Yue Ling sighed softly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and called out helplessly, "Senior Sister, you're still far too strong. Even after throwing everything I had at you, I couldn't pose the slightest threat..."
That was indeed the truth.
In the distance, that graceful figure stood where she was. Night had yet to fall, but moonlight suffused her surroundings, lending her an air of mystery.
Yue Ling marveled inwardly, She truly deserves her place as the strongest in the Shrek Inner Court today.
Her reactions in a crisis and the caution she maintained throughout the battle were truly startling.
Even with the upper hand, she hadn't grown careless, remaining calm and vigilant against him...
Looks like I still have a lot to learn.
In the battle just now, the rapidly spinning chrysanthemum blades hadn't struck Zhang Lexuan at all.
In other words, while remaining alert to her surroundings, his senior sister had reacted to Yue Ling's all-or-nothing gamble in an instant, swiftly choosing to unleash her sixth soul skill and pin the chrysanthemum blades firmly in midair.
This match had been just like his own fight against Dai Yueheng back then. From beginning to end, he had never stood a chance.
Powerless. Utterly powerless. His senior sister was terrifying.
Her reserves far surpassed his. He didn't even know how many spirit bones she possessed, let alone the fact that she was a Seven-Ring Soul Sage.
His own cultivation amounted to only five rings.
If she had used her Martial Soul Avatar right from the start, he would probably have had to reveal his second martial soul just to have a sliver of hope of winning...
Of course, this was merely a soul fighting assessment. There was no need to go for the kill from the outset.
Not far away
