— Chapter 297 —

Yu Ning’er floated on the seawater and smiled because she could feel the intense heat from another side of Sea God Island.

It was easy for her to guess who caused such an abrupt increase in temperature.

“Well, well, looks like the adorable apple-headed maid of mine was caught in a heated situation.” Yu Ning’er commented with a playful tone.

.

.

Yet, when the heat exceeded Yu Ning’er expectations, a frown appeared on her face.

“This scalding heat, who’s her enemy there?” She sensed several presences inside her territory.

Yu Ning’er shook her head and added, “Anyway, Bai Xue definitely could handle the situation.”

“Let’s focus on my part too.”

She believed Bai Xue could handle any situation with her self-proclaimed bright mind. Her enemy isn’t a god.

After all, the Spirit Master is only a human with incredible strength. A being with imperfection that strives in a tedious cultivation way.

“What lies beyond the sky?” Yu Ning’er chanted with electricity flowing through her skin.

Zzztt!

A few drones surrounded Yu Ning’er, aiming soul-guidance weapons at her.

She watched the drones and indifferently continued, “Heavenly Lightning.”

A beautiful red spear with several scratches on the shaft and a sharp yet pointy tip appeared in the air.

Yu Ning’er grasped her martial soul and swung it horizontally at a 60-degree angle. Her action caused a violent air to burst out of nowhere and obliterate every drone within the range.

Boom!

“Where is the rest?” She closed her eyes and sensed the vibration in the air.

Swoosh!

Clank! Clank!

Yu Ning’er raised her spear and blocked two flying disks. She opened her eyes and saw a man in a red outfit.

This man is in his early thirties with short auburn hair, lazy brown eyes, and a bear-like physique. He wore Sun and Moon’s 3rd vice-admiral outfits.

“A girl?” Xiong Fei commented while looking at Yu Ning’er.

A few drone scraps floating around her caught Xiong Fei’s attention.

“Ah, I see…”

“You’re the one who destroyed my drones and disks.” He commented while raising his lips.

“Interesting.”

“Very interesting.”

Xiong Fei’s right eyes glowed with dim red light because he wanted to know how powerful this ginger-haired girl was.

However, Xiong Fei was quickly disappointed by her weak Spirit Emperor’s cultivation. It’s not even enough to enter his special squad.

“How disappointing.” He sighed inside.

Yu Ning’er calmly observed the man with her eyes, noticing he was scanning her strength by simply Cultivation realm.

“How amusing,” She chuckled madly. “I’d never thought to experience this again.”

.

.

.

Yu Ning’er was born in a noble family, similar to her arch-nemesis Bai Xue, near Star Dou Forest.

However, reality hit even more difficult for her.

At the tender age of 5, Yu Ning’er watched her entire family wiped by an Evil Spirit Master. To be exact, it was one hour before her sixth birthday.

Snake Lance Douluo, Yu Long, helped Yu Ning’er at her lowest point and adopted her to the spirit hall as his disciple. He also killed the Evil Spirit Master before that person could kill her.

Not only that, but Snake Lance Douluo also granted Yu Ning’er his family name.

“Why are you not here sooner?!!”

“Mother and Father wouldn’t have died because of that person.”

“Grandma, Grandpa… Uwaa…” She cried while hugging herself.

Yu Ning’er recalled herself shouting at Yu Long because her family wouldn’t have disappeared if he could come to this place sooner.

She knew it was just a desperate childish tantrum.

The cruel words from Evil Spirit Master’s mouth suddenly echoed in her mind.

“Are you angry?”

“Do you hate me now?”

“Aww, blame yourself for being weak, kid.”

“I bet you wanted to kill me so bad now, hahaha.”

.

.

Yu Ning’er raised her lips and whispered, “Happy Birthday, Ning’er.”

“I’m 17 now, huh.”

“Time sure flies fast.”

Xiong Fei picked a 7-class soul guidance Disk-Launcher from his spatial tool and aimed it at Yu Ning’er. It’s a tool with a minigun shape and oval barrels.

“Whatever, just die.” He grinned while pumping his spirit energy into the Disk-Launcher.

Yu Ning’er disappeared from Xiong Fei’s vision and appeared in front of him with a faint lightning flash, kicking his stomach in the liver area.

Bam!

Cough!

Xiong Fei actually wasn’t injured by her attacks, but he could still feel the pain.

