Chapter 102: Luo Yi’s "Revenge

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Luo Yi’s "Revenge

The people around them still had disgruntled sneers on their faces. "Hmph, saying we’re not as good as this kid? That’s utterly ridiculous!"

Yi Xiaoyao shot the crowd a cold glance. ’If Senior Sister says to ignore them, then I’ll ignore them.’

"Senior Sister, you’ve been helping me this whole time. Let me handle this next level," Yi Xiaoyao said to Luo Yi with a small smile.

A flicker of emotion crossed Luo Yi’s beautiful eyes. ’Is my Junior Brother about to do something that will astonish me again?’

Although Luo Yi had already braced herself and had witnessed Yi Xiaoyao’s capabilities before, the scene that followed made her pretty face change color once more.

"Junior Brother, are you going to..."

Before Luo Yi could finish, Yi Xiaoyao’s figure had already blurred into a series of illusions, appearing in front of her and blocking the two Black Stone Puppets.

"Senior Sister, you’ve worked hard. You should take a rest now."

The moment Yi Xiaoyao finished speaking, he clashed with the two Black Stone Puppets.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG...

Wherever his sword light passed, large chunks of stone would fall from the Black Stone Puppets. From the very first exchange, Yi Xiaoyao had gained the upper hand.

The Black Stone Puppets on this level were equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Eighth Realm in terms of cultivation. Under the effects of Gravity and Magnetism, they were unusually agile, and their attacks were astonishingly powerful.

The other disciples challenging the tower, who were struggling under the restraints of the Gravity and Magnetism, were suffering miserably against these Black Stone Puppets. Defeating them sixty-four times each was an incredibly difficult task.

But to Yi Xiaoyao, who was unaffected by the Gravity and Magnetism, these Black Stone Puppets were nothing more than lumps of rock with the power of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Realm.

Puppets without intelligence were even worse than Demon Beasts of the same cultivation level.

No matter how fast the Black Stone Puppets were, how could they possibly be faster than Yi Xiaoyao, who possessed the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique?

What’s more, Yi Xiaoyao already had the ability to slay enemies at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Realm. No matter how powerful these puppets were, they were no match for him and would fall within a few moves.

CRASH! CRASH!

With the sound of two great stones shattering, Yi Xiaoyao had easily dispatched the two Black Stone Puppets in just a few moments.

Throughout the entire process, Yi Xiaoyao’s movements were nimble, his speed and power astounding. The Black Stone Puppets hadn’t even managed to touch the hem of his clothes before they were reduced to two piles of rubble.

Everyone on the eighth floor witnessed this scene, and their hearts trembled with shock.

They were instantly reminded of their earlier taunts. Their expressions stiffened, and they wished they could take back the words they had said.

Luo Yi’s pretty face was also filled with astonishment, but in the next instant, her eyes glinted, and she giggled.

"Who was it just now who said my Junior Brother couldn’t withstand the Gravity and Magnetism and would be unable to move an inch?"

Luo Yi looked at the people around them and asked with a cold smile.

No one in the crowd responded, their minds reeling as if battered by stormy waves.

If the speed Yi Xiaoyao had just displayed was considered ’unable to move an inch,’ then what did that make their own slow, difficult steps as they dodged the Black Stone Puppets’ attacks?

Seeing Luo Yi’s reaction, Yi Xiaoyao gave a helpless smile. His gaze then shifted back to the Black Stone Puppets in front of him, which were already reforming and reviving.

On the eighth floor, each Black Stone Puppet would revive sixty-four times. Since Yi Xiaoyao had to defeat two of them, that meant a total of one hundred and twenty-eight defeats.

"It’s not that difficult, but it’s still a time-consuming, physical chore." ℯℯ𝘭.

Yi Xiaoyao muttered to himself before his figure shot toward the Black Stone Puppets once again.

Seeing that Yi Xiaoyao was truly capable of handling this level, Luo Yi finally sat down on the spot, relieved. Yi Xiaoyao had told her to rest, and she was indeed a bit tired.

’Junior Brother is actually hiding so much of his strength. He’s so mysterious.’

The corners of Luo Yi’s mouth couldn’t help but curve up slightly, her beautiful eyes, fixed on Yi Xiaoyao, sparkling with a strange light.

To others, it was inconceivable that Yi Xiaoyao, who only had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Fifth Realm, could possess such immense strength.

But having spent so much time with Yi Xiaoyao, Luo Yi was slowly getting used to him creating one miracle after another, leaving an increasingly mysterious impression in her heart.

At that thought, the corners of Luo Yi’s mouth curled up, and she began her "revenge" on the people who had just mocked Yi Xiaoyao.

"Hey, big guy, didn’t you just call my Junior Brother dead weight?" Luo Yi called out to a tall young man not far away with a sweet but cutting laugh. "Then what does that make you?"

Instantly, the big guy’s face turned beet red. Even if Luo Yi had said he was worse than dead weight, he would have had no way to retort.

Seeing his reaction, Luo Yi’s smile widened, and she immediately switched to another target.

"And you," Luo Yi said, pointing to another person. "You said our tower-climbing speed couldn’t compare to yours. Do you dare to say that again?"

The man she pointed at immediately looked embarrassed. He couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Yi Xiaoyao, and when he saw how swiftly Yi Xiaoyao was dispatching the Black Stone Puppets, his face twitched.

Luo Yi’s sweet laughter grew louder as she addressed everyone. "I said my Junior Brother was much stronger than all of you, but it seemed you weren’t convinced, were you?"

Luo Yi’s voice was clear and captivating, as pleasant as silver bells, but right now, that pleasant sound was like a slap across everyone’s faces.

For a moment, everyone was speechless, their faces burning with shame.

Suddenly, someone couldn’t take it anymore and pleaded, "Milady, please spare us! We admit we misjudged him. Could you please stop?"

The others also had pleading looks in their eyes. If Luo Yi continued, they wouldn’t even have the focus to deal with the Black Stone Puppets anymore.

Luo Yi was now doubled over with laughter. Seeing them surrender, she still showed no intention of stopping.

"Senior Sister, that’s enough."

Yi Xiaoyao couldn’t help but turn his head and say. Every word from Luo Yi was an indirect compliment to him, and it was starting to make him feel a little embarrassed.

Luo Yi seemed to have read his mind and giggled.

"Oh? Is my Junior Brother getting shy? If that’s the case, then fine," Luo Yi said, pouting a little as she agreed, looking as if she hadn’t had her fill of fun yet.

At this, the surrounding crowd all shot Yi Xiaoyao a grateful look. At the same time, they were filled with regret. None of them had expected the kid they’d looked down on to possess such astonishing strength.

After resting for a moment, Luo Yi rejoined the battle, fighting the Black Stone Puppets alongside Yi Xiaoyao.

After all, there were only three spots for entry into the Great Demon Ancient Tomb, so the faster they reached the tenth floor, the better.

With the two of them working together, their speed was astonishing. However, due to the Black Stone Puppets’ strength and number of revivals, nearly a full day passed.

During the process, Yi Xiaoyao’s efficiency was even a little faster than Luo Yi’s. This made Luo Yi grow increasingly curious as to why Yi Xiaoyao seemed completely unaffected by the Gravity and Magnetism.

Luo Yi had had this question for a while, but since Yi Xiaoyao hadn’t said anything, she wouldn’t ask.

As they finished off the Black Stone Puppets’ final revival, the two of them finally caught their breath and walked into the entrance to the ninth floor under the envious gazes of the crowd.

The moment they entered the ninth floor, the expressions on Yi Xiaoyao’s and Luo Yi’s faces changed drastically.
