Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 497: Chapter 17: The Girl of Destiny! The Rivalry of Two Spirits_4

“Zhenghua, who do you think you are? If it weren’t for your decent family background, do you really think you could reach the core level?” Senior Brother Lexian rebuked angrily.

“You…” Senior Brother Zhenghua’s complexion faded slightly; he did not respond. But in terms of pure talent, he couldn’t contest Lexian.

“Hmph, an errant junior disciple deserves to be taught a lesson. Or are you suggesting I, a senior core disciple, do not have such authority?” Core Brother Lexian, furious beyond measure, released a surge of elemental water aura, transforming it into an attack aimed at Lu Xianghui. “Junior Brother Xianghui, today I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget: do not offend a core disciple at will.”

The auratic energy erupted into a gleaming pale blue light, charging straight at Lu Xianghui.

Among the onlookers from the Tian Lake School, many looked upon Senior Brother Lexian’s domineering and unseemly behavior with distaste. However, due to his formidable presence, no one dared voice their view.

Hadn’t they just witnessed even Senior Brother Zhenghua being shot down?

“Sigh~” Many sighed inwardly. Normally, Senior Brother Lexian was a picture of grace and elegance but once cornered, he showed no mercy. Lu Xianghui was truly unfortunate today. To have encountered this series of unfortunate events.

Besides, the “Elemental Water Finger” technique by Senior Brother Lexian was both domineering and fierce, aimed directly at Lu Xianghui’s shoulder blades. He wouldn’t die, but it was estimated it could take a year or two to fully recover.

Simultaneously Lu Xianghui was filled with horror and fear. How could he at his current stage of cultivation – a mere seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm – escape the Elemental Water Finger? He resigned himself to his fate. All is decided by destiny!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xianghui had already given up on resisting, closing his eyes preparing to fully absorb the harsh lesson.

Suddenly!

He heard a whistling sound right next to his ear. In his blurry state, he sensed an aura of intense elemental water zipping past him, closely followed by the technique used by Senior Brother Lexian, clashing less than a few feet in front of him.

“Boom!”

Under the fierce collision of the two streams of energy, elemental water energy began to diffuse outwards like ripples of shockwaves. Lu Xianghui, being too close, was hit by the shockwave, stepping back in quick succession before falling flat on his buttocks.

This unexpected change made the crowd fall silent in surprise, their gazes involuntarily turning towards the girl who had made the move. She remained composed while a vestige of elemental water aura lingered around her.

“How is this possible?” Sister Yuyun’s beautiful face changed slightly, “The Elemental Water Finger technique…does she also know it? Could it be that she also cultivates the Elemental Water True Verses?”

“It seems likely…” Senior Brother Zhenghua’s expression became incredibly animated. “Although this girl looks ordinary, she appears to be quite young and has already reached the Spirit Platform Realm. Moreover, her Elemental Water Finger has a strong, mature presence that is by no means inferior to Lexian. Could this little girl be the Sky Pride?”

“Interesting…this is really unexpected. This young lady could be on the verge of becoming a Sky Pride. It seems Lexian, who has always been arrogant due to an elder in his family being part of our Tian Lake School, and has always been domineering, will get a taste of his own medicine.”

The most astonished of all was perhaps Senior Brother Lexian, who was both startled and enraged. Only to have his attack blocked by the same technique from that little girl.

The Sky Pride. Could this girl be a Sky Pride? No wonder she looked so calm and composed.

After a few moments of stunned silence, he returned to his senses, “Girl, at such a young age, you’ve actually reached the Spirit Platform Realm? What’s your name? Who’s the elder in your clan?”

“I have nothing to hide. My name is Wang Liyao. If you have a problem, you can aim it at me. Is it particularly interesting for a renowned disciple in the Spirit Platform Realm to humiliate a disciple in the Qi Refinement Realm?”

Wang Liyao’s eyes were slightly icy, clearly disgusted with Senior Brother Lexian.

A Wang?

Among the high-ranking elders of the Academic Palace, it didn’t seem like any of them had ‘Wang’ as their family name. The Tian Lake School also didn’t seem to have any ‘Wang’. Senior Brother Lexian had quickly run through all the possibilities, and retorted with a sneer, “Wang Liyao, right? Do you realize that you’ve made a huge mistake? I don’t know who your elders are, but I know that even they will be implicated this time. Any Academia’s secret teachings cannot be learned by an outsider who has not yet been admitted into the academia. Admit it, who taught you the Elemental Water True Verses?”

The Sky Pride was undoubtedly important to the academia, but no one, regardless of their status, was allowed to impart Academia’s secret teachings and techniques without the academia’s approval. Otherwise, were there no rules to speak of in the academia?

Wang Liyao smiled scornfully, “You seem so concerned, Senior Brother. Where I learned it from is none of your business. Also, I’ll take this turtle. I’d like to see what you’re going to do.”

Taking it?

The Elemental Water Spirit Tortoise, Miss Nine, seemed thrilled and was about to leap onto Wang Liyao when she heard Wang Liyao’s calm voice, “Miss Nine, you have already taken a lot of benefits. Go and wait there. After this matter is resolved, I will keep you.”

Elemental Water Spirit Turtle gave a long whimper but obediently retreated to one side, its eyes filled with anticipation to watch its master show her prowess.

This scene irked Senior Brother Lexian to no end and he said, laughing angrily, “Well, I don’t care about the background you’re from. Even if you’re from the prestigious Purple Abode family, or have an Elder of the academia as a backing, you cannot go against the thousands of years of academia’s rules. I will capture you first, and then notify the master. We will investigate this matter thoroughly. No one can escape.”

As the words left his mouth, a solid-like aura of elemental water started to rise, pressing down on Wang Liyao.

“Buzz!”

At the same time, a sound of sword whistling broke the silence.
