Dragon Girl Subdues Xiong Ba, Most Weak Sacred Body
Chat Group.
Little Dragon Girl: "Everyone, I’ve successfully crossed over. I’m online now! And hello to the new members."
After arriving in the Wind and Cloud World, Little Dragon Girl discovered that she had regained normal communication through the Chat Group.
So she immediately sent everyone a message to let them know she was safe.
Ye Hei: "Little Dragon Girl, you’re finally online. If you’d stayed offline any longer, I would’ve thought you were dead."
Qian Renxue: "Ye Fan, watch what you say. Don’t jinx it."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Little Dragon Girl, do you know how much this Sword Immortal missed you?"
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "It’s good that you’re safe."
Iron Man: "Exactly, exactly."
Morax: "Little Dragon Girl, which world have you arrived in?"
Little Dragon Girl: "According to the system’s description, this should be the Wind and Cloud World, a high-martial world. Although it’s a martial arts world, it has divine beasts like True Dragons and Qilins, with big shots like Nuwa in the background."
After speaking, Little Dragon Girl conveniently opened a livestream of the world she was in and uploaded the Wind and Cloud information she had received from the system.
Through the livestream, the group members could see that Little Dragon Girl was at the Under Heaven Society. They also learned the complete plot of the Wind and Cloud World. It had to be said that the later stages of this world became increasingly terrifying. It even involved time travel, and consuming Dragon Essence granted direct immortality and invulnerability to death.
Bad Commander: "The Wind and Cloud plane? What a coincidence. Not long ago during a match, I dueled Emperor Shi Tian, master of the Heavenly Gate in the Wind and Cloud World. I never expected Little Dragon Girl to end up in that world."
Sword God Li Chungang: "That world truly is terrifying. It feels far more terrifying than ours. And its path of swordsmanship is simply miraculous. It can actually let the Primordial Spirit leave the body and freeze space."
Time was the sum of all changes within the scope of space. Freezing everything within space was, in a sense, freezing time. The power of such swordsmanship was no weaker than the divine abilities of cultivation worlds—perhaps even stronger.
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Now that she’s gone to the Wind and Cloud World, shouldn’t she get some Kirin Blood to drink, then eat some Dragon Meat and Blood Bodhi?"
Xu Yi: "You really shouldn’t drink Kirin Blood. If things go wrong, you could go mad."
Little Dragon Girl: "The Group Owner is right, hehe. I didn’t think that far ahead. I just wanted to improve my martial arts experience."
Ye Hei: "But speaking of which, Little Dragon Girl, why did your crossing take so long? Our usual crossings only take an instant. We arrive in the other world very quickly."
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "Indeed, that is a problem."
Little Dragon Girl: "Uh… actually, I was trapped during that time in the gap between illusion and reality, a completely empty space. The system said we may have happened to encounter some being traveling through the myriad worlds and been blocked by it. Fortunately, no battle broke out. The system merely competed against it in secret for a while before we finally escaped the void."
Demon Child Nezha: "That sounds exciting!"
Sun Wukong: "Exciting, right? Havoc in Heaven is even more exciting. Nezha, this Old Sun will take you to wreak havoc in Heaven!"
Demon Child Nezha: "Sure, hehe."
Sun Wukong: "Excellent! This Old Sun isn’t joking."
Ye Hei: "A moment of silence for the Heavenly Court in Nezha’s world. For one year."
Ying Zheng: "I envy the Great Saint. He can wreak havoc in Heaven whenever he wants."
Supreme Treasure: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Once my cultivation succeeds, I have to wreak havoc in Heaven again."
Xu Yi: "Eating popcorn! Do your best! My future as Group Owner depends on all of you protecting it."
Sun Wukong: "Group Owner, isn’t that asking too much? How could we possibly protect you? With your realm and cultivation, this Old Sun doesn’t even know how long I’ll need to cultivate before catching up."
Supreme Treasure: "Exactly!"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Group Owner, don’t worry. This Sword Immortal will definitely be the first to stand up for you."
Iron Man: "Me too!"
Ye Hei: "Same here."
Feng Baobao: "Count me in."
Immortal Ancient Willow God: "Mm!"
Fairy Yunxiao: "!!"
While everyone chatted and teased one another, they watched the livestream from Little Dragon Girl’s world.
"Who exactly is this woman?"
At the Under Heaven Society, a trace of wariness and confusion surfaced deep in Xiong Ba’s eyes. Little Dragon Girl’s method of appearing had simply been too strange and abrupt.
