Sparring with Fan Xinglu

—Wu Xiaohui

Also known as "Overlord Star Lord".

Second in the ranking of the Jielong Seventh Academy, Fan Xinglu's top disciple brought from outside when she came to the Realm Dragon three years ago. In terms of martial arts, she is above Zhao Hufeng, and in terms of Star Immortal Technique, she also surpasses Cecily.

Because she usually cultivates deep within the Huangchen Hall, Wu Xiaohui rarely shows her face in public. Apart from Fan Xinglu, even her fellow disciples Cecily and Zhao Hufeng don't know how long it has been since they've seen their senior brother.

So Cecily and Zhao Hufeng stepped forward at the same time and clasped their hands in greeting to Wu Xiaohui.

"Senior Brother."

They bowed in unison, only to be met with a slight nod from Wu Xiaohui, a response that was utterly indifferent.

No, that's not indifference, it's dullness.

Do not have any feelings about anything.

They do not pay attention to any existence.

Like a high monk who has no desires or wants, or the purest child, everything in the world seems to be just a part of "nature" in his eyes, and his eyes are frighteningly clear.

For a fleeting moment, Fang Li even had a feeling that this person might not even exist.

This feeling made Fang Li frown slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"A doll..."

That's right.

It looked just like a doll.

However, Fang Li's words shocked both Cecily and Zhao Hufeng.

"Junior brother?"

"What are you saying? How dare you be so rude to your senior brother!"

Following Cecily's confusion and Zhao Hufeng's anger, Fan Xinglu burst into laughter.

"A doll?" Fan Xinglu didn't even glance at Wu Xiaohui, and said with a happy yet hurtful tone, "It's really rare that you could see through this child's true nature at a glance. You're absolutely right."

"Master?" Cecily and Zhao Hufeng were immediately surprised and confused.

Because Fan Xinglu's words were really hurtful, weren't they?

Generally speaking, who would talk about their disciple like that?

On the contrary, Wu Xiaohui herself seemed not to have heard Fang Li and Fan Xinglu's words at all. She stood there quietly, her expression unchanged from beginning to end, and her eyes did not waver at all.

Until Fan Xinglu said this.

"Let me introduce you, Xiaohui." Fan Xinglu pointed at Fang Li and said in a childish yet mature tone, "This is your junior brother. He has been my disciple for less than half a year, but in terms of strength, he is in no way inferior to Hu Feng and Cecily. If he were to use his full power, even you would not be his match, would you?"

These words finally elicited a reaction from Wu Xiaohui, who raised her head and looked at Fang Li.

However, his overly dull gaze remained unchanged, to the point of being somewhat frighteningly honest.

"As for Xiaohui, I don't think I need to introduce him to you, do I?" Fan Xinglu turned her gaze to Fang Li, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she suddenly said, "This is a rare opportunity. I was just about to verify Xiaohui's achievements these days. You can all come and watch the battle."

"Watch the battle?" Cecily and Zhao Hufeng were slightly taken aback at first, then their eyes lit up.

Fang Li's heart stirred, and he understood Fan Xinglu's meaning.

Fan Xinglu is planning to spar with Wu Xiaohui.

This was already known among Fan Xinglu's disciples.

In the entire Realm Dragon, Wu Xiaohui is the only one who can spar with Fan Xinglu.

Therefore, everyone knows that this senior brother, who never shows his face in public, possesses extremely powerful strength.

However, Fan Xinglu and Wu Xiaohui have never practiced in front of others, nor have they allowed any disciples to watch.

Therefore, no one knows the extent to which Fan Xinglu and Wu Xiaohui's sparring had progressed.

Now that Fan Xinglu has suddenly allowed her disciples to watch the battle from the sidelines, how could Cecily and Zhao Hufeng not be excited?

Only Fang Li keenly noticed it.

When the topic of sparring with Wu Xiaohui came up, Fan Xinglu's expression became somewhat listless.

This is an incredibly incredible thing.

For Fan Xinglu, fighting is the only thing in this world that she cherishes, and it could even be said to be the meaning of her existence.

As long as there is an opponent, no matter how weak they are, Fan Xinglu will feel happy.

Of course, the stronger the opponent, the happier Fan Xinglu is.

Since Wu Xiaohui is considered the only one capable of sparring with Fan Xinglu, her level as an opponent must be sufficient.

Given this, with Fan Xinglu's personality, she should be overjoyed, so why does she feel even more bored?

Neither Cecily nor Zhao Hufeng were aware of this.

Wu Xiaohui stood there quietly as always, like a real doll, without showing any emotion.

Fang Li immediately fell into a deep thought.

"If I remember correctly..."

Fang Li, knew why Fan Xinglu behaved this way.

However, without seeing it with his own eyes, Fang Li didn't know what the situation was.

"This is a rare opportunity; we should definitely watch it..."

The Huangchen Hall is located between the Xuanwu Palace and the Xuanwu Palace.

In this training room filled with countless stone pillars, Fan Xinglu and Wu Xiaohui were facing off against each other.

Beside them, Cecily and Zhao Hufeng seemed to have eliminated their presence, remaining in the shadows, their gazes fixed ahead.

Fang Li also stayed there, gazing ahead, silently waiting for the showdown between Fan Xinglu and Wu Xiaohui.

"Alright," Fan Xinglu to Wu Xiaohui across from her.

"Just keep attacking as much as you can."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaohui met Fan Xinglu's gaze, gave a slight fist salute, and then lowered her hands.

At that moment, Wu Xiaohui's aura completely changed.

The Star Pulse Energy surrounding her circulated slightly, but did not explode all at once. Instead, it covered Wu Xiaohui's body outline like a halo.

Under these circumstances, Wu Xiaohui's aura did not expand; instead, it seemed to merge with nature, making her aura ethereal and intangible.

This performance alone made Fang Li look at him with new respect.

"This Wu Xiaohui is indeed extraordinary..."

Hearing Fang Li's whisper, Wu Xiaohui quietly moved.

Silent and stealthy, like a ferocious beast suddenly unleashed, he shifted his feet abruptly, his figure darting out, and in an instant, he was in front of Fan Xinglu.

And so, Wu Xiaohui delivered an unremarkable palm strike to Fan Xinglu in front of her.

This palm strike was neither fast nor slow.

Therefore, Fan Xinglu simply raised one hand to block it.

The next second, something incredible happened.

"Bang—!"

A muffled thud, like an explosion, resounded from Wu Xiaohui's palm that had struck Fan Xinglu, creating a powerful shockwave that shook the entire air.

That seemingly ordinary blow was surprisingly heavy.
