"It's clear that Senior Brother Shi really hates people like me to the core."
"How about this, I'll have a spar with you, and if you win, I'll give you as many pills and spiritual treasures as you want."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hong's eyes widened, and he excitedly asked, "Really?"
They just said they looked down on the scions of noble families who relied on elixirs to build up their cultivation, but if they themselves become beneficiaries, they'll show a completely different face.
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Zhenzhen's lips, and then she nodded: "Of course it's true. If you lose, you can postpone the punishment for now."
Although I hate to admit it, this person in front of me really has nothing of value to offer as a bargaining chip.
Others at the scene clearly noticed this as well.
Tianhe Hall forbids its disciples from fighting privately, but encourages them to spar with each other. Those watching the spectacle, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, cheered and jeered from below the stage.
"This is clearly a losing proposition. Shi Hong, you're trying to get something for nothing."
"Besides, he has a metal spiritual root, which is perfect for countering Ling Zhen, and his cultivation is already at the fourth level of the Great Spiritual Master. Isn't this bullying a young girl?"
Shi Hong felt the disdain of those around him. He leaped forward and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll give you three moves first, so that no one will say I won unfairly."
Lin Zhenzhen stood with her hands behind her back. Although the two were not in the same league at all, and the girl looked like a delicate porcelain doll in front of him, she had an aura that remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.
"No need to be so polite, just go ahead and do it." Lin Zhenzhen said with a smile, her words light and casual, but to Shi Hong, they were a great insult.
He glared angrily and shouted, "No, you must make three moves first."
Seeing his insistence, Lin Zhenzhen could only helplessly shrug her shoulders and say, "Alright, but in return, I won't use my spiritual power for these three moves."
Not using spiritual power? What kind of approach is that?
Before anyone could react, the girl on the stage suddenly changed her posture, stepping forward with her left foot and clasping her fists in front of her cheekbones.
"Excuse me, Senior Brother Shi!"
The moment she finished speaking, she moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Zhenzhen's right leg bent at the knee and swept straight towards the side of Shi Hong's knee joint.
Shi Hong felt as if his lower limbs had been hit hard. The intense pain came two seconds later, and he swayed and fell heavily onto the stone pillar.
Lin Zhenzhen smiled with delight. Perhaps because cultivators have better physical strength, the sweeping kick from Muay Thai was doubly lethal.
It seems that Ning Zhen's hundreds of thousands of private lessons in the last small world were not in vain!
The scene was completely silent. Lingzhen had actually knocked down Shi Hong, who was practically a tank, without even using her spiritual power!
Someone below whistled, and the murmurs gradually grew louder.
On the upper floor of the pavilion behind the Qi Refining Field, Xuan Yuanzhao narrowed his eyes and locked onto that slender figure.
Lingzhen stood ramrod straight, her profile showing a carefree and unrestrained smile. Her dark red outfit accentuated her slender waist, yet she didn't appear weak; instead, she exuded a unique sense of strength.
She seemed somewhat unfamiliar, causing Xuan Yuanzhao to unconsciously put down the book in his hand.
"You attacked before I even got my footing!" Shi Hong's dark face contorted with embarrassment. "This isn't over yet! This time, I won't let my guard down!"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and nodded: "Are you standing still now?"
The next second, she suddenly turned her hips and shoulders to the left, pushed off with her feet, and thrust her right fist straight forward toward his face.
When the area of the face rich in the trigeminal nerve is struck, the person will usually experience severe pain and lose the ability to move.
Shi Hong's chin was struck hard. Even a cultivator is just an ordinary person when he doesn't have spiritual power to protect his body.
He staggered backward several steps, then knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. He remained in a daze for a full half minute.
Lin Zhenzhen shook her right hand, which had been numb from the shock, and smiled, "Senior Brother Shi, can you still stand up?"
Her smile was so nonchalant that it gave her an arrogant aura.
In the Xuan Tian Continent, the strong reign supreme. Before endless monsters and enemies, strength is the absolute rule.
The crowd stirred, as if they had transformed into spectators in a boxing ring, their innate admiration for the strong fueling their excitement.
Gradually, someone called out Lingzhen's name, a second person began to echo it, a third, a fourth...
"Otherwise, I think we should end today's competition here. Senior Brother Shi, you can admit defeat now."
The person in front of her slowly rose. Shi Hong's expression was gloomy, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. He was like a mountain, casting a shadow that enveloped Lin Zhenzhen completely.
Shi Hong looked up fiercely and squeezed out three words through gritted teeth: "Impossible."
[Wow, this behemoth is incredibly resilient, host. But the pain shield buff is about to expire, what should we do?]
Lin Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched: [What to do? Just bear with it! Also, speak properly, don't try to act cute.]
Shi Hong gritted his teeth secretly: "You bastard, I'll tear you to pieces later!"
[If you can't handle losing, don't compete! Ah, the buff card has expired!]
Lin Zhenzhen rotated her ankle while observing.
Whether it's a water or wood elemental root, it leans towards defense and healing, rather than offense, so she must seize this last opportunity to take the initiative.
She focused her attention on a point on her elbow, bending her forearm and upper arm like a sharp blade, slicing through the air and aiming with all her might at Shi Hong's head.
The audience could only see a dark afterimage. After feeling the overwhelming threat, Shi Hong's pupils dilated, and a faint golden light appeared.
[Oh no! Host, stop right now!]
Sensing something was wrong, Lin Zhenzhen immediately withdrew her strength.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment her elbow struck, it felt like she had hit a steel plate. The greater the force of Lin Zhenzhen's blow, the stronger the impact that bounced back onto her.
Then came a "crack" sound, the sound of the elbow bone breaking.
The Golden Spirit Root corresponds to extremely strong defensive capabilities; Shi Hong just used spiritual power to enhance his face.
It was as if Lin Zhenzhen, with her mortal body, was crashing into a heavy mecha at high speed. Indescribable pain swept over her brain, and her face turned pale instantly.
A smile appeared on Shi Hong's face, but before he could be smug for more than a few seconds, a tremendous spiritual power surged from all directions. The unprecedented pressure made him tremble uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a figure in a black robe suddenly appeared.
Xuanyuan Zhao looked at the man in front of him who was prostrate on the ground because he could not withstand the suppression of his spiritual power.
He parted his thin lips slightly and said coldly, "Shi Hong, you've broken the rules."