As for a fairy descending from heaven, Xiong Ba did not believe it.
So long as one had enough true qi, one could travel through the air and remain aloft for a long time.
Xiong Ba himself knew the Wind God Leg. His disciple Nie Feng even bore the title God of Wind, so there was no need to mention his own attainments in lightness skills.
"Your Excellency, who exactly are you? Why did you suddenly appear at the Under Heaven Society?" Xiong Ba asked. He did not attack mainly because he was unsure of Little Dragon Girl’s strength.
Little Dragon Girl glanced indifferently at Xiong Ba. Her body slowly descended onto the roof of an Under Heaven Society pavilion as she said, "I’m merely a passerby passing through. Goodbye."
Little Dragon Girl had no interest in the Under Heaven Society. That was simply her personality. Other than the Chat Group, she did not care much about anything in real life.
Little Dragon Girl was leaving. Xiong Ba’s suspicious nature made him frown at once, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you suddenly appeared in my Under Heaven Society, and now you are suddenly leaving. Aren’t you going to give an explanation? If you can come and go as you please, where does that leave this leader’s dignity?"
"What do you want?" Little Dragon Girl asked, her gaze as calm as water.
"Take three moves from me. If you can withstand them, you may leave. If you cannot, then remain in the Under Heaven Society and serve me," Xiong Ba said.
Judging from her lightness skills alone, Xiong Ba believed Little Dragon Girl was certainly an expert.
But he believed he could do it too! It was just flying. No big deal. Easy.
"Fine." Little Dragon Girl nodded without saying anything more.
At that moment, the gazes of several thousand Under Heaven Society disciples gathered on Xiong Ba, including Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang.
"Three Points Revert to Origin Qi!"
Without any hesitation, Xiong Ba placed both hands at his waist and launched a transparent water sphere.
He had studied under Three Wonders Old Man, whose Three Wonders were the Heavenly Frost Fist, Wind God Leg, and Cloud Dispersing Palm, three ultimate arts designed to work together closely.
When the three wonders were used together, they bombarded the enemy furiously from different directions. At the same time, internal and external forces complemented each other, while the three energies circulated, achieving a state of natural transformation and endless renewal.
Unfortunately, Three Wonders Old Man had not passed down the true profundity of Three Points Revert to Origin.
Xiong Ba was extraordinarily gifted. The Three Points Revert to Origin Qi he painstakingly created fused the enduring force of the Wind God Leg, the fierce power of the Cloud Dispersing Palm, and the cold inner force of the Heavenly Frost Fist into one technique. It surpassed its predecessors, and when unleashed at full power, possessed the might to shake heaven and make ghosts weep.
Ordinary people struck by Three Points Revert to Origin Qi would have their five viscera burned, their Eight Extraordinary Meridians sealed, their life force drained away, and would be utterly powerless to resist.
Facing Xiong Ba’s Three Points Revert to Origin Qi, Little Dragon Girl did not even dodge. She allowed the true qi to enter her body, where it was instantly absorbed by the Nascent Soul magical power within her.
"?"
Xiong Ba stared at the scene in disbelief, stumbling back two steps in fright. "How is that possible? How could you take my Three Points Revert to Origin Qi head-on and be completely unharmed?"
"One move." Little Dragon Girl spoke calmly, as though she had merely done something insignificant.
"Three Points Revert to Origin Qi!"
Xiong Ba refused to believe it and used his ultimate art again. The sky darkened with miserable clouds, frost spread everywhere, and fierce winds roared. The power of three different streams of true qi merged, finally converging in his palm to form a bead of water the size of a soccer ball.
Boom! The Three Points Revert to Origin Qi shot forth like an ice crystal slicing through the void. Little Dragon Girl was not afraid of it, but she had no desire to let such a huge mass of true qi smash into her body.
She gently exhaled, and the Three Points Revert to Origin Qi immediately broke apart in the wind, turning into streams of air that scattered away.
"??" Xiong Ba.
"?" Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Qin Shuang.
"??" The Under Heaven Society disciples.
"Ha ha." The group members.
Even Xiong Ba, a hero among men, could not stop cold sweat from forming across his forehead.
He had already used one hundred percent of his power, yet he had not even touched the corner of her clothes.
With such terrifying strength, how could Xiong Ba not realize that he had kicked an iron plate? He should never have tried to keep her here for a three-move contest just to save face.
"So powerful. Xiong Ba’s ultimate art didn’t cause even the slightest injury." Bu Jingyun’s pupils contracted, and he was deeply shocked. Though he often wanted revenge and dreamed of killing Xiong Ba, he knew the gap between them was not something he could easily close.
