Old Granny

Ye Yu entered the second room, and it was Twenty-fold Gravity.

There was no one inside. Ye Yu came to the Gravity Domain and felt his body suddenly sink. The terror of a twenty-fold gravity area was not merely that its number was twice as high as tenfold. With every added fold, the stacked gravity became terrifying. And the environment here was even harsher: one hundred degrees Celsius during the day, and minus one hundred degrees Celsius at night.

With his terrifying physique, he did not feel much right now, but over time, he would definitely be affected. Ye Yu felt he had not been wrong to come to the Intermediate Academy. This cultivation environment suited him very well.

Cultivating here was just like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in Dragon Ball. The only part that fell short was that terrifying effect where one day outside equaled one year inside.

Ye Yu began to cultivate. Here, his soul power rose very quickly as well. The greater the pressure he endured, the faster he cultivated, not to mention that he had Innate Full Soul Power Level 30. Although half his soul power would be absorbed by his body, his speed was still faster than someone with Innate Full Soul Power Level 10.

Although half of his soul power was absorbed, Ye Yu did not feel it was a pity. It was not gone; it was acting on his body, making Ye Yu feel his body growing stronger and stronger.

This was excellent. Otherwise, no matter how strong his power or support abilities were, if his body crumpled in one blow, then even being more impressive would be useless. Moreover, Ye Yu felt that this soul power was also acting on the Second Martial Soul hidden deep within his body.

"Perhaps, once the soul power absorbed by my body reaches a certain level, my Second Martial Soul will appear?"

Ye Yu thought this to himself. He was certain he still had a Second Martial Soul, and that it was extremely terrifying. From his previous absorption of the Swift Growth Tiger and Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull Soul Rings, it could be seen that something was definitely hidden inside his body.

Also, back when he was in the village, after he went out at night and before he woke up, he had no memory of what happened in between.

After waking up, Ye Yu learned that a small hill there had collapsed, and there were traces of a brief fight.

At the time, he could have asked Tang Hao, but even if he had, it would have been meaningless. So once his own strength grew, he would go ask Tang Hao again.

Ye Yu began cultivating. During the day, he attended class in the morning, while the afternoons and nights were spent in the Twenty-fold Gravity Space.

Two days later.

Ye Yu was eating in the cafeteria. The bowls on the table piled higher and higher, leaving the other students dumbfounded.

Just then, Li Beta ran in happily and excitedly, showing off and cheering everywhere.

"Yeah! I saw Bichi's face! She's so beautiful! Hahahaha, just as I thought—girls with nice voices never look bad."

Li Beta's words made the other students curious, and they kept asking him questions.

"Li Beta, how pretty is she? Hurry and tell us."

"Li Beta, you gave her a hundred Gold Soul Coins?"

"You're showing off again. Can you consider how us single dogs feel?"

"I hope you break up soon."

Li Beta felt very proud, his face full of a blissful smile.

"In short, she's very beautiful. Especially that smile of hers that can melt a person's heart. I swear, Bichi's smile will be protected by me." Li Beta looked determined.

Listening to all this, Ye Yu did not care at all.

Whether it was as he imagined or not, it did not matter. Ye Yu actually hoped it would not be like what he thought. Otherwise, Li Beta would be traumatized for life.

After finishing his showing off, Li Beta left.

A day later, news spread through the school. If one wanted to see Qiao Bichi's face, one only needed to give her ten Gold Soul Coins for a glance.

At once, many students wanted to take a look. Five Gold Soul Coins was still something some students could scrape together if they saved up.

Very soon, more than fifty students headed to the agreed location, beside a remote fish pond outside Nuoding City. This place was called Douyu Pond.

After Li Beta learned the news, he was very angry and rushed over quickly as well.

At this moment, Ye Yu happened to be passing by, preparing to go to a nearby city to buy gravity equipment, such as dumbbells imbued with gravity, to train his arm strength.

As Ye Yu passed by, many students were holding Gold Soul Coins and scrambling to see.

Qiao Bichi's face was covered by a veil. "Everyone, one at a time."

Just then, Li Beta arrived and said angrily, "Bichi, how can you let them see too?"

Qiao Bichi said, "What's wrong with that? Aren't I doing it to save up money for our life together in the future?"

Hearing this, the anger on Li Beta's face instantly vanished, and he felt very happy. "Bichi is truly so virtuous."

At this moment, Qiao Bichi saw Ye Yu and teased, "I thought you didn't want to look at me. After hearing that I'm a beauty, you finally couldn't hold back and came to take a look too?"

Ye Yu said indifferently, "I'm just passing by."

"Hmph, saying one thing and meaning another. I'm happy today, and I don't need your one Gold Soul Coin either. Everyone, watch closely. I'm going to remove my veil."

As she spoke, three Soul Rings appeared around Qiao Bichi: one white and two yellow.

Li Beta was puzzled. "Bichi, why are you releasing your Soul Rings again?"

When he looked at Bichi before, it had also been like this. Bichi had said she was afraid that after he looked at her, he might try something on her, and this was a precaution.

Qiao Bichi said the same thing as before. "After all, I'm too beautiful. What if so many people look and lose control?"

Li Beta felt this made sense, while the others became even more curious about just how beautiful she could be.

Qiao Bichi slowly removed her veil. At the same time, only she herself knew that she had used her Second Soul Skill.

The veil came off, and Qiao Bichi gave a "charming" smile.

"So, I look very good, don't I?"

At the same time, everyone was dumbfounded, and the surroundings fell completely silent.

Seeing this reaction, Qiao Bichi was not surprised. "Looks like I'm too beautiful. You're all stunned from looking at me, giggle giggle giggle..."

After Qiao Bichi finished speaking, she smiled. In the next moment, a scene that left her stunned unfolded.

"Ugh!!!"

Every student bent over as if they were about to throw up, retreating in terror.

"My god, she's hideous!"

"How old is she? That's an auntie face!"

"What auntie face? She's clearly an old granny!"

Everyone felt as if their eyes had been assaulted. Thinking back to all those words before, and realizing they had come from the mouth of an old granny like this, sent a chill through them and made them feel sick.

Li Beta was just as frozen, deeply shaken. He muttered, "H-How can this be... Bichi, how did you turn into this?"

Qiao Bichi's heart sank. What they were seeing was her true appearance? How was that possible?!

At that moment, Ye Yu teased, "Just as I thought. She's an ugly freak, and not a loli either. More like a fifty-eight-year-old granny."

Everyone immediately looked at Li Beta with sympathy and began teasing him one after another. The sight made them feel secretly delighted.

"Hahaha, I'm dying. This is the great beauty you were talking about?"

"Beta, your girlfriend isn't a loli. She's a fifty-eight-year-old granny."

"I'll protect Bichi's smile, hahahaha... More like I'll protect Granny's smile."

Li Beta was badly shaken and utterly humiliated. That smile Bichi had given just now, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, had been as warm and kind as a benevolent old grandmother's.

That scene lingered in his mind and would become a shadow over him for the rest of his life.

Qiao Bichi couldn't understand it at all and looked around.

"Why did my Second Soul Skill, Confusion, fail? My Second Soul Skill should only fail when a Soul Master at no lower than Level 30 appears nearby."

Qiao Bichi wanted to flee, but the furious students surrounded her.