He instinctively pressed the trigger and launched several disks at point-blank range, which exploded when hitting Yu Ning’er.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Disk-Launcher utilized momentum manipulation through rapid spirit energy reaction, launching an exploding disk(shell) at the enemy. It’s a powerful weapon capable of killing any Spirit Master under the Spirit Saint realm.

However, Yu Ning’er trained her body to reach a level beyond the Spirit Saint realm a few years ago. A mere explosion with such momentum won’t be enough to kill her.

No, her skin won’t even get a scratch from it.

BOOM!

A cloud of smoke appeared on the seashore, blinding the area with irksome blackness. Xiong Fei’s eyes scanned through the cloud and used his martial soul.

When he was about to call his martial soul, a flash of lightning moved through the smoke.

Xiong Fei raised his arms quickly to guard himself and saw a red spear tip reach his neck, causing him to frown deeply.

It’s a faint attack.

Yu Ning’er waved her leg and kicked Xiong Fei’s family jewel.

Bam!

She’s not like Zhu Zhuqing, who tried to overcome a strong enemy with a tight chance. Nor like Chu Xiaoyu, who mastered her sword beyond common sense.

Also, Yu Ning’er is the opposite of Bai Xue.

That’s why Yu Ning’er fought dirtier than other maids.

“Uugh, how dare you…” Xiong Fei bent his body unnaturally into the U shape.

He couldn’t feel anything in his crotch area and released tears because of the pain.

Yu Ning’er stared at him indifferently and rotated her spear in the air, causing it to vibrate violently. She was about to attack Xiong Fei’s family jewel, but he obviously read her now.

A barrier appeared on Xiong Fei’s crotch, but Yu Ning’er bent her spear and slashed his chest. There is a clear red line on Xiong Fei’s chest.

Slash!

Xiong Fei’s uniform scattered, showing the slash scars opening into a big wound.

Yu Ning’er activated her first spirit ring, and blue lightning exploded from her body.

Xiong Fei finally was angered by her disrespectful actions and activated his martial soul to the fullest. A silhouette of an armored red panda materialized on the seashore.

It’s a chubby red panda with refined metal-made armor and a bamboo hat on its round head.

Nine spirit rings appeared around Xiong Fei’s body and awakened the armored red panda from its sleep.

ROAR!

Yu Ning’er took a few steps back because the red panda’s roar caused a massive shockwave.

She pressed her leg naturally against the sea water and saw Xiong Fei’s transformation from a decent-sized man to a red-furred monster with black eyes full of anger.

“A titled douluo, huh.” Yu Ning’er commented while showing her spirit rings to the world.

A series of black spirit rings materialized around her spear and slowly synergized with each other.

Xiong Fei’s eyes widened because of her bizarre spirit rings’ configuration.

‘A spirit master of this era shouldn’t have such an unorthodox configuration.’ He thought solemnly.

Xiong Fei raised his Disk-Launcher and created a bamboo staff from thin air, which was his spirit skill’s ability.

They stared at each other for a second and ran forward, leaving a ripple on the sea.

BAM!

Yu Ning’er launched a punch at Xiong Fei’s face but defended himself with the bamboo staff.

The disk launcher released a loud noise and fired an unknown amount of exploding disks at her.

DING! DING! DING!

Yu Ning’er waved her spear and directed the disks away.

A breeze suddenly appeared from behind, and her stomach was blown away by something.

BAM! Cough!

Yu Ning’er stood on her feet and saw a small portion of her stomach had disappeared, leaving a red hole.

She raised her gaze and saw some weapon on Xiong Fei’s shoulders. It’s similar to the disk launcher, though smaller in size.

“Heh, take that.” Xiong Fei grinned at her.

“Now that injury would slow down your movement-.”

BAM!

‘Huh?’

‘What happened?’ Xiong Fei’s whole body was blown away by an unknown force and flew a hundred meters away.

“Slow down what?” Yu Ning’er asked while her entire body released violent red lightning.

“My movement?”

“There is no one faster than me besides the young master.”

She threw her spear and added, “Do you think you can keep up with me?”

BAM!

Xiong Fei’s chin was blasted by Yu Ning’er, erasing a chunk of his flesh. A red spear struck between his jaws.

“Discharge.” Yu Ning’er flashed and grasped her spear again.

A bolt of fierce red lightning gathered into a sphere shape on the tip of her martial soul, causing Xiong Fei to feel deadly fear.

