Chapter 259: Chapter 36: Junior Sister! Please Feel Free to Strike_2
Zhang Xiuping looked speechless.
Who else do you want to fight if not them?
Wang Luqiu’s gaze swept over the crowd from Eternal Spring Valley, and then suddenly settled on Senior Brother Jinshan. She calmly said, "I’ve heard that Senior Brother Jinshan is quite skilled. Let’s go with him."
What?!
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Wang Luqiu actually wants to fight Senior Brother Jinshan? That’s crazy!
I knew it.
Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, feeling speechless.
He had to admit, his sixth sister’s personality hadn’t changed since she was a child. She always aimed for the strongest opponent.
He still clearly remembered how Wang Luqiu once organized a group of younger brothers and sisters to gang up on him.
Senior Brother Jinshan didn’t expect to be chosen. He was startled but laughed angrily, "Alright, alright~ since this junior sister is so interested in me, then let’s do it!"
Saying that, he prepared to go back on stage, rolling up his sleeves.
This is just too humiliating! His old rivals Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai said they wanted to fight him, and he understood. But now a little girl who just joined wants to fight him too?
He was prepared to lose face today, but he had to teach this little girl how to behave!
However, before he could take a step, he was pulled back by a few junior brothers beside him.
"Senior Brother, you can’t~"
"Senior Brother Jinshan, calm down! Impulsiveness is the devil~"
"Well, Junior Sister Luqiu..." On the other side, Mu Yuanbai quickly pulled Wang Luqiu aside and said lowly, "Senior Brother Jinshan is almost sixty years old. You should give him some face. How about lowering the age limit a bit?"
Wang Luqiu thought for a moment, felt that her senior brother made sense, and nodded, saying, "Alright~ under fifty years old then."
Senior Brother Zhang Xiuping’s heart trembled. He rushed over, "Junior Sister Luqiu, you’re only twenty. Fighting those under fifty isn’t quite fitting, how about under thirty?"
This junior sister’s talent is exceptional, and it’s normal for her not to regard peers as worthy opponents.
But the Purple Mansion Academy isn’t the outside world, and there are quite a few who have achieved Spirit Platform Realm between thirty to forty. Those at fifty have been immersed in Spirit Platform Realm for a long time. How could you, at Qi Refining Realm, fight them?
Moreover, he, Zhang Xiuping, is nearly fifty and young among the core disciples. His cultivation reached Spirit Platform Realm Third Layer. Junior Sister Luqiu aiming for under fifty would include him too. How could he stand that?
Upon hearing Senior Brother Xiuping’s words, Wang Luqiu frowned slightly, a bit reluctant.
However, considering Senior Brother Xiuping and Senior Brother Yuanbai were generally quite "reasonable," she decided to give them some face.
She hesitated for a moment and then retreated slightly: "Thirty years is too young. Let’s make it thirty-five~ any younger is meaningless."
Thirty-five!
Even so, both Zhang Xiuping and Mu Yuanbai found it incredible. Did Junior Sister Luqiu overestimate her words?
Instinctively, they looked up at the sky towards the three Ascendants.
Master Xuan Yao was also slightly solemn, but since she wanted to try, let her. Even if she lost, it wasn’t embarrassing.
"My dear disciple, then do your best." Master Xuan Yao said calmly, "No matter what happens, your master supports you."
"Thank you, Master."
Wang Luqiu replied with neither joy nor sadness, then turned to Eternal Spring Valley’s crowd, announcing, "Send someone under thirty-five years old."
Upon hearing this, Eternal Spring Valley’s people were outraged.
This is just too arrogant and presumptuous!
This time, Li Yuzhe, who was in charge of recruiting, couldn’t help but step forward: "Little girl, I’m thirty-four this year, just entered Spirit Platform Realm two years ago. Let me see what Carefree Peak is capable of!"
Saying that, he jumped onto the stage first.
Wang Luqiu didn’t seem to notice his anger, calmly stepping onto the stage, saluted to Li Yuzhe, "From Carefree Lineage, Wang Luqiu, please instruct me, Senior Brother."
Li Yuzhe laughed angrily, "Junior Sister Luqiu, I’m over ten years older than you. I won’t take advantage of you. If you can break my defense, you’ll have won."
He then took out a piece of tree bark the size of a palm.
The surface of the tree bark was full of wrinkles, looking simple and weathered, utterly unremarkable.
However, as Li Yuzhe inserted his Profound Qi, the bark expanded instantly. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a suit of thick tree bark armor enveloping him entirely, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Green Wood Profound Qi slowly circulated on the surface of the tree bark armor, even the wrinkled, uneven folds seemed to emit a faint glow, its aura profound and sturdy.
"Junior Sister Luqiu, this is Eternal Spring Valley’s secret technique—Ancient Tree Armor." Senior Brother Xiuping reminded, "Its defense is astonishing. If you can’t break it quickly, it will repair itself."
Wang Luqiu nodded to indicate she understood.
At this moment, Li Yuzhe had already activated his Profound Qi again, a solid green energy rose from his body, and in an instant, a thick green Profound Qi Shield formed around him.
"Wood Spirit Shield, continuously self-replenishing energy." Senior Brother Yuanbai solemnly reminded, "This Spirit Shield is very troublesome, known for "Profound Qi’s indestructibility, Spirit Shield unbreakable.’ If Junior Sister Luqiu lacks explosiveness, breaking this Spirit Shield might be difficult."
Among the crowd, Wang Shouzhe watched and could not help inwardly clicking his tongue.
No wonder Ancestor Longyan commented that Eternal Spring Valley was "extremely resilient." It seems they are more than just "able to withstand."
