Chapter 527 (2/2)

...

Outside the hall, Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura were strolling around randomly. Unlike other organizations, the Ghostface Sect was much less bustling. Not many pedestrians could be seen walking around, and most of the time, only the occasional patrolling members in a group of three to five could be seen.

Most members were either in cultivation or out of the sect on missions. Thus, the Ghostface Sect's headquarters was rather quiet. One could say that the Ghostface Sect was a sect that focused on growth and wasted no time doing unnecessary things. The two walked a serene stone path without saying anything. It was as if both were waiting for the other to say something, or perhaps both had no idea what to say.

Eventually, Lady Shura was the first to break the silence, ”I heard you have become a special-recruit disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy?”

Xiang Shaoyun nodded. ”Yes, looks like you are quite well informed. Take your mask off and fight me. Let's conclude our deal before I leave for the Dragon Phoenix Academy.”

Back then, after seeing Lady Shura's real face, he was greatly attracted to her. He did not wish to see her fall into the embrace of another man. She could only be his. They had then made a promise that so long as Xiang Shaoyun could surpa.s.s her in three years, she would become his woman, with Green Ghost's approval.

”Ok. I want to see for myself your actual strength as well,” said Lady Shura. She knew he was a War Emperor, but she was two stages above him in cultivation level. As one of the city's top-10 young experts, she was no pushover either. She did not believe that she wouldn't be a match for him.

Thus, she brought him straight to the Ghostface Sect's training field. The training field was located indoor instead of outdoor. It was a stone room of about 2,000 square meters in size. The room was further reinforced by a formation. Any attacks below the strength of the formation would not be able to deal any damage to the room.

Both Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura entered the stone room.

”Bring it on!” said Lady Shura with a thick battle intent in her eyes.

As the representative of the new generation of Ghostface Sect experts, she had the favor of the sect master. Therefore, she did not wish to be defeated by Xiang Shaoyun, who had a lower cultivation level than her.

But she also knew that Xiang Shaoyun had impressive combat prowess. Thus, she longed to have a battle with him so as to verify her own strength and to see if he was really as strong as rumored.

”Take your mask off first,” Xiang Shaoyun requested.

”You can freely take the mask off if you win,” said Lady Shura.

”Hehe, I can take off that mask freely even without defeating you,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile. He had barely finished his words when only an afterimage was left where he stood. He then reappeared before Lady Shura and grabbed at her mask.

Lady Shura had not expected that he was that fast. Fortunately, she reacted in time and quickly blocked his hand with her own hand, stopping him from taking off her mask.
