Chapter 332 - Fu Chengyu’s Warning
Chapter 332: Fu Chengyu’s Warning
“How did you do it?” Xiao Tianfan asked finally, staring at Ling Chuxi. After that, his eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed to the ground. With all the flashing lights and sparks, he had not noticed the finger gesture Ling Chuxi had made in a rush.
Ling Chuxi could not reply because she herself was dumbfounded. She did not think that the Battle Qi condensed in her finger, together with the Turning Cloud Gesture, would be so strong that it could break the accumulated overlapping Battle Qi of the Great Fulfilment realm.
However, at least she managed to understand why there would be a great depletion of Battle Qi after using the Turning Cloud Gesture. It was because the Battle Qi which the Turning Cloud Gesture accumulated was too tyrannical and surpassed one’s body’s limits. If one did not maximize and explosively use up all the Battle Qi, then the move could not be used. The stronger the Battle Qi accumulated, if used, the greater the depletion of Battle Qi – just like what had happened with Xiao Tianfan.
As for herself, because she had long condensed her Battle Qi to a single point, when she used the Battle Qi which had accumulated by a few folds, her control also become much easier and thus her Battle Qi was not depleted.
An idea flashed in Ling Chuxi’s mind. If this type of Battle Qi usage and the Turning Cloud Gesture were combined, wouldn’t it be perfect?
Nobody could tell that Ling Chuxi had used the Turning Cloud Gesture, but Fu Chengyu could! He looked at Ling Chuxi in shock. She had actually done it! She had actually learned someone else’s secretly inherited martial arts skill just by watching them, without even the guidance of a master! What kind of fearsome potential was this? How many people in the world could actually do something like this?
“Moving on – are we still going to continue to compete?” The emperor asked casually, breaking the silence in the palace hall and disrupting Ling Chuxi’s thoughts.
Only then did everyone realize that Xiao Tianfan had lost. Xiao Tianfan who had cultivation which far surpassed the usual Great Fulfilment realm had lost. Looking at the elegant and beautiful Ling Chuxi, everyone was filled with admiration and awe. If they were not at the imperial palace, there might have been raucous cheering.
The envoy from Dong Xing Country shook his head dejectedly.
The birthday banquet thus ended well. Ling Chuxi had helped Nan Xia Country turn the tide. The emperor was extremely happy and had bestowed her with quite a bit of treasures. Ling Chuxi accepted them all shamelessly – one could never have too much money, after all.
The banquet ended and Ling Chuxi sat in the carriage which the emperor had specially dispatched to return them to the residence. Fu Chengyu had stayed back and let Ling Chuxi leave first.
The first prince stood at the walkway and stared after Ling Chuxi maliciously. He gritted his teeth and hissed, “Ling Chuxi, you despicable person.” His tone was full of hatred, resentment, and bitterness.
“You better not even think of touching her.” Suddenly, an icy voice rang out.
The first prince jolted in surprise. Who had been able to approach without him noticing, and had even heard his words? He turned around and met Fu Chengyu’s cold gaze.
“Well, well. It’s Ninth Imperial Younger Brother,” the first prince sneered, as if looking down on Fu Chengyu. Fu Chengyu was the most unnoticed prince, even the emperor would never place his sights on him. How could the first prince ever notice such a transparent prince without authority or might?
