Li Tiezhu lay amid the rubble, foaming at the mouth, with only one thought in his dazed mind.
Who am I? Where am I?
What just happened?
In his mind, the system's voice finally rang out, but this time, its usual venom and temper were gone.
[H-host... are you still alive?]
Li Tiezhu replied feebly in his mind, "You... you tell me?"
[...]
The system fell into a rare silence, then a trace of bewilderment crept into its voice.
[The data from that punch... this system needs to reassess it.]
"Reassess my ass!" Li Tiezhu cursed inwardly. "What kind of monster is that girl?!"
He was the esteemed eldest senior brother of the Joyous Union Sect, Early Spirit Transformation, wearing the "Great Sage Invincible Supreme Youth Edition Set" that the system had just bought for him on credit...
And a fourteen-year-old girl had shattered his defenses with a single punch?
Not only had she shattered his defenses, but the left half of his face now felt swollen like a risen steamed bun, and even two of his teeth were loose!
[...]
The system offered no answer. It had no idea how to answer.
Perhaps... "that being" had left some means of protection behind?
Not far away, Si Qing cautiously opened her eyes.
She looked at her empty surroundings, then lowered her gaze to her fists. "Ugh... what happened...?"
Although she was timid by nature and did not much enjoy cultivating, she had, after all, grown up in a top-tier cultivation household like the Si Household. Having absorbed so much simply by being around it, she was not completely ignorant.
She soon realized that her wild flurry of punches with her eyes closed seemed to have actually sent those terrifying monsters flying.
