Dance Of The Phoenix
34. Fierce Battle

A large amount of elemental energy had accumulated in the token. So far, he had only met level 4 monsters and defeated them all day.

Already the third day, Gu Yuena gathered the abundant qi within the forest and managed it to level up. When it reached level 5, the qi that entered and digested within the dantian evolved and fused with the flames in its body to become a real power.

That evolution would give him many improvements and forms of qi that could be controlled using the power of the mind. But before that, he had to complete the level 4 stage and achieve magic success at the 4th star.

The control of the fire and qi in his body was getting better all the time. In spiritual awareness, the fire begins to fuse with the qi that enters the body and becomes a force of its own.

Magic success is shown by good element control, the elements will be completely fused with qi and body which can increase the basic attack power. It was a normal situation where the actual increase in strength of level 4 was completely manifested naturally.

The small and delicate flame that raged on Gu Yuena's body slowly shrank as if it were herself. The phoenix symbol lit up between his eyebrows, the power within it channeled turning a normal flame into a flame that was different from most.

The phoenix blood had pushed Gu Yuena to her limit to level up smoothly. Usually people will experience pain like being cut into pieces every time it will rise in level or just increase in stars, but phoenix blood can get rid of it into a feeling of warmth and calm like a lake.

However, the higher Gu Yuena's strength, the feeling of improvement would get worse. Most likely, he would get excruciating pain one day when he was about to level up to the highest level. Under those conditions, the phoenix blood would be useless for the sake of forging the blade to become sharper.

Gu Yuena opened her eyes after feeling her body undergo a lot of changes. His red eyes filled with flames became extinguished, accompanied by his entire shrinking aura returning him back to his original form.

"Level 4 stars 4 .. not bad." Though Gu Yuena was hoping to directly ascend to level 5. It only takes one more upgrade, it will reach level 5. Basically in order to reach the highest rank in the academy, he would have to reach level 5 at least.

Gu Yuena sighed. There's a lot he has to do. While the age will be 18 years, remaining 2 years of his life to find all the answers.

In moments of minding a dizzying matter, the rustling sound of leaves made his attention distracted. Xiao Hei came out from behind the bushes with quick steps and worry in his eyes.

"Miss! There is a level 6 monster approaching, likely due to sensing the phoenix blood aura, we should leave here!"

Level 6!

Gu Yuena was surprised. Although he was in the monster territory, but he was very sure that he had stayed away from the dangerous territory where there were many high-level monsters. If it was only level 5, Gu Yuena would not be surprised. But what about level 6?

Level 6 monsters only dwell in one place and attempt to expand the territory by fighting with other high-level monsters. They are not interested in humans and have high prestige if they want to enter the territory of other monsters if not to kill the owner of the territory.

"Damn!" Gu Yuena went up and left as quickly as possible. At the same time, the ground shook as if something slithering moved swiftly from underground.

As Gu Yuena was about to jump further to make her escape, the ground shock grew louder and a huge crack arose. Right in front of Gu Yuena, the ground in front of her was uncovered like shards of glass taking out a 30-meter-long snake with its giant body. It looks like a cobra with a wide head.

Gu Yuena retreated a few steps without lowering her guard. His red iris was directed at the big green-eyed snake. Of the many monsters he encountered, this was the biggest.

"Xiao Hey."

It was at that moment that Xiao Hei enlarged his body, then roared in front of the huge snake to head him off from Gu Yuena. No matter if the snake was twice as big as him, he should not let his nona hurt.

"There's no time to escape. We beat him fast." Gu Yuena convinced herself.

Even Su Churan could kill a level 5 monster. He who had trained hard with some magic techniques and phoenix blood should be able to surpass it.

The snake just attacked for no reason. Xiao Hei as much as possible distracted the snake from Gu Yuena so that Gu Yuena could attack freely. But the snake was not stupid. He put away Xiao Hei with his huge tail and attacked Gu Yuena simultaneously.

The fire in Gu Yuena's hand flared, burning right at the mouth of the snake that was about to devour her. Inevitably the snake pulled its head feeling the heat of the phoenix flames that had fused with Gu Yuena's flames.

Gu Yuena did not lose the chance. He leaped onto the snake's body and searched for its weakest part between the hard, steel skin that was hard to break through.

