Chapter 527 You Were Holding Back!
It was the many years of internal competition and lack of true familial connections that made Yuhe into the person she was today. She had trained tirelessly every single day to improve her strength and comprehend the Elements, managing to acquire the Primary Law of Water by the age of sixteen.
She fought with her elders in several private gardens and personal training rooms, learning their personal and secret techniques until they acknowledged her.
Yuhe's hard work and determination paid off when she broke through to the Ascension Realm. Before this point, Yuhe only had four Magic Affinities, of the Water, Earth, Darkness, and Light Elements. It wasn't bad by all means, but when her World Seed formed, she gained a whopping eleven more Affinities, including the Space Element.
When Yuhe next reported to her parents, they were overjoyed and presented her to the Family Head, subsequently enrolling her in Filem Academy for Excellents. In the course of a few days, Yuhe went from nobody status to a valued member of the Family.
But she hadn't forgotten how they once treated her. If Yuhe failed her in this battle against William, would they discard her from the Family like trash? To her, there was more at stake than just a silly wager.
That's why I can't lose! Yuhe gritted her teeth and withdrew an expensive-looking pair of thin needles with tiny balls at the end for finer control. She controlled the Primary Law of Water to restrain William in one spot, then expertly threw each needle until they pierced through each of his hands. Continue reading at empire
At the moment of impact, Yuhe shouted "Twin Needles Technique: Strength Reflection!"
The needles were small and lightweight, but the moment those words were uttered from Yuhe's mouth, they became as heavy as a million tons of lead. From feathers to lead, the velocity was so high that it almost matched William's Stormlight Blink Spell.
The change happened mere instants before the needles landed, so William misjudged how much time he needed to dodge. Before he knew it, William's hands were pinned to the back wall of the Boss Room.
It wasn't just any hidden room, though. It was a hidden room nested behind another hidden room. William had only found this location because of his Navigation Talent, but Yuhe had somehow done the same without such an overpowered skill.
She had obviously visited several Dungeons before, since no first-timer would have found this type of hidden room.
"Now we can talk without anyone hearing us. I'm not letting you out just yet, though." Yuhe said as she opened her Space Ring and brought out several clear glass orbs. William didn't need Mana Mode active to know that they had none.
She started, "I never would have expected a Commoner from the Mortal Realms to push me that far. Especially not one the same age as me... You must have been through a lot."
Yuhe idly rolled one of the glass orbs on the floor like a cat lazily playing with yarn, "As much as I want to take advantage of our deal and have you be my slave for a week, I think I want to make another deal, if you're willing."
Her words were surprisingly kind despite how she normally acted. William listened quietly, not planning to say anything until Yuhe revealed her true thoughts.
"So instead of being my slave, I want you to help me recover the Spells that I've lost. If you do this for me, we can call it a draw and I'll even help everyone climb the Quake Dungeon."
William felt no reason to decline Yuhe's deal, nodding without hesitation. "Are you sure? You did win, after all."
"Hahahaha! Don't lie to me, you had so much strength in reserve, I felt like I was sparring with my Family Head!" Yuhe couldn't hold back her laughter. If she claimed to be stronger than her grandfather for landing a single blow, Yuhe would have embarrassed herself.
How was the fight against William any different?
