And though it was only lifted for a second, it costed Zhi Ruo a injury. Because Alberu's fist hit Zhi Ruo directly into the stomach before she plummeted away opposite of her opponent's direction. Though it did help that her superior strength helped her lessen the damage that was done on her stomach.A injury was still an injury. Zhi Ruo had a feeling that Alberu was trying to capture her into place with that punch, but instincts made it so that she plummeted away from her opponent directly. And her instincts were correct, because by the second, the place where Alberu's fist connected suddenly burned.In haste Zhi Ruo tried to look down on the place where Alberu touched, only to find a mark etched directly on her pale skin. The clothes around the area was burned off directly. Zhi Ruo found out with wide eyes that she could not move even if she wanted to. Her eyes were the only thing that could move. Zhōngguó on her hand vibrated restlessly, and Zhi Ruo could feel the wraith devourers

The girl didn't get to breathe not even for a moment, because the second the shackles of light went for the wraith devourers. Some were also instantly reaching out towards Zhi Ruo who was a distance away from Alberu. Zhōngguó on Zhi Ruo's hands vibrated restlessly upon sensing the numerous chains heading towards them.There was a sigh that left Zhi Ruo as she popped another pill unto her mouth, she faced the incoming chains with an impatient gaze. There was fractures in her skin from Qi overload, but that didn't seem to bother her, because as quickly as Qi entered her system, she was also expelling them at higher rate.Clang clang clang.Continuous clinging of metal echoed throughout the arena as Zhi Ruo smacked every chain that was heading straight at her way with Zhōngguó on her hand. Seeing this scene rendered not only Alberu speechless, but also the audience that were watching ; specifically those that had prior knowledge or experiences with the light element (via rumors, researc

Patriarch Ye sheepishly glanced at everyone in the room as he shrugged nonchalantly. And in return, everyone in the room looked at him with an almost broken expression. Like they could not believe that Patriarch Ye could even make that expression. Yuan Chuanli beside the Patriarch, however, could only shake his head."You know how our practice goes." The patriarch started, inkling his head towards the fight that was broadcasted on the board in front of them. "Though it's not common knowledge, you guys should know the main essence of our techniques." He said to his old friends.In response, the patriarch got some few eye rolls. "I know you Ye fellows value your uniqueness, and that is how you distinguish yourselves." A old woman crossed her arms as she address the fight. "However, do you honestly think that, 'that' is from your technique? Though I can somehow see it in the child's moves, however, that spell, it surely isn't from the Ye clan."Patriarch Ye, and Yuan Chuanli listened sil

Zhi Ruo didn't want to ruin the whole thing by warning Alberu that the chains are not really harming the wraith devourers like he thought they were. He looked far too pleased by the fact that his chains were wrapped around the wraith devourers at last.Does he not notice it? Zhi Ruo thought, but upon hearing the pleased laugh that came off from Alberu's lips, Zhi Ruo summarized that of course he didn't. The girl didn't dwaddle long, she wasn't worried about the wraith devourers. Seeing that they were fine. She dashed straight back unto Alberu while his hands was occupied by the chains around the wraith devourers. In response, Alberu was late on raising his arms blocking the fist that was aiming straight at his guts. He was distracted, and forgot that he doesn't have his light armor anymore to block the majority of the burnt of the attack. With a Qi laced fist, Zhi Ruo hit Alberu with a force that she used to carry Zhōngguó.Her fist made some sounds because of the force that she exe

Zhi Ruo raised a brow at Alberu upon hearing him. There was smile that quirked on her lips, but she ultimately faced the practitioner again. The audience was at lost as to what was happening but Zhi Ruo didn't care. The girl stared unblinkingly at the practitioner, the ancient weapon on top of Alberu gained momentum.And by that, even as Alberu was fighting off the influence the ancient weapon had on his body. It was futile attempt because Zhōngguó was already on top of him. It was almost impossible to get the ancient weapon off with a realm like Alberu's, who only went through one tribulation. Alberu was embarrassed and humiliated by the fact that Zhi Ruo blatantly turned around and tuned him out in the middle of the fight. However, as embarrassed as he was, he didn't admit defeat. Which was probably the only thing that Zhi Ruo wanted from him right now.Rather than admitting defeat, the masked man was gathering Qi and started to chant. Zhi Ruo heard the chanting, it was almost as if