"Is she a fairy from heaven? With such graceful bearing and otherworldly temperament, she does not belong in the mortal world." A trace of admiration appeared in Nie Feng’s eyes. He was captivated by Little Dragon Girl’s aura.
"Master has encountered an opponent. No… Master is being crushed in every respect," Qin Shuang said.
"Ha ha ha, Senior’s cultivation is unfathomable. I, Xiong Ba, failed to recognize greatness. Please forgive me."
Xiong Ba could bend and stretch. In the blink of an eye, he changed his expression, smiling warmly and looking amiable.
"There is still one move." Little Dragon Girl remained unmoved.
"Cough, cough, Senior. Let us forget the last move. My strength is inferior to yours." Xiong Ba cupped his hands, his attitude humble.
"There is still one move." Little Dragon Girl repeated, still unmoved.
"…"
Xiong Ba fell silent, his back already soaked through.
This was truly a case of riding a tiger with no way down!
"If you will not attack, then I will. You can try taking three moves from me," Little Dragon Girl said.
"Senior, do not joke. I fear I could not withstand even one of your moves," Xiong Ba said.
"Then one move?" Little Dragon Girl asked.
She could accept Xiong Ba’s agreement of three moves, so why could she not return it? Her mind was pure, but she was not foolish. How could she fail to understand Xiong Ba’s malicious intentions?
"One move?"
Xiong Ba’s gaze flickered. If it was only one move, perhaps he could withstand it if he gave everything he had.
"Fine." Xiong Ba said through gritted teeth.
"If you cannot withstand one move, then you must relinquish your position as leader," Little Dragon Girl said.
"What!" Xiong Ba was horrified.
Little Dragon Girl thought for a moment. She had only just arrived in this world and had no place to stay. Although she had read the script, there were many differences between the script and reality. She needed to understand the relationships between this world’s factions before setting out to gain experience for her own goals.
"You refuse?" Little Dragon Girl asked.
"I agree." Xiong Ba nodded repeatedly.
A wise man submitted to circumstances. At a time like this, no matter how tough his words were, they were less painful than a slap to the face.
"Good."
Little Dragon Girl raised her slender arm and struck toward Xiong Ba with her delicate hand.
It was only a light, fluttering palm strike, yet in Xiong Ba’s eyes, it was like a blow that split heaven and earth apart. Clouds and mist churned across the Sky Dome, accompanied by thunder and lightning, while a jade-white hand descended gently.
This palm strike was earth-shattering and suffocating. Terrifying power crashed down from afar, shredding Xiong Ba’s dark golden leader’s robe. Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and Qin Shuang were drenched in sweat.
With just one palm strike, they felt the aura of death rushing straight at them.
This was simply not a realm human strength could reach!
"Three Points Revert to Origin Qi…"
Xiong Ba was still a tough man. Faced with overwhelming pressure, he did not make a sound. He mobilized all his true qi, condensing an icy blue protective barrier over his body!
Then the difference between cultivating immortality and cultivating martial arts became apparent. Little Dragon Girl’s palm carried no divine ability or cultivation technique. She had merely drawn upon the power of heaven and earth and struck downward. As the force of this entire world pressed down, even though she had restrained the vast majority of her power, it was still not something Xiong Ba could withstand!
The dozens-of-meters-high Under Heaven Society platform shattered and collapsed with a roar. Xiong Ba was buried beneath the rubble. His Three Points Revert to Origin Qi shattered, and he suffered severe internal injuries, vomiting blood without end, yet he still endured.
"It seems you failed to take it," Little Dragon Girl said.
Xiong Ba fell silent. A flash of unwillingness passed through his eyes as he forced himself to stand, then dropped to one knee. "This subordinate, Xiong Ba, pays respects to the leader."
"This subordinate pays respects to the new leader!"
"Wise Leader, accomplished in literature and virtue, mighty in martial arts! By heaven’s mandate, unify the world!"
"Wise Leader, accomplished in literature and virtue, mighty in martial arts! By heaven’s mandate, unify the world!"
Several thousand disciples all dropped to one knee and began chanting the Under Heaven Society’s familiar slogan.
Hearing those words, Xiong Ba felt rather bitter inside.
Today should have been his happiest day. He had become the most powerful overlord in the entire martial world, yet only minutes later, he had been driven from the position of leader. Though he had brought it upon himself.
