Chapter 387: Chapter 388: Who’s the Genius? Who’s the Trash? (Part 4)
In the Central Continent, how powerful is the Academy?
Not only does it recruit disciples from various major powers and maintain ongoing relationships with them, but it also provides geniuses for the Medicine Sect, a sect that surpasses all other powers.
If the Central State Academy became her backing, who in the Xiao Family would dare to bully her?
“Old man, that girl, couldn’t be the disciple you just took in, could she?” Xiao Baixuan thought hard and finally came to a rather reliable conclusion.
“Disciple?” the Dean scoffed, “I wish, but unfortunately, I’m not that fortunate.”
Xiao Baixuan was completely dumbfounded.
This old man, being the Dean of the Central State Academy, actually said he wasn’t fortunate enough to become her master? Aside from being related to Xiao Feng, what special background could that girl have?
His gaze firmly locked onto the girl in the center of the combat arena, a mysterious light flickering in his dark pupils…
In the arena, Mu Ruyue raised her sword to block a powerful incoming attack; she stepped back a few steps, and with a fierce push of her palm, she thrust the sword forward.
“Infernal Ember, second level!”
Boom!
A burst of flames surged from her sword, sweeping toward Lin Ruoying like a violent storm.
Lin Ruoying’s expression froze for a moment, her beautiful face displaying disdain. Her longsword suddenly flew through the air, and numerous swords scattered out, connected by a streak of red light to form a parallel wall that blocked the oncoming storm of flames!
The storm forcefully crashed into the wall formed by the swords, creating a thunderous noise that filled the sky. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, both the wall and flames dissipated into a cloud of red smoke…
“Today, I must kill you!”
Lin Ruoying’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as she swiftly flew towards Mu Ruyue.
Seeing her opponent charging ferociously towards her, Mu Ruyue quickly retreated backwards, dodging the attack with a side step, and then with a slight lift of her longsword, a powerful flame shot out, transforming into a giant beast in the sky.
“Infernal Ember, third level!”
As this icy voice sounded, Lin Ruoying’s face instantly turned pale, staring in shock at the formidable beast, her eyes filled with deep terror…
Too fast, much too fast!
Before she could react, the beast formed of flames had already pounced in front of her, engulfing her pale face.
Those who had previously felt disdainful toward Mu Ruyue were now as though they had been fiercely slapped in the face, completely astounded, unable to utter a single word.
Lin Ruoying, with her Advanced Innate strength, was actually defeated by her?
And from start to finish, she had only used three of the same moves!
“No!”
Wu Yi suddenly stood up, shouting loudly with all his might, “Ruoying!!!”
His eyes filled with sorrow, he looked despairingly at the square covered in flames, his heart burning with intense killing intent.
“You actually resorted to killing!” he looked up at Mu Ruyue, his teeth clenched as he spoke.
Honestly, Mu Ruyue hadn’t expected the Infernal Ember to be so powerful. Since receiving the ancestral swordsmanship at home, she had never had a chance to use it.
It just so happened that Lin Ruoying came knocking, and she became an object for Mu Ruyue to utilize.
The Infernal Ember, with each level, truly adds to its power, and currently, she lacked the power required for the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword; thus, the appearance of the Infernal Ember was like timely help in the snow…
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow and smiled, possessing the Fiery Sword Technique, her strength would become even more powerful.
