Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 259: Chapter 36: Junior Sister, Please Hit As You Wish_2

Zhang Xiuping was left speechless.

If not them, who else would you want to fight?

Wang Luoqiu’s gaze swept over the people of Changchun Valley and finally landed on Senior Brother Jinshan. She said calmly, “I heard that Jinshan is quite formidable. Let it be him.”

What?!

At her words, everyone was stunned.

Is Wang Luoqiu really going to fight Jinshan? Isn’t this too outrageous?

I knew it.

Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, speechless in his mind.

He had to admit, his little sister’s character hadn’t changed from when she was little. If she had to fight, she would only fight the strong ones.

He could still vividly remember how young Wang Luoqiu once set up a gang of younger brothers and sisters to besiege him.

Senior Brother Jinshan did not expect to be singled out. Stunned, he burst into scornful laughter, saying, “Very well, very well. Since this young lady is so interested in me, then bring it on!”

Saying so, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to take the stage again.

How humiliating! He would understand if his old adversaries, Zhang Xiuping and Apprentice Muyuanbai, wanted to fight him, but how could this new little girl dare to repeatedly challenge him?

No matter what, he would teach this little girl a lesson today about respecting others!

However, before he could take a step forward, several junior apprentices quickly pulled him back.

“Brother, you can’t do this~”

“Jinshan, hold back your anger! Anat is the devil—”

“As for Sister Luoqiu…” Over there, Apprentice Muyuanbai quickly pulled Wang Luoqiu aside and spoke in a low voice, “Brother Jinshan is nearly sixty years old, so give him some face. How about we lower the age limit?”

Wang Luoqiu thought for a while and felt that her senior brother’s words made sense, so she nodded and said, “Okay, under 50 years old then.”

Upon hearing Sister Luoqiu’s words, Zhang Xiuping trembled with anxiousness and quickly interjected, “Sister Luoqiu, you’re only twenty years old. It’s not quite fitting to challenge those under fifty, right? How about thirty?”

This Sister Luoqiu is exceptionally gifted. It’s understandable that she wouldn’t want to compete with people her own age.

But the Purple Abode is not the outside world. The number of people achieving the Spirit Platform Realm between the ages of thirty and forty is not small. In fact, at fifty years old, one would be deeply immersed in the Spirit Platform Realm, so how could someone at the Vital Energy Refining Realm fight them?

Also, Zhang Xiuping himself was almost fifty years old. He was considered young among the core disciples, and his cultivation base had reached the third level of the Spiritual Platform Realm. By challenging those under fifty years of age, Luoqiu wouldn’t she be bringing him down too? How could he bear this?

Hearing Xiuping’s words, Wang Luoqiu frowned slightly, somewhat unwilling.

Thinking of how Senior Brothers Xiuping and Yuanbai were usually quite reasonable, she felt that she should give them some face.

She hesitated for a moment, before reluctantly compromising. “Thirty is too young. Let’s go with thirty-five. Any younger would be meaningless.”

Thirty-five years old!

Still, both Zhang Xiuping and Muyuanbai found the idea unthinkable. They couldn’t help but wonder if Luoqiu was indulging in mere flights of fancy?

Subconsciously, they looked up at the three masters in the sky.

Master Xuanyao was also looking serious, but since Luoqiu wanted to try, he would let her. Even if she lost, there would be no shame in it.

“My dear disciple, go ahead and fight,” said Master Xuanyao calmly. “No matter what happens, your master will back you up.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Wang Luoqiu returned the salute with neither joy nor sorrow, then turned to face the crowd of Changchun Valley and announced loudly, “Someone under 35, please step forward.”

The people of Changchun Valley were outraged at her words.

She was being way too arrogant and cocky!

Li Yuzhe, who was responsible for recruitment this time, couldn’t help but step forward, saying, “Little girl, I am thirty-four this year and have just advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm less than two years ago. Let me see just how formidable the Carefree Peak is!”

With that, he was the first to jump into the ring.

Wang Luoqiu, however, seemed to be completely unaware of his rage. She calmly stepped onto the ring and bowed to Li Yuzhe, saying, “I am Wang Luoqiu of the Carefree Sect, I ask for your guidance.”

Li Yuzhe laughed in fury, “Sister Luoqiu, I’m more than a decade older than you, so I’ll not take advantage of you. If you can break my defense, I’ll count it as your win.”

As he said this, he pulled out a piece of bark the size of a palm.

The surface of the bark was covered in wrinkles and seemed simple and ancient, nothing impressive at first sight.

However, as Li Yuzhe infused it with his Mysterious Energy, the bark instantly expanded into a set of thick bark armor that covered his entire body, leaving only his eyes exposed.

The green Mysterious Energy of wood slowly flowed on the surface of the bark armor, even the uneven wrinkles on the bark seemed to glow, their energy deep and profound.

“Sister Luoqiu, this is Changchun Valley’s secret technique — the Ancient Tree Armor,” Brother Xiuping reminded her. “Not only is its defense extremely astonishing, but if it’s not quickly shattered, it can grow back and repair itself.”

Wang Luoqiu nodded to show that she understood.

At this point, Li Yuzhe once again mobilized his Mysterious Energy, and a tangible green energy rose from his body, forming a thick green energy shield around him in the blink of an eye.

“With Wood Spirit Shield, energy can be replenished indefinitely.” Brother Yuanbai also warned her seriously. “This is a very tricky shield. It’s known as the ‘indestructible as long as the Mysterious Energy holds’, it’s hard candy. Sister Luoqiu, if your explosive power is inadequate, I’m afraid it will be hard to break this shield.”

In the crowd, Wang Shouzhe, who was watching the battle, couldn’t help but click his tongue.

No wonder the Old Ancestor Longyan described Changchun Valley as being “quite resilient”. It appears they truly are a group that can take a good punch or two.
