The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 33 - The Nest of Geniuses
That night the situation in the palace was still crowded, dozens of disciples wearing matching blue robes had just come in groups. But one among the sixteen young men had a special attraction that made people unintentionally continue to see him.
Xue Zhan pulled the rope from the rectangular box that was linked on his shoulder. The box contained Emperor Li's sword. But for a moment he stopped walking, staring at a disciple who was facing Emperor Li who had just arrived at the throne. Those golden-like yellow eyes darted towards him. Then the girl with a two-headed sneaker cheered while waving towards Xue Zhan.
Xue Zhan was stunned. He looked back but there was no one around, he himself did not know who the girl was, where it might greet him as familiarly as that.
"Xue Zhan yaaa?!" A shrill voice like it was about to break apart the glass in the palace of the Feng Empire, it was seen that the Master of the disciples started to pat the eel. The hyperactive girl acted again and embarrassed her before the Emperor. They had a number of internal affairs with the Feng Empire and obtained a direct invitation from the Emperor to come there.
If it wasn't for that girl that Li Jia Xing wanted to come, the man wouldn't have taken her there. The Fussy, Noisy Girl whose voice was able to tear through five layers of the sky, Lun Ning.
"Eh?" Xue Zhan was even more confused when Lun Ning casually came to his place, he had just turned around from before Emperor Li. Making Xue Zhan anxious with that disrespectful attitude, let alone involve him.
"It's nice to meet you! You must know me, right? I'm your rival!"
Xue Zhan's gaze seemed to say, "Who are you?"
"God! My fragrant name should have been smelled as far away as your Empire. My name is Lun Ning from Guang Empire. I heard you have demonic powers and inherited demon blood that is actually extinct. Of course you must be strong and I already consider you my rival!"
Calling his identity as a demon in a public place without guilt, Xue Zhan began to catch that indeed Lun Ning was a person who was flippant.
Lun Ning shook her hand with an ambitious face. "How are you interested in being my rival?"
Xue Zhan grimaced. It was unexpected that the girl's hand was too tight to grip until she began to feel her finger bone move and would crumble. He has a monster-like energy.
Xue Zhan wanted to run away but no one was willing to save her from the girl, Lun Ning was even able to trace her waist and rub her nose full of pride.
Xue Zhan looked at the Teacher from the girl's college and he threw his face away.
While holding back laughter.
Emperor Li and the disciples of the entourage had walked elsewhere. Lun Ning had been reminded by her teacher to follow soon, the girl assented and still continued to target her soft prey.
Lucky that second Xue Zhan saw Jiazhen Yan from a distance, as if he was cursing at once asking for help, Xue Zhan glared at him and spoke silently.
'Help me!'
The young man laughed at him from afar, as if he already knew what had happened to Xue Zhan. But in the end he helped.
"Miss Lun, this friend of mine has a contagious disease on her hands. Be careful shaking hands with him. Your face will age quickly."
However, the unconscious Lun Ning still clasped Xue Zhan's hand until it crumbled.
"really? What does infectious disease have to do with aging?" He examined Xue Zhan's hand with a flick without letting go. In that instant the bones on his shoulder also shifted. Jiazhen Yan looked away while laughing stifledly.
"No-nona ... I-"Xue Zhan wanted to protest.
"You accepted it? Want to be my rival?!"
"Thi-"
"Of course you want to!" cut Lun Ning fast, Xue Zhan resigned. But his hand remained undone instead being pulled around by Lun Ning who was still telling him about herself and her place of origin.
Jiazhen Yan still continued to laugh. It was sad to see that his friend had been grimacing in pain from earlier. Fortunately, he was a friend and could help. Help laugh.
"Be careful of his bones at the sound" said Jiazhen Yan, though he laughed.
"Bone? Whose bones?"
"Haha ... The body of the wind lives the same bone as this shifted a little directly fall out, what a pity my friend Xue Zhan this."
Xue Zhan did not accept it precisely his own friend ridiculed him.
"Let the body stay a piece of gini I can still hit your fucking mouth. Help no, laugh yes."
Lun Ning only realized she was still clasping Xue Zhan's hand, slightly misbehaving while laughing awkwardly. He let go in a hurry. Jiazhen Yan's voice again.
"Be careful to remove it, the skin will come again."
And he knew Xue Zhan that second was glaring at him.
Lun Ning explained.
"I was too excited to forget, hahaha. A coincidence to meet you. Ah, I know you too. Jiazhen Yan the Pure Fire Controller, right? You know, my friends know a lot about you two."
Xue Zhan and Jiazhen Yan stared at each other.
The Guang Empire was famous for its many spies as well as assassins. Inevitably they had a myriad of extremely clever geniuses. In fighting, gathering information and even making war strategies. In the past where war was raging the Guang Empire was one of the most formidable among the other Empires.
That's why the Guang Empire is called the Nest of Geniuses.
Knowing Lun Ning already knew about their true selves, the two of them should not take it lightly anymore. The eyes full of ambition belonging to Lun Ning also confirmed. He seriously considered both as opponents.
"In the next few years the Intermediate Swordsman Test will be carried out. I hope we can meet in the arena and fight. Until that time ... Make sure you're willing to surpass me." The remark was aimed specifically at Xue Zhan who was starting to feel challenged.
Lun Ning waved her hand as she walked away from the two of them. Xue Zhan and Jiazhen Yan stared at each other.
"Who is he? Very confident, but it was true, the strength in his body was very unique. I rarely feel such strength."
"Sand Dust Elements. It was a fairly complex type of power and was passed down from his great-grandmother. From just soil elements to Sand Dust elements. That power can be deadly. The person we just met was the best graduate of the Beginner Swordsman Exam in Guang Empire with near perfect grades."
Xue Zhan nodded. "It turns out your shallow brain is strong enough to also remember information about these people."
"Say one more time?!"
"Shallow brain, like a duck pool."
"Fucking squid!!" jiazhen Yan shouted after her.
"Lariii there's a dagger!"
Xue Zhan and Jiazhen Yan accidentally bumped into Kang Jian who was suddenly in front of them and instantly fouled the two.
"It's sleep time! I told you not to be ashamed of your weird habits. Aish, it's so hard to take care of these two wayward boys."
"The teacher is here?" Xue Zhan was surprised.
Kang Jian smiled until both of his eyes were closed.
"Why is he here? Wasn't she still in the room?!" Jiazhen Yan was also shocked.
"Because ..." Kang Jian brought his face closer while saying horror. "The rules are so. Salted squid and eel must sleep fast so that tomorrow you can be thrown into the sea and eaten by sharks."
"Puni us ...!"
