Chapter 665: Chapter 665: When you grow up, who would dare to marry you?

Dongfang Ruhua and Isabella were about the same age, one with an Innate Thunder Spirit Root and the other born with the special ability to manipulate thunder and lightning. Moreover, they both had large eyes, straight noses, small mouths, and delicate features like the beauties in comic books.

The difference was that Dongfang Ruhua was pure and cute, gentle and obedient, while Isabella exuded a certain queenly aura of superiority.

And the most significant difference was, at the same age, Dongfang Ruhua’s realm was only at the High Rank of Yellow Level, whereas this Isabella was already equivalent to a Martial Artist at the Heaven Level beginner stage in the Ancient Martial World of Huaxia, and furthermore, she was at the peak of that beginner stage, with faint signs of reaching an even higher realm.

Long Jingtian was right not to lead the team to America, if he had encountered this Isabella, he really wouldn’t have been a match for her.

After Isabella stepped out of the great hall and used the power of lightning to flatten that sand dune, Fang Bai admired the young girl’s strength in secret, and his hands itched to reveal his disguised presence and meet her.

"Who are you?"

Isabella’s eyes shimmered coldly as she stared intently at Fang Bai and asked in a chilly voice.

Although Fang Bai did not show any hostility, Isabella was not inclined to let the matter drop, because the castle was the private domain of generations of "Statue of Liberty" leaders. Any stranger who trespassed on this territory was to be killed, a rule established over a hundred years ago.

Isabella did not want to break this rule.

Although she was not absolutely confident in her ability to kill her opponent, she was determined to give it her all.

"Miss Isabella’s strength is indeed as formidable as the legends say! Admirable! Admirable!"

Fang Bai did not answer Isabella’s question but said with a smile, "I have a friend in Huaxia about your age, a beautiful girl like you. By coincidence, she too can naturally be close to thunder and lightning, and now she has also learned to use the power of thunder. If you two ever have the chance to meet in the future, you could exchange thoughts."

After all, Isabella was a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl who, upon hearing this, became curious and almost blurted out, "Who is that girl?" But she swallowed the words back as they reached her lips.

Isabella had already decided to kill Fang Bai, and it seemed rather inappropriate to ask such a question at this time.

"Answer me, who are you?"

Isabella looked at Fang Bai coldly, her delicate face covered with a layer of frost, and her hand, gripping the staff, tightened a bit more.

Fang Bai laughed and said, "You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that I bear you no ill will. I’m just passing through and will be on my way."

Isabella said coldly, "Do you think you can come and go as you please here?"

"Not letting me go, are you planning to keep me for a midnight snack?"

Fang Bai pointed towards Isabella’s white castle and said with a grin, "Such a big castle must surely have no shortage of fine wines and dishes. As the host, won’t you invite this guest in for a sit-down?"

Isabella rarely got angry, but now, she was somewhat infuriated and said through clenched teeth, "Who exactly are you?"

Fang Bai sighed, "This is already the third time you’ve asked me that. Is it really that important who I am?"

He paused for a moment, glanced at Isabella, and added, "I see a murderous intent in your eyes. It’s not a good thing for someone so young to enjoy killing. Who would dare marry you when you grow up? Besides, with your strength, you can’t kill me. And I have no interest in killing you. Instead of fighting each other, why don’t we sit down and have some late-night snacks..."

"Enough!"

Isabella shouted angrily, interrupting Fang Bai. She pointed her staff towards him and exclaimed furiously, "Without fighting, how do you know I can’t kill you? This is private property; by trespassing here, you can leave your life behind!"

Her pupils flashed with a purple glint, and lightning snakes coiled around her; as she spoke, her staff, along with her lunging figure, struck towards Fang Bai.

She moved with lightning speed, and the two-meter-long staff, enveloped in electricity and emitting a terrifying crackling sound, was inches from Fang Bai’s chest in an instant.

The fist-sized purple gemstone embedded on Isabella’s staff, in Fang Bai’s eyes, was actually a Thunder Essence Stone.

This particular Thunder Essence Stone was different from others; it could store and release the power of lightning, akin to a lightning storage and retrieval device.

Compared to the Essence Stones of the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, earth—Thunder Essence Stones were extremely rare. Back when Fang Bai practiced the Thunder Technique, he had to go beyond the nine domains of the Immortal Realm, to the Foreign Thunder Sea World, to find a Thunder Essence Stone.

How Isabella got her hands on this Thunder Essence Stone, Fang Bai didn’t know. He figured everyone had their own fortunes; he had discovered the "Blue Ice Fish" under the pool of water by chance, and similarly, Isabella obtaining this peculiar Thunder Essence Stone was her own fortune.

As Isabella launched her attack, the lightning swirling around her rapidly poured into the Thunder Essence Stone at the top of her staff, and then the accumulated power was directed outward from the stone to strike Fang Bai.

The small sand dune that Isabella had flattened with her staff had accumulated over decades and was as hard as a small hill; Isabella’s attack’s power was evident in her ability to flatten it with a single strike.

However, facing Isabella’s lightning attack, Fang Bai was fearless. He madly activated the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Mantra," his pupils also flickering with purple light, and then extended his right hand, grasping toward Isabella’s staff.

In the instant Fang Bai made his move, Isabella failed to notice that his fingertips were also wrapped with lightning snakes.

"Hmph, seeking death!"

Seeing Fang Bai reaching out barehanded for her staff, clearly not taking her seriously, Isabella was both shocked and furious. Her wrist flicked, speeding up the attack of the staff.

When Isabella’s staff touched Fang Bai’s palm, it didn’t result in the scene Isabella imagined, where Fang Bai would be blown away by the lightning released. Instead, the head of the staff dipped slightly, and the purple gemstone embedded in it was firmly grasped by Fang Bai’s ten fingers.

What surprised Isabella even more was that after Fang Bai caught her staff, the powerful lightning force that blasted from the purple gemstone went crazily into Fang Bai’s palm, disappearing as if water poured into sand, without causing any damage.

Only then did Isabella realize that Fang Bai’s body, like her own, had a unique function to gather and absorb the force of lightning, and it seemed even more effective than hers.

Although this attack was mainly to test the opponent’s strength, she hadn’t used her full force; still, her attack, powered by seventy percent of her strength and amplified by the purple gemstone on her staff, was blocked by a single palm of the opponent, which was somewhat difficult for Isabella to accept.
