Chapter 352: 325 Turning Point 1

The warm breeze fluttered through from beneath the entire clubhouse’s big tent.

Each fighting compartment under the tent had corresponding signs hung on their doors.

The signs swayed gently in the wind.

Humm.

Slowly, a piece of transparent high-strength tempered glass sealed the ceiling of the compartment where Li Chengyi and Li Chengjiu were located.

Accompanied by the slowing of the machinery noise.

The roof glass fully closed.

A robotic voice sounded.

"Auxiliary support structure initiated, ventilation started, temperature adjustment, humidity adjustment."

"Countdown about to begin."

Li Chengyi hooked the corner of his mouth and looked at his sister opposite him with a challenge that spoke louder than words.

Li Chengjiu trembled with rage, but upon hearing the voice, she took a deep breath and steadied herself.

The Soft Qi of Yanhu Sect surged within her.

"5."

"4."

"3"

"2."

"1! Begin!"

The moment the electronic voice ceased.

Li Chengjiu took a leaping step, her legs giving a small hop as she shuffled forward rapidly closing in.

Her right fist, a jab, was like a phantom with a vague tiger’s claw shape that suddenly aimed for Li Chengyi’s right cheek.

Although it was just a probe, this punch was more dangerous than any of her previous full-force attacks.

Whether in terms of strength, speed, or the angle chosen, at this moment, Li Chengjiu seemed to have become a completely different person.

The two additional Strengthening Injections she had taken had elevated her overall physical quality to a new level.

She couldn’t alter the one-ton limit of her strength, but her reaction speed, evasion instincts, the frequency of Soft Qi Eruptions, and recovery speed.

All had been greatly enhanced.

Whoosh.

As expected, this move missed its mark.

Li Chengjiu was not surprised, as she had already experienced her younger brother’s strength before. His power was freakish, and his speed was no slouch either.

Avoiding it was not unexpected.

But dodging the first move didn’t mean he could avoid the subsequent ones.

The fighting style of Yanhu Sect, combined with the newly learned Thirteen Flying Flow Close Combat Technique, burst forth in an instant.

’White Tiger Chain Slaughter!’

Li Chengjiu’s hands moved in a chain of claw strikes, lightning-fast as she aimed for Li Chengyi’s chest.

In less than a second, seventeen chain strikes were executed, each vicious and brutal, promising lacerated skin and flesh if even slightly touched.

But Li Chengyi simply crossed his arms in front of his chest, his burly body as light as a bird or a piece of paper, easily dodging under the rapid onslaught of claws.

Claw shadows struck down like hitting phantoms, all missing their target.

"Weak."

"Too weak!"

While dodging, he didn’t forget to continue taunting.

"Is that all you’ve got, sister? If you can’t even touch me once, I’m going to be very disappointed..."

Li Chengjiu’s expression remained unchanged; after a barrage of failed attacks, she wasn’t disheartened.

She immediately sidestepped to create distance.

"I was just testing you to see if there’s been any regression in your level compared to last time."

"Oh? How did the test go? I haven’t even used my hands, and you can’t touch me at all, can you?" Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"You can talk tough now, but soon... I’ll make you understand what pain and humiliation are!" Li Chengjiu said coldly.

She took a deep breath, and streams of Soft Qi started to circulate, intertwine, and converge inside her, quickly forming the outline of a tiger made of Soft Qi within her, invisible to others.

Li Chengjiu’s body hair bristled slightly, her hands touching the ground, she moved on all fours like a real tiger.

Phew!

Waves of heat radiated from her, creating circles of warm air around her.

"I’m giving you one last chance. Kneel before me now and apologize, and I might go a little easier on you," Li Chengjiu said gravely.

"Poor rhetoric." Li Chengyi laughed, "Sister, you’re truly innocent in trying to provoke someone... it’s not how it’s done."

"Then wait until I knock you down and knock out all your teeth, then you’ll know if what I say is true or false," Li Chengjiu seemed to have fully calmed down.

"Is that so?" Li Chengyi raised an eyebrow.

Then.

He opened his arms wide as if he wanted to embrace something.

"Come on. Let me feel it."

Bang!!

As soon as he finished speaking.

Li Chengjiu became a blur, lunging towards him.

This time, her lunge was at least twice as fast as before.

The spectators around could no longer make out the details; they only saw a flicker of a shadow.

Li Chengjiu was already on the other side, her air-tearing tiger claw smash heading straight for Li Chengyi’s chest.

This strike’s explosive speed, which was much faster than before, also carried a strange trajectory.

It seemed like a straight line but was actually swaying left and right, elusive and unpredictable.

This was the secret technique of Yanhu Sect, the Intense Tiger Formation.

Compared to Li Chengjiu’s previously used Tiger Descend Claw, this move’s power was at least three times greater.

It wasn’t just the increase in speed that mattered.

The key was that the Intense Tiger Formation truly exemplified Yanhu Sect’s most powerful core secret technique—Rending Force.

It was a ripping force akin to the claws of a real tiger.

Just one touch.

Could leave the opponent’s skin ripped and blood flowing without cease.

Chi!!

Unfortunately, Li Chengyi stepped back just in time, narrowly avoiding the blow.

The distance from being injured was a mere centimeter or less.

’Again!’

Li Chengjiu’s eyes trembled, and she continued her assault.

Amidst the whooshing sounds, she launched twenty strikes with her hands in three seconds.

But all the tiger claws missed Li Chengyi by just a hair’s breadth.

It was a slight distance that seemed insurmountable to her.

