Chapter 482 - Wrath (1/2)

While Xie Xie was home during break, he found that his cultivation speed had slowed. This made him want to work harder, to improve his cultivation. The thought of Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui, both of whom had stayed behind on campus, motivated him. He decided to return early to cultivate with the two, and thought it would be fun to keep it a surprise. He never expected his work ethic to serve trouble to him on a platter!

Blood trickled from Xie Xie's nose as he fled. He wiped it away, struggling to process what just happened.

He had walked in on Yuanen Yehui in the nude! Although he had only stayed for a fraction of a second, barely long enough to catch the smallest glimpse of her, his own body had betrayed him. Blood had rushed to his head, leaked from his nose, and ruined any chance of a stealthy retreat.

Xie Xie could complain as much as he wanted, could shout his grievances deep inside his heart, but he understood what sort of character Yuanen Yehui was. It had taken so much pain and effort just to build and maintain a normal relations.h.i.+p with her, but now he had accidently peeped on her again!

This time, however, Xie Xie refused to take the blame! She had been was.h.i.+ng herself in public! Since she didn't go back to her room to wash up, he could only a.s.sume she did so on purpose. He wondered whether talking could settle things peacefully, but that line of thought was quickly derailed by a blast of air that rushed past his head, narrowly missing him. The blast of air exploded a short distance from Xie Xie, unleas.h.i.+ng a mighty gust of force, the full brunt of which he only managed to avoid by using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step. Having used the secret art so much this past semester, he had grown exceptionally skilled in executing it. His footwork resembled the ethereal movements of a wraith. Yuanen Yehui couldn't hope to catch him.

“Stop and pay for your crimes!” the girl snarled.

“I refuse!” Xie Xie shrieked as he moved even faster. I'm too young to die!”

In truth, Xie Xie could just flee the working students dormitory grounds right now and call for help. Any teacher still on campus, but that would bring disciplinary action upon both of them, Xie Xie for peeping and Yuanen Yehui for a.s.sault. Furthermore, news of her being seen naked would spread and bring shame to her. He refrained from making the easy choice, not for his sake but hers! This meant that all he could do was try his best to evade her attacks while staying within the ground of the working student dormitory. So he gritted his teeth and pushed onward.

“You think you can run?” Yuanen Yehui hissed. She drummed her chest with both arms, her fourth soul ring lighting up as she activated Devil t.i.tan!

Yuanen Yehui punched out with both her fists, shooting two blasts of air at Xie Xie. The air streaked toward Xie Xie, swift as lightning, and collided with each other a few meters away from him. They erupted in an explosive tempest, throwing Xie Xie off his feet and into the air.

She's so strong! Xie Xie's eyes went wide as he struggled to stabilize himself in the air. It had been quite a few days since he last sparred with her, but she had already grown so much!

Yuanen Yehui crouched to the ground, then leaped into the air, hurtling toward Xie Xie like a cannonball. She was upon him in a flash, bearing down upon him. Xie Xie was just an ant before her tyrannical might.

However, Xie Xie's heart had calmed down during the chase. Outcla.s.sed as he was, he still managed to react to the sudden attack. His third soul ring lit up and he summoned a Light Dragon Clone. In a s.h.i.+mmer of light, Xie Xie split into two to create two identical Xie Xies. The two pushed off against each other, narrowly avoiding Yuanen Yehui's attack.

“Huh?” Yuanen Yehui thought her attack was going to hit, but Xie Xie had managed to dodge it. Ignoring the hiccup in her attack plan, she threw a fist out at each of the Xie Xies. Booms rang out, and two blasts of air were immediately chasing after the clones.

The two clones landed on the roof of the nearby dormitory, then raced away with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step and descended back to ground level.

Xie Xie had spent countless hours practicing his control over his clones, and now his efforts were bearing fruit.

Although Yuanen Yehui's Air Cannon attacks were powerful, they didn't have a large area of effect, and she couldn't go on a rampage while on the grounds of the working students dormitory either. Minutes pa.s.sed, and she still couldn't catch either of the Xie Xies.

“Stop and fight me if you have the b.a.l.l.s!” she shouted.
