Chapter 134 - Admitting Defeat (1/2)
'If I don't destroy a Training Puppet today, it won't just affect my reputation but also my family! I cannot let that happen no matter what! Not even if I have to sacrifice all of my faces!' Min Li thought to herself.
A moment later, she took a deep breath before taking a unique stance.
When the other disciples saw this and recognized her stance, they immediately shouted with excitement.
”That's the Min Family's most powerful technique— a Divine-rank technique!”
”What?! She's going from a Mortal-rank technique to a Divine-rank technique?! Does she want to destroy that Training Puppet so badly?”
”Well, think about it as though you are in her shoes. She was the one who decided to challenge that disciple who'd manage to destroy the Training Puppet. If she loses, it'll affect her reputation alongside her family's reputation, and you know how much the Seven Legacy Families values their reputation!”
”But that disciple used a Mortal-rank technique… and it was even the Flying Daggers technique that is known for being weak! If she uses a Divine-rank technique, wouldn't that be cheating and count as her loss regardless?”
”Well, yeah, but at least she will save some face for destroying the Training Puppet.”
While the disciples mumbled to each other, Min Li focused on her next and final attack, even picking a new Training Puppet that did not have any cracks to make it a little bit fairer.
'This will definitely make me lose face, but at least I will destroy the Training Puppet!'
With that in mind, Min Li took a step forward, causing the ground to tremble a little, and she swung the sword in her hands that radiated with a profound aura.
”HAAAAAAAAH!”
Min Li shouted at the top of her lungs, attempting to force every ounce of strength in her body out with her voice.
BOOOOM!
An explosion occurred upon impact, and the Training Puppet was sent flying like a shooting star, crashing into many other Training Puppets.
”Heavens…”
The other disciples' jaw dropped to the ground when they witnessed the destructive power of the Divine-rank technique. There was simply no way the Training Puppet would be able to move again after being hit by such a powerful strike!
”Haaa… haaa… haaaa… Did I… destroy it…?”
Min Li kneeled on the ground with an exhausted expression on her face while panting heavily.
The Divine-rank technique had exhausted pretty much all of her spiritual energy, making something as easy as standing a difficult task for her.
The other disciples also watched with nervous expressions, their gazes all staring at the mountain of Training Puppets that had piled up after the Min Li's attack.
A few moments later, the Training Puppets began moving once again and slowly returned to their original spots.
However, the disciples and Min Li didn't care about the other Training Puppets— only the one that she'd struck.
Two minutes later, they could finally see the Training Puppet that Min Li attacked.
”I-Impossible…” Min Li mumbled with clear disbelief on her face as the Training Puppet that she'd struck slowly approached her with a long and deep cut on its chest, feeling quite intimidating for some reason.
