--- Chapter 92 ---

After they finished the quick breakfast, they moved to the backyard, where Yu Ning'er and Zhu Zhuqing instantly walked in without caring for each other's gaze.

"What do you two think?" Yunlong asked while calmly leaning on the wall.

Chu Xiaoyu and Bai Xue calmly observed the backyard. They had perceived Zhu Zhuqing's strength when she entered the residence, so they can pretty much know that she won't be able to win against Yu Ning'er.

"Yu Ning'er would be the winner..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly answered.

"Mm, Xiaoyu is right." Bai Xue nodded her head and agreed with her fellow maid's words.

"Even though Zhu Zhuqing isn't bad in my opinion, Yu Ning'er is just on a different level, so this match pretty much would become a one-sided fight." So she naturally continued, which made Yunlong smile for some reason.

"Hmm, Is that so...?" Yunlong calmly responded while looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who calmly stared at Yu Ning'er without an ounce of fear in her eyes.

"Are you two ready?" He exclaimed, to which Yu Ning'er and Zhu Zhuqing responded with a nod.

They shifted their gazes to Yunlong for a moment and looked back at each other's eyes. "Fight!" Yunlong's voice echoed, and both of them moved forward.

Yu Ning'er didn't activate her martial soul and launched herself forward with a slight spirit power enhancement, which covered her right fist with a yellow hue.

She punched her fist to Zhu Zhuqing's face, who stared at her with a pair of widened eyes.

'She's fast..!' Zhu Zhuqing thought while dodging her fist with an agile movement to the side, but suddenly another fist came to her stomach.

'How?!' She frowned while crossing her arms to block the incoming fist.

Bam!

Zhu Zhuqing's body got launched a few meters away, which left her speechless because from that first contact, her arms instantly became numb.

"Strong..." Zhu Zhuqing quietly muttered while looking at her arms, which were shaking a little.

'What should I do?' She immediately thought because the difference between their strength is higher than what she expected.

Yu Ning'er released a small breath from her mouth and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with her eyes, which flickered with bolts of yellow lightning.

"Use your martial soul." Yu Ning'er warned Zhu Zhuqing because she didn't want to end this fight too fast.

Zhu Zhuqing, who felt the air around Yu Ning'er vibrated, immediately activated her martial soul, which made her grow a pair of cat ears, razor-sharp claws, and a slender cat tail.

Her eyes also transformed into a pair of cat eyes, which quietly stared at Yu Ning'er with a vibrant brightness.

"Cat, huh?" Yu Ning'er reacted with a frown on her face because Cat is her most disliked animal.

"Hahaha... Sparky Rat met her natural enemy." Bai Xue's laughter suddenly echoed, which made her mouth twitch in annoyance.

"Shut up, apple head." Yu Ning'er gave Bai Xue a quick sharp gaze.

Bai Xue quickly covered her mouth, but Yu Ning'er still could hear faint snickers out of her annoying mouth. "I will bonk that apple head later..." She muttered while looking back at Zhu Zhuqing, who had already entered a defensive stance.

Yu Ning'er flashed toward Zhu Zhuqing and launched a thunderous kick to her head, which the catgirl dodged with her incredibly fast yet smooth movements.

'I can still dodge her attacks.' So Zhu Zhuqing calmly thought while dodging another kick from Yu Ning'er, but to her surprise, when Yu Ning'er suddenly increased her pace.

Bam! Cough!

A kick flashed and hit her abdomen hard, which made her audibly cough and whimpered in pain.

'This isn't the speed of a normal spirit elder...!?' Then, Zhu Zhuqing activated her spirit ring ability, showcasing her spirit ring configuration, which made everyone in the area frown a little.

The spirit rings were floating around Zhu Zhuqing's body; the first one is yellow, but the second is surprisingly a yellow with a shade of purple.

'Her second spirit ring is almost reaching the one thousand years old phase.' Yunlong thought while looking at Zhu Zhuqing with a slightly surprised expression.

'My presence certainly changed this world, huh.' He suddenly pondered with a complicated expression on his face.

