Chapter 162 – Challenge Part 5

Xiao Min’s expression changed slightly. She herself was unable to eat pills like candy, even with her power within the Xiao family. Yet, this girl was actually eating pills like candy before her.

How could this not be a blow to the prideful and arrogant Xiao Min?

“Bitch!” Xiao Min gritted her teeth tightly. Her whip was instantly covered in a layer of flame.

Hong!

The whip swung towards Mu Ru Yue. Countless flames danced all over the weapon as it mercilessly lashed out at the girl who made her grit her teeth in jealousy and hatred. Once she died, all of the pills in her ring would belong to her…

Currently, Xiao Min had a muddled mind due to her anger so she didn’t even consider how Mu Ru Yue was able to possess so many pills.

Mu Ru Yue raised her sword to block Xiao Min’s whip, but the instant Xiao Min’s weapon collided with her sword, it abruptly burst forth with a strong explosive force that struck directly against her chest. Her face paled instantly and she coughed out a mouthful of blood.

“It seems that the young mistress of the Xiao family is a little stronger.”

“She is from Sheng Domain after all. Her martial skills will be top rate. The wife of the Ghost King still isn’t able to cover up this disparity in strength, even with the assistance of pills.”

Everyone was currently discussing the fight, so they didn’t pay the slightest notice to the changes happening to Mu Ru Yue.

At this moment, the spirit dormant inside the Alchemy Book roused itself. It was this Alchemy Book that Mu Ru Yue used to increase her alchemy skills, and it now gave out a faint light. Following that, the flames that had been emitted by Xiao Min were absorbed into her body. If it hadn’t been for that, Mu Ru Yue wouldn’t have gotten hurt and wouldn’t have spat out blood.

The abnormality of the Alchemy Book made Mu Ru Yue slightly flabbergasted. She completely didn’t understand what just happened…

Xiao Min’s attack quickly appeared before her again.

Mu Ru Yue didn’t make any movement this time as she wanted to understand what the Alchemy Book wanted to do. She freely allowed Xiao Min’s flaming whip to strike her body.

A streak of blood appeared on her shoulder, but when the flame neared her body, it was absorbed by the Alchemy Book. After that, the flame transformed into energy within her dantian.

Could it be that since she was a flame attribute martial artist, she could absorb fire elements for her own usage via the Alchemy Book? If this was the case, didn’t she now have a great cheating device?

Yet, Mu Ru Yue understood that it wasn’t omnipotent. If the enemy was too strong, then she would have died under her opponent’s blow before the Alchemy Book could react.

However, she didn’t expect the Alchemy Book to have such a use. All along, she’d just treated the Alchemy book as just a book to increase the rate that her alchemy grew.

When Xiao Min saw that Mu Ru Yue didn’t dodge nor hide from her blow, she sneered in contempt. Could it be that she was seeking her death? If she died, that would be for the best…

Thinking about that, Xiao Min’s attack became even more violent. Each move desired Mu Ru Yue’s life, but the person under attack didn’t react at all. It was as though she didn’t feel any pain. When everyone saw this, they were somewhat disturbed. Xiao Min’s attacks were too venomous. It was obvious that she wanted to torture the girl before her to death.

……

At that instant, Mu Ru Yue’s body emitted an aura. She had unexpectedly broke through under the crowd’s gaze…

Houtian Seventh Stage!

What did a 16-year-old Houtian Seventh Stage practitioner imply?

Even Ye Tian Feng hadn’t been able to break through to the Houtian Seventh Stage when he was sixteen…
