Dance Of The Phoenix
45. Acts Unknowingly Shame

"Let's fight fair. Finish everything as soon as possible." Lin Susu challenged with a cold tone. He was tired of all the pretense.

Gu Yuena tilted her head, with a smile that was still as usual. "I will serve."

Lin Susu stepped her feet slowly, turning her head towards the flying monster that set foot on the arena gallantly. It was like hinting at something that no one understood. The next moment, something unexpected happened.

The whirlwind rolled in the arena and gushed fiercely around Lin Susu. The monster turned its form into a powder of wind that blew, slowly directed at Lin Susu and absorbed it.

It's like a raga union.

It reminded Gu Yuena of Su Churan who was often a horde of blood butterflies.

Everyone saw him stupefied. When the flying monster was absorbed into Lin Susu's body in a huge whirlwind, a pair of silver wings appeared on her back, flapping in the air and exerting a fierce pressure.

The two slices of Lin Milk turned gray once it opened its eyes. He looked at Gu Yuena with a sneer.

"You're going to lose" he murmured.

While Gu Yuena started to get serious. He no longer folded his hands in front of his chest, and began to pull his flying sword into the air.

Lin Susu flapped her wings, sliding rapidly to perform directly. While the flying sword began to split into pieces, and darted down on Lin Susu to dispel his gaze.

Those swords were successfully avoided with Lin Susu's quick movements. The flying monster he possessed possessed possessed incredible speed, so that when it absorbed its power, it could possess and control that speed to dodge and launch attacks with ease.

Gu Yuena jumped to a corner when Lin Susu almost grabbed her body with those pointy wings. But Lin Susu's attack did not stop there. He brutally struck Gu Yuena below with a silver sword in his hand.

The clash of swords rang out loud will be Gu Yuena who resisted Lin Susu's attack with her sword. He took another position, then jumped up to perform long-range magic while Lin Susu chased after.

A fierce battle that was not just silent in one place managed to make the audience gaped. Even Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin were speechless.

In the outer courtyard, this was the first time that such a frenzied battle had occurred regardless of how the three people had joined forces to defeat a disciple.

The fiery tendrils crept on various sides, wrapped around Lin Susu's hands and feet tightly as well as her hot temperature which caused Lin Susu to scream in pain. That shout made everyone shiver for a moment.

But those fire tendrils couldn't last long. The aura of a level 6 monster managed to break it, while Lin Susu's wings were tossed as high as possible to get away from the approaching tendrils.

Gu Yuena tried to outwit the opponent, but Lin Susu was much faster until she could wave Gu Yuena's steps!

When their gazes met, Lin Susu swung her sword, giving a lightning slash mixed with gusts of wind to repel the opponent.

Gu Yuena created a protective layer all over her body while being swept away by the wind and crossed her hands in front of her chest to defend. Unfortunately, the lightning of the sword slash touched one of his arms until it created a deep enough scratch.

"G ...." Gu Yuena whimpered in pain. He saw his own injured hand. The wound seemed to be ripe with blood rushing through his clothes.

Sucks.

Gu Yuena glanced at Lin Milk silently. His fingers moved smoothly until it was not realized that some pieces of qi floated above and scattered right above Lin Susu.

Lin Susu was late realizing. When he turned his head up, fragments of qi had rained down on him to block all the arenas of avoidance, forcing Lin Susu to use her wings for cover.

The pounding of the qi shrapnel was like a thousand bullets shooting. Lin Susu's wings were broken when the qi flakes hit her weakest part, causing Lin Susu to bounce off right then and there.

Apparently it was a trap.

"Damn!" Lin Susu hit the arena floor while trying to get up. His wings were damaged, so he would have trouble carrying out an air strike.

Lin Milk attacked again. He learned that Gu Yue's weakness was in a melee attack so he darted closer to Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena leaped away, but the attacks of the sharp feathers from Lin Susu's wings blocked her. The huge feathers stuck right behind him until it almost pierced through Gu Yuena's body.

Lin Susu's determination was huge, plus the dusty emotions made her strength even greater. He controlled the pointy feathers to ambush Gu Yuena from several directions, while he attacked from close range.

When the feathers shot out right towards Gu Yuena, a burst of flames crushed him into ashes. Gu Yuena pitched her hand that let out a flash of fire that was so intense, then directed at Lin Susu.

He manipulated the qi, making Lin Susu's speed slow down with streams of flames dancing in the air and slipping into the sidelines of the arena floor.

The speed of Lin Milk was completely reduced. He felt it clearly, starting to panic. With a chaotic thought, he leaped towards Gu Yuena rashly and pointed his pointy wings at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena jumped backwards, fending off Lin Susu's sword and kicking her wings until the girl drooped. But Lin Susu did not give up or completely fell, she again attacked Gu Yuena with her bare hands.

Really desperate.

Lin Susu recalled something when she jumped towards Gu Yuena. Having no weapons, he could only rely on the strength of his hand to take Gu Yuena down quickly. Before that, he had to do something.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, then opened the lid. When he got in front of Gu Yuena, before Gu Yuena was quick in action, he sprinkled the contents of the porcelain bottle using his wind power until it blew towards Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena was surprised, not expecting Lin Susu to take that cunning way to defeat her. As the contents of the porcelain bottle had already entered his eyes, Gu Yuena spontaneously closed her eyes and took a few steps back.

