Chapter 218: Thunder Ball
The pill Shui took was a forced enhancer that increased her level for a short period of time. It was the kind of medicine people normally reserved for life or death situations. They used it judiciously because it inflicted a great deal of physical damage to the body once the enhancement wore off.
Shui actually used the pill for such a minor match.
The face of the Qui members changed. They thought she’d just use some high-level scrolls and offensive spells. None of them thought she would dare use the pill. Didn’t she know it took over a year and a half of rest to recover after using it.
Bai regretted not speaking out more and stopping her from continuing. But since she took the pill, he was sure she would get the upper hand.
No one believed Feng Wu, who had only recently gained abilities, would have the strength to go against the advanced Shui.
Those watching had labelled Feng Wu the loser of the match.
But it wasn’t going to go the way everyone thought. Feng Wu wasn’t afraid. Shui had grown stronger, quickly rising 17 levels instantly, but it was only one realm higher[notes] than her previous strength.
She went from a junior magician and sword user to a senior magician and sword user. If Feng Wu was just a junior sword user then it would have been impossible for her to resist. But Feng Wu wasn’t a junior.
Shui’s wounded arm healed and her strength went up multiple levels. She glared at Feng Wu with murder in her eyes.
“Feng Wu! Take this!” Shui attacked. Her sword technique was like a tight weave without a single hole to exploit.
The attack would have left Feng Wu disfigured if she didn’t die from it.
“So young and yet so vicious. Tian’er, in the future make sure you don’t take this kind of person for a wife.” Madam Lan involuntarily cried out. She did not like Shui’s style of attack at all.
Tian: … I didn’t even say anything.
Clang! The two swords clashed. Feng Wu blocked successfully.
“Liquid Arrows!” Shui’s level was high enough that she could cast simple spells in seconds.
Shui’s water archery became advanced from the pill’s effect. Anyone hit by the arrows would turn into a fishnet!
Madam Lan’s cry had surprised Feng Wu.
She moved like a bird and dodged. But Shui’s attack was relentless.
Feng Wu kept evading, those she couldn’t avoid were batted away with her sword. Even after several minutes of intense fighting, Shui still failed to gain an advantage.
She couldn’t hurt a single finger on Feng Wu. She was thrown off-balance and her mood became unstable.
She couldn’t hurt Feng Wu with magic so she switched to using a sword for close combat. She resorted to using sword aura to suppress Feng Wu. Her techniques became more and more advanced as she moved; her body emitted a powerful sword aura as she did.
This improvement was a direct result of the pill. Despite this, she still couldn’t bridge the distance between her and Feng Wu.
The world of Yuehua mountain that Feng Wu came from was filled with sword masters, and her master was that world’s number one sword master. The number of sword techniques Feng Wu learned from her master would have blown Shui’s mind.
Feng Wu used the same level of skill to counterattack. She sealed all of Shui’s attacks. Shui couldn’t get the upper hand despite her increase in dual-cultivation level.
They fought on equal footing. Sparks flew as their swords clashed; the sound of metal on metal echoed across the field. josei
Shui couldn’t hit Feng Wu no matter what she did. Her anger overwhelmed her heart and destroyed her sense of reason. Darkness clouded her eyes and she took out a black sphere.
The aura from the sphere made everyone’s heart speed up.
Danger!
“Thunder ball! How can you have something like that!” Bai yelled out. The indifferent expression he had before disappeared. His face turned as white as paper.
Madam Qui was shocked at what she was seeing. She wanted Madam Lan to watch her daughter be humiliated but she never thought of killing Feng Wu!
Even if Feng Wu wasn’t worthy of respect she was still a main daughter of Feng house. Knowing her father-in-law’s temper, she knew he would kill Shui if Shui killed Feng Wu. Even if Shui was fortunate enough to escape death, he would with 100% certainty destroy her cultivation. She would live the rest of her life without cultivation; she would be a waste!
Bing broke out in a cold sweat as soon as Little Thunder came out. Even if Shui managed to kill Feng Wu, she wouldn’t escape unscathed. If she herself didn’t die from the explosion, she would end up crippled. The damage she inflicted on her opponent would be nearly the same amount as the damage she would inflict on herself!
Even if she failed to get back at Feng Wu this time, there would have been more opportunities in the future. How could Shui not think of this? How stupid could she be?
Bing scolded her little sister for being a fool. She was willing to help her sister get revenge, but instead of using her help, Shui decided to jump headfirst and kill herself. Stupid!
The expression of the three boys, Ning Fei, Lu Zhong, and Jin Li also changed. This little ball was enough to blow up an entire mansion. Using thunder ball, wasn’t this Shui trying to kill Feng Wu?!
No matter how much they disliked Feng Wu, they recognized that she was a Feng member. They sniped at her and did a lot of trash talking, but they would never resort to killing her!
They understood if Feng Wu died under their hands, it would no longer be a quarrel between juniors, but a war between houses. Even if they had guts a thousand times over, they wouldn’t dare!
Didn’t Shui understand this?
She did. Initially she had only planned on cutting off Feng Wu’s hand, but the culmination of everything clouded her judgment. It had started with the cut, but when she couldn’t touch Feng Wu even after taking the enhancement pill, something in her heart shifted. It screamed at her. She wanted to kill Feng Wu! She wanted to kill Feng Wu! She wanted to kill Feng Wu! She would be a joke if she couldn’t kill Feng Wu today!
