Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 146 — Ability Liu Yuwen
The more Xie Jin was overwhelmed by Linxia's shadow, the more he destroyed the girl's shadow, the more Linxia's shadow appeared.
Xie Jin did not understand how the illusions Linxia made could work like that.
Now in front of Xie Jin, Linxia's body had broken into 20 people, Xie Jin who had been cornered and his body had some injuries finally chose to give up.
After Xie Jin said surrender, the illusion of Linxia began to disappear and left was the real body of Linxia.
"How, how did you do that?" Xie Jin said limply, he was curious the way Linxia made that indestructible shadow illusion.
"It's nothing more than an ordinary illusion that locks onto one's senses, when you hear the buzzing sound of our swords clashing just now, that's where you've been exposed to the illusion I've created." Linxia answered him while smiling faintly.
"Sound illusion..."
Xie Jin finally understood the girl's illusory way, he had heard that sound can also expose a person to illusions but Xie Jin did not suspect that his intermediary was when his second sword clashed.
Xie Jin had to admit that Linxia's sword technique was a sword technique he had just encountered in the martial world.
Xiong Bian announced Linxia's victory as well as calling the next participant who would be the girl's opponent.
Just like Zhou Yuan, Linxia had to fight all three of his opponents to qualify for the Main Round, most of the participants who fought the girl were all talented people like Xie Jin yet easily, he said, Linxia can defeat them.
"The next match, the participant named Liu Yuwen and the participant Gong Yun immediately went up to the arena..."
When Liu Yuwen's name was mentioned, the students of the academy especially the girls started to scream at the young man. The spectators instantly became boisterous as the coveted participants ended up competing as well.
Zhou Yuan frowned at the audience's reaction and glanced at the person named Liu Yuwen, smiling faintly as he learned the reason behind it.
Liu Yuwen was a young man in his 18s, he had a manly, calm, charismatic stature.
Of course, what makes women scream is not because of that cause but because of Liu Yuwen's very handsome face.
Liu Yuwen waved to her fans especially the girls, making them scream with excitement.
Zhou Yuan's gaze fell towards Yifei beside him, he wanted to see the girl's reaction. Not in accordance with Zhou Yuan Yifei's guess did not care much after seeing Yuwen's good looks.
"What's wrong?" Yifei raised one eyebrow as the gaze he and Zhou Yuan met.
"Ehem, no, I just don't think you're like them..." Zhou Yuan pointed towards the girls who were infatuated with Liu Yuwen.
"Hmph, I know he's handsome but he's not my type..." Yifei rolled his eyes lazily.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, scratching his head, choosing not to continue the conversation.
Liu Yuwen had entered the arena of the match and before long his opponent came, a participant with a machete as his main weapon.
Liu Yuwen himself was a swordsman, visible from his weapon that was grazed on his waist.
"It's an honor to fight you Brother Liu..." The player gave his respect.
Other than Liu Yuwen being a genius student in the academy, he also had a great background of being the son of the Sun Emperor.
"No need to hesitate, we are both participants so there is no need to be formal like that, let's just say we are in equal status..." Liu Yuwen saluted as well, smiling kindly.
The feeling of the participant was feeling good, he was actually a little hesitant because he had to fight someone who had a high background. Seeing his friendly smile, the machete participant would no longer hesitate to attack Liu Yuwen.
"Hm, that young man is friendly too..." Zhou Yuan stroked his chin, praising Yuwen's humble demeanor.
The whistle from Xiong Bian was then rung, the participant wearing the machete pulled out his weapon and started attacking Liu Yuwen.
Liu Yuwen looked calm while dodging the swing of his opponent's machete, when he had already dodged some attacks he finally started to counterattack with his bare-handed science.
Liu Yuwen's attacks were extremely powerful, his trained body making his punches and kicks extremely deadly. Within a few seconds, Yuwen's opponent began to be cornered.
Liu Yuwen twisted his body and kicked the machete held by the participant to make it slip into the air.
The participant raised his hand up and immediately gave up when his machete fell to the floor.
Liu Yuwen smiled and saluted the participant. "Thank you for giving up and letting me win."
The participant smiled bitterly, either to be happy or sad to see the humble Yuwen. Seen once one could clearly see that Liu Yuwen was indeed very strong.
Liu Yuwen instantly became the victor, all the spectators who were watching realized there was a difference in distance between Yuwen and his opponent even though the young man was currently not using all his full strength.
"I think your son will be the champion of this tournament, Brother Liu?" Guan Ning glanced at the Sun Emperor, Liu Zhangyang.
"I'm confident in my son's ability, win or not he's already talented." Liu Zhangyang did not respond any further while Guan Ning could only faintly smile in response.
The next match another participant came to fight Liu Yuwen, not much different from the first match, Yuwen could defeat his enemy easily as well as the third match.
Xiong Bian scratched his head, either because the opponent Yuwen faced was indeed easy to beat or because the young man was extremely talented, all of Yuwen's matches lasted only no less than two minutes.
Xiao Bian then declared Yuwen had escaped and could follow the next round.
"This Liu Yuwen is so talented, he doesn't even use his sword when fighting." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly then glanced at Yifei. "Fei'er, you must be careful against this young man..."
Yifei smiled faintly, in fact he was confident in his blue fire technique ability and was confident of defeating his opponent as long as in that next match he did not meet Zhou Yuan.
If he met the young man, he would most likely lose three times.
After Liu Yuwen's match was over, now the next match was filled by a red-haired girl, Xiao Rou.
If Yuwen was very famous among the girls in the academy as well as his many fans then Xiao Rou was the opposite of him.
Many of the male disciples were immediately excited after Xiao Rou in the arena, the girl who had always been flat-spoken just turned her head towards Zhou Yuan before smiling.
"Hey, did you see earlier, Miss Xiao could smile and her smile was directed at me!?"
"Are you crazy, he just turned to me instead of you, of course he smiled at me!"
"You're myopic, aren't you? Obviously he's looking at me, I'm more handsome than you."
Zhou Yuan almost patted the eel looking at the behavior of the male student in front of him who was fighting over something stupid while Yifei was powerless to laugh. The two of them now realized the popularity of Xiao Rou in this academy.
Xiao Rou's opponent was a man of Ling Yan, Zhou Yuan heard that this Ling Yan was a swordsman who focused on changing the type of water.
Without waiting for long after the whistle sounded, Ling Yan swung his hand as water droplets began to be created in the empty air before turning into a snake.
Not just one made, Ling Yan created four snakes with his water element at once.
Xiao Rou looked calm looking at the snake made of water, the girl whipped out the sword and prepared to face her opponent.
When Ling Yan swung his hand once more, the four snakes immediately moved and attacked Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou did not stay still and started avoiding the water snakes while occasionally giving slashes to the snakes which made them split in two.
