Chapter 2017: Domineering Dao (1/2)
The entire place became quiet right away. More than one hundred students became stupefied watching this scene and couldn’t react.
Yao Ting’s mouth was especially agape. She found Li Qiye to be even more mystifying.
Mei Suyao was certainly the number one beauty in the academy with talents on the same level as Ren Sheng and Young Monarch. Even Freesky Young Lord and Rumination G.o.dchild paled in comparison.
The students here called her fairy and thought that she was on the same level as Teacher Yu Qianxuan, only weaker in cultivation.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a G.o.ddess in this academy. So many boys fell in love with her on first sight, even a genius like Rumination. The female students were also admiring her; some had stronger feelings than just admiration.
Though everyone knew that Rumination had a crush on her, other geniuses still tried to court her all the same.
She was willing to discuss the dao with other students but she remained cold on the emotional front. Thus, she eventually became an unreachable G.o.ddess in the clouds. They all wondered what kind of man would be able to win her favor.
But now, Li Qiye today only looked like a common man yet she was acting so affectionately before everyone. Their relations.h.i.+p was surely special.
No one knew why their G.o.ddess would show so much affection towards this stranger. Jealousy naturally aroused in the heart of the male students here. Li Qiye became public enemy number one; even Rumination G.o.dchild scowled.
He was the most annoyed out of everyone here since he got nothing from Mei Suyao despite his effort. But now, this n.o.body was embracing his G.o.ddess to his chagrin. After all the blessings he got from the heaven, he should be completely superior compared to this ugly junior.
The hug lasted for a while before Li Qiye let go and got a careful look at her. He smiled and commented: “You have overcome your mental weakness but not completely. In the compet.i.tion for the grand dao, humility is not necessarily a virtue - same with wis.h.i.+ng to fight! Point your blade at the heaven and thrust! That’s what you need to do!”
“I'm not a match for you in terms of having a domineering dao.” She smiled charmingly like a young lady.
She rarely revealed such an innocent smile. It was a wondrous appearance, enough to steal the soul of the men and women present.
“You will be just fine, it’s just that I left an inner-demon in you back then.” With that, Li Qiye released a dao law from his finger.
This silk-like finger entered her forehead with a buzzing noise. In the blink of an eye, her forehead became resplendent with immortal halos. It made her even more transcendent.
The immortal bone in her forehead was the thing exuding this light; it changed her temperament completely.
This strand of dao law also lit up her dao heart like the rays of the sun. It chased away the dust and confusion, allowing her to jump and fly unrestrained in this vast world.
In the past, she also wanted to reach the apex and exceed everyone else. Alas, after utterly losing to Li Qiye, she found him to be an unsurpa.s.sable goal. Thus, ambition seemed meaningless so she lost her goal. It didn’t matter how strong she could become; there was no overcoming him.
After Li Qiye opened a path to the tenth world, she began on a new dao and her goal was now to defeat herself instead of competing with others. Nevertheless, there were still remnants of doubts and a lack of confidence in her. Of course, this was when she compared herself to Li Qiye, not anyone else.
