The Crown Princess's Failed Breakthrough

Ning Qingxuan heard Lin Zhen's words and only thought he was bragging, completely missing the deeper meaning. With her sword in hand, she launched a fierce attack.

Lin Zhen had resolved not to let Ning Qingxuan succeed within ten seconds. Wielding his Long Spear, he defended with Immovable as a Mountain as the two clashed like lightning.

Without using Star Power Transfer or taking a Divine Power Pill, Lin Zhen finally realized just how vast the gap between him and Ning Qingxuan was.

Her first sword strike knocked aside Lin Zhen's Mountain Shattering Long Spear, and her second lashed across his waist.

Two moves, and Lin Zhen was defeated. Not even a second had passed.

Ning Qingxuan sent Lin Zhen sprawling face-first across the ground. The gloom she had been carrying these past few days was thoroughly released, and she giggled. "Oh my! Weren't you supposed to be amazing? You're already done after two moves."

Lin Zhen lay on the ground with his face darkened. Did this Crown Princess not know how much of a provocation such words were to a man?

No, he had to endure three moves!

He sprang up from the ground like a coiled spring, and the two clashed once more.

A flash of sword light swept before his eyes, followed by a kick to his abdomen. Lin Zhen was sent flying again.

Still two moves!

Lin Zhen was deeply unwilling to accept it. His 2.8 million Star Power might not compare to Ning Qingxuan's, but could he really not even withstand three moves?

Again!

There was no concept of time within the shattered space. Who knew how long they fought? Lin Zhen desperately blocked left and right, withstanding two consecutive strikes from Ning Qingxuan before finally taking a blow and falling!

"Huff! I'm exhausted!"