Yu Ning’er stood with wildly dancing golden hair, which was the effect of using her martial soul’s electricity. Her eyes were completely red like blood and released intense killing intent.

She was known to be an older sister character with a playful personality among Yunlong’s maids, which covered her real nature.

If Bai Xue is a mad girl who experimented with her body to the point of becoming medicine itself, then Yu Ning’er is a lunatic who transformed her body beyond common sense.

Her lightning is not simply an element or attribute. It’s a living being with consciousness.

Since Yu Ning’er received Yunlong’s blood essence, something was awakening inside her. A greater force with no bounds of this world.

It’s her family secret and the last reminder of her true origin.

“Divine Lightning.” Yu Ning’er forcibly broke Xiong Fei’s jaws and destroyed his head to pieces.

BOOM!

An explosion swept over the seashore, and a headless body flew away.

Yu Ning’er bounced her spear back and placed it on her shoulders.

She watched the sky and commented, “Boring.”

“It’s time to return since I finished my task already.”

“Hmm?” Yu Ning’er looked down and saw something leeching on her stomach, which had a timer.

[00:00]

She instinctively activated her lightning, but it was too late.

NIT! BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Xiong Fei’s body floated on the sea and slowly recovered to the fullest without a single injury, even his head forming back.

He raised his body and coughed because seawater entered his mouth.

“Pu! Disgusting,” He commented lazily. “That girl should have died now.”

“I used 8th class C0 bomb after all.”

“To think I was caught off guard by a spirit emperor, how embarrassing.” He added while shaking his head.

Yu Ning’er stood on the sea with a hole in her stomach to the chest area, and her heart was visible for the world to see.

She gritted her teeth and used her spirit skills to fix her injured body.

Cough!

“That’s not bad.” She coughed a little.

She was okay with this kind of injury because Bai Xue could have killed her so many times at this point, but she could survive with her physical strength and regeneration ability.

They fought for years, and Yu Ning’er was confident with her body. Regardless, it somehow isn’t enough to complete her family secret.

“Huh?” Yu Ning’er noticed her vision became blurry.

Dum!

Dum!

Dum!

The entire seashore trembled violently, and a powerful electric current ran through the salt water, electrocuting everything inside it.

Xiong Fei floated above the seawater because the electric current affected his soul guidance tools.

He looked up slowly and saw the sky became dark, changing color from the bright to gloomy night in a second. It’s such bizarre scenery for him.

“Wait, don’t tell me.” Xiong Fei moved his gaze quickly to the girl he killed with the C0 bomb.

Yu Ning’er had become entirely black with cracks all around her body. However, it’s just the outer skin of an evolving butterfly.

“Ning’er, remember divine lightning is not something mortals could handle.” A sweet motherly voice echoed.

“It’s a force of heaven, and our family inherited it a thousand years ago from an unknown oracle.”

“Eh, what does the oracle look like, you ask?”

“Hmm… Let me remember, the oracle is clearly handsome, my grandma once said in her stories. His eyes are crimson red with weird pupils, with a black dot in the middle three tomoes are rotating around it like beautiful black carps.”

A young kid appeared in front of Yu Ning’er. He’s handsome with short black hair.

He smiled at her and launched a punch at her.

Yu Ning’er remembered that she couldn’t move an inch besides looking at his crimson red eyes, which were just like what her mother described in her story.

It ended with a flick on her forehead, but Yu Ning’er recalled this moment like it was yesterday.

“Ah, young master~.”

BOOM!

A thunderous roar echoed from heaven.

“Mother, why do our family symbols look weird?”

“It’s like a horse, but with a horn and scales?”

“Hahaha…” A gentle laugh escaped her mother’s mouth.

“No, of course, it’s not weird.”

“The oracle gave us a portion of divine lightning, but its true form isn’t lightning itself.”

“It’s the mythical beast, Kirin.”

BOOM!

ROARRRR!

A horned beast made of pure lightning moved through the dark clouds, falling from the sky to Yu Ning’er.

Yu Ning’er opened her eyes and grasped her martial soul, which had transformed into a menacing crimson lance with a twisted spearhead.

Her body experienced a change too because scales suddenly appeared on her upper body like armor. A beautiful horn also grew on her forehead.

Xiong Fei, who possessed a beast-type martial soul, felt pressured to the brim.

Even though he was titled douluo, his cultivation progression so far isn’t that rough compared to Yu Ning’er. His spiritual sea is barely passable to reach the Title Douluo realm itself.

