Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: 3rd Grade Formation

Xiang Yu momentarily froze when he saw the information floating before his eyes. Gazing through the barrier, he watched the woman hovering beyond the barrier. She radiated such an overwhelming aura that it easily pierced through the formation, pressing down on the entire sect.

At that moment, their eyes met. An evil smile spread across her lips as she stretched her hand toward the barrier. She expected the low-level formation to crumble effortlessly under her power, but her hand suddenly stopped mid-motion. The barrier held firm against her touch.

Her eyes widened in surprise. Such a weak defensive formation should have shattered like glass beneath her strength, yet it completely resisted her power. She wore a confused expression as she gazed at Xiang Yu who had just finished activating the final node of the enhanced barrier.

Their gazes locked once more, but this time, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he smiled back at her.

Then, thick fog began gathering around the entire barrier. She waved her hand angrily, trying to disperse the obscuring mist. When the fog finally dispersed, everything was gone, just an endless forest stretched before her, even with her divine sense, she couldn’t detect anything. She couldn’t even smell the phoenix anymore.

She was furious, how could her prey just slip through her grasp like that. She pulled back her fist and launched a punch at the invisible barrier. The impact sent shockwaves through the air, but the formation didn’t even crack. Instead, her knuckles went numb from the recoil, and she felt a sharp sting of pain shoot up her arm.

"Dammit!" she cursed through gritted teeth, shaking her throbbing hand.

She forced herself to calm down. This place was too strange, why did it house a phoenix, two dragons, six spirits, and such advanced formations? She guessed it was probably the same palace that had produced the divine weapon they’d sensed earlier.

"Wait... six spirits?" A memory surfaced in her mind. The sixth spirit had been appointed recently from a human girl. "If I remember correctly, the name was Li Yao..." she murmured to herself.

Her eyes brightened as all the pieces finally clicked into place. The sect master had always been obsessed with tracking down the immortal inheritance of the Li family. Even after yesterday’s battle, they hadn’t discovered any trace of it. But with everything happening in this place, it was safe to assume that this Li Yao girl was the one with the immortal inheritance they’d been looking for.

And with how this small sect had rapidly advanced to nearly match the great families of the Central Continent, it seemed the inheritance was quite powerful.

"I have to inform the sect master immediately," she declared before vanishing into the distance. _{f.r(e)e\webn.ovel.co\m}

Xiang Yu released a long sigh of relief as he watched her disappear beyond the horizon. Still, his expression remained serious as troubling thoughts raced through his mind. This was only a temporary solution at best. She would undoubtedly return with even stronger opponents. He needed to find a more permanent way to protect everyone.

The best solution was obviously for him to grow stronger, but... just thinking about it made him sigh.

"Senior brother..." Li Yao’s voice called out as she approached with Liu Feng, Li Mei, and Wang Jian following closely behind her.

...

"Senior brother, are you okay?" Li Yao spoke as she instantly teleported from the group. Before Xiang Yu could even blink, she was all over him, her hands frantically checking his arms, shoulders, and face for any signs of injury.

"I’m okay, nothing happened," he spoke, pushing her away from him. But Li Yao continued waving her hands frantically, trying to get closer to him.
