Lin Fan was actually quite curious to see what kind of trouble these two girls were plotting.
Authentic? Could it be that they were fighting over this?
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly realized, these two apprentices of his were girls after all.
A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea—calm one moment and stormy the next.
Even the smallest matter could act as a fuse for them, exploding so fiercely it could make you question your very existence.
Moreover, Lin Fan had serious doubts about Zhang Erdou’s status as the senior apprentice. When I’m gone, you’re supposed to be in charge. Yet now, you’ve been completely dominated by two girls. Doesn’t that feel embarrassing?
Lin Fan had plenty to say to Zhang Erdou, wanting to scold him fiercely, but he held himself back for now.
“Just see how far you two want to take this.”
With his arms crossed, Lin Fan sat motionless, his meaning clear: Please, continue your performance.
…
Time passed, minute by minute.
Earlier, many disciples had battled, and while these fights seemed exciting to others, to Lin Fan, the seasoned master, they were hardly worth mentioning.
The atmosphere at the scene reached a peak, drawing many from other sects to watch, while elders from these sects offered their evaluations.
“This disciple’s cultivation is merely at the初级 level of the Celestial Realm, yet his displayed strength rivals those at the intermediate level.”
“Just how do the Nine Spirit Sect and the Holy Demon Sect train their disciples to achieve such results?”
…
“Senior apprentice, I’m sorry, but I managed to win,” You Jiuling smirked slightly, her eyebrows lifting.
“Hmph!” Chi Qiao coldly snorted, then stood up, her expression icy.
“Senior apprentice, what exactly are you doing? Can’t you handle losing?” You Jiuling said.
“Junior apprentice, we both agreed that whoever loses must disband the sect and yield to the other wherever they appear,” Chi Qiao said.
“You two juniors, stop playing around. You’re fellow disciples, apprentices of the same master. Don’t let such trivial matters damage your relationship. If the sect leader finds out, he’ll be furious,” Zhang Erdou said.
“Senior apprentice, you said I was inferior to her. Today, I’ll prove myself,” Chi Qiao said earnestly.
“Junior apprentice, don’t frame me like that. When did I ever say that?” Zhang Erdou was startled and immediately protested.
“That day when you were drinking with the senior apprentices, I overheard you from outside,” Chi Qiao said.
“What?” Zhang Erdou was stunned. Had he really said that? He tried to recall and suddenly remembered that a few days before the two apprentices had their falling out, he had indeed hosted a drinking session with several junior apprentices.
On that day, he had indeed said that Chi Qiao’s talent was actually inferior to You Jiuling’s.
“Junior apprentice, that was just talk under the influence of alcohol,” Zhang Erdou tried to explain.
He never thought that a casual remark made during a drinking session would ignite such fierce competition in Chi Qiao.
“Senior apprentice, drunk words are true words,” Chi Qiao said, then turned to You Jiuling, “Are you afraid?”
“Senior apprentice, you’re always eager to challenge me. You may be the Empress of the Nine Heavens, while I am the Empress of the Nine Realms, constantly striving to surpass me. Since you’re determined to fight, I’ll certainly see it through. But if you lose, don’t cry and deny it afterward,” You Jiuling replied.
“Hmph, who’s afraid of whom?”
Chi Qiao and You Jiuling vanished in a flash, already appearing on the arena.
Meanwhile, disciples from various sects in the audience began discussing among themselves.
“The Nine Ling Empress and the Nine Heavens Empress, both exquisitely beautiful.”
“Well, duh! Otherwise, how could I have been their fan for years?”
“Day and night, I dream of being their partner. Even if it meant shortening my life by ten years, it would be worth it.”
“You’re just daydreaming. Even if you shortened your life by a hundred years, you’d still have no chance.”
“What kind of talk is that? Can’t a guy even dream?”
…
Lin Fan furrowed his brow, then relaxed. Since things had come to this point, he might as well see how much these two girls had grown.
When he left, he had imparted much of his knowledge to them, but he didn’t know how far they had cultivated in these years.
These two apprentices were exceptionally gifted. When he first took Chi Qiao as a disciple, her talent was practically non-existent, but under his guidance, her potential had advanced to the limit.
