Lin Xiyue's hand, which she had used to measure her height, became the final wisp of breeze that triggered a tsunami within the temple.
"BOOM!!!"
The Metal Slaughter Qi that had just vanished without a trace now exploded with ten times its previous fury.
It was no longer an invisible wind.
It had condensed into solid golden blades, wildly slashing through the hall and emitting a tooth-grinding shriek.
The white jade floor tiles were plowed into furrows of uniform depth.
In the air, one could even smell the metallic tang of rust produced by heavy metal friction.
"Idiots!"
On the throne, the white-haired loli's voice was crisp, yet it carried a tremor that shot straight to the eardrums.
The voice was childish.
Yet it contained an unquestionable Divine Might.
The White Tiger Celestial God was bristling with rage.
Her exquisite little face was slightly flushed from extreme anger.
Her two silver ponytails shook violently, and the golden vertical pupils in her eyes burned with fury as she glared down at the four people below.
"The formation of you four is an absolute disaster!"
"The central axis is off by 3.7 degrees to the left, the height distribution has absolutely no aesthetic sense, and the shield-bearer acting as the fulcrum doesn't even know to shift right?"
"Is this crooked and crooked formation specifically here to physically pollute my retinas?!"
"It's practically driving my OCD to death!"
The White Tiger's speaking speed was extremely fast, like a poison-tipped machine gun spraying the four people wildly.
The first to be covered by her firepower was Lin Xiyue, who had just been measuring her height.
Her little hand pointed from a distance, her eyes filled with disgust as if she were looking at a piece of unrecyclable trash.
"You big guy with the shield, yes, you!"
"There is a 1.3-centimeter notch on the upper right corner of your shield, 0.2 millimeters deep. Are you blind?"
"This kind of flaw will cause a 0.01-second oscillation delay in the energy flow. What's the difference between blocking with this and committing suicide?!"
"Why didn't you use Moonstone powder to fill it? It looks hideous!"
"It's practically a desecration of the word 'protection'!"
Lin Xiyue instinctively lowered her head and looked at the edge of the shield.
That tiny bit of wear and tear she had never paid attention to before now appeared incredibly glaring under the temple's light.
The attack had not stopped.
The White Tiger's artillery instantly shifted.
"And you, the Priest, are you this tall because you're afraid the enemies won't hit you?"
"You even dyed your hair pink, just in case the enemies can't find your head?"
"Your standing posture's center of gravity is shifted to the right, and the distance between your feet is too wide. When moving at high speed, you will be 0.1 seconds slower than the standard movement!"
"This 0.1 seconds is enough for the enemy to kill you a hundred times!"
Lin Qingyue, who had been caught in the crossfire for no reason, silently chewed the milk candy in her mouth and even followed the other's words, quietly adjusting her center of gravity.
It did feel a bit smoother.
Immediately after, the White Tiger's spearhead aimed at Lin Xiyue again.
"And your power generation points! They are a complete mess!"
"Relying on brute force to push through? That's the work of an uncivilized wild boar!"
"Transfer the power of the posterior deltoid to the latissimus dorsi and use the core to generate force. You don't even understand this?"
"You grew so tall for nothing, with developed limbs but a simple mind, a living and breathing mobile target!"
"Take another look at the runes inscribed on your shield. What third-rate craftsman carved this trash?"
"The structure is clumsy and the circuits are redundant! Merge the third and fifth nodes, replace the linear conduction with a spiral structure, and the energy efficiency will increase by at least 40%!"
Lin Xiyue's face turned ashen with anger, and the heavy shield in her hand was almost crushed.
She had lived for so long, yet this was the first time someone had pointed at her nose and called her a "wild boar."
She lowered her head to look at her own well-defined and smooth muscle lines, then raised her head to look at the little thing on the throne that was not even as tall as her shield.
Only one thought was in her mind: This guy is absolutely jealous of my height and figure!
"You little shrimp..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the White Tiger's poisonous tongue had already turned to Su Wan.
