Chapter 55 - I Believe I can Fly (1/2)

Tang Wulin was puzzled.

Actually no, scratch that. He was completely bewildered.

There were two reasons for this. One of them was the fact that Huang Yu just copied his technique and used it even better than he did.

How did Huang Yu even use it though. That technique required one to train in reversing their blood essence in order to use it. It wasn't something that talent could do. You really needed time to master Shocks the Heavens.

When he brought this concern to his teacher, Zhuo Shi, who was technically also their grandmaster, he saw a strange expression appear on Zhuo Shi's face. Zhuo Shi quickly hid it though and just told Tang Wulin that it wasn't anything to worry about.

”I'll go meet him about it later.” were Zhuo Shi's words.

As for the other reason for his bewilderment, it was one that he was far more worried about than just Huang Yu copying his techniques.

It was about his relationship with Gu Yue.

'What happened?' Tang Wulin thought as he searched for Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan. 'Why did Gu Yue avoid me holding her hands?'

Back at Eastsea Academy, his relationship with her could be considered amazing. The two of them were together quite often and she would side with him for almost anything.

As a result of this, the two of them had been teased many times by Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan that they could be childhood sweethearts and grow up to become a power couple.

However, this started to change after returning from the Skysea Alliance Tournament.

Starting from that time, she began spending a lot more time with Huang Yu, someone who was considered sort of an outsider in their group. Huang Yu tended not to mix around with them, and he seemed to disappear every so often.

Back to about Gu Yue, she began spending less and less time with all of them, eventually reaching the point now where she didn't even bother meeting up with them anymore unless there was something going on that required them to work together, like for the creation of battle armour.

As all of these ran through his head, Tang Wulin couldn't help but wish that Gu Yue could just return to the old her. He missed her companionship.

Lost in thought, Tang Wulin didn't even realise when he had arrived at his dorm that he shared with Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan.

”So you're saying that you're the Scarlet Dragon Douluo Zhou Shi and that you're my grandmaster?”

”That's right.”

”Greetings to… grandmaster, I guess?” Huang Yu said.

Seeing this, Zhuo Shi raised an eyebrow. He had heard about this specific grand disciple of his from the others that Huang Yu wasn't really the type of person who shows respect to others. He didn't believe it at first, but seeing him like this now, he knew where the others were coming from.

This brat wasn't even pretending to be filial to his teachers. From Huang Yu's posture to his tone of voice when he greeted him, he could tell that Huang Yu didn't even care that the person standing in front of him was his grandmaster.

Zhuo Shi didn't particularly mind of course. With the strength and talent he had heard that Huang Yu had, he was allowed to be arrogant like this.

Huang Yu wasn't one to be late, so he was naturally in a hurry to get there now.

Snapped out of his thoughts by Huang Yu's words, Zhuo Shi spoke. ”Cancel it. It isn't that important. I want to see your Shocks the Heavens.”
