In the instant that Yaoyue was stunned, Dongfang Bubai flashed behind her and slapped down with his palm.
As the dense true energy in his palm quickly broke through the protective true energy around Yaoyue, it landed solidly on Yaoyue's back.
However, the moment his palm landed on Yaoyue, all of Dongfang Bubai's true energy and the fierce energy contained in his palm vanished without a trace.
What remains is only a gentle strength.
With a single palm strike, Yaoyue's body could only stagger forward one step.
Even so, it was enough to determine the winner of this battle.
After taking a step forward, Yaoyue suddenly turned around and said in surprise, "You've been hiding your true abilities all along."
During their last encounter on Blackwood Cliff and in their recent battles, Yaoyue was not unaware of Dongfang Bubai's increased speed.
However, in Yaoyue's estimation, Dongfang Bubai at this point would at most leave a trail of afterimages as he moved.
But now, facing Dongfang Bubai, who instantly split into three afterimages, Yaoyue knew perfectly well that Dongfang Bubai had not been using his full strength since the beginning of Blackwood Cliff.
In response to Yaoyue's question, Dongfang Bubai gave a cold laugh.
"Do you think I'm as brainless as you, all looks and no brains? You're so eager to show off your slight improvement?"
Then, before Yaoyue could speak, Dongfang Bubai said, "From today onwards, whenever I am in this courtyard, I will be the supreme leader. Every three days, I will allow you to enter the main room for one day. Of course, if you wish to light the lamp, there is no time limit."
Unlike Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai has the backing of the Yihua Palace, with powerful experts at the Celestial Realm within the palace as her protectors.
Having been part of the Sun Moon Cult for many years, Dongfang Bubai knew the importance of keeping some trump cards up his sleeve.
Just like now, in the struggle between the two women, he successfully gained the upper hand over Yaoyue when she was caught off guard.
Otherwise, how could they have had the opportunity to leave when they invited Yue to Blackwood Cliff that day?
Even if the two sides are evenly matched these days, it's all just Dongfang Bubai's deliberate act.
The purpose is to make Yaoyue realize clearly, at this moment, who is the eldest and who is the youngest in this family.
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's explanation of the time allotted for entering the main house in the future, Yaoyue replied without hesitation, "Don't even think about it! You think you can dictate my actions?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai gave a light snort, then raised his long sleeves and sighed softly, his voice full of disdain slowly rising.
"What can you do if you're not convinced? Don't forget, I'm currently stronger than you. Wait until you're stronger than me before you try to persuade me or complain!"
After saying that, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue with disdain, then turned and quickly moved towards the city.
On the other hand, Yaoyue, seeing Dongfang Bubai's figure in the distance, was so angry that she slapped the lake surface with more than a dozen palms in succession, and also let out a low roar.
"The East is invincible."
As soon as she spoke, Yaoyue was enraged, and her true energy surged once again.
If Dongfang Bubai were here now, he would definitely be able to feel the power emanating from Yaoyue's true energy fluctuations, which was somewhat different from before.
On the other hand, as the true energy circulated, a hint of joy appeared in Yaoyue's eyes.
"The Mingyu Technique has actually broken through to the eighth level?"
Faced with her breakthrough at this moment, Yaoyue was both delighted and felt a sense of entitlement.
The feeling of being under pressure is different at any time compared to not being under pressure.
Both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue possessed strong personalities that made them never willing to be subordinate to others.
Even Chu Qinghe only had this privilege at night.
This means that when the two women are together, any pressure from the other woman becomes the driving force for them to overcome each other.
This competitive spirit, coupled with the frequency of the two women's battles and their continuous understanding of their own internal energy gained through combat, far surpassed the effects of previous solitary cultivation in seclusion.
Otherwise, martial artists could just stay behind closed doors and focus on their own training. Why would martial artists like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, who have no interest in fame and fortune, bother going around challenging sword masters?
The purpose is to gain self-awareness and improve one's strength through continuous battles.
Naturally, although it was only a short two months, it was no less effective than several years of hard training for Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.
Otherwise, Dongfang Bubai would not have been able to so easily reach the highest level of the modified "Sunflower Manual".
Therefore, the breakthrough of "Mingyu Gong" after many years of stagnation was both unexpected and reasonable in Yaoyue's mind.
However, after a brief moment of joy, Yaoyue's brows furrowed again.
Now that the Mingyu Gong has broken through to the eighth level, Yaoyue is able to surpass Dongfang Bubai in terms of the quality of her true qi.
But what truly troubled Yaoyue was not the issue of internal energy, but rather the speed of Dongfang Bubai.
Even though Yaoyue could catch up with Dongfang Bubai's speed, she couldn't keep up with it herself.
Even if Yaoyue's Mingyu Gong had reached the eighth level, or even if she had entered the ninth level, if she couldn't solve the speed problem, she would still end up as a sitting duck.
Thinking of this, the joy of Yaoyue's recent breakthrough receded like a receding tide.
As her thoughts raced, Yaoyue quickly considered how to resolve the situation before her.
