CHAPTER 388
The True Teacher
============================================================
Living?
All three disciples' faces paled with dread upon hearing this!
The Hall of the King of Hell? Living?
With Master's current demeanor, was he planning to push these three to their limits?
Then, Li Shiyao crept up sneakily and whispered into Ye Qinghan's ear: "Senior Sister, look at this Master… Could he be an imposter?"
"Ha!" Dongfang Jue couldn't hold back and burst out laughing!
Su Cheng chuckled too: "Well, Shiyu, what do you plan to do? Still intend to chop your master?"
"Er… Shiyu wouldn't dare…"
The banter ended abruptly. Today's lesson began with Li Shiyao flying sideways across the room…
For the first time in her life, Li Shiyu had been kicked flying by someone other than her senior sister—and it was her own sister, Crane Light, who had done it…
Before Dongfang Jue could revel in the satisfaction, he followed right behind Li Shiyu as they both flew out…
Ye Qinghan reacted, but not fully…
"Got it now? Shiyáo, once you step through this door, there are no nice sisters."
"If you want your watermelon, you'd better try walking out of here on your own two feet~"
The three sisters exchanged glances, instantly understanding they must join forces!
"Shiyao! Suppress!"
Li Shiyu stomped her foot on the ground, causing Second Grandma and First Grandma to tremble! With fierce resolve, she declared, "Understood!"
Li Shiyu instantly drew the Chaos Bell, shielding everyone before her as she charged forward, bellowing!
Li Shiyu was instantly kicked flying, crashing before the crowd as she screamed in pain!
Ye Qinghan instantly drew the three-foot Frostsword, leaping forward as the blade pointed straight at He Guang's face!
Ye Qinghan was instantly kicked flying, crashing heavily to the ground and landing directly on top of Li Shiyao!
Dongfang Jue instantly lifted both senior sisters, attempting to flee!
He Guang instantly shifted before Dongfang Jue, piercing through all three with a single kick that sent them flying…
All this unfolded in the blink of an eye…
Truthfully, the three had suspected He Guang was formidable, but never imagined he'd be this monstrously strong!
"Amber has prepared a sumptuous dinner for the three young ladies, but first, they must accompany me for an afternoon of play."
"The game ends here. Now, your sister Heguang will get serious~"
The three disciples exchanged glances. Get serious?
What were we doing just now?
What does "the game ends here" even mean? Does this next step mean she's going to kill us three sisters?
"Run!"
As Hakko's lips curved into a faint smile, her silver-white heavy armor activated, and Lady Hakko entered combat mode!
This will be a slaughter!
Watch as blades flash across the sky! Even giving their all, the three direct disciples could only scatter in flight!
Their vaunted immortal arts proved utterly useless against an enemy of Immortal Sovereign strength—barely capable of buying a few seconds!
In an instant, a blade flashed past Li Shiyu's back. Blood trickled down the wound on her arm, sending panic surging through her!
Shiyao, once a sacred maiden and now a cherished treasure, rarely suffered injuries—at most, she'd get scolded by her senior sister!
Seeing blood now left her utterly stunned!
The Chaos Bell activated instantly, its golden light enveloping the entire hall!
Time froze, yet Su Cheng, possessing the authority to destroy worlds, remained unaffected.
Su Cheng remained silent, silently watching as he counted down the seconds in his mind for Li Shiyu's divine power.
A full twelve seconds… Twelve seconds could accomplish so much…
When the twelve seconds passed, Li Shiyu had retreated to a corner to tend to her wounds. Yet she hadn't forgotten her senior and junior sisters, redirecting the Crane Light's assault to grant the two young women a moment's respite.
When Crane Light came to her senses, she was stunned!
But for the moment, she couldn't comprehend what kind of divine power this was!
"Interesting~ Let's go again!"
But it couldn't always be Li Shiyao stealing the spotlight. While Li Shiyao quietly healed herself, Ye Qinghan also managed to get back on her feet!
The Frost Blade trembled slightly in her hand as the urge to fight surged within her chest. Her master's gaze grew increasingly intense, so scorching that she dared not meet it.
Ye Qinghan always yearned to prove something to her master. Even though she knew her master was always watching her, she still craved more of that gaze.
The Ling Frost Sword Array trembled. The young girl yearned for her master's praise, yearned for him to love her just a little more. Even though his eyes were already filled with her, her longing remained unquenchable.
She yearned for that gaze, brimming with affection, to engulf her, to drown her in a river of love.
Her form dissolved into streaks of light as she vanished, the long sword becoming an extension of her body. With divine power unleashed in an instant, the sword formation spread out before her.
"Shattering Army Sword, Intercepting Clouds!"
Ye Qinghan was indeed the strongest of the three sisters, her overall abilities reaching their peak.
Yet she was clearly clouded by emotion, forgetting that the lesson's objective was survival.
Surprisingly, Ye Qinghan's strike prompted He Guang to dodge—the only time he had done so all day.
Yet Ye Qinghan still couldn't escape being relentlessly pursued. The three of them combined couldn't find a single opening to strike…
"Senior Sister! Shiyao can't keep up!"
"Senior Sister, we'll fight her head-on!"
"Fight my ass! Run! Find a way to open the door!"
Whereas their past tactics had focused on annihilating enemies, now the trio's minds were consumed solely with escaping this hall!
He Guang wielded some unknown immortal technique that made his blows excruciatingly painful. That single kick nearly brought Ye Qinghan to tears…
Only now did the trio truly grasp why this lesson was called "Staying Alive"…
While Su Cheng trained his three direct disciples here, Xiao Ai wasn't idle either. She led a group of Valkyries to the Lingxian Hall.
Alongside the outer sect disciples, a dozen Valkyries dressed in casual training uniforms stood in formation, each striding confidently. From every angle, they presented a striking sight—each unique in stature and presence!
Soon, two petite figures approached gracefully. Xiao Ai walked slowly before the group of Valkyries and spoke.
"Let me introduce you to your new instructor—Teacher Yu Lan."
"In the days ahead, she will teach you the magic of this world."
"This is a precious opportunity. I hope you will cherish it and study diligently. I believe you will come to love the magic of this world."
As her words fell, the Valkyries chorused in unison: "Greetings, Teacher!"
Yulan was startled by the greeting from this group of professional assassins. She wondered if they would listen to her when Xiao Ai wasn't around.
But clearly, Xiao Ai had anticipated this issue.
"Xiao Ai is usually very busy. Though these girls are a bunch of unruly troublemakers, rest assured, Yulan. Standing here, they are students, and you are their teacher."
"Besides, they begged for this chance. Not everyone gets it. They have plenty of work, so this is both a learning opportunity and a break for them."
"They're tough as nails in every way—can take a beating and withstand criticism. No need to spare Xiao Ai's feelings."
Like He Guang, if Su Cheng hadn't spoken up, Yulan would never have taken on this kind of work for herself.
"With such trust from Lady Gu Ai, I shall give my utmost effort."
What surprised Yulan, however, was that Lady Gu Ai, right before everyone's eyes, broke from her usual demeanor and bowed deeply to her.
"To you, this might seem like a minor matter, but for them, every additional possibility means another chance to survive."
"On behalf of these children, Xiao Ai thanks you, sister Yulan."
