Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Jade Emperor
Chapter 36
Huang Yu quickly found the seat that he had been ȧssigned. It was a seat at the front, allowing him to get a perfect view of the battle at all times.
As he sat down, he noticed that there was a barrier separating the audience and the arena, no doubt to give protection to the people watching. It wasn't too strong, with him being able to break it easily if he tried, but it was enough to make sure that stray attacks wouldn't hit the audience.
He made himself comfortable sitting down. This match was between a pretty strong team against his classmates.
He knew that his team was pretty strong, but the enemy team was quite a few years older than them and had higher cultivation than them. It should be quite a long battle due to how close it would be in his opinion..
Sitting there waiting for the battle to start, he couldn't help but realise a few glances coming his way.
He sighed. Being the centre of attention sometimes could be fun, but most of the time it was just a drag.
After a while, both teams that were fighting came out to the stage standing opposite each other. The tension in the air was palpable as both sides stared each other down.
The two teams exchanged a few words to each other, before the referee quickly started the battle.
"Begin!"
Huang Yu watched the battle go on. The battle didn't particularly interest him other than the fact that his classmates were there, but that was all.
The only point that he got a bit more interested in the battle was when Tang Wulin released his Golden Dragon Claws. He hadn't paid attention to it before when he was fighting against or with him, but watching Tang Wulin fight from a third person perspective, he could feel how special it was.
He had been planning to study the genetics of spirit beasts in order to strengthen both himself and the people serving him. Hence, Tang Wulin, showing that he had such a powerful bloodline, made Huang Yu want to study his genetics.
He couldn't just go up to him and touch him to scan him to know his genetics of course. That would be pretty awkward since he would have to be holding him for a long time.
Huang Yu's thoughts about Tang Wulin right now, was a prime reason you don't show off and brag about your special powers.
Luckily for Tang Wulin, Huang Yu didn't plan to go and dissect him. If it had been others who had these thoughts about him, even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough as long as he didn't have any special backing.
At one point, one of the enemies, Zhou Hanyou got triggered about the fact that a bunch of ten-year-olds were causing her so much trouble.
Hence, she summoned her third spirit ring ability. Several icicles that were razor sharp were summoned beside her. With a roar, she sent the icicles flying high up before raining them down upon Tang Wulin at breakneck speeds.
Tang Wulin, knowing the dangers if those icicles hit him, hastily called upon all his spirit power to try and defend himself. Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low and if he didn't have such a strong body from his bloodline, he would have long passed out.
Gu Yue, who had been at the side supporting both Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, teleported to him to stop the barrage of attacks from completely eliminating Tang Wulin.
Clasping both her hands, she summoned both of her spirit rings, the elements obeyed her command as an elemental typhoon not much weaker than the one that had attacked Wu Zhangkong appeared to wreak havoc on the other team.
Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er, the two twin sisters who were on the other team, panicked seeing this. Gu Yue's power was simply too strong for them to handle individually.
The two girls held hands, their aura continuously increasing exponentially as they did so.
Although Gu Yue's attack was ferocious, if the two twins kept increasing their output at this speed, it would even reach a point where even he wouldn't haphazardly take the attack with his body.
Just as those thoughts had entered his mind, Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er began to sparkle as if the two were spirits blossoming in radiance.
The next instant, a white radiance appeared before them, before revealing a giant tree, its icy-blue body seemingly condensed of ice yet bursting with vitality. With the creation of this tree, Gu Yue's typhoon of elements had no choice but to dissipate due to a difference of spirit power between the two.
Gu Yue's expression was pale as the tornado dispersed, she tried to run, but the backlash from the forceful dissipation of her attack didn't allow her to get out of the attack's range.
The referee tried to stop the spirit fusion attack, but it had already been too late. Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er had long lost control of the technique.
The moment Huang Yu saw this, his eyes widened before he shouted in worry. "Gu Yue!"
The two of them had been quite cold to one another for the past few days. However, this was a matter of life and death. It wasn't time for him to be petty about her actions.
A fearsome power erupted from Huang Yu's body, frightening the people around him as he broke through the barrier separating him and the competition stage. He sprang forwards with all his might, putting himself between Gu Yue and the tornado.
Huang Yu noticed that Tang Wulin was approaching as well, probably also in an attempt to protect Gu Yue, but Huang Yu forcefully stopped his movement by stopping Tang Wulin's nervous system from giving instructions for movement.
"Wha–" Tang Wulin said in surprise as he suddenly felt an inability to move.
The reason Huang Yu stopped Tang Wulin from coming was because he was planning on using a new ability on this spirit fusion attack. If Tang Wulin were to get too close, he wouldn't be able to protect both him and Gu Yue properly from the aftereffects of the attack.
Wu Zhangkong, who had appeared in order to protect them suddenly stopped when he saw Huang Yu already going there.
'This may be a good chance for them to fix their relationship…" Wu Zhangkong thought. 'If Huang Yu really can't handle it, then I'll go and help.'
Standing in front of her with his back broad and wide, his eyes didn't leave the giant tree in front of him as he greeted her for the first time in quite a while.
"Yo."
When Gu Yue heard Huang Yu, shock marred her face. She didn't think that Huang Yu would try to help her despite her actions for the past few days.
As she looked at him standing tall in front of her, a pang of guilt filled her heart. Clenching her fists in worry for Huang Yu, she cried out. "Huang Yu! Don't worry about me! Just run! This attack's too strong for you to stop!"
Huang Yu sighed. "If I run, what's going to happen to you?"
When his words entered her ears, she was stunned into silence. She really couldn't understand it. She had been treating him coldly for the last few days, and she could tell that he had been really frustrated with her. Despite all this, why was he still risking his life in front of her like this?
Letting out a deep breath, he relaxed all the muscles in his body.
"Just trust me Gu Yue."
Those words, although spoken softly, made her way to Gu Yue's ears. She didn't why, but she felt as though she could believe those words. Her body subconsciously relaxed as she watched Huang Yu in front of her.
Although both sides didn't know it, those words had planted a seed inside of her on this day.
Suddenly, Huang Yu let out a ferocious roar before swinging his sword towards the spirit fusion attack approaching him. A sharp aura abruptly rampaged outwards as the sword was swung.
When this swing was made, everyone in the vicinity, even those in the audience protected by the already repaired barrier, felt as if they had been stabbed with pins and needles all over their body.
The only one exempt from this, was Gu Yue, who was behind him.
The moment Huang Yu finished his swing, the giant tree suddenly stopped in its movements. For a single moment, the arena was completely quiet
Without warning, the giant tree of ice and fire formed by the spirit fusion attack… split in half. It was a clean cut through the middle, without any imperfections on either side. The giant tree quickly dispersed under the slash.
At the side, Wu Zhangkong's icy persona had broken when he saw Huang Yu's swing.
He couldn't help but softly blurt out, "Was that sword intent?"