The snake squirmed on the ground and rebelled. He rolled up his body to catch Gu Yuena and wrapped around her, but the appearance of Xiao Hei insisting on tearing her apart was too disturbing.

The snake repeatedly knocked down the tree due to the slash of its tail to get rid of Xiao Hei. But Xiao Hei was too agile, whereas Gu Yuena still continued to launch attacks from various directions.

If it was like this, he would lose to those annoying humans and monsters.

The snake's iris quickly changed color. From green to purple and shot out a force from his eyes to push Xiao Hei further.

Xiao Hei managed to dodge a few times, but the snake's tail distraction diverted everything and exposed him to the snake's eye attack. The snake's eye attack was a psychic attack, leaving Xiao Hei instantly confused and lost in the snake's mental strength.

Xiao Hei did not gain complete control over his body and was unable to move as the snake's mouth widened towards him with large pointed teeth.

"Dare to touch mine!" Gu Yuena appeared like a bolt of lightning right in front of Xiao Hei who was sculpting.

He formed a sword of fire and placed it between the serpent's mouth so that it could not keep its mouth shut. Afterwards, Gu Yuena pulled Xiao Hei into another position despite the great difficulty.

"Xiao Hey, are you okay? Can you hear me?" Gu Yuena was worried. Xiao Hei did not respond at all, whereas Xiao Hei's irises became purple like that snake. Gu Yuena growled for a moment.

"Just calm down, I'll finish it. You've worked hard." Gu Yuena rubbed Xiao Hei's head gently, before finally the black creature turned into a sleeping little cat.

Gu Yuena turned to look at the snake that had just managed to release the sword stuck in her mouth until it could not close its mouth. He looked at Gu Yuena with anger, then charged fiercely.

Gu Yuena was hurtling at high speed. His movements were like shadows that appeared on each side and cast such powerful magic. The snake was repeatedly engulfed in the fire of a phoenix that was difficult to extinguish, but repeatedly the snake changed its skin or regenerated quickly.

Really troublesome.

Gu Yuena unleashed the magic to one point of the snake's body part, then made a connecting magic at another point to bind the snake. If it wanted to destroy quickly, it had to restrict the snake's movements.

The magic connected to form a rope of fire hard money destroyed. Gu Yuena released him in various areas. Every time the snake moved, Gu Yuena's flames would slash it deeply.

The snake was confused for a while as it could not find the real manan Gu Yuena among the several shadows that shot out at each point of the magic net. Until Gu Yuena's movements were finally detected, the snake immediately shot out and spouted deadly poison right towards Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena just in time ensnared the snake with the magic net she made. The head of the snake escaped and managed to remove the poison from its mouth like a shooting laser. Gu Yuena quickly dodged, but the movement left the power of the fire net unbalanced.

As much as possible Gu Yuena did not stare into the snake's eyes, or he would be caught in the same trap as Xiao Hei. He leaped quickly on the snake's head, then used his magic to tear the snake's skin and flesh.

Unfortunately, it did not make the snake die. The snake was even more ferocious trying to escape from the trap. The net Gu Yuena made was shattered, while the snake shot out at high speed and crashed into Gu Yuena with its head until it crashed.

Gu Yuena fell. His gaze shifted on the reawakened snake, showing its middle body torn in two like a hole slowly fusing back together.

Gu Yuena did not look unhappy. He smiled instead, before finally standing up to prepare a large shield for him and Xiao Hei.

"Bombs."

Right after saying so, the body parts of the regenerating snake gave off increasingly larger red rays. The snake seemed to panic realizing it. But too late, that red beam had burst out creating a rain of red flowers splashing into various regions within a certain distance.

The enslaved fire burned the snake's body when the explosion occurred. The huge explosion caused the snake's body to split in two. His head was teepental somewhere, while his tail was burned by the fire accompanied by red flowers flashing.

Gu Yuena looked at him with a calm looking smile. Very calm. It seemed happy to see the red flower on his head falling like rain.

He felt nostalgic.

"It turns out I haven't changed." He grunts.

Gu Yuena turned her body to look at the head of the serpent that was thrown. His forehead wrinkled when he saw the snake begin to refine his body again. He seemed to be reborn, in a split way.

