Chapter 19 Battle of Souls (Part 3)
Wuyou admired Phoenix. She did not have a bad temper as Xiao Nai said. Phoenix smiled sweetly.
Xiao Linggong and Shen Chuya stared at the soul battle arena. They were very happy about Phoenix’s victory in the first match. The competition continued.
The competitions that followed made Wuyou very excited. It was Xiaoling Palace against the eagle tribe. Shen Chuya patted his brother’s shoulders. Xiao Nai wanted to hug Xiao Linggong, but Xiao Linggong avoided him. Xiao Nai felt down. Phoenix laughed. The atmosphere in the arena was electrifying as waves of passion grew.
Xiao Linggong slowly walked towards the soul battle arena. Wuyou only saw his back. The prince of the eagle tribe stood on the high arena, looking at Xiao Linggong who was approaching him. The two looked at each other coldly.
The judge blew his whistle and the two disappeared in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the judge’s Spiritual Power was stronger. He ran after them toward the snow plain. Wuyou had not thought that the two would leave the arena like that. She glanced at the illusion mirror on the arena. It was empty. The Fairy King closed his eyes and rested. Xiao Yan looked comfortable, not caring much about his son’s competition. But Wuyou knew that it was because he was confident in his son and it was recognition of his son’s strength.
Wuyou followed the judge and flew toward the snow plain. At the far away silver spiritual barrier, Leng Mohan exuded his Spirit Power as he fought with Xiao Linggong. Xiao Linggong gathered his Spiritual Power in the spiritual barrier, and immediately, layers of Spiritual Power spread out in all directions. Leng Mohan took out the Heaven and Earth pouch. It opened indefinitely and the Spiritual Power flowed into the pouch-like water in a stream.
Xiao Linggong did not have the protection of the spiritual barrier. He jumped up onto the cliff, but Leng Mohan followed closely. Wuyou followed closely behind, wanting to see where Xiao Linggong was leading Leng Mohan to. Xiao Linggong led Leng Mohan into a snow cave. Wuyou’s soul entered the cave as well. When Wuyou entered, Xiao Linggong had already turned into a white tiger.
It was a large ancient pit and from afar, it was just a black dot. In the dark pit, Leng Mohan showed his true self. His body was covered in grey feathers. He stared at Xiao Linggong with cold eyes that were filled with confidence. This made Xiao Linggong even warier. Wuyou hid on the walls while the chief judge hid far away, afraid that the two would accidentally hurt the innocent.
The white tiger kept hitting the surface of the ground causing the sand and mud to spray up into the air like a cortex. Wuyou felt the cliff walls shaking. Then, a large rock was pulled up into the air. Wuyou and the rock were sucked into the vortex. Fortunately, Wuyou was already prepared. Leng Mohan looked at the large stone covering the sky, but it was too late by the time he tried to hide. His wings could not extend in the tiny pit.
The white tiger jumped up, wanting to catch hold of Leng Mohan. However, the pit suddenly collapsed inward. Wuyou rushed up into the sky while the chief judge conjured a rope that caught the two and flew out of the pit.
Xiao Linggong breathed heavily. Leng Mohan rolled for several feet. The chief judge sat on the cliff and looked at the two. It seemed like that match today was going to end in a tie.
The chief judge leaped off the rock and was about to return to the arena. Leng Mohan secretly gathered his Spiritual Power and pushed it at Xiao Linggong. The chief judge avoided it while Xiao Linggong was tossed back harshly.
Leng Mohan extended his wings, his steel-like claws and his sharp teeth attacked Xiao Linggong’s eyes. Wuyou knew that Leng Mohan wanted to kill Xiao Linggong with a single strike. The chief judge tried to stop him with his Spiritual Power, but was too late. Several wounds appeared on Xiao Linggong’s face. Leng Mohan attacked once more, even stronger, forcing Xiao Linggong back. Wuyou was also surprised by Leng Mohan’s Spiritual Power. It seemed that the contestants of this competition were all strong. They were all strong performers in their tribes. Phoenix was one, and so was Leng Mohan and Xiao Linggong. She wondered how Shen Chuya would fare.
