Chapter 179: The Brave One Wins!
Translator: IreneEditor: X
Shi Xueman, who was in midair, started bursting out in laughter. She had witnessed all that happened below and was simply unable to hold it in.
All the anger, self-reproach, and guilt that were devouring her flew out of the window in an instant. Freed from those terrible emotions, she became very relaxed and felt that she must have been possessed earlier.
Had she not already known from the start that she would not be like her father? It was just that the daily praises and flattery had fed her ego and made her arrogant.
Her eyes cleared and her irritable heart calmed.
The path she wanted to follow was endless, and at that unattainable, distant end stood the blurry, yet majestic, view of her father’s back. He was like a big mountain, attentively watching her unsteady steps.
Her father must have slashed through countless thistles, thorns, and ferocious beasts before reaching that point. He must have crossed over vast bodies of water, passed through violent storms, and endured the bone-chilling cold of boundless glaciers. Furthermore, he withstood bone-piercing loneliness, carried deep scars all over his body, and travelled alone before arriving at the peak.
How could her hardships count for anything?
Her heart became placid.
Looking at everyone’s warm and gentle smiles, she felt thankful and happy to have such comrades.
Shi Xueman’s laughter was exceptionally clear amid the silence brought about by fierce gaze of the closely packed blood ants’.
Duanmu Huanghun’s face flushed. He felt so ashamed and wished there was a hole for him to hide in. Why was he always the one feeling embarrassed when associated with Ai Hui?
Why…
Before finding a clear answer to this question, the blood ants on the wall suddenly rose.
Like a troop of archers shooting earth-shattering red arrows from a distance in an open field, Duanmu Huanghun only felt things darkening in front of him as the ugly and malevolent appearance of the blood ants magnified before his eyes.
“Let me help you!”
Shi Xue Man's voice sounded in Duanmu Huanghun’s ears like a beautiful melody of nature, and his spirits were slightly shaken. Ever since he was young, he knew that sister Xueman was extremely powerful, so every time he met her, he was very honest. The earlier battle illustrated this. Shi Xueman fought the blood ants alone and was not at all inferior.
However, he still underestimated the power of Shi Xueman.
What Shi Xueman did next frightened everyone. Not only did she not retreat, she took the initiative and charged toward the incoming blood ants.
Sh was like a snow-white humpback cloud whale that charged relentlessly toward a shoal of fishes.
White clouds surged from the spear’s body like fierce solid canes, whipping the incoming blood ants ruthlessly and creating sharp hissing sounds.
Clap!
The sound of unusually concentrated and loud explosions combined together. Those with slightly weaker hearing heard only a single boom as the rain of red arrows caused over ten explosions of blood.
This spectacular scene immediately shocked everyone, including Ai Hui. His mouth gaped wide and disbelief was evident on his whole face as he looked at the domineering blue and white figure in the training hall.
Was this girl really a water elementalist…
He would not feel surprised if Shi Xueman was a fire elementalist. Or a metal elementalist. Brother Li Wei and the guys from the infantry division were good at fighting head-on. Such fierce earth elementalists, although quite rare, were also acceptable.
From the start, earth elementalists were a little sly. Wood elementalists, on the other hand, were gentle and reserved. Seeing that thankless wretch put on airs was the best example.
Yet, who was the gentlest of them all? Water elementalists, most definitely.
This was determined by the characteristics of water elemental energy. It was soft and easily mutable. It could change between water and cloud, cloud being the softest matter.
Shi Xueman’s attack, however, was overbearing and unyielding. Ai Hui conceded defeat.
Ai Hui had heard a saying that women were made of water. Now, he finally realized that this so-called water was certainly molten iron.
None of the women he had met were gentle.
8,000,000 yuan lady was incredibly ferocious too, probably comparable to Shi Xueman, the iron lady. One Thousand Yuan looked feeble, but was much more dangerous than the other two. When Ai Hui escaped the previous time, he made up his mind to run if he ever met One Thousand Yuan. The further the better.
Ai Hui was shocked. There was no need to mention the others, even Duanmu Huanghun had momentarily forgotten about his [Viridescent Flower].
Suddenly, Ai Hui noticed that the actions of her body were abnormal and opened his eyes even wider.
Iron lady seemed to have made a breakthrough… No way…
Everyone else’s attention was quickly drawn to Shi Xueman’s increasing elemental energy movements. Their faces were mixed with shock and joy. All of them had their eyes opened as wide as possible, in fear of missing any details.
Sss!
The spiraling, water plant-like clouds on Shi Xueman’s back, the surrounding dispersed clouds, and the clouds emitted by the spear entered her body suddenly, like a whale inhaling air through its blowhole.
Shi Xueman’s exaggerated body movements from earlier immediately disappeared without a trace. She floated in the air as if unconscious, her body motionless.
A strange hint of color flashed across Ai Hui’s eyes. He had a keen sixth sense and could feel the elemental energy within this iron lady’s body. It was operating at an astonishingly crazed speed.
All at once, the blood ants that were flying everywhere started hissing at Shi Xueman.
