Chapter 947: The Combat Ability of the Goddess of War

Abusing… kids?

Joanna’s casual declaration left everyone in shock, but they soon calmed down and looked at Su Ping. They would not let her get away easily if he didn’t step in, regardless of her being a friend of his.

“Well…”

Su Ping didn’t expect Joanna to say that, either.?Does she not have any EQ at all? Why does she have to mock this many people?

However, he was also a bit shocked by what Joanna said. He knew that she would never lie or brag. After all, she probably wasn’t even interested in doing so in front of the people present.

It seemed that he had still underestimated her combat ability.

“Sorry. As always, my friend is overly blunt. Please don’t take it to heart.” Su Ping could only apologize on her behalf.

There was a slight change in everyone’s expressions, as Su Ping’s apology was somehow insincere.

She’s always this blunt?

What gives her the confidence to be this way?

“Interesting. If you don’t mind, I’d like to find out how abusive you can be,” said Dragon Shepard with a sneer.

He wanted to vent his fury after being declined by Six Lives Buddha and then spurned by someone else.

The others also had angry looks. Even Luo Ying and Six Lives Buddha remained silent. Although they had lost to Su Ping, they were both proud and would rather not be insulted.

“Not interested,” Joanna said indifferently.

She sounded lazy and casual, as if she didn’t really consider Dragon Shepard’s challenge a big deal.

Dragon Shepard was so angry that he laughed and asked, “Not interested? Are you scared? There’s still time for you to apologize if you are!”

“Scared?”

Joanna chewed on the word for a while, as if searching for a strange and arcane concept in her memories. She raised her head and dropped the indifference on her face. “As you wish then.”

The Goddess of War had fought for countless years in the Demigod Burial and seen countless enemies trembling with fear in front of her. Would she ever be scared?

“Okay. Let’s fight in the sky.” Dragon Shepard snorted and turned around, just about to leave the store.

The Ascendant escorting Dragon Shepard didn’t want them to fight, but he knew it was impossible to stop the young man; the latter’s future cultivation would be affected.

Although Joanna looked gorgeous, she had left a bad impression on a lot of people.

“Let’s do it here,” said Joanna.

She was unable to leave the store, so they could only fight inside.

“Here?”

Dragon Shepard paused and looked at her. “Are you not afraid that Brother Su’s store will be torn apart?”

“You’re too weak to tear it apart,” said Joanna without thinking. Her original self was not strong enough to destroy the store, not even a Superior God could.

“You!”

There it was, yet another insulting statement aimed at Dragon Shepard.

He grimly stared at Su Ping, obviously asking for his opinion.

Seeing those eyes, Su Ping knew it was impossible to persuade him to give up. He said with a bitter smile, “You can fight in the test room. It has strong barriers.”

“Okay.” Dragon Shepard quickly accepted the arrangement.

He had nothing to worry about if Su Ping gave approval.

Joanna, on the other hand, kept her aloof and unconcerned stance as she simply walked toward the test room.

The others could only follow her. They wanted to find out whether this person who seemed close to Su Ping was truly capable, or if she was just being pretentious.

Hardly had they entered the test room when they found that it was a strange place, with a much greater space than they thought.

They also noticed when Su Ping adjusted the room to make mountains and rivers appear to create a battlefield.

The Ascendants, including Mo Tianhua, had surprised looks, as the technology of the Federation was not yet able to do that. It seemed to be the work of some unusual treasure.

Dragon Shepard glanced at the battlefield, then said to Joanna, “Let’s get prepared.”

Joanna stood on the battlefield; she looked at Dragon Shepard, but she didn’t seem interested in talking to him. An ancient spear with a crescent blade on one end appeared in her hand. It looked extraordinary.

That weapon…

Mo Tianhua and the others narrowed their eyes upon seeing the spear. The weapon seemed to be marvelous in their eyes. The way it had been manifested was also intriguing; she didn’t take it out of a space, as it seemed to have been condensed with divine power.

However, the spear was clearly a real artifact.

It seemed to be the way people summoned their personal weapons in ancient civilizations.

The Dragon Shepard summoned his full lineup of dragons while Joanna drew her spear. A lot of horrifying dragons roared as they appeared behind him. Some were massive, looking down from the sky with abyss-like eyes, while others were as tiny as flying butterflies.

“There’s still time for you to admit defeat,” said Dragon Shepard with indifference.

Joanna glanced at the dragons behind him and said softly, “Are those all your pets? You’ve picked such a bunch of slaves as your pets? What gives you the courage act with such confidence?”

“…”

All the people in the room were stunned.?Slaves??All those dragons were rare, yet the woman was describing them as if they were humble beings.

Su Ping put on a bitter smile. He knew that Joanna wasn’t being deliberately derisive; long before she had told him that dragons had been enslaved by the gods in ancient times.

Afterwards, some of the powerful dragon gods established an independent realm to ensure the safety of their species.

However, dragons were promiscuous by nature and had a lot of descendants. Some of their weak descendants had been tamed and turned into mounts by powerful beings.

“I was planning to let go of you, but you went and insulted my pets. I won’t show you any mercy!” Dragon Shepard declared coldly to Joanna and Su Ping.

“Human beings are indeed an ignorant and stupid race.”

Joanna slightly shook her head. It had been a long time since she had heard such a hilarious declaration.

“Roar!!”

Dragon Shepard merged with his pet and let out a furious roar.

The roar echoed in the room like a nuclear explosion. Many of the people present felt a slight headache and were shocked by such development. They weren’t the dragons’ main target, or their heads would have gone blank, which could have been fatal in such a battle.

In the next moment, Dragon Shepard charged at Joanna who had yet to make a move.

