Chapter 167: Forced to Work, a Slipper Shatters the Prodigy's Dream

Lin Yao's current mood was like someone who had just broken into a house to rob it, only to find the owner sharpening an apple with a nuclear bomb.

Cold.

Bone-chillingly cold.

This cold did not come from Mu Qingxue's Ice Phoenix Aura, but from the youth who was still snoring on that bed.

"Trying to act mysterious! I, Lin Yao, have roamed the Imperial Capital for twenty years; what kind of Formation have I not seen?" Lin Yao roared, seemingly to bolster his own courage. The Earth Rank High Grade longsword in his hand erupted with blinding purple lightning. "Open for me! Purple Lightning Mad Dragon Break!"

The longsword transformed into a three-zhang-long electric Dragon, charging toward Jiang Chen with an Aura that could destroy everything.

Lin Yao was very confident. He had burned his essence blood to unleash this move; even a typical Great Grandmaster would have to avoid its edge.

However, facing this fatal strike, Jiang Chen... simply turned over.

This turning action was extremely natural, as if he disliked lying on his side for too long and wanted to switch to a supine position.

But the moment his body turned, a visible purple ripple rippled out from that "myriad heavens formless bed".

"Hum—"

That arrogant electric Dragon, the moment it touched the purple ripple, was like hitting an invisible wall.

There was no explosion, no roar.

The electric Dragon simply fizzled out for no reason, turning into wisps of faint electric sparks that flickered comically in the air, and then... disappeared.

"This... this is impossible!" Lin Yao's eyes almost popped out, and the sword in his hand was trembling. "That was my strongest killing move!"

"So noisy..."

On the bed, the youth with his eyes closed finally spoke.

His voice was hoarse and low, carrying an extreme irritation from not having slept enough.

"First thing in the morning, who is playing with a lighter outside?"

Jiang Chen still had his eyes closed, but that Domain known as "low pressure" had already instantly covered the entire barrack.

【System prompt: Extremely low-quality noise source detected.】

【Current sleep depth: 90% (interrupted).】

【Waking Up Anger accumulation: 100% (off the charts).】

【Automatic defense mechanism: Sleepwalking combat technique — Size 43 Mental Energy slap.】

"Run! Run quickly!" Lin Yao's intuition told him that if he didn't run now, he would never have the chance to run again in his life.

But he discovered with horror that his legs felt as if they had been filled with ten thousand tons of molten lead, and he couldn't even move a toe.

At this moment, Mu Qingxue, who was watching the battle from the side, had her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance, even carrying a trace of fanaticism.

"No... it's not just defense." Mu Qingxue was frantically overthinking in her heart, "That turn he just made, seemingly casual, actually implicitly matched the principles of the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams', guiding that thunderous power into a spatial rift. His impatient appearance now must be to temper his 'Sea of Consciousness' through this extreme psychological pressure!"

"Look at his left hand, although he is scratching an itch, that is clearly condensing the rules of a Small World!"

Su Qingyue also leaned over, her eyes unfocused: "That's right! Brother Jiang Chen must be teaching us what it means to be 'calm even when Mount Tai collapses before one'. Even when facing a great enemy, as long as one has a divine bed in one's heart, the world is quiet."

Iliya, who was being used as a body pillow: "???"

What are you all talking about? I only feel that Master wants to kill someone right now!

Just as the women were overthinking, Jiang Chen moved.

He didn't get up, just lifted his right hand in his sleep in an extremely perfunctory manner, grabbing at the air.

"Pat."

A... slipper, emitting an eerie purple light, completely transparent yet heavy as a mountain, appeared out of thin air above Lin Yao's head.

"What is this?!" Lin Yao let out a desperate scream.

"Sleepwalking first style: Give you a slipper."

Jiang Chen mumbled a few words like sleep-talking, and lightly waved his right hand downward.

"Slap!!!"

A crisp, pleasant, and extremely loud slap sound exploded in the barrack.

That giant Mental Energy slipper struck Lin Yao's arrogant face with precision, elegance, and violence.

There was no suspense.

Lin Yao's so-called Grandmaster protective True Qi was more fragile than a piece of wet toilet paper in front of that size 43 slipper.

His face instantly caved in, teeth flew out like popcorn, and his entire body drew a beautiful spiral parabola in the air, crashing heavily into the snow outside the barrack.

"Boom!"

A human-shaped crater was smashed into the snow.

Lin Yao's eyes rolled back, half of his face was swollen no different from a pig's head, and his body was still twitching rhythmically.

The remaining four death warriors didn't even have the courage to make a move, and fell to their knees in front of the bed with a "thump".

"Young Master Jiang, spare us! We are just working for a paycheck!"

Jiang Chen turned over again, smacked his lips, hugged Iliya tighter in his arms, and mumbled incoherently:

"Get lost... don't block me from watching... the Empress dance..."

The death warriors were like receiving an amnesty, scrambling backward out of the barrack, and didn't forget to gently close the door before leaving, their movements so gentle, afraid of making even one more decibel of sound.

Mu Qingxue looked at the room that had returned to silence and took a deep breath.

The Aura belonging to Jiang Chen became purer and more domineering with the Formation of the divine bed.

She walked to the bedside as if possessed, looking at Jiang Chen's face, which even in sleep showed a trace of roguishness, and her heartbeat suddenly became terribly fast.

"This jerk... is he really tempering his state of mind in this way?" Mu Qingxue bit her red lips, then, as if having made some determination, slowly sat on the edge of the bed.

"Since it's special training... then I can't fall behind."

She took off her coat, revealing the tight ice-blue inner garment, and slowly lay down on the other side of Jiang Chen.

At that moment, an extreme sense of warmth and peace enveloped her.

Seeing this, Su Qingyue's eyes almost popped out: "Teacher Mu! You... you are too cunning! I want special training too!"

Thus, on the morning after the Lin family Prodigy was beaten into a pig's head, there was another "special training member" on the bed of the Great Xia Sleep God.

And at the pole of the Northern Wilderness, an old and hoarse voice echoed in the air through some secret method:

"Sacred Artifact appears... Fox Ancestor Aura... It seems that the brat who can end the chaotic times has finally arrived."
