My beautiful CEO wife

The outcome was decided very quickly.

The battle between Hades and Xiao Zheng’s avatar could only be described as a one-sided insta-kill!

In total it didn’t even last a full minute before the fight was brought to an end by Xiao Zheng’s intervention!

If not for Xiao Zheng stepping in in time, Hades very likely would have been injured, and in a worse case, she might even have lost her life!

Just thinking back to that moment of crisis made cold sweat break out all over Xiao Zheng’s body.

Because even he himself hadn’t expected his avatar’s combat power to be this terrifying. Even with only half the strength of his true body, it was still enough to instantly kill Hades!

"You okay?"

Xiao Zheng quickly walked over to Hades and helped her up from the ground.

Hearing this, Hades shook her head and said, "I’m fine, just a bit exhausted."

While she spoke, although she was doing her best to remain calm, Xiao Zheng still felt her right hand trembling slightly. It wasn’t because she was afraid, but because when she had punched straight into the avatar just now, the recoil force had injured her.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help feeling guilty. "It’s my fault for not paying attention and almost getting you hurt."

"It’s fine. After all, this is the first time you’ve used your avatar." Hades shook her head and said, "I didn’t expect the gap between the Supreme Realm and the Creation Realm to be this huge. I can’t even beat one of your avatars now."

As she said this, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Xiao Zheng glanced at her and said, "There’s a whole major realm between us. Even if the avatar only has half my strength, that still puts it at the level of a Transcendent Realm Middle Stage expert. You losing is perfectly normal."

"Don’t worry. With your talent, I believe it won’t be long before you catch up to me."

His words were clearly meant to comfort Hades.

Because Xiao Zheng knew very well that although Hades was usually quiet and reserved, deep down she was extremely proud. Now that she’d been defeated by nothing more than his avatar, she was definitely feeling uncomfortable.

Yet what he hadn’t expected was that Hades wasn’t angry at all.

Right after, Xiao Zheng heard something from Hades that left him stunned: "At most three days, and I’ll be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help being filled with shock. "You’re serious? In three days you’ll break through to the Transcendent Realm?"

Hades nodded slightly without saying anything.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng’s gaze at her instantly became the way one looked at a total freak. After all, the only reason he could break through so fast was entirely because of the help from the Golden Bone. By contrast, Hades had always relied purely on her own talent to cultivate.

In comparison, Hades’s talent in cultivation absolutely far surpassed Xiao Zheng’s.

This was why he was so shocked when he heard she would break through in three days.

Because this kind of monstrous cultivation speed was simply too astonishing!

"Then I’ll stay and act as your protector when the time comes." Xiao Zheng finally managed to suppress his inner astonishment and then said, "You’ve been working hard these past few days; it’s about time I repaid you."

Hades did not refuse his suggestion.

She nodded, then quickly headed toward the quiet cultivation chamber.

Hades currently had many new insights into cultivation, especially after watching Xiao Zheng create an avatar and then fight it. She suddenly figured out many problems she’d never understood before.

On the path of cultivation, this was what was known as enlightenment.

After Hades entered the secret chamber, she immediately threw herself into cultivation.

As for Xiao Zheng, he did exactly what she had done before, quietly standing guard outside the chamber door. It was as if the two of them had exchanged roles, silently watching over one another.

Three days later, a powerful aura surged out from the quiet chamber.

Xiao Zheng, outside the door, was instantly alerted. A look of surprise once again flared in his eyes. He knew very clearly that Hades had really done as she’d said—she had truly broken through to the Transcendent Realm.

Boom!

The stone door opened, and Hades slowly walked out of the chamber.

Although on the surface she looked no different from three days ago, her eyes and her aura had undergone an earth-shaking transformation. If the former Hades had been an unsheathed Divine Sword, then the current Hades was a sheathed war blade.

She no longer shone with the blinding radiance of a drawn Divine Sword, yet no one would dare overlook her edge!

Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up as he asked, "Didn’t think you’d actually break through. How do you feel now? If you were to keep fighting my avatar, how much of a chance do you think you’d have?"

At this, Hades pondered for a moment, then said, "A hundred percent."

Hearing her answer, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh. "Since you’re that confident, let’s head back to the Martial Arts Arena and spar again."

Hades nodded, and the two of them went together to the Martial Arts Arena.

Once they arrived, Xiao Zheng immediately summoned his avatar.

Hades had already taken her stance at the center of the Martial Arts Arena and said to him, "Let’s begin."

Xiao Zheng nodded, then urged his avatar to launch an attack.

The avatar’s strike was still as swift and ruthless as ever, without the slightest mercy.

With twin blades in hand, its aura was that of someone about to cleave Hades in two!

Yet facing the avatar’s assault, Hades remained unhurried. She first condensed a Vigorous Energy Shield, then her speed surged as she took the initiative to charge straight at the avatar for a head‑on clash!

The avatar’s steps faltered for an instant, and Hades immediately seized the opening!

She twisted her waist and, without the slightest hesitation, drove a punch into the avatar!

A terrifying force erupted, and the avatar was sent flying by Hades’s punch on the spot! Faced with this scene, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help feeling surprised, because just three days ago his avatar had been able to insta-kill Hades!

But the fight wasn’t over; the avatar had only been knocked away, not destroyed.

Struggling out from the rubble, the avatar once again charged at Hades with its blades raised. Hades easily dodged the avatar’s attack and then punched again—this time her fists fell like a torrential downpour, endless and unceasing!

Her fists hammered into the avatar’s body like raindrops!

Counting carefully, Xiao Zheng realized that when Hades landed her fiftieth punch, the avatar finally couldn’t withstand that immense power anymore and its body exploded apart!

Though it was only an avatar, seeing it get blasted apart still made Xiao Zheng feel that the scene was a bit chilling.

Fortunately, he quickly came back to his senses. Seeing Hades walking toward him, he clapped and said with a smile, "Nicely done. Didn’t expect that just after breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, your combat power would multiply this much."

Hearing Xiao Zheng’s praise, a trace of laughter flickered deep within Hades’s eyes.
