The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Breakthrough to Martial King!

Among the nine little girls, Xiaojiu had the highest aptitude. She was the first to complete her evolution!

Xiaojiu’s expression grew even colder. She stared icily at the hundred-plus skeletons on the stone platform, but when her gaze fell upon Cheng Yuan, a well-hidden trace of gentleness flashed in her eyes.

’My brother is my benefactor, my only family in this world,’ she thought. ’Anyone who wants to hurt him will have to get through me first!’

”Brother, hurry and break through to Martial King! Leave these skeletons to me!”

With that, Xiaojiu shot fiercely toward the hundred-plus skeletons!

Though Xiaojiu appeared small and delicate, the hundred-plus skeletons treated her as a formidable foe!

WHOOSH! Xiaojiu lunged at the three nearest skeletons!

Naturally, the three skeletons wouldn’t just wait to be destroyed. They launched a ferocious counterattack!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

All sorts of attacks landed on Xiaojiu, but her advance was only slightly hindered.

Her attack, however, instantly destroyed the three skeletons!

”This one’s tough! Forget about warrior etiquette! Everyone, attack together!!”

The Warrior skeletons hesitated slightly, but the thirty-plus Exotic Beast skeletons showed no such reluctance. They moved as one, unleashing a full-force assault on Xiaojiu!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All kinds of energy blasts slammed into Xiaojiu!

The combined power of over thirty skeletons was too immense. Even though Xiaojiu had evolved into a Ghost King, she could barely withstand it!

Xiaojiu’s once-solid form flickered, as if she might collapse at any moment!

Fortunately, the Evil Qi on the stone platform was incredibly dense, and Xiaojiu instantly stabilized her form.

Seeing that the attack was effective, the skeleton who had shouted before roared again, ”See that? She’s not invincible! She’s faltering! Attack together! Kill her!!”

Xiaojiu’s expression turned grim. She took a few heavy steps back, planting herself firmly in front of Cheng Yuan, refusing to retreat another inch!

’Even if my body and soul are annihilated today, I won’t let Brother suffer even the slightest harm!’

During this time, Cheng Yuan’s True Essence had recovered. He was focusing all his effort on comprehending the Celestial Dao of Light, and Light Elements were already gathering at his fingertips.

Seeing Xiaojiu in a tight spot, Cheng Yuan subconsciously wanted to disperse the Light Elements and fight alongside her.

Suddenly, Xiaoyi’s voice rang in Cheng Yuan’s ear. ”Brother, leave these skeletons to us! Focus on your breakthrough! Don’t get distracted!”

As she spoke, Xiaoyi also completed her evolution!

The other little girls also completed their evolutions one by one!

With her sisters’ help, Xiaojiu no longer had to face so much pressure, and her spirits soared!

”Sisters, if you’d been any slower, I really would have had my body and soul annihilated!”

Xiaoyi giggled. ”There, there, Xiaojiu. How could we sisters ever let you be annihilated? They’re the ones who are about to be annihilated!”

Giggling, the nine little girls charged toward the hundred-plus skeletons!

Although the little girls appeared to be the weaker side, the battle was completely one-sided!

With every move the little girls made, a skeleton was crushed!

Meanwhile, the skeletons’ attacks couldn’t harm the girls at all. Even when the hundred-plus skeletons attacked in unison, the damage was simply divided among the nine of them.

In less than half a minute, the hundred-plus skeletons were mowed down like stalks of rice!

CRASH! CLATTER!

The nine little girls shattered every last one of the hundred-plus skeletons and kicked them all into the hundred-meter-deep trench!

The nine little girls stood at the edge of the stone platform, radiating an unparalleled, ferocious might as they looked down upon the skeletons below!

Xiaojiu said coldly, ”Not a single one of you can put up a fight! I suggest you boneheads all come at us at once!!”

Below, over three hundred skeletons had recovered to their peak condition, but they didn’t immediately leap onto the high platform. They needed more of their comrades. Only by overwhelming these nine monstrous girls with sheer numbers could they win!

The previous battle had been too thrilling for Cheng Yuan to focus. Now that it was over, he could finally concentrate on comprehending the Celestial Dao of Light!

This time, there were no hitches.

The Light Elements at Cheng Yuan’s fingertips finally condensed smoothly!

Cheng Yuan’s spirits lifted. He felt an indescribable connection forming between himself and the Celestial Dao of Light!

Cheng Yuan had a faint feeling that as long as he could communicate with the Celestial Dao of Light, he could borrow a portion of its power.

Cheng Yuan tentatively tried to communicate with the Celestial Dao of Light, and a cluster of the purest, most sacred Light Elements instantly appeared inside his body!

The Light Elements seemed to look down on Cheng Yuan’s Dantian, his Meridians, and even his very cells!

The Light Elements gradually began to merge with his Dantian, Meridians, and cells.

Stimulated by the sacred energy of the Light Elements, Cheng Yuan’s Dantian expanded at a visible rate. His Meridians were widened and became far more resilient!

What excited Cheng Yuan the most was that, transformed by the Light Elements, his cells were now brimming with energy—ten, even a hundred times more than before!

Cheng Yuan’s physical constitution had also been tremendously strengthened!

Now, with his physical strength alone, Cheng Yuan could easily crush Xuanyuan Potian!

Cheng Yuan slowly clenched his fists. This feeling of being filled with power was incredible!

’Is this the power of a Martial King?’

Though it felt short, this process had actually taken a full five minutes!

Below, the skeletons had amassed an army of over a thousand!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Over a thousand skeletons leaped up and landed on the high platform!

The oppressive aura from a thousand skeletons was incomparable to that of a mere hundred. The nine little girls couldn’t withstand such terrifying pressure and slowly retreated to Cheng Yuan’s side, guarding him closely.

Facing the might of a thousand skeletons, the little girls lost their earlier composure. Their expressions were incredibly grave.

”Sisters, this might be our last battle! We have to take down as many skeletons as we can! It’s the only way to give Brother a sliver of hope to survive!”

”Xiaowu is right! It’s time to fight with everything we’ve got! Just living this long has been a bonus. If it weren’t for Brother, we’d probably be trapped in the Eighteen Layers of Hell by now! For Brother’s sake, annihilation is a price we’re willing to pay!”

”Fight!”

It had to be said, the nine little girls were incredibly united. Even facing a battle they couldn’t possibly win, none of them flinched.

Just as the nine little girls prepared to sacrifice themselves, Cheng Yuan’s gentle voice reached their ears.

”You silly little girls, step aside. Let your brother handle these skeletons.”

The nine little girls turned their heads in unison, their faces breaking into expressions of pure ecstasy!

A Martial King!!

Brother had finally broken through to Martial King!!

This is wonderful!

They were saved!

The nine little girls cheered in unison!

”Long live Brother!”

”Brother has finally become a Martial King!!”

Xiaojiu exclaimed in delight, ”When Brother was just a Grandmaster, he could already defeat a Martial Emperor! Now that he’s a Martial King, he should be able to defeat a Martial Saint, right? Dealing with these skeletons will be a piece of cake!”

Cheng Yuan gave a wry smile. ”Xiaojiu, you’re too optimistic. The higher your level of strength, the harder it is to fight above your rank. I can’t beat a Martial Saint yet, but below the Martial Saint realm, no one is my match!!”
