1618 The Gap in Their Strength
The cyan-robed man did not realize what had happened until his face hit the hard ground and he smelled the scent of dirt that he had been single-handedly pressed down into in an instant.
Oh my Heavens!
He, an adult man—no, no, no—he, an adult man who was about to break through to level-two spiritual cultivation, had actually been KO'd… by a 14 to 15-year-old girl!
How was he supposed to deal with this!
"There is no need to be prudent when dealing with you guys." Qiao Mu released her grip and stepped back. She then squinted her eyes and beckoned toward him. "Again."
The cyan-robed man only felt his face burning up as he got up from the ground while covered in dirt. He looked at Qiao Mu in embarrassment and stated with a light cough, "Little Miss, I had slackened my vigilance just now. This time I won't hold back, so be careful…"
"Boom!!" Qiao Mu sidestepped and closed in quickly on him before lifting her leg.
Even though the cyan-robed man had reacted quickly by wrapping both hands in spiritual energy for a frontal block, it still was not able to ward off Qiao Mu's ferocious kick.
In the blink of an eye, the cyan-robed man flew up and out of the ring, and the surrounding students quickly retreated backwards.
After getting kicked out from the ring, the man crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.
This time, everyone looked at Qiao Mu with a hint of terror.
If the first time she single-handedly subdued the quasi-level-two spiritual cultivator could be attributed to luck, this time, the other party didn't even have the ability to block her frontal attack!
This was her strength!
As Qiao Mu sauntered forward, everybody subconsciously backed away in absolute silence, clearing out a semi-circular space in the middle.
Qiao Mu walked up to the cyan-robed man and spat coldy, "Apologize."
At this moment, the cyan-robed man found it hard to contain his agony as he nodded and said quietly, "S-Sorry, I-I had made irresponsible assumptions."
"Be careful next time! Don't randomly look down on people when you don't know the situation." Qiao Mu stated coldy, "We came late only because we got lost!"
The little fatty, who had originally been immersed in the awe of "the little lady is so powerful and amazing," nearly tripped. His lips twitched uncontrollably as he quibbled in his mind: What an honest-to-a-fault little great aunt! You didn't really need to add on that last sentence!
"What is this commotion!"
Just as everyone was jabbering in discussion, a cold voice projected over the entire area and instantly muted everyone's voices.
A middle-aged man over forty strode over. His sharp hawk-like eyes locked onto Qiao Mu and company.
"It's you people who are causing trouble?"
The little fatty and Qi Xuanxuan exchanged glances. They both stepped out in unison and stood beside Qiao Mu before they all looked toward that middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man snorted. "Was it you people who rode a fire phoenix to the summit and caused a panic?"
The little fatty scoffed. "Panicking just because of a mystic beast? If they're so weak, they might as well stay at home and embroider flowers! What would be the use of embarking on the path of cultivation for longevity?"
Qiao Mu curved her lips and nodded in agreement.
Qi Xuanxuan mocked, "They might even be scared of needles if you ask them to embroider. They might as well stay as young ladies and young masters at home."
"You guys!" The students' faces alternated between green and white.
