Chapter 294: The Forbidden Technique Within a Forbidden Technique, Mu Chen’s Sinister Plot
Chapter 294: Chapter 294: The Forbidden Technique Within a Forbidden Technique, Mu Chen’s Sinister Plot
The entire hall fell deathly silent.
This silence lasted for several seconds before being shattered by a tsunami-like uproar!
’Gu Yuexi won?’
’With just one move? One sword strike?’
’Is the battle for the Future Empress over?’
That sword strike from Gu Yuexi!
She had used it in Sui Ming Province and on Hong Kong Island. Now, for the first time, she had unleashed it in Kyoto.
Every time, countless people were left stunned by it.
And at this moment, the chosen prodigies in the Kyoto Martial Arts Dojo were no different.
“Too strong! She’s just too strong!”
“That Sword of Realm, formed from Mental Power just now, was unbelievably powerful!”
A well-informed fourth-year student explained with a trembling voice, as if he had just witnessed a miracle.
“If I’m not mistaken, that sword fused at least four… no, five completely different offensive Realms, all of which had reached the Great Perfection Realm!”
Indeed.
It was precisely because everyone present was a prodigy that they could discern the profundity of that strike far better than an ordinary person, and thus, their shock was far greater!
Even for Jingda Students, comprehending a single Great Perfection Realm as a freshman was enough to be called a Top Notch prodigy.
But just now, Gu Yuexi had not only instantly unleashed five different Great Perfection Realms, but she had also fused them together perfectly!
’This… is she even human?’
’Perhaps this is something only the true Future Empress could accomplish.’
At that moment, everyone sincerely acknowledged Gu Yuexi’s status as the Future Empress.
“Damn it, I’m starting to believe it now. That Five Stars Broken Army Medal on her shoulder… it might actually be real!”
“It was always real. We were just too ignorant to know.”
“The battle for the Future Empress… it seems it’s already over.”
“Heh, I don’t think Gu Yuexi even wanted to compete. Su Yingxue was the one who came to her and issued the challenge.”
“Sigh, Su Yingxue is already very strong. Unfortunately for her, she ran into a true Future Empress!”
…
The murmurs of the crowd were like countless red-hot steel needles, stabbing viciously into Su Yingxue’s ears.
Stabbing into her heart.
Stabbing into the deepest part of her soul!
Humiliation!
Unprecedented humiliation!
Ever since she was a child, hadn’t she, Su Yingxue, always been the center of attention, placed on a pedestal by all?
She was the hope of her family, the pride of Jing University, the Future Empress destined to reach the Peak in the eyes of countless people!
But now?
Everything she took pride in had been shattered by a single blow from this woman named Gu Yuexi! Utterly demolished!
The looks of flattery and adoration she once received had now turned to pity, sympathy, and even… casual mockery!
She could endure all of that!
But what she found most unbearable were the words Gu Yuexi had said before leaving—
“Let’s leave it at that. Keep up your Cultivation. Your talent is decent enough. Just don’t bother me again.”
’What was that tone?’
’Was that an elder lecturing a junior? A superior bestowing charity upon a subordinate?’
’Does she, Su Yingxue, need her approval?!’
’On what grounds?!’
’Who do you think you are, speaking to me in that tone!’
A crazed thought, a mixture of jealousy, resentment, and venomous hatred, sprouted like a weed from the darkest corner of her heart, instantly consuming all her rationality!
’Win!’
’I have to win!’
’No matter the method, no matter the cost, I will tear that aloof expression off your face and grind you under my heel!’
’That’s right! That Secret Technique!’
’Mu Chen!’
The thought echoed in her mind like a demon’s whisper.
There was still a portion of the Mental Power that Mu Chen had sacrificed to her through the Soul Fusion and Divine Lodging Technique that she hadn’t used!
According to Mu Chen, this Mental Power was divided into two parts.
The first part could allow her to raise her realm without any side effects.
The second part, however, required a special Secret Technique he had taught her to activate.
Once activated, her strength would increase explosively in a short period!
Su Yingxue was no fool. She had an instinct that there was something wrong with that Secret Technique, so she had sealed the second portion of Mental Power deep within her Sea of Consciousness, with no intention of ever using it.
But now…
She couldn’t worry about that anymore!
’Today, I, Su Yingxue, will be the one who wins!’
“AHHH—!!!”
Su Yingxue shot up from the ground, letting out a shriek filled with boundless madness!
BOOM!!!
A terrifying spiritual pressure, several times—no, dozens of times—stronger than before, erupted from her body!
The air inside the entire Martial Arts Hall froze in that instant!
Her realm began to skyrocket as if strapped to a rocket!
The bottleneck of the Peak of Fifth-Grade was instantly shattered!
Sixth-Grade Early Stage!
Sixth-Grade Middle Stage!
Peak of Sixth-Grade!
However, it didn’t stop there!
Before everyone’s horrified eyes, her aura surged once more, violently crashing through the invisible barrier!
Seventh-Grade!!!
The terrifying pressure of the Seventh-Grade Realm descended like an invisible mountain, weighing down on the heart of every single person present!
…
「At the same time.」
Several kilometers away from the Martial Arts Hall, inside a dim, ordinary dormitory room.
“PTUI—!”
A young man with a haggard face, looking as if he had aged thirty years in an instant, violently spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood, staining the floor in front of him a shocking crimson.
It was Mu Chen!
The Soul Fusion and Divine Lodging Technique didn’t just burn his spiritual Cultivation; it also burned his already meager Life Origin!
With his level of Cultivation, even if he burned it all away, it would have been impossible to force Su Yingxue’s realm to Seventh-Grade. But he was mad. He had spared no expense, using the most insidious Forbidden Technique within the Soul Fusion and Divine Lodging Technique to convert his own Life Force into the purest Spiritual Origin and inject it into Su Yingxue’s Sea of Consciousness.
All of it was in preparation for this very moment!
The sliver of his Divine Thought lodged deep within Su Yingxue’s Sea of Consciousness could clearly feel it. Su Yingxue… had finally used that Secret Technique!
“Heh… hehehehe…”
Mu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a twisted, triumphant smile spreading across his face. His eyes were filled with the frenzied glee of impending revenge.
’Gu Yuexi… you’re dead!’
’Once this stupid woman cripples you, I’ll seize the opportunity to take her body… and then, I’ll make you suffer the cruelest torture in the world!’
’I’ll make it so you can neither live nor die!’
…
Inside the Martial Arts Dojo.
On the Martial Arts Arena.
The Martial Arts Hall, on the Martial Arts Arena.
After surging to the Seventh-Grade Early Stage, Su Yingxue’s aura finally stabilized.
However, at this moment, she seemed to have become a completely different person.
Her eyes were no longer clear, but had been replaced by a sinister, blood-red color.
Sensing the change in Su Yingxue’s aura, Gu Yuexi, who had been about to step down from the arena, paused.
Chu Sheng also flew out from Gu Yuexi’s hair.
“BZZZ.”
’Heh, it looks like Lord Mosquito… has no choice but to make a move today.’
