Chapter 115: Jiang Tian, You Are So Brave
Xue Ruyan's thrust was still incredibly fast, her entire body engulfed in bloody flames.
Although Ye Linfang had anticipated the attack, the speed and angle of the spear exceeded her expectations.
---
"Oh!"
As Ye Linfang let out a low shout, the blood in her body surged outward, forming a blood-colored barrier in front of her.
Not only that, but she stretched out her hand, and the swords from the weapon rack in the martial arts arena flew into the air.
Ye Linfang's profession was Mind Master, and she was not skilled in close combat.
---
Whoosh!
The sound of blades slicing through the air filled the arena, and the floating swords under Ye Linfang's control lunged at Xue Ruyan from both sides.
But Xue Ruyan remained calm, her expression composed.
She paused for a moment before swinging her spear to the left and right.
---
Ding! Ding!
The clash of metal rang out as the swords were deflected mid-air, bouncing away.
---
At that very moment, Xue Ruyan's spear followed the momentum and slashed forward, aiming at Ye Linfang's chest.
The whistling sound of the wind accompanied the spear, carrying immense force and momentum.
---
At the same time, the two deflected swords suddenly reversed direction, dragged back by blood-colored energy, and attacked Ye Linfang from both sides.
---
"Do the same!"
Ye Linfang clasped her hands together, and a blood-colored barrier expanded outward.
The two swords hit the barrier but failed to penetrate it.
---
Boom!!!
Xue Ruyan's powerful thrust landed solidly against the barrier.
A resounding collision echoed throughout the martial arts arena.
The force of impact created a shockwave, making Xue Tanxin's white hair flutter from the sidelines.
---
Crack!
The barrier cracked, but it did not break completely.
However, in the next instant, the blood barrier shattered on its own, transforming into sharp blood-colored blades that shot outward in all directions.
---
Xue Ruyan remained composed, spinning her spear rapidly.
Ding ding ding!
The crisp sound of deflection echoed as the bloody shards were knocked away one by one.
---
After blocking the attack, Xue Ruyan suddenly stopped the spinning motion and threw her spear forward.
---
Whoosh!
The spear cut through the air like a blood-red arrow, flying straight at Ye Linfang.
---
The unexpected maneuver caught Ye Linfang off guard.
By the time she attempted to gather her blood energy to form a defense, it was already too late.
The barrier she hastily formed was instantly shattered by the spear.
---
At that moment, Ye Linfang also noticed something strange—
At the end of the spear, there was a flaming blood-red rope, connecting it directly to Xue Ruyan's hand.
---
The moment the spear pierced the barrier, Xue Ruyan rushed forward.
As soon as the spear shattered the defense, Xue Ruyan yanked it back into her grip and slashed at Ye Linfang once again.
---
But old ginger is still spicier!
This attack was still blocked by the long, blood-red chain that emerged from Ye Linfang's hands.
---
Crash…
The sound of chains tightening echoed as Ye Linfang's blood energy condensed, forming a blood-colored chain that wrapped around Xue Ruyan's spear.
---
But Xue Ruyan's spear suddenly burned with flames, and with a sharp twist, the chains shattered.
---
Ye Linfang and Xue Ruyan continued their intense duel.
Their battle raged on, both exchanging blows with unrelenting intensity.
---
Finally, after thirty minutes of combat, Xue Ruyan was exhausted.
Her spear was knocked out of her hands and sent flying.
---
"Hah!"
Xue Ruyan let out a long breath, her body covered in sweat.
Her forehead and face were damp, her long hair sticking to her skin.
---
"Grandma is still too strong, I can't win."
She shook her head, feeling a mix of frustration and admiration.
---
But after she spoke, she noticed something strange—
Ye Linfang was silent, staring at her with a complicated expression.
She turned to look at Xue Tanxin, who also had a serious look on his face.
---
"Did I do something wrong?"
Xue Ruyan asked, confused.
---
Ye Linfang was silent for a moment, then said:
"With your current performance, you could already qualify for the Xinhuo Bureau."
"In fact, considering your progress, it wouldn't be impossible to place you in the top tier."
---
When Ye Linfang mentioned this, she couldn't help but add:
"After your first move, I already increased my strength to Level 2."
"And as we continued, I gradually raised my level to the peak of Level 2."
---
Xue Tanxin also spoke up:
"Your strength is much greater than we imagined. It's simply unbelievable."
"It's already shocking that Jiang Tian is such a monster, but to think that just by following him, you've been trained to this level?"
---
"To give you an intuitive example—if this were the first stage, you would now be on par with your sister."
---
Xue Ruyan froze, her breath hitching.
---
Her sister has always been an insurmountable mountain, a goal she could never reach.
---
But now, her grandfather was saying she had caught up?
---
Her voice trembled:
"Really?"
She was worried that her grandfather was only trying to comfort her.
---
"I'm so happy for you."
Ye Linfang approached her with a smile, gently stroking her head.
---
The couple knew their granddaughter's talent well.
She had always improved with each battle, but fully unlocking her potential was another matter entirely.
But in Jiang Tian's hands, Xue Ruyan had perfectly utilized her talent.
---
Jiang Tian's absurd strength provided her with a stable combat environment.
His food helped her recover, doubled her training efficiency, and even enhanced her abilities.
They complemented each other perfectly.
---
For the first time, Xue Ruyan felt proud.
---
She returned to her room, took a shower, and changed into her pajamas.
Then she picked up her phone and sent Jiang Tian a message.
She wanted to share the good news.
And thank him.
---
But after sending the message, there was no reply.
It was like a stone sinking into the sea.
---
"Strange…"
She shrugged it off and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.
If Jiang Tian wasn't replying, it meant he was busy training too.
She couldn't waste time either.
---
Meanwhile…
At Jiang Tian's house, he was indeed busy.
But not with training.
---
He was teaching someone how to cook.
---
Beside him, a handsome old man with a ponytail, sunglasses, and a Hawaiian shirt was struggling with a fish.
Jiang Tian sighed.
---
"You... are too stupid."
He looked at the chopping board—a complete mess.
---
Zhou Shang's face paled as he waved his hands frantically.
---
"Jiang Tian, have mercy!!!"
