Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 193

193 Edward Makes Things Harder
However, he could not break free at all. The two gray-black energy threads were like two mountains, firmly imprisoning Xia’er.

“Detestable!” Xia’er said through gritted teeth.

He knew that he had already lost, and it was a crushing defeat. He almost lost his life!

“I can’t accept this!” He was unwilling to admit it. ‘How can I lose?!’ Xia’er roared in his heart. His eyes were red and filled with crazed killing intent.

The Soul Lion charged at him again, its sharp claws aimed at Xia’er’s neck. Xia’er’s expression changed, and he immediately raised his fin blade to block.

!!
Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and sparks flew in all directions.

He did not dare to believe it! Shen Fei could actually use martial cultivation as well? Moreover, his cultivation level was still as high as his beast taming cultivation. How was this possible?

“No!” Xia’er roared in despair.

The Soul Lion’s attacks were like a violent storm. The attacks were extremely condensed and completely blocked Xia’er’s route of escape.

“I won’t accept this!” Xia’er roared madly, waving his fin blade to fight back, but he was no match and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Xia’er’s emotions fluctuated as he watched the Fish Beast he chose get suppressed by the Soul Lion. His expression was very complicated.

Shen Fei laughed madly. “Don’t you see? I’m an existence that you can never surpass. The gap between us is too big.”

At this moment, Xia’er’s mental state had collapsed. The humiliation that Shen Fei dealt him was too deep, throwing his thoughts into chaos. There was an inexplicable resentment in his heart. Xia’er’s expression was also extremely unpleasant. Shen Fei’s words made him extremely angry.

Regardless, Xia’er was the one who had made his choice, and now he was being humiliated for it.

“Alright, that’s all for today. Shen Fei has won.”

At this moment, Aloy stepped in to smooth things over. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Xia’er.

“Xia’er, gather your things and go.”

Hearing this, Xia’er’s eyebrows furrowed, but he did not say anything against it. His face was filled with grief, unwillingness, resentment, and hatred. He clenched his fists and mumbled an agreement in a low voice.

..….

At this moment, Edward was in his study, watching everything in the hall through the computer in front of him. He smiled.

Edward waved to the butler. “Butler, call Shen Fei over.”

“Yes, Master.”

Then, the butler went into the main hall.

“That’s all for today. Next, we’ll prepare for the golf event. Please follow me to the backyard.”

The butler walked down from the second floor after saying this. When he passed by Shen Fei, he said unhurriedly, “Young Master Shen Fei, Lord Gelin would like you to go to his study on the second floor.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. “Thank you, butler.”

The butler shook his head as though saying “think nothing of it,” and led everyone out the hall and into the backyard.

…

Soon, Shen Fei found Edward in the second floor study. Shen Fei respectfully asked, “Mayor, you asked for me?”

“Yes.” Edward nodded. He then looked at Shen Fei and said indifferently, “I want to know your true strength. I need to know how strong you are now.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei was silent for a moment. Then, he began to mobilize the energy in his body and gathered it in his palms.

“I can’t be considered very strong,” Shen Fei said calmly.

Edward smiled. He did not expect this child to be so modest. He had seen Shen Fei’s strength in the hall earlier.

“Since you’re not willing to show your full strength, then let me test your limits,” Edward said with a smile. After saying this, Edward slowly extended a finger and pointed it at Shen Fei.

“Don’t tell me you want a duel with me?” Shen Fei’s face was filled with shock.

“Can’t I?” Edward asked with interest.

“Of course you can. After all, you’re an elder.” Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders.

“What?” When Edward heard Shen Fei agree to the duel, his expression immediately became strange.

‘Is he serious? He actually agreed to a duel with me? Although this brat has certain capabilities, the chances of him defeating me are very slim, isn’t it?’

“Come on! Let me see your full strength!” said Edward.

“Alright, please be careful,” Shen Fei chuckled. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes. His figure shot forward and instantly appeared in front of Edward. He then ruthlessly threw a punch at the mayor.

Edward was startled at first. He did not expect Shen Fei to be so decisive and fierce. It was quite astonishing.

Bang!

Shen Fei’s attack did not succeed as it was dispersed by a gentle force.

Edward looked at Shen Fei in bewilderment. “Oh? Not bad, you were able to resist thirty percent of my power.”

Shen Fei smiled and shook his head. In the next moment, he stomped his feet on the ground and leaped up, fiercely attacking Edward once more.

A terrifying energy fluctuation wreaked havoc in the mayor’s office. Every single one of Shen Fei’s attacks contained a shocking amount of power, causing explosions all around them. His aura was boundless and seemed to fill the air with piercing energy.

On the other hand, Edward calmly remained where he was. His clothes did not even move, which exemplified his powerful strength.

“I admit that you’re not that simple. And that’s a given since I place so much value in you. But it looks like that’s all you’ve got.”

As Edward spoke, his eyes suddenly glowed with a dark green light. Suddenly, the air around Shen Fei began to morph.

“What is this?” Shen Fei’s pupils contracted. The surrounding air seemed to be contracting around him, as if it was going to squeeze him into paste.

“Too slow!” Edward sneered and waved his right arm.

In an instant, countless of dark green energy condensed and turned into hundreds of sharp awls, rocketing toward Shen Fei.

Shen Fei’s pupils contracted. His reaction was extremely fast, and the moment the sharp awl approached, his figure disappeared. The sharp awl pierced through Shen Fei’s afterimage in the air with immense power.

“Heh.” Edward smirked. His right leg suddenly kicked out, sweeping toward Shen Fei.

“Crap!” Shen Fei’s expression changed drastically. His figure reappeared, but it was already too late.

“Is this the power you’ve been hiding? Your defense is too weak,” Edward said, shaking his head. He had expected this outcome, so he was not surprised.

However, Shen Fei’s face turned grim. Because this injury targeted his soul, the pain was unbearable. His face turned deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat as his muscles twitched.

Still, Shen Fei clenched his teeth and persevered.

“Your will is quite strong.” Edward was somewhat surprised. His attack had affected Shen Fei for five full seconds. Logically speaking, Shen Fei should not have been able to hold on for such a long time. But reality rarely gave the desired outcome.

“Let’s continue,” Shen Fei said coldly.

“Hmph.” Edward snorted. However, his target had also changed. It had shifted to Shen Fei’s mental energy.

His body emitted a strange aura.

Rustle…

In an instant, thousands of dark green cones of energy appeared out of thin air. Upon seeing this, Shen Fei’s expression changed drastically, and he seemed to flicker away in an instant… However, he realized that his speed was completely useless in front of these dark green energy cones.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of the dark green energy cones shot into Shen Fei’s body.

The intense pain caused Shen Fei’s face to turn pale, and his body trembled.
