Chapter 242: Dominating! The Tone of the Young Empress

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

…

The Mysterious Ice Bloodline is one of the three major special abilities, known for its formidable combat power.

At the same level, the lethal power is always slightly stronger than others.

“In the Vital Energy Refining Realm Level Eight and with the Mysterious Ice Bloodline.” Some diners discussed, “I heard this young man’s name is Yuwen JianYe, from the direct line of the Yuwen Clan. He is quite impressive, he does not disappoint his ancestors.”

Even Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised, “I didn’t expect this shy young man to have the Mysterious Ice Bloodline. I’m afraid our family’s Zongsheng might have some trouble.”

“Our family’s Zongsheng also has a War Body-type Bloodline,” Liu Ruolan said, “Although he’s still young, his potential for growth is immense.”

Wang Zongsheng is one of the most outstanding among the young males of the Wang family. His inherent talent is not bad, and with the rapid development of the Wang family over the years, they’ve obtained more resources.

Therefore, his second brother, Wang Shouyi, expanded the fish stall business and earned quite a lot of money for the family. At the same time, he also gained a huge amount of Contribution Points. They exchanged many Heaven and Earth Treasures to improve Wang Zongsheng’s Bloodline Talent.

Wang Shouzhe and his wife also secretly assisted their nephew. After all, the girls in the family are too exceptional, which may cause an imbalance between yin and yang. They still need some outstanding boys to balance things out.

Now, his Bloodline has entered Middle Grade, Fourth Rank. Compared with the Old Ancestor Longyan when she first entered the Academic Palace, his progress is not far behind.

In addition, he is very ambitious and diligent.

Meanwhile

On the fighting stage, Wang Zongsheng was thrilled. Holding two Octagonal Hammers, he took a fighting stance, “Wang Zongsheng of the Ping’an Wang Family, please instruct.”

In recent years, the family has collected many Cultivation Methods and Profound Martial Fighting Techniques, greatly enriching their library. Relying solely on what came from the Old Ancestor is not enough.

Therefore, there are quite a few children in the family who like to practice unusual Profound Martial Fighting Techniques.

Wang Zongsheng is a typical example. While he practices Wang Family’s Xuan Yuan Technique, he also cultivates the Quenching Body Horizontal Refining Technique. This allows him to utilize his power-type War Body Bloodline to its fullest extent.

“Yuwen JianYe from the Longzuo Yuwen Clan requests instructions.” He said, pulling out a delicate longsword, the blade as white as ice. Clearly, even if this sword is not a Spiritual Artifact, it is a high-quality weapon.

“Roar!”

Wang Zongsheng roared and charged forward. Every step he took resounded like a raging bull charging forward.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The sounds resembled pounding drums, echoing like a beat against one’s heart. Suddenly, it gave people the feeling that a fearsome heavy beast was charging straight at them.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he charged in front of Yuwen JianYe. By extending his hands and holding them tightly, the two heavy hammers swung from both sides to collide in the middle, causing a thunderous noise.

This collision!

If Yuwen JianYe gets hit by it, even if he doesn’t die, he will be severely injured.

Then again, he is not an easy target, with nimble movements, he quickly retreated.

“Clang!”

A metallic collision sounded, heavy and deafening, resonating outwards into a shock wave mixed with Mysterious Energy. It was so loud that it caused a throbbing pain in the eardrums.

Wild!

While Wang Zongsheng usually appears naive and guileless, once he starts fighting, he becomes as savage as a peerless general on a battlefield. Every action he takes is domineering and efficient, yet also contains terrifying lethality.

“Excellent!”

The knowledgeable diners all applauded. This unknown kid from the Ping’an Wang Family fights so dominantly and fiercely, it makes people’s blood boil. He is truly a promising talent.

However, Yuwen JianYe seemed exceptional too. Instead of confronting Wang Zongsheng head-on, he relied on his agile and swift movement technique, constantly shifting. With the swing of his longsword, his Bloodline’s Mysterious Ice ability was stimulated, making the surrounding air colder.

Especially on the ground of the fighting stage, where frost began to form unknowingly. Although he couldn’t freeze a river several meters in radius with one sword like the Old Ancestor Longyan, under the protection of his sword aura, the entire fighting stage gradually turned frosty like a snowy landscape.

Gradually, Wang Zongsheng’s body became more and more stiff, and his movements slower. His clothes, face, and even his hair were covered with a thin layer of frost. The bone-chilling coldness seemed on the verge of freezing his blood.

“Roar!”

Wang Zongsheng roared again. Under the stimulant of the War Body, his bloodline boiled, and in a split second, the frost all evaporated into a mist. His movements became more rapid and forceful.

Clang… clang… The hammers smashed against the ground.

The once intact fight stage was now filled with holes and flying debris, which forced Yuwen JianYe to keep dodging awkwardly.

This annoyed Lady Biliand, who scolded him, “You bullish kid, are you here to exchange skills or to destroy the fighting stage? Does repairing a fighting stage not cost money?”

“If my lady is worried about the cost of the fighting stage, I’ll cover it.” Wang Shouzhe casually tossed out two thousand-gold banknotes, which floated in the air towards Lady Bilian, and said loudly, “Zongsheng, fight hard, even if you tear down the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, your Fourth Uncle can afford to pay for it.”

Wang Shouzhe is also a protective person. How could he allow his children to be looked down upon outside?

And once this generous statement was uttered, an overwhelming aura immediately suppressed Lady Bilian.

