âFair Maidenâs Graceful Kick!â
Suzaku immediately gave him a harsh attack.
A loud explosion filled the air as talismans formed around her long leg, kicking Alex right on the chest
This scene looked violent yet beautiful, scaring Winniefred so much that she closed her eyes and
yelled, âWatch out, papa!â
âWhat?â
âThat little girl is his daughter?â
âDoesnât that mean that Zella is his wife?â
Within the four princesses, Seiryuu and Byakko still remembered clearly what Alex had done to them,
hence they held grudges against him as well.
Zella, however, had been training in the Fair Maidenâs Sutra under Aunt Rockefellerâs guidance. They
managed to practice the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, which required everyone to connect both
mind and soul. Hence, it was normal that they treated each other like sisters.
âHow are we going to keep spending time with each other after this?â
Dum!!!
A loud thud echoed through the air as yellow light shone from Alexâs body. He took the hit with ease.
Alex could tell that his powers hadnât decreased even Maya had sucked him dry. On the contrary, it
appeared that the spiritual energy and electric elemental powers within him were even more
concentrated than before, as if wholly renewed. Moreover, his defense, the Mystic Armor, was way
stronger than before.
He couldnât help but feel grateful. âLooks like being sucked dry is still beneficial for me! Mayaâs
bloodline is just so strong. If I have a stronger body and stamina, wouldnât my powers become stronger
if I did it with her every day?â
However, spiritual stones depleted way too quickly, and neither did he have many of them.
âSecond move, Fair Maidenâs Storm Fist!â
Suzaku immediately launched a second attack after the first didnât work. Just now, she had only used
half her power, but now, she exerted eight percent of it.
Bish! Bish! Bish!
Without any warning, she punched him three times in a row.
The light of the Mystic Armor continued to shine through Alexâs body, but it wasnât broken at all.
âNow this is getting interesting!â
âIf you really want me to wash your feet, youâd need more power than that!â Alex said.
Suzaku frowned. She didnât expect his defense to be this strong. She thought that she was ten times
stronger than before.
Back then, she was just a mere Mystic rank fighter. However, after coming here, Aunt Rockefeller told
them that fighters were no different from ordinary people. If one didnât start their journey in cultivation,
all their powers were just mere tricks without forming a base core to train.
Currently, she had surpassed many stages and formed her base core, becoming a true cultivator. Her
current cultivation was at Spirit Transcendence level as well.
However, she didnât know that Alex was at Core Formation now. Hence their powers were at a
significant difference.
Alex, on the other hand, naturally noticed that Suzaku was at Spirit Transcendence, but her attacks
were slightly stronger than usual Spirit Transcendence cultivators.
This was obviously thanks to the Fair Maiden Heart Sutra.
After the second attack, Suzaku realized a gap between them after she was unable to break Alexâs
defense. Suzakuâs face turned pale as she asked, âWhich stage in cultivation are you at?â
âI just passed the Core Formation tribulation a while ago,â replied Alex.
Pondering, Suzaku realized that there were two big stages and six little stage gaps between them.
Besides, upgrading from Divine Transcendence to Core Formation was an extremely hard challenge.
Core Formation was the stage where one could truly start their journey in cultivation within the
cultivation world. Many ended up stuck at Divine Transcendence among cultivators, and even more
had died during the lightning tribulation.
Eight out of ten people werenât strong enough to survive it.
Dorothy spoke up. âDonât beat yourself up. You have a large gap between you, to boot. Unless the
eight of you team up and use the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, you wouldnât be able to break his
little turtle shell.â
âI donât think eight Divine Transcendences would be able to break my defense even if they teamed up,â
Alex questioned.
âNumbers ainât the problem⦠Itâs the gap between our cultivation powers.â
âDo you want to bet on it?â Dorothy asked. âIâm sure that they could break your defense if they teamed
up.â
Alex asked, âWhat shall we bet on then?â
Seiryuu said, âIf you lose, you have to wash all of our feet.â
