[Adam_Balch_7324: Attitude adjustment coming right up]

"This girl needs a correction."

"A correction, you say?" Yue Yi gritted her teeth. To think that there would be a day for someone much younger than her to dareenemies say such a word to her.

Theo just made a chair with his illusion, not saying anything. He didn't plan for any trouble in this sect, but this little girl had made his sweet princess angry, so a punishment would be needed. If it ever reached the point where they had to become enemies, he would take over.

Yue Yi looked at Mia while saying it in a condescending tone. "I'm not someone who bullies the weak. I'll allow you to make three moves first."

"Hoh?" Mia thought for a moment whether she should fall for this provocation or snarl back. After three seconds, she harrumphed. "In that case, don't regret it."

"Hmph!"

Mia jumped forth while shouting, "I'm going to punch your right cheek!"

"Huh?!" Yue Yi furrowed her eyebrows, witnessing the foolishness of a kid. Not only was her movement straightforward, but she even said her intention out loud.

Mia struck Yue Yi from the left side to punch her right cheek, but because of Mia's straightforwardness, Yue Yi easily raised her right hand to grab Mia's fist.

In fact, it didn't seem that Mia released that much power to hurt her. She thought about how weak Mia was.

Her victory was nothing but guaranteed.

But when she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly felt something hitting her left cheek. The force was ten times more than what she felt from Mia's fist and even knocked her away.

"Gah!" Yue Yi widened her eyes in shock as she landed on the ground head first. She raised her head, staring at Theo instead of Mia. There was no way Mia would be able to hit her like that, so her father must have helped her. But Theo actually didn't make a single move. In fact, he was busy opening a snack to watch his daughter fight.

Mia smirked as if everything had gone according to plan. In that punch, she actually used Deception first to change the power of the real punch. Since her physical punch was weak, the Deception made it extremely strong.

After that, Mia activated the second authority, Misdirection. With her acting as the bait, Yue Yi's focus remained on the right side, allowing the second punch to hit her from the opposite side.

This was Mia's magical punch.

'Hehe. I have learned this after watching Dad's fight.' Mia smirked, remembering how her father used his real body as bait when it was actually her teddy bear. She thought she could do the same thing, but in her own way.

"You…" Yue Yi gritted her teeth. Her body was emitting essence due to the embarrassment.

"What's wrong? You're going to make a move now? Where are the 2nd and 3rd moves?" Mia took out the Lumina in her pocket, which turned out to have recorded everything. She showed the clip of Yue Yi telling Mia that she could make three moves. Mia looked away while sobbing. "It seems that the people in this world can only take their words back."

"You…" Yue Yi wanted to spit blood out of anger. She never thought that Mia would use that kind of video. In fact, she was so focused on her own world that she didn't know what device Mia had to be able to produce that scene.

Yue Yi was so angry that her only thought was to grab that device and destroy it, forgetting that Theo existed.

Yue Yi leaped toward Mia while shouting, "Give me that!"

Mia smiled. This was also another trick of Theo: provoking the enemy. The angrier the enemy became, the calmer they would be.

Like leading a bull with a red cloth, Mia tossed the device into the air.

Yue Yi's vision rose slightly, allowing Mia to disappear to the bottom of her vision. Yue Yi's instinct kicked in, facing a danger coming from her left. She hurriedly lifted her arm to protect her body, but it was useless.

There was another invisible force that actually hit her from the opposite direction.

"Gah!" Yue Yi coughed up some acid from her stomach. At the same time, she was blasted in Mia's direction, allowing Mia to pull her wrist and direct her upward. Her body rotated due to the force and by the time she passed Mia, her back was completely exposed.

Mia hit her back with a palm. It was a simple push, but she released a burst of energy, which amplified the impact multiple times.

Yue Yi was knocked down to the ground, coughing. Mia even had the time to grab the device she threw earlier before falling.

"Fortunately, it hasn't hit the ground or it would've been broken." Mia let out a sigh of relief. Her calmness somehow angered Mia even further. Never in her wildest dreams would there appear a kid that could actually toy with her like this.

"You…" Yue Yi had no words to say. What could she even say?

"Truly pathetic. Not only did you fail to uphold your words, but you also wanted to rob something from a child." Mia shook her head helplessly.

Yue Yi stood up and started charging at Mia. This time, she took out a sword from her Space Ring while shouting, "Die!"

"Wow! You want to kill a child now?" Mia snorted while raising her right palm. She summoned a small teddy bear that, when she tossed it to the front, would expand to a human-sized teddy bear.

Yue Yi didn't care about this small bear and immediately slashed the bear on the neck. But to her surprise, the teddy bear actually disappeared in front of her.

"!!!" Yue Yi widened her eyes in shock. She couldn't help but remember what happened earlier. Mia actually learned the Fleeting Step. While she hadn't mastered it, it didn't change the fact that she could use the Fleeting Step.

And the teddy bear actually used the Fleeting Step and moved at a very high speed.

