Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1823 - 824: Ants Gazing at the Sky_2

Over there, there was some noise.

...

"Haa!"

Zuo Lv tapped with two fingers, and Hei Ao immediately let out a muffled grunt. Black Fire emerged on his body, forcing Zuo Lv’s fingers back.

Although she retreated, she managed to stabilize herself on the wooden stakes of the Mei Hua Stump, quickly maneuvering around Hei Ao with a movement technique as graceful as a butterfly. But soon, her expression changed drastically, and she suddenly stopped.

She had aggravated her injury.

Though Hei Ao was careless and rough, having cooperated with Zuo Lv for so long and having shared life-and-death experiences, he easily noticed Zuo Lv’s condition and withdrew the Black Flame.

"Let’s stop here for today. Recovery can’t be rushed; let’s focus on healing. As for the Absolute Sect, I have a feeling that Diao Deyi..."

"His mind isn’t on the Absolute Sect."

Zuo Lv interrupted curtly, adjusting her breathing. The poor complexion she had just improved significantly.

"But we have a common goal! Doesn’t he want revenge for Tianyuan Town? Even if it’s just for our sake, he must lend us a hand!"

Hei Ao’s face looked a bit worse, and his tone became sharper.

Zuo Lv sighed at this.

"If we were to use friendship as leverage, of course he wouldn’t turn a blind eye to us. But... I hope our relationship with him doesn’t deteriorate because of this."

Relationship... deteriorate...

Hei Ao, with his bad temper, also restrained himself a bit, understanding Zuo Lv’s intention.

Whether in Tianyuan Town or when they met again in the Capital, their relationship with Fang Yu had always been between equals as friends.

Even if Fang Yu’s strength now might be unfathomable and immeasurably powerful, the friendship wouldn’t fade, and the relationship between them would still be equal.

But if they were to force Fang Yu to do things against his will, pulling him into their plan to destroy Tianyuan Town, that would be a request, an unequal relationship, and that friendship would naturally erode in this process.

Hei Ao didn’t know what Zuo Lv was thinking, but he... still wished to one day catch up with Fang Yu, to fight three hundred rounds with him once again, just like when they first met in Tianyuan Town, fighting side by side.

So after calming down, he didn’t know what to do.

Just then, Hei Ao noticed that Zuo Lv’s gaze went past him, looking behind him.

He turned around to look back.

He saw a pair of men and women, standing outside the Mei Hua Stump, looking at the two of them.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, the man immediately offered a polite bow with a smile.

"Dear friends, are you doing some morning exercises? Although we’ve had our differences in the past, at the moment, if I’m not mistaken, both of you seem to also be imprisoned by the Bo family in this small mansion."

Qian Wu, willing to bend and stretch.

A wayward disciple of the Absolute Sect, also someone to exploit and collaborate with.

As for the grudge against a mere woman, he had long forgotten about it.

Compared to his life, such minor grievances were of no concern to him.

"..."

"..."

Both Zuo Lv and Hei Ao simply looked coldly at Qian Wu.

When facing outsiders, the two have always remained rather indifferent.

Just then...

Crack.

The woman who had been standing with Qian Wu suddenly climbed onto the Mei Hua Stump.

Though her movements were clumsy, Qin Er managed to stand firmly on the Mei Hua Stump.

Afterward, she slowly made a gesture of invitation for guidance.

This was a universally understood gesture. Even without words, Zuo Lv and Hei Ao knew what it meant.

However...

"Qian Wu, control your girl. Daring to provoke us without even having entered the Martial Arts path, don’t blame us if we accidentally kill her."

Hei Ao said coldly.

To him, Qin Er’s beauty was worthless, and that frail body that seemed like it would shatter at a touch didn’t interest him at all.

However, if Qian Wu dared to step up for a spar, they wouldn’t mind entertaining him for a while.

But unfortunately...

"Get down!"

Qian Wu shouted angrily.

