Chapter 25

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: I made a small correction in chapter 16, I changed Shura God's name to Asura God.)

In one of the stands of Nuoding Academy's small arena, Yu Xiaogang and his disciple Tang San were sitting in a corner away from the other students and teachers who were watching the other fights that were taking place.

"Little San, you need to be very careful when facing Gu Yuena. Her martial spirit Elementalist is a very rare martial spirit that was rarely mentioned in the books I studied..." Yu Xiaogang spoke with a serious and arrogant expression as he mention the knowledge he knows.

Tang San is paying close attention to Yu Xiaogang's words.

"What I know about this martial spirit is that this martial spirit is able to control the seven elements and that because of said this martial spirit would not be inferior to people with twin spirits. When you hear about this you might even think that it is a incredible martial spirit and that he is invincible but there is actually a weakness." Yu Xiaogang spoke up.

"Is this true teacher?" Tang San asked with surprise and anticipation after all he will face Gu Yuena, that girl has never shown mercy to her opponents.

"Although I have said that there is a weakness in the Elementalist martial spirit, it is actually more accurate to say that this martial spirit has a limitation." Yu Xiaogang spoke while looking at his disciple, he could see that Tang San was paying close attention to his explanations and was taking it very seriously. Yu Xiaogang felt very satisfied with the treatment he was receiving from his disciple.

"The limitation of this martial spirit is that spirit rings cannot be attached to the elements, the only thing gained by attaching spirit rings to this martial spirit is increased control of the elements." Yu Xiaogang spoke up.

"But teacher, how is that considered a limitation?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

"Little San, if Gu Yuena manages to reach the level of Titled Douluo in the future then she would have extraordinary control over her elements making her unparalleled among her peers. But now she is only at the level of a Spiritual Grand Master, no only your control over the elements isn't too high but also your spiritual energy reserves shouldn't be too big." Yu Xiaogang spoke with a bit of envy when mentioning Gu Yuena's high-level martial spirit, this detail was not noticed by Tang San.

"As long as you don't get hit by her attacks and force her to expend a lot of spiritual energy then you should be able to turn the tables in your favor with your agility, Hidden Weapons and most importantly... the knowledge I taught you. " Yu Xiaogang spoke proudly.

"Teacher, thank you very much, thanks to your words I was able to clarify my doubts and now I am confident that I can beat Gu Yuena." Tang San said gratefully to Yu Xiaogang.

Now Tang San was confident that he could beat Gu Yuena. He just needed to rely on the Hidden Weapons and the techniques he learned (stolen) from the Tang Sect in his previous life.

"That's right, there's no reason for me to be insecure. If I can't beat a simple Gu Yuena then how can I establish the Tang Sect on this continent." Tang San thought seriously and calmly as he recalled his long-time goal.

"Little san, although I believe in your victory I still care about you, so... If you feel that you are in danger then give it up immediately, for me your safety is very important. You always say that a teacher for a day is a father for life, so I don't want you to get hurt unnecessarily." Yu Xiaogang spoke seriously to Tang San.

"I don't want you to get hurt. After all, if you get hurt how can I prove to everyone who made fun of me that my theories are correct." those were Yu Xiaogang's sincere thoughts.

"Professor don't worry, I'll back off if the situation gets too bad." Tang San spoke. He was very touched by the concern that his teacher showed for him.

Far away from the two, on the other side of the crowded bleachers, was Gu Yuena who had overheard the entire conversation. Gu Yuena is still a Divine Beast, listening to a conversation that is happening at a distance of 100m is child's play for her.

"Hehe... So the bug didn't cower? That's good news, after all I really need a punching bag to relieve my stress that is caused by this hypocritical rubbish." Gu Yuena thought as she raised both her arms to stretch.

In those four years that she has lived in human territory with Feng Lie, Yu Xiaogang is among the person she most wants to torture and kill. After all that garbage had the gall to arrogantly say that spiritual beasts are the cattle of spiritual masters.

"Because he said this in front of me, I who am the Silver Dragon King, he will certainly not be entitled to a quick and painless death, I will certainly make him die in a miserable way."

But unfortunately I can't do that right now because of the damn Spirit Hall. I'll have to wait a while for Feng Lie, but when everything is settled I'll incinerate that garbage myself."

Those were Gu Yuena's thoughts.

***************************************

After some struggles, the moment finally came for the fight between Gu Yuena and Tang San.

In the Academy's small arena, Gu Yuena and Tang San are at opposite ends of the arena, the two are facing each other.

Tang San was watching Gu Yuena carefully and seriously to find any gaps for the fight.

Gu Yuena was watching Tang San with amusement and mockery, she was thinking about how she should humiliate Tang San in front of everyone.

