The curve perfectly pressed against Su Ji's nose bridge.
It revealed a healthy shade of pink.
It even lightly tapped against Su Ji's face, checking to see if he was really playing dead.
Humiliation.
Su Ji snapped his eyes open.
What met his gaze was Su Jiu's beautiful face looking down at him from above, her cold elegance mixed with a hint of smugness and provocation.
"Senior Brother."
Su Jiu's voice drifted down from above, carrying a lazy, teasing tone.
"This is the consequence of slacking off."
Su Ji didn't say a word.
He merely raised his hand.
Then, with the speed of lightning, he grabbed her ankle with absolute precision.
The smugness on Su Jiu's face froze instantly.
She only felt an overwhelmingly overbearing force transmit from her ankle, giving her absolutely no chance to react.
Su Jiu let out a short gasp as she completely lost her center of gravity. She was forcefully yanked down from mid-air by Su Ji, crashing solidly onto his body.
With a single roll, Su Ji completely reversed the situation.
Su Jiu was startled by his sudden outburst. Her clear, fox-like eyes blinked subconsciously, looking somewhat innocent.
"The warm-up is over."
Looking at her expression, the irritation in Su Ji's heart inexplicably surged by another half.
He leaned down, bringing his face close to Su Jiu's ear, and spoke in a voice that was almost a whisper, pausing after every word.
"Next, is the real clash."
...
The seventh round of their spar was a pure, head-on collision, devoid of any spells or techniques.
Su Ji completely abandoned all flashy moves, pushing the power of his Heavenly Palace Golden Core to its absolute limit.
Not to be outdone, Su Jiu unleashed the full bloodline power of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, meeting him head-on.
Within the small courtyard, it was as if a storm of spiritual energy had been stirred up.
Every clash between the two was like the collision of two meteorites, erupting with deafening roars. The surging shockwaves cracked the courtyard walls.
...
The eighth round unfolded on the dust-filled ground.
Both were at the end of their ropes, their spiritual energy nearly depleted, yet neither was willing to give up.
Like two primal beasts, they rolled on the ground, biting and attacking each other in the most instinctive ways.
Gone was the brilliance of magical spells.
All that remained was the stubborn refusal to admit defeat, seeping from their very bones.
...
In the ninth round, Su Ji finally seized an opportunity, striking Su Jiu down from the air onto the stone table.
The consecutive defeats and the humiliation of having his face stepped on moments ago were returned in full.
"Do you still dare to humiliate me?!"
He asked fiercely.
However, Su Jiu gave him the most direct answer through her actions.
Her two long, straight legs.
Instantly launched an attack at Su Ji.
...
The tenth round.
Su Ji once again chose to lie flat.
He was truly exhausted.
Mentally exhausted.
He lay sprawled on the ground, staring at the gloomy gray sky above, sporting a completely defeated posture that said, whatever happens, happens, I quit.
However, Su Jiu clearly had no intention of letting him off.
She looked at Su Ji, who was acting like a rogue on the ground, and a dangerous glint flashed through her fox-like eyes.
She walked over to Su Ji step by step, her slender figure casting an oppressive shadow on the ground.
Then, under Su Ji's suddenly widened, terrified gaze.
She looked down at him from above, her cold, breathtakingly beautiful face bearing the smile of a victor.
"Senior Brother."
"If you aren't going to attack me, then I'm going to attack you."
...
An unknown amount of time passed.
Su Ji felt like a fish tossed onto the shore; aside from the strength to gasp heavily for air, he didn't want to move a single finger.
Su Jiu wasn't faring much better.
Neither of them spoke.
After a long time.
Su Jiu finally seemed to catch her breath.
She slightly raised her head.
Suddenly, as if she had discovered a novel toy, her previously unfocused eyes abruptly lit up.
Su Ji felt a chill in his heart from her stare.
"What are you looking at?" His voice was somewhat hoarse from exhaustion.
Su Jiu did not answer.
"Senior Brother..."
Su Jiu's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, carrying a dreamlike murmur.
"You seem... to be glowing..."
Su Ji froze, subconsciously following Su Jiu's gaze.
Without him realizing when it started, a faint, lustrous white halo had indeed begun to radiate from him.
The halo was very weak, yet it carried an aura untainted by the mortal dust.
This... is this the sign of the Immaculate Body?
Su Ji's heart skipped a beat.
However, before he could recover from this shock.
Su Jiu's slightly lazy murmur rang by his ear once again.
"...It actually looks quite nice."
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
