Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 110 — Jiang Yifei
'Mr Princess?!'
Zhou Yuan recalled that Jiang Qisha had said of his other grandson, who was often called the most genius swordsman in the younger generation of the era.
Zhou Yuan did not expect that his grandson was a girl in front of him, either, if his estimation was correct then the girl was the Big Brother of the little boy he had saved in Hana City before from the poison of the Eternal Snow organization.
The grandson of the Moon Emperor named Jiang Yifei, was almost the same age as Zhou Yuan with the girl being a few months younger with him.
Zhou Yuan had to admit that Jiang Yifei had a beauty that was difficult for women in general to find, if not for his already fifty years of mental age he might have already fallen for the girl at first sight.
Jiang Yifei was still staring at Zhou Yuan for a moment before the girl's gaze glanced at the sword the young man had brought. "Hey-y! You, come here and fight my mark?!"
Zhou Yuan coughed softly while the two eunuchs nearby were shocked, the three did not expect the girl to immediately say out loud to them in a slightly irritated tone.
One of the eunuchs near Zhou Yuan then approached Jiang Yifei and explained that Zhou Yuan was His Majesty's honored guest. It is not good to invite a guest to fight.
"I don't care, I won't hurt her anyway." Jiang Yifei folded his hands across his chest, snorting. He then turned to look at Zhou Yuan again. "Hey, do you want to practice a match with me?"
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly then walked up to the girl and saluted her, "Greetings to the Princess, introduce my name-..."
"No need to introduce your name, just get to the point. Do you want to fight with me or not?"
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, for a moment he understood the temprament emotions of the girl who tended to be fierce.
Zhou Yuan could have rejected it but the situation was not right let alone seeing the sharp gaze of the girl, in the end Zhou Yuan nodded in agreement.
The two eunuchs nearby gulped, they already knew the power of the Moon Emperor's Master Princess. If only 12 soldiers had lost let alone Zhou Yuan who in fact was still younger.
No one did not know Jiang Yifei's strength with his fire element, he was able to defeat up to 20 warriors if he wanted to and fight seriously.
In the Imperial palace only his Grandfather could serve the strength of the girl, the problem was that Jiang Qisha had his own busy life as Emperor, so when his Grandfather was busy Jiang Yifei always invited the palace soldiers to fight.
All the warriors in the palace almost certainly had faced off against the girl, the palace warriors could not resist much less Jiang Yifei would at least like his name of rejection.
Zhou Yuan and Jiang Yifei moved to a different field, both of them preparing the horses and ready to fight.
"Just calm down, I'll use 20% of my power. I hope you're giving it a little longer fight than they are." Jiang Yifei pointed out the soldiers who had been opponents before, they were still unconscious on the ground.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess." Zhou Yuan saluted him, smiling faintly.
The two eunuchs accompanying Zhou Yuan stood not far away in the field hoping that Zhou Yuan would not suffer any injuries or that their superiors would give calculations to the two for not being able to guard the guests.
Jiang Yifei became the first to attack Zhou Yuan, delivering punches as well as kicks that emitted blue flames.
Zhou Yuan dodged the attack easily, in his heart he clucked in awe witnessing the girl's ability.
'He can combine the bare-handed science with the type-change technique, I don't think His Majesty is overstating his grandson as the most genius of the younger generation?!' decak Zhou Yuan slowly.
Turning inner power into an energy and then making a change of type is not an easy thing for a swordsman.
Those who have studied it since childhood only take years to do so while mastering it takes dozens to decades.
Even so, this Jiang Yifei could use fire elements of this level at his young age.
As Zhou Yuan was thinking while dodging, Jiang Yifei was surprised to see Zhou Yuan's abilities were not as weak as he thought.
"Your strength is not bad, then I will raise my strength..." Jiang Yifei smiled sinisterly.
Jiang Yifei increased his attack power to 50%, each attack so it increased strongly but never did the girl guess Zhou Yuan was still able to dodge it so easily.
Jiang Yifei's eyebrows shot up, he rained down on Zhou Yuan more seriously, he directed 70% of his abilities.
The flames that released every punch or kick of Jiang Yifei became even bigger. One would find it hard to avoid the flames but not with Zhou Yuan.
"You, how can it be?!" Jiang Yifei was hard to contain his shock.
Zhou Yuan did not reply, he continued to dodge the girl's attacks until Jiang Yifei finally chose to separate the distance.
"You turned out to be more powerful than I expected, usually the soldiers have already lost after I have increased my strength to this level."
Jiang Yifei looked at Zhou Yuan meticulously, it had been a long time since he had found an opponent worthy of him much less that Zhou Yuan seemed as good as his age.
The two eunuchs who had been watching him since had become amazed, not expecting that Zhou Yuan was so good that he could keep up with Jiang Yifei when the girl was so feared in the palace.
"Thank you Princess, I only practice hard." Zhou Yuan smiled gently.
"Hmph! This time I'm going to attack you seriously, make sure you don't pass out like them..." Jiang Yifei exerted a deep energy on both of his palms which instantly blue flames appeared and enveloped him.
Jiang Yifei moved quickly and approached Zhou Yuan, the girl gave her tread attack but Zhou Yuan dodged it with such a close distance.
Jiang Yifei did not stop there but instead continued to attack Zhou Yuan with his science of fire. The fire attack was very strong only it remained useless if it did not hit his opponent.
After giving a dozen moves Yifei's expression changed, annoyance was engraved on his face as Zhou Yuan had continuously dodged.
"Did you underestimate me?" Jiang Yifei clucked in annoyance. "Use your abilities, don't keep dodging!"
"Daughter, I can't do it. You're gonna get hurt..." Zhou Yuan was still full of calculations, if the girl was injured then Jiang Qisha would make a calculation with her.
Yifei's expression grew increasingly irritated with angry feelings, Zhou Yuan's words showing that the young man was right to underestimate him let alone look at the sword sheathed on Zhou Yuan's waist, indicating that the man had not used all of his abilities.
"If you won't attack me, then I won't hesitate to hurt you!"
Jiang Yifei took some distance then drained his profound energy even more, this time he made four blue fireballs with both hands.
The blue fireball that Yifei formed then floated nearby, Jiang Yifei swung his hand as the four fireballs moved against Zhou Yuan.
This time Zhou Yuan had a little trouble dodging the girl's attack, his concentration had to be split by the four fireballs that moved controlled the girl.
"Do you still underestimate me, don't you want to pull out your sword?!" Jiang Yifei snorted in annoyance.
As time went on Zhou Yuan increasingly found it difficult to dodge Yifei's attacks, let alone his clothes burning slightly as a result of being scratched by one of those fireballs.
Zhou Yuan sighed then he suddenly appeared near the girl, Yifei was surprised to see Zhou Yuan's speed but before he reacted, Zhou Yuan gave a tread attack to him.
Zhou Yuan did not use any inner strength nor did he use all of his physical strength but even so the tread attack was enough to make the girl hit by several meters and the four fireballs he made instantly disappeared.
