Zhi Ruo eyed the bloody mess Alberu has made for himself, in judgement and scrutiny. Like she was saying 'oh, do they not really see that act that they call as a mess right there?' However, since everyone said their opinions, Zhi Ruo wasn't the kind of person to go and ruin it for them.So the girl stayed silent and kept to herself. But when Alberu took a punch through this gut, because he dodged it from his face, it made her crack a small smug smile. Though the snort that came from her lips accidentally got out, did, earn her a glance from both of her senior brothers."I know you just laughed," Huo Feng told Zhi Ruo who was snickering to herself. "Why even bother hiding it when you are basically wheezing everytime the guy receives a punch." From the corner of Zhi Ruo's eyes, she could see Han Wanran sighing and sagging on his seat in vague amusement."Whatcha even going to do about it, you twat." The girl muttered under her breath, which was not heard by any other ears but hers alone

"Stop." The practitioner'a voice echoed as he went into between Huang Yanyuan and Alberu. His hand was outstretched, clasping Alberu's hand that was holding a ball. Much like the one that he used beforehand, the one where it would explode and turn into a smoke screen. And his other hand was holding Huang Yanyuan securely.Huang Yanyuan was convulsing under the practioner's hand, his body was aching. But his gaze was set upon Alberu, it seemed like he did not even notice the practitioner holding him. It wasn't until he felt the pain on his arm did he finally notice. His eyes snapped towards the practioner, as Alberu snatched his injured hand that the practioner was holding with a sharp hiss under his breath. "What?" Huang Yanyuan managed to croak out, his eyes watched as the practioner put his hand down gently. Huang Yanyuan dropped his hand weakly after being released.The practitioner glanced at Huang Yanyuan with pity crossing his eyes. And Huang Yanyuan could clearly see the emoti

"May the best one win." Yu Zhúlín stood up, he stretched his limbs and motioned for Huo Feng to do the same. The other man stood up with a small smile on his face, seeing that Yu Zhúlín was waiting for him. Yu Zhúlín's response was a nod from Huo Feng. That was as far as Huo Feng's recognition could go."Same here." Huo Feng replied as he went pass Yu Zhúlín and went down the stairs first. Yu Zhúlín blinked from behind Huo Feng, before he too, shrugged and went down the stairs with a serious look on his face.As the two men went off and walked towards the arena. Alberu occupied the seat beside Zhi Ruo, he leaned into the girl's personal space like he wasn't caught bullshiting with her. The girl could already feel the smile that was creeping on Alberu's face as he leaned on."Who do you think would win?" Alberu poked Zhi Ruo's side, he murmured like he was sharing a confidential information. Zhi Ruo resisted the urge to sigh aloud. Her eavesdropping was cutted off because of Alberu's p

The crackling of the winds did nothing to ease the relentless pursuit Huo Feng was doing on Yu Zhúlín. Significant injuries already appeared on both of the two fighting contestants bodies but neither seemed to have noticed, nor wanted to stop. Their glowing eyes clashed almost eeriely against eachother.And only those with keen senses were the only ones that could see their glowing eyes. Zhi Ruo in particular, felt odd watching the two fighting. Especially both of her senior brother's eyes, she felt that it was familiar of some type of way. But she could not out point why it was familiar.Why would a pair of eyes, much less glowing ones at that, be familiar of some sort? Sadly enough, their wasn't a single Ye clan member around Zhi Ruo now, to teach her the significance of such keen observation. However, even though Zhi Ruo could not ask anybody now. It doesn't mean that she cannot ask later.The girl stood up, and searched for Ravel amongst the crowd, her body was seen peeking out of

The winner of the latest battle towards his seat with a harrumph. Clearly intended so that Zhi Ruo could hear him. But the girl merely rolled her eyes at him, and although Yu Zhúlín could not see Zhi Ruo's expression. His face morphed when he thought that Zhi Ruo might have rolled her eyes at him.His thoughts were proven correct, but he had no way of knowing about it. He just felt like Zhi Ruo would be the type of person to roll their eyes at situations like this. Han Wanran poked Zhi Ruo at her sides, but the girl dodged by moving a little. "You just hurt his feelings." Han Wanran pipped from the sidelines. His face revealed a hint of teasing smile. But Zhi Ruo didn't have any outward reaction to this."Did I now?" Zhi Ruo's reply was a question, but the way she phrased it was bent unto more of a statement than a question. From the corners, Yu Zhúlín's face morphed into a grimace hearing Zhi Ruo. The remaining contestants on the podium exploded into chatter, no one brought up the
