Chapter 293: Chapter 293: A One-Sword Insta-Kill, Is the Contest for Future Empress Over?
Inside the Martial Arts Dojo.
Gu Yuexi paid no mind to the crowd’s stares.
Whether it was the earlier mockery or the current shock and awe, she couldn’t care less.
She simply looked at Su Yingxue and said coolly,
“Are we still fighting?”
“Fight! Why wouldn’t we?!”
Su Yingxue snapped her head up and gritted her teeth.
She knew she had already been thoroughly humiliated today.
If she surrendered now, her title of “Future Empress” would become a complete joke throughout the entire school!
Her only hope was to reclaim her dignity with her strength in this martial arts duel!
“Fine.”
Gu Yuexi nodded and was the first to step onto the Martial Arts Arena.
Soon, the highly anticipated “Empress vs. Empress” battle finally began!
…
On the Martial Arts Arena.
The match was about to start, but Chu Sheng was still lazing on Gu Yuexi’s head, showing no intention of transforming into his evolved form.
He buzzed,
“BZZT (Hehe, I’ll sit this one out. You two girls have fun.)”
That’s right, Chu Sheng didn’t plan on getting involved. He would just let Gu Yuexi handle it herself.
He leisurely shifted into a more comfortable position, ready to enjoy the show.
Gu Yuexi pursed her lips but said nothing. After all, she was already a rather unconventional Beast Tamer.
Meanwhile,
Su Yingxue had already revealed her Cultivation Realm, and a vast wave of Mental Power erupted from her body!
“Holy crap, that aura! Is that the Fifth-Grade Realm?”
“When the hell did Su Yingxue reach Fifth-Grade? She’s only a freshman! A Fifth-Grade freshman!”
“I remember she was at the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage not long ago. Was she hiding her true strength?”
Feeling this aura, another wave of gasps erupted from the audience.
Reaching Fifth-Grade as a freshman, and the Peak of Fifth-Grade at that!
Her talent was truly the best of the best!
The scales in everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but tip a little more in her favor.
Gu Yuexi felt Su Yingxue’s aura and frowned slightly.
The Peak of Fifth-Grade Realm was indeed a bit surprising.
However, it was only a surprise.
With a thought, a magnificent suit of Battle Armor, shimmering with a dark golden light, instantly covered her entire body!
It was none other than the Empress Battle Armor!
Clad in the Battle Armor, Gu Yuexi’s entire demeanor underwent another earth-shattering change.
Amidst her cold aloofness, there was now a trace of the domineering might and majesty of a sovereign ruling the world, as if a true Empress had descended upon the mortal realm!
At this, everyone’s attention was once again drawn to Gu Yuexi.
Many were left completely stunned.
“What the hell! What is that? Th-that’s so badass!”
“Battle Armor? A Spiritual Artifact? I have to say, at this moment, this Gu Yuexi really looks like a true Empress.”
“Mommy, mommy…”
Many students were floored by how cool she looked, completely captivated by the sight.
At this moment, Su Yingxue seemed to pale in comparison before Gu Yuexi!
But soon, someone snapped out of their shock and sneered,
“What’s the use of looking cool? It’s just for show! Look at her aura, she’s Fourth-Grade at most. She’s definitely going to get crushed by Sister Su, who’s at the Peak of Fifth-Grade!”
“Yeah, what stupid Battle Armor. Isn’t this Gu Yuexi a Beast Tamer? Why isn’t she summoning her Contracted Beast instead of pulling all this flashy stuff?”
“Her Contracted Beast seems to be a mosquito. It only has Spatial Teleportation and no combat ability.”
“Huh? A mosquito?”
“A Contracted Beast that can’t fight? Can you even call that a Beast Tamer?”
Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, especially doubting Gu Yuexi for contracting a mosquito as her beast,
Su Yingxue made the first move on the Martial Arts Arena!
She had to seize the initiative!
However, in the next second, the outcome defied everyone’s expectations!
What awaited Su Yingxue wasn’t victory, but a complete and utter… thrashing!
Her Mental Power Attacks were indeed fierce and imposing, appearing incredibly powerful.
But,
before Gu Yuexi, they were as crude as a three-year-old’s doodles.
No matter how she attacked, Gu Yuexi easily neutralized her efforts with far more exquisite and High-Level methods.
In the domain of Mental Power control, Gu Yuexi, with the experience of an Empress from a past life, was on the level of a grandmaster!
Therefore, even though Su Yingxue, at the Peak of Fifth-Grade, surpassed Gu Yuexi in raw Mental Power, she couldn’t do a single thing to her.
Instead, her face had turned pale from the massive consumption of Mental Power!
At the same time, after taking a few of Su Yingxue’s moves, Gu Yuexi was growing impatient.
She didn’t have time to waste here.
She looked at Su Yingxue and said coolly,
“That’s about enough. Time to end this!”
As her voice fell, the Empress Battle Armor lit up with a HUM.
She slowly raised her hand, and a Sword of Realm rapidly materialized in front of her palm!
A terrifying, destructive aura instantly enveloped the entire Martial Arts Arena. Targeted by the Sword of Realm, Su Yingxue’s expression changed drastically.
The next second, SWISH! The Sword of Realm shot out, carrying an incomparably sharp aura as it sped toward Su Yingxue!
Su Yingxue’s pupils contracted violently!
Gritting her teeth, she frantically channeled all her Mental Power, layering defenses in front of her!
One Secret Technique Barrier after another formed before her.
But it was no use!
The Sword of Realm effortlessly tore through all her defenses. The Secret Technique Barriers shattered one by one, like panes of glass!
Below the arena, everyone watching this scene even forgot to breathe.
On the arena, Su Yingxue was horrified, retreating again and again!
Just as she retreated to the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, she abruptly raised her hand, and a Jade Bracelet appeared on her wrist.
The Jade Bracelet instantly burst with a clear light, forming a green barrier in front of her. This was her final defense: the full-power Defense from an Earth-tier Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact!
HUM!
The instant the barrier formed, the Sword of Realm slammed into it!
The Sword of Realm was continuously dissolving, but the barrier’s green light was also constantly weakening.
This time! The green barrier held!
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
However, it only held for three seconds!
CRACK!
On the fourth second, the Jade Bracelet on Su Yingxue’s wrist shattered, and the green barrier broke apart at the same time.
The remnant of the Sword of Realm, still carrying immense power, flew toward the spot between Su Yingxue’s eyebrows.
’It’s over!’
Below the arena, the crowd watched with extreme nervousness, their hearts sinking.
’It’s over!’
On the arena,
Su Yingxue felt the same way. Facing the incoming Sword of Realm, she had no more defenses and could only subconsciously close her eyes.
However, the fatal blow she expected never came.
Only a humming sound echoed continuously in front of her.
Su Yingxue froze for a moment, then cautiously opened her eyes.
She was stunned to see the terrifying, transparent Sword Intent hovering and spinning just a few centimeters from the spot between her eyebrows.
A full ten seconds later, the Sword of Realm finally dissipated slowly.
Su Yingxue’s heart relaxed, and her body went limp, causing her to collapse onto the ground.
At the same time, Gu Yuexi’s cool voice rang out:
“Let’s leave it at that.”
“Your talent is decent. Just focus on your Cultivation from now on, and don’t come bothering me.”
