Dance Of The Phoenix
24. No Day Without Problems

There were not many new things for now, including the strength of low-level monsters. Like the level 1 Leopard, Gu Yuena dropped it with just her death kick and a little trick like in the past.

It turned out that the strength of a level 1 monster was just like the ferocious beasts in his world back then. Lately he had only found a level 1 monster attacking a new disciple.

Without taking elemental energy, just by killing those monsters for an experiment, made the new disciples who felt 'saved' think the beautiful little man was really cool.

They misunderstood that Gu Yuena was willing to lose elemental energy for them. Because so far, Gu Yuena let the new disciples take elemental energy, aka handing it over voluntarily. If there was no one around, he would let the elemental energy evaporate by itself.

Gu Yuena did not care about elemental energy thieves or the like. Whenever there were bad kids who wanted to steal elemental energy, he handed over his empty token with a smile. It made him ignore the bad boys.

That nice. It is not necessary to commit violence against a fellow human being, let alone kill.

One day passed smoothly like a river water squeeze.

The silent night greeted the sleeping Gu Yuena to recover her energy since the afternoon. He slept on a big tree. The small body is very fitting with a tree branch so that it can sleep comfortably.

Deep in the tranquility of the forest and the soothing night wind, Gu Yuena felt like she was in her room.

Well, although his bed this time was tougher, but it was no problem considering his current location was in the wild. If you could bring a mattress, Gu Yuena had done it from the beginning.

In the middle of the night, a pair of bright amber eyes of Xiao Hei who was asleep on another branch opened. He looked towards the distance with narrowed eyes, like he was welcoming something.

The sound of footsteps rang out. It looked as if a group of new disciples were running like they were chasing something through the forest. They ran quickly, then stopped once some other disciples blocked their path and began to besiege.

"Quick! Leave all the elemental energy to us!"

"If not, don't blame us for being rude. We've given you a chance, but we've been wasting it."

The beleaguered disciples retreated slowly back to each other. Their fury seemed anxious, but they did not simply surrender.

"If you want fire element, take it from the monster you defeated, do not steal the property of others!" One of them defended.

"Huh, this bunch of trash still doesn't know themselves either."

"Boss, how about playing around first to teach them a lesson?"

The tall man called the boss showed an evil smile while smothering his chest. "Yes, it looks like it's going to be exciting. Outside the academy, we are free from the rules. Accidentally or accidentally killed will not be blamed."

"Boss Liu is Young Master Xiao's bodyguard from the Prime Minister's residence. You better give up now before your lives are gone!"

"You hear that? Quickly surrender now!"

The group of new disciples that were besieged were urged in such a way. Some of them were pushed, then trampled and then robbed their bags.

Seeing his friends being persecuted, one of the young men rebelled and pointed at the Liu clan with a sharp look.

"Liu Zhang, don't think I'll give up on you! Release them!" The young man went berserk while attacking the disciple who was persecuting his friends.

"Deliver? Then, try it yourself." Liu Zhang laughed out loud looking at the young man who looked crazed.

Liu Zhang's subordinates held onto the young man and ganged on him until he could not bring out the power. After the young man couldn't do anything, they hit the young man together with a laugh.

"Isn't it fun trying to do it yourself? Blame yourself for rejecting Young Master Xiao's invitation, otherwise you would definitely not be in such a situation." Liu Zhang snorted while watching.

He glanced at the female new disciple who was sitting in fear after her bag was robbed. He showed a slanted smile. "Your face is good. If you're willing to join, I'll give you a little leniency over your punishment." He stretched out his hand about to touch the face of the silent woman in front of him.

When the group of brats beat up the young man, a bright blue ray burst out from him throwing the scowling mischievous children. The young man got up with a bruised face and was full of wounds. With the blade of the sword in his hand, he charged towards Liu Zhang with fury.

"Liu Zhang! Keep your dirty hands away from my friends!"

