Yin Lulu felt a bit regretful; before, her mind was focused solely on killing Su Changfeng and she didn’t really notice Chen Qingqing. Since she wanted to kill Su Changfeng, naturally she wouldn’t spare Chen Qingqing either.

However, once Su Changfeng was dead, killing Chen Qingqing was just a matter of time; she could take her time.

"Dad, if I just commit to training seriously, that woman wouldn’t have any place here," Yin Lulu said disdainfully.

Yin Zhengyuan was a bit helpless. Regardless of whether she trained seriously or not, the facts were as they were. In this world, how many hypothetical scenarios exist anyway? However, even if Yin Lulu didn’t train hard, it didn’t matter. As long as he was around, he could protect her. Besides, he couldn’t bear to see his precious daughter suffer from training.

"My dear daughter is always right," Yin Zhengyuan said with a doting smile.

By this time, the match on the stage had already begun. The two were going head to head, fighting intensely. When faced with the opponent’s highly skilled attacks, Chen Qingqing could only defend with her body.

This was mainly because Chen Qingqing wasn’t very adept at reaction and agility, so she had no way to cope with the opponent’s attacks.

Because of this situation, Chen Qingqing felt somewhat angry. Her physical condition certainly couldn’t compare to Su Changfeng’s, and each time she got hit by the opponent, it had a significant impact on her.

If Su Changfeng hadn’t warned her in advance, she would probably be eager to unleash all her strength to fight back right now.

"She can only take hits passively. I thought she was quite capable!" After seeing Chen Qingqing’s performance, Yin Lulu said with some disdain.

However, Yin Zhengyuan couldn’t help but frown beside her. He observed keenly that although Chen Qingqing seemed to be passively taking hits, she was clearly deliberately suppressing her own strength. But why would she do that?

"Dad, what’s so good about this? She’s such a useless person!" Yin Lulu said with some dissatisfaction when Yin Zhengyuan didn’t agree with her words.

Yin Zhengyuan knew well that his daughter’s character was prideful and deliberately mocking others, but Chen Qingqing’s strength was right there; it wasn’t something that could be diminished with just a few words.

"Lulu, she’s obviously intentionally suppressing her abilities, which is why she looks so passive to outsiders," Yin Zhengyuan explained.

Upon hearing this, Yin Lulu felt even more uncomfortable and said, "Dad, what do you mean by that? Look at her. She’s clearly incompetent. Why are you siding with an outsider? Do you have your eyes on her?"

Hearing Yin Lulu’s unreasonable words, Yin Zhengyuan could only smile wryly to himself.

By this time, Chen Qingqing on the stage was already getting a bit impatient and subconsciously looked down at Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng also knew that Chen Qingqing was probably reaching her limit, with little patience left, and nodded at her.

When Chen Qingqing saw Su Changfeng’s gesture, a hint of a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Yin Zhengyuan, who was watching from afar, noticed too, and his expression became more serious as he said, "She’s about to unleash her true strength."

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Qingqing, who had been taking hits passively all along, suddenly had a shift in her aura, ignoring the opponent’s attacks. Since she couldn’t win by technique and speed, she would expose all her weaknesses and seek a chance to defeat the enemy in one move.

"The match is over." The examiner couldn’t help but curl their lips when they noticed Chen Qingqing seemed to have given up resisting.

Bang!

With a loud crash, the examiner was sent flying, directly off the stage. All the changes happened in an instant. Not to mention the participants, even the spectators were all stunned.

Chen Qingqing clapped her hands, looking over with a smile at the corner of her mouth: "Finally over. I’ve let you hit me for this long; it’s my turn now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qingqing very straightforwardly walked off the stage. Only then did everyone gradually come back to their senses.

"Is it... is it over?"

"That... that was an Earth Level expert, how is it possible?"

"What does this mean? She can already defeat Earth Level experts?"

"No way, am I dreaming?"

For a moment, an uproar of astonishment rose, and everyone looked at Chen Qingqing in disbelief, as if they were dreaming, lacking any sense of reality.

One must know that in the eyes of Xuan-level members, Earth Level experts are an insurmountable existence. Even transitioning smoothly from Xuan-level to Earth Level requires a long time to reach the strength of an Earth Level.

But Chen Qingqing, in the test, actually defeated an Earth Level expert. This kind of ability was truly frightening.

Chen Qingqing returned to Su Changfeng’s side and, noticing everyone’s gazes on her, stuck out her tongue a bit awkwardly and said, "Brother Changfeng, did I overdo it?"

"No, no, you took quite a few hits honestly," Su Changfeng said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Chen Qingqing finally felt relieved.

In the distance, Yin Zhengyuan had strong shock in his eyes. After all these years, Tuo Shi had never encountered such a newcomer. Even Guan Shan, who was once called a proud son of heaven, never showed such strength.

But this woman, just a maid beside Su Changfeng, had such strength, let alone Su Changfeng himself.

Now, Yin Zhengyuan’s curiosity was completely piqued, and he was even feeling a bit impatient.

"Now do you understand? If she hadn’t deliberately suppressed her strength, she would have defeated the examiner long ago," Yin Zhengyuan said to Yin Lulu.

At this point, Yin Lulu was still a bit in shock. She’d always prided herself on her status, thinking she was above others and the world revolved around her. But what good was her status compared to strength? She wasn’t even as good as a maid. With such self-awareness, what right did she have to be arrogant in front of Su Changfeng?

At this moment, Yin Lulu finally realized how painful it was to lack strength. If she had another choice, she might commit to training seriously.

However, even if she did, it wouldn’t make a difference. After all, in terms of strength, no matter her background and how many experts could help her, she still couldn’t compare with Su Changfeng.

Of course, the same was true for Guan Shan.

At this moment, the once-proud son of heaven Guan Shan just felt a burning shame on his face. All of his pride, at this moment before Chen Qingqing, seemed so vulnerable.

He had once set a record, persisting through nearly thirty moves when advancing to Earth Level, which was viewed as the highest record in Tuo Shi’s ranking tournaments.

But he never imagined that Chen Qingqing could defeat an Earth Level examiner, making the gap between them painfully obvious.

What made him feel most despair was that this was merely Chen Qingqing’s strength. Su Changfeng’s strength, after all, far surpassed Chen Qingqing’s!