In ancient times, there was Goujian sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall. Today, I, Xiong Ba, shall endure humiliation and bear burdens. One day, I will personally take back everything I have lost, Xiong Ba thought.
Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Qin Shuang also knelt. After all, even Xiong Ba had knelt.
"Rise." Little Dragon Girl said.
Bu Jingyun suddenly took a step forward. "Leader, I have an unreasonable request. I hope the Leader can make a decision for me."
"What is Bu Jingyun doing?" Xiong Ba lowered his eyes, his gaze flickering as he silently recovered from his injuries.
"Speak," Little Dragon Girl said.
"Leader, Kong Ci and I have been childhood sweethearts. We secretly pledged ourselves to one another long ago. In this life, I, Bu Jingyun, recognize only Kong Ci as my woman. But Xiong Ba is immoral and insists on separating us, giving Kong Ci to Eldest Senior Brother instead. I beg the Leader to give Kong Ci to me. I, Bu Jingyun, am willing to serve the Leader faithfully," Bu Jingyun said emotionally.
"Leader, do not listen to Bu Jingyun’s nonsense. Kong Ci is my adopted daughter. How could I possibly treat my own daughter’s future as a joke?" Xiong Ba said.
"…" Little Dragon Girl fell silent. She hated this kind of emotional entanglement the most.
"Leader, please judge for me." Bu Jingyun was emotional, staring intently at Little Dragon Girl.
"System, what should I do? Should I help him or not?" Little Dragon Girl asked.
"The Master may help if she wishes, and no one can force her if she does not. Moreover, Bu Jingyun is the protagonist of this world. He is one of the Feng and Cloud Twin Stars, formed from Nuwa’s immortal aura, and possesses immense fortune. Helping him will not put you at a disadvantage.
"However, Bu Jingyun also has the fate of the Lone Star of Heavenly Calamity. The women who are with him always die violently, their beauty ill-fated and short-lived," the Martial Arts Emperor System said.
"What is your opinion?"
Little Dragon Girl looked at Kong Ci, giving the choice to the tool that Xiong Ba held in his hands.
Kong Ci was terrified. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Leader, I am merely a maidservant. Leader Xiong Ba showed me favor and accepted me as his adopted daughter. I was originally unworthy of Young Master Shuang, Young Master Yun, and Young Master Feng, but the three young masters have always treated me like a younger sister, and I like them very much too.
"I wish to preserve this bond. Why must I choose only one? Can’t everyone live together happily?"
"…" Little Dragon Girl.
"…" Xiong Ba.
"…" The group members were rendered speechless by Kong Ci as well.
Calling Kong Ci unfaithful would not be entirely fair. She truly loved all three of them, but she could not divide herself to satisfy Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng.
Rather than let one person suffer, it would be better for everyone to live happily together, with their bond never changing.
"No, I refuse." Bu Jingyun’s possessiveness was extremely strong. How could he possibly allow the situation Kong Ci described to exist? "This is your private matter. Resolve it yourselves. I need some peace and quiet."
Little Dragon Girl could not be bothered to deal with it any longer. She turned around and entered an Under Heaven Society pavilion.
"Bu Jingyun, stop making trouble. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless," Xiong Ba said coldly.
"Xiong Ba, you are seriously injured now. Less than one-tenth of your strength remains. Say that again if you dare." Bu Jingyun’s killing intent surged.
"You may try. Though this old man is badly injured, dealing with you would still be more than easy enough." Xiong Ba put on a calm front, though he was somewhat panicked inside.
He was only holding on by sheer force of will. The power in Little Dragon Girl’s palm had been too strong, something no mortal could withstand.
His breath now hung by a thread, and he was merely keeping up appearances. If they truly fought, it was uncertain who would live and who would die.
Bu Jingyun stared at Xiong Ba. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but even a starved camel was larger than a horse. He did not dare act rashly. If Xiong Ba still had a hidden trump card, it would not be worth the risk.
In the end, master and disciples parted on bad terms.
Only Nie Feng said to Qin Shuang, "Senior Brother, you know Cloud Senior Brother’s temper too. Try to take this sort of thing in stride and leave it to fate. Don’t dwell on it."
"…" Qin Shuang fell silent. What else could he say? Truly, even heroes struggled to resist beauty. He understood Bu Jingyun, but he needed to save face too.
Besides, Bu Jingyun liked Kong Ci. Was Qin Shuang’s sincerity somehow lacking?
"I understand, Junior Brother Feng. I respect Kong Ci’s own choice. And you too, Junior Brother Feng—I know you like Kong Ci. Let’s each do our best." Qin Shuang immediately said.
