Xiao Yi watched Wu Feng charge at him and Nanmen Yun'er circle toward his flank, feeling a little bemused.
As if a little thing like you, Wu Feng, could use an Earth-tier Dou Technique.
Watching the two rush toward him, he had no intention of fighting them for three hundred rounds.
He hadn't summoned the dragon simply because there was no need. His Soul Power cultivation alone surpassed theirs by far, and they couldn't match him in any other respect, either.
Wu Feng gathered the flames from her Soul Skill around the dragon claw on her left hand and swung it at Xiao Yi with all her strength. Fury burned in her eyes, and her attack carried the force of someone ready to swallow him whole.
The young lady is mine!
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi flung her away, leaving her utterly dumbfounded.
Xiao Yi reached out with one hand, catching Wu Feng by the wrist and forearm. As for the flames—
Don't make your Uncle Xiao laugh.
Then Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon activated. Wu Feng's full-strength strike, fueled by her fury, was effortlessly redirected by Xiao Yi, and she was sent crashing backward.
"Impressive force, but your strength is a little lacking," Xiao Yi said mildly.
Seeing Wu Feng's attack miss, Nanmen Yun'er turned her arm into a Jade Blade and sent a crescent-shaped slash at Xiao Yi. Then she charged forward, activating her first Soul Skill and swinging at him.
Xiao Yi casually blocked the jade-colored crescent blade, then caught the small hand of the pale-green figure who rushed at him.
Nanmen Yun'er was dumbfounded. Her second Soul Skill, Jade Slash, had been blocked in an instant, and even her first Soul Skill, Jade Edge, had been caught with such ease.
She looked up and met Xiao Yi's gaze. Feeling the warmth of his hand around hers, a faint blush crept across her face.
Waaah, big brother is so handsome! Big brother, hit me! she screamed inwardly.
Xiao Yi looked at the silly little girl grinning as steam began to rise above her head. He was a little stunned, but before he could dwell on it, a wave of heat surged from behind him.
Xiao Yi sighed, wrapped an arm around Nanmen Yun'er's slender waist, and carried her out of the range of Wu Feng's indiscriminate attack. Then he tossed her off the arena like a piece of trash.
Nanmen Yun'er landed hard on her backside. Wincing, she rubbed her little bottom and looked resentfully up at the arena. But the moment she lifted her head, she met Mu Jin's murderous gaze.
"Hehe (*^▽^*), Teacher Mu Jin, I'm sorry." The little girl's smile vanished on the spot. She'd forgotten this was an exam.
"This is a battle, Nanmen Yun'er!" Mu Jin angrily pinched the girl's ear and dragged her to the spectator area.
"Would you just stand there and wait to die because your enemy is handsome!?"
Watching Xiao Yi toy with Wu Feng on the arena, Jiang Nannan curiously looked at her best friend, who had changed so much. She'd been just as surprised when she saw Tang Ya's transformation, and had been happy for her.
But now that Xiao Yi was flirting with other girls, why wasn't Tang Ya reacting?
"Xiao Ya, aren't you going to stop him?" she asked, puzzled. She herself felt uncomfortable, so how could Tang Ya still be smiling?
"It's fine, Nannan." Tang Ya kept smiling. Xiao Yi was practically the Tang Sect's leader, and becoming his woman was like marrying into the Tang Sect. With so many talented people, why worry that the Tang Sect wouldn't prosper?
A sect needed people to flourish, after all! Go on, give it your all and have lots of babies!
Unaware of Tang Ya's thoughts, Xiao Yi had had enough fun up on the arena. He liked seeing Wu Feng look as if she wanted to kill him but could do nothing about it, but it was time to end things.
"Can you do anything but dodge!?" Wu Feng cried in frustration when her attack missed again. The guy was obviously toying with her.
"Then have it your way." Xiao Yi flashed forward, appearing behind Wu Feng in an instant.
Before she could react, he struck, and down she went.
Then Xiao Yi caught her curvy body with ease. Wu Feng still had a look of shock on her face as he laid her down.
One move, one KO. What was there to say?
Xiao Yi smiled at Ning Tian, who stood nearby, helpless to do anything.
The gap was just too great. Ning Tian sighed inwardly and raised her hand.
"We concede."
Then Ning Tian stepped forward to catch the unconscious Wu Feng.
"It's fine. Let me help," Xiao Yi said with a smile. As he spoke, he lifted the girl in his arms and carried her bridal-style. Her body was soft, and she smelled faintly of sweat. It wasn't unpleasant; rather, there was a delicate fragrance.
"Okay." Ning Tian smiled sweetly and tentatively hooked her arm around Xiao Yi's. When he didn't react, she gave a small smile, and the three of them left the arena together.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head from his seat in the viewing stands. His junior apprentice really was just like him when he'd been young.
"Men are all no good," Xian Lin'er said irritably from beside him.
Yan Shaozhe gave an awkward smile, not daring to argue. Instead, he turned to Ma Xiaotao beside him, his eyes full of disappointment. My good apprentice, you need to get a move on!
Ma Xiaotao turned her head, avoiding Yan Shaozhe's look. Her eyes nevertheless drifted toward Xiao Yi below. Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, I really am going to have to put you under my thumb, she thought.
It had been a few months since she'd last purged her Evil Fire, so she could take this opportunity to savor the taste of Ultimate Ice.
Xiao Yi shivered involuntarily, as if something had set its sights on him.
Wu Feng felt as though someone was holding her in their arms. She opened her eyes and peeked, then immediately shut them again. Her lashes trembled like a salted fish refusing to face reality.
"Come on, Feng Mei. You're awake, so get down," Ning Tian said by her ear. Wu Feng's pretty face flushed. Meeting Xiao Yi's gaze, she began struggling in his arms.
"Put me down," she huffed, kicking her long legs uselessly in the air. Then she felt Xiao Yi loosen his hold and immediately darted behind Ning Tian, bristling and hissing all at once.
Ning Tian gave Wu Feng a helpless look, then quickly turned her gaze back to Xiao Yi. Seeing her young lady like this made Wu Feng feel utterly dejected.
Young lady, look at me! He knocked me out, you know. Boo-hoo-hoo.
But then Wu Feng thought of something. She gritted her teeth. She was willing to do anything to stay by her young lady's side. What was the big deal about pushing from behind? For her young lady, anything was worth it.
Seeing Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan approaching, Ning Tian let go of Xiao Yi's arm. It was best to show some restraint in front of his official girlfriend.
Besides, if Tang Ya got angry or displeased, wouldn't that give her a chance?
Big brother~ Big brother~, I don't mind that you have a wife, but your wife minds that you have a mistress. Isn't it obvious who loves you more?
But that idea of hers was destined to come to nothing. Tang Ya showed no reaction at all; instead, her smile grew even brighter and more sincere. These were all the foundations of the Tang Sect's future rise!
She walked up and naturally looped her arm through Xiao Yi's. Jiang Nannan shot her a displeased glance. What a womanizer.
Still, she "followed her heart" and took Xiao Yi's other hand. Aside from that one flaw, Xiao Yi had nothing but good qualities.
The five of them left the testing arena in a noisy crowd, followed by a little girl in pale green.