"Impossible!!?" Her eyes were beginning to change.

Streams of Soft Qi erupted once more, as she couldn’t believe that she still couldn’t touch her brother even once.

The newly mastered high-level secret technique of Yanhu Sect, which had given her a clear advantage in army sparring sessions, was now ineffective...!?

"I don’t believe it!!" She bellowed as she made a forceful step forward.

’Yanhu Sect’s Secret Slaughter: Primary Amber!’

In an instant, her Soft Qi rippled like water waves, boosting her explosive speed even further.

Her body, strengthened to the limit, was greatly enhanced at that moment.

Predictive ability, speed, nerve reaction, stamina recovery.

Everything reached the pinnacle of her martial arts career.

She raised her claws high, the Soft Qi converging in her arms, sweeping down from above with a sudden drop.

"Die!!!"

In an instant, she closed in again, reaching out with all her strength toward Li Chengyi.

Pu.

Just then, she was tripped by something, and her body fell face down with her hands still raised.

Bang!!

The ground trembled slightly.

Li Chengjiu lay face down at Li Chengyi’s feet, utterly stunned.

"Sis, are you okay?" Li Chengyi asked with concern, nudging her with his foot.

"...." Li Chengjiu got up, blood flowing from her nose, which she quickly pressed to stop the bleeding.

She didn’t know how she had fallen just now, but...

Soft Qi began to flow again, accelerated, erupted!

’Primary Amber!!’

Whoosh!

In a flash, she lunged forward, her claws aimed fiercely at Li Chengyi’s chest.

At this moment, they were only two meters apart. At this distance, she believed she could not miss!

She refused to believe it!

With intense heat radiation from her body, her eyes razor-sharp, filled with a resolute intention to annihilate, she charged at Li Chengyi.

Pu!

Tripped again.

She lost her balance and fell forward onto the floor, which emitted a muffled sound.

Bang!!

"Sis, why are you so careless, falling again?" Li Chengyi’s face wore a malicious grin as he subtly moved his right foot.

"I just happened to put my foot in front of you by accident. Sis, don’t you look where you’re going?"

Anger +2.

Anger +2.

Li Chengjiu got up from the ground, her nose bleeding again.

She simply used a technique to temporarily cut the flow of blood from her vessels, looking up with eyes veined with blood at Li Chengyi.

The two silently faced each other for two seconds.

"You’re forcing my hand..." Li Chengjiu had actually also harbored a bit of wishful thinking, hoping she might be able to win against her brother purely through combat.

But alas, reality was cruel.

In these brief moments, what really allowed her strength to evolve was the augmentation module.

"I didn’t plan to use this... but now..." Li Chengjiu lightly touched her waist.

A current of electricity instantly stung her waist.

’Augmentation module activating.’

’Optimal force application calculation.’

’Wind speed calculation.’

’Opponent’s evasion calculation.’

’Counter-evasion calculation.’

’Correction scheme activating...’ Li Chengjiu watched her brother intently, waiting for the final solution to emerge.

Once the solution informed by her brother’s data emerged, her advantage would expand beyond imagining.

So...

Whoosh!

Suddenly, her expression changed, a swift rustle of wind passed by, and the Li Chengyi who had just been in front of her vanished from the spot.

Following that, from the left, came an unimaginable, lightning-fast blast of air pressure.

Block?!

Dodge?!

There was no time!!

Li Chengjiu could only leap up with the momentum, trying to dissipate the force through mid-air.

Bang!!!

A leg swept out like a whip, striking hard against her side.

Interrupting the module’s calculations, she was flung sideways.

With a loud bang, Li Chengjiu slammed against the alloy wall, her shoulder bones emitting a faint cracking sound.

’Damn it! Just a little more!!’ Her calculations were just about to be completed, but... the previous strike had interrupted them, and now she had to start over.

To reconnect would take at least two seconds.

And in those two seconds...

Swish!

Another leg shadow appeared at her side in an instant.

Li Chengyi had somehow reached her side again, his leg sweeping heavily toward her.

Bang!

The leg wasn’t heavy, but it was just enough to again disrupt the module’s calculation process.

Li Chengjiu desperately tried to dodge, to escape the shock from the heavy blows, wishing for the module to complete its activation.

But unfortunately...

Bang.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!!

With each thunderous noise came frustration, fury.

Anger +3.

Anger +1.

Anger +2.

A succession of Evil Thoughts poured continuously into Li Chengyi’s mind.

"Sister, how does it feel? Are you happy?" His final kick was in mid-air, a punishing shot.

He struck Li Chengjiu like a football, sending her over ten meters into the air before she rebounded off the wall.

’Just a bit... more...’ Li Chengjiu, covered in wounds, struggled to her feet from the ground.

Her breakthrough’s greatest improvement was in the module, but at this moment, due to her initial complacency in not activating the module straight away, she couldn’t even manage to activate it.

Two seconds...!

She needed just two seconds!!!

Swish!

Another soft sound occurred.

Li Chengyi had appeared behind her.

A spinning sidestep.

A kick.

Bang!!

A heavy blow struck hard on Li Chengjiu’s raised arm, which she had lifted to block.

The shock of the heavy blow seemed to weaken this time and did not prolong the activation of the module.

Li Chengjiu gritted her teeth and stepped back, her eyes now gleaming with madness.

As long as the module activated...

Bang!!

Before she could regain her senses, another blow struck her abdomen.

Another leg shadow, like a venomous snake, landed silently and heavily on her stomach.