The other brats confronted the man using a shield. But their strength was lost until it had to be knocked down. Inevitably, the big-bodied man behind Liu Zhang had to intervene and give him a death blow right in the face.

"Your friend is not angry, but you are angry. Truly a loyal friend, I'm so envious." Liu Zhang sneered as he looked at the young man who was now lying covered in bruises. He grimaced then looked at the woman and clenched her jaw.

The woman was about 17 years old. His delicate face pressed down on Liu Zhang's hand to make him in pain. Tears began to come out as he endured the pain.

"You crying?" Liu Zhang snorted. "Save your tears. Now you have to come with us or all your friends will be the tiger we're fishing for!"

The woman said nothing. Secretly his hand emitted a faint light blue radiance, appearing to flow like water and was about to attack Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang knew it first. He held the woman's hand hard.

"You're getting bolder." Liu Zhang took out a blade to teach the woman a lesson.

But the unexpected happened.

A small knife floated in the air slashing his hand which gripped the woman's face. Liu Zhang was startled, spontaneously removing the grip and looking at the blade that turned around like a boomerang to strike it back.

The detained woman did not betray the opportunity. He bit Liu Zhang's hand, grabbed his hand, then kicked the sensitive part of the man hard to the point of falling over.

The black-robed woman broke away quickly and went to the battered young man to help.

"Why are you guys just quiet? Quickly find the culprit and attack them all!" Liu Zhang shouted as he groaned in pain holding down his aching stomach.

The battered new disciples could not fight anymore. The woman who had just approached her friend immediately turned her head, then cast a spell to create a shield protecting her friends from the group's attacks.

Shields accompanied by water bubbles appeared, along with various weapons being smoothed out as if they were going to pierce through the enlarged water bubbles blocking them.

One of the swords approached the bubble and was about to damage it, but suddenly the same flying blade appeared repelling the sword and other weapons.

The flying knife moved quickly in each weapon as it was controlled. In an instant, the weapon holders dropped their weapons due to the pressure of the flying blades hitting too hard.

"Who!" Liu Zhang was very surprised. Obviously their prey was injured and was in a bubble, there was no way he would miss someone. Someone must have helped them.

The bad boys spread their eyes to each side and the trees shady. It was as if there was no life in the distance, yet the flying blade that had once again appeared shocked all of them.

The flying knife split the air almost hitting them. If it did not dodge properly, then the flying blade would have definitely pierced through their various vital points and died in an instant.

The flying blade did not stop moving, yet not a single one had managed to spill blood as if it was just playful. To be more precise, the figure behind the flying blade had deliberately dodged the attack to mentally disturb them!

Liu Zhang had a hard time, not to mention with his pained part of his personality being kicked out. He deflected the flying knife, but it always missed so he just split the wind. Only one blade flew, but those who numbered eight were already overwhelmed like this.

"Don't just hide in the shadows like a coward. If you dare, go out and face it head on!" Liu Zhang was very upset at the owner of the flying blade. To make matters worse, his abilities looked very different from the figure in the shadow!

"Truly disturbing."

The voice sounded from one direction where the trees were thickly huddled. They all looked at a large tree, then saw the figure of a tiny young man with delicate features on his face leaning against the branch of the tree while yawning.

Liu Zhang was surprised. Why can't he feel the boy's presence?

"It's late, it's still noisier. Aren't you taught that young children shouldn't sleep too late?" The tiny youth on top of the tree clucked violently. his red irises seemed to glow in the darkness of the night.

Liu Zhang scoffed, then pointed at the young man. "You attacked us with a flying knife?"

The flying blade that out of nowhere fell into the young man's hands."Who else? Blame you for bothering me to sleep. Since the afternoon I've been here, you don't know." The young man sneered and began to grumble silently. His face looks lazy.

"You ...." Liu Zhang was extremely annoyed. "Down and finish openly when you're a real man!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not a man" the young man muttered in a very small voice. She was obviously a girl disguised as a man. But since the other party had challenged him, what could be done?

