“What the hell are you doing, getting handsy?”
In her past life, when Chu Yan watched TV shows and read novels, what she disliked most was when a man would get handsy with a girl before they had any intimate relationship, as if the girl was his property.
“Scram!”
Chu Yan forcefully slapped Luo Xing’s wrist with her right hand.
With a crisp ‘smack,’ Luo Xing felt a searing pain in his wrist.
Luo Xing was a bit angry and also somewhat shocked.
He hadn't expected Chu Yan’s temper to be so bad now, getting handsy at the slightest disagreement. Also, wasn't Chu Yan cultivating water-attribute Profound Qi? How could a casual slap have such strong power?
“So conceited, getting handsy. Who do you think you are?”
Having consumed the Ancestral Dragon Blood, Chu Yan knew her physical strength had greatly increased. But exactly how strong? She might as well practice with Luo Xing.
“I am challenging you now, Luo Xing,” Chu Yan declared.
A few Inner Sect Disciples passing by heard Chu Yan’s words and immediately became interested.
They hadn’t expected that Senior Sister Chu Yan, who always had a gentle temper, would actually initiate a challenge against someone.
“Chu Yan, what do you mean by this? Why do we have to make such a big deal out of our matter?” Luo Xing still felt that “family shame should not be aired publicly,” and Chu Yan’s overreaction was truly inappropriate.
Chu Yan glanced at the other Inner Sect Disciples around them and sneered, “So, you coward, you’re not daring enough to accept?”
Several Inner Sect Disciples showed disdain in their eyes. In their perception, Chu Yan’s strength was slightly lower than Luo Xing’s. For him not to accept her challenge now would be too humiliating.
“No, I’m just worried about hurting you. Chu Yan, you know…” Luo Xing looked at Chu Yan with a doting expression; he couldn't bear to hurt the girl he loved.
Chu Yan turned and walked towards the arena. “If you don’t come, I’ll have someone announce this news to the entire Sect.”
“You…” Luo Xing hadn’t expected Chu Yan to be so ruthless, leaving no room for retreat.
Challenges like this had always been a major event in the Qingmu Sect. Moreover, it was a female Disciple actively challenging a male Disciple.
Without Chu Yan having to pay, those few Inner Sect Disciples watching had already spread the news throughout the entire Sect.
“Everyone, come quickly! Inner Sect Chu Yan has challenged Inner Sect Luo Xing!”
“It’s at Arena Number One.”
“A rare contest indeed.”
Upon hearing this news, many Inner Sect Disciples who were trading or Cultivating put down what they were doing and rushed to Arena Number One. Even some Inner Sect Elders heard the news and hurried over.
On Arena Number One, Chu Yan stood on the left, concentrating on adjusting her breathing and the Profound Qi within her body.
Luo Xing arrived on the right, looking at Chu Yan with a helpless expression. “Chu Yan, do we really have to go this far?”
Chu Yan felt disgusted. The words he spoke made it sound as if Chu Yan and he were lovers, and Chu Yan was just throwing a tantrum.
“Using this occasion today, I want to tell everyone that you and I are merely fellow Disciples, and nothing more. Stop being so conceited and self-important all the time. If you dare to speak or act without proper measure towards me again, I will not be polite.” Blue Profound Qi flowed rapidly through Chu Yan’s Meridians, and a powerful Aura slowly emanated from her body.
“Alright, alright, then let’s fight,” Luo Xing still said with a helpless and doting expression.
Chu Yan sneered inwardly. Since you still underestimate me, then I will attack.
Chu Yan tapped her toes on the ground, her figure flashing as she rapidly sprinted towards Luo Xing.
A sixth-grade movement Mystical Skill, Ephemeral Step.
Her figure was elusive, but in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Luo Xing.
“So fast!” Both the onlookers and Luo Xing had this thought simultaneously.
Chu Yan clenched her right fist and forcefully smashed it towards Luo Xing.
“Oh no, Luo Xing is an earth attribute, best at defense and offense. Senior Sister Chu Yan is a water attribute, how can she go head-to-head with Luo Xing?”
The onlookers were all puzzled by Chu Yan’s action.
However, Luo Xing didn’t dare to underestimate her. Having been slapped by Chu Yan earlier, he knew her physical strength had greatly increased.
Immediately, Luo Xing also clenched his left fist and punched out, colliding with Chu Yan’s fist.
With a dull ‘bang!’, both of them simultaneously retreated a few steps.
“No, it can’t be, is Luo Xing holding back?” an Inner Sect Disciple exclaimed.
“I don’t think so. Look at Luo Xing’s expression; he doesn’t look relaxed.”
Chu Yan now understood that the Ancestral Dragon Blood had strengthened her body to be comparable to the earth attribute.
Since that was the case, she might as well have a good fight.
Chu Yan unleashed Ephemeral Step, her figure swaying, while simultaneously launching relentless attacks with both fists towards Luo Xing’s head, back, and waist.
Luo Xing secretly groaned.
He was an earth attribute, inherently not good at speed. But now, Chu Yan, through some unknown method, had strengthened her physical body, making her no less powerful than him. She also suppressed him in terms of speed, causing him to only be able to passively defend.
No, I can’t be defeated here. Otherwise, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Luo Xing suddenly roared, and then his skin turned a grayish-white color. He clenched his right fist, a layer of grayish-white energy appearing on it, and then he smashed it towards Chu Yan.
This punch was powerful and heavy; Luo Xing wanted to force Chu Yan away and then use a powerful move to decide the outcome.
Chu Yan’s figure flashed, dodging the punch.
However, she immediately realized that Luo Xing was trying to create distance.
Too bad, I won’t give you a chance.
Chu Yan dodged the attack and immediately launched two Crushing Stone Fingers towards Luo Xing’s eyes and groin.
“Damn it!” Luo Xing had intended to rely on his attribute advantage to withstand Chu Yan’s attacks and then gather energy to unleash a powerful move. But when he noticed Chu Yan’s attack targets, he had no choice but to use his half-prepared powerful move to counter the Crushing Stone Finger aimed at his groin.
He dared not gamble; that area absolutely could not be injured.
But just at that moment, Chu Yan had already flashed and appeared on Luo Xing’s right side, delivering a whip kick that accurately struck Luo Xing’s neck.
“Bang!” Luo Xing’s body trembled a few times, then he fell to the ground.
“Wow, Senior Sister Chu Yan defeated Luo Xing!”
“Wow, so powerful!”
The Disciples watching cheered.
Among these people, Chu Yan also saw Luo Xing’s Master, Zhang Hao. His face was ashen, and the look in his eyes was somewhat annoyed.
Heh heh, anyway, I won fair and square.
From today onwards, the news of Chu Yan defeating Luo Xing would spread throughout the Qingmu Sect’s Inner Sect. At that time, let’s see what face Luo Xing will have left to harass me.
However, Chu Yan also realized a major problem of her own.
That was, she had no powerful ultimate moves.
