Round Four, This Time, He’s Sure to Win

(This chapter has been revised. Please do not view it through colored lenses or force illogical associations. The female lead in the text can speak very clearly, thank you! Do not trump up charges against it!)

"Senior Brother, this cultivation method of yours is too overbearing."

Su Jiu complained in a small voice.

Su Ji looked at her current appearance.

"Cut the nonsense and start quickly. Let's see if your secret technique can actually repair it."

Su Jiu gave a soft snort and stopped talking.

She closed her eyes, her hands forming a strange hand seal.

...

Su Ji raised an eyebrow.

Su Jiu's initial repair progress was not considered fast, as she was afraid of damaging the magical artifact.

But soon, she began to recall her clan's secret technique for restoring spiritual energy.

"Senior Brother, although your magical artifact is overbearing, but..."

Su Jiu spoke very, very, very clearly while repairing it.

"Just thinking that you are not my enemy makes me feel very at ease."

Hearing this, Su Ji looked at the fox demon junior sister in front of him, who was fully concentrated and focused on repairing the magical artifact. For a moment, he was actually a bit dazed.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The repair efficiency suddenly began to stagnate; she must have encountered some difficult problem.

Su Jiu raised her head. On that aloof face, her fox-like eyes were now shimmering with moisture.

"Did you run into a problem?"

"Repairing the magical artifact requires adding some auxiliary materials."

"Then add them."

"But the required materials aren't here..."

"Is there anything that can substitute for them?"

"My spiritual energy will do."

"Then just use your spiritual energy as a substitute."

Receiving Su Ji's verbal confirmation, Su Jiu finally utilized her spiritual energy.

She then continued the repair.

A short while later, Su Jiu took a moment from her busy work to report her progress.

"It should be fixed soon!"

Just as Su Jiu's voice fell.

Only to hear...

Buzz—!

Neither of them expected it.

The artifact spirit suddenly went out of control. Perhaps mistaking Su Jiu's repair for malicious intent, it instantly launched an attack at her.

This attack appeared fierce, but in reality, it only blew against her palace dress.

It did not cause any substantial harm to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu also noticed this.

Why was the artifact spirit out of Su Ji's control?

Was the backlash attack caused by a baleful aura?

This was a very crucial point.

Su Jiu began to analyze this carefully.

"Senior Brother, does this count as one round?"

"Of course not."

"Then since the magical artifact is repaired, let's restart our sparring. I hope Senior Brother can win this time."

...

Su Ji also hadn't expected that Su Jiu, who usually didn't seem competitive, would have such a strong desire to win once they started sparring.

From the beginning until now, less than a short hour had passed.

Although Su Ji ended up narrowly losing every time.

"Junior Sister, three rounds in a row, how about we stop here?"

"No."

"If we stop just as we're getting started, are you planning to be slapped to death by Zhao Tianyang?"

Su Ji cast a glance at Su Jiu.

Hmph.

It was just a temporary victory.

But as they say, the first drumbeat rouses the spirit, the second weakens it, and the third exhausts it.

Then let it begin.

The fourth round.

This time, he would definitely win!

Su Ji felt a little guilty.

He was a dignified seven-foot man.

A great Golden Core cultivator of the Heavenly Palace, wielding the Fallen Dragon Spear—personally forged by Hui Xing, obtained in chapter 200, absolutely Su Ji's strongest current magical artifact, containing no innuendos or hidden implications, and possessing an extremely high appearance rate—yet... yet in his most proficient field, he was defeated three rounds in a row by a little fox.

Is this reasonable?

This is unreasonable!

Su Ji took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing that bit of frustration in his heart.

He tightened his grip on the Fallen Dragon Spear in his hand. On the spear's body, the crimson dragon scale patterns seemed to sense its master's battle intent and lit up with a faint glow once again.

"Again!"