"Very well, are you two ready?" one of the Academy professors who is serving as a referee in this fight asked.

"Yea." Tang San replied without looking away from Gu Yuena.

"Yeah, can we hurry with this? I want to get this over with quickly so I can relax at home." Gu Yuena spoke with disinterest without paying attention to Tang San.

Although Tang San is an adult inside and much more mature than others his age, Gu Yuena's actions still irritated him a little.

"Very well then... Begin!" the teacher started the fight and moved out of the arena to make room for the fight.

Tang San wasted no time and immediately used his movement technique that he learned in the Tang Sect. He kept appearing and disappearing in every moment in the arena.

As for Gu Yuena, she didn't think much of it, for the audience watching the fight they can only see Tang San's afterimage caused by the speed, but for Gu Yuena Tang San is slow... Too slow.

Gu Yuena then began to walk slowly and nonchalantly towards the center of the arena.

This action surprised Tang San. Due to Gu Yuena being at the edge of the arena the angles for firing the Hidden Weapons were very limited, but now Gu Yuena is heading to the center of the arena leaving her completely exposed in all directions for the Hidden Weapons.

When Gu Yuena arrived at the center of the Tang San arena, he wasted no time and started shooting several needles (Hidden Weapons) at Gu Yuena.

13 needles were thrown towards Gu Yuena, the needles were thrown at behind Gu Yuena at various angles which are right, left, top, bottom.

At the same time the needles were released Tang San stopped in front of Gu Yuena.

"First Spirit Skill: Bind"

Tang San activated his martial spirit ability and soon two yellow spirit rings appeared from his feet. And several blue vines emerged from his right hand and went towards Gu Yuena.

Several needles launched behind Gu Yuena from several different directions and several vines that are trying to trap Gu Yuena from the front.

When the audience saw this they were shocked by Tang San's relentless mind. Those who have already suffered because of Tang San's Hidden Weapons felt horrified to see a situation like this where it is impossible to escape without suffering because of Hidden Weapons.

"Gu Yuena... you, Xiao Wu, Wang Qiu'er and Feng Lie have always made fun of my masters, so don't blame me for being ruthless against those who offend my family." those were Tang San's thoughts.

As for the person in question...

"*sigh* Are you done with these slow movements yet? So it's my turn..." Gu Yuena spoke with a bored sigh.

At this exact moment, the needles that were heading towards Gu Yuena completely stopped in midair as if they had been nailed to a wall. Gu Yuena used the space element to stop all the needles.

As for the vines ahead...

"Burn..." Gu Yuena spoke a single word and all the vines burned in an instant.

"But shit... I have to get out of here." Tang San thought as he saw that all his cards were rendered useless.

When Tang San tried to move his feet to move, he realized he couldn't move from where he was. When he looked down he saw that his feet were frozen to the ground.

"When did she do this?" Tang San thought as he turned his gaze to Gu Yuena.

"I surrender..." Tang San wasn't able to finish speaking because Gu Yuena punched him in the face and broke Tang San's nose.

Gu Yuena used the space element as a boost to jump towards Tang San and punch him.

But things didn't end with a single punch...

1 punch... 2 punches... 5 punches...

Gu Yuena continued punching Tang San for over a minute. The only thing Tang San could do was cover his face with his arms and hold on.

After a minute Gu Yuena stopped punching and undid the ice holding Tang San's feet and then she kicked him in the chin which ended up throwing Tang San ten meters up.

Gu Yuena jumped up and then spoke...

"Learn where you belong, you bug." Gu Yuena spoke nonchalantly as if she was talking to garbage.

Gu Yuena kicked Tang San out of the arena.

When Tang San fell to the ground outside the arena he ended up creating a crater and a small cloud of dust.

When the dust cloud cleared, everyone saw the pathetic state Tang San was in. He was lying on the floor all fucked up on the floor. (Image is here.)

"Hmph, does this insect really dare try to plagiarize God Yamcha's big moment?" Feng Lie asked surprised with his arms crossed.

"Feng Lie, who is this Yamcha God? Does he live in the Divine Realm that your majesty mentioned?" Xiao Wu asked with interest and curiosity.

Wang Qiu'er and Bi Ji had similar expressions, Zi Ji who was hiding was also paying attention.

Hmph, don't compare God Yamcha to an insignificant place like the God Realm. He lives on the planet Earth of universe 7, he's one of the most powerful humans there." Feng Lie spoke with a bit of nostalgia because he was talking about one of his favorite anime characters.

"Planet Earth... Universe 7..." Xiao Wu couldn't quite understand what Feng Lie was talking about.

"Wang Qiu'er, we have to go. Soon it will be our turn." Feng Lie spoke.

"Yea." Wang Qiu'er spoke with a calm expression.
