The tiny figure conjured by the Imperial Teacher System had its little mouth open so wide at this moment, it looked like it could swallow a whole fist.
Su Chen hadn’t made a move—did that mean this punch was delivered by Ruo Ximeng? How was that even possible!
“Ahem, little friend, apologies, but the Testing Stele must be broken. You’ll need to test again.”
At that moment, the Yuntian Palace Attendant beside the Testing Stele finally spoke up.
He had been startled at first, but now, he was convinced the Testing Stele must be faulty. Otherwise, how could there be such a terrifying monster?
After the Yuntian Palace Attendant spoke, the many cultivators around suddenly realized what must have happened.
Xia Caiyan, who had been standing there with her mouth agape, took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
That’s right, the Testing Stele must be broken. No matter how strong someone was, at most their score would just be higher. She had never heard of anyone blasting the Testing Stele to pieces.
“Um! Doesn’t my previous result count?”
Ruo Ximeng pouted, thinking this test would be difficult, but now it seemed it was no different from punching through paper.
“Haha, little friend, this was a mistake on our Yuntian Palace’s part. Sorry to trouble you, but please test again.”
After the Yuntian Palace Attendant had someone bring out a brand-new Testing Stele, he spoke again, this time with a warm and pleasant demeanor.
“Alright then.”
Ruo Ximeng glanced back at Su Chen, and when she saw him nod and smile, she prepared to test again.
This time, all the cultivators released their spiritual senses, carefully observing Ruo Ximeng to prevent her or anyone else from cheating.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Ruo Ximeng didn’t use her full strength this time—she just threw a casual punch.
“Buzz!”
Immediately after, an astonishing scene unfolded!
The numbers on the Testing Stele shot up from zero all the way to one hundred, and the “Level 100” indicator flashed wildly. After a few breaths, this brand-new Testing Stele let out a cracking sound and shattered with a bang.
“Hiss—”
In an instant, countless cultivators felt like they couldn’t breathe!
Ruo Ximeng hadn’t cheated at all. This seemingly nameless little rogue cultivator was actually a once-in-a-billion super prodigy!
Beside her, Xia Caiyan felt like she was about to suffocate. Just what kind of monster was this!
She hadn’t even used her full strength, yet still managed to shatter the Testing Stele!
Such a peerless Heavenly Talent, not only was her strength astonishing, but she was also incredibly humble.
At this moment, Xia Caiyan’s face turned green, then white, like a dye vat had been overturned in a dye shop—she wished she could disappear!
“Whew!”
Across from Ruo Ximeng, the Yuntian Palace Attendant let out a long breath, then respectfully cupped his hands toward Su Chen, smiling as he spoke.
“Honored guests, please follow me. I, Yan Attendant, will escort you both to the Qingyou Grand Competition venue.”
The status of a Yuntian Palace Attendant was lofty—only truly monstrous Heavenly Talents had the right to be personally invited into Yuntian Palace by an attendant!
Within Yuntian Palace, purple mist swirled and celestial music drifted faintly. From time to time, flocks of immortal cranes soared gracefully overhead.
Palatial towers and grand halls were everywhere, exuding majesty and grandeur. The entire Yuntian Palace radiated an air of boundless splendor.
After leading Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng inside, since Su Chen wanted to explore the palace with Ruo Ximeng, Yan Attendant took his leave with a smile.
‘Host, how is this girl’s physical strength so terrifying?’
At this moment, the Imperial Teacher System still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
Long ago, it had labeled Ruo Ximeng as a Trash who couldn’t cultivate. Yet now, this so-called Trash had utterly crushed all the Heavenly Talents on the square. It was simply unbelievable!
‘What’s so surprising? Back when I was cultivating, my roar could shatter mountains and rivers, my punch could freeze seas and split the earth. Compared to that, this is nothing.’
‘Breaking a stone stele is no big deal.’
Su Chen spoke as if it were only natural. He had been a bit surprised at first, but when he compared it to himself, he realized it was perfectly normal for Ximeng to reach this level.
Hearing Su Chen’s words, the Imperial Teacher System was speechless. Was that really a fair comparison?
But Su Chen had no intention of arguing with the Imperial Teacher System. He had noticed a problem.
Namely, Ruo Ximeng had been acting far too harmless. That wouldn’t do—she’d surely get bullied this way.
“Ximeng, when you’re out in the world, act a bit fiercer. That way, people won’t try to bully you, understand?”
Su Chen reached out and gently patted Ruo Ximeng’s little head, speaking softly.
Hearing Su Chen’s words, Ruo Ximeng seemed to understand.
She tilted her head in thought, then nodded.
“Tiger Roars at the Mountain! Awuuuu!”
Under Su Chen’s dumbfounded gaze, Ruo Ximeng puffed up her cheeks and did her best to look fierce.
Seeing Su Chen’s expression, Ruo Ximeng wasn’t sure if she’d managed to look super fierce this time—probably, right?
“Ximeng, that’s not quite it.”
“Oh, oh, Master, let me try again.”
“Awuu, awuu, am I super fierce now?”
Looking at Ruo Ximeng’s adorable little act, Su Chen could only give up. This girl only knew how to act cute, not fierce at all.
However, Su Chen’s gaze swept over Ruo Ximeng’s angelic face and childish figure below, and he nodded slightly. If she couldn’t be fierce, then being “chest fierce” was fine too.
“Master, it looks like someone over there is being bullied.”
Just then, Ruo Ximeng suddenly pointed in a direction.
Su Chen followed her gaze and saw a tall, beautiful young woman being surrounded and bullied by a group.
Whether it was because they had the numbers or because the young woman was too timid, she wasn’t even trying to fight back.
“Stop!”
With a casual glance, Su Chen spoke offhandedly.
“Hmm? Who are you?”
In the crowd, a young cultivator wearing a fan-patterned crown and luxurious robes looked over, his face darkening as he stared at Su Chen.
Seeing that Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng were about to meddle, his gaze immediately turned hostile.
“We’re upholding justice here—who are you to interfere?”
“If you dare utter another word…”
Before the youth in fine robes could finish his threat, he suddenly felt his body grow light.
It turned out that Su Chen had already seized him by the throat from afar and lifted him up.
Before he even understood what was happening, Su Chen tossed him aside like he was throwing out the trash.
“Qin Senior Brother!”
The people nearby were shocked to the core. Their strongest member was Qin Senior Brother.
But in front of Su Chen, Qin Senior Brother didn’t even have a chance to fight back—he was tossed out like garbage.
At this point, the rest of them didn’t dare linger. They scattered like frightened birds and beasts.
After Su Chen scared them off, the timid girl who had just been bullied was still a bit nervous and frightened, looking pitiful and delicate.
“Sigh! That person is a Mo Sect Demoness—you’re helping evil here.”
But just then, a passing cultivator suddenly spoke up.
