Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

But judging from Ye Yuchan's appearance, she probably won't accept him as her lackey, right?

Thinking of this, Xing Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly heard a familiar sound.

It was the deep, somewhat excited voice of a male cultivator.

"I need to change my tune now; I really do like you."

"!!!"

Ye Yuchan and Xing Xiaobai turned around in surprise at the same time!

In Xing Xiaobai's eyes, he only saw a flash of lightning fly past him. By the time he reacted, Liu Kaige had appeared in front of Ye Yuchan without him noticing. His big, thick hands were tightly gripping the girl's delicate neck, lifting her into the air.

At this moment, her trachea was compressed to the point where she could barely breathe. Ye Yuchan struggled to grab Liu Kaige's hands with both of hers, trying to pry them open.

However, the latter's strength was far greater than her own. Ye Yuchan knew that this was because Liu Kaige was a pure body cultivator, which could be seen from the fact that he did not summon any magical artifacts from the very beginning.

In terms of strength, he was no match for Liu Kaige.

But why?!

Ye Yuchan didn't understand.

That kick should have shattered Liu Kaige's ribs and possibly damaged his meridians. After all, it was her full-force attack, and she even used the Heavenly Barrier Divine Lightning contained within her Little Heavenly Thunder Body.

Even if Ye Yuchan kicked Liu Kaige to death, she wouldn't be surprised, but right now, Liu Kaige doesn't have a single scratch on his body!

"Hehe, miss, are you wondering why I'm not injured?"

As if sensing Ye Yuchan's confusion and shock, Liu Kaige smiled arrogantly and tore open the long robe on his chest, which was stained black.

sizzle-

The golden light was dazzling.

Ye Yuchan stared in astonishment at the charred gold armor on Liu Kaige's chest, which had been burned black by lightning, her teeth clenched tightly.

"A magical artifact... huh..."

"Yes, it is a protective magic artifact of my Liu family. Theoretically speaking, it can withstand a direct attack from a peak cultivator in the Transformation Peak stage. If it weren't for this magic artifact, I would probably be dead by now."

With his right hand gripping Ye Yuchan's neck, he tapped the nearly broken armor on his chest with his left hand and exclaimed in astonishment, "It's truly astonishing... You're clearly only at the peak of the Spirit Platform stage, yet you can kick with power approaching that of the minor completion stage of the Transformation Peak. Could it be that your elemental physique is even stronger?"

"I'm becoming more and more curious about you, miss."

Liu Kaige stared intently at Ye Yuchan, a slight smile playing on his lips. A hint of contempt transformed into a unique possessiveness, and his slightly lewd gaze roamed over Ye Yuchan's delicate body.

As if quite satisfied, he seemed to have confirmed something, "Not bad, good figure, pretty face, plus I really like your personality, and you have enough strength to rival mine."

“I must take back what I said earlier, miss, I like you very much—”

"I admire your abilities, and now I admire you as a person."

……

The implication of these words was clearly that they wanted to bring Ye Yuchan into their Liu family.

Was he Liu Kaige's woman?

Ye Yuchan sneered. With someone choking her, making such a smile would only make her feel worse, but she still couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll give you a piece of advice..."

"what?"

"Keep dreaming!"

Ye Yuchan gripped Liu Kaige's hands tightly with both hands, then raised her lower body upwards, her legs coiling around Liu Kaige's thick right arm like two long snakes.

The moment you generate power from your waist, your whole body twists rapidly!

"—Ugh!"

Liu Kaige felt as if his right hand had been forcibly rotated, and the tearing pain in his muscles forced him to subconsciously loosen his grip. By the time he realized how foolish he had been, Ye Yuchan's figure had already disappeared from his hand.

next moment.

Snapped!

The snap of fingers echoed in my ears!

He paused for a moment, as if considering whether this snap of his fingers was still a futile attempt to cover up the truth.

In that fleeting moment of distraction, Ye Yuchan decisively activated Dark Heart!

Puff puff puff puff—

Layers of blood mist erupted from every orifice of Liu Kaige's body. The indescribable pain caused even this battle-hardened warrior to feel horrified. He almost instinctively knelt down, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Ye Yuchan.

"You bitch, don't you dare push your luck!"

Liu Kaige has slept with many women in his life; basically, any woman he wanted would come to him.

Ye Yuchan was the first person who truly dared to rebel against him and even escaped from his grasp.

This woman successfully ignited his anger and desire to conquer.

Arms slamming into the ground!

