บท 26: Chapter 26: Horrible First Battle Experience!

Ling Yuyan's avatar saw the orange tiger glared at her hungrily while warily approaching her step by step.

Ling Yuyan's avatar became even more panicked as she stammered to An Yue in fright: "An Yue, I... I am... I am not ready yet for this! Can... Can you please... keep that tiger away from me..."

Unfortunately for Ling Yuyan's avatar, An Yue's avatar had already disappeared, and it seemed like she had absolutely no intention of helping Ling Yuyan's avatar at all.

Ling Yuyan's avatar trembled even more violently when she saw the orange tiger getting closer and closer to her.

"Calm down, kitty... I... I have not taken a bath today, so I am very smelly, and I will not taste delicious at all... So, can you please spare..." Before Ling Yuyan's avatar could finish her begging for mercy words...

ROOOOAAAARRR~!

The orange tiger suddenly dashed toward Ling Yuyan's avatar!

Ling Yuyan's avatar turned around and ran away as quickly as she could while shouting for help: "Heeeelllppp~! An Yue, I am not ready for this yet~!! Why not start it with chicken, cat, and dog first?!"

How could Ling Yuyan's avatar outrun the orange tiger in the middle of the lush green forest?!

It only took a few breaths for the orange tiger to pounce at Ling Yuyan's avatar from behind, push her onto the ground, tear her apart, and eat her with relish.

An Yue's avatar who saw everything from afar could only rub her forehead in disappointment.

The real Ling Yuyan immediately consumed some of her mental energy to condense another avatar in the Dream Space.

An Yue's avatar warned Ling Yuyan's avatar in a stern tone: "Sister Yuyan, why do you run away? You have not even begun to practice [Wind Drifting Legs] yet, so you clearly would not be able to outrun that tiger. Let's start again! This time, please do not run away!"

Before Ling Yuyan's avatar could complain, An Yue's avatar disappeared again from the vision of Ling Yuyan's avatar.

ROOOOAAAARRR~!

The orange tiger jumped out from behind the bushes and roared threateningly at Ling Yuyan's avatar.

Ling Yuyan's new avatar did not run away like before and she hastily put her battle stance.

But her entire body was trembling in fright, and even her feet were not planted firmly on the ground.

The current scene was like a trembling and frightened little fawn when facing a tiger.

The orange tiger rushed and pounced toward Ling Yuyan's avatar, and before Ling Yuyan's avatar could react, her neck had already been bitten by the orange tiger.

The rest was exactly the same as before, the orange tiger pushed her onto the ground, tore her apart, and ate her with relish.

The real Ling Yuyan could only smile in embarrassment as she helplessly condensed her avatar in the Dream Space for the third time.

"Sister Yuyan, I might tell you to not run away before, but it does not mean that you would just stand still obediently and let that tiger eat you just like that." An Yue's avatar muttered to Ling Yuyan's avatar in a disappointed tone.

At this time, An Yue's avatar no longer held much hope for Ling Yuyan's avatar.

Essentially, there were two reactions when anyone was facing a life-or-death situation.

The first reaction was that they were completely overwhelmed by their fear, then they would either try to run away or tremble and get stunned in fright.

The second reaction was that their adrenaline pumped into their brain, and they would completely lose their mind, then charge toward the enemy without thinking.

Both of these reactions were not what An Yue's avatar hoped for Ling Yuyan's avatar to do.

She hoped Ling Yuyan's avatar could find the balance between her fear and recklessness, then use her strong will to survive to push her potential over the limit.

Unfortunately, Ling Yuyan seemed to have failed to live up to An Yue's expectations.

An Yue's avatar began to think that she might be too hasty and this kind of training might not be suitable for Ling Yuyan.

She secretly decided that this would be the last time. If Ling Yuyan's third avatar still failed again, then she would just train her slowly and leisurely.

Anyway, she would always protect Ling Yuyan from any danger, so there was no need for Ling Yuyan to work that hard to become stronger.

ROOOOAAAARRR~!

The hungry orange tiger approached Ling Yuyan's avatar for the third time.

Ling Yuyan's avatar took a deep breath to calm down herself.

But the hungry orange tiger clearly would not let Ling Yuyan's avatar to have any time to prepare herself as it pouched toward her all of a sudden!

Strangely, Ling Yuyan's avatar was still extremely afraid, but she no longer panicked like before!

'Eh, what... is this?' Ling Yuyan's avatar thought in astonishment as her surroundings seemed to slow down a lot in that instant!