"Yu Ning'er would still win..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly stated that even if Zhu Zhuqing's second spirit ring is bizarre from the spirit configuration standard, Yunlong and his maids weren't ordinary soul masters.

Bai Xue only nodded her head when hearing Chu Xiaoyu's statement and looked at Yu Ning'er with an amused expression. "How much did you want to hold your strength back, Yu Ning'er?" She commented.

Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly became illusory, and a bunch of shadows suddenly appeared in the backyard, which surprisingly was her afterimages.

Yu Ning'er calmly closed her eyes and raised her left hand to the air, which suddenly released a ball of growling yellow lightning. "Disperse." She threw the ball to the ground.

The ball immediately shattered when hitting the ground and released a wave of yellow lightning around her.

Because of this, the backyard immediately became clean from the afterimages, but Zhu Zhuqing's silhouette nowhere to be seen as she seems to have vanished from the area.

"You are surprisingly so easy to read." Yu Ning'er casually commented and raised her gaze to the skies, where she could see Zhu Zhuqing stared at her with a pair of cat eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't care about her provocation and calmly stretched her cat claws, which glowed in purple lights.

"Massacre."

A wave of intense blinding purple light was launched from Zhu Zhuqing's claws, an energy-based attack that was strong enough to injure an ordinary thousand-year-old spirit beast. Still, Yu Ning'er calmly reacted to this attack by calling her martial soul out.

Yu Ning'er pointed her thunder spear to the skies and calmly chanted, "Discharge."

Yellow lightning gathered on her spear tip and instantly formed a small revolving ball, which exploded a second later.

Boom!

The attack collided with each other and created a small explosion, which launched Zhu Zhuqing away into a wall.

Cough!

Zhu Zhuqing once again coughed, but her eyes were still shining with a burning fighting will.

"Give up?" Yu Ning'er calmly looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a calm expression on her face.

"I won't give up." Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the wall and suddenly smiled for some reason.

She pointed her finger to the ground, making Yu Ning'er frown because she suddenly felt another presence below her foot.

'Clone?' Yu Ning'er thought.

Boom!

Another wave of blinding light suddenly comes out of the ground, which Yu Ning'er easily countered by swinging her thunder spear downward. "Discharge." She chanted with an indifferent tone.

Boom! Crack!

The ground exploded, and a cloud of dust was flying around them.

Zhu Zhuqing used this chance to sneak up and quietly attack Yu Ning'er from behind. "Massacre." She swiped her claw forward and launched another blinding purple light.

"Let's end this." Yu Ning'er shook her head and slapped Zhu Zhuqing's attack down with her spear like it was nothing.

Yu Ning'er looked at Zhu Zhuqing and pointed the thunder spear to her throat, making the cat girl look at her with widened eyes.

"You could try to dodge this, but I doubt you'd survive." Yu Ning'er stated while a small lightning ball formed on her spear tip.

Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and released a heavy sigh. "I... Give up." She reluctantly said while gritting her teeth.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Yunlong clapped his hands and nodded his head in satisfaction. "Good fight, you two." He said with a smile on his face.

"Young master!" Yu Ning'er suddenly shifted her gaze to Yunlong and bowed her body at him.

"Yes, Ning'er?" Yunlong calmly responded while looking at her.

"Please let me train her!" Yu Ning'er proposed, which left Zhu Zhuqing speechless.

"Hmm? Aren't you the one who opposed her a moment ago?" Yunlong tilted his head and looked at Yu Ning'er with a gentle expression.

"That was because of a slight jealousy in my heart," Yu Ning'er truthfully answered.

"But... After the fight, I knew that she would become one of us." She calmly continued while shifting her gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, who looked at her with a confused expression.

Yu Ning'er looked back at Yunlong and firmly said, "So, please let me train her."

Yunlong pondered something and nodded his head. "Well, you could train her." He replied.

"I won't let you down..!" Yu Ning'er suddenly released out a grin, which somehow made Zhu Zhuqing feel a shiver in her spine.