The roars of the tiger and the cries of the eagle echoed throughout the snow plain. Wuyou floated in mid-air, thinking about Leng Mohan’s move. Every time he used his Spiritual Power, the veins under his wings would bulge. It looked like that was his weak spot. She wondered if Xiao Linggong had discovered it.
The chief judge had split up the two somewhat impatiently. It was getting late.
Xiao Linggong and Leng Mohan did not seem to notice it. They continued to use their Spiritual Power. Xiao Linggong stopped. And when he chased after Leng Mohan, Wuyou saw the armor on the white tiger. Its poisonous spikes were sharp and cold. Leng Mohan flapped his grey wings, looking for the white tiger’s weak spot. Its powerful body spun in the air. The white tiger jumped up and leaped at Leng Mohan’s abdomen. Leng Mohan found an opportunity to use its sharp claws against Xiao Linggong. The chief judge groaned in secret. Spiritual Power spread in all directions. Wuyou watched as Xiao Linggong was thrown into the air. Leng Mohan heaved a secret sigh of relief.
Two people were fallen on the snowy ground. There was a hint of hatred in their cold eyes. It seemed that the two were evenly matched. Power was terrible, for it made two people who should get along well become enemies.
Just as the atmosphere in the soul battle arena was getting electrifying, Xiao Nai felt dissatisfied at the conclusion. He did not understand how his God could end up in a tie with Leng Mohan of the eagle tribe. Only Wuyou knew that if not for the chief judge’s timely interference, Xiao Nai would not be able to accept the ending. Fortunately, they were both not hurt badly and the match ended up in a tie. The crowd slowly dispersed.
Wuyou lay on the bed quietly. Phoenix must have been tired, for he fell asleep early. Shen Chuya leaned against the bed board and chatted with Xiao Linggong. Wuyou drifted off to sleep as she listened to them.
Wuyou was startled awake by her dream in the middle of the night. Ever since the ancient spirit went into her soul, Wuyou’s senses grew extraordinarily sharp. There was a dark figure that ran past the window that was lit up by the light reflected off the snow.
Wuyou turned and got up, searching for the dark figure in the courtyard. Xiao Linggong saw Wuyou leaving and followed her.
The dark figure was on the roof across in the distance. Wuyou flew up onto the roof. Xiao Qi was dressed in a cotton shirt. Xiao Linggong did not know Xiao Qi and wanted to get closer to find out more. But he was afraid that the person on the roof would discover him. Xiao Linggong watched the two from a corner. It seemed that the man was here especially to find the girl. It was another person trying to find favor with his father. He had to be more careful of certain people in the future.
“Xiao Qi, what is it?”
Wuyou did not like it that Xiao Qi appeared in the middle of the light. Xiao Qi knew that the little demon was unhappy and was a fox spirit that can be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. As such, he could only go with what she liked. His goal was the military talisman, and everything else could wait until he planned for the long term.
“Fox spirit, you’ll go against Su Chenyang tomorrow.”
“And who is Su Chenyang?”
“You cannot underestimate him. The young Su Chenyang is already an upcoming talent in the Fairy Kingdom. His father is Su Gong, and he possesses the military talisman.”
“Could it be that the Su family still wishes to take control of the military talisman?”
“Little demon, you have not spent much time in this world. How would you know the seductive powers of power? The people of this world say that power is dirty and make people lose themselves. But the people at the top enjoy this and will not feel tired. A person like Su Gong is one everyone would try to please. Even Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan have to give in to him.”
“Then he is the most powerful fairy?”
Wuyou thought about Xiao Yan, whom Li Fu mentioned.
“That’s not true. Su Gong only allowed Su Chenyang to attend the Soul Battle Meet in order to protect himself. It is to show those interested that the Su family is still capable of getting the military talisman.”
“Su Chenyang is skilled in water sorcery. You have to be careful. Be aware of his waist tomorrow, for that is his weak spot. You cannot stay here for long.”
Wuyou wanted to know more about Su Chenyang. Xiao Linggong looked at Xiao Qi from the distance. He had to quickly get his father to investigate this person.
