Chapter 25: Liu Wang
Adriel pondered her words briefly and quickly saw the benefits of acquiring the technique.
He didn't have any weapon yet and didn't palm on getting any soon so he would likely be engaging in hand to hand combats anyways, So having
"In that case I'll choose this" uttering a few words to Xanu, Adriel bent down to picked the scroll gracefully, while his eyes were glued on the stele as he inspected the names under the technique.
The were a lot of unfamiliar names under
"Who his this guy, his name seems to appear quite a lot" Adriel casually asked Xanu as he sized his future competition with little attention.
Xanu looked at the name he was pointing to and answered casually , "that's the Saint Son of our sect, he's the number one disciple in the sect both in status and in strength, I've never seen him before but people say he's so powerful that even sect elders have to bow when they see"
"is it that impressive " Adriel raised an eyebrow as he asked
Before Xanu could reply a cold snicker came form the side as if waiting for this moment to butt into their conversation.
"Have you been living under a rock all this while, how can you not know the great name of the Saint Son of skyfall or are you trying to get beat up for speaking nonsense?"
His voice was laced with mockery and obvious provocation.
Adriel turned to look in the direction the voice came from, then he saw a brawny man walking towards him while looking down at him in disdain with his tiny amber eyes around the size of peas.
The guy stood at six feet five at least , two heads taller than Adriel, his large muscular body reminded Adriel of a Big gorilla fierce beast he encountered at the celestial steps.
He wasn't hiding his aura so Adriel could tell from the nature of his spiritual energy that he was at the very peak of Martial Core realm, eight minor realms higher than Adriel.
Adriel felt like he didn't stand a chance if he and this guy fought head to head good thing he had other methods to defeat him though.
Adriel was confused on why the guy was interested in him and thought 'i just asked a question, is there any need to be so react this much' he thought but his face remained calm.
Xanu who was by Adriel's side felt deep displeasure at the tone used by the brawny man and could tell he was here to stirr up trouble, if it was before she would have run away without looking back when he appeared, her whole body was trembling warming her to leave but she gritted her teeth for the sake of her role model she yelled shakily, " who the hell are you to talk to disciple Adriel like that" saying that, she walked in front of Adriel and stood in between him and the giant man.
Adriel was surprised at her actions, he never thought this timid looking girl will actually stand up for him in such a scary situation, she actually looked cute doing it.
The brawny youth glanced at her, an angry glint flashed accessed his amber eyes when he noticed her low cultivation, " A puny 5th stage martial core outer disciple dare stand in my way? , do you think I don't dare attack you because we are at the sect library" his voice grew cold as he said, he was secretly excited he had a reason to attack now.
He couldn't use physical force against her in the Libray because it was against the rules for disciples to each other here.
But no one said anything about overwhelming disciples to submission with their aura alone.
So he unleashed his aura like a tidal wave to send Xanu and Adriel to her knees.
Xanu immediately felt like several huge boulders were placed on her shoulder, and she entire body to quiver even more, her knees suddenly felt too weak to carry the weight of her body and she instinctively wanted to go down.
But at the thought of her role model Adriel seeing her fall at the feet of the brawny man after declaring her will to protect him, she gritted her teeth even more and forced herself to hold on, "hang in there!" She shouted aloud.
It was unknown if she was comforting Adriel or herself.
, the pressure on her became deadlier by the second.
--------------
At this point everyone in the library first floor were attracted by the commotion, and were watching on while gloating especially the boys that were jealous when they saw all the girls staring at Adriel since he entered the first floor.
"Why is Liu Wang, the 5th ranked outer disciple picking on such a weak girl?" A bald head disciple asked his friend.
"Didn't you hear them now, the Jinx of skyfall just acted as if he didn't know who our Saint Son is, isnt that not putting the Saint son in his eyes, how could Liu Wang, a follower of the Saint son faction allow that!, Liu Wang was about to teach that Jinx a lesson just now but who knew that girl will jump in between them" The other disciple casually explained with his eyes still glued at the trembling Xanu.
The bald head man said in realization, "So that's how it is, She seems to have a beautiful face under all those hair but too bad she's going to loose all her face today, just because of that weak third elders son" he sighed while shaking is head.
"The third grand elder son is too weak that he can't even protect his fans" A young man mocked.
"How could he save her can't you see how daze he look
"That might not be the case, look rising outer disciple Falo Reid is walking towards them , he seems like he's going to her that slender girl in distress" somebody suddenly exclaimed!
Everyone turned to look and the saw the Red haired Falo Reid gracefully walking towards Xanu and Liu Wang.
Falo Reid wore a calm expression on his face as he walked but he was screaming in excitement in his heart and thanking his stars that he came to the library today, ever since he witness the scene of his crush carrying Adriel away after his heavenly tribulation he decided he was going to befriend Adriel so Adriel could introduce him to Fan Linxu.
The only problem was they were not acquainted at all and Falo Reid couldn't just approach him anyhow.
What better way was there to approach strangers than to express goodwill by offering a helping hand.
So now that he saw Liu Wang trying bullying Adriel and that purple cloth girl friend of his, Falo Reid decided to make a move!
Too bad for him though because Adriel didn't need his help.
How could he!
One thing he didn't fear right now was the aura anyone in the martial core realm after all his Spiritual power had the deterrence power of that of divine beast at the peak of Martial Core realm.
He could be considered the daddy of every one in his current realm when it came to aura, only those high ranked demon beast can contend with him but finding them was rare in the real world.
---------------------
Adriel wasn't at all affected by Liy Wang's aura instead he was looking at Xanu in front of him with interest.
The only reason Adriel didn't immediately make his move, was because he wanted to see how much timid Xanu could hold up, he didn't think she would last that long but to his surprise she actually forcefully stood her ground.
Only when Liu Wang was just two feet away from her did her body Sway and her knees gave in and was about to touched the floor.
"In the end my will is not has indomitable as Adriel' she sighed in her heart as she unwillingly crumbled under the Liu Wang's pressure
But suddenly, a wave of energy countless times more powerful than Liu Wang's swept over from behind her and covered her and she was instantly pressure she was facing disappeared as if it was never there.
"You have done well let your cool Idol take care of the rest" As she was gathering herself a voice as calming as zither reached her ears.
She instinctively nodded and the next moment.
Bam!
A loud crashing sound reached her ears , she quickly looked and she saw the terrifying Liu Wang lying face first on the floor unable to move as if a insurmountable force was keeping him down!.
She was shocked by the sudden turn if events.
'did he really do this' she gasped in her heart before turning to look at Adriel behind her with shining eyes
