Protect Our Clan Leader

“Wait, there is one more thing.”

Li Yuzhe brought out a jade-green leaf, exuding vibrant life, and held it in his mouth.

Visible green energy began to radiate from the leaf, spreading throughout his body.

“Li Yuzhe, have you no shame?” Senior Brother Xiuping cursed angrily, “Are you justifying your defense and gradually stacking up your power? Against a junior sister who is over a decade younger than you, you even used the leaf of the Longevity Tree. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Disciples from Changchun Valley are known for their exceptional defense, not their offense. If the opponent was another disciple, typically they won’t be given such ample opportunity to build up their defense.

The other disciples from Leisure Peak couldn’t help but loudly condemn Li Yuzhe’s shamelessness.

“Brother Yuzhe hasn’t even fought back, what more do you want?” The Changchun Valley disciples retorted dismissively.

The quarrelling from both sides caused Wang Luoqiu to slightly frown.

She extended a hand.

The area immediately quieted down.

“Senior Brother, are you ready?” Wang Luoqiu calmly looked at Li Yuzhe.

Seeing Wang Luoqiu’s calm demeanor, Li Yuzhe felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he might have overdone it.

However, thinking of Wang Luoqiu’s earlier bold words stiffened his resolve.

He felt a responsibility to teach this young girl that there are always mountains beyond mountains and others better than oneself, to not underestimate the Changchun lineage.

“Junior Sister! Please, have at it!”

With the leaf of the Longevity Tree in his mouth, he mumbled and nodded, filled with confidence.

As his voice faded…

Wang Luoqiu moved.

In an instant, she stimulated her War Body to its limit.

This time, not only were her eyes enveloped in crimson energy, but so was her entire body. It resembled a layer of burning flames.

Though thin, it radiated an intense sense of power, presenting her as a majestic young phoenix. Despite her youth, she could not be underestimated.

This was her state with the Double Bloodline awakened. Not only did entering the War Body state become more effortless, but the power was also incomparable to before.

“Boom!”

Her fist struck the Spirit Shield.

Layers of ripple spread on the Spirit Shield, as it was close to breaking.

Li Yuzhe’s body was knocked backwards, flying off the ground.

Before he could touch the ground, Wang Luoqiu, fast as lightning, caught up, grabbed him, and tossed him toward the sky.

This throw sent him up several dozen feet.

Feeling dizzy, Li Yuzhe had lost control of his body.

At the same time, Wang Luoqiu firmly stomped on the ground, leaping high into the air above Li Yuzhe, before she descended and stomped heavily on his body.

“Boom!”

Li Yuzhe crashed hard into the stage like a cannonball.

The dueling stage, cut from ordinary stone, sent debris flying from the impact.

Li Yuzhe turned pale, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

But this was not the end.

Mid-air, Wang Luoqiu used the force from the stomp to ascend again, reaching a height of almost 60 feet, before she flipped and accelerated downward.

She punched out with all her strength stored up.

Under the power of her punch, a light like flames lit up on her fist. She was engulfed in dazzling red light, and like a falling meteor, she was unstoppable.

“Boom!”

In the deafening noise, Wang Luoqiu’s fair fist furiously struck Li Yuzhe.

Li Yuzhe shuddered.

In an almost instant, his Spirit Shield was shattered by the punch, the seemingly impregnable Ancient Tree Armor began to crack, even the stage under him was blasted into a pit, with countless fragments flying out.

“Puff!”

Li Yuzhe spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the leaf of the Longevity Tree in his mouth also flew into the air.

It seemed like Wang Luoqiu had expected all of this.

After throwing out her punch, she didn’t continue her attack but casually stood aside, her voice calm, “Senior Brother Yuzhe, could you please take this seriously now? Can we start our actual spar now?”

Below the platform, everyone was dumbfounded.
