Give You a Chance to Show What You Can Do

"Dare hit Xiao Xiao and Qing Tian? Get her!"

"You're asking for it—!!!"

Fists, feet, elbows, and knees tore through the air with whistling force as more than a dozen attacks closed in on Li Wei from every direction.

You want to gang up on me, huh?

Li Wei's temper flared as well. Her right hand went straight to the clasp at her waist, ready to draw her sword.

The instant her fingers touched the cold hilt, though, she paused.

No! If someone dies, that'll be trouble...

A private brawl was one thing—I'll take the punishment—but killing someone was going too far.

Her thoughts raced. Her fingers slid away, and she pressed her right index and middle fingers together. Her blood and qi surged along a special path, instantly rushing to her fingertips!

Buzz—

A nearly inaudible hum sounded, and a cold smile curled across Li Wei's lips.

The next second, she gave a light kick. Those troublesome little heels flew into the air, and she smoothly caught them with her left hand, carrying them in her grip.

Then, barefoot, with her little snow-white feet exposed, her entire body abruptly became a blurry white shadow.

Too fast!

The boy charging at the very front only saw a flash of white before she vanished.

Then a cold, piercing pain struck beneath his ribs.

"Urgh—ah!"

The agony blackened his vision. Half his body instantly went numb, and he crumpled to the ground like a limp noodle.

After striking one person, Li Wei did not stop. She flicked her foot backward, her delicate heel seeming to lightly tap another boy's shin.

The boy let out a muffled groan, spun once in midair, and landed butt-first on the ground.

Using the rebound, her figure vanished once more.

"Ah—!"

"Ow~"

Two students trying to flank her from the sides failed to dodge in time and slammed hard into each other, blood and tears flying together from their noses.

Tch, what a bunch of rookies!

Li Wei's figure drifted unpredictably, like a white butterfly weaving through a crowd. She always slipped away the instant before an attack landed.

Even stranger, her movements were clearly broad and sweeping, yet she made almost no sound. Only the faint rush of air stirred by her skirt could be heard.

The students of Tengxiang Martial Arts University shouted in panic, desperately trying to surround her, but they could not even catch her shadow.

Time and again, they would just lock onto her, their fists not even reaching her yet, when she disappeared. Instead, they often ended up hitting their own people.

Another boy was struck at the back of the neck. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

A girl throwing a punch beside him had her wrist tapped once. She cried out, "Ow!" and squatted down while clutching it.

Li Wei held two fingers together like a sword, sometimes striking acupoints, sometimes cutting at veins, sometimes slapping joints.

She used no killing moves—only exquisite techniques of force and precise strikes at the body's weak points.

Numbing tendons, knockout points, points of exertion...

Every time she struck, a Tengxiang student lost the ability to fight.

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen people were already lying on the ground!

The people waiting for the assessment nearby had long since been dumbfounded.

At first, they had thought Tengxiang Martial Arts University was throwing its weight around and bullying others.

Who could have imagined that, in the blink of an eye, the situation would completely reverse?

That beauty everyone had been silently criticizing for her outfit just moments ago was actually chasing dozens of martial arts university students around and beating them by herself!

Those Tengxiang students were all First Order Skin Membrane Realm martial artists. A few of the strongest had even reached the Second Order Sinew Bone Realm!

They simply did not have the corresponding rank identities because they had not yet passed the assessment!

"Holy shit! Wh-what kind of movement technique is that?!"

"So fast! I can't see her at all!"

"She's hitting way too hard. A few bones must be broken, right?"

"They deserve it! The Tengxiang lot came in and started grabbing spots, acting like tyrants. Looks like they've finally kicked an iron plate!"

"I recorded it, I recorded it! I have to post this on Moments!"

"I recorded it too! This girl is badass!"

"Girl, please repost it!"

After a brief uproar, the assessment candidates watching from the sidelines tacitly retreated together, clearing out a huge open space in the middle, terrified of getting caught up in it.

Quite a few people came to their senses and pulled out their phones, aiming them at the white figure slaughtering all around the arena as they began recording.

At the same time, behind the Tengxiang students, a tall, dark-skinned male student shouted sharply.

"Form up! Use the combined attack formation!"

The remaining twenty-odd students who could still move hurriedly gathered together upon hearing the command, intending to put some distance between themselves first.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Li Wei gave a sharp cry, pushed off with her foot, and chased after them as she fought.

Her white figure left behind streaks of illusory afterimages, flickering like a ghost.

Finger Sword danced through the air, icy intent chilling to the bone!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Like wheat being cut down, the Tengxiang students fell one after another. Some clutched their injured spots and howled in pain; others simply passed out cleanly.

Seven or eight seconds later, most of the more than forty people who had arrived so aggressively were lying flat on the ground.

Only three cowardly ones remained. They had not dared to make a move earlier, and now their faces had gone pale with fright. They kept shrinking back, wishing they could rip the school badges off their chests on the spot.

Li Wei caught up to the last tall student who had been shouting orders, knocked him down with a single finger, and planted her little foot on his chest before finally stopping.

She shook her slightly numb fingers, then looked around and realized that the people surrounding her were enthusiastically filming with their phones held high.

Her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly, without drawing attention to it, smoothed out her slightly disheveled hair, and her expression turned cool and aloof.

Heh, they were filming too? Fine then—watch your angles, everyone.

Though it was a tiny, tiny bit different from what she had expected, well... she had still achieved the goal of showing off, hehe.

But why did it feel like something was missing? The mood was a little off...

After pondering for a long while, the face of a famous director from her previous life suddenly popped into her mind.

"Ahem!"

She cleared her throat, straightened her back, deliberately drew out her words, and shouted in an unbearably smug tone:

"Who—else—is—there—?!"

Her clear, spring-like voice echoed through the entire waiting area, frightening one "surviving" Tengxiang female student so badly that her legs gave out and she dropped straight to the floor.

Just as Li Wei was pleased with the effect, a powerful voice, sonorous as a great bell, suddenly rang out from the entrance to the waiting area.

"Oh? That's quite the big talk. Fine, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

Who was that?

Li Wei sharply turned her head to look.

A middle-aged man in a dark teal, stand-collar Tang suit stood behind the turnstiles. Beside him followed a large group of men and women in suits, all staring at her with shocked expressions.

"Huh?" Li Wei was a little dazed.

Before she could come back to her senses, the crowd beside her erupted first.

"Commander Huang! It's Commander Huang!"

"Oh my god! It really is Commander Huang!"

"Which Commander Huang?" someone asked, utterly confused.

"Who else could it be? The Guardian of our Imperial Capital Region, Commander Huang Lei!"

Huang Lei raised both hands and lightly pressed them downward. The somewhat noisy scene immediately fell silent.

His gaze swept between the examinees who were bursting with excitement at the sight of him and Li Wei, who was still standing on someone and seemed a little out of the loop. A faint smile played on his lips as he said in a rich voice:

"Listen carefully. Among all Lower Third Order martial artists in the waiting area who are preparing for the assessment, whoever can defeat this little girl"—he lifted his chin toward Li Wei—"will be considered to have passed the assessment. Remember, stop at the right point."

Li Wei blinked, meeting Huang Lei's meaningful gaze, and her brain instantly froze a little.

What the heck did he just say? Beat me... and that counts as passing the assessment?

The examinees who had just been happily filming like spectators enjoying a juicy show had, at some point, put away their phones.

One scorching gaze after another, filled with scrutiny and desire, focused on her in unison.

No, wait... are you screwing with me?! Li Wei felt chills shoot up her back.
