Chapter 268: Chapter 265: Taming the Hawk! Coiling Her Hair

"Not even half an incense stick has passed! You useless thing, get out of the way and let someone else try!"

The Sect Master’s furious voice exploded in Xi Xing’s ears, snapping her out of her daze.

Her eyes, which once reflected the moon in the left and held a star in the right due to her cultivation of the *Yin-Yang Mating Art*, had now completely changed form.

They had turned into two pink hearts.

’Half an incense stick? It’s been less than half an incense stick.’

Looking at the unscathed young man, Xi Xing, who had just come to her senses, was in disbelief. Not even fifteen minutes had passed!

After experiencing the terrifying extent of Fang Can’s power, she knew she would lose quickly.

’I might not have been able to use my full power, but how could I fail to last even half an incense stick?’

’I didn’t even get to use my Suxin Sect’s signature technique, and I was defeated just like that?’

’How shameful. This is unacceptable.’

The gazes of her peers felt like daggers stabbing into her heart. From now on, she would probably never be able to shake the label of "the useless woman."

For a cultivator of the Suxin Sect, a swift defeat is a cardinal sin.

’So I really am this pathetic!’

The young woman sensed her cultivation level and was stunned to discover that this short period—less than half an incense stick—had been more beneficial than several days of arduous training.

’And I didn’t even get to refine the purest essence energy.’

At the same time, a single red tally mark faintly glowed on her body.

’I even received the buff from the Lascivious God’s Curse! My power has doubled for a day!’

’And that feeling of my cultivation soaring... I want to experience it again!’

At this thought, Xi Xing fell to her knees and pleaded:

"Sect Master, I just wasn’t ready. Please, give me another chance to prove myself."

"Get lost!" the Sect Master said coldly.

"Sect Master, please let me try again. Let me prove myself," Xi Xing pleaded.

It was hard to say how much of her plea was to prove herself, and how much was simply a desire to go for another round.

"Hmph. Don’t be so disappointed, Sister Xi Xing. There are advantages to being quick, you know. Allow me to avenge you!"

An alluring voice sounded in Xi Xing’s ear. It was one of her fellow elders, one who she didn’t get along with. Now that Xi Xing had made a complete fool of herself, this elder was kicking her while she was down.

"Fine. Since Xi Xing is useless, Yuexi, you’re up."

As the Sect Master spoke, she shot a vicious glare at Xi Xing. She had promised to broadcast Fang Can’s humiliation to the entire world in a hundred billion copies.

But instead, her own Suxin Sect elder was the first to fall. It was an utter disgrace.

The Sect Master was lost in thought when Yuexi’s scream, which had started up after she took over, abruptly stopped.

Meanwhile, an expressionless Fang Can slowly pushed himself up from the floor, his eyes filled with innocence.

’Yuexi lasted for an even shorter time than Xi Xing.’ The Sect Master stared at the unscathed Fang Can, utterly aghast.

Seeming to notice her gaze, Fang Can calmly spread his hands in a gesture of innocence, as if to say, *It’s not my fault your Suxin Sect disciples are so weak.*

’Humiliating! This is an unprecedented humiliation!’

The Sect Master looked at the young man before her, seething with a rage that banished all trace of her former languor.

She felt that the reputation of her Suxin Sect had been gravely damaged.

"What are you all gawking at?! Are you trying to give him a chance to rest? Get up there, now!!!"

the Sect Master commanded in a cold, exasperated voice.

"Yes!"

"Useless! You’re all a bunch of useless trash!"

She flung her sleeve, and the gauze curtains in the hall shredded at the motion. "Were all the Sect’s teachings fed to the dogs!"

The effect of this trait was to keep Fang Can’s health perpetually at maximum.

The faster his health dropped, the faster it regenerated.

This minor drain on him was barely a warm-up. He felt like he’d recovered faster after breaking his own leg.

So now, with an ability that restored his Realm by the exact amount it was drained, Fang Can managed to maintain a perpetual, perfect peak state.

As a result, after more than an hour of this, Fang Can’s power hadn’t decreased at all. In fact, it had even increased slightly.

"Um... if this really isn’t working out, maybe you shouldn’t make things so hard on them."

Fang Can leaned against a pillar and tried to reason with them. "You know, I’ve kept track. The average is two minutes. Your disciples’ performance is actually on the better side."

"You’re quite pleased with yourself, aren’t you?"

The Sect Master snorted. She gathered her loose hair and tied it up, then strode firmly toward Fang Can. "If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll really start thinking you’re invincible."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you’re a Fourth Turn expert! Is such a huge sacrifice really necessary...?"

Fang Can subconsciously shrank back.

The surrounding disciples were also taken aback by their leader’s actions and hurriedly tried to dissuade her. "Sect Master, please reconsider!"

"Sect Master, you are a venerable Fourth Turn expert! Don’t risk having your cultivation crippled just to prove a point!"

"Exactly, Master! If someone has to be crippled, let this Disciple do it in your stead," a young woman in a red dress offered with earnest consideration.

...

Their pleas still ringing in her ears, the Sect Master said coldly, "Who said anything about crippling my cultivation for his sake? I haven’t lost my mind!"

The Sect Master crouched down, her figure graceful. Their eyes met, and she spoke in a chilling voice,

"My name is Yan Chqing. Remember it. It’s the name of the one who will defeat you."

Meanwhile, Liu Qingmeng was listening to the latest update on Fang Can. "You’re saying Fang Can has been taken away by the Inversion Sect?"

Listening to her subordinate’s report, Liu Qingmeng’s brow furrowed. Her waterfall of blue hair swayed as a feeling of unease grew in her heart.

’Didn’t Fang Can’s superpowered friends go to help him?’

’Why would he be taken away by the Inversion Sect?’

At this thought, she began to wonder if she should make a trip to the Inversion Sect herself.
