When the Crown Princess saw Qiao Mei call out to Qiao Yingying, she only glanced at her before looking away. After all, it wasn't her son who Qiao Mei had called out to, so what did it have to do with her?

The Crown Prince wanted to stay with Qiao Yingying, but he had to train his followers' superpowers, so he had to leave first.

Left with no one to back her up, Qiao Yingying stood frozen in place, looking at Qiao Mei whose red eyes were filled with coldness, and stammered, "Seventh...Seventh Sister, what do you want with me?"

Qiao Mei glanced at Xu Hui, who looked disapproving, and lowered her voice to say to Xu Hui, "We can't afford to offend the Crown Princess right now, but we should at least be able to offend her, right?" Then, she stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Yingying's wrist, pretending to be friendly, but actually gripping Qiao Yingying's wrist tightly, replying:

"I have something I want to say to you alone, Eighth Sister."

As she spoke, Qiao Mei looked at Xu Hui and told her to go to the training room and wait. Once Xu Hui was out of sight, the fake smile on her face disappeared completely. With a dark expression, she led Qiao Yingying to an empty rest room and closed the door.

"Seventh Sister, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

"What do you want?" Qiao Mei narrowed her red eyes, recalling the vicious words Qiao Yingying had said to Xu Hui, the patient, earlier. The fire that had been building up inside her danced in her red eyes as she slowly approached her. "Nothing much, I just want to have a little sparring session with you."

As Qiao Mei spoke, she gathered lightning in her right hand, and the chilling light in her eyes sent a shiver down Qiao Yingying's spine.

But soon, after glancing at Ao Cang's dragon back, which was missing many of its scales, she regained her composure, and a vicious look appeared in her gray eyes.

"Since that's the case, then I'll gladly accept your offer. Seventh Sister, please don't blame me if I accidentally go too far later!"

Qiao Mei sneered: "I couldn't ask for more."

As Qiao Yingying spoke, she released her gold-type little white wolf, and with her right hand she gathered the superpower of the gold-type familiar, creating five mini metal pieces that were as sharp as darts in a few dozen seconds, and threw them at Qiao Mei.

Before transmigrating into the book, Qiao Mei had considered that she would encounter a similar situation, so she specially found an ancient martial arts master to learn skills. Although the physical ability of this body is not as good as that of her previous body, she can still use the moves.

He quickly dodged the five sharp metal pieces by bending over backwards, a move that surprised both Qiao Yingying and Ao Cang.

At the same time, he gathered a small electric current in his right hand and struck Qiao Yingying with it while she was still in a daze, giving her no chance to use her metal-type familiar's superpower to create a defensive domain.

Although the current looks small, the amount of electricity Qiao Mei injected into it was not small at all. It was just enough to make a person feel dizzy, but not enough to cause serious damage to the body.

Because of the massive amount of current injected, when she threw out the current, her waist-length curly hair moved automatically without wind, giving Qiao Yingying the illusion that the current striking her was not a small current, but some huge electric mass.

She thought she could dodge it like Qiao Mei, but her body was too cumbersome and the current was too fast. She had only taken one step and stood in a figure-eight shape when she was directly struck by the current. Her body began to convulse and tremble, and much of her hair was singed. She fell down and lay on the ground, exhaling a cloud of black smoke.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Eighth Sister. I accidentally hit her a little too hard. You won't be mad at me, will you?"

Qiao Mei mimicked Qiao Yingying's previous witty remarks, feigning guilt and watching with schadenfreude as Qiao Yingying tried to speak but could only exhale puffs of black smoke in a pathetic state. She continued, "If you're not going to say anything, then it seems it's not about blaming me~ In that case, let's end our sparring here today."

As Qiao Mei spoke, she stepped in front of Qiao Yingying, half-squatting down and coldly staring at Qiao Yingying with her blood-red eyes in a disdainful posture: "However, if I hear anything you shouldn't say from your mouth again, there will definitely be no shortage of sparring sessions like today's. I hope you remember that."

With that, the girl stood up, patted her off-white spring dress which was practically spotless, and before leaving, added, "But I never expected Eighth Sister to be so strong. We were evenly matched in a single move; it truly broadened my horizons!"

The sarcasm in her words was obvious to any normal person, let alone someone as cunning as Qiao Yingying.

But her body was still affected by the electric current and she couldn't move at all. She could only stare viciously at Qiao Mei's departing figure, her back teeth almost grinding to powder.

But Qiao Mei didn't turn around to look at this scene, nor did she care to.

If Qiao Yingying hadn't started it, she wouldn't have taken advantage of her superior talent to make things difficult for her. It's fair to say that she brought this upon herself.

When Xu Hui finally waited for Qiao Mei to return in the training room, she nervously asked her what she had done.

"It's nothing, I just sparred with Qiao Yingying to test her strength. I didn't expect her to be so weak, I defeated her in one move."

"Is that all?" Xu Hui was still worried and wanted to go out to check, but Qiao Mei stopped her.

"Really, you shouldn't go anymore. There's no need to waste any more time on someone like her. But Mother, why didn't you let me help you talk back to the Crown Princess? We may not be as high-ranking as her, but we could still make her feel disgusted with our words."

Xu Hui sighed, tidied Qiao Mei's long curly hair, and expressed her concerns: "Don't you know that the royal family is the biggest sponsor of the Federal Academy? With her status, if she wanted to make things difficult for you during the entrance exam, it would be as simple as lifting a finger. Compared to that, what does it matter if Mom is humiliated by her?"

Qiao Mei hadn't considered this reason. With a complicated expression, she stared at Xu Hui quietly with her red eyes for a while before looking away and letting out a muffled "hmm".

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's start training your familiar's superpowers. Show your lightning familiar to your mother first."

Qiao Mei nodded and did as instructed, conjuring a small electric current in her right hand.

"Hmm, it's the size that a normal familiar's superpower would be. Try again and see if you can focus your attention and turn it into the shape of a dagger."

"good."

Changing the shape of the small current was a bit difficult for Qiao Mei, but not entirely impossible. She concentrated for about half a minute, and the current in her hand, which was originally a straight strip, turned into the shape of a miniature dagger.

During this time, Xu Hui walked to a disc resembling a dartboard and adjusted its hardness. Feeling it was about right, she looked up at Qiao Mei and said, "No need to rush. It usually takes about five to ten minutes to solidify into a shape. In a little while..."

Qiao Mei tilted her head, somewhat innocently pushing the dagger-shaped current in her hand forward a little so that Xu Hui could see it clearly.

"Oh, I've already condensed it. Will there be any problems with this?"