Yue Yi lowered her vision, saw the bear was already underneath her, and punched her abdomen, launching her into the air.

"Kh!"

Yue Yi never thought that a summoned creature made of essence would be able to use martial arts. But more importantly, Mia also used the same martial art to leap into the air.

On her hand was a giant toy hammer that looked like it was made of rubber. It wouldn't hurt even despite being that big.

Mia made a few rotations to increase the centrifugal force of the hit and struck Yue Yi's back.

"Gah!" Yue Yi spat a mouthful of blood this time because Yue Yi believed that the hammer wouldn't be able to hurt her.

Ultimately, she blasted her to the ground so hard that her body created a small crater. If it were someone else of her age, they would have died.

Mia landed on the ground with closed feet and both arms raised as though she had done an incredible acrobatic jump. In the end, Mia was never serious about fighting Yue Yi.

"I guess this is it. The battle is over." Mia sighed in disappointment as though she were expecting more from Li Shuye's disciple.

However, the battle didn't seem to be over as she expected. All of a sudden, there were a few blue flower's petals getting swept by the wind. It looked like a natural process at first until Mia remembered there was no such tree in the area.

'Ah, this is the bad one…' Mia thought as she hurriedly covered her body with the teddy bear costume.

"Lotus Slash."

Yue Yi's voice soon resounded across the courtyard as she stood back up even with such injuries. Her appearance was a mess. Blood flowed out of her nose and mouth. But the anger in her eyes was much more apparent than her condition to the point where Mia could feel a sliver of killing intent.

The petals that were hovering around Mia suddenly moved toward her like numerous blades from all directions with the intention of cutting her down.

Fortunately, Mia was able to recognize the ability much quicker, allowing her to fully cover her body with the teddy bear costume.

It deflected all the petals, but it suffered tremendous damage. Some parts were cut, some parts had dents, and some only had scratches. Ultimately, there was no harm to Mia's body.

Mia snapped her finger while pointing to Yue Yi's right side. "Cut her!"

"!!!" Yue Yi widened her eyes, feeling a fluctuation of essence. However, her instinct actually asked her body to block something from the opposite direction instead. She remembered what happened during Mia's attacks. While she couldn't really trust that instinct because she felt the fluctuation of energy, she adjusted her blade to the front instead of either side.

This way, she should be able to block an attack from both sides.

Cling!

She actually felt the impact coming from the opposite direction. As expected, this was the nature of Mia's attack.

When she turned her head around, she saw the teddy bear earlier wielding a big toy sword, almost cutting her down.

Sadly, this toy was just a distraction. Mia had removed her teddy bear costume and used the Fleeting Step to reach Yue Yi. With the teddy bear stopping her movement, Yue Yi had no way to block her.

"This is…" Yue Yi gritted her teeth while closing her eyes, preparing for the impact.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Theo's voice actually echoed in their ears. "Mia. You can stop now and come back here."

"Huh?!" Yue Yi was confused. Mia wanted to knock her down, but when she looked at Theo's cold face, her body trembled.

As his daughter, Mia didn't really fear Theo. After all, she knew that Theo would never harm her.

Instead of fear, she actually felt pity, not to Theo, but to whom he directed that anger.

"Y-yes!" Mia hurriedly stopped, unsummoned the teddy bear, and ran to Theo's side. She even straightened her back like a soldier.

"You. Do you know what will happen to you after doing all this to me?" Yue Yi roared at Theo.

Theo's expression remained unchanged. He might not want to make this sect an enemy, but he was never afraid of this sect. It seemed that Yue Yi had forgotten her promise, her disrespect to Theo, and even the fact that a sliver of killing intent leaked out of her.

If not for Mia's overwhelming ability, Theo would have intervened and even killed her.

Theo actually smiled at her and said, "Sure. What's next? Do you want me to apologize to you?"

"Get on your knees and erase everything that device produced earlier. I might consider it." Yue Yi snorted.

"Oh. Not only that, I can even offer you my right arm as an apology. The only condition is that you only have to stand right in front of me." Theo pointed at the ground in front of her. He was only ten steps away from Yue Yi, so it shouldn't be that hard, or so Yue Yi thought.

"Don't regret it." Yue Yi gritted her teeth and took the first step. It was at this time that Yue Yi suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground. "Eh?"

She couldn't feel her legs anymore. When she turned her head around, she saw her legs already getting severed.

Without her realizing it, the dry soil had actually changed into a pool of blood. She soon heard Theo's voice echoing in her ears. "What's wrong? You just have to stand in front of me and I will fulfill my words, unlike you."

Mia, who watched everything from the side, knew that it was all just an illusion. But she couldn't help but remember what her mother said back then.

She thought, 'This is… I think this is what Mom told me. Dad has ten levels of anger that are reflected in how he defeats his enemy. The first three levels are simple: beat them up, take a limb or two, and kill them swiftly. The fourth level is killing them brutally like that time. But this… it seems that this girl has pissed Dad more than that. This must be the fifth level: Mind Break.'
