CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 281: THE PRINCESS’S CLOTHES BURST?

"Heh, speaking behind a woman’s back, you sound confident, even your tone is different now."

Princess Huan Die sneered.

"However, the arrogant will ultimately pay the price for their arrogance!"

She then looked at Princess Bai Lu playfully and said,

"Sister Bai Lu, if he loses, you wouldn’t interfere, would you?"

Princess Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Of course not."

She had confidence in him. After all, the first time they met, she almost got defeated by him...

"Good!"

Princess Huan Die let out a cold laugh, her body suddenly bursting with a magnificent nine-colored light, like an aurora that enveloped the sky.

Within the nine-colored light appeared a gigantic nine-colored butterfly, flapping its wings as it dove towards Jin Zhi.

"Hmph!"

Jin Zhi snorted coldly, releasing a surging wave of energy that stained the sky red like a blood-colored ocean. A True Dragon emerged from the ocean, crashing towards the nine-colored butterfly.

"Boom!"

The intense collision engulfed everyone’s vision with glaring light, while at the same time, Princess Huan Die leapt into the air, charging towards Jin Zhi.

"Like I’d be scared of you!"

Jin Zhi refused to be outdone, rushing forward to meet her, and the two of them engaged in a fierce clash in the sky.

"Bang bang bang bang!!"

Each collision unleashed an endless brilliance, as if nuclear bombs were exploding one after another, obscuring the scene within.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Within the light, Jin Zhi and Princess Huan Die started the most primitive hand-to-hand combat, confronting each other with sheer physical power.

The Beast Race was renowned for their formidable physical bodies, and the Heaven-Sundering Butterfly, being a super bloodline in the Beast Race, meant Princess Huan Die’s physique was self-evidently strong.

As a Golden Dragon, Jin Zhi’s physical strength was comparable to that of a Divine Body, equally terrifying.

Thus, the battle was incredibly intense, with both parties shocked by each other’s strength.

It’s truly unwise to underestimate people of the world!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The fight continued relentlessly; neither side defended, battling fiercely, gradually leaving blood streaks on their bodies.

But overall, Jin Zhi was slightly at a disadvantage—not because he was weaker, but due to a disadvantage in physical attributes.

Punches landed directly.

His opponent’s punch hit his chest, delivering a ferocious force that nearly penetrated his ribs, shaking his internal organs.

Yet, his punch on the same spot of his opponent was somehow absorbed, making it feel like hitting cotton...

However, he wasn’t flustered.

Because he had identified his opponent’s weak spot—every time he hit that chest area, though the damage seemed minor, his opponent would subtly blush, and her breathing would momentarily become irregular. Though brief, in a battle between experts, a moment could decide victory or defeat!

"Thud! Thud!"

Both sides struck each other’s chest again, causing violent tremors, and were sent flying backwards simultaneously.

Princess Huan Die’s face flushed red, gasping again, with a momentary disruption in her aura.

"It’s time!"

Right at this moment, Jin Zhi’s eyes suddenly gleamed as he transformed into his True Dragon form, whipping his mighty tail at her.

"Celestial Wings Protection!"

Princess Huan Die’s expression changed dramatically, hastily activating her body-protecting divine techniques, with two massive colorful butterfly wings shielding her.

However,

Her internal power was in disarray, significantly weakening her divine techniques’ effectiveness, leaving her unable to withstand Jin Zhi’s long-prepared all-out attack.

"Bang—"

With a loud explosion, the butterfly wings shattered like fragile glass, and the golden dragon tail continued its assault on Princess Huan Die.

"Puff!"

Princess Huan Die spewed blood as she was sent flying, with a flurry of shredded cloth resembling butterflies floating gently to the ground.

"Gasp! Her clothes exploded!"

"An opportunity!"

"We can’t miss this!"

The distant trainee disciples, eyes wide open, instinctively stood up from their crouched positions!

However, they were quickly disappointed.

They found that Princess Huan Die was standing up slowly, clutching her chest. Although her outer skirt had exploded, she still wore a close-fitting battle dress underneath that looked thin yet was unyielding.

"Sigh, I knew it!"

"These big shots are never sincere..."

"False hope, forget it."

They sighed repeatedly, shaking their heads and returning to their crouched positions, remaining motionless in the corners.

At this moment, Princess Huan Die bit her red lip, looking at Jin Zhi with a trace of resentment, and whispered,

"You win."

Her vibrant red lips, stained with a hint of blood, seemed even more alluring, with a touch of vulnerability, evoking pity.

"Thanks for letting me win."

Jin Zhi said blandly.

Even though he didn’t manage to destroy her wings as previously mentioned, shredding the dress was enough.

"If only you had known this earlier, there was no need..."

Princess Bai Lu let out a light hum, intent on a few sarcastic remarks, but after seeing Princess Huan Die’s expression, she suddenly felt a sense of caution, quickly saying, "Brother Jin, Junior Brother Qin, let’s go!"

With that, she swiftly left with the two.

And Princess Huan Die stood there, her eyes bewildered, somewhat wistful, lost in thought.

"Princess, should we kill him?"

The black-robed Martial Emperor whispered.

"No!"

Princess Huan Die instinctively shouted.

Then her expression returned to calm, and she explained lightly, "A loss is a loss. I can accept both winning and losing. If I seek revenge after losing, it would be petty, not only disgracing my father but also affecting my state of mind."

The black-robed Martial Emperor was slightly surprised.

The usually proud and cold princess, even a bit extreme, had such an understanding; it took him by surprise.

"However, this is a good thing."

The loyal Guardian thought comfortingly.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of Princess Huan Die’s defeat by Jin Zhi caused quite a stir in the Holy Institute, and then... nothing followed.

No one dared to challenge him.

No one came to ingratiate themselves either.

After all, the talented individuals who could join the Holy Institute had great pride and would not easily flatter others—unless it was worth it.

And Qin Zi, after suffering setbacks in the previous battle, profoundly realized his lack of strength.

It once brought him much shame.

He originally thought he could sweep across all heroes.

In reality, within the same realm, indeed no one could defeat him, but... others wouldn’t play by the same rules!

Being overwhelmed by superior cultivation left him awkward.

With his unparalleled physique, he used to think talent could overcome everything, but when others’ talents were also outstanding, and they had a head start in resources, the gap became apparent.

"No way, I must work harder!"

Thus, he began painstaking cultivation within the Holy Institute.

The Holy Institute had various rare resources and many unique cultivational sites, like the Gravity Tower, Body Refining Pool, and Law Celestial Ladder...

Since he infiltrated the Beast Race Holy Institute, these invaluable resources were not to be wasted.

Finally.

After half a year, when he exhausted the "resistances" of all the cultivational sites in the Beast Race Holy Institute, his cultivation finally broke through once more.

Six Tribulation Emperor!

And on this day, a violent tremor came from a small world beyond the Suspended Continent of the Holy Institute.

"Boom rumble!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

That small world shook violently, emitting a dazzling light, like a burning fireball.

"It’s the Beast God Mini World!"

"The Beast God’s Heart is about to appear again!"
