Chapter 8 An Enigmatic Person

"Sh*t! Didn't you say you've never practiced spiritual qi? How could you reach a breakthrough?" She even skipped over the middle stage and the peak stage of the yellow rank, reaching the orange rank from the early stage of the yellow rank!

Hua Qingyue was surely overwhelmed. Both he and Hua Qingshui reached the breakthrough via the early, middle, and peak stages. Dugu Muyou's breakthrough was a total abnormality!

Dugu Muyou did not anticipate that she would break through at this moment. After the breakthrough, she turned around and became feverish at the sight of the countless monsters.

They were no longer monsters in her eyes but instead served as nutrients for her breakthrough.

She held the dagger in her hand and hurtled towards a sea of monsters. Behind her, Hua Qingyue expressed a frightened look, and even Hua Qingshui, who had always remained calm in face of a crisis, looked rather concerned.

Dugu Muyou was indeed abnormal. Her own strength seemed insignificant in front of so many monsters.

The brothers looked at each other and moved simultaneously. Following Dugu Muyou, they rushed forward.

Hua Qingyue laughed hard and said while dashing forward, "It's a life not lived in vain. Even though I might get killed for this, it's worth it."

Hua Qingshui did not say anything. His tight lips revealed his anxiety at that point.

He was certainly not afraid of death, but he could not afford to die at this moment because of his identity. Dugu Muyou's suicidal attempt sparked an unsayable emotion in his heart so that he could not control himself but followed suit.

Dugu Muyou first confronted a Black Mayfly. She moved the dagger in a way as if it had been a part of her body and stabbed precisely the vital part of the Black Mayfly. When she pulled the dagger out, there was another Magical Essence of the monster in her hand.

Yuehua Diamond absorbed the Magical Essence the moment she had it in her hand. Spiritual qi filled her body, so she did not need to transform the Magical Essence right away. She followed the previous fight pattern and brought the dagger repeatedly inside monsters' bodies, hearts, skulls, or necks. Every time, there would be a Magical Essence of a different color.

Spiritual qi in her body would not remain plentiful. Nonetheless, she was not afraid. When spiritual qi was run out, Magical Essence absorbed by Yuehua Diamond would be devoured and transformed to spiritual qi.

Because of Yuehua Diamond, her wounds were recovering at a speed that was noticeable to the naked eyes. As long as her wounds were not the severe ones, she ignored them and focused on a swarm of monsters in front of her.

"Is she trying to kill herself...?"

Wearing a hesitant expression, Hua Qingyue asked Hua Qingshui dubiously, who was next to him.

While wielding a big sword and hacking a monster that hurtled blindly towards him, Hua Qingshui nodded firmly and said faintly, "That's for sure!"

Jumping towards the nearest monster, Dugu Muyou almost stumbled.

The brothers from the Hua Family were unaware of her peculiarity, but she knew it very well. With Yuehua Diamond, she forged ahead fearlessly. She wanted herself to reach breakthroughs as speedily as possible and acquire the ability to cross space.

The hurt inside her was her unyielding motivation. No matter in the prelife or this life, the ones that hurt her would come to no good end.

The flame in her hand, emitting a faint light, seemed to become one with her. With her every stretch and retraction, monsters' life was taken away one after another.

She became more and more adept at finding the Magical Essence. Droplets of Magical Essence were all absorbed inside Yuehua Diamond. Whenever she used up spiritual qi in her body, she would use Yuehua Diamond to replenish spiritual qi by devouring a batch of Magical Essence in it.

She killed monsters and then grabbed the Magical Essence all to herself. The brothers from the Hua Family, who fought for her by taking care of the monsters near her, were stupefied by the way how she took action for granted.

"It seems she has an inexhaustible supply of spiritual qi..."

Hua Qingshui, who had been taciturn, spoke suddenly in a steadfast but confounded tone.

Hua Qingyue rolled his eyes, "She said she had no idea how to practice spiritual qi. Without practice, her spiritual qi was never used. That was why her spiritual qi seemed inexhaustible."

Hua Qingshui wiped the blood on his sword away and squinted at Hua Qingyue, "If she never practices spiritual qi, how come she has it now?"

"Well..."

Hua Qingyue was at a loss for words, and he had not yet understood the reason behind it. Even people from his hometown, Taohua Island, had heard of the ninth lady of the Dugus being a muggle. The rumor was certainly not a fake one. Any family, especially the prominent ones, would not allow the shame to spread. If it had not been true, the Dugus would have denied it early on.

Since the rumor was the truth, how come Dugu Muyou acquired spiritual qi and reached the breakthrough within such a short period of time? It was an enigma…
