Why Is She So Strong

As netizens debated, the whole matter about the dragon backbone quickly surged to the top of various trending lists.

But most people thought it was fake.

Who would put such a precious item up for sale on a second-hand trading platform?

Chen Feng would.

Because he really had no other way to sell it.

He used to frequently buy and sell things on second-hand platforms.

He was most familiar with these two platforms.

Before long, it was nine o’clock in the morning—the scheduled time for the duel.

As Jin Youxi took the stage first, the arena erupted with cheers.

“Go, Chosen Senior Sister!”

“Senior Sister, I love you!”

“Geneva, give me my money back! Oh… sorry, wrong shout!”

“Hey, can you be a bit more professional!”

…

On the other side, Duan Yan'er curled her lips in disdain.

She didn’t take Jin Youxi seriously at all.

But her personal assistant nervously reminded her:

“Miss Duan, something’s not right. Take a look at her qi and blood levels.”

He handed over a pair of qi and blood monitoring glasses.

Duan Yan'er frowned as she took the glasses.

When she saw Jin Youxi’s qi and blood level, a staggering 794,

she was completely stunned.

“How can it be this high?”

Duan Yan'er was twenty-four years old now, and her qi and blood level had just barely surpassed six hundred.

Yet Jin Youxi looked even younger than her.

Her qi and blood level was more than a hundred points higher.

The assistant whispered a reminder:

“To be safe, Miss, you should take a qi and blood pill before stepping onto the stage.”

“And those two people beside her also have very high qi and blood levels.”

“One is a Martial Supreme, the other a Martial Master.”

Duan Yan'er didn’t want to risk losing.

After all, tens of thousands of fans were watching her live stream.

They had agreed beforehand that whoever lost would have to apologize publicly.

She was a member of the Duan family; if she lost to someone younger, it would be a huge blow to her family’s reputation.

Duan Yan'er pulled out a third-tier qi and blood pill worth millions and swallowed it in one gulp.

Her qi and blood level immediately surged by five hundred points, lasting for thirty minutes.

Her qi and blood level now reached 1,157 points,

over three hundred points higher than Jin Youxi.

At the same time, she watched Chen Feng and Grandpa Jin warily.

She never expected Chen Feng to care so much about his disciple.

He even personally came to support her.

And he brought along a Martial Respect-level bodyguard.

“No wonder the Great Xia heroes are so well protected by the Martial Guild.”

…

Grandpa Jin still didn’t realize he had just been promoted to bodyguard status.

The real bodyguard was Li Kong, sitting in the audience.

He had nothing better to do, so he came to watch the match.

And, of course, to protect Chen Feng’s safety.

Moreover, once someone reached the Martial Saint level,

ordinary qi and blood monitoring glasses couldn’t penetrate their qi and blood values.

They’d just see an ordinary old man.

Duan Yan'er confidently stepped onto the stage.

The crowd’s cheers immediately grew louder.

Even more exaggerated, several cheer squads shouted loudly from below.

Duan Yan'er glanced disdainfully at Jin Youxi and said,

“What can you possibly compete with me for?”

“Even if you’re the disciple of the hero Chen Feng, so what?”

“In front of the Duan family, you’re nothing.”

Jin Youxi immediately responded:

“If you want to fight, then fight! Stop wasting your breath!”

At this moment, Duan Yan’er’s bodyguards were all on high alert, stationed around the arena.

There were four top-tier martial artists and one martial arts master among them.

Plus her assistant, who was at the grandmaster level.

Chen Feng and Grandpa Jin also stood watch by the arena.

This was just an ordinary duel, not a life-or-death battle.

Both sides would be responsible for their own actions.

The spectators in the stands had already started whispering among themselves.

“Duan’s heiress was among the top sixteen in the last Advanced Martial Artists Tournament nationwide.”

“This so-called Chosen Senior Sister doesn’t even have any competition records.”

“Don’t forget, Chosen Senior Sister’s junior sister, Liu, defeated Duan’s prodigy in the Martial Disciple Tournament.”

“That was just the Martial Disciple level. Now they’re both Advanced Martial Artists; you can’t compare them directly.”

Most people weren’t optimistic about Jin Youxi.

Even the netizens watching the live stream weren’t placing their bets on her.

“Going up against Duan family’s Six Veins Divine Sword? That’s just reckless.”

“Well, her master is the legendary Chen Feng. Maybe she does have some skill.”

“Just because the master is extraordinary doesn’t mean the disciple is too.”

“I don’t believe this Chosen Senior Sister can pull off an upset like Chen Feng did.”

...

With a sharp command from the professional referee in the stadium,

the duel officially began.

Duan Yan’er had now mastered two sword fingers of the Six Veins Divine Sword:

the Shaochong Sword with the little finger of her right hand, and the Shaoze Sword.

She extended her right pinky finger toward Jin Youxi and said,

“It’s still not too late to admit defeat and apologize now.”

“Otherwise, if you get pierced by accident, don’t blame me!”

Jin Youxi rolled her eyes, uninterested in the taunts, and raised her palm to strike.

“Too much nonsense!”

“Today, you’re the one who needs to apologize!”

The third move of the Buddha Palm technique:

Buddha Smashes the Mountains and Rivers!

A colossal silhouette of a young girl appeared, towering like a mountain.

A giant golden palm slammed forward with thunderous force.

The sound of Buddhist chants shook the air, golden light radiating everywhere.

Everyone present was stunned.

Even Li Kong, sitting in the audience, couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“What level of cultivation is this?”

“Feels like it’s beyond the pinnacle of mastery.”

Although Grandpa Jin had seen this before,

he still felt shaken at this moment.

Only Chen Feng remained calm,

his heart quietly reflecting on his second disciple’s fate.

When Jin Youxi told him she had broken through the Ren and Du meridians,

Chen Feng had worried for a long time.

But fortunately, she turned misfortune into blessing.

Not only did she successfully open the Ren and Du meridians, but she also awakened the tenth move of the Buddha Palm technique in the face of life and death.

In the stands, Jin Youxi’s fans cheered excitedly:

“No wonder she’s the Chosen Senior Sister!”

“I know this martial art—it’s called Buddha Palm.”

“I’ve even watched her master’s tutorials before.”

“I still want to see her junior sister’s torn silk stockings.”

...

The person most acutely aware of the situation was Duan Yan’er on the arena floor.

Jin Youxi’s palm strike was truly terrifying.

It gave her an overwhelming sense of power she couldn’t easily resist.

“How can she be this strong?”

Duan Yan’er hurriedly raised her hand and unleashed a sword aura.

Shaochong Sword!

Then immediately raised her other hand.

Shaoze Sword!

But the two sword auras vanished like mud sinking into the sea, stirring no ripples at all.

They were almost instantly shattered by the massive palm strike.

Duan Yan’er panicked and sent out two sword fingers again.

Still, she couldn’t stop that enormous palm shadow.

"How is this possible?!"

"I'm supposed to have over three hundred more vitality than her!"

"Why is she so strong?"

"What realm is she actually at?"

At this moment, no one could provide an answer.

"Damn! What's going on?!"

"Why does it feel like the Duan family's heiress can't even withstand a single palm strike?"

"Isn't the Duan family's Six Veins Divine Sword supposed to be incredibly powerful?"

"Powerful my foot! Haven't you noticed it's completely useless?"

...

The golden palm shadow was already closing in on Duan Yan'er, about to strike her.

At that moment, several beams of golden light shot out from behind Duan Yan'er.
