"Young child, I will give you one last chance. If you join us, we will forget about this incident and make you the strongest cultivator in Spirit Heaven. However, if you refuse, then I— and the others here no longer have any reason to continue protecting you." The Sect Master of the Heavenly Academy said to Li Jinxi, offering her a final chance to join their sects.

"I refuse." Li Jinxi immediately rejected his offer, and it was done so in a manner that did not have even the slightest bit of hesitation.

The Sect Master trembled slightly from anger, but he quickly regained control over his emotions.

"Is that so… How regrettable. A talent of your level… We might never see it again." The Sect Master then sat down and closed his eyes.

"You may do as you please, Sect Master Sun."

"I have been waiting for this." Sun Hao immediately released his cultivation base again, instantly flattening the chair behind him.

However, this pressure was not as strong as before, so Li Jinxi was able to endure it without feeling helpless.

'He's going easy on me?' Li Jinxi wondered inwardly.

Sun Hao suddenly retrieved a beautiful zither and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you so quickly. Disrespectful juniors like you need to be taught a proper lesson."

He then pulled a single string on the zither, creating a beautiful yet crisp noise that echoed in the room.

Hearing this music note, Li Jinxi subconsciously retrieved her greatsword and placed it in front of her, and she could feel something collide with her sword the very next instant, sending her flying backwards.

Li Jinxi proceeded to fly straight out of the building and into this empty and spacious area.

Sun Hao calmly walked outside and said, "If you can resist 3 of my strikes, I will let you live. How about it?"

"Does that last hit count?" Li Jinxi asked.

Sun Hao smiled and said, "You want to be a smartass as well? I too can play that game. And no, it doesn't count, since I only talked about it after releasing that strike, so you still need to block three more."

"Very well. I'll accept your challenge." Li Jinxi nodded.

Sun Hao didn't say anything else and took a sitting position, but he did not sit on the floor. Instead, he hovered in the air with the zither on his lap.

The other Sect Masters also came outside to spectate their challenge.

"Then here comes my first strike."

After taking a deep breath, Sun Hao began playing the zither.

Li Jinxi immediately prepared herself for the attack, but nothing happened even many moments later, and only music came from Sun Hao's zither. Furthermore, it was a very pleasant-sounding music.

'This music… What is this nauseating feeling?' Li Jinxi quickly realized that she could barely stand straight after listening to this music.

"First note— Note of Destruction."
