Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 152 — Main Round II
Yin Ruo's face grew even more anxious as Xiao Rou continued to shorten the distance between the two, she had already tried to maybe catch the girl but it was always her shadow alone that was caught.
When Xiao Rou's shadow shattered, the girl re-created the other shadow so that it was endless.
Xiao Rou then stomped one of his legs firmly onto the arena floor, a puddle of water emerging from the footing.
Xiao Rou swung his hand and controlled the water until it formed a dragon. The next hand swing of the water dragon opened its mouth before spitting out a sizable amount of water on Yin Ruo
Yin Ruo's expression became tangled, he released the scarf that was still on his body to protect the water spray.
Yin Ruo could use the shawl as a defense or as well as his attack. The spray of water did not manage to break through the girl's defenses.
Yin Ruo bit her lips, she then released even more scarves into the air, now the number of shawls she controlled became more.
Yin Ruo did not know which one of them was the real body of Xiao Rou, the girl chose to destroy all the shadows of Xiao Rou until there was nothing left.
When there was only one more left, Yin Ruo put on a bright face, he directed his shawl to wrap around Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou could not avoid that much shawl so as to get one of his legs caught, not waiting for a long time when the other shawl began to wrap around him.
"Your history is finished..." Yin Ruo smiled triumphantly after capturing Xiao Rou, the red-haired girl would not have come out if her shawl had been wrapped around her.
When Xiao Rou was almost wrapped up perfectly, suddenly the girl's body turned into smoke.
"What?! How can?!"
Yin Ruo's heart paused for a moment, he had already obliterated the 4 shadows of the girl then it should have been his fifth body was not an illusion.
Yin Ruo became alert and glanced at the semblance when a sword was already unsheathed behind his back.
Yin Ruo was startled then raised his hand before slowly turning around, it was seen that Xiao Rou was already behind him.
"You're hiding in my house?" Yin Ruo realized Xiao Rou's trick.
Xiao Rou smiled faintly and sheathed his sword back, raising Yin Rou's hand as a sign that the girl had already given up.
The spectators seemed speechless as they did not expect Xiao Rou to do the trick.
"Since when has Miss Xiao been in the shadow of her opponent?" Yifei asked towards Zhou Yuan, usually the man had an all-knowing look.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, "Since the burst of water Rou'er shot out was already in Yin Ruo's shadow. He purposely waited for the shawl that was in his opponent's body to all come loose only after that he appeared and gave an attack."
Yin Ruo had four scarves, the first two scarves the girl used to attack while the remaining two sheds she put on her body as defense.
When Yin Ruo was forced to use his four shawls to destroy his opponent's body then Yin Rou was already no longer a defense.
Zhou Yuan clucked in awe, he did not know when Xiao Rou learned an illusion technique of that level. Without a difficult effort, he could win the game easily.
Yin Ruo smiled bitterly, he actually had many plans to defeat Xiao Rou but did not expect the girl to have already docked him first.
The match of Xiao Rou and Yin Ruo was arguably very short, although not very amazing in its match but still quite impressive.
Xiong Bian coughed softly, he looked at the red-haired girl in confusion. In the Xiao Rou academy was indeed a famous disciple but he tended to be reclusive and loner so Xiong Bian did not know too well of his abilities.
Xiong Bian sighed, it was not the time he thought of this. The head of the Academy immediately announced the red-haired girl's victory and passed to the next round.

The next match Jiang Yifei's name was summoned to the top of the arena, against a young man who had expertise in throwing needles.
"Fei'er, do everything to the best of your ability..." Zhou Yuan cheered the girl.
Yifei nodded, he started to step up onto the arena, quickly the girl became the center of attention of many people.
"Ah, isn't this girl who possesses the blue fire element right?"
"Right, a special technique that came from the famous Jiang Imperial Family could burn anything to dust."
"Look, the girl is so pretty, she may be a teenager but when she grows up, she will be fought over by many."
All the spectators commented on Jiang Yifei making the participants who were his opponents put on a sullen face, Yifei's opponent was the participant who had the nickname as Hampa Needle. He was very famous but because his opponent was more famous than him made him so ignored and it irritated him.
Hampa's needle immediately raised the needles between his fingers before the whistle sounded while Yifei who was aware of his opponent's actions immediately enveloped his body with blue flames as a defense.
All the spectators were in unison amazed at Yifei could for being able to do so with his blue fire element.
As Xiong Bian blew his whistle, Hampa's Needle immediately released dozens of needles on the sidelines of his fingers towards Yifei.
Yifei did not try to avoid the needles, he let them touch his body.
The needle did not stick but rather melted instantly when it came into contact with Jiang Yifei's fire defense, the eyes of the Hampa Needle widened when it saw the event.
"It's a pity that Hampa's Needle had to meet Fei'er, his chances of winning the match were almost zero..." Zhou Yuan chuckled, he recalled that when the attack on the girl's palace could melt the poisonous needles of the Eternal Snow Organization.
Hampa's needle did not believe his needle attack was easily broken just like that, he continued to shoot the other needles but all that was in vain, he said, before touching Yifei's body the needle that was fired melted in the air and became lost.
"I give up, there's no hope I can win against him..." The Hampa needle raised its hand.
The audience laughed even Xiong Bian, the three emperors and Jiang Long also laughed along. You could say the match this time was quite a joke, Yifei without attacking was enough to make the opponent give up.
Yifei was soon announced to be a participant who could follow the next round.
The next matches were the other participants who competed, Zhou Yuan had actually been waiting for Liu Yuwen to go up to the arena because he was curious about the ability of the man.
Zhou Yuan looked at the extremely handsome man, according to another person's talk Liu Yuwen had amazing sword skills which could bring out the flames on his sword without using any inner strength.
As Zhou Yuan looked at Liu Yuwen, the match in the arena was over. Xiong Bian then called the next participant and this time the name Zhou Yuan was called.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly as the person he had to fight was Zuo Lang, the Explosive Bubble.
"It's good to be fighting you Brother Zuo..." Zhou Yuan gave his regards.
"I'm also happy to meet you in this tournament, I heard you were the one who defeated Wu Liang before. Strength must be high."
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, he could feel Zuo Lang's cynical tone towards him and it was invisible to others. Zhou Yuan only hoped that the match this time could cheer him up.
