Age of Evolution#

Chapter 983: Chapter 986: Mei’er Makes a Move_1 Chapter 983: Chapter 986: Mei’er Makes a Move_1 This voice rang out, causing An Ning and the others to frown slightly.

There were seven female students in the Heaven Class of Falling Star Lake, excluding the six from Lin Zhen’s family, there was another woman named Athena.

This woman was also quite powerful, she was the woman of Gabriel, who is currently the top of Heaven Class.

Gabriel came in first in his third year at Falling Star Lake, you could say he was currently the most popular character here.

As his woman, Athena also rode on his coat-tails, enjoying unparalleled glory.

An Ning and the others knew that Gabriel intended to compete with Lin Zhen, because many people said that Lin Zhen was going to inherit the Holy Land’s residency in the future, but Gabriel had always been unconvinced.

…

Originally when the Dimensional Universe was connected with the Endless Star Sea, many people already knew about Lin Zhen’s achievements in the Endless Star Sea.

An Ning and the others thought that Gabriel should have given up on competing with Lin Zhen, but from the looks of it now, Gabriel and Athena seemed completely oblivious to this.

There was nothing peculiar about this, the martial atmosphere in Falling Star Lake was so dense that many people were deep in seclusion.

Only once in every ten years there would come a moment to visit the 33-day tower, they were completely ignorant of the outside world.

Some people even only came out once in decades and were indifferent to what had happened during these decades because the amount of information in a short time was too much, they simply chose to ignore it.

Hearing Athena’s provocative voice, An Ning stopped her steps, she didn’t want to give others too many pretexts.

Glancing at Su Mingyue, Su Mingyue also shook her head slightly: “Just forget it, An Ning.

We don’t lack for a spot, let’s wait.”

With the two lady bosses speaking up, sisters Ling’er and An Qier naturally wouldn’t say anything more.

But Lin Mei’er felt uncomfortable.

Growing up by her mother’s side, Lin Mei’er had been well protected and retained a somewhat innocent character.

This woman named Athena liked to cause trouble for no reason, Lin Mei’er had been putting up with her for a long time.

Hearing her rude words, Lin Mei’er immediately launched a ruthless counterattack.

“Hmph!

Some people are just ungrateful, we don’t wish to bother with her, but she thinks it’s because we’re afraid of her.

When it comes to talent, they lack it, but accuse others of flaunting their looks, if you want to flaunt, you must have something to show!”

“You bratty…!” Athena was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of her ears.

Although Athena was a great beauty, she was naturally overshadowed by Lin Zhen’s family’s excellent genes.

Lin Mei’er sneered: “Who are you calling a brat?

You are the brat, don’t you know that?”

Athena’s chest heaved as she struggled to calm her breath.

“Forget it, I won’t stoop to your level, you lot don’t get too cocky.

With no man around, you’re all rather subdued.

Your savior might not even be alive, perhaps he’ll never return.”

Upon hearing Athena’s words, An Ning and Su Mingyue’s faces changed, Athena had somewhat crossed their line.

An Ning looked steadily at Athena: “Miss Athena, you should watch your words.

We have no animosity towards you, why are you unreasonably making things difficult for us?

Now you’re even cursing my husband, apologize immediately and let bygones be bygones, otherwise we will not let this go.”

The sudden surge of An Ning’s aura made Athena feel choked.

An Ning is also at the peak of the Three Flowers stage, during each ten-year exam, she and Su Mingyue have consistently held the second and third places.

Sometimes An Ning was second, other times he was second.

Even Athena’s ranking in the Heaven Class was only at the same level as Ling’er, An Qier, or even Lin Mei’er.

If it came to the true skill, she was really no match for An Ning.

If it were usual, she would have backed down, but considering Gabriel’s successful breakthrough, Athena regained her confidence.

“What did I say wrong?

Your husband is essentially yesterday’s flower.

Although he achieved a little success back then, today seven or eight decades have passed, everything has changed.

The future of Falling Star Lake, still has to depend on Gabriel, you can’t be expecting to rely on you coquettish women right?”

As Athena spoke, she sniffed arrogantly: “Without your husband, and your son probably has been dead for a long time, stop pretending!”

“Impudent!”

An Ning could no longer hold back her anger.

Her missing son was always a constant pain in her heart.

All their hopes rest on Lin Zhen bringing them good news, but Lin Zhen might be in seclusion now.

An Ning didn’t want to bother him too often and had to patiently wait.

But she didn’t expect Athena to directly expose her pain, making An Ning unable to tolerate it any longer.

However, Lin Mei’er was the first to take action before An Ning could.

Although Su Mingyue was Lin Mei’er’s biological mother, An Ning had been treating Lin Mei’er like her own daughter for thousands of years.

Their deep relationship was far superior to that of ordinary mother and daughter, how could they tolerate Athena’s provocation.

Raised her hand, Lin Mei’er slapped a palm towards Athena.

Since Athena had already ripped off their relationship, she didn’t care about anything at this moment.

Although she was not a match for An Ning, she did not worry about Lin Mei’er.

During the multiple trials of the tower, she could still slightly suppress Lin Mei’er.

