149: Chapter 149 A Broken Heart, A Beautiful Skull

The ninety-sixth floor.

The scene here was completely different from any of the previous floors.

There was no snow filling the sky, no violent thunder, and no hypocritical Buddha light shining down.

Before his eyes was a world of pink, and the air was filled with a strange floral fragrance so cloyingly sweet it made one feel a bit lightheaded.

In the depths of that pink mist, an exquisite pavilion carved from white jade was faintly visible.

Inside the pavilion, a peerless beauty reclined.

She was draped in thin gauze, her curves exquisite; the glimpses of her spring-like beauty were enough to make any man with even slightly weak willpower feel his blood boil.

On that flawless, oval face was a faint, coquettish smile. Her watery, peach-blossom eyes seemed capable of hooking one's soul as she gazed affectionately at Ning Yuan, who had just stepped into this place.

The Saintess of Yaoguang Holy Land—Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land!

The peerless Prodigy possessing the legendary "Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart"!

“Young Master Ning, you’ve finally come.”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land's voice was soft and alluring, like a cat's claw gently scratching at the tip of one's heart, making it hard not to want to indulge in it.

She slowly stood up and walked toward Ning Yuan with light, graceful steps.

“Mengyao has been waiting for you here for a long time.”

As she drew closer, the cloying floral fragrance became even more concentrated.

This was an extremely sophisticated charm technique. Combined with her innate Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, it could silently dismantle an opponent's fighting will, even causing them to sink into an illusion and become her complete slave.

In previous battles, countless arrogant Prodigies had fallen in this land of gentle pleasures, not even knowing how they had lost.

At this moment, deep within Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land's peach-blossom eyes, a glimmer of cunning and confidence flickered.

“No matter how strong your Physical Body is or how high your combat power, as long as you are still a man, you will never escape this Saintess's palm!”

She felt secretly smug as she quietly formed a hand seal.

Buzz!

In the space surrounding Ning Yuan, several pink Formation patterns, difficult to perceive with the naked eye, lit up discreetly.

This was the "Pink Skeleton Sure-Kill Formation" she had prepared long ago!

As long as Ning Yuan's mind was affected by her charm technique even slightly, stepping into the range of the Formation would cause him to be immediately bitten by thousands of pink skeletons, instantly turning him into a pile of white bones!

This was also the trump card she had prepared to deal with those with powerful Physical Bodies like Ning Yuan!

“Young Master Ning...”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land stopped less than three zhang away from Ning Yuan. She bowed slightly, revealing a large expanse of snowy white skin, and her gaze was so soft it seemed it could drip water.

“Young Master's strength is heavenly; Mengyao knows she is no match.”

“How about... Young Master shows some mercy and lets Mengyao pass this level?”

“As long as Young Master is willing, Mengyao will... be at your beck and call from now on, without regret~”

These words, combined with her delicate and charming demeanor, were simply devastatingly lethal!

The male students outside watching the battle through the light screen all stared with wide eyes, constantly swallowing their saliva, wishing they could rush into the Divine Tower right now to take Ning Yuan's place.

“Enchantress! She's simply a peerless enchantress!”

“Too much! Who could possibly withstand this!”

“That kid Ning Yuan is so lucky. If it were me, forget about passing the level—I'd be willing to give her my life!”

Even Jiang Mingyue, who had been standing in the crowd, couldn't help but furrow her beautiful brows as a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.

“Such low-class methods are truly disgusting!”

She subconsciously looked at Ning Yuan, and a trace of... nervousness unexpectedly rose in her heart?

“This guy usually can't even walk straight when he sees a beauty. He couldn't have actually fallen for it, could he?”

She bit her lip, staring fixedly at the light screen.

However.

Just when everyone thought Ning Yuan would lose himself in this land of gentle pleasures.

“Achoo!”

Ning Yuan suddenly let out a loud sneeze without any warning!

It directly startled Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land, who was in the middle of casting flirtatious glances!

“I say, big sister, did you spray too much perfume? Is it low-quality? It’s choking me!”

Ning Yuan rubbed his nose and looked at the seductive Saintess before him with a face full of disgust, as if he were looking at a trash can emitting a pungent odor.

“At my beck and call?”

“With that washboard-like figure of yours, you dare come out and try to play the honey trap? Don't you think it’s embarrassing?”

“Compared to my Second, you’re simply a hundred thousand miles behind, okay?!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

Not only was Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land stunned.

Everyone outside was also stunned.

Jiang Mingyue's pretty face turned red. Although she was being praised, why did she feel... like this guy's words were so asking for a beating?!

