Chapter 54: The Most Simplistic and Crude Battle

On the battle platform, because Gu Yan Ran’s dan’tian was sealed, the wind Elemental Energy beneath her feet couldn’t be replenished, so it soon vanished.
She fell onto the corner of the battle platform, her eyes dyed with cruelty.
She hugged her hands and gave orders to the Lightning Leopard to attack Lou Mu Yan.

“Lightning Leopard, tear apart the face of the woman opposite and destroy her dan’tian for me.” Gu Yan Ran’s bitter voice sounded in the Lightning Leopard’s Demonic Sea of Consciousness.

The fact that the dan’tian in her body was sealed by Lou Mu Yan wasn’t too worrying.
She believed that once she returned to the Gu Clan and found an elder with a higher cultivation base than Lu Mu Yan, then she could expel the yellow talisman incantation.

But she wouldn’t let Lou Mu Yan off.
She couldn’t let this woman shine.
She wanted the Lightning Leopard to completely destroy Lou Mu Yan’s dan’tian and let her become trash again, so that even with the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it couldn’t change anything.

After hearing its owner’s command, the Lightning Leopard’s fur immediately stood on its end.
It barred its teeth and growled at Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes not only didn’t show fear, but faintly displayed some anticipation.
It had been a long time since she had a good fight.
In her previous life, she had obtained a set of Sky Rank body-refining manual that an almighty cultivator of the Immortal Cultivation World left behind describing how to refine the body like Demonic Beasts.
Once the skill was successfully learnt, the hardness of one’s body would rival a True Spirit cultivator1.

After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill to eradicate her Terminal Meridians constitution and start cultivating, she immediately began to re-cultivate that body-refining skill.
Compared to long-range technique attacks, she actually preferred the most simplistic and crude ways of combat methods.

With the experience of her previous life and her current exceptional talent, she quickly finished cultivating the first layer of the skill.
The hardness of her body could now barely compete with a Tier 4 Demonic Beast.
Now that there was a live target for her to practice her hands on, why not.

[ROAR!!]

The Tier 4 Lightning Leopard already bore intelligence.
Looking at the human’s roused battle intent, battle intent also slowly ignited in its eyes.
It desired to vent its anger and hatred, for being forced by a Spirit Beast Master to contract a low-level human who was even weaker than itself, on her.

Lou Mu Yan exercised her fists, and her crystal-clear, clever eyes were filled with brightness, “Come on.
Let me learn how powerful a Middle-Phase Tier 4 Demonic Beast is.”

[ROAR!!] Being belittled by a human was the greatest humiliation possible to him.
The Lightning Leopard gathered all the pressure it could muster to supress the human, roared, kicked its hind legs, leapt up, and swung its sharp front claws towards Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan used her Flash Steps to manoeuvre around the Lightning Leopard’s claws.
No matter how those lightning-fast claws landed, they couldn’t even touch half the corner of her clothes.

[ROAR ROAR!!] The Lightning Leopard roared, and he utilised the power of its Demonic Energy, increasing its speed several times.

The damned human actually had a speed that was no weaker than itself.
It must tear her apart after catching her.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes sharpened, and the wind attribute Elemental Energy surreptitiously gathered beneath her feet, instantly rising the speed of her Flash Steps, avoiding the Lightning Leopard’s attacks with extreme speed.

The people in the audience couldn’t see the movements of the two at all, and could only see the phantoms that flashed on the ground or in the air from time to time.

“What? Lou Mu Yan can evade the attack of a Tier 4 Demonic Beast? Isn’t this speed a bit too fast?” The students on the stands were dumbfounded.
To be able to use such a speed that wasn’t inferior to a Demonic Beast with power comparable to the Sword Spirit Stage, was this really Lou Mu Yan?

“What sort of skill did she cultivate?” A Sword King beside Ruan Li revealed a hint of burning desire.

Ruan Li also had curiosity in his eyes, “I don’t know, but it should be a speed-based auxiliary skill.
Probably given to her by that expert Master of hers.”

Aside from the expert behind Lou Mu Yan, he couldn’t think of how else she received this skill.
After all, the Lou Clan had never used any skills that was speed-based in all these years.

