There was none of the anticipated commotion, nor any agitation. The silence around was so profound that the drop of a pin could have been heard clearly. The eeriness of the quietness took even Elder Miao by surprise, leaving him unresponsive. After Luo Qing’s outbreak of combat skills, everyone thought that this female mage couldn’t possibly lift the 1000-jin lead gold bull. But she did lift it, and not just merely lifting it, it appeared to be even easier than when she lifted 500 jin. The onlookers from Wuxuan Wuji Hall felt as if thousands of grass mud horses were trampling through their minds. Damn, could she be any more monstrous? Gu Feng and Qi Ye were petrified. Gu Feng was secretly considering that Yun Sheng’s most monstrous trait wasn’t her alchemy but her strength. In the future, he figured he must avoid her at all costs; a claw power of 1000 jin could reduce him to dust instantly. Underneath the green robe, Qi’s expression was inscrutable as he sized up Yun Sheng thoroughly from head to toe without being able to figure out the reason behind her strength. On the Inner Hall Training Ground, the most composed was apparently Yun Sheng herself. This was her first time trying Bobbie’s Combined Battle Skill Two, and she was secretly thrilled: Bobbie was reliable this time, but how strong exactly is this critter’s qi power? Carrying this 1000-jin thing on her head felt like nothing at all. "Are we still comparing?" Yun Sheng casually asked Elder Miao while holding the lead gold elephant, causing him to finally snap back to reality with an ’oh’ sound. "How about we compare two-handed? One in the left hand and one in the right?" Yun Sheng mused. To Bobbie, one lead gold bull or two, it seemed like it wouldn’t make any difference. Upon hearing Yun Sheng’s words, the martial artists from Wuxuan Wuji Hall felt an urge to keel over in utter shock. How could anyone compete with this? Luo Qing’s expression was priceless; her face turning red, and she found herself unable to utter a single word. Two hands holding 2000 jin is something perhaps only the top five ranked upperclassmen of the Inner Hall could achieve. "No more competition, I admit defeat," Luo Qing managed to say with difficulty. "Oh, you admit defeat? Then, as per our agreement you should..." Yun Sheng gently tossed aside the lead gold elephant and put on a smile full of ill intent. "Vacate the dormitory, and stir up no more trouble from now on," Luo Qing closed her eyes, accepting a total and bitter defeat. Though Luo Qing was skeptical about whether Yun Sheng had used some clever scheme, neither she nor Elder Miao could find any trace of cheating; Yun Sheng still had her magic lock on. "That’s for the best. It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now," Yun Sheng shook off her hands and winked at Gu Feng and the other two onlookers amid the crowd. Just as she was about to walk through the crowd, the surrounding martial artists uniformly stepped back all at once. With each step Yun Sheng took, the martial artists retreated a step. In an instant, martial artists from both the Inner and Outer Halls had created a considerable distance from Yun Sheng. If anyone had harbored any malicious intentions against the three mages from the Royal Magic Academy before, after this competition, not one dared to provoke trouble again. Joking aside, everyone had thought they were up against a little white rabbit, only to discover that she was instead a fierce mother Tyrannosaurus, possibly of the fire-breathing kind at that. It would take a good while to adjust to this drastic change. After Yun Sheng and the others left, the crowd gradually dispersed. Luo Qing stood alone on the training ground, her face downturned. The hazy night made it impossible to see what was on her mind at the moment. "Luo Qing, don’t blame yourself. That female trainee is indeed extraordinary; she was invited by the Deputy Hall Master to assist the Martial Arts Hall. Losing to her does not bring shame. Tonight, you have been defeated but with honor, and tomorrow, you will move into the Inner Hall," Elder Miao cleaned up the scene and approached the still lingering Luo Qing, offering reassurance. Those who can enter Wuxuan Wuji Hall are without a doubt among the best martial artists within the territory of Great Zhou. Even though Luo Qing was an Outer Pavilion Female Warrior, this time she revealed astonishing talent and, through a mishap, became a trainee of the Inner Hall. Hearing that she was joining the Inner Hall, Luo Qing, who should have been happy, showed no joy. Instead, there was a trace of worry in her eyes. She opened her mouth wanting to say something, but Elder Miao did not give her the opportunity to speak further. After Yun Sheng returned to her dormitory, she indeed found it empty. The female warriors who had lived there had conscientiously emptied out the dormitory. The new dormitory Yun Sheng was in had an elegant environment, ample space, and complete furnishings, offering conditions far superior to when she was at the Magic Academy. Yun Sheng returned Bobbie to the Linglong Beast Tower, where Little Black and the newly summoned Ant King were quietly cultivating. With this treasure, she no longer had to worry about her Demon Beasts’ cultivation. Just as Yun Sheng was about to start meditating, a knocking sound came from outside the door. Upon opening the door, it turned out to be Luo Qing. "You’re not unsatisfied with the defeat and seeking another challenge, are you?" Yun Sheng looked at Luo Qing displeasedly. "Tomorrow, I will enter the Inner Hall for study. I was too reckless this time; I should not have competed with you," Luo Qing was completely without the arrogance she had earlier. Coming to find Yun Sheng, she had done so after careful consideration. "From what you’re saying, it seems you don’t want to join the Inner Hall. That’s strange. Lei Hu told me that whether it’s the facilities or the environment, including the Combat Skills that can be learned, the Inner Hall is much better than the Outer Hall. Moreover, once you join the Inner Hall, you can choose to directly join the Great Zhou Army and immediately receive the title of a Military School Officer of the seventh rank or higher," When Yun Sheng saw Luo Qing’s posture, realizing she was not there to make trouble, she stepped aside to let her in. Yun Sheng also noticed that Luo Qing’s true strength was not just the twenty-first rank in the Outer Hall. There must be some hardship that kept her staying in the Outer Hall. "If I stay in the Outer Hall, I can look after the other sisters here. If I leave, they will..." Luo Qing hesitated. Wuxuan Wuji Hall is not as simple as outsiders perceive it. Before Yun Sheng’s arrival, Luo Qing had always been the boss among the female warriors. Whenever female warriors from the Outer Hall faced issues, it was always Luo Qing who stepped forward. But now, with Luo Qing’s move into the Inner Hall, the female warriors of the Outer Hall would suffer. Yun Sheng, being quick-witted, connected the dots with what she saw on the training grounds today - Zhang Zipo’s indecent attempts on the female warriors - and understood the gist, "Are you worried that after you leave, Zhang Zipo will be even more unrestrained towards the female warriors? Such a villain, why have you not reported him directly to the Martial Arts Hall." Zhang Zipo’s behavior is not really a secret within the Martial Arts Hall. "Do you think Wuxuan Wuji Hall is as simple as you believe? I... I have a good sister named Lian Xiang. She joined Wuxuan Wuji Hall with me five years ago, and we grew very close, lived in the same dormitory and practiced Combat Skills together," Luo Qing fell into reminiscence, and tears seemed to glimmer in her eyes. Luo Qing herself did not know why she would divulge these secrets to Yun Sheng out of the blue; she only knew that this secret had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
