Upon hearing Lin Ruo's suggestion, A Liu was not pleased; instead, she immediately began to frantically sway her willow branches in refusal.
Although it is currently level eight, it knows that the gap between it and its master has not narrowed with the increase in level, but has instead widened. Its attack methods are completely ineffective against its master's defense. A single freeze from its master can completely destroy its defense. How can it fight like this? There is really no need to torture itself.
Seeing that A-Liu refused so quickly, Lin Ruo knew what she was worried about, so he chuckled and continued to push the issue, "I won't use any superpowers, I'll just fight you with my physical strength. I just want to see how effective it is after eating so many of Lao Bai's fruits."
Upon hearing that Lin Ruo wasn't using any special abilities, A Liu's wildly swaying willow branches paused and suddenly straightened up. If it weren't for the power of special abilities, it wouldn't be afraid of anything relying solely on its physical strength. Even if its master was incredibly strong, could her small size possibly be stronger than it? In an instant, it felt confident again.
No matter how powerful the master is, there is still a huge gap between her physical fitness and her superpowers. It is at least level eight, and it is one of the best among level eight mutated plants!
As if afraid that Lin Ruo would regret it, it hurriedly tapped the willow branches and immediately shrank back outside. Lin Ruo could clearly see the impatient emotion in the few willow branches.
Lin Ruo took a step and followed him out. All the dogs in the house had expressions of watching a good show and ran out after him.
They had already fought Lin Ruo before, and they had seen Lin Ruo rely solely on his physical strength. They were badly beaten back then, and A Liu even mocked them. Now it's finally its turn.
As soon as Lin Ruo landed near A Liu, A Liu's willow branches immediately attacked her. It knew to use sneak attacks, but it only used a dozen or so branches, knowing that she didn't use her special abilities and not daring to use its full strength for fear of hurting Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo was as cunning as a mudfish burrowing into the mud, impossible to catch. Her speed was simply too fast; even the fastest willow branch couldn't keep up with her teleportation speed.
A-Liu was not convinced, so she added more and more willow branches, and even used blocking tactics against Lin Ruo, but Lin Ruo was able to cleverly evade them every time.
Lin Ruo lightly touched the ground with her toes, leaping dozens of meters into the air and successfully dodging the willow branches that were attacking the ground. Instantly, hundreds of willow branches in the air coiled towards Lin Ruo like giant pythons. She thought she wouldn't be able to get any leverage while in mid-air, but unexpectedly, she turned her body in mid-air, dodged a willow branch, touched the branch with her toes, and darted towards the main body of the willow.
A-Liu and Lin Ruo fought for half an hour. Lin Ruo did not fight back and kept dodging A-Liu's willow branches. A-Liu used hundreds of willow branches but still managed to touch the hem of her clothes.
Finally, Ah Liu gave up. It knew that even if it doubled the number of willow branches, it still couldn't catch her. She was too fast. Sometimes, when it stretched out its branches, it could only touch the afterimage she left behind.
A-Liu gestured at Lin Ruo for a long time, and Lin Ruo laughed. A-Liu said that she was cheating, not fighting head-on, and only dodging.
Actually, Lin Ruo didn't want to fight back, but she was afraid of hurting A Liu. Although these willow branches could grow back after being broken, they would still consume A Liu's energy, and Lin Ruo didn't want these willow branches to break in her hands.
With a flick of her finger, an ordinary alloy longsword appeared in her hand. She had retrieved this longsword from the armory of the Qinglin Gang in City C. It had never been used and the blade was brand new and shiny.
She casually twirled her long sword with a backhand flourish, and the next second a stone slab made of underground mineral material appeared beneath her feet. She used all her strength to slash fiercely at the stone slab.
The difference in materials between an ordinary alloy knife and a stone slab made of underground minerals would have been fatal for anyone else. However, when Lin Ruo swung his knife, a crisp "crack" was heard, without any loud impact. This indicated that the person wielding the knife knew how to apply force, and the blade had completely sunk into the stone slab.
Afu and the others stared in disbelief at the huge stone slab on the ground with a crack several meters wide. Putting aside the difference in materials, this stone slab was more than ten meters long and wide, hundreds of times larger than the alloy knife, yet it was so easily cleaved open with such a large crack.
This shows how powerful the strike was. The problem is that Lin Ruo didn't use any energy at all; the damage was caused solely by the force of her body. She didn't even charge up her power!
Seeing the power of that strike, A-Liu, who had just called Lin Ruo a cheat, paused for a moment and then turned around to fawn over Lin Ruo with willow branches. Her obsequious manner made A-Shou and A-Lu roll their eyes. Where did her arrogance go? She admitted defeat so quickly. They could use this to look down on A-Liu in the future.
Ah Liu didn't care about anything else; all she wanted was for the competition to end quickly. She didn't want to end up like Ah Shou, getting beaten up badly before surrendering. After all, only those who suffer know the pain.
Having roughly grasped her current physical strength, Lin Ruo naturally wouldn't insist on continuing the competition.
She smiled and touched the unruly willow branches. With a thought, she took out the corpse of a level 6 mutated beast from her spatial storage. The spatial blade sliced across the corpse, instantly dividing it into several pieces, which fell into the food bowl and tree pit that had suddenly appeared on the platform.
"Alright, the test is over, and I have a general understanding of my physical strength after the upgrade. I need to practice my abilities a bit more. You guys eat something first."
This mutated beast was quite large; even with Ah Liu and Lao Bai, they couldn't possibly eat it in one meal.
Seeing Lin Ruo's eager expression, even though they wanted to get closer to their master, they knew it wasn't the right time. They nodded and lowered their heads to eat the mutated beast meat in the bowl.
At this moment, Lin Ruo spread out all her mental energy. After this upgrade, the area covered by her mental energy has expanded considerably. Previously, it was only within a radius of 30 kilometers, but now it can reach a radius of 50 kilometers.
In other words, she was standing in the middle of the mountain, and with her mental power fully extended, she could cover the entire mountain. The entire mountain was within her monitoring range, and she could know about any movement on the mountain immediately and use her mental power to retaliate.
What's even more surprising is that with this upgrade of her spatial ability, her advanced move is actually a spatial domain. Although Lin Ruo had previously researched and developed a spatial domain, this is completely different from before.
Previously, Lin Ruo was essentially using the spatial energy within her own space. Now, however, she can mobilize the spatial energy of the outside world for her own use. Even in the outside world, she has become the controller of space.
This is a fundamental change, how could Lin Ruo not be pleasantly surprised?
