“Whoever goes out of the circle first is the loser! The bet is based on what was just mentioned—if you lose, you will not be allowed to appear in front of me anymore!” Tong Lan drew a circle on the floor with the tip of her foot and marked a thick, palm-sized impression in the tile. She then stood in the center of the circle and looked up at Qing Lian who was across from her.
“Do you think you will win? If you lose, you will have to respectfully address me as your sister every time you see me.” Qing Lian smiled as she looked at the small kid.
In Great Xia, achieving the Man Wheel level at this age was considered good. To be an Earth Wheel expert by the age of 20 was exceptionally rare.
However, this girl in front of her was about ten years old and her strength was equivalent to an intermediate stage Earth Wheel expert.
Naturally endowed talent like this was really scary.
What was scarier was that it wasn’t only her that had this power.
Around her, many of those that were slightly older than her were Earth Wheel experts. For example, the few 15 or 16 year old teenagers in the classroom as well as the teenage couple who were standing nearby.
The aboriginals were really a formidable race.
Even though Qing Lian was absolutely confident in her strength and could even escape from Cardinal Heaven experts, she was still shocked by the cultivation potential of the aboriginals.
The other three nations had imposed a technological blockade on the aboriginals. Under the conditions of being poor, lacking food, and lacking weapons, they were still able to defeat Great Xia a year ago with 100,000 aboriginal soldiers and put pressure on both the Yun Nation and the Chen Nation.
If the aboriginals didn’t lack food and weapons, their army of 100,000 would be really formidable.
She was still uncertain whether Su Qing had made the right decision.
However, she soon laughed at herself. She wasn’t a sage—what did this have to do with her?
She only had to finish this transaction with Su Qing to realize his wishes. After that, Su Qing would use the whole country’s resources to fulfil her requirements. This was acceptable to her. What did other matters have to do with her?
She was only a small woman after all!
Tong Lan, who had been waiting in the circle for a long time for Qing Lian to make a move, raised her eyebrows and shouted, “Hey, can you be faster?”
Qing Lian smiled, walked a few steps to the circle, unsheathed her sword with the tip pointed down at the ground, and said, “Let’s start.” You’re reading on NovelFull .Tks!
Tong Lan didn’t say anything as she planted her foot on the tile. Like a bullet, she pounced on Qing Lian and incessantly rained 13 blows at her from midair. As if Tong Lan was taking revenge on it, every blow was aimed at Qing Lian’s chest.
Accompanied by explosive sounds, the high-speed punches were almost invisible. No one doubted that the person in front would be smashed if even one punch landed,.
“You evil girl!” As Qing Lian looked at Tong Lan’s moves, her eyes twitched a few times before a sword curtain appeared in front of her to block the 13 punches.
“Your strength is tremendous!” The two had just traded blows, and Qing Lian was stunned because the strength of this girl was much stronger than expected.
Clang, clang, clang… As the sword and the fist clashed 13 times, Qing Lian retreated three steps in succession and stopped just inside the circle.
“Get out!” Tong Lan jumped up and kicked continuously with both legs at Qing Lian.
Qing Lian leaped at the same time, but ascended higher than Tong Lan and flipped over her head. At the same time, a flash of white light sped like a thunderbolt at Tong Lan.
“Oh no!” the surrounding people exclaimed. They didn’t expect the battle to reach a conclusion so fast.
Tong Lan instantly twisted her body in midair a few times and slapped her right palm several times against the body of the sword to move it aside.
“What a clever girl—it seems I need to display some more moves.” Qing Lian was surprised as she didn’t expect a girl at this age to have enough experience to counter her strike or for Tong Lan’s reaction to be so fast.
Tong Lan changed her expression as she landed on the ground, looked behind Qing Lian, and asked, “Your Majesty?”
Everyone else was shocked by these words and wondered what the empress was doing here.
All of them turned their heads to look.
Qing Lian initially wanted to turn her head to look, but then, she restrained her neck from turning. From the corner of her eye, she saw the girl charging at her.
This girl is evil! Qing Lian muttered silently to herself, I almost fell for it!
Tong Lan came close to her body and charged at her with her shoulder. Blocking her sword with one hand, Tong Lan proceeded to kick at Qing Lian’s crotch area.
After forcing Qing Lian to retreat, she continued to talk as she attacked Qing Lian and asked, “Why must you come to the Black Bamboo Academy? Why don’t you leave? You come here, yet you don’t understand anything. You must be a so-called big-breasted bimbo as your bust is so big that your brain must surely be full of mush…”
“Don’t tell me you are interested in the gigolo? This isn’t allowed—Her Majesty will kill you! She will skin you even if she doesn’t kill you!” Tong said seriously after suddenly realizing something.
“You deserve to be slapped!” The more Qing Lian listened to Tong Lan, the angrier she got. This girl was rather pretty, but she was really annoying and her tricks kept on coming, one after another. She also uttered nonsense to upset others.
…
“Who did Tong Lan learn this from?” From the top of the wall, Shi Gang and the others were looking at the scene and feeling puzzled. The Tong Lan they knew wasn’t like this. She had become so crafty and spouted so much rubbish…
“It’s definitely not Minister Tong who taught her!” Shi Gang affirmed. Although Minister Tong liked to argue with Minister Qin, the two would fight after a few arguments. It wasn’t like Tong Lan, who talked while fighting.
“Don’t you think she is similar to a certain person?” another student suggested.
“She is similar to Yagui!” the people beside him responded.
“I heard that Tong Lan often goes to the palace to train with Yagui!”
After some discussion, they discovered where Tong Lan had learned these bad habits.
Sure enough, no one else except for Yagui behaved this way.
…
“Where did you buy your shoes from? I saw grandpa bringing one back the other day. He said that it was a gift from a lady in the brothel. Were you there too? What were you doing there and did you see my grandpa?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!” Qing Lian freaked out. Why was this little girl so wicked? Her brain was full of nonsense, and although she didn’t use vulgar words, she might as well directly use vulgar words!
Originally, she didn’t want to attract attention, but now, Qing Lian was prepared to fix Tong Lan with all her might!
“Nine Clouds!” Qing Lian thrust her sword repeatedly to force Tong Lan to retreat. Then, as she pointed her sword at the sky, everything in the surroundings seemed to gather around her sword.
In the distance, the expression on Shi Gang’s face changed as he exclaimed, “It’s getting worse!”
Tong Lan’s face also changed. She kicked her legs continuously, causing her two shoes to fly off her feet and head toward Qing Lian’s face.
She stamped her spotlessly white feet on the ground, causing the tiles to disintegrate into pieces that flew toward Qing Lian. Tong Lan retreated as she shouted, “Your pants have fallen down! It isn’t honorable for me to win because you can’t fight at the moment. I will let you pull up your pants before fighting again.”