"And you, Mage, dressed like you're going to a beauty pageant!"
"This is a battlefield, not a ball!"
"You call that an Ice Crystal Shield? The elemental arrangement is as loose as a leaky fishing net!"
"Is it so hard to use a hexagonal lattice, with the Mana Core as the origin for triangular diffraction?"
"And your mage robes! To keep the fabric form-fitting and warm, you're wasting at least 5% of your mana on useless work!"
"On the battlefield, you're not thinking about how to kill the enemy, but whether your clothes look good?"
"A brainless woman with big breasts! Look at your mana flow: sluggish, chaotic, like a sewer clogged for three thousand years! Disgusting!"
"The third mana meridian on your left side is stagnant. Three stimulations with an Ultra-Cold Ice Needle would clear it!"
The ice crystal at the top of Su Wan's staff was no longer steadily condensing, but had begun to vibrate at high speed in an extremely unstable state.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, but that cold gaze already said everything.
Finally, there was Xia Lian, who was so embarrassed she was about to evaporate on the spot.
White Tiger's gaze was like two scalpels, dissecting her from head to toe.
"And you, Archer! The bloodstain on your bowstring will affect wind resistance, causing the trajectory to deviate by 0.5 millimeters!"
"And your heartbeat! From the moment you walked through the door, your heart rate has been above 120! What are you so shy about?"
"Can being shy feed you? Or can it help you block the enemy's blade?"
"Your legs are too long! A Ranger needs a low-center-of-gravity stance. During stealth, the knee flexion angle must increase by 15 degrees, do you understand?"
"You standing on the battlefield is just a joke!"
Xia Lian subconsciously checked her bowstring and found there was indeed a trace of dried blood on it. Her cheeks instantly flushed red.
Next, she instinctively touched her long legs, and finally pressed her hand firmly on the hilt of the knife at her waist, her fingernails sinking deep into the leather scabbard from the force.
After a round of sweeping criticism, the great hall fell deathly silent.
Only the golden storm of Slaughter Qi was still howling.
White Tiger seemed still not to have had enough.
Her golden vertical pupils stared fixedly at the chests of the four women, and she gnashed her teeth to deliver the final blow:
"And those two lumps of extra fat on your chests!"
"They severely affect your body's center of balance and your attack and movement speed!"
"In high-speed combat, they create unnecessary swinging inertia, affecting your balance judgment by a fraction of a second! In high-speed combat, this is the most fatal burden!"
"Can't any of you use a chest binder or shaping inner armor to secure them? Idiots!"
"Simply shameless! Utterly hideous!"
With these words, Lin Xiyue, Su Wan, and Xia Lian completely lost their composure.
An unnamable fire surged straight to the crowns of their heads.
[Rule Two: Punishment of the Seven Sins] was silently triggered.
In their perception, the negative emotion named "Envy" emanating from White Tiger had reached its peak.
It formed an invisible Negative Divine Realm, beginning to suppress their condition.
The three women grew restless and irritable.
Their attributes, such as Strength, Agility, and Mental Energy, slowly decayed at a visible rate.
How was this a divine inquiry?
This was clearly a one-sided humiliation and curse!
"Clang!"
Lin Xiyue could no longer endure it and slammed [Blackstone's Protection] heavily onto the white jade floor tiles.
The collision of metal and jade unleashed a visible shockwave, making the nearby platinum pillars hum.
The unstable frost at the tip of Su Wan's staff erupted, forming a field of frigid mist.
Xia Lian also silently drew half of the [Fangs of Shadow Strike], its blade flashing with a dangerous, cold light under the golden glow.
[Rule One: Non-Violent Non-Cooperation].
Enemies can be killed by violence, but they will not yield because of it.
But now, they couldn't care about all that anymore.
To be pointed at and called "extra fat," "idiots," and "wild boars" by a little thing not even as tall as a shield, even a mudman would have a temper!