As for You Jiuling, her original talent was already quite good. With Lin Fan’s guidance, her potential had also reached its peak.
In short, even if these two girls were placed in the Ancient Holy World, they would be among the most outstanding young talents.
In an instant, the scene fell silent.
Chi Qiao and You Jiuling locked eyes. As a single leaf drifted, the two instantly launched their attacks.
“Good!”
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but nod. The strength displayed by his two apprentices was quite impressive.
“Senior apprentice, what do we do now?” Feng Bu Jue asked, clearly confused.
“You’re asking me? Who should I ask then? You know their temperaments well enough. They only listen to soft words, not harsh ones. Only the sect leader can discipline them,” Zhang Erdou helplessly replied, though he was intently watching the situation, ready to intervene if anything went wrong.
The city lord of Shengxuan City, witnessing this scene, was sweating profusely.
“This won’t do! The arena can’t withstand the fluctuations from two peak Great Celestial Realm experts!”
Bang!
The arena kept cracking as their attacks generated a storm.
“Amazing, absolutely amazing. I never expected two young women to possess such strength. We men must have been living like dogs all this time,” Sha Dulong exclaimed.
The other fourteen bandits nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan watched closely, occasionally furrowing his brows.
His two apprentices’ footwork was quite ruthless.
“The crotch-kicking technique has been mastered to perfection. If I didn’t know both were experts in this technique, I might have underestimated them.”
“Ah, these two girls have cultivated this move to such a level. I wonder how many people have suffered from their deadly kicks.”
…
“Stop! Both of you, stop! Do you want to destroy Shengxuan City?” The city lord saw the ground cracking and extending outward. If this continued, the surrounding buildings might not withstand the tremors and collapse.
“Get lost!”
Chi Qiao and You Jiuling roared in unison, their battle having driven them into a frenzy.
The city lord swallowed hard, deeply fearful of these two mighty experts, but the current situation compelled him to step forward.
If this continued, Shengxuan City might truly be destroyed.
To these powerful cultivators, ordinary people might seem like ants, but to him, they were his people.
As the battle continued, the emitted energy grew stronger and stronger. One misstep could affect an area spanning hundreds or even thousands of miles.
“Junior apprentice, enough!”
Zhang Erdou stood up and said.
“Junior apprentice, I won’t lose to you,” Chi Qiao shouted fiercely, completely ignoring his words.
“You won’t lose? You have to lose. You can’t beat me,” You Jiuling also paid no heed.
Boom!
Their techniques collided, radiant light bursting forth, sending shockwaves rippling outward.
Seeing this, the city lord’s face turned pale. Caught in the middle of this power, he felt as if he could be torn apart at any moment.
“Junior apprentices, act now! We must stop them. Today, the two junior apprentices have gone too far,” Zhang Erdou immediately said.
“Alright,” Feng Bu Jue and others nodded. Indeed, the situation had escalated beyond control.
Shengxuan City had countless ordinary citizens; they couldn’t allow these two apprentices to destroy it.
…
As Zhang Erdou and the others flew into the sky, they suddenly felt an immense pressure surging like a tidal wave across the heavens and earth.
“Enough!”
In an instant, a thunderous boom erupted, making the entire world seem unable to withstand this force, trembling as a result.
Zhang Erdou and the others were terrified, feeling utterly powerless against this force without the slightest ability to resist.
Meanwhile, Chi Qiao and You Jiuling, who were locked in battle, their faces changed, their internal energies churned, and a surge of fury rose within them.
“Who dares? Come out!”
Upon hearing these words, Lin Fan instantly froze. Was this his apprentices scolding their master?
In that moment, Lin Fan felt as if he had choked on his breath.
This was truly a case of heavenly retribution…
“You’ve all grown strong enough to defy me. Well then, very well indeed.”
Lin Fan abruptly stood up, his eyes blazing with fury as he gazed into the distance. A vast, overwhelming aura erupted from him.
Zhang Erdou and the others looked toward the sound, their expressions instantly changing…
Chi Qiao and You Jiuling were burning with rage, but upon seeing the distant figure…
They froze.
