99: Crazy Grace

At this moment, Chen Tianming, who was bending down to take off Grace's shoes, seemed to not have reacted yet…

Watching the bloody dagger touch the man's back, a hint of disappointment flashed in Grace's eyes.

“This is the guy who crushed Qi Lin's palm?”

“Doesn't look like much, does he?”

She had originally thought there would be a thrilling battle, but now it seemed Chen Tianming was just someone with cultivation but no real skill.

Just as Grace thought victory was assured.

However, in the next instant, her eyes suddenly widened!

Revealing an expression of extreme shock!

Her blood-red dagger, upon touching Chen Tianming's back,

Felt as if she had stabbed a piece of refined steel!

With a clang, the sound of metal colliding rang out.

Her arm instantly went numb, the web of her hand split open, gushing blood!

And the blood-red dagger in her hand shattered into countless pieces before her shocked eyes!

“It… shattered… just like that?”

“A Hua Jin expert?” Grace instinctively flashed several times, distancing herself from Chen Tianming, but looking at the man half-kneeling on the ground, an uncontrollable look of disbelief appeared in her eyes, and she uttered these words with difficulty.

She was confident that, in that situation just now, even a Dark Jin expert would absolutely not be able to withstand her strike with just their physical body!

However, Chen Tianming, relying solely on his physical body, shattered her bloody dagger!

Her full-force strike didn't even scratch his skin!

Then there was only one possibility: this man, at most twenty years old, was a Hua Jin expert!

“How is this possible?” Grace's voice became sharp and distorted, as if she had seen something that shattered her worldview.

Hua Jin, that was a legendary realm!

How could it appear on a twenty-year-old guy?

Even if he started cultivating in the womb, he couldn't possibly reach this realm, could he?

However, the facts before her eyes forced her to believe that the rumored prodigal son was actually a peerless genius!

And one unprecedented in history!

Chen Tianming slowly stood up, his face no longer showing any signs of being dazed, his eyes clear.

He glanced at the shattered red dagger on the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said lightly, “I didn't expect Qi Lin to value you so much.”

“He even gave you his personal weapon.”

Qi Lin's bloody dagger was renowned in the dark world, having killed countless experts and bigwigs, and Chen Tianming naturally knew a thing or two about it.

It was said that this weapon was forged by a once-in-a-century master using extraterrestrial meteorites, hence its blood-red color and exceptional sharpness and durability.

It had traversed the dark world for years, killing countless enemies, yet it was shattered in Chen Tianming's hands!

However, in Chen Tianming's eyes, this bloody dagger was only of average quality.

“Roughly the strength of a C-grade alloy?” He stretched his shoulders, simply feeling it out.

“Even one of the strongest weapons in this world is completely incomparable to future weapons.”

Chen Tianming shook his head secretly, then looked at Grace.

At this moment, the Female Lead's blush had completely disappeared.

There was no trace of her previous drunken state; her eyes were sharp and fervent!

She casually tossed away the broken dagger in her hand and asked, “When did you find out?”

Chen Tianming smiled and said, “From the moment you entered the alliance.”

Grace's expression changed, but her eyes became even more fervent!

Just then, Chen Tianming actually received a system prompt!

“Detected Female Lead Grace has developed admiration for you. Favorability (Dark) +10.”

“Current Favorability (Dark): 90.”

Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise on his face. “Does this Female Lead have some kind of masochistic tendency?”

After taking a beating and being mocked a couple of times, she actually admired him even more?

Thinking of this, he looked at the Female Lead before him and continued, “If I wanted to kill you, it would just be a thought.”

“Your supposedly hidden hides are nowhere to be found in my eyes.”

“Surrender to me now, and I can still give you a way out.”

Unexpectedly, Grace responded with a wild laugh, saying, “You are indeed strong, but if you want me to submit, you must defeat me!”

Chen Tianming sighed, as expected, mere talk couldn't conquer this crazy beauty, could it?

Although he hadn't held much hope at the very beginning.

If he could conquer such a Female Lead with just two sentences, he might have even been a little surprised.

After Grace finished speaking, she wasted no more words, drawing two thin, cicada-wing-like short blades from her waist and holding them in her hands.

These were her own weapons.

Chen Tianming shook his head and said, “Why bother?”

He really didn't want to hit his (future) woman.

Grace paid no attention to what Chen Tianming said; her eyes were bloodshot at the sight of a strong opponent, and she let out a wild laugh.

She stomped on the ground, shattering it, and charged towards Chen Tianming…

………………

At the same time, on the top floor, in the office, Yan Yu's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up!

Almost simultaneously, the few people beside her also looked towards a certain direction!

“Someone is fighting in the Lost Bar!”

“For the internal energy fluctuations to be transmitted so clearly here, the person fighting must be very strong!”

Yan Yu's expression shifted, and she finally made a decision, saying, “Let's go down and see!”

After Yan Yu led a group of core members downstairs, the violent internal energy fluctuations from before had weakened significantly.

They followed the fluctuations and found a private room. Exchanging glances, Yan Yu kicked open the door!

However, when the group, who had been on high alert, saw the scene inside the room, they all froze in place!

Everything in the room was shattered.

Several deep sword and saber marks on the walls silently told of the level of battle that had taken place here!

Chen Tianming was currently pressing Grace onto the already disassembled bed in a strange posture.

Yan Yu was also startled!

She hadn't expected Chen Tianming to be the one fighting!

“Master… Chen Shao, why are you here?”

Because the scene before them was too shocking, the people around did not notice the abnormality in Yan Yu's voice.

Just then, Yan Yu suddenly noticed metal fragments of weapons among the countless furniture shards, reflecting light.

Her expression immediately changed!

Looking at Grace's appearance, clearly that of a West Continent woman,

A guess instantly flashed through her mind.

“Could it be a West Continent assassin?”

Yan Yu's Favorability (Dark) for Chen Tianming was already maxed out. Realizing that someone dared to attack her master, her expression immediately turned cold!

While Yan Yu's thoughts were swirling,

Chen Tianming, however, smiled and said, “It's nothing.”

Then, he looked at Grace, who was pinned beneath him, and said, “How about it? Do you submit?”

“If not, you can go out and challenge me again!”

Grace gritted her teeth, struggled a few times, and finally gradually calmed down.

Feeling the chasm-like disparity in their strength, she was silent for a moment, then finally said in a muffled voice, “I… submit!”