"No, no. Ever since I went to Peerless City, I’ve already fallen for someone else. I only see Kong Ci as a younger sister. You two, keep it up." Nie Feng smiled.
"…" Qin Shuang.
Chat Group.
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Hahaha, what a huge pure-love scandal."
At that moment, Wang Wu could not help but comment.
It had to be said, the four-way romance between Kong Ci, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and Qin Shuang was truly entertaining.
How could one possibly have the best of both worlds? How could everything in life go exactly as one wished?
Qian Renxue: "I’m curious—which one does this Kong Ci actually like?"
Ye Hei: "Not too sure. It seems like she likes all of them."
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "I think Kong Ci sees Feng, Yun, and Qin Shuang as elder brothers. After all, they grew up together. She’s confused familial affection with love—or perhaps she wants both love and family."
Bad Commander: "Put simply, she’s indecisive and doesn’t understand her own heart."
Sword God Li Chungang: "Makes sense. Generally speaking, that kind of mentality leaves one with nothing. In the Fengyun storyline, didn’t Kong Ci get mistakenly killed by Xiong Ba while trying to stop Feng and Yun from dueling?"
Little Dragon Girl: "Don’t understand. Don’t understand."
Ye Hei: "Tsk tsk, a tangled mess that can neither be cut nor sorted out."
Ye Wen: "Indeed. Love is sometimes truly difficult to explain."
Xu Yi: "Ye Wen, I didn’t expect you to be a master of romance too."
Ye Wen: "Ahem, Group Owner, I wouldn’t dare. I wouldn’t dare."
Sun Wukong: "This business of you humans, Old Sun doesn’t understand too well."
Ye Hei: "Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. This is a martial arts world, not the real world or modern society. It’s perfectly normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Especially powerful men—which one of them doesn’t have women around them? Take the First Emperor, for instance. His harem had hundreds of beauties, if not three thousand."
Ying Zheng: "…Brother Ye, could you not use me as an example? I am an emperor focused on my career. I have no interest in matters of the harem."
Ye Hei: "I can tell. But what I mean is, Kong Ci could just marry Feng, Yun, and Senior Brother Qin Shuang as well."
Mutant Wanda: "That sounds a little exciting."
Iron Man: "What’s that? Back when I was in my twenties, I partied every night. Every evening, there’d be over a dozen models, cover girls, famous female CEOs, directors—who among them didn’t take more than a dozen young studs home?"
Qian Renxue: "…"
Tushan Second Head: "…"
Little Dragon Girl: "…"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Damn. But can your kidneys handle that?"
Iron Man: "Hehe, it’s fine. I work in technology myself. There are plenty of technological enhancements for that sort of thing."
Ye Hei: "Ahem, let’s talk privately."
Bad Commander: "Ahem!"
Sword God Li Chungang: "Gang, why are you coughing?"
Bad Commander: "I’ve caught a chill."
Iron Man: "?? Brother Ye, you want to talk privately? With the blood essence of your Ancient Desolate Holy Body, you could easily handle a hundred in one night. And you still need help?"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "You must be running dry!"
Ye Hei: "…Don’t spread rumors. I stand upright and sit straight. I’m just curious, that’s all."
Xu Yi: "Actually, most jokes people make are what they truly want to say in their hearts. So Ye Fan might really be lacking a bit of strength. You’re running dry, aren’t you?"
Ye Hei: "No, Group Owner, take back that last sentence right now. Your Word Manifestation is too much for me to bear."
Ye Fan’s expression changed drastically. For no reason, he suddenly felt a wave of weakness rise within him, along with a drowsy sensation.
This made him panic. His heartbeat quickened, and darkness swam before his eyes.
Xu Yi: "Surely not? I just said it casually."
Ye Hei: "No, Group Owner, I really feel weak. My whole body is powerless, and I can’t summon any energy."
Han Li: "Ahem."
Han Li merely smiled without speaking. His Golden Core was gone, and he knew full well the terrifying power of the Group Owner’s Word Manifestation.
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Hahaha!"
Qian Renxue: "The number one Sacred Body of the human race is actually running dry. Interesting."
Feng Baobao: "I suggest eating more tiger penis, drinking deer antler wine, and soaking some goji berries."
Ye Hei: "…"
Xu Yi: "Keep it up, Ye Fan. Believe in yourself. We cultivators must strive endlessly and let our spirit endure forever."
Ye Hei: "I’ll try…"
