Chapter 46: One Against a Crowd (2)

More than three months ago, Mu Ruyue clearly had no vital energy fluctuations. If she hadn’t obscured her powers deeply, that meant her breakthrough to the fourth rank happened within these three months.

Reaching the fourth rank from being a waste in three months wasn’t even possible for a genius disciple from Qingyun School.

If that was true, then this woman was terribly talented.

Ye Tianfeng’s eyes flickered subtly. Nobody knew what was on his mind, but there was no mistaking it. At this moment, he began to look at Mu Ruyue squarely.

Ultimately, people had to be pragmatic on this continent.

As a waste, Mu Ruyue wasn’t qualified for a second look from him. But what if she could go from being a waste to a genius? Perhaps a 15-year-old third-ranked warrior wasn’t uncommon, because Mu Ting’er had reached the third rank at the age of 14. Likewise, there were countless disciples in Qingyun School who were even better than Mu Ting’er.

But if this genius had reached her present state in three months, he’d have to consider her seriously.

Ye Tianfeng didn’t notice Mu Ting’er’s gaze in the slightest between the hundred turns in his mind.

Even during the battle, Mu Ting’er kept glancing at her beloved man out of the corner of her eyes, and she also saw a change in the way he looked at Mu Ruyue.

There was so much in those eyes than his initial disgust and disdain.

“Mu Ruyue!” Mu Ting’er’s eyes ignited with fury and murderous intent. Her face twisted up at that moment and she glared hatefully at the girl who was handling things on the stage with ease.

“I want you dead! You must die!”

This b*tch had caught His Royal Highness’s attention, so she mustn’t let her live.

Mu Ting’er’s clenched fists loosened. She took out a yellow paper packet from her lapel, carefully opened it, and swallowed the elixir inside without saying a word.

Boom!

Her aura suddenly soared dramatically, leaping from the fourth rank to the fifth rank in one fell swoop.

Ye Tianfeng couldn’t sit still anymore. He jolted up and looked at Mu Ting’er with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. “In the end, Ting’er still used an Ascension Essence Pill.”

An Ascension Essence Pill would allow a warrior to break through one rank for a short period of time, lasting for half an hour. After that, they would return to their original state.

However, this type of medicine was well-known to have after-effects. Ye Tianfeng didn’t want Mu Ting’er to use it unless it was critical.

Plus, taking an elixir was an act of weakness.

When Mu Ting’er broke through to the fifth rank with the Ascension Essence Pill, she couldn’t help but laugh madly after experiencing her mighty power, as if she could already envision that b*tch, Mu Ruyue, prostrating and trembling at her feet.

It was obvious that Mu Ting’er had gone mad today. Having lost her sanity, she now only had one thought in mind: to kill the woman who caught the eye of His Royal Highness.

“Mu Ruyue, you still can’t beat me after all!” Mu Ting’er gritted her teeth and looked at that stunningly beautiful face. She was dying to go and rip that face apart. She couldn’t stop herself from hating that face so much.

In an instant, a wave of vital force engulfed her and Mu Ting’er swiftly swept towards Mu Ruyue. SWISH.

Her cold sword was like ice, shimmering with a glacial sheen. Mu Ting’er wanted so badly to see her trembling with fear, so instead of attacking her vitals, she focused on ruining her face.

As far as she was concerned, as long as she tore that face off, she would never be able to seduce a man again.

Mu Ruyue, who hadn’t drawn a sword all this time, finally drew her sword as well and welcomed Mu Ting’er’s raging attack impassively. The two swords clashed and sparks flew everywhere. Mu Ruyue felt a tingling numbness between her thumb and forefinger, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.