The young man jumped down from the top of the tree. A black cat followed him, sitting on his shoulders growling.

Lazily the young man said, "Come on, get it over with quickly."

Liu Zhang took a sip. Just a skinny and weak brat, there was absolutely nothing to fear. At most the flying blade was just a mere threat and would not be able to kill anyone. He has nothing to fear.

Liu Zhang took out his sword and jumped at the young man. Flames formed around his body, concentrating power into the sword to resolve matters quickly.

The young man only looked without any intention of taking out a weapon. He lowered his head back avoiding the sword he had drawn. His legs were raised upwards and leaped backwards while giving Liu Zhang a light kick.

Liu Zhang dodged, then used his fire to devour the young man. The sword in his hand was unleashed at high speed thus forming a huge incision that attacked his opponent.

The young man avoided every attack. His movements were extremely fast even without the strength of the elements, as if he did not need them.

With just a few moves, his feet landed on Liu Zhang's head until the man staggered. Next, the young man's knee was lifted to give an attack on Liu Zhang's heart.

Liu Zhang was swayed at that very instant because of the opponent's physical strength!

Not stopping there, Liu Zhang's fire-filled sword was broken just like that and broke with just a single blaze of fire from the young man's hand. Liu Zhang was stunned, before finally the final kick floated in his head until he was completely mired in shame.

"My Taekwondo is very useful." The young man who was Gu Yuena was smiling slantingly while cleaning his hand from the ashes of the sword he had melted.

Liu Zhang's men immediately approached to help their boss while exclaiming many times. They looked at each other after seeing their boss attackers, then agreed to attack together.

Gu Yuena scoffed. "Ck, play crackle." Just look, he will get a consecutive savage in this game.

Their attacks were carried out by Gu Yuena without having to use elemental power. Gu Yuena dodged some to attack others, then used her opponent's hands to deal with other opponents simultaneously.

In just a few tricks and punches, Gu Yuena knocked the sheep to the ground and snatched the elemental energy token until it gathered in one hand.

The new disciple who had previously been protected by the water bubble was stunned to see him until he could not help but drop his jaw.

So strong!

Gu Yuena threw those tokens to the ground just like that. The number of new students who were bullied were five, while the tokens he took amounted to thirteen— already belonged to the brats. Just by moving the eighth elemental energy of that token, it was enough to replenish the elemental energy within their five tokens.

The previously severely injured youth rose up to approach the indifferent Gu Yuena. The other friends also followed, before finally kneeling down to say thank you.

"Thank you, I owe you one. If there's anything you need or need help with, you can find me." The young man said solemnly.

Although his body was slightly larger and taller than Gu Yuena, he did not underestimate Gu Yuena's strength after seeing how the refined-featured young man was beating up the brats.

The woman who made the water bubble was also very grateful. "I'm also grateful to you .... I don't know what I can give you to thank you, maybe you can take the elemental energy in those eight tokens."

"really. You have defeated them, so you better take it."

The others also thought so with a restless face that bothered Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena's flat face formed instantly.

"I don't need to." Gu Yuena had just wanted to leave, but the five people had actually approached her because they felt bad.

The young man said, "You have saved me, also saved Lin'er. I, Mu Xinhuan, will not forget it. Therefore, accept our good intentions."

Gu Yuena was instead goosebumps with their good intentions. Really, he doesn't want anything. He only felt annoyed because Liu Zhang had bad intentions on the sweet woman named Shen Jialin and felt her sleep was disturbed. The rest, just walk.

"You may misunderstand. I'm only here because I'm disturbed. I was sleeping, and you guys were making a fuss. If it wasn't for pity, I wouldn't have forgiven you either." Gu Yuena used rather harsh words to push them as far as possible.

They all fell silent because of Gu Yuena's words. Good, Gu Yuena will not deal with them anymore and focus on cultivating. Since they had already said nothing, Gu Yuena chose to leave.