Damn, what is Lin Milk sowing?

Gu Yuena tried to open her eyes, but her gaze was too blurry and it was difficult to see Lin Susu's movements.

In addition, Lin Susu was clearly very pleased. He took his sword back and grabbed Gu Yuena with lightning speed. Gu Yuena could still dodge his attack even with her eyes closed, though not as effective as before.

Lin Susu showed a smile during her consecutive attacks. He was happy to see Gu Yue being overwhelmed without being able to see, only being able to guess where the next attack was and ending up being scratched.

Feels better than ever.

"I told you, I won't lose." Lin Susu released her sword quickly and gave a punch on Gu Yuena's chest abruptly.

But when his hand gave a tread to Gu Yuena's chest, his countenance changed when he realized something.

He accidentally ... found something surprising that he never thought.

"Gu Yue, you ...."

Lin Susu's surprised gaze made everyone curious. In the next instant, the girl looked extremely angry and went back to picking up her sword.

He finished it off quickly when Gu Yuena was taking a position after being hit hard enough. The first strike, Gu Yuena repelled it precisely making Lin Susu miss and take wide strides to switch positions.

"Death!"

Lin Susu slashed her sword right at Gu Yuena's back. His sword crept upwards and severed Gu Yuena's hair-strap so that her long hair drooped downwards. While the blood began to flow, wetting the back and the clothes covered by the long hair.

A cloth fell from Gu Yuena's body. The white cloth with bloodstains wrapped around his body during his disguise as a man, fell just like that as it was split by the incision of the sword.

Everyone is surprised.

Not knowing who won and lost, they had seen the unexpected shock.

What the hell just happened?

How could Gu Yue who was a man, now have a body like a woman?

Gu Yuena could finally open her eyes after the flames within her body removed the strange powder. His red iris saw some injuries on his body, unraveling hair, and pain in his back.

He chuckled, "It's been caught apparently."

He did not look panicked or anything like that, instead straightening his back and looking at Lin Susu who was silent a few meters behind him.

Ignoring all the pain, he faced Lin Susu calmly. "This is the first time someone's hurt me in a long time."

"I take that as a compliment." Lin Susu replied in a cold tone. He lifted his head haughtily. "Where is Gu Yue?"

"I'm Gu Yue."

"You're not Gu Yue."

"I doubt you really recognize the real figure of Gu Yue. Do I need to introduce myself again?"

Lin Milk gritted his teeth. "You fooled everyone."

"A fraudster doesn't deserve to be in Yuansu Academy. Today, I will represent the dean to punish you!" Lin Susu felt disappointed and betrayed. He did not expect, Gu Yue who he had been chasing after all this time turned out to be a woman!

The guy says he likes men.

Lin Susu looked at the podium, looking at the bewildered spectators from earlier. He said in a high tone.

"You guys see? How can a woman disguise herself as a man in the academy? It seems like he underestimated Yuansu Academy and was intent on playing us all around. I don't know what he did in the men's dormitory undercover."

Lin Susu's words made all of them very surprised, and looked at Gu Yuena in disbelief.

Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin were similarly shocked. They remembered Gu Yuena had once told them something, regarding a secret that could not be said. But they would not have expected, the secret was Gu Yuena's own identity.

"I don't think your name is Gu Yue either, do I? You fooled everyone with your slave identity." Lin Susu snorted, continuing to corner Gu Yuena in front of everyone.

"Sorry, but my marg is 'Gu', and my middle name character is 'Yue'. If you want to accuse, shouldn't you have a good reason?"

"But you fooled everyone with your identity. Well, you're not lying about your name, but you're lying about your own gender."

"Even the Academy doesn't matter if I cover my identity, in the end they will know and close their eyes. Why are you being so complicated?" Gu Yuena remained calm at a time like this. It made Lin Susu even more furious and was eager to kill her.

"It does not rule out the possibility that a j*lang like you would be in a group of men. I wonder what your relationship is with your best friend."

In the stands there, Xi Cheng was unable to dwell. He was a dormitory friend of Gu Yue, but was completely unaware of the fact that Gu Yue was a woman. He was pensive from the beginning, thinking about his day always being in the same room and sleeping in the same room with women.

Coupled with Lin Susu's words, he remembered the letter.

Did the previous dormitory disciple know Gu Yue's identity?

"Are you not ashamed to say it as a fellow woman? Where is your image as the 'Jovial Goddess Lin'?" Gu Yuena looked at him with a sliver.

Lin Susu fell silent. Oh no, he's a deliverance!

He grew even more furious at the reply Gu Yuena gave him until his grip on the sword tightened and trembled.

"Gu Yue, I will avenge your deception of everyone!"

Lin Susu flapped her wings which were starting to recover and unsheathed her sword. But an unexpected thing happened.

Gu Yuena's body was filled with a dense fire aura. His red iris looked sharp, staring straight at the attacking Lin Susu.

