Chapter 32 (1/2)

As classes ended for the day, Tang Wulin went up to Huang Yu. They had already returned to school for a week.

Everyone had become friends with Xu Xiaoyan rather easily, even Huang Yu. Although she feared him quite a bit in the beginning, she quickly found him to be a pretty nice person.

Her relationship with him wasn't as close as it was with the others, but she no longer felt fear the moment she saw him.

”Huang Yu, do you wanna spar against us tonight?”

With a raised eyebrow, he replied, ”I'm fine with it. I don't have anything to do tonight.”

While normally he would have rejected this, he saw a hint of competitiveness in Tang Wulin's eyes. It was a huge change from how Tang Wulin previously looked at thim.

It was rather clear that he got a powerup during the days of vacation. Huang Yu was curious to see how much Tang Wulin improved during this time for him to think that they even stood a chance against him.

Also, he wanted to test out the power of the spirit ring from Jorm, so their invitation was pretty convenient.

”Alright, then let's meet at the academy field around 8 o'clock ok?”

”Sure.”

That night, Huang Yu went to the designated spot that they would fight at. When he arrived, he found out that Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin and surprisingly Xu Xiaoyan had been waiting for him.

”Did I arrive late?” Huang Yu asked.

”No, it's just that we arrived early.”

Oh? In the past spars they never acted like this. They would try to delay the spars as much as possible. This was truly a great change in terms of confidence.

”Alright then. Before we begin, do you want me to use my martial spirit or not? I'm fine both ways.”

Tang Wulin looked at the others when he heard this. When he received a nod from all of them, he gave his reply. ”We want to fight you at full power.”

Huang Yu's eyes widened when he heard this. Full power? Wasn't this a blatant underestimation of him?

”Are you guys sure…” Huang Yu asked with a disbelieving tone.

”Yea. I know that we might not win, but don't underestimate us Huang Yu. I'm sure we'll surprise you.”

”Ok…” Huang Yu said before he turned his gaze to Gu Yue.

When Gu Yue saw the way Huang Yu looked at her, she understood the underlying question behind his stare.

'You didn't tell them?'

With a helpless smile, she shook her head.

At that, Huang Yu sighed. ”Ok then. Let's fight.”

”I thought you said that we stood a chance with Xu Xiaoyan's night ability…” Xie Xie said in a slightly blaming tone.

Hearing this, Tang Wulin let out a grimace before looking down. ”I didn't think that he would just start throwing out acid with a swing of his sword…”

The two of them had many cuts on their body. Not only that, they were large patches where skin seemed to be burnt off from their body.
