“Shall we all come up together?”
If these words were spoken by anyone else, the most they would receive would be labels like “arrogant” or “disdainful.”
All of us are disciples of the Xuanling Sect, what makes you think you can take on several of us by yourself?
But if the one speaking is Tang Xin, that’s a different story.
She has demonstrated her unpredictable strength to everyone in the Xuanling Sect, time and time again.
If she says to come at her all at once, she might actually have the ability to take on several people simultaneously.
“Is Sister Tang suggesting…”
According to the rules of the disciples’ grand competition, if one can successfully challenge the top disciple, the rewards are more than ten times the usual.
But even with such a temptation, there are few who dare to entertain the thought of challenging her.
The sect has its reasons for setting up such rules. Do you really think the tenfold reward is that easy to obtain?
One-on-one, it’s highly likely there’s no one among the disciples who can outmatch her.
“If it’s many against one…”
Tang Xin’s words eventually stirred some people’s ambitions.
She’s given the opportunity, if we don’t at least try, wouldn’t we be seen as cowards in the eyes of the elders?
After some commotion below the stage, two Foundation Building seventh-grade direct disciples stepped onto the stage and gave Tang Xin a respectful bow.
“Please enlighten us.”
These two were among the stronger direct disciples, easily handling challenges from other disciples.
“Come on.”
Tang Xin stood with her hands behind her back, showing no sign of emotion.
And the less she showed, the greater the pressure felt by the two direct disciples.
Is this the aura of confidence only a true expert possesses? As if the outcome of the contest is decided before it even begins!
“Make your move,” Tang Xin said, “I’ll let you strike first.”
Such disdainful words…
That frivolous look in her eyes…
That mocking stance…
Truly worthy of being the top disciple of Xuanling Sect, she exudes an aura of invincibility without even lifting a finger!
With no choice but to act, even though regret is already setting in, the two direct disciples had to unleash their best techniques, attacking the person opposite them.
“Palm Thunder!”
“Golden Light Blade!”
Two mid-level spells that only genius cultivators at the higher stages of Foundation Building could execute, materialized in an instant.
Lightning and golden blades, emitting a fierce aura, aimed at Tang Xin from both sides, their power sufficient to break through any defense below the Golden Core stage.
Boom!
However, just as the spells were about to hit the girl, she conjured a lotus platform under her feet, and like a banished immortal, she elegantly stepped through the air, dodging the attacks with a graceful posture.
Effortless, leisurely.
“She’s too strong…”
The two direct disciples thought to themselves.
Although they had anticipated that their spells wouldn’t cause her much harm, to dodge while maintaining such an expert demeanor, who in Xuanling Sect, no, even in the entire Qingzhou, could achieve this?
“She’s too strong!”
Even the disciples watching from below the stage, though not feeling the pressure themselves, were captivated by the chief sister’s elegant figure.
Despite the oppression, the way Sister Tang fights, truly makes one yearn.
This is also one of the reasons why she was able to win over many disciples of the Xuanling Sect.
“Your magic is passable,” Tang Xin stepped off the lotus platform, gently landing on the ground, and spoke in a light tone, “Next, let’s test how good your hand-to-hand combat skills are.”
“Yes, Senior Sister!”
Having witnessed Tang Xin’s “strength,” the two challengers knew they couldn’t win and had abandoned the idea of fighting, humbly accepting the teachings of their senior sister.
“Too slow.”
“Too light.”
“Too soft.”
In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the chief senior sister also demonstrated extraordinary strength, especially the punches she swung at her opponents’ faces, which always exploded with unimaginable powerful force.
After a dozen moves.
“Thank you for the guidance, Senior Sister!”
The two direct disciples, with bruised noses and swollen faces, gratefully bowed and then conceded defeat and stepped down.
Seeing this, the elder smiled with satisfaction.
“This is the responsibility of being the chief disciple. Even while defending the arena, she does not forget to nurture the younger generation of the sect. It’s so touching!”
With the elder saying so, the disciples below had to reevaluate this chief senior sister who was “somewhat” strict on normal days.
“Uh, why do I feel like she’s just plainly hitting people…”
“Short-sighted! Senior Sister Tang must want them to comprehend the essence of certain moves through being beaten!”
The two direct disciples, facing Senior Sister Tang Xin, were like little chicks without the power to fight back.
It looks like this Xuanling Sect disciple competition is going to end like this.
“I declare…”
The person in charge of hosting stepped forward, ready to conclude.
“Wait a moment,” Tang Xin on the stage unexpectedly interrupted, “There’s one more thing.”
She looked down, focusing her gaze on the two young girls.
“Shui Qiu, Su Ling, come up here,” she said indifferently, “There’s something I need to give you in person.”
Something?
Su Ling had a look of “What the heck are you talking about” while Shui Qiu, without any doubt, obediently made her way to the stage.
The sword cultivator girl observed the situation.
Being watched by so many disciples, she felt it inappropriate to go against her senior sister’s wishes and reluctantly followed onto the stage.
“What are you trying to do?”
Su Ling asked.
“First, I owe you an apology,” Tang Xin’s tone changed, speaking with a sincere expression, “Even though it was beyond my control, I shouldn’t have peeped at you taking a bath.”
The sword cultivator girl was initially stunned, then her face quickly turned red.
【Current Embarrassment Value: 88】
“What? What is Senior Sister Tang talking about?” “Bathing? Senior Sister Tang and Su Ling?” “What? Do they have some unspeakable secret?”
Everyone who heard this sentence was also stunned at first, then began whispering among themselves, even the elders were no exception.
“You,” Su Ling snapped back to reality, her face quickly turning ashen, “What nonsense are you spouting in front of everyone!”
【Current Embarrassment Value: 0】
Tang Xin ignored her and turned to look at Shui Qiu, speaking sincerely again.
“I owe you an apology too,” she looked at Shui Qiu, “I lied before, the truth is I’ve always liked girls with big chests.”
“Senior, Senior Sister—!”
Above the head of the girl with blue eyes, a large cloud of steam suddenly appeared, making her look as if she was boiling over.
【Current Favorability: 100】
“To make up for my mistake,” Tang Xin took out the items from the happiness package, smiling as he said, “I’ve prepared gifts for you.”
“A moisturizing shampoo and conditioner set, and a silk lingerie that fits any size, aren’t they perfect for you?”
“Tang, Tang Xin!”
“Sister, Senior Sister!”
【Current Shyness Value: 0】
【Current Favorability: 100】
Now is the moment—
