BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69: Gods
"How are we going to start the training, Master?"
Ying Yue asked, a little puzzled.
"I first want to see how good you are so you will attack with all you have and with the intentions to kill. Remember, killing is necessary on the path of cultivation, without it it's nigh impossible to reach the top. So, give it your all as if you want to kill me. Actually, just kill me!"
Shen Yu said, still having his hand behind his back. He looked extremely confident that Ying Yue wouldn't be able to kill him even if she tried her best. Even she knew that fact.
However, Shen Yu was actually training her for the tournaments. There were many factors involved in winning the tournament and fighting wasn't the only one. One such factor was confident. He wanted to see what Ying Yue would do when faced against an invincible opponent.
Ying Yue's faces grew serious as she contemplated for a few moments before nodded her head in agreement. She was utterly serious as her eyes burned with a strange kind of passion that overshadowed everything she was feeling, be it fear, anxiety and anything.
Shen Yu smiled and then cleared some space for Lan Ming and Xiao Lan, where they would be able to see their fight cleary without getting harmed. Though, the fighting would be difficult for them to watch as it was going to be a assassination fight.
He then summoned two daggers and threw them to Ying Yue. She took it and listened to his explanation.
"They were Twin Shadow Dragons and can help you conceal your aura. They also have a sharp blade which can even peirce Tier 4 Spiritual Creature's body. It should be good for you."
Ying Yue nodded and closed her as she took a deep breath to get ready. She was nervous, too nervous because she was fighting Shen Yu, however she also wanted to give her all so she shoved aside those thoughts. Now, only a cold mind was there, thinking of everything she could do.
Shen Yu picked up a small twig of a tree and waved it a few times. Nodding in satisfaction, he again stood face to face with Ying Yue.
"Don't worry, I won't cheat and only use Cultivation base of Qi Condensation and this as my weapon."
Shen Yu was doing everything intentionally because he wanted to see how good Ying Yue was at handling things. And he had to give it to Ying Yue because she just stood there, like a shadow not moving even an inch. It was as if words didn't affect her reasoning and she was ready to fight.
Shen Yu smiled in happiness seeing that and clicked his finger, saying.
"And the match starts."
The moment those words left his mouth, Ying Yue sprang backwards and disappeared in the wild forest. There was not even a trave of her left, not even residual energy she used to get away.
Shen Yu chuckled as he closed his eye, as he simply waited for Ying Yue to make a move. An hour passed just like that. The wild forest remained silent and dark, with occasional bustling of leaves.
Xiao Lan crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes. Even with her divine soul, all she was getting were some fluctuations from the forest and not the exact location of Ying Yue. Even for her, the task of finding Ying Yue was daunting.
Lan Ming was sitting on the ground, looking around in boredom. After all, for her this was pretty boring fight as she was just sitting and waiting.
Suddenly, Shen Yu opened his eyes as he asked to no one in particular.
"How long do you plan on hiding? Come out!"
Surprisingly, Ying Yue walked out silently from the bushes with a solemn look on her face. Still, she had a strange expression on her face.
Shen Yu looked at in her in confusion and asked.
"Why didn't you attack me?"
"Because I didn't find any openings, Master. It's a fool's Gambit to strike the target when there is no opening. I was trained as an assassin and patient is one of the things I've trained the most. Until I see the opening, I won't attack."
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow before chuckling. He patted her head which made Ying Yue to almost break her serious face. He then said.
"I forgot this is your all out. Assassination. Alright, we'll fight face to face. I'm sure you're good with it too."
"Yes, we were also trained to fight in open so although I don't excel it it, I still can do decent."
"Alright then, attack with all you all and kill me."
Ying Yue nodded as she clutched the identity token and willed the forest to be cleared. In its place now stood a mountain range and they were standing on a big fighting ring with stands surrounding them.
Xiao Lan looked at everything as she narrowed her eyes as her heart grew heavy and she thought
'We are practically Gods who can do anything in this space. Since Sister Yue has the control over this space, she is the god. Master, you're giving too much for your disciples. What if they betrayed you? What if...'
However, then she felt a hand resting on her hand. She turned to look at Lan Ming who had a light smile on her face. She turned towards her and said.
"I can guess what you're thinking, Sister Lan. But you're worrying too much. I know it's because of your past but I request you to see what Master is doing. He's kind and he has put his trust in us, his wives. Do you think a relationship filled with doubts can last long?"
Xiao Lan was tongue tied and simply looked at Lan Ming for answers.
"No, it won't. Master is looking for partners who would accompany him for a very very long time and he wants to have a sincere relationship with us. That's why he put his trust in us, his wives."
She looked at Xiao Lan and asked.
"Then, why do you fear so much?"