Yu Ning’er trained her body intensely to become a suitable vessel for Kirin.

Xiong Fei might be older, but his experience primarily was based on Sun and Moon’s standards. So he was sure no one from the Douluo Continent could defeat him.

After all, his martial soul prevents him from dying. He couldn’t die against such a primitive enemy.

Unfortunately, his enemy is one of Yunlong’s maids. Common sense is something they throw out of the window when they decide to follow him.

‘The difference of strength should have been clear from the start.’ Xiong Fei thought while trembling.

“What’s this?”

“JUST WHAT IS THIS??!!”

A red spirit ring descended from the sky and merged with Yu Ning’er, completing the prophecy her family had been telling for years.

“What lies beyond the sky?”

“Heavenly Lightning.” Yu Ning’er chanted naturally while looking at Xiong Fei dead in the eyes.

Xiong Fei used the battle armor given to him beforehand and prepared himself to fight this monster. His spirit energy flared to the highest output.

“Come!”

Yu Ning’er flashed to Xiong Fei and bashed him with her spear.

CLANK! BAM!

Xiong Fei countered with his bamboo staff, trying his best to push this monster away from him.

Yu Ning’er stared at Xiong Fei’s eyes and raised her leg, kicking on the nuts for the second time.

Clank!

“You can’t injure me anymore.” He commented while kicking Yu Ning’er away.

However, a few red lights suddenly fell from the sky and became a copy of her spear.

“Discharge.” She whispered while pointing her spear at Xiong Fei.

“Fire.”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Akin to a laser, Yu Ning’er launched a barrage of attacks at Xiong Fei.

As the seashore heated, the seawater turned to steam and floated around Xiong Fei, coating his barrier in white light.

Crack!

The lasers made of pure lightning Yu Ning’er launched a few moments ago cracked Xiong Fei’s barrier.

It’s a bad idea to use an energy-based barrier because lightning destruction could easily break through. Well, Xiong Fei panicked in this situation.

Xiong Fei climbed to his rank with influence and special perks. His martial soul is a rare beast-type. It had an innate ability to regenerate the user’s physical body no matter how much damage he received.

Since no one could kill him, he had to wait till his enemy gave up.

Yet, no matter how much Xiong Fei waited and defended himself against Yu Ning’er, she didn’t give up and became stronger for some reason.

He used so many 8th-class soul guidance weapons at her and injured her to a dying state once, but she casually walked off and attacked him again.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yu Ning’er dodged every incoming attack with flash-like movement and arrived at Xiong Fei’s side again.

She countered his defensive stance with her spear and kicked him in the guts.

BAM!

Xiong Fei felt enormous pain from her attack.

“What a tough armor.” Yu Ning’er commented with a crazy smile on her face. “I wonder how much you can endure?”

“You’re such a perfect punching bag~.”

BAM!

BOOM!

BAM!

BOOM!

A loud shockwave echoed in the seashore, and Yu Ning’er relentlessly attacked Xiong Fei.

At the top of Sea God Mountain, Yunlong watched this scene with awe.

“Hmm… I didn’t expect her to reach this level.” He commented while covering his mouth.

An intrigued grin appeared on Yunlong’s face, but he couldn’t let Little Saixi see this side of him.

Meanwhile, Little Saixi observed Xiong Fei and commented casually, “Poor old man.”

.

.

.

Yu Ning’er raised her spear at the sky and activated her true martial soul, manifesting Kirin’s legacy inside her body.

A thundercloud began to rumble in the sky and charged an attack beyond her title douluo realm. The frightening head of a beast appeared in the clouds.

Yu Ning’er stared at Xiong Fei and chanted, “Sky Tearing Kirin’s Strike.”

She clenched her hand and dragged the heavenly lightning to the mortal world.

ROAR!

BOOM!

A flash of heavenly lightning dropped to the seashore and wiped the entire Sun and Moon’s agents, including Xiong Fei.

“How could I-.” Xiong Fei gradually saw his body disintegrate to nothing.

“Monster…”

The waves surged up and down around Sea God Island, causing a tsunami to wipe some of the surviving battleships.

Yu Ning’er released her transformation and felt her back being watched by someone.

“Young master?” She turned around and saw Yunlong smiling at her.

“I’m so proud of you, Ning’er.” Yunlong praised her through his telepathy.

Yu Ning’er felt her face hot and squealed, “Kyaa~!”
