Zhi Ruo eyed the bloody mess Alberu has made for himself, in judgement and scrutiny. Like she was saying 'oh, do they not really see that act that they call as a mess right there?' However, since everyone said their opinions, Zhi Ruo wasn't the kind of person to go and ruin it for them.So the girl stayed silent and kept to herself. But when Alberu took a punch through this gut, because he dodged it from his face, it made her crack a small smug smile. Though the snort that came from her lips accidentally got out, did, earn her a glance from both of her senior brothers."I know you just laughed," Huo Feng told Zhi Ruo who was snickering to herself. "Why even bother hiding it when you are basically wheezing everytime the guy receives a punch." From the corner of Zhi Ruo's eyes, she could see Han Wanran sighing and sagging on his seat in vague amusement."Whatcha even going to do about it, you twat." The girl muttered under her breath, which was not heard by any other ears but hers alone
However, the more Huang Yanyuan's eyes blurred as his consciousness started to waver. The more he panicked, without relying on his sight, he decided to close his eyes and let his body move as the wind directed him too. This made him catch his breath in the long run, as he steadied himself on his feet.The smoke cleared up, and only a few residue was left around the entire arena. However, when the smoke cleared up because of the two's (Huang Yanyuan and Alberu) movements; that helped disapated the smoke faster— everyone saw that Huang Yanyuan was still closing his eyes without even trying to open them.Alberu breathed, his body maneuvered into a more comfortable position before he stopped entirely. His hand reached out to adjust his mask, his eyes gazing at his opponent in front of him that was struggling to stay unto his feet. Briefly Alberu wanted to know if his fight had amused the audience yet.This, by far, was the only fight that he willingly put himself at risk because he wanted
"Stop." The practitioner'a voice echoed as he went into between Huang Yanyuan and Alberu. His hand was outstretched, clasping Alberu's hand that was holding a ball. Much like the one that he used beforehand, the one where it would explode and turn into a smoke screen. And his other hand was holding Huang Yanyuan securely.Huang Yanyuan was convulsing under the practioner's hand, his body was aching. But his gaze was set upon Alberu, it seemed like he did not even notice the practitioner holding him. It wasn't until he felt the pain on his arm did he finally notice. His eyes snapped towards the practioner, as Alberu snatched his injured hand that the practioner was holding with a sharp hiss under his breath. "What?" Huang Yanyuan managed to croak out, his eyes watched as the practioner put his hand down gently. Huang Yanyuan dropped his hand weakly after being released.The practitioner glanced at Huang Yanyuan with pity crossing his eyes. And Huang Yanyuan could clearly see the emoti
Zhi Ruo gazed at the silent man in front of her, taking note of the fact that most of his wounds are already slowly healing. Meaning that he still got a huge vitality in him tht could help the process of healing, which would also lead Zhi Ruo to believe that he wasn't as tired as he seemed."I was right," Zhi Ruo said thoughtfully to herself. "You are still putting up an act aren't you." She stated. But her words didn't catch Alberu off guard. Rather, he wasn't reacting at all. Then, out of nowhere, the guy laughed boisterously. Like Zhi Ruo just hit the on button somewhere in him."Out of all people to notice, it just had to be you." He stated, his tone matching Zhi Ruo's. And the girl didn't like that. Not one bit liking how he was matching her characteristics, now people are going to think that they are really in cahoots if he keeps that up."Don't sound too disappointed now." Zhi Ruo muttered, Alberu went past her with a stride aiming to go to the podium with or without her. The g
"May the best one win." Yu Zhúlín stood up, he stretched his limbs and motioned for Huo Feng to do the same. The other man stood up with a small smile on his face, seeing that Yu Zhúlín was waiting for him. Yu Zhúlín's response was a nod from Huo Feng. That was as far as Huo Feng's recognition could go."Same here." Huo Feng replied as he went pass Yu Zhúlín and went down the stairs first. Yu Zhúlín blinked from behind Huo Feng, before he too, shrugged and went down the stairs with a serious look on his face.As the two men went off and walked towards the arena. Alberu occupied the seat beside Zhi Ruo, he leaned into the girl's personal space like he wasn't caught bullshiting with her. The girl could already feel the smile that was creeping on Alberu's face as he leaned on."Who do you think would win?" Alberu poked Zhi Ruo's side, he murmured like he was sharing a confidential information. Zhi Ruo resisted the urge to sigh aloud. Her eavesdropping was cutted off because of Alberu's p
The fight tilted into an intense one on one, where both parties cannot conjure up a elaborate spell because of the other opponent's speed. The only spells and techniques that they could conjure up, are the ones that they can subconsciously apply without further thinking. Such as basic enchantments, and step techniques.Which could only do so much in such an intense battle. For the other contestants, the battle was an exciting one. It was then they realized how much the two were holding back on their past opponents. That, or the fact that these two knew so much of eachother's habits that they could not help but step up their game.The wind picked up, and this time, it was not limited inside the barrier. The hats of the bystanders that was watching on the seats around the arena was starting to get blown up by the wind. Even the podium that Zhi Ruo and the others was in started to get a little bit too airy.It was like the wind was heeding to someone's call, and not even the barrier coul
The crackling of the winds did nothing to ease the relentless pursuit Huo Feng was doing on Yu Zhúlín. Significant injuries already appeared on both of the two fighting contestants bodies but neither seemed to have noticed, nor wanted to stop. Their glowing eyes clashed almost eeriely against eachother.And only those with keen senses were the only ones that could see their glowing eyes. Zhi Ruo in particular, felt odd watching the two fighting. Especially both of her senior brother's eyes, she felt that it was familiar of some type of way. But she could not out point why it was familiar.Why would a pair of eyes, much less glowing ones at that, be familiar of some sort? Sadly enough, their wasn't a single Ye clan member around Zhi Ruo now, to teach her the significance of such keen observation. However, even though Zhi Ruo could not ask anybody now. It doesn't mean that she cannot ask later.The girl stood up, and searched for Ravel amongst the crowd, her body was seen peeking out of
The storms suddenly quelled, and there was another person in the middle of the fight. With outstretched arms, the practioner held a talisman on his hand. The whole arena stilled, and slowly, Yu Zhúlín descended to the ground. The glow on his eyes was slowly retreating, and so was his powers.Huo Feng sighed, disappointed, and his powers also retreated much like Yu Zhúlín's. When the two contestant's powers retreated, it revealed the deep set of injuries the two had. But it was obvious that Yu Zhúlín managed to defend himself more properly, because his injuries weren't as bad as Huo Feng's.The practitioner looked at Huo Feng and Yu Zhúlín, and gave them both a knowing look. Yu Zhúlín who looked to still be looking his powers away, did not notice the look that the practioner was giving them. However, Huo Feng certainly saw it, it only deepened his disappointed smile."The winner of this fight has been decided." The practioner's booming vouce woke Yu Zhúlín up from his stupor. He glance