"Damn! You tapeworm!"

He must stop it!

The red magic in his hand appeared. Gu Yuena leaped towards the snake which started to form its entire body quickly.

The snake realized Gu Yuena was about to stop him. He was just about to run, but Gu Yuena had stood in front of him and was about to launch an attack. The snake had no other choice but to attack with its terrifying sharp teeth.

Gu Yuena unleashed the magic forward, right towards the snake's mouth that was wide open. The phoenix fire magic entered into the snake's mouth like a darting spear blade. The red magic pierced through the tip of the snake's body which was forming a new body. The magic was magnified, propagating throughout the snake's body like a creeping root to stop the formation of new bodies.

When the magic holding the snake had crept to the head, Gu Yuena added a magic twine until it looked like a cocoon that was caging the caterpillar in metamorphosis.

The longer it gets thicker. Gu Yuena pressured both her hands to have her magic shrink and made the snake disintegrate in her magic without any residue.

Sraaa

The snake-shattering magic scattered as it finished shrinking, leaving behind bone fragments that were already dust-shaped accompanied by elemental energy that floated in the air and a dense charred scent.

This way of dying, would never have been thought of by a normal human without the experience of killing his entire life.

Gu Yuena had long wanted to try this way. How to remove its victims from the earth without leaving a trace, as if they never existed.

It took out a deep purple-colored elemental energy that floated in the air, then stored it in a token. The tokens are already full, it's time to return to the academy.

Just when Gu Yuena was about to return and bring Xiao Hei who had fainted, she felt her body ache all the way to a crisp. He knelt on the ground while supporting his body so as not to fall down.

This battle had already exceeded the limit that his body could withstand. He was too tired ....

Gu Yuena was leaning on the branch of the tree beside Xiao Hei. He looked at his blood-soaked clothes, then his injured hand. It felt so painful when the battle was over. He clearly didn't feel anything.

"I have to take a shower." Gu Yuena forced herself to stand up. Although he was initially shrewd, he managed to bring Xiao Hei into the spiritual room and left with limping feet.

His entire strength is exhausted.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The dormitory is getting very quiet tonight. Inside the dark room of one of the dorm rooms, a male figure sat on the bed in a predicament that was hard to predict. One thing we can know, it's not okay.

A black fog surrounded him, as if it was tormenting him all night under the full moonlight that slipped in from the window. His consciousness was completely dark. He felt he was in the shackles of a large chain and torn apart by something invisible.

All the time he endured all the pain. His body that was flooded with cold sweat trembled violently. Her appearance was so chaotic with black hair that was unraveling.

As one would say, feelings that make dying are better than life. He had to feel the same way for years without getting used to it.

This is the payment for the power possessed. The greater the power, the more suffering it goes through these unpredictable times in solitude.

It was Luo Youzhe. His face looks pale. His dark blue irises opened once the suffering was over for a while. He suppressed his strength to a certain extent, only then did all the pain end completely after a long period of suffering.

"Young Master, is it going to be okay?" His subordinate who was standing guard in front of the door looked worried. Although things like this have often happened, but things like this can also kill their master at any time. Moreover, the enemy is lurking, will be dangerous if you get the opportunity.

"I'm used to it." She lies. The pain was indeed familiar as if forging it in such a way, but he still did not feel fine. For two days he felt the pain.

"Typically the reaction occurs for more than three days. This was the second day, it seemed like the reaction had changed as time went on."

That Luo Youzhe just stayed in place, seeming to think of something. It is impossible for the reaction to change. Even if it changed, it should have been longer after he controlled all the power in his body. There must be a cause.

The man's blue iris directed towards the door like it had found something. He looked at his subordinates, then said, "Go."

His subordinate understood immediately. He immediately bowed. "Okay, Young Master."

His figure disappeared in the mist in a matter of seconds just as the door opened. It appeared that the girl in male clothes entered the room in a lethargic state. He was covered in blood, his legs were limping and badly injured, even his eyes were already very slender.

Luo Youzhe immediately moved to look. Inside the darkness of the room that was only illuminated by the moonlight, he saw Gu Yuena's chaotic appearance that was covered in wounds.

It seems like there is a big battle in the forest.
