Just Wanting to Live Well, But Surpassing the Protagonist – 13 The Style of a Valkyrie
Ye Yong notices that Wu Xue is unhappy and quickly looks away, wiping the dust off Yi Bai’s face in two or three strokes.
“I’m done resting! Thank you, Senior Apprentice Sister Yi Bai!” Wu Xue is very sensible. She didn’t say anything just now, only speaking after Ye Yong stopped.
Firstly, both current and future training requires Yi Bai’s help. Secondly, after spending more time with Yi Bai these past few days, she likes Yi Bai quite a bit. Just as she doesn’t want her own little bit of happiness to be disturbed , she also doesn’t want to disturb others.
If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that her young master is too outstanding and too gentle.
“Alright, get ready.” Yi Bai doesn’t notice where Ye Yong’s gaze was at, because she’s completely immersed in Junior Apprentice Brother Ye’s gentle actions. Although she regrets that it ended so quickly, she’s still very happy inside.
The two return to their original positions, Wu Xue holding a sword, Yi Bai holding a brush, and Ye Yong standing at a distance, observing.
What’s different from before is that Wu Xue gives off a different feeling. Ye Yong can’t say exactly what it is, but anyway, isn’t it very much like the style of a valkyrie?
Yi Bai thinks it’s because Ye Yong is present, and Wu Xue wants to show off. She was just about to go easy on her, but then she considered Wu Xue’s personality. Doing so wouldn’t be helping her, but rather looking down on her, so she puts away that thought.
With a stroke of her brush, an ink shadow of a beast appears.
Although Yi Bai doesn’t understand the training methods of warriors, she knows one universal principle, which is gradual progress.
She doesn’t ask Wu Xue to kill the ink shadow. After all, the difference in realm is there. She only needs Wu Xue to adapt to the ink shadow’s attacks, respond accordingly, and hold on for a certain amount of time. From Facing a single bull ink shadow yesterday, gradually increasing to four today, Wu Xue’s growth is very obvious.
The attack patterns of the four ink shadows also have a certain regularity and tacit understanding.
The bull acts as a vanguard, forcibly making Wu Xue dodge, changing her position. The monkey sneak attacks when Wu Xue changes position and her body has an opening. The bird’s attacks are relatively free, attacking whenever it has the chance. The last humanoid ink shadow that throws bombs is responsible for attracting Wu Xue’s attention, blocking her position, and giving the bull time to adjust its direction.
Once the bull charges again, Wu Xue’s rhythm will be disrupted. The monkey sneak attacks, the bird swoops down, and the ranged creep throws bombs. This is also the reason why she can only handle one round of attacks before being knocked to the ground .
But this time, the situation is clearly different.
The bull charges over, and Wu Xue dodges. The monkey sneak attacks, and she quickly turns around and unleashes an incredibly smooth three-hit combo. The monkey doesn’t even have time to adjust its posture before it’s cut apart. The bird wants to help, but it’s too late. It swoops down and almost gets its head chopped off.
The ranged ink shadow frantically throws bombs. Wu Xue throws her sword at it. It quickly dodges to the side. Each ink shadow has its own characteristics. This ranged creep is clearly not good at close combat, and it’s not very fast either. After dodging the incoming weapon, Wu Xue is already in front of it, catching her sword.
There’s a slightly awkward eye contact, and in the next second, the ranged ink shadow is cut in half, disappearing into the ground.
With two of the most annoying ink shadows gone, Wu Xue’s pressure is greatly reduced. She looks at the bull charging over and doesn’t dodge, choosing to fight head-on. With a leap, she flips onto its back.
At this moment, there seems to be a fierce white tiger soul roaring in Wu Xue’s eyes. She raises her sword and stabs down fiercely. Her previous attacks could only scratch the bull, but now, they pierce through its defenses. With continuous stabs, the bull’s spiritual energy rapidly dissipates, and it soon turns into a puddle of ink and disappears. The only enemy left is a bird.
The bird doesn’t have much intelligence. Its combat instincts prevent it from running away. With its companions gone, it can’t find an opportunity. It just flies in the air, in a stalemate with Wu Xue.
