Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Disciples Who Want to Defy Their Master

So Xiao Yue could rest assured!

"Forget it. I only came to the training grounds to take a look. I had no intention of making a move."

She had seen enough, and there was really nothing worth seeing. Xiao Yue had lost interest, so it was better to leave directly.

She had already obtained what she needed. Next, Uncle should properly guide her.

After that, she could probably attempt to break through to the Dou Zhe realm and leave her peers far behind.

"If you're unwilling to compete with Cousin Xiao Ning, how about competing with me?"

The crowd suddenly fell silent as a charming young girl in red stepped out from among them.

As the two locked eyes, the people around them immediately grew excited.

Two beauties fighting hand-to-hand—just the thought of it was exceptionally thrilling.

If they really fought, they might even get to see some unexpected sights.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at their figures was already a feast for the eyes.

At that thought, the gazes of most of the boys around them turned fiery.

Xiao Yue raised a brow but ultimately chose to refuse.

"Forget it. I'm really not interested in sparring."

If their strengths were evenly matched, Xiao Yue might have had some interest. But against someone weaker than herself, whose fighting techniques were also inferior to hers, she truly had no interest at all.

"Are you scared?"

"Everyone said you've been leaving early and returning late these past few days, training hard. Was all that fake?"

"You've trained for so long, so why don't you dare show us what you can do?"

"If that's not enough, I'll let you use a weapon while I fight empty-handed. That should be fine, right?"

Hmph, so what if she was pretty? If her strength was lacking, she was still nothing!

As long as she defeated Xiao Yue later, she, Xiao Mei, would still be better than Xiao Yue!

Xiao Mei only wanted to provoke Xiao Yue into fighting, then defeat her in public and thoroughly humiliate her.

Why should someone so selfish receive the boys' affection? Why should she get their attention?

She didn't deserve it!!!

Xiao Yue turned away. She did not want to argue with Xiao Mei over such pointless things.

"What, are you chickening out?"

"Your Third Brother is useless, and now you're useless too?"

"Is your whole family full of trash?"

She had already been provoked like this, yet she still did not dare to fight? Was she really that useless?

She was at least at the Sixth Stage of Fighting Qi. Why was she being such a coward?

Xiao Mei continued shouting.

She kept dancing on the edge of disaster.

"Fine. If you want to compete, then I'll compete with you properly!"

Silence did not mean fear!

She did not want trouble, but that did not mean she was afraid of it!

Insulting her was one thing, but Xiao Mei had to drag her Third Brother and her entire family into it. If she did not teach this girl a lesson, she would be letting herself down!

"If you want to fight, then come on."

Xiao Yue said this lightly, then leaped onto the challenge platform.

"Hm?"

Xiao Mei, who had been arrogant just moments ago, suddenly froze. Her lips twitched, and the amusement in her eyes turned into ridicule as she muttered, "A Sixth Stage of Fighting Qi cultivator dares to act so arrogantly? I'll teach her how to behave in a moment."

Xiao Mei sprang into the air and lightly swung herself forward. The next second, she too appeared atop the challenge platform.

Xiao Yue reached out and picked up a wooden staff from the edge of the platform. Gripping one end tightly, she stared at Xiao Mei and said coldly, "I won't take advantage of you, but I won't be holding back either!"

"If you want to use a weapon, then just use one. Why make such a show of it? When you lose later, don't use not being used to the weapon as an excuse."

Xiao Mei could not help but sneer.

She was merely at the Sixth Stage of Fighting Qi, yet her tone was so arrogant. Who exactly did she think she was looking down on?

She really did not take Xiao Mei seriously at all.

Later, Xiao Mei would definitely give Xiao Yue a good beating and let her know her place.

Just because she was beautiful did not mean everyone would go easy on her!

Beauty gave no bonus to strength!

Xiao Yue gave Xiao Mei a cold glance and said, "Let's begin."

After saying that, Xiao Yue quietly studied her opponent, wanting to see what Xiao Mei was truly capable of.

Her tone was so arrogant, but Xiao Yue wondered how many of her moves Xiao Mei would be able to withstand.

As they watched the people on the stage, everyone around them fell silent.

Two great beauties were dueling. Who should they support?

One was lively, the other charming. Each had her own appeal.

Looking at Xiao Yue's relaxed expression, Xiao Mei suddenly felt a faint trace of nervousness.

Her opponent was so confident. Could she have some exceptional trick up her sleeve?

Impossible. I'm the strongest!

Xiao Mei immediately reassured herself.

"Falling Rain Palm!"

A faint layer of fighting qi gathered around Xiao Mei's hands. She took a deep breath, stomped the ground, and charged at Xiao Yue.

Facing the incoming attack, Xiao Yue merely shifted to the side and avoided it directly.

During the past few days of training, she had carried a greatsword on her back every day. For the first two days, she could only carry it, but over the next two days, she had already been able to walk with it on her back. In the end, she could even run while carrying it.

Her speed had improved greatly.

To her, the attack before her was simply too slow. She could dodge it effortlessly, without the slightest challenge.

Seeing Xiao Yue evade her attack, Xiao Mei frowned. She had not expected her opponent to be so fast.

No wonder she had spoken so arrogantly earlier.

But so what?

Xiao Mei continued striking with her palms as the distance between them steadily closed. Fighting qi gathered in her hand once more, and the next second, her palm swung toward Xiao Yue's face.

She was trying to hit her in the face?

How could Xiao Yue tolerate that?

She immediately raised her staff, and in the next instant, struck Xiao Mei's wrist.

With another burst of force, she drove the staff straight into Xiao Mei's shoulder.

Back and forth, the duel between them grew increasingly fierce!

Chapter 47: The Duel Ends

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? How are the two of them evenly matched? And Xiao Yue even seems to have the upper hand?"

"I think Xiao Yue seems a little stronger too, but isn't she only at the Sixth Stage of Fighting Qi? Why does she look so at ease fighting Xiao Mei, who's at Qi Cultivation Stage Seven?"

"Xiao Yue is too strong, isn't she? How did she do it?"

"I'm only curious about what realm she's at now."

Watching the two exchange blows on the challenge platform, the people around them found it hard to believe.

Why had the formerly unremarkable Xiao Yue, in such a short time, not only become so beautiful but also grown so powerful?

What unknown event had taken place in between?

Now, everyone's attention was no longer focused solely on the two girls' appearances, but also on their strength.

They all wanted to know what Xiao Yue had done and why her strength had improved so quickly.

Compared to beauty, strength was still more important.

A few minutes later, Xiao Mei was panting heavily, and the places where she had been struck by the staff ached terribly.

As for Xiao Yue, her expression had not changed in the slightest. She was not even breathing hard.

Her posture remained graceful, her delicate little face as calm as ever. She simply looked at Xiao Mei in silence, a teasing smile on her lips.

"Damn it, what is going on?"

Xiao Mei gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out and her eyes blazing as though she wanted to burn the enemy before her to ashes.

Her chest rose and fell violently, though it was unclear whether from exhaustion or anger.

She could not understand why Xiao Yue could block her moves.

Why was she performing so powerfully now?

Judging by how effortless she looked, was she playing with her?