As soon as Lin Susu's sword was about to touch her chest, the sword came to a halt under the pressure that made Lin Susu's body tremble.

Lin Susu's gray iris was stuck between those blood red irises. He suddenly felt fear, like seeing a monster that would devour him with fire into a pool of blood right then and there.

It was like seeing a phoenix spitting fire, making his body suddenly goosebumps and slamming backwards.

The concentrated aura that was pressing down on him managed to pierce through the body, causing Lin Susu's entire strength to disappear. The protective qi in his body shattered, that strange aura penetrating into the body, making his mouth spit out a mouthful of blood right then and there.

Lin Susu did not have any serious external injuries, but her internal injuries were so serious that her chest felt like it had been pierced by thousands of needles.

"Suppose you're lucky." Gu Yuena slightly pulled one corner of her lips. His gaze towards Lin Susu was like a monster looking at its victim.

Lin Susu was frightened to the point of not being able to say anything.

While in the stands, Xi Cheng came to a realization of what had happened and raised his buttocks, standing in panic after seeing Lin Susu who was severely injured.

"Gu Yue, you're outrageous! He wants to commit murder!"

Everyone immediately came to their senses and supported Xi Cheng's argument. Gu Yuena's gaze was directed at Xi Cheng with a sharp look. It gave Xi Cheng goosebumps, but pretended to be brave.

Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin stood facing Xi Cheng.

"This is a match, what right do you have to interfere? If Xiao Yue wanted to kill, she had already killed that j*lang from the start!" Shen Jialin defended Gu Yuena furiously. He saw Xi Cheng full of anger for daring to charge the crowd to suppress Gu Yuena.

"Xi Cheng, you're a nobody, it's better not to interfere!" Mu Xinhuan. This Xi Cheng could only condense people.

Xi Cheng snorted. "You guys are the conspirators, right? Who knows, it turns out you guys worked together to take over the outer pages and put pressure on all of us. You think, with this can match us from the big family?"

"You ...." Shen Jialin was so upset that she wanted to go berserk!

"Gu Yue, you offended Lin Susu and some of the big families here. You won't be able to escape their grasp!" Xi Cheng pointed at Gu Yuena directly with great emphasis.

The disciples on the podium supported Xi Cheng's argument and suppressed Gu Yuena who was considered arbitrary to everyone. They came from large families and renowned clans among the six palaces, their pride was extremely high.

Women who had come out of nowhere could not match them!

Gu Yuena tilted her head. "What do you really want?"

Xi Cheng grieved. "What do I want? Gu Yue, you should be able to think clearly. You have injured Goddess Lin so badly. It was better to give up on this match and apologize to Goddess Lin!" He remained silent for a while, seemingly remembering something. "Ah, don't forget the punishment for you breaking the boundary between a man and a woman by disguising yourself as a man. It hurts a man's self-esteem! As punishment, you must do everything I said before after taking off your clothes!"

Some of them were very surprised, but many of the men were laughing out loud at Xi Cheng's outrageous remarks. Although there were many women who were annoyed, but they did not show it, instead supporting to humiliate Gu Yuena.

"You ...." Mu Xinhuan who was previously very patient, had now become extremely furious.

"Excession! How can you treat a woman like that!" Shen Jialin was furious.

Where's the academy officer? Where are the Dean and the instructor? Why didn't they help the cornered Gu Yue!

They are really out of patience. But just about to unsheathe the weapons towards Xi Cheng and the people who were laughing, Gu Yuena's gaze stopped their actions.

What is the girl planning?

"Just take your clothes off, right?" Gu Yuena seemed to have no objections. He looked at Lin Susu mysteriously. "Is this your wish?"

Lin Susu only looked at Gu Yuena with a flash of hatred, but did not say anything.

"Good." Gu Yuena shook her shoulders indifferently.

Lin Susu was precisely suspicious, what the person was planning. Based on his temperament, it would not be that easy to obey someone's words.

Everyone cheered, telling Gu Yuena to take off her clothes. Cheers as if looking at an amazing and passionate show. Most of them are warm-blooded men.

If you can see beautiful scenery that is rarely seen, of course they will be very excited.

Especially if you can get it, considering Gu Yuena is no less beautiful than Lin Susu.

While Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin were already so agitated that they closed both their eyes and ears. Inwardly, they prayed their best for Gu Yue to take the right plan.

In the arena, Gu Yuena lightly pulled the robe on her clothes, making everyone even more insane. Gu Yuena only looked at them lazily before ignoring him.

However, it was sudden that the aura of the arena became icy cold.

It was as if the seasons were changing rapidly, and the powerful killing aura accompanying everyone made the entire stands speechless. Some who were still screaming also fell silent when their necks felt suffocated by something invisible.

What the hell's going on?

Even Mu Xinhuan and Shen Jialin had to open their eyes and ears. They instantly goosebumps feeling an extremely powerful aura as if it would remove their heads right then and there.

Only Gu Yuena did not feel that cold aura.

He did not feel the stifling cold aura, but instead got a burly hand holding both of his arms used to pull the clothes rope.

Gu Yuena remained silent for a while, then looked up to see the owner of the hand. His eyes were round for a moment.

"Luo Youzhe?"
