?!"
Disciples of Eternal Spring Valley are known for defense but not for attack, and if other disciples face them, they usually wouldn’t give such ample time for defensive enhancements.
Other disciples from Carefree Peak couldn’t help but loudly condemn Li Yuzhe’s shamelessness.
"Senior Brother Yuze is only defending without counterattacking, what more do you want?" retorted the disciples from Eternal Spring Valley, unwilling to give in.
The quarrel made Wang Luqiu frown slightly.
She extended one hand.
The surrounding quieted immediately.
"Senior Brother, are you ready?" Wang Luqiu looked at Li Yuzhe calmly.
Seeing Wang Luqiu remain so composed, Li Yuzhe felt a trace of embarrassment, wondering if he might have overdone it.
However, recalling Wang Luqiu’s earlier audacious words, his determination hardened.
He felt it was his duty to let this young girl understand that there are always greater people out there, not to underestimate the Eternal Spring Lineage.
"Junior Sister! Attack at will!"
With the Immortal Tree Leaf in his mouth, he nodded slightly, filled with confidence.
The moment he spoke.
Wang Luqiu moved.
In an instant, she drove her War Body to the utmost limit.
This time, not only her eyes but her entire body was shrouded in a crimson energy aura, as if she were cloaked in burning flames.
Though thin, it emanated a powerful aura, making her appear majestic like a young phoenix, not to be underestimated despite her youth.
This was her state upon awakening her Second Layer bloodline. Not only did she enter the War Body state more effortlessly, but its power was incomparable to before.
"Boom!"
She punched the Wood Spirit Shield fiercely.
Layers of ripples spread across the Spirit Shield, nearly breaking it.
Li Yuzhe’s body was immediately sent flying by her punch.
Before he even landed, Wang Luqiu caught up like a flash of lightning, took hold with both hands, and with a thrust, Li Yuzhe shot upwards into the sky with a "whoosh".
This launch took him more than a dozen zhang high.
Dazed and dizzy, Li Yuzhe lost control of his body.
Meanwhile, Wang Luqiu stamped on the ground hard, and with a "boom", she soared into the air, reaching above Li Yuzhe, then descended, stamping hard on him.
"Boom!"
Li Yuzhe smashed into the arena like a cannonball.
The arena, made of ordinary stone, shattered, sending stones flying everywhere.
Li Yuzhe’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
But it wasn’t over yet.
In the air, leveraging the force of the stomp, Wang Luqiu rose again, reached a height of nearly twenty zhang, then flipped downward, accelerating her descent.
Seizing the momentum from the skyfall, she punched out.
With her strength gathered, her fist glowed like flames, her whole body engulfed in dazzling red light, unstoppable like a falling meteor.
"Boom~!"
With a deafening roar, Wang Luqiu’s fist, white as jade, smashed into Li Yuzhe fiercely.
Li Yuzhe’s whole body trembled.
Almost instantly, the Wood Spirit Shield on him shattered from her punch, the seemingly indestructible Ancient Tree Armor cracked, and even the arena beneath him was smashed into a big pit, pieces of stone scattered all around.
"Puff!"
Li Yuzhe spat a mouthful of blood, and the Immortal Tree Leaf flew out of his mouth.
Wang Luqiu seemed to have predicted all of this.
After punching, she didn’t pursue further, but calmly withdrew her fist, standing aside, her voice steady, "Senior Brother Yuze, please be serious, okay? Can we officially start the spar now?"
Below the arena, everyone was dumbfounded.
