So he could tell that Grace's cultivation was only at the third rank.
Meanwhile, his cultivation had already reached the fourth rank.
Would he be afraid of her?
"What? Not planning to beg for mercy?" Grace asked him.
"You really don't know your place!" Jason Liu tried to grab her.
However, before his hand even reached her, there was a loud "crack."
Jason Liu stared at Grace in disbelief, then looked at his suddenly limp hand, and let out a miserable scream.
Grace had broken his hand!
In this world, eighty percent of people are just ordinary folks.
Only twenty percent are Spirit Practitioners, born with spirit roots and able to absorb spiritual energy to cultivate.
Among Spirit Practitioners, less than ten percent have spirit roots with elemental attributes.
For example, those with a metal attribute have insanely high attack power.
Those with a fire attribute can inflict burns with their attacks.
And so on.
Some only have one elemental attribute, while others have several. The more elemental powers you have, the stronger you are.
They're called Elementalists—Spirit Practitioners with exceptional talent, highly sought after by nations and noble families.
There's also a rare type of Elementalist who possesses all five attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
They're anomalies among Elementalists—the geniuses of geniuses.
Only Elementalists with all five attributes can become Spiritual Alchemists.
Grace is one of those anomalies.
Her reborn spirit root is the Heavenly Five Element Root!
That's a freakish level of genius—talent so great it could look down on the entire continent!
So even if she's only a third-rank, and Jason Liu is fourth-rank, Grace's strength and speed could instantly crush him!
After breaking his hand, Grace moved like lightning and kicked Jason Liu to the ground.
Then, she stepped on him, held her sword to Serena Liu's face, and asked, "What did you just say? You wanted to ruin my face?"
"No... no..." Serena Liu's face went pale. "I never said that, you must've misheard!"
"Never said it?" Grace pressed harder with her sword, and a thin line of blood trickled down Serena Liu's face.
"I did, I did!" Serena Liu hurriedly said. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that!"
"Apologize! And you have to promise me: when you get back, you’ll clear up the rumor that I pushed Fiona Liu off the city tower! Otherwise, I’ll write something on your pretty little face!"
"Write something?" Serena Liu looked confused.
"I'll write 'King' on the left and 'Eight' on the right—put them together, and you get 'bastard!'"
Serena Liu shuddered all over, suddenly feeling like Grace was a demon.
"I'll count to three. One, two..."
Serena Liu glanced at the guards lying on the ground, then at the powerless Jason Liu. She was about to kneel and apologize when her eyes suddenly lit up. She shouted, "General! Help!"
General?
There's a General here too?
Grace turned around and saw Evan Xiao standing not far behind her.
Louis Lin was standing behind him.
Huh? Why is he here?
"General, save me!" Serena Liu cried, as if she'd found her savior. "I'm Serena Liu, eldest daughter of the royal merchant Liu family. Please, help me!"
Evan Xiao strode over to them, his long legs covering the distance quickly.
"What are you doing here?" he frowned, asking Grace.
Grace replied, "I've got a bit of a grudge with them."
"I'm asking why you're not at home, and instead you came here!" Evan Xiao asked, his face darkening.
She was the only woman he cared about—if something happened to her, who could make it up to him?
