Chapter 296 - 214: Testing Methods with the Two Girls (3)

In an instant, Li Xiang was bound completely.

Li Xiang hadn’t deployed his Black Mountain Profound Armor, nor was he wearing that sissy-looking Purple Mirage Armor. Instead, a faint golden light shimmered around his body as he slightly activated his Golden Light Shield Superpower.

Although Zhao Xueqing’s vines restrained him, their tiny thorns couldn’t pierce through.

Yao Yao shouted, "Hurry, use the thorns on him! Knock him out!" She looked positively eager.

Zhao Xueqing frowned. "I can’t break through."

No matter how hard she willed the thorns on the vines to attack, it was no use. With her current ability, the thorns could grow up to a centimeter long. Who could possibly withstand so many thorns piercing one centimeter into their flesh?

And yet, they simply couldn’t break through Li Xiang’s Defense.

Li Xiang carefully assessed the power of Zhao Xueqing’s Vine Technique, getting a rough estimate of its strength. It had a binding force of about eight to nine hundred kilograms, which was quite impressive. The small thorns were also incredibly sharp; an Extraordinary Being below Tier Three probably couldn’t withstand them if they were bound. It was a good thing he was Tier Seven.

Li Xiang asked, "Do you have any other abilities?"

Zhao Xueqing replied, "The vines can also sprout small purple flowers. The fragrance they release can make a person’s limbs go limp and cause them to fall unconscious."

"Then give it a try."

"Okay."

Seeing this, Yao Yao and Lei Xiaohui quickly pinched their noses.

Small purple flowers began to bloom all over the vines, quickly covering them in dense clusters. The fragrance assaulted the senses, enough to make one dizzy and weak. Although Yao Yao and Lei Xiaohui were pinching their noses, they accidentally inhaled a little and instantly went limp, collapsing.

But Li Xiang was completely unaffected. As a Tier Seven Transcendent with Minor Spirit Body Achievement, his circulating Spiritual Power created a faint, pure light around him that kept the fragrance at bay.

He could have used his two sets of Armor to protect himself by covering his mouth and nose, but he didn’t need to. His Spiritual Power alone pushed the fragrance away. It just went to show how vast the difference in their strength was.

At the same time, the small amount of fragrance he had inhaled earlier was quickly expelled by the circulation of his potent Spiritual Power.

Following that, Li Xiang flexed lightly, and Zhao Xueqing’s vines shattered inch by inch.

"You’re amazing!" Zhao Xueqing said in utter admiration. She had thought her abilities were quite impressive, but in front of Li Xiang, it was like child’s play.

A binding force of eight to nine hundred kilograms, and he snapped them with a simple flex, breaking free effortlessly.

Since the stone chamber was filled with the dense fragrance, Li Xiang picked up both Yao Yao and Lei Xiaohui and, leading Zhao Xueqing, went outside the cave.

Fortunately, the two women hadn’t inhaled much. The fresh night air revived them, and they soon woke up.

Besides, the fragrance only caused one’s limbs to go limp and induced unconsciousness; it wasn’t particularly toxic.

After waking up, under Li Xiang’s guidance, the two women used their Spiritual Power to purge the toxin, forcing out any lingering traces of the fragrance.

"You guys are so strong. I can’t beat either of you," Yao Yao said, sounding a little dejected.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were instantly delighted. ’You were egging us on about breaking his defense earlier,’ they thought. ’Now it’s your turn to feel a little discouraged!’

But on second thought, they had a realization. ’Even though our combat abilities might be stronger than Yao Yao’s, there’s still a gap between us. Her Superpower is so much more "practical"—it holds a fatal attraction for men. What even is Sister Yao’s Superpower? It’s an incredible ability that can make even Big Bro get that "pervy look," one that can get him totally hooked. Our Superpowers are amazing, but we really feel like we can’t "beat" Yao Yao in this regard.’

Of course, neither of them would say this aloud. They just secretly made a resolution: ’Since we can’t compete with her charm, we’ll have to help Big Bro more in the future. Hopefully, our contributions in other areas can surpass Yao Yao’s.’
