Chapter 357: What on earth is his background?

Shokuhou Misaki saw Li An's movement and her heart leaped with joy: "Finally can't hold back anymore? Let's see where you can dodge this time." She quickly concentrated her telekinesis on Li An, preparing to deliver him a fatal blow.

However, just as her telekinesis was about to strike Li An, Li An suddenly vanished on the spot. Shokuhou Misaki froze, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes: "Where is he?" Just as she was searching around for Li An, he suddenly appeared behind her, a powerful energy condensed in his hand, and he lunged violently at Shokuhou Misaki.

Shokuhou Misaki sensed the attack from behind, but it was already too late to dodge. She could only hastily turn around and block with her telekinesis. With a deafening "Boom—", the violent shockwave of energy sent both of them staggering back several steps. A trace of shock and unwillingness appeared on Shokuhou Misaki's face — she had never expected Li An to find her weakness and counterattack so swiftly.

"You... how could you..." Shokuhou Misaki stared at Li An in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and fury.

Li An was breathing heavily, a hint of exhaustion on his face, but far more was the joy of victory: "Your ability may be powerful, but it's not without flaw." His voice was somewhat weak, yet brimming with confidence.

The onlookers seeing Shokuhou Misaki get the worst of it could not help but gasp in amazement. "That's incredible — that newcomer actually beat Shokuhou Misaki." "Yeah, what on earth is his background?" Their gazes, filled with surprise and admiration, all turned toward Li An.

Shokuhou Misaki looked at the gazes of the people around her, and the fury in her heart reached its peak. She glared fiercely at Li An, gritting her teeth as she said: "Just you wait — I'll settle this score with you sooner or later." With that, she turned and strode away, leaving behind a smug-faced Li An and a deeply worried Guo Yao.

"Li An, are you alright?" Guo Yao hurried to his side, asking with concern. Her eyes were full of worry, and her hands gripped Li An's arm tightly.

Li An looked at Guo Yao, shook his head slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "I'm fine, don't worry." He lightly patted her hand, trying to put her at ease.

However, just at that moment, Li An suddenly felt an icy gaze shooting toward him from afar. He instinctively turned his head, only to see Accelerator standing not far away, watching him coldly. Accelerator's eyes were filled with indifference and arrogance, as if in his eyes Li An was nothing more than a trivial ant. Yet deep within that cold gaze, a trace of curiosity was hidden—as though he was quite interested in this newcomer who could defeat Shokuhou Misaki.

At the same time, Tuyu Sect Motoharu was also silently watching all of this from the shadows. A sly smile hung on his face, and a shrewd gleam flickered in his eyes. "Interesting — this new kid really isn't simple," he murmured. "Looks like I'll have to keep a close eye on him."

And in the crowd, Saten Ruiko was looking at Li An with utter adoration. Her cheeks were faintly flushed, her eyes full of a maiden's shyness and admiration: "So amazing — he's the hero I've always imagined."

On the other side, Kamijou Touma, having seen Li An's fight with Shokuhou Misaki, mistakenly thought Li An was a villain. He frowned, his eyes blazing with anger: "This guy—actually bullying a girl; I absolutely won't let him get away with it." Saying so, he clenched his fist and prepared to charge at Li An.
