One of the graceful young girls in purple, with delicate brows and clear eyes, had a face as exquisite as white porcelain, skin so smooth it seemed it would break at a touch, and long black hair cascading over her shoulders—her beauty was simply beyond compare.

"She’s so beautiful... Who is she?"

A boy about the same age as William Bennett stared in a daze, unable to look away.

"That’s the recently risen genius of the clan, 'Emily Bennett'!"

Most of the clan’s younger generation recognized the girl in purple.

"She’s only fourteen or fifteen, yet she’s already cultivated to the peak of Martial Arts Level Three, almost stepping into Level Four to become a true martial artist."

"Not only is this Emily Bennett incredibly beautiful, but her talent is also so high."

Some of the boys withdrew their gaze in a daze, feeling inferior and not daring to look directly at Emily Bennett.

Emily Bennett was not only beautiful, but also possessed a pure and refined aura. Her bright eyes were flawless, far surpassing the ordinary and mundane.

Even John Bennett’s eyes lit up when he saw Emily Bennett.

"It’s her..."

William Bennett also recognized Emily Bennett.

Emily Bennett was a member who had come from another branch of the clan half a year ago.

Her cultivation was on par with James Bennett, but she was even younger!

It was hard to imagine that such a person could emerge from a branch family, reaching this level despite disadvantages in resources and martial arts.

Perhaps, this is what it means to be a genius!

What is unattainable for ordinary people is effortless for a genius.

When William Bennett had seen Emily Bennett before, he had already felt her beauty was astonishing. As an ordinary boy of the same age, he was naturally drawn to her. But even then, William Bennett knew that with his cultivation and status, he and Emily Bennett were people from two different worlds.

As Emily Bennett approached, John Bennett and the others eagerly went up to greet her.

William Bennett remained very calm, directly sizing up Emily Bennett.

If it had been before, William Bennett would have felt inferior in front of such a talented beauty as Emily Bennett, not daring to look at her directly.

But today, he could appreciate her so calmly.

As he observed, William Bennett’s left eye unconsciously activated a little.

Through his left eye, Emily Bennett’s slender and graceful figure was revealed even more clearly before William Bennett.

Huh!

With this look, William Bennett was startled.

Vaguely, Emily Bennett’s clothes seemed to gradually fade, almost revealing her undergarments and snow-white skin...

Of course, his left eye couldn’t see through completely; even if it could, it was very weak.

It was just that his vision far surpassed that of ordinary people, allowing him to see things more clearly.

The difference was that ordinary people’s vision could only observe from a distance, while William Bennett’s vision could zoom in, almost like viewing at “zero distance,” to the point where it almost had a “see-through” effect.

At a certain moment, William Bennett’s left eye ability was pushed to the limit, and the pale blue spiral halo in the pitch-black space spun rapidly.

Suddenly, in his field of vision, Emily Bennett’s clothes, and even her body, almost completely faded, becoming nearly transparent.

With his left eye, William Bennett saw streams of smoothly flowing blood and energy—though they were like tiny trickles, they were both gentle and powerful, faintly tinged with a hint of pale purple aura.

"Emily Bennett’s talent is terrifying! She’s about to cultivate ‘martial inner strength’..."

William Bennett was shocked and took a deep breath.

In terms of age, she was only a year older than him, yet had achieved so much.

On the Qinghua Continent, most “martial apprentices” remain stuck at Level Three for life, unable to comprehend “martial inner strength” and break through to Level Four.

But Emily Bennett, at just fourteen or fifteen, was about to cultivate martial inner strength. It was only a matter of time before she became a true martial artist.

"My left eye may not be able to see through completely, but its perception of blood, martial inner strength, and other powers is very strong."

William Bennett’s left eye twitched repeatedly as he came to this conclusion.

Just then, the focus of everyone’s attention, Emily Bennett, seemed to sense something. Her beautiful eyes turned and suddenly looked toward William Bennett.

William Bennett didn’t avoid her gaze, but simply withdrew his left eye’s ability.

Emily Bennett felt strange—just now, she had the illusion of being stripped bare, with all her secrets exposed.

"What happened over here?"

Emily Bennett withdrew her gaze and looked around.

"Yufei, here’s what happened..."

John Bennett and the others exaggeratedly recounted the “whole story.”

"So that’s how it is."

Emily Bennett glanced at William Bennett with a hint of surprise.

William Bennett understood that in this situation, it would be hard to explain himself, so he simply didn’t bother.

"Kid! Your actions just now have angered everyone. Now I’ll give you a chance to apologize to everyone."

John Bennett said with a hint of arrogance.

Apologize?

I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize?

William Bennett curled his lips.

"As long as you apologize to us, this matter will be over."

John Bennett said graciously.

In front of a beauty like Emily Bennett, he naturally wanted to show off.

"Apologize? Impossible." William Bennett was completely unafraid. "Everything just now was only your personal speculation."

As soon as he said this, many people—including Emily Bennett—frowned slightly.

"This William Bennett really doesn’t know how to read the situation."

Emily Bennett’s elegant brows furrowed, and her impression of William Bennett worsened a bit.

"Kid, you’re good at arguing, aren’t you?"

John Bennett laughed instead of getting angry.

"If you don’t apologize, don’t even think about leaving."