She could sense the slight wind blowing at her slender body, hear the sound of grasses moving around her, and see the hungry orange tiger pounce at her in slow motion!

Just as the orange tiger almost reached Ling Yuyan's avatar...

SPLAASSHH~!

She suddenly raised her palm to greet the pouncing tiger and spun her palm outward.

The orange tiger felt as if it got swept by the water's current. Its body changed direction in mid-air and passed beside Ling Yuyan's avatar instead.

ROOOOOOAAAAAARRR~!

The orange tiger became even angrier and jumped at Ling Yuyan's avatar again while slashing its claw at her!

Ling Yuyan's avatar rotated her right arm to parry the tiger's claw while using her other hand to push away the orange tiger from the right side, and she was barely able to avoid the tiger's pounce.

The orange tiger felt more and more uncomfortable, the longer it fought against Ling Yuyan's avatar.

It was as if it got swept away again and again by the relentless waves in the ocean without any strength to resist.

As the orange tiger kept attacking Ling Yuyan's avatar even more frantically, Ling Yuyan's avatar suddenly took a step inward, straightened her back, and threw her palm strike toward the orange tiger's nose!

[Undercurrent Surge]~!

BANG~!

The orange tiger slid a few steps back while whining in pain, and it temporarily felt really dizzy.

An Yue's eyes shone brighter in excitement when she saw the counterattack launched by Ling Yuyan's avatar.

"No, Sister Yuyan's state is not right. Don't tell me this is... She actually enters the epiphany state?!" An Yue's avatar muttered in astonishment.

Ling Yuyan had stepped into the Entry-Rank Martial Apprentice realm.

Even though it might not be worth being compared to the other young martial practitioners in Wang Family's mansion, but it should be enough to deal with an ordinary tiger!

The palm strike from Ling Yuyan's avatar managed to make the tiger's nose bleed, but it was still not enough to take down the tiger.

While the tiger had not completely recovered from its dizziness, Ling Yuyan's avatar decided to rush toward the tiger and threw another strike!

This time, she unleashed a more powerful technique from her [Water Flowing Palm].

Ling Yuyan's avatar stretched her left palm toward the tiger's body while putting her right palm on her waist.

"It's over, big kitty~! You can go back to sleep now." Ling Yuyan's avatar murmured as she took a deep breath and spun her entire body.

[Tidal Wave Strike]~!

BAAAAANG~!

The orange tiger was knocked back violently several meters by Ling Yuyan's [Tidal Wave Strike] until it crashed heavily onto the huge tree!

The orange tiger fell weakly onto the grassy ground and completely passed out.

"Huff, huff, huff... Cough, cough... I... I actually managed to defeat a tiger?!" Ling Yuyan's avatar uttered in disbelief while panting in great exhaustion.

Actually, she had put all of her remaining strength onto that last strike, so she was already completely exhausted all of her energy and could only barely stand up right now.

If the orange tiger could still stand up and fight, Ling Yuyan's avatar would surely not have any more strength to fight back.

CLAP~! CLAP~! CLAP~! CLAP~! CLAP~!

"Good fight, Sister Yuyan! I know you can definitely do it!" An Yue's avatar clapped her hands with a joyous smile on her cold and different beautiful face while praising Ling Yuyan's avatar generously.

"It seems you have initially comprehended the fighting style for defense specialization martial arts. Just like I have told you before, you should not only block or parry the enemy's attack but also look for the enemies' opening to launch a fatal counterattack at them..." An Yue's avatar began to teach Ling Yuyan's avatar again.

.....

The real Ling Yuyan hastily checked her panel list after she got used to her new strength.

[Water Flowing Palm (Not Started: 87% ---> Entry: 1%)]

"The battle with the tiger actually managed to make my [Water Flowing Palm] suddenly jump to entry-level! No wonder my avatar can defeat that tiger in the end!" Ling Yuyan exclaimed in shock.

Ling Yuyan nodded her head happily at her current improvement.

But after calmed down her mood, she began to think about what she needed to do next.

Wang Qingling, Wang Meng Yuan, and the other Wang Family's young descendants would soon participate in Disciple Enrollment Ceremony to enter the Five Element Sect.

Of course, they would also bring some maids and guards to escort them, so Ling Yuyan had to make sure that she was one of the maids that Wang Qingling would bring with her into the Five Element Sect.

Not only that, the journey to the Disciple Enrollment Ceremony was actually arduous and dangerous since the place was quite far from Spring River Town.

"Sigh, it looks like I have to make early preparations for that." Ling Yuyan muttered before she walked out from the unoccupied guest room.
