Chapter 1525 - Twilight Physician Hall's Top Disciple

"Hmph!"

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il simply harrumphed and flicked his sleeves as he sat down in mid-air.

Brim Hisler looked at Sophie Alstreim as his brows narrowed.

"Just because you think you have reached Law Dominion Stage, you can challenge me? Ridiculous...! Even your family’s best Nora Alstreim isn’t my opponent!"

He hissed as if he was deeply offended by the Alstreim Family assigning a woman to battle him. However, he smirked and commented.

"It seems like the Alstreim Family’s men are too scared to battle that they send off their women to fight their battles..."

"Ahahaha!"

The crowd burst into a fit of laughter while the Alstreim Family youths and elders felt their faces burn.

However, on the battle platform, Sophie’s expression froze.

The small nervousness she had in her heart also disappeared with this insult. Only a cold light remained in her purple eyes that seethed with a bit of killing intent against this Brim Hisler.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim appeared worried for his granddaughter. He couldn’t understand why Davis would send her when she was weak with her ability to go on offense. He knew this because Sophie concentrated on support professions like blacksmithing and alchemy from a young age.

How could her battle skills be high? How could it be possible for her to match a top disciple of another power?

On the other hand, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, who acted as the referee, looked at Davis and confirmed that he was absolutely calm despite sending one of his women to battle. After all this time of being swung around like a twig, he knew better not to underestimate this brat’s schemes and strength.

Just before he could raise his voice to echo the start of the match, a melodious yet cold voice interrupted.

"What does that mean, Brim Hisler? Are you telling us that we maidens can’t protect ourselves?"

Sect Master Bing Luli’s voice echoed.

Brim Hisler practically felt his heart skip a beat as Sect Master Bing Luli targeted him. He wanted to forcefully answer, but he found himself at a loss, opening and closing his mouth as if he was a clown from the sheer icy pressure he faced.

"Yes, without the gracious support of the Four Righteous Sects, you would not be able to protect yourselves as an exclusive power."

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il’s voice echoed, considerably lessening the pressure on Brim Hisler. Hearing his words, Sect Master Bing Luli was just about to retort, but he continued.

"Tell me, is there any kind of female-only sect in the wicked path? No. Why? Because they can’t protect themselves. The same way, without the Four Great Righteous Sects, you female-only sects truly can’t protect yourselves. Like it or not, you need to become the strongest, or you need a man who is willing to give up his life to protect you."

"Luli’er, you know that’s reality, so don’t bother fighting against it just because you don’t like it. Instead, become the strongest, as he said, and shut up their mouths. Getting to the peak of the cultivation world should be your focus."

Sect Master Bing Luli blinked before she agreed.

"Yes, Ancestor Xia Yun."

"Hehe, peak? If you could reach that, then your power wouldn’t have been a Small-Sized Territorries’s Hegemon. The moment you step out of your power to strengthen yourself is when you will meet your tragic demise or come under a man’s rule. Your three Ancestors understood that, and that’s why they failed to go out and strengthen themselves even after they lived for a long period of time."

Sect Master Bing Luli didn’t reply. She ignored him as if she had regained her complete composure.

Ancestor Xia Yun nodded her head in approval for Bing Luli’s silence.

The people who were expecting a drama were let down, but instead, they looked forward to the battle as there was going to be another drama after this woman called Sophie is going to be defeated in an instant. They sneered as they waited for the result.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim looked around and made sure no one wanted to open their mouths again. He raised his hands and swung vertically.

"Let the match begin!"

Sophie readied herself as she posed, but she didn’t do anything

Brim Hisler felt like he had been made a fool from his previous display of being unable to answer that question. His expression slightly contorted in humiliation, but when he heard the referee’s voice, he took a blood-red spear out of his spatial ring.

Low-Level King Grade undulations spread from his spear and matched with his Low-Level Law Dominion Stage undulations!

"I apologize beforehand if I hurt you, young lady. Today, I think I won’t be able to hold back."

"Of course, you had just been humiliated. I think it’s understandable."

Sophie made it clear with her words as she smirked, causing Brim Hisler’s expression to twist.

"I take that apology back. Do you know what our Twilight Physician Hall excels at?"

"Healing people?"

"Indeed, we excel at healing people, but that also means that we know where to strike the human body to make their injuries fatal, resulting in their death when it would be nothing more than a small wound."

*Vring!~~~*

Sophie was also caught at the edge of it. She looked at the scale and confirmed that it was a domain with a kilometer radius, making it an Impeccable Domain, the third-tier of domains. As soon as the light covered her, she noticed a peculiarity in her body.

"Ahahaha! You noticed!? My suppression-type domain suppresses all your meridians, making it so that you would find it hard to be able to circulate your essence energy and even martial energy. Do you now know how terrifying I am and why am I a top disciple while you’re a lowly core disciple? This is the reason. As soon as my attack lands on you, you’re finished! Now surrender before you get hurt!"

*Whoosh!~*

Brim Hisler’s figure flashed with white light. It instantly became evident that he trained in Light Laws. The next moment, he instantaneously appeared before her, plunging his blood-red spear towards her shoulders.

At the same time, Sophie’s hands surged with essence energy as she created a fiery polearm and a single-edged blade. She manifested a glaive out of her flaming essence energy and struck the blood-red spear.

*Crack!~*

The blood-red spear shattered like it was a wooden spear, causing Brim Hisler’s eyes to go wide when a kick abruptly appeared to his face.

*Bang!~*

Flames caught on to his face while he was sent flying like footwear. His expression contorted while disbelief was still written over his face, wondering how this woman could use her essence energy to that level when he blatantly suppressed her as if suppressing her with his soul.

"Watch out!"

Just when he realized it was his Ancestor’s voice, he felt a piercing pain over his shoulder.

*Puchi!~*

The flaming glaive pierced into his shoulder, hammering him down on the battle platform. However, the flaming glaive could not pierce through the Emperor Grade Platform but grazed the floor and flipped, which ultimately split open his shoulder into a blood fountain.

But before the blood could even splash on the white surface of the battle platform, it quickly evaporated from the searing heat of her flames.

Brim Hisler clenched his teeth as he felt intense searing and splitting pain over his shoulder. The flames practically burned his wounds in an instant, making him want to scream atop of his lungs. However, he did not scream like a pig being slaughtered, much less raise his voice.

He laid down, looking at another flaming glaive pointed towards his forehead as his pupils trembled in fear and incredulity.

"What did you say? ’As soon as my attack lands on you, you’re finished!’ was it? Well, you don’t even have such a chance. Now surrender before you get really hurt~"

Sophie held a newly conjured flaming glaive at him while her expression was indifferent as she repeated his words, looking like she was about to make him swallow his own words.

The crowd stood up in shock as they looked at the scene in incredulity.

She defeated him without even using a domain!? Just how was that possible!?

Ancestor Kain Bloodlife had a mortified look on his face and almost stood up. He never expected his top disciple to lose on the first round, much less the first exchange!

Furthermore, Brim Hisler was the strongest disciple he had in his power, so he couldn’t understand how he could lose like this to a mere core disciple-level character!

It was an utter disgrace to his face and his power, the Twilight Physician Hall!
