Sister Xue'er

Ye Yun's fingers suddenly stopped playing with his phone, and he looked up at the woman before him.

Blinding golden hair, peerless looks, an incredibly high soul-power rank, and her hatred for Bibi Dong did not seem fake.

Hiss... This couldn't be Qian Renxue, could it? I didn't expect her to deliver herself right to my door.

"Uncle Ning, let Sister Xiao Xue follow me. I happen to need a helper right now."

Surprise showed on Ning Fengzhi's face. Then he caught sight of the way Ye Yun was staring straight at her, and instantly understood.

He sighed inwardly: So young, yet already such a romantic.

He coughed lightly twice and advised tactfully, "Ahem, Xiao Yun, Uncle isn't trying to stop you. It's just that you're still young. You should put yourself first. Some things can wait until you're grown before you try them."

Ye Yun was covered in imaginary black lines. What the hell are you talking about? Could you at least wipe that "I understand" look off your face while you say it?!

Qian Renxue had not expected she would be able to directly stay by this most mysterious fellow's side either.

Though delighted, she also labeled him in her heart: precocious, and obsessed with looks.

But this also gave her a chance. She was still quite confident in her looks and figure. Worst case, she could tempt him a little.

In any case, he was still just a little brat. He could not do anything.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Qian Renxue bowed, looking overwhelmed by the favor.

Ye Yun jumped down from his chair and took her hand, walking outside.

"Come on, Sister Xue'er. Let's test your combat strength so I can make plans for you afterward."

Qian Renxue did not resist either. Feeling that warm little hand in hers, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart. A trace of softness flashed through her eyes, and her hand unconsciously tightened.

Ye Yun sensed something unusual and looked up, smiling at her.

"What's wrong, Sister Xue'er?"

That call pulled Qian Renxue back from her thoughts. She quickly turned her head slightly away, hiding the unnatural softness in her eyes, her tone as calm as ever.

"Nothing. Let's go."

She answered faintly, but inwardly, she quietly muttered.

This little guy isn't as annoying as I imagined. Instead, he's unexpectedly pure...

Sensing the emotions in Qian Renxue's heart, the corners of Ye Yun's mouth rose. Praise Harmony~~

When they arrived at the private training ground.

The vast field was empty and silent, without half a person in sight.

Qian Renxue looked around, a trace of doubt rising in her eyes, then turned to Ye Yun beside her.

"Didn't you say we were going to test combat strength? Where is everyone? Who's going to fight me?"

"Me, of course." Ye Yun lifted his little face, his tone brimming with confidence.

"You?"

Qian Renxue froze slightly, then looked the still-childish youth before her up and down. She stretched out a slender jade finger and lightly measured his height.

A faint smile quietly climbed onto her lips, and she raised her hand to rub the top of Ye Yun's head.

"Don't tease your big sister. What rank are you even?"

"You're looking down on me? Don't start crying later."

Ye Yun broke free from Qian Renxue's mischievous hand, retreated a few steps, and took out the summoner, holding it horizontally before him.

"Assault Armor, activate!"

Ye Yun suddenly swung the summoner in his hand.

In an instant, towering, blazing scarlet flames erupted with a roar, instantly swallowing the boy's figure!

The sudden, terrifying heat wave came fast and fierce. Caught off guard, Qian Renxue's expression shifted slightly, and she subconsciously raised a hand to block in front of herself.

Even with her abundant soul power, she was still forced back again and again by the scorching shockwave. The soles of her shoes scraped long marks across the ground.

The dazzling flames surged violently. A moment later, they slowly receded and vanished completely.

The little brat who had been in the training ground was gone.

In his place stood an armored man over two meters tall, his entire body covered in hard metal armor, blazing light flowing across him.

Qian Renxue did not dare be careless and hurriedly summoned the Holy Sword.

Four soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, and purple, rose beneath her feet.

Ye Yun clenched his fist, sensing the rate at which the Erudition energy inside him was being consumed, and formed a rough judgment in his heart.

With his current limit, he could probably last three hours, but that was enough.

A slightly mechanical voice sounded.

"Sister Xue'er, if I make the first move, you won't get a chance to attack."

Hearing that, a sharp glint of competitiveness flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes, and the corner of her mouth lifted in a proud curve.

"You certainly talk big. In that case, I won't hold back!"

As her voice fell, the first soul ring beneath her feet lit up.

A pale golden sacred halo instantly covered her entire body, and condensed holy light gathered at the tip of her sword, turning into an incomparably sharp edge.

Qian Renxue shot forward, so fast she left behind a golden afterimage, carrying vast sacred power as she stabbed straight at the vital point in the chest of Ye Yun's armor!

Clang—!!

A metallic ring echoed through the training ground.

The force of the impact kicked up a powerful wave of air that swept in every direction.

Qian Renxue was a little dumbfounded. Her Angel Assault, which should have been able to break through defenses and pierce an enemy, had landed on this iron armor and only scraped out a shallow mark.

Opposite her, Ye Yun frowned. The status column showed 0.1% damage to the chest armor.

It seemed armor forged from this kind of mixed metal still was not quite good enough. Against thrusting, piercing-type soul skills like this, it would suffer a little damage.

Qian Renxue was only stunned for a moment before she came back to herself and quickly retreated to put distance between them.

"Second soul skill, Holy Light Blade!"

She raised her sword toward the sky, and fifteen condensed golden light blades instantly appeared behind her.

Countless light blades spun rapidly and gathered together, layering and merging into one. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a giant Holy Sword, its blade radiating a heavy sacred power!

Qian Renxue's bright eyes turned cold, and she brought her sword down with one hand!

Rumble—!

The enormous blade of light, wrapped in pressure and carrying a biting gale, slashed down viciously toward Ye Yun's armor from above!

Facing this unstoppable killing blow, Ye Yun grew a little excited. This was the thrill of battle!!

The two-meter-tall mech lowered its center of gravity, twisted at the waist, and built up power. The lines across its entire right arm lit up crimson in an instant, and scorching flames of extreme heat madly gathered around its fist!

Blazing fire wrapped around the right fist, and searing waves of air once again swept across the entire training ground.

"Hah!!"

The machine body suddenly unleashed its strength, meeting the giant blade overhead with surging power.

"BOOM!!"

A deafening explosion erupted. Golden holy light and crimson flames clashed madly, and a violent shock wave of energy swept across the entire training ground with the point of their collision as its center. The stone slabs on the ground cracked layer by layer, and shattered rocks flew everywhere!

The smoke and dust dispersed.

Qian Renxue was half-kneeling on one knee, her slender fingers tightly gripping the Holy Sword that shone with golden light from end to end. The blade had stabbed deep into the stone slabs, steadily supporting her swaying figure.

Fine beads of sweat soaked the golden hair on her forehead. Her chest rose and fell slightly as she looked at Ye Yun in disbelief.

Although she had suppressed her soul power to level 45, the purity of her soul power was still at the level of a high-ranking Soul King.

What on earth was this suit of iron? It could actually clash head-on with her full-power strike? And all it had was a bit of damaged plating.

On Ye Yun's side, the detection system also sounded an alarm.

"Bzzzt—Assault Armor right arm damage: 5%."

Glancing at the somewhat damaged, blackened right arm, Ye Yun immediately felt a little disdainful.

What the hell were Douluo Continent's materials made of? They were this bad at withstanding heat? They could not even endure flames of this level. Wouldn't that mean the railgun would become a one-use item?
