Chapter 1948: I Love It! I Love It!
"My father gave me this sword when I was a child, and it was my first training sword. I stopped using it long ago, but it's still extremely precious to me. It's the first present my father gave to me and also my first sword. I'm sorry for giving you such a crude ring, but I..."
Xu Lizhi instantly stepped forward and thrust his chubby hand toward Ye Xinglan. "I love it! I love it!"
Ye Xinglan couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Xu Lizhi's urgent display.
She very rarely smiled, but this smile was like a blooming spring flower that filled the entire drill ground with a sense of warmth.
After putting on the ring, Xu Lizhi couldn't help but chortle with glee, and for the first time, he embraced Ye Xinglan in a relatively aggressive manner.
His embrace was warm and secure, and Ye Xinglan also burst into laughter as she wound her arms tightly around his waist.
All of a sudden, soul power erupted out of Xu Lizhi's body, and he flew up into the sky with Ye Xinglan in his arms, exiting the drill grounds in the blink of an eye.
Beside the Sea God's Lake.
Xie Xie was appraising the placid water in front of him with strong anxiety flashing in his eyes. Right at this moment, a familiar aura appeared behind him, and he hurriedly turned around.
Yuanen Yehui wore a perplexed look as she asked, "Why did you call me out here this early in the morning?"
Xie Xie gritted his teeth before replying, "Yuanen, I'm issuing a challenge to you!"
Yuanen Yehui faltered slightly before making her way over to him and laying a hand onto his forehead. "Do you have a fever or did you have too much to eat?"
Xie Xie immediately flared up with indignation. "I'm neither of those things!"
Yuanen Yehui chuckled, "Then why are you asking for a beating?"
"How do you know I can't beat you?" Xie Xie protested.
Yuanen Yehui shrugged in response. "Surely you know your place at this point."
Xie Xie became even more enraged. "I won't accept my fate! Come on then, beat me if you can!"
"I'll take that as an invitation!" Yuanen Yehui said with a smile as she rushed toward Xie Xie.
She was far too familiar with Xie Xie's strengths; Xie Xie was extremely fast, so she couldn't allow him to get going.
Ever since her mother had been avenged and she had returned to the Yuanen Family, Yuanen Yehui's personality had become a lot more open and cheerful.
However, Yuanen Tiandang had only just gotten her daughter back, and he cherished her more than anything, so he was naturally very much disapproving of his future son-in-law. He had picked on Xie Xie through all types of different methods, and Xie Xie was thoroughly suffering as a result. However, Yuanen Tiandang made sure to only pick on him when Yuanen Yehui wasn't around him, and he was too embarrassed to tell Yuanen Yehui about what was going on.
In the face of the oncoming Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie's body immediately took on an illusory appearance. Just as Yuanen Yehui was extremely familiar with him, he was also very well versed with Yuanen Yehui's arsenal.
Yuanen Yehui yelled, "Let's go up to the sky."
Even without a reminder from Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie was already rising up into the air to avoid causing damage to the bank of the Sea God's Lake.
Yuanen Yehui was right behind him, and the two of them were high up in the sky in the blink of an eye.
Xie Xie twisted around in mid-air, and his Light Dragon Dagger appeared in his hand. Immediately thereafter, he conjured up six projections of himself, all of which attacked Yuanen Yehui from different angles.
The Light Dragon Dagger was imbued with an aura of light and sharpness, and the light that was emanating from it was constantly flashing unsteadily, making it very difficult to predict the dagger's trajectory.
Following the evolution of Xie Xie's martial soul into the Space Time Dragon, the most formidable thing about him was his unpredictable nature.
The fact that Xie Xie was pulling out his signature ability from the get-go indicated to Yuanen Yehui that he was serious, and she certainly wasn't going to back down.
She stomped her left foot down onto the air, and a resounding boom rang out as massive waves of rippling light surged outward, making it appear as if the surrounding air had reached a boiling point.
In terms of abundance of soul power, Yuanen Yehui's twin martial souls meant that she was inferior only to Tang Wulin among Shreks Seven Monsters.
The entire sky trembled in the wake of her stomp, and the six projections that Xie Xie had conjured up immediately slowed down significantly as if they had rushed into a swamp.
Yuanen Yehui threw a punch forward, and all of the warped air instantly surged toward her, restricting a massive area around her body.
Instead of aiming her punch at any of the six Xie Xies, she had directed her attack at the empty air, but even so, all six of Xie Xie's projections were forcibly drawn toward her by her punch.
This was the power of the Divine Titan Fists!
Furthermore, Yuanen Yehui's Divine Titan Fists was combined with her Divine Cloudvortex Fists, and their power was absolutely devastating; this was why she had absolute confidence whenever she faced Xie Xie in battle.
Regardless of how fast Xie Xie was, it was pointless in the face of her absolute strength and particularly her ability to restrict large areas of space.
She never used her Fallen Angel martial soul against Xie Xie as her Titan Giant Ape was by far the better counter.
However, right at this moment, the six Xie Xies suddenly began to fade in unison, and all of them quickly disappeared, while Xie Xie's true body was still nowhere to be seen.
Thus, Yuanen Yehui's attack abruptly lost its target, and that was quite a jarring feeling, as if she had just launched a full-force attack into a pile of feathers.
Furthermore, this came as quite a shock to her. Never had anyone been able to forcibly struggle free from her Divine Titan Fists during battle, and generally speaking, anyone caught up in the attack would be forced to fight fire with fire.
Even if her opponent possessed teleportation abilities, there was no way for them to unleash such abilities within her restricted space.
It was clear that Xie Xie was improving just as she had been, and he had transitioned between his powers of space and time perfectly to escape from this attack.
At this moment, Xie Xie's true body was situated in the air behind and slightly above Yuanen Yehui, and there was a cold look in his eyes. He was in a very calm and placid state, and all of a sudden, he descended from above as a blurry shadow.
During his descent, his body flashed seven times in rapid succession, and with each flash, he would phase out of this patch of space before returning.
Thus, through her immense spiritual power, Yuanen Yehui was able to sense that Xie Xie was attacking her from behind, but in her mind's eye, it was as if seven people had suddenly appeared behind her, all of whom were attacking her from different directions.
Ultimately, her speed was inferior to Xie Xie's, and it was definitely extremely dangerous for her to have her back facing such an attack. However, she didn't even have the time to turn around.
It was in this instant that Yuanen Yehui displayed her formidable power. Instead of attempting to turn around, she let loose a long roar, and her body instantly began to expand, swelling to over 100 feet tall in the blink of an eye.
A burst of tremendous force erupted out of her entire body, concentrating on her back before erupting backward.
At the same time, a rapidly revolving vortex of energy appeared behind her, and Xie Xie was immediately diverted off his original course by the suction force released by the vortex.
Furthermore, due to the fact that Yuanen Yehui's body had expanded significantly, the area that he was originally targeting with his attack had changed.
However, right at this moment, Xie Xie's eyes lit up, one black and one white, and his eighth soul ring began to glow.
He took a step forward, and the seven afterimages left behind by his spatial phasing suddenly took on a substantial form.
They were still attacking Yuanen Yehui, but his true body had disappeared without a trace.
This was his Space Time Travel!
Yuanen Yehui felt a sharp pain on her back, but she still rammed straight into the attacks that were coming at her from behind, forcing back the seven Xie Xies.
Just as she was about to turn around and put an end to this battle, an overwhelming sense of peril suddenly welled up in her heart without any warning, striking her with a sense of panic.
