Chapter 815 - Choosing to Believe (2/2)

“Alrighty.”

Gu Yan’er took the fruit without hesitation, condensing a bulb of water in front of her to directly wash the fruit. She then waved to disperse the floating water, and smilingly said, “You have to have some bites of this apple too, Master.”

On the barren island.

Cheng Xuemei’s expression was complicated as she looked at the backs of Tang Xiu and Gu Yan’er leaving. She tried to call Tang Xiu out a few times but couldn’t get herself to do so every time. The more she got to know Tang Xiu, the more he became incomprehensible, mysterious, and unfathomable.

“Let’s start now!” Gu Xiaoxue smiled and calmly watched Cheng Xuemei.

Cheng Xuemei nodded without a word. Two Earth dragons instantly rushed out and wrapped Gu Xiaoxue’s bare feet. The Earth element energy gathered from all directions and then formed a series of Earth spikes that shot out at Gu Xiaoxue. At the same time, Cheng Xuemei dashed like an arrow towards her, and she complimented the move with a barrage of seemingly light flying punches which actually contained enormous power.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xuemei, who thought that she could easily knock down the girl in front of her after resting and recovering for a few minutes, had to face a result that made her expression greatly change.

Gu Xiaoxue shook her legs and burst out with them instantly. In nearly a flash, the two soil dragons were shattered and lost their binding effect, whereas the Earth spikes from all directions were also blasted away by Gu Xiaoxue’s waves.

“Pop…”

Cheng Xuemei’s punch was easily caught by Gu Xiaoxue’s hand. The latter lightly pushed it, yet that was still able to send Cheng Xuemei staggering backward a few meters before she finally stabilized her body.

“So powerful.”

It was all a shock to Cheng Xuemei, for she never imagined that the much younger Gu Xiaoxue actually had such imposing power. Although her attack power was only at 60 to 70 percent of her peak power, it was equal to child’s play in front of her opponent.

“Continue!” lightly smiled Gu Xiaoxue.

Cheng Xuemei gritted her teeth and began attacking again.

A few minutes later, Cheng Xuemei weakly slumped to the ground. She then watched Gu Xiaoxue, who stayed spotless, not even have dirt on her. The soil dragons didn’t even leave any stains on her white dress, meaning that she had completely lost. Xuemei then inquired, “Are all Immortal cultivators so powerful like you? I just can’t help but think. My power has rapidly increased by dozens of times, but I can’t even hit Tang Xiu at all, and I even feel much worse after sparring with you.”

“Your strength is not that weak actually,” replied Gu Xiaoxue with a smile. “But you seem to be unable to fully utilize your power. Grand Master said that you have figure out a way to control and utilize your power, so I’ll be your instructor and sparring partner for the next few days.”

“Thank you,” replied Cheng Xuemei gratefully.

“You don’t need to thank me. I’m just doing what Grand Master has ordered me to do,” said Gu Xiaoxue with a smile. “He’s the one you should be thankful to. Alright, then, what drill should I train you with next?”

“Haha.” Cheng Xuemei couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Please let me rest for now. I’m too exhausted.”

Gu Xiaoxue hesitated but then nodded and said, “Alright. Then have some rest first!”

Cheng Xuemei slowly sat cross-legged and took out the human body meridian chart from her pocket, then she began to seriously memorize each meridian and acupoint.

“That thing you have…” interjected Gu Xiaoxue, surprised.

Cheng Xuemei looked up and replied, “Tang Xiu said he’ll impart me a set of immortal cultivation techniques if I can memorize all the meridians and acupoints on this human body chart.

Gu Xiaoxue suddenly understood and smilingly said, “If that’s the case, then I congratulate and welcome you for joining us.”

“Joining you? What do you mean?” asked Cheng Xuemei curiously.

“Don’t tell me that Grand Master didn’t tell you that once you learn an immortal cultivation technique from him then you’ll become a member of Everlasting Feat Hall?” asked Gu Xiaoxue in surprise.

“Nope. He didn’t say anything.” Cheng Xuemei shook her head.

“It’s fine if he didn’t say it,” said Gu Xiaoxue smilingly. “But to put it shortly, you must remember that your background and foundation is that of our Everlasting Feast Hall. We forbid any forms of betrayal, and you must obey the commands from the high-stature members of the Everlasting Feast Hall. Of course, the most distinguished person in our Everlasting Feast Hall is Grand Master himself.”

Cheng Xuemei fell silent for a while before she answered slowly, “I was once a policewoman, and now a member of the Ability Users Bureau. I haven’t thought about joining the Everlasting Feast Hall, and the leaders of my Ability Users Bureau won’t agree to it.”

A trace of disdain appeared on Gu Xiaoxue’s face as she said indifferently, “Will the Ability Users Bureau’s people even have the guts to disagree? You know, we ran into those of the Ability Users Bureau. I don’t know what status that old fogey surnamed Duanmu has in the Ability Users Bureau. But he’ll absolutely not dare to be an enemy of the Everlasting Feast Hall in his entire life.”

“What do you mean?” asked Cheng Xuemei, puzzled.

“If Master wishes to, she could destroy the entire Ability Users Bureau with a flick of her finger,” said Gu Xiaoxue with a pale smile, “Grand Master only needs to nod and we’ll wipe off all the Elementalists of the Ability Users Bureau in the blink of an eye. Just a while ago, those dozens of ability users were only able to kneel before my Master; they weren’t even able to lift their heads.”