“…” Everything happened too quickly, and Wu Xue’s reaction speed and attack power far surpassed the last time. Yi Bai is simply stunned.
It should be known that Wu Xue is only at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, and her opponents are four at the second level of Foundation Establishment. Even if the opponents don’t have intelligence, their cultivation, combat instincts, and tacit cooperation are all there. Yi Bai originally thought that Wu Xue being able to withstand one round of attacks was already a sign of great talent. Now, she really didn’t expect her to kill three in one go.
When did warriors become so strong?
Yi Bai can’t understand. Even if Ye Yong is here, causing Wu Xue to subconsciously want to show off, this result is still too outrageous.
Ye Yong isn’t surprised. Although Wu Xue is only at the Qi Condensation stage now, the blood of a valkyrie flowing in her body isn’t fake. She still has a lot of potential that hasn’t been activated. However, Ye Yong exchanged for a special energy when she was body tempering, awakening the white tiger soul power in her body in advance. As long as the soul power is maintained, her abilities in all aspects will have a great boost for a certain period of time.
Killing a few ink shadows that aren’t even considered living beings isn’t difficult.
“Retreat.” Yi Bai withdraws the bird, and her gaze at Wu Xue is clearly different now.
She even has a thought, which is that as a heaven’s favorite, Ye Yong can’t possibly bring an ordinary warrior servant girl with him. Wu Xue must have some extraordinary qualities.
“Young Master! Senior Apprentice Sister Yi Bai! Did you see that!” Wu Xue runs over excitedly, even forgetting to use honorifics.

In fact, she herself didn’t know how she did it. She just didn’t want the young master to see her embarrass. For some reason, she felt that Moying’s speed seemed to have slowed down. If she hadn’t thrown it out and caught it before it landed, with incredible speed, she would have thought that Yi Bai had gone easy on her.
“Not bad.” Ye Yong patted Wu Xue’s head. “Let’s stop here for today. Shi Meng and Xiao Huan are here.”
“Is it because of body-forging?”
“Yes. It should be almost over by now.”
“What are you talking about?” Yi Bai remembered that Qin Shi Meng seemed to have an Icy Heart Physique, so she was accepted as a true disciple by an elder of the Sword Pavilion Hall who also had an Icy Heart Physique and was at the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation realm. Didn’t she already refine her body? As for that Xiao Huan, Yi Bai also had some impression of her. She was a mortal servant girl with no spiritual power fluctuations at all. She either didn’ t have spiritual roots or had low-level spiritual roots, so she wasn’t suitable for cultivation.
“If Senior Sister Bai is interested, you can come and have a look. You can also have dinner with us tonight.” Ye Yong chose Xiao Huan only because she had a relatively rare physique, not because she was a sacred or immortal physique that couldn’t be exposed. Besides, he would need Yi Bai to train Wu Xue in the future, so it wouldn’t hurt to get closer to her. It wasn’t because she had grown up at all.
“Okay!” Ye Yong’s invitation made Yi Bai feel like she had become much closer to him.
As expected, Junior Brother Ye has me in his heart.
——Ye Yong’s residence
The body-forging was already at its final stage. Xiao Huan’s physical and mental state were both very bad. Qin Shi Meng couldn’t do anything but gently stroke her head, giving her comfort and encouragement.
In order to obtain a physique that surpassed that of ordinary people, this stage was unavoidable. Only by overcoming it would she have hope in the future.
Fortunately, Xiao Huan persisted in the end and didn’t give up halfway. The medicinal liquid gradually stopped boiling, and the pain on her face eased a lot. Hearing Qin Shi Meng said that the body-forging was over, she opened her eyes and hugged her young lady, crying.
Only those who had experienced the pain and suffering of body-forging would know.
Martial artists and cultivators were held in high regard by mortals, but only they knew how much pain and hardship they had endured on the road to becoming stronger. Most of the time, the glory that others saw on the surface was inseparable from the effort and maintenance behind the scenes. It was a pity that most people would not pay attention to these things, only caring about the surface.
