Chapter 28

“There's no need to make this complicated, Luo’er. How about we have a contest right now? Since you’ve mastered knowledge below level fifty, surely you can apply it skillfully, right? If you can perform to your full potential, it will prove you didn’t cheat. But if you can’t even control your abilities, that would prove you did cheat. So. do you dare?” Qi Xue provoked.
Upon hearing this, the teacher spoke up: “Qi Xue, you are level thirty. Miss Luo’er is only level twenty.”
Qi Xue replied, “Teacher, don’t worry. My goal is just to verify whether Luo’er cheated. I won’t use my higher cultivation to bully her. So, Luo’er, what’s your answer?”
A deeper smile curved Xing Luo’s lips, though her eyes were ice-cold. Since someone was actively looking for trouble, she was more than willing to oblige.
Although Xing Luo’s cultivation was lower than Qi Xue’s, she had been a Demon Lord in her past life. Even at level twenty now, she could use secret techniques she had developed in her previous life, easily unleashing power far beyond her current level. Taking on Qi Xue, even over-level, would be no problem at all.
Xing Luo said, “Fine. I’ll accompany you.”
Seeing her agreement, the teacher did not intervene further.
Soon, everyone left the classroom and gathered in the courtyard to watch the contest between Xing Luo and Qi Xue.
Qi Xue, though claiming she wouldn’t bully Xing Luo, was secretly thinking that during this match, she could “accidentally” kill her!
She was ten levels higher, killing Xing Luo would be as easy as crushing an ant!
Even if the teacher intervened, he couldn’t directly take Xing Luo’s life, but he would surely destroy her face first!
Then Ye Lixiao would never look at her again!
“Luo’er, you’d better be careful.” Qi Xue’s words barely fell when she struck at Xing Luo with a palm.
The strike seemed ordinary, without any visible magical energy, but Qi Xue’s sleeve concealed a deadly secret: a black dagger. This dagger had been crafted for Qi Xue by a Qi family expert. She could control it with her mind, and while it flew, it emitted no magical aura, making it nearly impossible to detect.
By the time the dagger reached Xing Luo, or even damaged her face, it would already be too late for anyone to stop it.
Qi Xue launched her attack, simultaneously sending the dagger flying from her sleeve, aiming straight for the crown of Xing Luo’s head!
The teacher and the others, seeing this, were too late to intervene.
While others couldn’t detect the hidden threat, Xing Luo had noticed the object in Qi Xue’s sleeve from the very beginning.
Xing Luo condensed energy at her fingertips and drew an invisible, colorless symbol in the air. Using this ethereal sigil, she met the dagger and Qi Xue’s palm head-on.
“Boom” the instant the two forces collided, Qi Xue was blasted backward.
“Pff- ” Qi Xue hit the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. She lay on the ground, clutching her chest, disbelief written all over her face.
Impossible. How could a mere level twenty little demon like Xing Luo hurt her so badly?!
Her dagger had been crafted by an expert, effective against any cultivator below level fifty. How could Xing Luo have neutralized it so easily?!
Before the teacher or others could check on Qi Xue, a surge of powerful and dangerous magical energy suddenly rose in the courtyard.
Then, Ye Lixiao appeared right in front of Xing Luo.
