Chapter 133 - Challenging Yuan

ʼIf he can destroy a Training Puppet whilst being two whole levels below me in cultivation, not to mention with a Mortal-rank technique, thereʼs no reason why I, Min Li, cannot destroy one too!ʼ Min Li thought to herself with a resolute look on her face, feeling as though sheʼd been challenged by Yuan after seeing his dazzling display.

Every single disciple in the practice area including Yuan stopped whatever they were doing to watch Min Li, who stood before a Training Puppet with an ordinary sword in her hands and a serious but still beautiful look on her face.

ʼSince heʼd used an ordinary weapon and a Mortal-rank technique, I shall do the same!ʼ Min Li thought to herself as she prepared her mind and sword.

After taking a deep breath, Min Li moved.

She took a step forward with the sword in her hand raised and trembling.

”Haa!”

Min Li shouted out loud as she swung the sword in her hands.

Boom!

The Training Puppet flew many meters away from the impact.

”Wow! As expected of Fairy Min! To think she could display such strength with a Mortal-rank technique!”

”Thatʼs true, but… compared to that other disciple… it felt a little bit lacking… I think...” One of the disciples there suddenly mumbled.

”You idiot! Donʼt say that out loud! What if Fairy Min hears you?!” Another whispered.

”...”

Min Liʼs eyebrows twitched a little bit when she heard those disciples talk, but she pretended as though she didnʼt hear it and focused on the Training Puppet.

A moment later, the Training Puppet returned, and as sheʼd expected, there wasnʼt any damage on the puppet despite such a powerful blow.

Min Li stared at the Training Puppet with a frown on her face, but she wasnʼt discouraged, as the previous attack was only a warmup.

After taking another breath, Min Li displayed her second strike, and the sword in her hand emitted an even more powerful aura than previously.

Boom!

The Training Puppet was sent flying once again by the strike.

”Wow! That strike was at least twice as powerful as the last one! And it surpassed even the other discipleʼs attacks at first!”

”As expected of Fairy Min! I knew her first strike was only a warmup!”

However, despite the disciplesʼ praises, Min Li did not feel happy even in the slightest, as she knew very well that it wasnʼt enough to destroy the Training Puppet.

The Training Puppet returned to her side a moment later, and there was a slight crack on its body, but it was nothing significant and could only be considered as superficial damage.

ʼHow is this possible?ʼ Min Li pondered to herself. ʼAlthough I am only using an ordinary weapon, my mastery with this Mortal-rank technique has long reached its peak after training with it for over ten years, yet it cannot compare to his Flying Daggers technique that heʼd just learned not long ago! This doesnʼt make any sense! Unless...ʼ

Min Li turned to look at the beautiful weapon in Yuanʼs grasp.

ʼUnless thatʼs not an ordinary weapon at all! Iʼd been fooled by its lack of aura! That weapon is definitely a powerful treasure! Thereʼs no way someone from the Ancient Family will carry around an ordinary weapon! Since thatʼs the case, I will also use my personal weapon!ʼ

After convincing herself that Yuanʼs Starry Abyss was actually a treasure and not an ordinary weapon at all, Min Li stowed away her ordinary sword and retrieved another sword— a beautiful blue sword that emitted a sharp and profound aura that sent chills down the disciplesʼ back when they saw it.

”There it is! Fairy Minʼs Heaven-grade treasure, the Eternal Fairy Needle!”

”Wow, the blade of that sword is incredibly thin! I have never seen anything like that before! But wonʼt it affect its durability?”

”Are you stupid? Thatʼs a Heaven-grade treasure! You cannot judge treasures by their appearance! Even though it has an incredibly thin blade, itʼs actually more durable than even broadswords— at least thatʼs what I heard.”

Whilst the disciples mumbled to each other, Min Li prepared herself for the third strike.

Sometime later, Min Li stepped forward while shouting in a loud voice.

”Haaaa!”

The eternal Fairy Needle in her grasp flew forward, striking the Training Puppet directly on the chest.

BOOM!

The Training Puppet was sent flying like itʼd been launched by a rocket launcher and landed in the third practice area many meters in the distance.

”Heavens… what a powerful strike! I donʼt think I have seen even Earth-grade techniques display such power!”

”Do you think Fairy Min managed to destroy the Training Puppet with that strike just now?”

”Of course! Thereʼs simply no way the Training Puppet couldʼve survived that!”

However, to everybodyʼs surprise, the Training Puppet returned a few moments later with only a large crack in its chest.

”What the heck? Are the Training Puppets really that durable? To the point where it can withstand even a Heaven-grade treasure?!”

”If thatʼs the case, then how powerful is that disciple whoʼd destroyed it completely?!”

The disciples were shocked beyond belief when they realized just how difficult it was to destroy a Training Puppet, and they all turned to look at Yuan who had been standing there with an innocent face with shocked gazes.

Meanwhile, Min Li stared at the Training Puppet with a slightly angry look on her face, feeling irritated for the first time in many years. As a genius who is often praised by her surroundings and with very few rivals in her life, she cannot help but feel angry when she suddenly meets another individual who she cannot even begin to compare to, not to mention she was being watched by hundreds of other disciples.

ʼI know Iʼd dug this hole myself when I decided to challenge him, but I have vastly underestimated him! If I donʼt destroy the Training Puppet, my face will be in jeopardy!ʼ Min Li thought to herself.

ʼSince it has come to this, I must go all out even if I am cheating a little!ʼ