Therefore, when Lin Mei’er took action, Athena immediately raised her hand in retaliation.

The two graceful women started fighting in public but they were both careful to control their star power.

Otherwise, they would affect the others, it was a test of skill and combat experience.

But Athena never imagined that in this manner of controlling star power, Lin Mei’er surpassed her, even more.

Compared to Lin Mei’er, her advantage was star power, not skill.

Not to mention in the New World, even in the entire surface of the Original World, Lin Mei’er’s source of knowledge was unmatched.

When Lin Zhen and his family were together, based on each person’s combat characteristics, everything he learned, everything he could do, he shared without reservation.

Even if they can’t comprehend it immediately, Lin Zhen would record all techniques and secrets into their Dimensional Universe.

Though Lin Mei’er was in the Three Flowers Early Stage, she managed to learn a good deal of supreme techniques from Lin Zhen.

When it came to controlling Star Power, Athena would not have an advantage.

Luxurious slender hands transformed into shadows everywhere.

Lin Mei’er used the Tidal Martial Intent she learnt from Lin Zhen to unleash a powerful offensive.

Though this bare-handed fight was meant to stop at the slightest touch, Athena didn’t want to lose to Lin Mei’er either.

Athena, noticing that Lin Mei’er’s continuous offense resembled an endless tide, realized that she had no chance of winning this way and hatched a sinister plan.

Just as Lin Mei’er attacked, Athena suddenly released a violent eruption of Star Power, slashing over with her hand as sharp as a knife.

A handknife is one of the most common techniques for a martial artist, but when executed by someone as powerful.

When packed with Star Power, it was enough to split mountains.

This unexpected attack was so abrupt that Lin Mei’er risked grave injuries.

Surprised, Su Mingyue shrieked.

Extremely worried about her daughter, she was about to join in to help.

However, Lin Mei’er didn’t panic at all.

It seemed as though she had already prepared for Athena’s sneak attack.

She cleverly manoeuvred the Shadowless Step, narrowly evading the attack.

At the same time, Lin Mei’er retorted.

With a sweep of her hand, a rift in space appeared.

“Spatial Slash!”

She also learned this method from her father.

To tear open space with a single blow, precisely interrupting Athena’s fierce attack!

The Spatial Slash is a strike of extreme power.

Even though Lin Mei’er performed it slowly, when used effectively, in theory, the Spatial Slash could cleave anything.

Unless it could be blocked by a mightier Star Power, otherwise, it’s a lethal strike.

Athena’s advance had been too aggressive, and it was too late for her to dodge it.

Horror-stricken, she hurriedly let out an explosion of Star Power!

Her hasty defenses did serve some purpose.

The Star Power blocked the Spatial Slash, but Athena was knocked back, spinning in the air!

Sliding dozens of meters on the ground, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“You….you are so cruel!” Athena, pointing at Lin Mei’er, started to play the victim.

Successful in her attack, Lin Mei’er was thrilled, and she snorted disdainfully, “Hmph!

You’re the one who made the first move!

My father has warned me that everyone has their wicked side.

If you didn’t make the first cruel move, I wouldn’t have used such a technique against you.

This is what you get for everything you’ve done!”

As she said this, Lin Mei’er even made a face at Athena, making her spit out more blood.

“Su Mingyue, is this how you educate your daughter!

Gabriel won’t let this go.”

Su Mingyue pulled Lin Mei’er over, and a frosty layer covered her soft face, “Athena, you were the one who provoked us first, and insulted my husband, and attacked my daughter with wicked force first.

It won’t help even if you summoned whoever.”

“Fine, fine, fine, Su Mingyue normally you seem so gentle, I thought you were kind-hearted.

It seems now that you’re just a protective hen, you’re bullying us because you have the numbers.

Don’t be so arrogant!

I’ll call Gabriel right now!”

Clearly outnumbered, Athena immediately went to summon Gabriel as a reinforcement.

A message was sent to the Dimensional Universe, and Gabriel received it.

Soon, a figure rushed from the Heaven Class monument and hurried towards this direction.

The other students around cast worried looks at Su Mingyue and the other five women.

The power of Gabriel was not something anyone could withstand.

The six women were likely going to get the short end of the stick.

In less than a minute, Gabriel had already reached the Thirty-Three Skies Tower.

The crowd all around scattered to the sides, making way for Gabriel.

With his gaze looking straight forward, Gabriel exuded an unmistakable aura as he walked towards Athena.

“Gabriel…!” Athena complained coquettishly.

Gabriel reached out his hand, helping Athena to her feet, and gently patted her shoulder, “You’ve been wronged.

Just sit back and enjoy the show now, I’ve got everything covered.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Athena nodded, once again showing a provocative look towards Su Mingyue and the others.

However, Su Mingyue and An Ning didn’t even bother to acknowledge her, focussing their attention on Gabriel instead.

With his hands behind his back and standing tall, Gabriel seemed to tower over the women.

After sweeping his gaze over the women, Gabriel huffed.

“An Ning, Su Mingyue, technically, Lin Zhen is considered my senior from the previous cohort.

He was quite popular and prominent at the Holy Land at one point.

Out of respect, I have always given your group a wide berth.
