You're Seriously Brave / Can We Just Call It a Loss for Me?

Upon hearing that there were still ten minutes to prepare, Ye Yiren stepped forward, reached out and pulled Ling Mengxue over, saying in a calm tone, "So? That kind of person can't stump you, can she?"

"You think you can stump me? You don't believe in my abilities?" Ling Mengxue raised an eyebrow at her, her face radiating confidence.

"Hmph~ No, that won't happen. It's just that you're with me. What if I lose and people look down on me?" Ye Yiren chuckled, showing complete trust in her friend and no concern whatsoever.

On the other side.

As Ling Yue's cousin, Ling Lexuan was also quite worried about her cousin's situation.

After all, she and Nan Muya had some suspicions about what happened that night. What if this cousin really was exceptionally powerful, reaching the level of Ghost King? Wouldn't that be just sending him to his death?

Although she had heard that Ling Yue had almost been crippled, Ling Lexuan knew some of the inside story. Coupled with her understanding of her arrogant and domineering cousin, she could easily guess the specific situation.

As a family, she naturally sided with her own people. But as time went on, she felt she no longer wanted to get involved in the matter and even felt a bit annoyed.

As expected, Ling Lexuan was a righteous and selfless person; otherwise, she would never have made such a huge concession and "forgave past grievances."

What a convenient excuse for not holding grudges!

Nan Muya, on the other hand, felt rather awkward, since she had never intended to get involved in this mess in the first place.

She still wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Miss Su, whether for personal gain or out of genuine friendship. If Ling Feng recognized her and then reported her, everything would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Nan Muya couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, muttering to herself, "If my sister hadn't hit Miss Su, would she dislike me so much?"

Although she harbored some resentment, she also felt quite sorry for her older sister.

Later, when Miss Luo arrived, her older sister was admitted to the hospital that very day. From then on, the number one cold beauty of Yanjing disappeared for a whole month. Later, she almost started a major war, which she still remembers vividly.

Hall-Tier Mage, terrifyingly powerful~~~(?óò?)

Soon, it was time for the challenge.

Hearing that there was going to be a good show, within just a few minutes, more than a dozen young girls had gathered under the challenge stage in the newcomer zone.

They were either not on a mission or on vacation, and in their free time, some of them liked to watch the excitement.

Just then, a shout came from the crowd, "Ning Rong, is it your turn to attend class today? I really like that handsome guy~ How about we switch attendance?"

[img=700,878]http://Chapter 141 You're Really Brave

"Impossible. Unless you're willing to handle my tasks for a month, don't even think about it."

On the training field, Ning Rong crossed her arms, pouted, and glared back with her wide, bright eyes.

"Tch, stingy..."

"You, a lesbian girl, are trying to steal our handsome guys too?"

"Is bisexuality okay?"

"..."

There weren't many people present, and the brief exchange didn't cause any disruption; things continued as usual.

The other girls seemed used to this kind of small scene, staring expectantly at the two newcomers, some of whom even started to complain.

Normally, new recruit assessments involve sparring with examiners. Direct confrontations like this are either due to past grievances requiring a round of eliminations, or they are part of the final selection process for trainees.

For non- Astral Mark Girl, under normal circumstances, even if you pass the assessment, you still have to stand out among the contestants, otherwise you will still be eliminated.

The 'Star Engraving Alliance' has very high requirements for its warriors. Their combat strength must at least match that of Low Tier Destiny Engraver. Otherwise, what if they die during a dangerous mission?

Magical Girls is a high-risk profession, and being Astral Mark Girl is even more dangerous.

Between swords and magic, magic is definitely safer, more dazzling, and more practical.

However, in the Star Engraving faction's jargon, it's "flashy and flashy"!

Since they are adversaries, isn't using derogatory terms a bit excessive?

A moment later, as the assessment was announced to begin, Ling Yue immediately drew a three-foot-long cleaver with a skull inlaid on the hilt, gleaming with a faint green light, clearly indicating that it was of a high level.

Ling Mengxue glanced at him silently, too lazy to even pick up her weapon, and just stood there with her hands in her pockets, as if she were out shopping.

Under normal circumstances, people would definitely think she's crazy.

In a fight, everyone else has already drawn their weapons, and you're just standing there like that?

What else could you be but an idiot?

But to most of the girls, she only seemed elegant and cool.

Uh-huh?

That's the demeanor of a true leader!

There are always some people who, upon first sight, instantly feel a sense of goodwill, and there's no reasoning behind it.

"Heh, you kid don't even have a weapon, do you?" Ling Yue's tone was disdainful, but his expression was somewhat serious, showing no sign of looking down on the other party.

Given the difference in skill level, it's best to be cautious.

He didn't know Ling Mengxue's true strength, but at most she was only at the Third Order level. Although he had heard others say that she might have reached the Fourth Realm Grandmaster, he would never believe it.

What chosen one?

How could a high school student possess the Fourth Realm of Origin Transformation?

Do you think you're Master Chen from Jiangbei?

Swish--

Without holding back at all, Ling Yue's mind raced, and he instantly leaped into the air.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, dragging the long blade and drawing a silver light in its wake. The mirror-like blade exuded a chilling aura, with a point of cold light condensing in the center that seemed to flow continuously, captivating the soul.

In terms of demeanor, he had complete control over the moment he made a move!

