Chapter 394

"Jiang Li, I want to ask you something!"

"Speak!!!"

Julia's face showed difficulty; after thinking for a long time, she said, "We haven't known each other long!"

"We respect each other and never pry into each other's backgrounds!"

"But what I am about to tell you is very important—so please answer my questions truthfully!"

"Can you promise me that?"

Julia turned and looked at Jiang Li.

The two could see each other's pupil colors, could see the reflections of each other in their gazes; in their eyes, there was only the image of the other.

"I want to ask you—do you know the Left Prime Minister? Yesterday I heard people say you went to the Left Prime Minister's residence," Julia said.

Jiang Li's heart tightened; he had intended to answer immediately.

But Julia suddenly covered Jiang Li's mouth and said, "You don't need to answer me right away; think it over before answering me, this is very important to me!"

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "Can I choose not to answer?"

Disappointment appeared in Julia's eyes.

The two stared at each other for a long time; finally, at some unknown moment, they kissed, until the host on the podium called Jiang Li's name three or four times.

Only then did they separate; after separating, Julia smiled, wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, and said, "Go, I believe you can definitely do it!"

"Are you leaving?"

"No—I will watch your test!" Julia said.

They were about to part, yet what the two said was so casual.

Jiang Li looked deeply at Julia once more, then walked up onto the competition platform.

The spectators in the stands only thought this was an ordinary test.

Alondas regained his spirit and glanced at Julia, whose eyes still held tears!

Alondas's jealousy surged greatly in his heart.

"No matter how powerful you are, you are still a woman, and your man is just a weakling!" Alondas said.

Even as he thought this, he saw Julia walking directly toward him.

She came to the railing beside Alondas, leaned over it, and said, "Are you thinking about why I came over?"

"To humiliate me?"

Alondas said with a grim expression.

Julia looked at him and said, "Humiliate you? You aren't even qualified!"

If anyone else spoke to the eldest Young Master of the Left Prime Minister's residence like that, he would have already slapped them.

But Julia, looking at Jiang Li's figure on the test arena, said, "Alondas, how about we make a bet? What kind of attack power do you think Jiang Li can unleash?"

Jiang Li looked at the arena for a long while before saying, "You are very powerful; at least yesterday I misjudged you, because I could feel neither strength nor weakness in you. That isn't too shocking to me, but your boyfriend, I must say, is just a tender chicken, truly too elementary!"

"Yesterday he had no strength at all to rescue you from my hands!" Alondas said, pouting.

"Then tell me—how many Black Gold Stone Balls can he cleave?"

"Hmph—at most one; otherwise, let's make a bet!" Alondas said with a smile.

Julia said, "Fine, I bet he will cleave at least two or three Alloy Stone Balls! But let's not talk about the wager now. For the sake of our elders, I won't make things too difficult for you!"

"Oh—how can that be? Young Lady Zhu? If it's a bet, how can there be no wager?"

Alondas said, returning to his Young Master demeanor.

"Oh—then what do you want to bet on? The wager I demand, you cannot afford to repay!"

As Julia spoke, she dodged the finger Alondas extended to lift her chin.

"How about betting that you become my girlfriend?" Alondas said.

He was fully on guard, already preparing to run to his father.

He himself found it incredible; wasn't this asking for death?

Who knew Julia would cover her mouth and laugh, saying, "Fine! I don't think you will win so smoothly!"

Alondas frowned, feeling something was wrong somewhere; he looked at the arena and, along with the spectators, gasped in shock.

Even Julia, seeing Jiang Li standing before the fifth stone ball, widened her eyes, a look of incredulity flashing across her face!

"Is he that strong?"

The Jiang Li she knew was never an impulsive person.

On the arena.

Jiang Li exerted all his strength to activate the Eye of Death.

Even so, the death point on the largest stone ball before him was only faintly visible.

This could only mean that although this stone ball possessed no attack power, its health had reached an outrageous degree.

At least Jiang Li's Eye of Investigation could not see through the stone ball's specific health!

"Sword Intent!"

The sand and gravel beneath Jiang Li's feet trembled slightly and slowly floated upward.

Meanwhile, the Left Prime Minister on the main podium shivered slightly.

"Sword Intent?"

Alondas was also stunned.

"He actually has Sword Intent?"

A kind of realization came to Jiang Li's heart, yet he could not grasp it.

"Your Highness—you have already learned the basic Sword Techniques; your comprehension is extraordinarily high. If you can comprehend your own Martial Dao—that would be the best result, so this old man is not in a hurry to teach you deeper Martial Dao!"

At that time, when Jiang Li heard such words, he did not understand their meaning at all.

But now, he seemed to have grasped something, yet also seemed to have grasped nothing, his heart itching with unbearable frustration.

Just then, another gust of fierce wind blew up, intending to destroy his domain and sweep all the sand and soil three inches before him high into the sky.

"Hmm—how should I make these tiny sand grains resist the fierce wind?"

His body spun involuntarily, driving the sand and stones beneath his feet; those stones instantly shattered, and grain by grain, the sand transformed into blades of sword qi.

He looked at the largest stone sphere made of a hundred alloys before him, only to find that the dead spots on the sphere had become much clearer!

Without hesitating much, he leaped up and struck down with a sword slash.

As the sword fell, the stone sphere trembled; before the dumbfounded crowd, its smooth surface split cleanly into two halves!