What did he mean by "my Second"?!

“You... what did you say?!”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land's originally charming face instantly turned bright red, and her eyes spat fire with rage!

She was the dignified Saintess of Yaoguang, her beauty peerless and her figure coveted by countless people, yet she was called a... washboard by this bastard?!

And he even compared her to that perverted "Jiang the Second" who always dressed as a man?!

This was simply the greatest insult to her as a woman!

“You’re looking for death!”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land completely lost her composure. Her Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart operated frantically, and the pink mist originally used for charm instantly transformed into countless sharp pink blades, sweeping toward Ning Yuan like a tidal wave!

At the same time, she didn't care whether Ning Yuan had stepped into the trap or not and directly forced the activation of the "Pink Skeleton Sure-Kill Formation"!

“Kill him for me!”

Rumble!

The ground around Ning Yuan instantly collapsed. Countless white bone skeletons emitting pink miasma let out hair-raising, shrill screams as they surged frantically from underground, opening their pale bone claws to pounce and bite at Ning Yuan!

“With just these methods, you dare come out and play?”

Ning Yuan sneered, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple.

“Your illusions are a joke before me!”

“Lesser Star Abyss Annihilation Divine Light: Illusion Breaker!”

Buzz!

Within his pupils, the dark Annihilation Divine Light suddenly lit up, like two searchlights piercing the night, instantly sweeping over everything around him!

Under the gaze of those two divine lights, whether it was the overwhelming pink blades or those snarling pink skeletons, they all seemed to have their disguises stripped away, revealing their fragile essence!

“Shatter for me!”

Ning Yuan didn't use any complicated Moves, just the simplest, purest strike—True Dragon Fist!

Roar—!

The violent dragon-shaped fist energy, carrying a terrifying force of one hundred million jin, swept out in a destructive manner!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those pink blades turned into dust the moment they contacted the fist energy!

And those pink skeletons that Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land had placed high hopes in didn't even have time to scream before they were directly crushed into nothingness by that terrifying force!

Even that meticulously arranged Sure-Kill Formation completely collapsed under this single punch!

“How is this possible?!”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land's face paled, her eyes full of shock and disbelief!

Her proud Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, her invincible dual killing Moves of charm and Formation—they couldn't even hold out for a single Move before this man?!

How was this a person?

This was clearly an iron-blooded violent dragon that understood nothing of romance!

“Now, it’s your turn.”

Ning Yuan's voice, like a demon's whisper, sounded in Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land's ear.

Before she could react, a large hand like an iron pincer had ruthlessly clamped onto her slender, fair neck!

“You... what do you want to do...”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land was choked and couldn't breathe. Her feet kicked wildly in the air, and fear finally appeared in her eyes.

She tried to use those pitiful peach-blossom eyes to beg for Ning Yuan's mercy, but in those deep pupils, she saw only coldness and disdain.

“What do I want to do?”

A cruel sneer curled at the corner of Ning Yuan's mouth.

“Naturally... it’s to send you out!”

“Destroying flowers with a ruthless hand—that's what I like best!”

Bang!

As his voice fell.

Ning Yuan showed no pity for the fair sex and directly threw this high-and-mighty Saintess of Yaoguang onto the hard ground like a piece of trash!

“Pfft!”

Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land spat out a mouthful of blood, her magnificent colorful clothes became tattered, and she instantly lost her combat strength, turning into a pillar of light and being forcibly teleported out of the Divine Tower.

Outside, there was a deathly silence.

The sounds of countless male students' hearts breaking seemed to echo in the air.

“A beast! He’s simply a beast!”

“He could even lay a hand on such a delicate beauty like Fairy Mengyao! Is this guy even a man?!”

“A total steel straight man! He's destined to be alone for life!”

Everyone cursed Ning Yuan's lack of romantic sensibility in their hearts.

But at the same time, the way they looked at Ning Yuan also gained a measure of deep awe.

Under that kind of charm, which was enough to make one lose their mind, he could still maintain such a clear head and strike ruthlessly without hesitation.

This willpower, this decisiveness.

It was truly chilling!

Standing in the ninety-sixth floor's space, Ning Yuan brushed the dust off his hands with a look of disdain.

“With just this much skill, you dare come before me to show off your charms?”

“What a waste of my time.”

He turned his head and looked toward the entrance to the ninety-seventh floor, his eyes flashing with a light of excitement.

“Next, there should be more interesting opponents, right?”

He strode over with long steps, without the slightest hesitation.

There were only four steps left to that highest hundredth floor!