Liu Kaige slammed his fists against the ice, and two crimson dragons surged up his arms, which were nearly twice the size of their original size!

He's getting serious.

How could Ye Yuchan not sense the terrifying spiritual energy emanating from Liu Kaige's body? She even suspected that Liu Kaige had already touched the threshold of the Transformation Peak stage. This suppressive force of realm was faintly visible on Ye Yuchan's shoulder.

But she remained calm and took a step back, deciding at the same time to give up on facing Liu Kaige, who was now going all out as a body cultivator.

Don't forget, Ye Yuchan is not a body cultivator.

Her true form is that of an archer.

"Black Flame Arrow".

The girl's cherry lips parted slightly, her light words accompanied by fluttering ice crystals and snowflakes. In the cold wind of the icy plains, the silver-haired girl drew back the bowstring with a solemn expression, and black flames, seemingly symbolizing destruction, suddenly ignited on the silver-white spiritual energy arrow!

call out!

The arrow pierced the air!

So I Became the Holy Dragon Girl

Author: One Autumn Leaf

(That's right, it's the Battle God One Autumn Leaf!)

122. Wang Dongyang, who has an occupational disease

The black flames that pierced through the cold snowfield seemed to burn everything to ashes.

The crimson dragon, swirling in the sky and shaking the earth, was entangled with the relentless arrows. Every inch of its dragon scales was colliding fiercely with the silver-white arrows, and the bursts of spiritual energy sparks in the sky were as dazzling as fireworks.

This doesn't resemble a battle between cultivators at the Spirit Platform stage at all.

Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, thunder roars, flames rise.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and black flames surged.

Ye Yuchan had now revealed all her trump cards: Black Flame Arrow, Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body, her self-created martial arts, Dark Heart—everything she had to do. Facing Liu Kaige, the prodigy of the Extreme Heaven Domain, she had no choice but to go all out.

Liu Kaige also completely abandoned his frivolous and arrogant demeanor, even he had to admit that Ye Yuchan's strength far exceeded his expectations.

The Thunderclap Body granted him power and speed that would leave his peers speechless, but this elemental physique that terrified everyone could not make Ye Yuchan submit to it.

His combat skills, which he was so proud of, had once overwhelmed most of the cultivators in his family. However, in his previous battle with Ye Yuchan, he was repeatedly outmaneuvered by the silver-haired girl in front of him with her tricks.

Keep it?

He knew very well that if he held back any longer, he might really lose here!

Liu Kaige's pride wouldn't allow him to lose to a woman of the same caliber.

His spiritual energy surged like a raging wolf, and the dragons on his arms roared with earth-shattering cries. In his absolute prime, he charged toward the silver-haired girl who had given him a sense of impending defeat.

The two clashed again!

Arrows and iron fists, archery and physical skills, technique and strength.

The Battle of the Prodigies.

"My goodness... these two monsters are absolutely terrifying..."

Xing Xiaobai was currently huddled a hundred meters away from the center of the battlefield, trembling as he gazed at the soaring dragon in the distance and the black flame arrows that seemed to burn the void clean from time to time.

The sheer force of the raging storm erupting from the center of the battlefield sent shivers down Xing Xiaobai's spine. He had thought that Liu Kaige's earlier display of power was already formidable enough, but he never expected that Liu Kaige would have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

What surprised him even more was that this silver-haired girl, who looked good but dressed strangely, actually had the ability to fight Liu Kaige with all her might.

"Yuntian Academy..." he muttered unconsciously to this unfamiliar name. "What kind of place is this? I don't recall ever having such a powerful sect before. Could it be just some reclusive master who casually created this?"

I can't figure it out.

Xing Xiaobai knew that he absolutely could not get involved in this battle. Regardless of the outcome, with his cultivation at the entry level of the Spirit Platform stage, he estimated that his hand would be shattered before he even got involved.

Horrible, horrible.

We're all destined to be the next generation of cultivators, so why are these two so outstanding?!

boom! boom! boom!

The distant winds and explosions repeatedly shook Xing Xiaobai's heart.

He shivered a few times, not from the cold, but like a child terrified of thunder, fearing the spiritual energy waves that would erupt like bombs.

It was at this moment that he suddenly thought of—

Putting aside whether the silver-haired girl can win, even if she does, without a key player, he probably won't be able to continue surviving in this cruel place.

If Liu Kaige wins, it must have been a hard-won victory. He will probably want to find a place to hide and recover his spiritual energy. In other words, this guy probably won't need me anymore.

In other words...
