Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Perhaps only Yang Wanliu, standing on the platform, noticed something amiss when the Thunder Wood’s lightning hit his opponent. Below the swirling electric light, the young girl’s figure seemed to still be moving.

Based on Yang Wanliu’s consistent understanding of the Thunder Wood’s Thunder Power, anyone struck by the lightning would be instantly paralyzed. Even for the briefest duration, it was impossible for this to change.

The only possibility was that the young girl hadn’t been hit by the Thunder Wood’s Thunder Power at all, allowing her to move even now. But with such swift Thunder Power, how had the young girl managed to evade it?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

However, at the next instant, whether it was Yang Wanliu on the platform or the thousands of cultivators watching from below, none harbored that much confusion and doubt any longer. Because, shortly after, the figure of the young girl atop the platform once again became visible.

”What... What is that?”

Many people let out exclamations of amazement. The girl who now appeared before their eyes was no longer in her previous state. Around her, she was surrounded by a special layer of light and shadow.

This special layer of light and shadow looked like a lotus flower that had been stretched several times its size, enveloping the girl’s entire figure. There were even flashes of lightning entwining it, making Family Head Yang Wanliu and the onlookers realize what had just happened.

It was clear that what had just occurred was not like what Family Head Yang Wanliu had thought in his mind—that the girl had dodged the strike of the Thunder Wood’s Thunder Power with some special movement technique. Instead, she had timely initiated this defensive measure.

Although everyone was unclear about the true nature of the lotus-like defense, seeing how the lightning could not harm the girl in the slightest, everyone understood that this protective technique was anything but ordinary.

”Tsks, who would have thought that just one month into barely controlling the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, she has already mastered the ’Pure Lotus Protection’ technique. This talent is indeed impressive!”

Perhaps only Yun Xiao, among the crowd under the stage, understood something about Hu Ying’er’s lotus-like defense, since he had seen this technique in his past life in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

However, the lotus light and shadow around Hu Ying’er at this moment was still very indistinct. Compared to the Protective Pure Lotus that Yun Xiao had seen in his past life, it was weaker by who knows how many times.

The Protective Pure Lotus that Yun Xiao had seen in his past life was truly dazzling with a radiance that could be seen for thousands of miles, and lotus flowers spread as far as the eye could see. Even the attacks of Holy Rank Third Realm powerhouses could not penetrate a thread of that golden light. This was the formidable aspect of the light from the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body.

Although the Lotus Light that Hu Ying’er was currently using was still weak, it was more than sufficient to withstand the attack of a cultivator in the Early Stage of the Qi Seeking Realm. Didn’t you see how the rampant lightning was completely devoured without a trace as the Lotus Light rotated?

”Protective Lotus Light, disperse!”

Just as Yun Xiao was reflecting on this in his heart, Hu Ying’er let out a low shout on the stage. Following the change in her handprints, the Pure Lotus Light that had been entwining her suddenly detached itself.

”Pure Lotus Light, both offensive and defensive, this girl indeed possesses astonishing talent!”

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao sighed again, because he knew that the Pure Lotus Light was not merely for protection; once cultivated to a certain degree, it could be detached from the body and used to subdue and injure enemies.

Yun Xiao previously thought that in this period of over a month, Hu Ying’er had only mastered Pure Lotus Protection, but he had not expected that she had even dabbled in the technique of detaching and injuring others, which truly impressed him.

”Looking at it this way, this battle might not be without the possibility of victory!”

Yun Xiao, who had not held much hope for Hu Ying’er before, now had such a thought in his mind. However, he clearly had underestimated some situations, as perhaps unexpected changes would occur in this arena battle.

Boom! Crack! Boom! Crack! Boom! Crack!
