The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 148

Chapter 148

The mountain was covered in mist as rain fell . The mountain looked as if it was straight out of a fairytale .

A girl in a flowery dress danced at the peak of the mountain with her sword as if she was a flower goddess .

She guided the petals that were falling, all landing on her sword . With a flex of her arm, the petals jumped from her sword and formed a huge sword which was brought down on a huge rock .

The petal sword dispersed as the rock broke into small pieces .

It was the full force attack of an Energy Shaping Second Realm warrior .

Hua Musang was standing on the side as she clapped .

“Cuican, looks like you’ve completely mastered the Second Realm,” Hua Musang smiled . “One hit from you, and that girl would just die . ”

“I’ve always stood beneath Qing Qing, but now that I’ve completely mastered the Energy Shaping Second Realm under your guidance, I can defeat her with just a flick of my finger,” Hua Cuican said . “With grandma as the new City Lord, the Women City will definitely become stronger . I still don’t get why Cai Ling never took a step forward even when she’s so strong . ”

“Grandma is already old,” Hua Musang said as she rubbed Hua Cuican’s head . “I can only guide you for so long . The world belongs to you youngsters now . You have the talent to surpass Cai Ling one day, so don’t ever give up . ”

“I will!”

“When needed, you’ll have to kill Qing Qing . ”

“But why?”

“Qing Qing is apprenticing straight under Cai Ling . Even if she’s weaker than you now, her basics are better than yours . If we let her continue to grow, she’ll become a threat to you in the future . ”

“I see . ” Hua Cuican nodded .

“All right, we should head back to the city . ”

Both of them flew down from the mountain and went back to the Women City .

When they reached the city gate, the guy in the white shirt with the white fan was there to rechallenge the Illusion Circle . But he was thrown out from the circle after a few minutes as the girl watching him laughed .

The guy had been challenging the circle non-stop for the past few days . Even though he never passed the circle, he did not give up, warranting admiration from the girls watching .

“Still no good!” the guy scolded as he got up from the ground . “That guy from before is just way too strong! How did he get past those beasts? Is the spear behind his back really a Spiritual Weapon?”

Even though he was speaking to himself in a low voice, Hua Musang had heard it .

“Hey, did you say the guy from before passed the circle’s first test?” Hua Musang asked in surprise .

“Not only the first test, but he also passed them all!”

The news struck both Hua Musang and Hua Cuican like a hammer hitting them .

There were only two people who had passed the Illusion Circle in the past hundred years . It was clear as day how hard it was to achieve that .

“Are you sure?” Hua Musang scolded as he grabbed the guy by his collar . “Was it that guy dressed in black? Dark eyes and hair? With a blue spear on his back?”

“Yes, that’s him! The guards have seen him too . ”

“Elder Hua, there indeed was a man who’d passed the Illusion Circle,” one of the guards said . “He came with the City Lord, and he seemed close to her . Even though he’s a Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm warrior, he passed the tests like a breeze . ”

“Damn it!” Hua Musang cursed . “Cuican! Let’s go back!”

Hua Musang sat in her living room with a darkened face .

“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Hua Cuican asked .

“Do you remember when I told you how Cai Ling suddenly appeared when I was fighting Liu Qingcheng yesterday? Well, there was a guy beside Cai Ling, and he’s really smart . He stopped our fight with just one sentence!”

“How is that possible? He stopped your fight with just a sentence?”

Hua Musang nodded and told her the reason why the Hua fraction and Liu fraction were fighting .

“Are you suspecting that the guy beside Cai Ling is the guy who passed the Illusion Circle?” Hua Cuican asked in awe as she suddenly understood the situation . “But how is that possible? There’s no way a 15 years old kid could do that!”

“Anything is possible . If I’m not wrong, Cai Ling agreed to the fight because she’s planning to use that guy to fight in Qing Qing’s place . ”

“Aren’t you worrying too much? He’s just a Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm warrior, there’s no way that he could defeat Energy Shaping Realm warriors . ”

“Did you forget what I’ve taught you? Never look down on your opponent . Cai Ling would never agree to a fight where she’ll lose . ”

Hua Cuican nodded at her grandmother’s words .

“We can’t afford to lose this match,” Hua Musang warned . “If we lose, the Hua fraction will die in our own hands . ”

“I know . I won’t go easy on them!”

“Try and train more . I’ll go to the market and see if I can get a charm that’s effective but won’t cost too much energy to use . That charm will be our secret weapon . ”

Hua Musang quickly left her mansion and rushed to the market . It was crowded with people, all of them women . Some were from other cities trying to make a living there .

Hua Musang went through the stalls that were selling charms one by one until she laid her eyes on a piece of charm that was radiating a faint cold mist . It was her first time seeing the charm and believed that it was a rare charm .

“What is this?” Hua Musang asked as she pointed at the charm . “Can you tell me its effect?”

“This is a charm that I just got my hands on,” the old woman who was tending the store smiled . “The seller said that it was a Rank One Charm called the Heavenly Frost Charm . Even though it’s a Rank One Charm, it needs the user to be at least an Energy Shaping Realm to use it . Even an Energy Shaping Realm warrior could be frozen by this charm . ”

“I knew it! The aura from this charm is different . I’ll take it!”
