Zhi Ruo was an impatient woman, never was patient and probably never will. The requirements for her to be able to make use of of her skills was there. And she wasn't about to pass up the opportunity. And so, without further ado, large amounts of sand crept up from behind Zhi Ruo steadily.There was a flicker in Alberu's eyes upon seeing the sand that Zhi Ruo was conjuring up. He could only watch helplessly with his hands up. As the sand crowded around Alberu's sheild, Zhi Ruo didn't try and make the sand slither unto the cracks. But rather, she merely did it so that it looks like it was hovering over the shield that Alberu put up.One of the empty capsule that was loitering around Zhi Ruo, floating idly without any spells inside, came up and hovered around Zhi Ruo's shoulders. Soon, Alberu noticed the capsule, instantly a bad premonition crept up to him that echoed inside his mind— nevermind 'echo' his thoughts was screaming that his sheild was about to be put down whether he likes i
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
"Ahh I'm so angry." Alberu muttered under his breath a bit too balefully, dodging another strike that went for his throat. Ignoring the ripple of the air around him that would've knocked him away if he wasn't wearing his armor. The fact that the more the fight dragged on, the more Zhōngguó seemed to get stronger made him more annoyed as time went on. And forget about speed advantage, because of Zhōngguó's, and his constant harassment of the gravitational force around Alberu, ultimately fucked his center and made him unable to move as he pleased. And now, when the masked man tried so very hard to pick back up his speed advantage, he could only match Zhi Ruo's speed.Which was useless. You know what else is useless? Alberu's attacks that was 'actually' hitting Zhi Ruo and creating damage. Because of Zhi Ruo's passive regeneration, she doesn't even have to use her healing skill to heal herself. Because the damage that Alberu could deal would just be instantly healed because of the infl
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
However, the audience could have never been more wrong. Zhōngguó may have shrunk. But it's weight and the significance of the gravitational force that the ancient weapon provided, was still very much there. As if she was teasing Alberu, Zhōngguó's weight only continued to get heavier as the ancient weapon started to loosen his control of his weight. The sheer heaviness that Zhōngguó has now, hasn't even reached half of his real weight. If the ancient weapon suddenly went back unto his real weight, then the entire arena, stands, and half of the venue— well ... it would collapse.Yu Zhúlín who was at the stands, looking at the fight after he forfeited, looked at the scene along with the people around him. His lips twitched at the scene, as he found it a little bit too familiar. He instantly recalled the resident librarian who was once under the same thing that Alberu was going through.A shiver quickly went through the poor guy's spine the moment he saw the scene in from of him. Recall
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
A dancing silhouette could be seen flying across the raining valleys. Wait, no not dancing, fighting should be the exact term. It seems to be fighting an invisible force, blow by blow resounded in the empty and wet valley, the wind and rain were blown of by the vigorous action of the silhouette.An open palm strike struck out in the empty space, it seemed to have hit something. It was then followed by a loud resounding crash, in front of the palm on the ground laid a huge crater. And inside that huge crater has a huge hole."Open palm technique, basic 1.." the figure said, it's voice soothing, angelic and godlike, like an immortal speaking from the sky. Making one wanting to hear more."Zhi Ruo! You damn wench!...I'll...get you... next ti-" a laud screeching noise pierced through the air before it suddenly stopped, the owner of the voice finally made itself visible laying inside the giant crater.
:::Zhi Ruo disappeared only to re-apear on a whole new universe.:::_____________________________________Zhi Ruo's POVThe searing headache was not yet dissolved, even after that strange flash of light. The light sucked me in before I could even go to my dimension. I let out an audible groan and sat up.I let my hands wonder around me, seeing that I can't open my eyes yet without flinching. I felt a flimsy clothe covering me and my weakened body. I opened my eyes to try and reach for the phone to call my secretary.When the sight greeted me was a rundown ceiling, holes littered the flimsy wood. I was surprised was an understatement, I was panicking, losing my composure.I bolted from the place where I have been laying, but before I could register anything. Memories flashed through my mind, memories that aren'