His strength may not be as great as those Astral Mark Girl, but in terms of sheer aura, he can be considered a top expert among 'Star Warrior'.

However, this isn't the era of special effects anymore. Ling Mengxue rolled her eyes and slightly turned her body to dodge it.

Taking advantage of Ling Yue's momentary daze, she raised her leg and delivered a side kick. With a series of muffled cracking sounds, the latter was instantly knocked out, his ribs broken in several places. He rolled on the ground more than a dozen times before stopping, almost being knocked out on the spot!

Ling Mengxue silently rolled her eyes, not knowing what to say.

In her eyes, Ling Yue's speed was even slower than that of a badminton shuttlecock.

Moreover, this battle felt to her like an adult fighting a child; there was absolutely no need for it, right?

"Hahaha! Very well, you've thoroughly enraged me!"

Click--

A burst of laughter rang out, and in the air, a sound like shackles breaking slowly spread out. Ling Yue, who had stood up again, suddenly surged with a powerful aura, even stronger than before.

At the same time, both Nan Muya and Ye Yiren showed slight surprise on their faces.

Third Order 'Star Warrior' broke through after being beaten up once?

You're a real talent, you bastard.

Ling Yue brandished his swords with both hands, wielding them with a style of swordsmanship that was difficult to decipher, looking quite imposing. An exaggerated, sinister grin spread across his face as he charged forward. "Third Order? So what if you're Third Order martial artist? I'm a third-tier martial artist now!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're awesome, you're amazing." Ling Mengxue's lips twitched involuntarily, but she couldn't manage a smile.

This guy's actually built up confidence, huh?

But judging from Ling Yue's breakthrough, well, it feels like his speed is comparable to that of a badminton player...

Ling Mengxue was originally considering whether to finish him off quickly to save time, but seeing his breakthrough, she hesitated and couldn't help but feel a bit more "sympathy" for him.

They finally achieved that breakthrough; shouldn't we at least give them some face?

His family and friends were also there. What if he lost too badly and they caused him trouble afterwards?

We have to crush him under our feet!

Otherwise, how could we crush this guy's blindly confident arrogance?

They need to be eradicated completely!

Ling Mengxue didn't hold back either, slightly lowering her own cultivation level, and casually used a set of "Pure Lotus Shadow-Stacking Step" to leave the person dizzy and disoriented.

She moved with graceful steps, like a fairy walking on clouds, her beauty unparalleled... Bah! Her movements were unpredictable, like a phantom, as if she had transformed into a shadowy assassin in the night, her whereabouts unknown, and even the previously noisy crowd fell silent instantly.

So cool!

You don't have to be powerful, but your moves must be flashy!

It needs to be gorgeous!

Even if they have little fighting ability, they can still serve as decorative objects for performances, right?

Unsurprisingly, after one round, Ling Yue couldn't even touch a hem of Ling Mengxue's clothes. He could only stare helplessly, his eyes red with impotent rage. "Damn it! All you can do is dodge?! Let me hit you!! You're making me lose face!!"

"..."

Snap--

A crisp slap rang out. Ling Mengxue, expressionless, casually slapped the person, sending them flying through the air...

"Sorry, you talked too much. Even Zhao Ping couldn't stand it. I'll take his place in this slap."

Zhao Ping: What the hell are you saying??

Slapped across the face, Ling Yue's right cheek instantly turned bright red, whether from the blow or from embarrassment, he stood there stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up and roared, "You dare hit my face?! You're finished, you're really finished! Le Xuan, your brother's been hit, come and kill him!!"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look down at the audience for help.

The scene fell somewhat silent; this shameless act left many speechless, and even more people feeling contempt.

You're really brave to say something like that!

It really proves the saying: A tree without bark will surely die; a person without shame is invincible...

[img=700,992] Chapter 142 Okay, I'll admit defeat.

"..."

"..."

Ling Mengxue watched all this silently, completely oblivious to Ling Yue.

She didn't want to waste her time on this kind of person, just like you wouldn't care if a mosquito flew past you.

But if it tries to sting you, or keeps bothering you, wouldn't you have to swat it to death on the spot?

Following Ling Yue's gaze, everyone quickly focused their attention on Ling Lexuan and Nan Muya, their faces filled with suspicion.

Although they were of equal status, acting unreasonably in front of the examiners was essentially a death sentence; they would probably be kicked out immediately.

Nan Muya and Ling Lexuan exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other's thoughts. They silently took a step back. In this situation, they dared not help; a loss was a loss, what else could they do?

Let's get going!

"Hey! You guys can't be serious??" Lin Yue was dumbfounded when he saw that neither of his two trump cards had worked.

Is she still my good sister? My good classmate?

How can they be so unreliable at crucial moments??

Before he could even react, Ning Rong, the tester, had already walked up to him with a cold expression, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him into the air. Her tone was flat. "Sir, please understand your situation. You are the seventy-seventh person to dare United Alliance!"

"..."

"..."

Ling Yue was speechless, at a loss for words, but being confronted like this in front of him made him furious. "Don't I have any dignity?" he thought.

We agreed to come to Star Prefecture for a vacation, but what happened?

He's been showing off all the way, and getting slapped in the face the whole time!

Hmm... I got slapped in the face!

When has he, the esteemed young master of the Ling Family, ever been so disheveled?

This is absolutely outrageous!!
