Chapter 290. The Further, the Better!

In Nie Li's heart, Long Yuyin was no different from that vicious woman from his previous life!

If it hadn't been at the Celestial Spirit Academy, but out in the real world, Nie Li might have fought Long Yuyin to the death.

Everyone stared blankly at Nie Li and Long Yuyin.

The scene was far too explosive. Who would have thought that Long Yuyin, who possessed the Crimson Dragon Bloodline, would be bullied so thoroughly by Nie Li? It seemed Long Yuyin had truly met her match!

But the scene just now seemed a little...

Thinking about the peculiar posture Nie Li and Long Yuyin had been in, Lu Piao couldn't help but wink at Nie Li. Everything that had just happened was indeed... a bit... too intense!

However, he noticed that Nie Li's face was ashen, brimming with killing intent—a cold, piercing killing intent that made even Lu Piao shudder. What was going on with Nie Li? In all the time he'd known him, Lu Piao had rarely seen Nie Li this furious. He had a feeling that between Nie Li and Long Yuyin, there was some kind of irreconcilable enmity.

The girls in the class exchanged bewildered glances. They hadn't expected Long Yuyin to fight so recklessly against Nie Li, nor had they expected Nie Li to be so powerful that he actually defeated Long Yuyin.

"Long Yuyin brought it on herself," He Yinyin said, pressing her lips together. "She thought her Crimson Dragon Bloodline was so formidable, and yet she still lost to Senior Brother Nie Li! Don't tell me that woman deliberately tried to get Senior Brother Nie Li's attention!"

He Yinyin was growing more and more convinced that something was off about Long Yuyin. Why of all people had she fixated on Nie Li?

"Yinyin, what do you think of Senior Brother Nie Li?" one of the girls asked, a hint of infatuation in her voice. Nie Li's dazzling talent had stirred something in her heart.

"Don't even bother," He Yinyin said with a pout. "So many people have their eyes on Senior Brother Nie Li—your turn would never come!"

The girl bristled at He Yinyin's words and shot back indignantly, "Who knows? Senior Brother Nie Li might not like you either!"

Jin Yan stared at Nie Li, his fists clenched tight, seething with frustration and unwillingness. Even in raw physical strength—the area where he excelled—Nie Li had still overwhelmed Long Yuyin. This talent was absolutely heaven-defying! No wonder Nie Li had completely ignored him before—it turned out Nie Li had never even considered him worth acknowledging!

Long Yuyin alone had been enough to put Jin Yan in a foul mood, and now there was an even more infuriating Nie Li on top of that.

In the distance, Han Jing and the others were filled with shock. Moments ago they had been scheming about how to cause trouble for Nie Li, but now they wouldn't dare. With such terrifying talent, Nie Li was someone they absolutely could not afford to provoke—let alone the fact that if it came to a real fight, they wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Wang Yang watched Nie Li's retreating figure, his eyes brimming with jealousy and malice.

"Ahem." Venerable Chimu coughed in a low voice. "Now that you've found sparring partners, you can practice together regularly to strengthen your physical bodies. That concludes today's lesson. You may continue training here. The third class will be held in three days."

Venerable Chimu walked out.

Nie Li glanced at Lu Piao and Gu Bei. "Let's go."

Just as Nie Li was about to leave, Long Yuyin suddenly stepped out from the side and blocked his path. "You're not allowed to leave!"

Nie Li stared coldly at Long Yuyin. What did this woman want now?

"I want you to stay and continue sparring with me!" Long Yuyin said through gritted teeth, her gaze stubborn and unyielding. She wanted to become stronger. Nie Li's power had only intensified the fighting spirit burning within her.

"Get out of my way. I don't have time for this!" Nie Li said with undisguised disgust. This woman simply wouldn't quit!

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

This woman, Long Yuyin, had just suffered such a significant loss and been thoroughly humiliated. Why was she still pestering Nie Li, demanding to spar with him? Was something wrong with her head? Did she have some kind of masochistic tendency, the more she was humiliated, the more she threw herself at it? Or... could it be that this woman had actually fallen for Nie Li?

"Long Yuyin, aren't you being incredibly shameless? Senior Brother Nie Li is ignoring you, and you still insist on clinging to him!" He Yinyin said, frowning from the side.

Long Yuyin swept a cold glance over He Yinyin. "This is none of your business. Scram! If you dare say one more word, believe me, I'll throw you out of here!"

"You..." He Yinyin seethed inwardly. That crazy woman Long Yuyin! However, she didn't dare provoke Long Yuyin further and could only stomp away to the side in frustration.

"Long Yuyin, must you humiliate yourself?" Nie Li stared at her coldly.

Long Yuyin met his gaze directly. "I didn't lose just now, and I won't concede defeat. Unless you truly beat me, we keep fighting! If you win, you can name any condition you want. If I so much as frown, I'm not Long Yuyin! And if I win, I'm going to pay you back threefold for those lashes you gave me earlier!"

"Get out of my way. I don't have time for your nonsense!" Nie Li snorted, preparing to sidestep Long Yuyin and leave.

"You're not allowed to go!" Long Yuyin reached out to block him, simultaneously launching a kick with her left foot aimed at Nie Li.

Nie Li quickly dodged, thoroughly infuriated by this woman now.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They clashed again in a fierce exchange, fist energy radiating outwards. Both of their speeds had reached an extreme, leaving only afterimages in their wake.

These two were truly a powder keg waiting for a spark. After just a moment, they were already locked in combat again.