“You…” Lady Bilian was infuriated and triumphant, taking the two gold tickets, then throwing them back, scolding angrily, “Wang, are you showing off just because you have money? We can repair our own stage.”

In comparison, her morale seemed somewhat insufficient.

It was very obvious that she knew Wang could afford the compensation. Living for so long, this was the first time she had been splurged like this by someone. Normally, she was the one throwing money at others.

Many wealthy and powerful customers were astonished, looking at Wang Shouzhe. Good heavens, which family did he come from? Such extravagance! Even Lady Bilian didn’t dare to take his offer.

“Yes, Fourth Uncle.” Wang Zongsheng, seeing his fourth uncle support him, was instantly invigorated, his blood boiling.

With a roar, he fiercely attacked Yuwen Jianye again! The stage under him was broken even more.

The customers praised him, this young man was only at Level 7 of Qi Refinement, but so fierce. If one day he reached the Spirit Platform realm, then it would be intolerable. Wouldn’t he smash the entire stage with a few hits?

The fight lasted for almost half an hour.

Despite his valiant effort, Wang Zongsheng ultimately collapsed due to his age and lack of cultivation. Gradually, he ran out of Mysterious Energy. In contrast, Yuwen Jianye seemed shy but was actually quite clever, avoiding his blows continuously. Only when his opponent showed signs of weakness, did he strike back intensively.

Sword light enveloped Wang Zongsheng, and he was only able to defend himself.

A moment later, Wang Zongsheng finally gave in and was defeated.

“Good.” Lady Bilian also cheered, her face filled with joy. Although the fight was a little difficult, they finally won, which made her feel avenged. Then she got on the stage, gave her brother-in-law a cultivation pill, and helped him wipe his sweat.

No one knew if she was raising this brother-in-law as her son?

Customers with discerning eyes were also full of praise. Both Yuwen Jianye and Wang Zongsheng were very good, especially Wang Zongsheng, who at such a young age had already reached level 7 of Qi Refinement.

Being able to fight against Yuwen Jianye of Level 8 of Qi Refinement for so long was definitely outstanding.

“Fourth Uncle, I lost.” After climbing down from the stage, Wang Zongsheng was a little discouraged. He had previously fought against various independent cultivators at Level 8 of Qi Refinement and even won against them easily multiple times. He had even won against those at Level 9 of Qi Refinement. But now, he had not thought that Yuwen Jianye would be so tough, leaving him utterly deflated.

“You did well enough,” Wang Shouzhe patted him on the shoulder, “Yuwen Jianye has an extraordinary bloodline and solid fundamentals. He is both older and has a higher cultivation base than you. If you two were the same age, he might not have been able to beat you.”

Wang Shouzhe’s words were not purely to comfort him. In his opinion, Yuwen Jianye’s strength was on par with the first challenge in the trial arena, which was indeed not weak.

If Wang Zongsheng were to challenge the first round, he still needs more polish.

“Zongsheng, you did quite well overall, but your movement technique is just intimidating, not fast enough.” Wang Luoqiu stepped forward and said, “You don’t need to always be fast, but you need to cultivate a technique that allows for sudden bursts of extreme speed. When you go back to the Academic Palace, search for it, and I will help you with special training. Your Sixth Aunt is very experienced in dealing with slippery people like this.”

As she spoke, she seemingly glanced at Wang Luo Jing unintentionally. Clearly, she considered Wang Luo Jing to be a master slippery person, and that Yuwen Jianye was too green in comparison.

“Humph! Zongsheng, don’t listen to her nonsense; Fifth Aunt will help you with special training when we get back,” Wang Luo Jing sneered, “Fourth brother said that this is called the kite style.”

“Whether it’s the eel style or kite style. Zongsheng, your sixth aunt tells you, when you encounter these kinds of people, just one word, smack them to death with one slap.”

“Thanks for your guidance, Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt.” Wang Zongsheng said respectfully, but he was sweating. If these two aunts were going to abuse him together in the future, how would he survive his days at the Academic Palace?

Moreover, these two aunts, both were not easy to deal with. The most important thing was their methods, they were too brutal.

“Zongsheng is quite lucky,” Liu Ruolan chuckled softly from the side, “He has two aunts and a sister accompanying him to school. No one dares to bully you.”

“Hehe.” Wang Zongsheng laughed innocently, he seemed quite fortunate on the surface, “My aunts, sister, and aunt-in-law are all lovely people.”

“Alright, alright, stop trying to flatter us.”

Wang Luoqiu said impatiently, “If we weren’t letting you practice, we would have already had dinner.”

As she spoke, she stepped onto the stage with her hands behind her back.

Then, she looked at Lady Bilian and said casually, “Aunt, you can step down from the stage now, right? Don’t delay our match.”

“You little girl, who are you calling ‘aunt’?” Lady Bilian was irritated, “My Jianye just had a tough fight, you should at least allow him to recover his Mysterious Energy. Otherwise, it would not be an honourable victory for you.”

“No need, he has enough Mysterious Energy.” Wang Luoqiu showed three fingers and said calmly, “Three moves!”

“What do you mean?” Lady Bilian was confused.

Wang Luoqiu looked placid, speaking as if stating a fact, “If I can’t beat him in three moves, I will concede defeat.”

What?

The customers were all stunned. This young girl was too bold!

Wang Shouzhe also slapped his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless. This girl, always has to show off before a fight. Can’t she change that?

However, her momentum was indeed impressive. She quite resembled a young empress.