Mentioning the expert behind Lou Mu Yan, the rest of the people also came to understand.
To be able to refine a miraculous pill like the Marrow Cleansing Pill, having a few high-level manuals on hand didn’t seem unnatural.
Originally there were some Sword Masters who had their thoughts on the manual with a burning desire to obtain it, but now felt as if someone poured cold water on them, and could only give up unwillingly.

Lou Mu Yan, who was currently battling the Demonic Beast on the stage to her hearts content, didn’t know that the ‘Master’ she had casually made up helped her reduce some trouble again.
Otherwise there would’ve been many who desired her Flash Step manual.

Emperor Yun Tian Chen found that it was harder and harder to see through Lou Mu Yan.
How did the little woman that used to have no schemer’s heart, and was pure to a point she was even somewhat ignorant, become so cunning and capable.

Gu Yuan Kai had a stern look in his eyes.
He didn’t expect the result to be like this.
Right now, he could only wait for the result.
The Lou Clan already had one number one genius of the Empire, he sure didn’t want to see the Lou Clan add another Sword Master with huge potential.
No matter what, Lou Mu Yan couldn’t be left alive.

After the Lightning Leopard’s claw attacks failed time and again, it was completely angered, raised its head, and roared again: [ROAR ROAR!!]

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes.
The provocation only just started, yet it was angry already? Gu Yan Ran’s Spirit Pet sure was the same as her, both inferior.
It wasn’t fun at all.

Taking the moment the Lightning Leopard stopped to roar, she applied a layer of fire attribute Elemental Energy on her fist, tapped her toe, flew up, and initiated the attack against the Lightning Leopard.

“Is Lou Mu Yan crazy, she’s not avoiding it, but actually started to attack it?” Xiao Zi Ang exclaimed.

Except, the moment his voice fell, and before the others could reply, all they saw was Lou Mu Yan having approached the Lightning Leopard with only a foot’s distance between them, and directly slam her fist onto the left side of the Lightning Leopard’s back.

[BOOM!] Lou Mu Yan’s punch that composed of a violent Elemental Energy fell on the Lightning Leopard’s body just like that.
Unprepared, it was blasted against a stone pillar on the battle platform, followed by a few echoes of destruction.

The Lightning Leopard jumped up from the falling rock that buried it after the stone pillar shattered, and a strong fighting intent was aroused by Lou Mu Yan.
It belittled this woman too much before, and now put away its contempt—it would make her pay for the price of the attack she initiated.

[ROAR!!] The Lightning Leopard roared again.
As it leapt up, it used its body to slam towards Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled lightly, and the fighting intent in her eyes grew thicker and thicker.
A Tier 4 Demonic Beast was indeed not to be underestimated.
If it were a Sword Master that took on that punch, then they would probably already be severely injured.

She was fearless, and even revealed excitement on her face.
She clenched her fists and immediately went up to ‘greet’ it.

Suddenly on the battle platform, all one saw was Lou Mu Yan punch time and again, with numerous fists landing on the Lightning Leopard’s body.
The Lightning Leopard wasn’t idle either.
While avoiding Lou Mu Yan’s punch, it also wrapped its claws with Demonic Energy and directly faced the fists that made its skin feel as if it were burning.

[BANG BANG!] As such, one person and one beast launched the most primitive and simplistic battle against each other—a punch here, a claw there, another attack elsewhere.

Lou Mu Yan flashed about in the air endlessly, dodging the Demonic Beast’s claw attacks one by one.
And every time she dodged, she would swing a fist with fiery energy onto the Lightning Leopard’s body, specifically targeting the Lightning Leopard’s weak spots, and every time she could knock it flying.

What everyone simply saw now on the battle platform was a purple-clothed woman with peerless beauty and elegance, brutally and simplistically bombard the Tier 4 Lightning Leopard that was famous for its speed.
The Lightning Leopard had even retracted its claws and used its entire body to withstand Lou Mu Yan’s attacks, yet it was still in a disadvantageous position.

Many people wondered if they were seeing things.
Numerous creases formed on some people’s foreheads as they furrowed their brows. Lou Mu Yan, was it really good for you to be so violent like this…

1If people still remember, this is a cultivation stage in her previous world.
Basically super strong and many, many stages above her right now.
