C50 Already at the Astral Force Stage

"You damned bastard! You won't get away with this!" Lee Hong'er screamed from within the lake.

Lee Hong'er grew up in the Hall of Martial Arts, with everyone around her showering her with love. So, as she grew older, she became arrogant and overbearing. So, she would always bully everyone, and she never even considered the possibility that someone would bully her back. (E/N:- Ah... yes. The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this... )

She couldn't have thought that the arrogant brat she was about to put in his place would actually retaliate! Not only retaliate but also throw her in a lake. How Humiliating!

Lee Hong'er was worthy of growing up as a martial artist, her strength had reached the third-grade, and she quickly jumped out of the lake.

Her entire body was soaked in water; it was difficult to hide her sexy figure when it stuck so close to her body. And Xiang Shaoyun, being an honest man, admired her body openly.

"She is quite pretty, but her breasts, though, are on the smaller side. Umm... And her buttocks, not round enough. Moreover, add her bad attitude to all that, and all you would get is a slightly good-looking edgy brat," Xiang Shaoyun evaluated Lee Hong'er—in front of Lee Hong'er.

"I want you dead!" Lee Hong'er's anger erupted like a volcano, and without caring about her sorry state, she rushed towards Xiang Shaoyun.

Her palm contained a volley of star energy, shimmering in blood-red light. With a destructive might, it directly smashed into Xiang Shaoyun's chest.

Crimson Palm!

A third-grade Astral Force cultivator could be considered a top-tier expert, so how could an ordinary person possibly withstand their full force attack.

Xiang Shaoyun did not dodge or evade the palm strike. Instead, he leaned forward and punched out.

Blazing Air Fist!

This punch did not emit any star energy, but the impact force was still quite violent.

Bang!

The palm and fist clashed, and a heavy sound of clashing rang out.

Lee Hong'er was actually forced two steps back by Xiang Shaoyun's punch. Moreover, she could feel a stinging pain in her palms.

As for Xiang Shaoyun, he did not move at all and was unaffected by her offense.

"Since I have taught you a lesson, get lost now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Xiang Shaoyun said with coldness in his eyes.

Lee Hong'er struck him with a whip, making his face ugly for an hour. In return, he dropped her into the water. Tit-for-tat.

Seeing that Lee Hong'er looked like a drowned chicken right now, all his anger vanished, and he was in no mood of dragging this skirmish any longer.

Men had to be magnanimous, don't they?

Unfortunately, Lee Hong'er wasn't appreciating his magnanimity at all.

"You still dare tell me to scram? Good, very good. If I, Lee Hong'er, can't kill you today, this hatred would never be vented." Gathering all her strength, Lee Honge'r charged towards Xiang Shaoyun.

She was worthy of being Lee Xiemeng's daughter, as she had practiced this Crimson Palm skill to the point that it was akin to tophet flames on her palm. Behind each palm strike was a boundless amount of star energy, and they all targeted his vital points. Moreover, the strikes were tricky and hard to block.

Lee Hong'er was furious and was attacking with all her strength.

Xiang Shaoyun did not use the Insight skill, but he was still able to pinpoint the direction of Lee Hong'er's attack.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged more than a dozen blows.

"How can you expect a fair fight when you are completely drenched? If not for that, I would've already taken you down." Xiang Shaoyun's gaze continued to wander on Lee Hong'er's body as he spoke with his eyes wide open.

Hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words, Lee Hong'er's hands trembled, and a flaw appeared in her attack.

Xiang Shaoyun took the opportunity and struck at her chest with his palm.

Bang!

Lee Hong'er was once again struck hard and fell into the lake again.

Thump! Thump!

Due to all those movements and the heat, her drenched closed were drying up. However, it became all for naught now. She was, once again, drenched.

Lee Hong'er was dumbstruck. When she floated up to the surface of the water, she was like an angry tigress. "I-I swear I won't be a human if I can't kill you."

"Okay, I accept. That one was my fault." Xiang Shaoyun replied, a bit embarrassed. "I told you to scram. Forget it, this young master will be more generous and consider this grudge settled."

With that, Xinag Shaoyun did not wait for the other party's agreement and ran away.

No matter what, the other party was the daughter of an elder. If her father really came, he would at least die! All things aside, she was the daughter of an elder. If her father made a visit and saw her in such a sorry state, he would kill him.

"Damn you! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I'll still find you and kill you," screamed Lee Hong'er, as she stared at the distant Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally did not care about Lee Hong'er anymore. He had already returned to his courtyard and laid out his gains from the trip. He hid the important herbs and beast materials and took the less important stuff to the Hall of Elixirs.

The Hall of Martial sold numerous herbs, medicines, weapons, etc. But if a disciple had an abundant harvest and wanted to sell his own gains, the Hall of Martial Arts could also act as a buyer.

Xiang Shaoyun had obtained quite a few herbs from his trip to the Hundred Beast Mountain, so he naturally could not leave them alone. He would first exchange them for some points, and then, he could buy some other herbs that he needed with those points.

After Xiang Shaoyun entered the Hall of Elixirs, he took out the herbs and said to the elder, "Elder, can you tell me how many points for these herbs."

The elder threw an astonishing look at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Already at the Astral Force Stage? So quick!"

Xiang Shaoyun was a genius with a five star talent and had bought herbs from the hall before, so the elder was familiar with him. Actually, he had a deep impression of Xiang Shaoyun.

The elder was certain that the last time he saw Xiang Shaoyun, he was only at the seventh grade of Martial Entering Stage. And only after a month, he was now an Astral Force Stage expert.

Most importantly, he could tell that Xiang Shaoyun did not rely on herbs and elixirs for this breakthrough.

Why could he tell that? Well, because he could see that Xinag Shaoyun's foundation was smooth and had no unevenness. It was as if his foundation was constantly hammered to strengthen it.

"Haha, it's just Astral Force Stage, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Xiang Shaoyun said humbly, but his expression was complacent. Right now, he looked anything but humble.

"Mm, you have talent that others cannot compare to. Work hard and don't get arrogant," said the elder. "Show me the herbs."

Xiang Shaoyun handed the package over and opened it.

The elder picked up the herbs and praised, "Quite a harvest you got here, brat. A 100-year-old flower, a 150-year-old Serpent Vine, and so many Blood Mushrooms. Oh, a 300-year-old Blood Mushroom too. Within a few years, it would have matured into a top-tier inferior-grade herb."

Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything as he thought to himself, "This young master already has a Blood Mushroom King, so I'm not interested in this low-level stuff."

Through the elder's calculations, Xiang Shaoyun could finally exchange all of it for 6,500 points.

Xiang Shaoyun was satisfied with this; after all, he had killed a few Wild Lion Demon Legion members just to get some of those herbs.

After getting the points, he didn't even wait a day to spend them. He immediately bought the inferior-grade herb Astral Illusion Flower and some other herbs.

"Kid, aren't your stars already awake? Why do you still need this Astral Illusion Flower?" the elder asked curiously.

The Astral Illusion Flower was very useful for the cultivator at the peak of the Martial Entering Stage. This herb can awaken a cultivator's stars and help them step into the Astral Force Stage.

However, Xiang Shaoyun was already in the Astral Force Stage. So, it shouldn't be useful for him.

This was the reason why the elder was so curious.

"Haha, of course, It'll be useful!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed.

He wouldn't tell him that other than awakening the stars, the Astral Illusion Flower was also useful for the Quasar Sea.

Xiang Shaoyun left the Hall of Elixirs and rushed to the outer court.

When he arrived at the outer court, he discovered that his little brother, Xia Liuhui, was being beaten like a pig. This instantly turned his mood foul.
