Another Challenge

Chapter XIX: Rematch

"Alright, I'm tired anyway, so I'll leave the rest to you. Just watch your strength a bit-

at his current state, taking about another 100 hits should be just about right." Yao Lao stepped aside immediately.

"What's wrong? Why do I suddenly feel a chill down my spine? Teacher, why did you suddenly stop? Actually, I can still keep going."

Xiao Yan was working hard to circulate his Heavenly Orbit and had no time to look back, simply closing his eyes and asking instinctively.

Yet the moment he finished speaking, he let out a high-pitched scream ten times louder than the last.

And not just once; he let out five consecutive shrieks.

The current effect was naturally from Feng Qing'er striking personally. To better help Xiao Yan improve his endurance,

she had even condensed a few barbs onto the Dou Qi whip.

Those five consecutive lashes were practically whip-for-whip with blood, beating Xiao Yan so hard he almost collapsed to the ground without a steady footing.

"The feel is pretty good. I don't know why, but it seems like after hitting him, there's an inexplicable sense of comfort in my heart."

Feng Qing'er felt a wave of full-body refreshment after finishing the beating. Though she didn't know the reason, she seemed to have taken a liking to this feeling.

Beating was beating, but Feng Qing'er wasn't unreasonable.

She took out some medicinal liquid for treatment that she had prepared long ago,

mixed it together with strong wine, and intended to apply it onto Xiao Yan's back.

This could not only prompt his Dou Qi to circulate the Heavenly Orbit rapidly, but also recover his injuries very well.

"Will this be alright? Why do I have a feeling it probably, roughly, maybe will hurt a lot?" Xiao Yan looked at the bubbling emerald-green spiritual liquid in her hand, and his lips couldn't help twitching.

"This doesn't hurt." Without caring whether the other party was willing or not, Feng Qing'er walked right up and dumped the entire bottle of medicinal liquid onto him.

What followed was a full 10 minutes of uninterrupted screaming.

"Didn't you say it wouldn't hurt? I keep feeling like you have a personal grudge against me."

At that moment, Xiao Yan felt his entire back go numb. Because the pain was too intense, even nerve conduction had run into some problems.

Fortunately, though the pain was several times greater than Yao Lao's earlier, the cultivation effect was also enhanced by a massive margin, and it even promoted blood circulation and removed blood stasis to an extent.

"Pain is pain, what are you scared of as a big man? If you don't believe me, you can look at the wound-it's obviously starting to scab over."

Though Feng Qing'er said that on the outside, she felt a little bit happy inside, as if she had just gotten revenge.

Perhaps because her thoughts had unblocked, Feng Qing'er seemed to break through a certain shackle in her heart, instantly experiencing an epiphany right on the spot and jumping two consecutive ranks to reach a Three-Star Dou Wang.

"I didn't expect to actually break through." Feng Qing'er felt the Dou Qi within her body; it was indeed much more robust, and it was the first time she had ever felt a breakthrough go so smoothly.

Seeing Feng Qing'er break through, Xiao Yan couldn't help shuddering involuntarily once again.

Did this fellow have to break through at such a terrible time? Wasn't this saying that he would be beaten even harder in a moment?

However, Feng Qing'er's gaze turned over to Xiao Yan at that moment, scaring Xiao Yan into taking two steps back on the spot.

"Useless. Let your teacher hit you for the rest." Feng Qing'er lifted her chin, then handed the spot back to Yao Lao. She needed to do something very important right away.

"Dare to fight me again? If you lose, our roles switch." This fire of Feng Qing'er's burned directly onto Qin Yun, who was eating watermelon off to the side.

Fearing that the other party would refuse, Feng Qing'er temporarily found an excuse.

"You said before that luck is also a part of strength. Me being able to boost two stars in one breath is also my fortuitous encounter; you wouldn't dare, would you?"

That's right, there was no other reason-Feng Qing'er just wanted to take advantage of her higher rank than the other party to strip away the title of mount and mount him in reverse.

"Are you sure about right now?" Qin Yun glanced around and found that everyone's gazes were fixed on the two of them.

"That's right, right now, in this spot. Just say whether you dare or not." Feng Qing'er put her hands on her hips, turning back into an arrogant little Fenghuang just like when they first met.

"This isn't very good, is it? Won't it be a bit unfair?" Qin Yun was actually somewhat resistant, though not for his own sake, but purely out of consideration for Feng Qing'er.

Actually, he was already a Five-Star Dou Wang now, and he had gained several more Eight Extraordinary Skills. Compared to before, his strength possessed a leap-style enhancement.

Before the upgrade, he could already suppress Feng Qing'er, let alone now that all his attributes had increased.

Though he didn't know how a real fight would go, by his own estimation, it should end within 20 moves.

"Could it be that you're scared? You have your days too, huh. Today you're going to fight whether you want to or not, and since there are so many people here as witnesses, let these people witness the moment I surpass you."

Without the slightest awareness that danger was approaching, Feng Qing'er believed with absolute certainty that even if she couldn't beat him, she definitely wouldn't lose.

"Actually, I still think..." Qin Yun wanted to stall a bit longer.

As a result, Feng Qing'er was already terribly impatient. "What are you blabbering on about? Just one sentence: do you fight or not? If not, then strip away that title of mine."

Feng Qing'er didn't want to listen to his explanations; she only had a single thought now, which was to take down the other party within 30 moves.

"Alright, since you want to fight, I'll accompany you for a bout." Qin Yun shook his head. Truly, good intentions met with a donkey's liver-she didn't know how to appreciate kindness.

Since you want to lose face, don't blame me. Besides, I haven't had a real fight since my breakthrough.

"They're fighting, they're fighting!" Seeing the two set up a rematch, Xiao Yan looked even more excited than anyone else. After all, watching the commotion was a foundational underlying code for people of Blue Star.

However, because he was still in the middle of cultivation, Xiao Yan could only look pitifully at his teacher, hoping the latter would let him observe.

"Don't look at me with that kind of gaze. Cultivation can be paused for a moment. Right now, both of them are Dou Wang experts, so their fight should be quite spectacular. It can also open your eyes and let you see how experts trade blows with one another."

Yao Lao ultimately agreed to Xiao Yan's request-though absolutely not because he loved watching the commotion himself.

Soon, the two of them had already found a venue, facing each other at a distance of about 20 meters.

"Are you ready? Today I am going to wipe away my humiliation as a mount." Feng Qing'er loosened her wrists and spoke with high morale.

"That depends on whether you have the ability. Speaking of which, you're so competitive-won't you be very sad if you happen to lose?" Qin Yun seemed rather casual, appearing as though he held all the winning cards.

This time, Feng Qing'er planned to make a quick decision, using the most violent offensive to forcefully shatter the Nisheng state of his bizarre technique.

According to Feng Qing'er's plan, as long as she shattered the opponent's defense, she could disrupt his mindset. Once the opponent's mindset was thrown into chaos, it would be a fine opportunity for her to seize victory.
