Chapter 615 - 487: Epic Hidden Quest: The Hint’s Result

Mu Feifei, the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race!

Not even twenty years old, she was already at Tier Seven Late Stage.

Ever since she was born, her name had been synonymous with genius among the younger generation of the other races.

However, when she met the Clan King of the High Mountain Race, she suddenly learned that the Fourth Prince of the Blood Race, Xue Ruyu, had unexpectedly broken through to Tier Eight.

Although a higher tier didn’t necessarily equate to greater strength, the fact that breakthroughs became exponentially more difficult was undeniable.

Therefore, ever since hearing that Xue Ruyu had reached Tier Eight, Mu Feifei had been looking for a chance to test her skills against him.

And now, an opportunity had fallen right into her lap. How could she not accept the challenge?

"Let’s fight! Let me see just how much of a genius the Fourth Prince of the Blood Race truly is!" Mu Feifei roared, then unexpectedly launched an attack herself.

"Bring it on!!!" Gao Neng’s smile grew even wider.

’The last thing I wanted was for Mu Feifei to use some treasure and escape. But now she wants to fight, and without any external help? This couldn’t be more perfect.’

’Let’s do this!’

’If I can’t even take her down like this, then my name isn’t Gao Neng!’

...

As Mu Feifei charged straight for him, Gao Neng, of course, wouldn’t retreat.

’We’re both Tier Seven. What makes you so special?’

CLANG!

His saber clashed against her twin swords.

A powerful wave of energy emanated from Mu Feifei, crashing down on Gao Neng like a roaring tsunami.

But Gao Neng met the torrent head-on, determined not to be overwhelmed. He pushed back against her power, intending to overpower her in turn.

"The Fourth Prince of the Blood Race certainly lives up to his name!" Mu Feifei’s expression shifted, her eyes flashing with excitement.

The Fourth Prince’s power and his direct, head-to-head fighting style were clearly to her taste.

But against Gao Neng’s explosive push, Mu Feifei was ultimately forced back three consecutive steps until her back slammed against the wall.

CRASH!

The wall shattered.

But this didn’t intimidate Mu Feifei at all.

’In her mind, physical strength was the Blood Race’s forte. Combined with his supposed tier advantage, it would have been strange if she *hadn’t* lost a head-on collision.’

"Your Blood Race may have the advantage in strength, but that doesn’t mean my Celestial Race is weaker than yours!" Mu Feifei tilted her head back slightly, then shouted, "Your Highness, I’ll pay you back for the room... but first, face my ’Angel’s Advent’!"

VMMMM!

The moment Mu Feifei finished speaking, a ray of silver-white light descended from the sky.

BOOM!

It blasted a large hole straight through the roof.

The beam of light spread out like a fan as it enveloped Mu Feifei.

At the same time, a pair of snow-white wings unfurled from her back, shimmering with faint, overlapping shadows.

SHREEEE!

A bird-like cry escaped her lips.

A suit of blue armor materialized around her, and two longswords shimmering with silver light appeared in her hands.

’What a familiar scene. A pity that times have changed,’ Gao Neng thought, watching the light emanating from Mu Feifei illuminate the night sky. He was inexplicably reminded of the first time he’d ever met her.

’Back then, I was no match for her at all.’

’In fact, a fight wasn’t even a possibility...’

’But now, in less than a year, I can finally face her in a real battle.’

’So-called genius of the other races?’

’Daring to call yourself a genius in front of me, Gao Neng, the guy with all the cheat codes?’

"Take my blade!"

Gao Neng charged.

But Mu Feifei dodged with ease.

Clearly, after that first exchange, Mu Feifei had no intention of clashing with him head-on again.

She didn’t run, of course.

As she dodged Gao Neng’s frontal assault, a shimmering, luminous afterimage appeared where she had just been. This image didn’t move with her; it remained in place.

Gao Neng’s saber sliced right through the luminous afterimage.

SWOOSH!

The saber passed through it as if cutting through empty air.

’An afterimage?’ Gao Neng spun with a backhand slash, striking again at Mu Feifei, who had reappeared behind him.

CLANG!!

A sharp ring echoed out.

Mu Feifei was sent flying back by the force of the blow.

Gao Neng, however, remained where he stood. He couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. ’Is this the full extent of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Race’s power?’

Just as the thought crossed his mind...

He noticed that the afterimage he had just sliced through had begun to move.

That’s right!

The luminous afterimage behind him bizarrely raised its sword.

’???’

If he hadn’t activated his Ghostly Ghost Eyes, which gave him a perfect 360-degree field of vision, he never would have realized that the afterimage Mu Feifei had left behind was capable of movement.

BOOM!

Gao Neng spun around to block.

The sword of light struck his saber dead-on.

The blow carried the force of an ocean tide.

Even Gao Neng was forced back two steps before he could regain his footing.

’Such incredible power! It’s definitely no weaker than Mu Feifei herself—it might even be stronger!’ Gao Neng was genuinely astonished now.

He had assumed the afterimage was just a visual distraction; he never imagined it could actually move.

And not only could it move, but it possessed even greater power than its creator...

’This was all getting a little unscientific.’

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

A series of whooshes echoed around him.

Then, a full three luminous afterimages materialized around Mu Feifei.

Each afterimage was a perfect copy of her, clad in armor and holding twin swords. But for now, they remained in place, completely motionless.
