The boy, however, didn’t take the chance to secure a victory strike, but ran to Cheng Yannan, extending his hand to care for her. “A… are you okay? I was afraid to use my full power just now. That was… just half of my power, as using more was useless. You’re too weak, and I didn’t do that on purpose.”
Puff…
Cheng Yannan was flustered and exasperated. It was such a mental attack that made her spurt a mouthful of blood.
She was already dumbfounded at this moment. She could still have an excuse if this little guy took the initiative to come out and defeat her. She thought that Tang Xiu must have brewed up some dirty tricks secretly if it was the case. But she picked this boy herself this time. And yet, how come his strength was so powerful? As she punched him it felt like she was hitting a steel plate, and the impact made her whole arm go numb.
“YOU—”
The boy hurriedly grabbed Cheng Yannan’s other arm, pulled her up until she stood and spoke with concern, “You’re not injured, are you? We’re not enemies, and I don’t want to hurt you since we’re on the same side.”
Cheng Yannan’s lips shivered. She looked up at Tang Xiu and asked, “What level of cultivation has he reached, exactly?”
“Tell her, little guy,” said Tang Xiu with a light smile.
“I just reached the late-stage of Qi Refining, but I’m afraid it will be a while before I advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage,” answered the boy. “But I’ll definitely work hard to practice and have a breakthrough earlier later, Boss.”
Tang Xiu smiled and nodded at him. He then waved at him and looked at Cheng Yannan, asking, “Well, how was it? You kept being hit and sent upside down, can your body still endure it? If you still can withstand, stand up once more and pick your new match. That’s right, you haven’t yet used your special ability, so you can try unleashing your special abilities and see which one is more powerful in the next spar, your special abilities or these children soldiers.”
Cheng Yannan took a deep breath and looked at a five-year-old girl. This little girl was very thin and seemed like she had malnutrition. She hooked her finger toward the girl and said, “Little girl, it’s not like Big Sis wants to bully you. But Big Sis just lost her face, so I want to win at least once. You can go all out to attack me, and I’ll be sure to be careful on my part.”
The little girl smiled, revealing her two small tiger teeth, and said innocently, “It doesn’t matter, Big Sis. Boss already told us that we must go all out when fighting no matter what kind of enemies we face. I just got enlisted into the team for six months and I’m the weakest among my companions.”
“Ehh? What do you mean, Lil Sis?” asked Cheng Yannan with a frown.
“That means you’re already very powerful if you can win me, Big Sis.” The little girl laughed and said, “But if you can’t defeat me, you don’t have to challenge the rest anymore because you won’t be able to defeat anyone else.”
Cheng Yannan’s face turned black. She almost couldn’t resist punching the girl. It was crystal clear to her now that none of these seemingly harmless and innocent little guys were weak and easy to deal with as they seemed.
“Let’s fight!” Cheng Yannan didn’t bother speaking anymore. She needed to defeat one of them and gain back her dignity.
The little girl slightly bowed. “Please enlighten me.”
In order to gain back more of her dignity, Cheng Yannan directly spoke, “You move first!”
“Okay!”
The little girl hesitated for a moment. Then, she observed Cheng Yannan’s left and right face and seriously said, “Big Sis, I think the bruise on your face isn’t symmetrical and kind of ruins your attractive face. But worry not, I’m going to help you, and you’ll look pretty again.”
As her voice faded away, her fresh, reddish fist had already appeared in front of Cheng Yannan. Just as the latter’s pupils shrunk and had no time to block or dodge it, that pink fist had already hit her right eyelid. Just as she felt blurry after getting punched in the head and tried to retreat backward, the little girl’s shadow closely followed her and sent a barrage of punches on the right half of her face. Only then did this little lassie step back, looking satisfied.
“Umm?!”
The little lassie looked dull and halted as she saw Cheng Yannan fall to the ground and cover the right side of her face.
Tang Xiu looked at Cheng Yannan with a strange face and shifted to the little girl with a similarly bizarre expression. He suddenly laughed and said aloud, “Hahaha, I made you stay here to train without any malice toward you whatsoever, Cheng Yannan. Those three kids, regardless of how tender their age is, are equally qualified to be your teachers. You should understand the principle of those who deserve to be called teachers regardless of any profession, shouldn’t you? So, stay here and train well. I’ll send someone to feed and strengthen you later, hahaha.”
Mo Awu and Kuwako Yamamoto’s faces were also flushed at this moment. They quickly rushed out of the training ground. They wanted to laugh but then remembered that they would work with Cheng Yannan in the future, so they could only hardly suppress the urge until they rushed out of the training ground and finally burst into laughter.
Crawling up difficultly from the ground despite the burning pain in her face, Cheng Yannan felt that her self-esteem was just hit harder now.
She had lost! Completely and thoroughly in just one blow!
She originally didn’t want to bully these three little guys, but it resulted in her losing three fights and getting beaten by these three kids. No… she got beaten thrice.
Only now did she finally realize clearly how narrow her previous thoughts were. She had looked down on these children, but it turned out that it was she who was ignorant to the extreme. It was very likely that any of these children could defeat her.
“Tang Xiu! … Sect Master!”
With an apologetic face, Cheng Yannan glanced deeply at the direction where Tang Xiu just vanished. Then, she shouted, “You’re back, Mo Awu.”
After spending some time laughing, Mo Awu returned to the training ground and looked at Cheng Yannan’s swollen face. He tried hard to restrain himself from laughing, saying, “What’s up? You don’t feel training with them is a shameful thing now, right?”