He waved his hands and punched heavily with sharp fingernails.

He brutally unleashed strength from his furnace-like body, determined to teach the beautiful woman a good lesson and tear down her indifferent expression.

However, the next moment, the most dazzling golden light radiated in the area!

The spear in Joanna’s hand was activated. It moved like a dragon, illuminating the battlefield with eternal fire. Her eyes were no longer casual at the moment; she looked like a queen looking down at her subjects!

She was the toughest queen!

Her hair fluttered, and her body was covered in golden light. Her spear pressed forward with unstoppable momentum.

Bang!!

Dragon Shepard was flung back. His enormous fist was blown to pieces by the spear; even his arm exploded. He was knocked heavily into the ground, sliding for dozens of meters. The wound was already severe!

No one made a sound.

Everybody looked at the scene in shock, finding it hard to believe.

Dragon Shepard had been seriously wounded by a single attack!

The aura just unleashed by Joanna was unparalleled; she seemed absolutely invincible. Everybody was awed by her glorious halo at that moment. None of them thought she was a weak woman—she was a queen that dominated the world!

The golden light moved closer with immense pressure, like a small sun. The golden light faded, to reveal the point of the spear, which was right in front of Dragon Shepard’s forehead.

“It’s over,” said Joanna indifferently. The sharpness in her eyes was already gone, as if none of her actions would have been brutal.

Dragon Shepard was stunned.

He even forgot the excruciating pain caused by his mauled arm for a moment. His head was ringing; the situation left him shocked and confused.

How did I fail?

I tried to dodge the spear. Why did I fail?

Next to one of the walls of the room, Six Lives Buddha remarked solemnly, “The path of time and space?”

Moments earlier, he had detected that the woman had paused Dragon Shepard’s body with the path of time and space.

He wasn’t the only one who detected that. The Ascendant experts also realized that and shock was reflected on their faces. That unknown woman had mastered the supreme law of time and defeated Dragon Shepard, who had a chance to enter the top three of the prior competition. It was indeed horrifying!

Su Ping was rendered speechless. He knew that Joanna was very strong, but she turned out to be even more horrifying than he thought. It was true that she had never used her real abilities.

“Excellent performance, madam. I would also like to be graced with your teachings,” said Six Lives Buddha as he stepped forward. He then added, “Brother Su, I’m just intrigued; that is why I want to practice with her. I’m not angry or anything.”

“Well…”

Su Ping saw sincerity in his eyes, and knew he wasn’t trying to challenge Joanna because of her bold statement. He immediately said to Joanna, “Be careful and don’t hurt him.”

“…” Six Lives Buddha’s lips cramped.

The others looked at Su Ping, lost for words. Six Lives Buddha had almost become the champion. His two future selves could crush anyone in his level, unless that woman could do the same.

Joanna turned her head, still silent. She simply waved her spear, asking her opponent to prepare.

Six Lives Buddha didn’t underestimate her. She was definitely strong, since she had defeated Dragon Shepard with one attack, even though the latter had not detonated his pets.

He simply summoned his two future selves.

He had already exposed that skill; it would be pointless to keep it a secret anymore.

Joanna seemed to be slightly surprised. She nodded and remarked, “Not bad.”

After that, she glowed again and charged at the Six Lives Buddhas with her spear in hand.

Her attack seemed simple and straightforward. However, she carried as much pressure as an approaching planet that would crush anything in its way.

The last thing that Six Lives Buddha was scared of was a head-on clash. Only fast opponents like Luo Ying were tricky in his eyes.

As they rushed to an imminent clash, the two Six Lives Buddhas grabbed each other’s hands and combined their strength. Countless laws and infinite astral power were condensed as they waved their daggers and slashed with an ancient secret technique!

Joanna, on the other hand, was still stabbing forward with her spear.

However, the tip of her spear shined brightly!

“Oh no!”

A few of the Ascendants changed their expressions.

Mo Tianhua was one of them. He tried to intervene; to his surprise he discovered that he couldn’t launch divine power in that room.

He wanted to interrupt the battle with his small world, but that was also blocked.

The two people had already collided during the pause.

Bang!!

A terrifying explosion burst out, and energy collapsed. Two men were suddenly flung out and sent to the ground, vomiting blood. They were none other than the two Six Lives Buddhas.

Everyone saw and found it hard to believe. They felt as if their souls were leaving their bodies.

They immediately focused on the place where the core of the explosion took place, as they tried to find out how wounded the contender was.

However, they saw that a woman covered in golden light walked out of the blast area in an invincible manner, still carrying her spear.

It was none other than Joanna!

Everyone was wide eyed once the aftermath was clear, since the woman had gone through the clash completely unscathed!

“The skills of the mortals are too primitive,” commented Joanna indifferently.

Six Lives Buddha felt like his chest had been torn apart. He looked up at Joanna, who was standing tall in the golden light, too shocked to speak.

He had failed in a pure competition of strength!

Impossible!

She’s merely a Fate State warrior. How could she be strong enough to suppress my two Star State instances from the future?

Su Ping wasn’t too surprised, given that Joanna’s reincarnation had a Titan Constitution from the god race. He didn’t know which level it would be in the Federation, but it carried a lot of divine power.

I didn’t know laws could be used in such a way…

The spear seemed to merely be stabbing forward a moment earlier, but Su Ping saw how different powers had been delicately condensed in that attack.

The number of laws it contained was astounding.

Outside the battlefield—Luo Ying’s eyes glittered. He flashed to where Joanna stood. “Let me have a try too.”

He simply activated his constitution without hesitating and charged toward Joanna.

She looked back at him, then suddenly moved.

A weird scene happened: both Joanna and Luo Ying disappeared from the battlefield.