"Can you join us?" Shen Jialin suddenly offered Gu Yuena to join. Gu Yuena glanced at him, making Shen Jialin misbehave. "I mean .. The six of us can go to the academy together. More people are better. You just offended Liu Zhang, the person behind him will not remain silent."

Precisely because of joining them, Gu Yuena could get into trouble. "Sorry, not interested." After all, he can handle his own problems.

Gu Yuena went into the darkness.

Shen Jialin looked like she wanted to stop him, but Mu Xinhuan held her back then shook her head.

"We'll meet again, no need to worry. I'm sure, he can handle that Young Master named Xiao Ming."

Shen Jialin sighed, looking disappointed. "I want to know him and befriend him."

Mu Xinhuan smiled. "When in the academy, we'll have a chance." He also looked at his three friends. "We continue the journey."

Mu Xinhuan picked up the tokens scattered in vain, then divided them while continuing on his way. They let the eight brats lie alone in the forest.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The sky welcomes the new season in the dense forest. A strong wind blew along with a cloud of cloud, a sign that all the participants had to rush to arrive at the academy.

But for Gu Yuena, there was no day that sided with her that yearned for tranquility. In just a few days, Gu Yuena had walked to the periphery of the barrier that the academy used to keep no students from going too deep.

Apparently, the barrier has now been broken. There are a lot of crack marks on the transparent area divider. The crack lit up with a golden radiance, making it look terrifying.

"Did a high-level monster ruin it?" Xiao Hei was surprised by his own argument until his eyes bulged. "How's this? Where are the powerful monsters that ruined it? Miss, we need to get out of here!"

"Shut up!" Gu Yuena was somewhat annoyed at Xiao Hei's chatter. He glanced at her, then sighed. "The academy people must have known about this. They'll fix it soon. This barrier is too kama, it could be weakened and hit by monsters. After all, the barrier had not been destroyed, there were no high-level monsters."

Xiao Hei ber'oh'ria with that innocent look. He sniffed, his look became complicated when he smelled something. "I feel a familiar smell."

"Is your nose stuffed?" Clearly he had sensed the presence of no one other than wandering monsters and unfamiliar new disciples.

"Miss, I really said it." Xiao Hei felt pain hearing Gu Yuena ridiculing him.

Gu Yuena turned the eyeballs. Her day was always not good, it just so happened that she saw something out there hiding in the bushes. A pair of sharp red eyes.

He looked at the overcast sky, then said, "We continue the journey, I don't want to get soaked."

Xiao Hei pouted all the way following Gu Yuena like a chicken.

But before they actually left, the sound of shards accompanied by scattered fragments blew Gu Yuena and Xiao Hei out of place.

"Meoww!" Xiao Hei hit the tree trunk, away from Gu Yuena who crashed. He immediately stood up and climbed a tree to look for his nona. "Miaws! Miss!"

Gu Yuena was blown quite far away by the wind that was blowing so fiercely as if something was approaching. He managed to keep his body from falling, but his gaze was interrupted due to the whirlwind.

A large hole appeared in the broken barrier. The cracks get bigger between the holes formed from the dividing shards where the wind originated. The size of the hole was extremely large, it was impossible to come from a human or a low-level monster.

"It's true there are high-level monsters." Gu Yuena clucked. The day is always shit.

The huge feet of a monster were treading on the ground. His pointy claws scratched the ground he was treading on when walking. Due to his size, Gu Yuena's height could not even reach the monster's body.

Gu Yuena looked at the big foot in front of her in silence. He looked up, seeing how big a monster was now bowing its face to look at it up close. The big head and the hard breath were completely beyond belief.

Those razor-sharp red eyes collided with Gu Yuena's blood-red netra. Gu Yuena retreated subconsciously, before finally the monster let out a roar that breathed out a strong wind.

The roarrrr!
