"I will divorce you!"
As Xiao Yu's voice fell, a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.
On the Dou Qi Continent, if a man divorces a woman, it's understandable. But if a man is divorced by a woman, it's truly disgraceful.
Especially for someone like Mo Yu, a genius. Once word spreads that he was divorced by a woman, he would undoubtedly become the subject of public ridicule.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu furrowed his brow.
Although he didn't care about reputation, being divorced by a woman would still be quite embarrassing.
"Hehe, if Cousin Xiao Yu is confident in her abilities, let's have a fight," Mo Yu said calmly, looking at the confident woman before him.
A three-star Dou Zhe trying to defeat him? She was too naive.
Seeing Mo Yu's composed demeanor, a trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes.
Although she inwardly acknowledged Mo Yu's impressive talent—having increased his strength so much in just one year—talent didn't equate to combat ability.
One-star Dou Zhe trying to defeat a three-star Dou Zhe, especially one who had received elite academy training like her? The odds were slim to none.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. I hope you won't regret it after you lose!" Xiao Yu said coldly.
Although she couldn't understand where Mo Yu's confidence came from, she firmly believed in her own strength and didn't think she could lose to someone who had just broken through to become a one-star Dou Zhe.
With a step forward, her graceful body arched beautifully. Her slender right leg, accompanied by a faint gust of wind and a hint of green Dou Qi, fiercely kicked towards Mo Yu.
"Huang-Class Advanced Dou Technique, Whirlwind Shadow Kick!"
Seeing the woman suddenly attack, Mo Yu was caught off guard, but he wasn't flustered. He quickly retreated a few steps, barely dodging the incoming leg wrapped in fierce wind.
"Hmph, no matter how talented you are, you're just a one-star Dou Zhe. Admit defeat," Xiao Yu sneered, her long legs moving like a storm, creating gusts of wind that rustled the fallen leaves on the ground.
The strength of a three-star Dou Zhe was indeed the strongest Mo Yu had encountered since his rebirth. Under her relentless assault, he found it hard to find an opening to counterattack and had to keep dodging.
But soon, Mo Yu steadied his stance.
"Nine Flashes of the Wandering Dragon: Quick Flash!"
In the midst of Xiao Yu's ferocious kicks, Mo Yu moved like a nimble dragon in the sea, dodging every lethal attack with precision.
Despite the fierce onslaught of Xiao Yu's legs, Mo Yu's calm and composed expression showed that he wasn't fazed.
"Such graceful movement!" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise as she saw Mo Yu's effortless dodges. For someone who had just advanced to a one-star Dou Zhe to master such a technique was indeed a testament to his genius.
Moreover, this movement technique wasn't one the family had taught him. Clearly, Mo Yu had his own secrets.
"Hehe, Cousin Xiao Yu, if that's all you've got, I'm afraid your chances of winning are slim," Mo Yu said playfully as he dodged her attacks.
Xiao Yu's leg techniques were imbued with impressive Dou Qi power, but Mo Yu evaded every move flawlessly.
If this continued, Xiao Yu would likely exhaust her Dou Qi before she could land a blow.
As a student of the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yu naturally realized this. Her delicate face became more serious. She had initially thought she could easily crush Mo Yu, but now she realized that his reputation as a genius was well-deserved.
"Your strength is impressive, but now I'll get serious," Xiao Yu said solemnly.
As her words fell, a powerful surge of green Dou Qi erupted from her body.
"Xuan-Class Low-level Dou Technique, Flowing Wind Violet Shadow Palm!"
With a sharp cry, a surge of piercing green Dou Qi condensed in Xiao Yu's palm, striking toward Mo Yu's shoulder with fierce momentum. If this hit landed, it could severely injure Mo Yu's arm, showing that Xiao Yu was not holding back anymore.
Flowing Wind Violet Shadow Palm—a powerful technique that required the strength of at least a Dou Zhe to cultivate. This wasn't a family technique but something Xiao Yu had learned at Jia Nan Academy.
Sensing the sharp energy coming his way, Mo Yu's expression grew serious. Taking a deep breath, he adjusted the flow of Dou Qi within his body.
At the same time, the lightning patterns on his right arm lit up, all thirteen of them glowing brightly.
"Thunder Body!"
With a mental shout, a fierce surge of thunderous energy erupted from Mo Yu's body.
Boom!
The air rippled slightly as an invisible force of thunder crashed into Xiao Yu's advancing form. The immense power of the thunder turned her face pale in an instant.
Thud!
The green palm wind and the silver thunder Dou Qi clashed, but the lightning power had the upper hand. In an instant, Xiao Yu was forced back by the overwhelming force.
"What kind of technique is this? So strong!"
As Xiao Yu retreated, this thought flashed through her mind.
For a mere one-star Dou Zhe to possess not only a remarkable movement technique but also such a powerful combat technique... Could Mo Yu truly be a monstrous genius?
"No!"
Before she could ponder further, a sense of danger flooded her senses. Her body felt weightless as she realized that she was standing on the edge of a cliff.
In the moment of her daze, the cliff edge beneath her feet began to crumble due to the impact of their Dou Qi clash.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Yu's beautiful face turned pale with fear.
Though there were tales on the Dou Qi Continent about people falling off cliffs and finding miraculous inheritances, she didn't believe she'd be that lucky. More likely, she'd end up crippled or dead!
Just as Xiao Yu closed her eyes, ready to accept her fate, she heard a swift 'whoosh' sound. In the next moment, a shadow appeared behind her like a phantom.
Before she could react, strong arms suddenly wrapped around her, lifting her in a 'princess carry.'
Startled by the sudden embrace, Xiao Yu didn't panic. Instead, the firm yet not broad shoulders beneath her gave her an unexpected sense of safety.
Boom!
As the cliff crumbled, the shadow carrying Xiao Yu lightly touched the falling rocks, using them as leverage to leap upwards. After five or six agile jumps, they landed safely on solid ground.
Once on solid ground, the shadow gently set her down.
As she lost the comforting embrace, Xiao Yu strangely felt an odd sense of loss.
Moonlight poured down, revealing the handsome, sculpted face of Mo Yu.
Seeing his face, Xiao Yu's initial fear gradually subsided, replaced by a strange feeling that sprouted deep within her heart.
A cold breeze brushed against her long legs, snapping the girl back to reality. Her pretty face showed a hint of conflict as she looked at Mo Yu with a complicated expression.
"That move you used just now... You even have such an advanced movement technique. Mo Yu, I've lost…"
