"Not bad at all." Inside the room, Wu Tian’s Spiritual Sense witnessed the scene, and he couldn’t help but smile. In this mundane city, a world where Spiritual Energy has long vanished, for the little one to grow so quickly is truly beyond my expectations. Her talent is something I’ve never seen before; perhaps only the Empress could compare. I’ve read her destiny. She is fated to become a ruthless ruler, possessing the aura of a supreme Empress.
"Are you kidding me? I have the talent of Zhang Sanfeng! There’s no way I can lose to a child!" Lu Yunsheng gritted his teeth, frantically unleashing his Inner Strength. His fists flew wildly, stirring up fierce gusts of wind that sliced across the snowy ground like knives, leaving deep marks behind.
"This isn’t fun," the little one said, shaking her head. Her tiny, chubby fist shot out as well, but at a deviously clever angle. It slipped past Lu Yunsheng’s flurry of punches, and with a leap, she smacked him squarely on the head.
"AH!" Lu Yunsheng cried out as a sharp pain lanced through his skull.
"Hey, with your mediocre talent, you’re no match for me. Go back and practice your cultivation for another five hundred years before you come looking for me again," the little one said with a sigh, placing a hand on her hip and speaking with a cocky air.
"You... you..." Lu Yunsheng was about to explode with rage. At Wudang, everyone praises my talent! And this child dares to call it mediocre? I can’t accept this! And what’s this about cultivating for another five hundred years? I don’t even know if I have fifty years left to live.
Lu Yunsheng turned to Wuyunzi, a thought striking him. "Uncle Master, you all said my genius was comparable to Zhang Sanfeng’s. Was that a lie?"
Lu Yunsheng began to doubt himself. He had always been supremely confident, believing that he would one day catch up to Zhang Sanfeng. He was convinced he had the same talent and that under his leadership, Wudang would surely flourish. Yet, he had just been defeated by a little girl. Losing to Guli Weileng was one thing, but he couldn’t even beat a child. He couldn’t accept it. His confidence was utterly shattered.
"Well..." Wuyunzi hesitated. Before, I would have told him without a second thought, ’Yunsheng, don’t doubt yourself. My brother and I are certain you have the talent of Zhang Sanfeng.’ But now, even I have my doubts. Have we been nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well? The truth is, none of us has ever seen what the talent of Zhang Sanfeng truly looks like. If Lu Yunsheng really has such talent and was still defeated by a child... doesn’t that mean Wudang’s founding ancestor was inferior to this little girl? Wuyunzi couldn’t bring himself to entertain the thought. He could no longer speak the words of reassurance, for doing so now would be an act of betrayal against his master and ancestors.
"Yunsheng, try to look at the bigger picture," Wuyunzi said, sidestepping the question.
Lu Yunsheng’s face turned ashen.
"Hey, are you two leaving or not?" the little one demanded, growing impatient as she watched Wuyunzi and Lu Yunsheng linger. When this baby gets mad, the consequences are severe!
"Uncle Master, let’s attack together! If we don’t, we’ll never get Zhang Sanfeng’s Secret Scroll! How will we bring glory to Wudang?" A thought suddenly reignited Lu Yunsheng’s spirit, and his voice filled with fervor. "For a child to be this powerful, she might have also been cultivating our ancestor Zhang Sanfeng’s Secret Scroll!"
Hearing this, Wuyunzi’s eyes lit up. If that’s true, the power of that Secret Scroll is unimaginable! Wudang could become the number one sect in the Dragon Country, or even the foremost power in the world! It’s not impossible! Who knows, in the future, the Wudang sect could be the shadow behind the Empire, its true Controller.
At this thought, Wuyunzi’s gaze hardened. "For the sake of Wudang, I am willing to sacrifice my own dignity," he declared.
Lu Yunsheng nodded, and in that instant, he and Wuyunzi attacked the little one in unison. Both employed Tai Chi, their movements perfectly coordinated. The force of their combined palms created a sharp whistling sound that was astounding to hear.
Faced with their simultaneous attack, the little one was stunned. "How can adults be so shameless?"
