"Can't wait to go on a killing spree?"
Though An Jing had her by the back of the neck, You Ruhui did not feel uncomfortable. She did her utmost to keep her enhanced body from overreacting, then instinctively quipped, "With your strength, isn't the Zhaolin Banquet, where only Divine Treasury Realm cultivators can advance, just a slaughterhouse to you? Who could possibly stop you?!"
Before this, You Ruhui might still have held a trace of misjudgment regarding An Jing's strength, thinking that in this vast world, there might truly be some people capable of contending with him. But now, she no longer had even the slightest thought of the sort.
"By all reason, we should have grown together. But you have surpassed the laws of Heaven. To let me barely keep pace with you and avoid holding you back, the Heavenly Dao forcibly brought my calamity forward and pushed me to grow!"
As she spoke, You Ruhui let out a long sigh. "I'm still far too lacking."
"You're already very impressive."
At that moment, the barrier formed from the surrounding heaven-and-earth Spiritual Energy vanished. An Jing brought You Ruhui back beside the Cloud Vortex. "As for the banquet, I think you shouldn't underestimate the heroes of the world. If they truly want to, I'm sure they have plenty of ways to bypass the Zhaolin Realm's restrictions and display Saint Manifestation-level strength within a grotto-heaven."
"So you mean I shouldn't underestimate them because everyone is assumed to be cheating!"
You Ruhui was speechless enough to laugh, while An Jing replied as if it were only natural, "What else? If they don't use cheats and tricks, what right do they have to face me? I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing what techniques they use. There will definitely be plenty to learn then."