Qin Er was mute, though not deaf. Even with her brother’s harsh scolding, she faced Hei Ao and Zuo Lv with a determined look.

Qin Er... wants to become stronger!

In an environment full of monsters around her, she had an even stronger desire to become strong.

Seeking advice from the strong is a great way to grow stronger.

Accumulating so-called Experience Points of Heavenly Sound would allow her to gradually break through until... hopefully surpass that man!

"Can’t understand human words? I said... get down!!"

With a swoosh!

Before Qin Er even knew it, the scenery around her changed suddenly, and she was already on the ground.

The one who pulled her down was her nominal brother, Qian Wu!

"Sorry to let you see this. However, if you don’t collaborate with me, the odds of us leaving the Bo Mansion alive aren’t great. Not that it matters to me, as a scion of the Qian family, the Bo family wouldn’t dare truly hurt me, but for you two, the situation would be precarious..."

Qian Wu was still trying to persuade Hei Ao and Zuo Lv into collaborating, fully unaware of the significant impact his accidental display of some strength had on Qin Er.

How... could the disparity be so vast??

I’ve already stepped into Martial Arts!

Qin Er had been training hard these days, diligently learning from the instructor arranged by her family, having formally stepped onto the path of Martial Arts.

She thought that compared to her freeloading brother and the seemingly weak Hei Ao and Zuo Lv, her strength was not much different.

But the moment she engaged, she suddenly realized that her unreliable, tricky brother who always had insidious methods was so strong, having absolute power over life and death on her!

Actually, Qin Er was mentally prepared, but the reality was a stark contrast that left her a bit unable to accept it.

Because if... she couldn’t even surpass Qian Wu, when would she surpass that man and make him see her in a different light before revealing her identity as Qin Er in a grand drama!

Qin Er felt lost and confused about her own identity.

Without entering Martial Arts, she didn’t know how vast the world was.

Upon entering Martial Arts, she realized she looked at people around her like an ant looking up to the sky, unattainable!

And Fang Yu, towering over her, possessed an absolute gap that filled her with despair!

Don’t be discouraged, don’t belittle yourself! I can do it!

Amid Qin Er’s internal monologue...

"Qian Wu, if you want to work with us, fine. First, come up and fight with us a bit. If you can beat us, we’ll listen to you."

Finding amusement, Hei Ao’s eyes darted as he spoke with a smile.

This request left Qian Wu with no reason to refuse.

His eyes flickered, and he swooshed up onto the wooden stake.

Yet soon, he realized something was off.

Because when Hei Ao said ’us,’ he meant it in the most literal sense.

The two remnants of the Absolute Sect, Hei Ao and Zuo Lv, charged together. They attacked in unison, using both the Black Flame and bewildering Zuo Dao skills, leaving Qian Wu disoriented and almost out of tactics.

Fortunately, after a few exchanges, he gradually adapted, barely able to defend himself, no longer just taking hits.

"I’ll start attacking now, you two," Qian Wu said, met only with a cold snort from Hei Ao.

If they weren’t still injured, would puny Qian Wu really stand a chance for this long...

After all, Hei Ao and Zuo Lv were both geniuses; fighting above their level was routine, it’s just their current poor condition...

"Why did you start fighting?"

They were just thinking of this when a familiar voice sounded from ahead.

The three of them paused, then simultaneously halted their movements.

"Diao Deyi!"

"Finally, you decided to show yourself!"

"Senior Diao!"

The three spoke almost simultaneously, their expressions varied.

Qian Wu showed respect and humility, Hei Ao appeared delighted, Zuo Lv’s eyes softened.

Only Qin Er, slowly turned with a complex expression, looked at the person behind.

Having just stepped into Martial Arts and without having sparred with anyone, Qin Er had thought catching up to Fang Yu was just a matter of time.

But now, the way she looked at Fang Yu was as if seeing a living deity — as strong as an Asura, leaving people in awe!
