--- Chapter 38 --- ​​

"Who's next?" Chu Yunxi quietly said before moving her gaze at the remaining children, who looked at her with a widened eyes.

"She improved a lot." Bibi Dong praised with a smile while watching her disciple standing firmly on the ground as a winner.

"Well, you trained Xiaoyu very hard in this one week, and I can see her ability improved a lot because of it." Yunlong spontaneously commented, which made Bibi Dong lightly giggling for a bit.

"You are not wrong, but... Xiaoyu achieves this not only because of my training, but it's also because of her hard work and resolution." Bibi Dong responded while remembering just how stone-headed Xiaoyu was when she trained her.

Yunlong thought something for a moment before shaking his head and turned his gaze back at the arena.

Ci Xue was entering the arena and walked toward Chu Xiaoyu. He's staring at her for a few seconds before taking Ba Jai away.

'Just how did she get another disciple with full innate soul power.' Ci Xue thought while gritting his teeth and stare at his disciple, who only got minor internal injuries because of Xiaoyu's attacks.

'I need another plan,' He added in his heart while taking a peek of Bibi Dong.

As Ci Xue and his disciple walked away from the arena, Bibi Dong is calmly looking at them while considering something in her mind.

Huo Shun suddenly walked into the arena without saying anything. After he arrived in front of Xiaoyu, he then opened his mouth and politely said, "I will fight you, please advise."

"Okay." Chu Xiaoyu simply replied while raising her sword.

Huo Shun raised his hand before making a black quill with a gray feather appeared in his hand, and a yellow spirit ring floats from his feet.

Chu Xiaoyu dashed forward while unsheathing her sword. When she is about to slash her sword at Huo Shun, his calm voice entered her ears.

"Weakening." Huo Shun calmly stated while intently moving his black quill in the air, which seems to create a black-shaded light.

The black-shaded light turned into an arrow, which flying at a fast speed toward Chu Xiaoyu.

Chu Xiaoyu tried to defend herself with her sword, but to her surprise, the arrow was passing through her sword and entered her body.

She frowned when she noticed something unusual happens to her body.

"My body... It becomes weaker." Chu Xiaoyu whispered with a frown while staring at her hands, which is trembling a bit.

She's feeling something unusual happens to her body, which is starting to lose its strength little by little.

"My ability, It's incredible, right." Huo Shun's voice once again entered her ears, making Chu Xiaoyu shifting her gaze at him.

"Woah, don't stare at me like that. It's an unfair fight, to begin with, you know." Huo Shun said with a smile on his face before walking toward her.

"Hmm, do you think I'm like that idiot, who is straightly attacking you without any plan?" He added while caressing Xiaoyu's hair with his hand, which makes her remembering a few unpleasant things about her past.

"Do not touch me..." Chu Xiaoyu coldly said while a chilling aura comes out of her body.

"Hee... What happens if I want to keep touching you." Huo Shun replied while laughing.

"You going to make me regret it? Like that?" He added before feeling something touching his shoulder.

Yunlong suddenly appeared behind him with a smile on his face.

"Yep, you will regret it for laying your dirty hand on my maid," Yunlong said, which makes Huo Shun nodded his head.

"I see, she's your maid, young master-." Huo Shun calmly replied while turning his gaze at Yunlong.

But, before he could finish speaking, Yunlong already grabbed his neck and threw him away from Xiaoyu.

"Are you okay, Xiaoyu?" Yunlong asked while handing his hand to his maid, who is quietly staring at him.

"Thank you... I'm okay." Chu Xiaoyu replied while taking Yunlong's hand.

'Young master's hand is warm like my mother's.' She thought while feeling the weakness on her body disappeared.

"Mother already satisfied with your ability." Yunlong suddenly said with a smile on his face.

"Teacher." Chu Xiaoyu muttered while shifting her gaze at the particular seat, where she can see Bibi Dong smiling at her.

"Good Job, you can rest now." Bibi Dong said, to which Xiaoyu responded with a nod.

"Well, you hear her. You can rest now." Yunlong said while patting Xiaoyu's head.

"Mhm, I'll take a rest." Chu Xiaoyu responded before calmly walking out of the stage.

'What a girl.' Yunlong thought before turn around and stare at Huo Shun.

"Looks like she's giving up, huh." Huo Shun sadly said with a smile on his face, which makes Yunlong also chuckle.

"What a shame, I can't play with her any longer." He added while releasing a sigh.

"Is that so? I can play with you, you know." Yunlong responded while using his shadow flash steps and arrived in front of Huo Shun.

"We are going to have so much fun." He grinned before grabbing Huo Shun's head and slam his face to the white paved floor.

Bam!

"Uugh, my face." Huo Shun groaned while feeling his face being planted to the white paved floor.

He tried to lift his body, but he can't because Yunlong's strength is significantly greater than him.

"You didn't try to lift your head? Let me help you!" Yunlong asked while tilting his head and lifting Huo Shun's head.

"Young master, I give-," Huo Shun said but immediately got cut off by Yunlong because he slammed his face back to the ground.

Bam!

"What, I can't hear you. Can you repeat it?" Yunlong asked Huo Shun, making the audience around the arena glare at him.

"I give-,"

Bam!

"Again, I can't hear you."

"I give u-,"

Bam!

"Say it clearly!" Yunlong shouted while lifting Huo Shun's head, which is showing his bloody face.

"I GIVE U-!!" Huo Shun shouted in anger before getting slammed again by Yunlong.

BAM!

"Do not touch my maid again, okay," Yunlong whispered into Huo Shun's ears before releasing his head.

As Yunlong released Huo Shun's head, he then turned around and staring at the elders.

"He said he wanted to give up..." Yunlong innocently said, which makes the elder's mouth twitched.

Yunlong smiled, "What? Why are you guys staring at me like that? We only played for a bit, right?"
