Light Barrier - Chapter 20: Senior Sister@@@@

“Use your awakened ability to attack me. Don’t hold back.”

After speaking, Luo Er waved her hand, signaling for Nan Jin and Zhong Wei to step back.

Then she closed her eyes.

The girl placed one hand behind her back and pointed at her glabella with the other. “Come on, attack.”

Sweat broke out on Gu Shen’s forehead. He hadn’t awakened any so-called transcendent power at all. Although he had the Ruler of Truth with him, it was impossible for him to take it out and activate it now. This secret needed to be carefully guarded.

How should he attack?

There was no way to do so at all!

Holding her saber, Nan Jin retreated silently and stood beside Zhong Wei, waiting quietly. The extent of Gu Shen’s talent was only described in the file. They had not witnessed it personally.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

The training ground was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

“...”

Luo Er slowly opened her eyes, but there was no disappointment in them. They were as calm as a mirror as she smiled faintly. “As expected, you can’t use it, can you? You seem to be different from what the old fellows in the Adjudication Bureau guessed. If you participate in the assessment now, the situation will be very bad for you.”

Gu Shen hesitated to speak, but he chose to remain silent.

“It’s okay.” A hand gently patted his shoulder.

Gu Shen felt a gust of wind. He couldn’t see clearly how Senior Sister Luo moved, but she arrived beside him in an instant.

“Don’t feel discouraged. There are many situations where people overdraw their transcendental power and can’t use it after.” Senior Sister Luo chuckled softly. “Doesn’t this just prove that... my and Zhong Wei’s presence here has value?”

Gu Shen was startled.

He looked behind him and saw Senior Brother Zhong Wei’s smile. Do they think... I can’t use my transcendental power because I overdrew it?

“However, it’s still crucial to control your fate as much as possible.” Luo Er turned around and walked toward the racks full of bladed weapons on the training ground. “The assessment is in fifteen days. Every hour starting now is very important. At this moment, the special training has begun!”

She came to a large rack.

“For those with immense innate power, if they can’t hit the opponent even when trying their best, they will only be a fleeting bloom. Such transcendents... it’s extremely difficult for them to be considered powerhouses in the true sense.”

A bead of sweat formed on Gu Shen’s forehead, slowly slid down, and finally dripped onto the blade of a dagger mere inches away.

Clang!

A crisp ring echoed, and ripples appeared in the air.

Under the control of Luo Er’s mental power, the dagger hovered in front of his cheek. The invisible coldness almost pierced through his cheek and seeped into his bones.

This was... the true meaning of a monster.

How formidable was her mental power to be able to control dozens of bladed weapons at the same time?

This wasn’t illusory saber intent, devoid of weight...

Unlike Gu Shen’s frenzied slaughter of the target on the rooftop, every weapon controlled by Senior Sister Luo accurately pierced into the target. The most terrifying thing was that she didn’t rely on her eyesight to assist in aiming!

Clearly, this was also an application of mental-type transcendental power. She could see the world behind her, and her ‘eyes’ were sharper than an eagle’s.

Gu Shen took a deep breath. He stretched out two fingers with difficulty and moved the dagger hovering in front of him.

This dagger was a mere centimeter away from piercing through his skin.

Gu Shen knew that if his hand had trembled just now, even a slight movement would have caused the blade to draw blood.

He was not afraid, only... amazed.

This time, when Gu Shen looked at Luo Er again, he seemed to see the powerful and awe-inspiring soul within this seemingly petite body.

It was as towering as a mountain, as deep as an abyss.

The lecture just now about powerhouses had actually seemed a little hollow and unpersuasive.

But Luo Er said it.

It was too right, too true... because she was unquestionably a true powerhouse.

Buzz.

The dagger slowly flew up and landed in Luo Er’s palm.

“Interested in learning?” She smiled. “I’ll teach you.”
