Chapter 83 - First Match

That night, Huang Yu and Gu Yue chose to merely cuddle and talk to each other on the bed. A myriad of emotions filled their hearts as they decided not to indulge in pŀėȧsurės of the flesh, rather, strengthen the relationship between the two of them instead.

Huang Yu didn't mind. Although the two of them did it often, Huang Yu wasn't a maniac about that type of stuff. To be really honest, there were some nights where he preferred to just relax with Gu Yue in his arms.

"Huang Yu, will you be competing in the tournament?" Gu Yue whispered softly.

"Probably," he admitted. He knew that Gu Yue wasn't particularly happy about the fact that a spirit bone would be the prize of the tournament but it was better to be truthful anyways.

"Is it for the spirit bone?"

"No. I'm not particularly interested in that."

Gu Yue nodded her head in understanding. She absolutely believed Huang Yu's words. After all, if you can't trust your loved one, who else can you trust?

With the knowledge she had as well, she knew that the spirit bone probably wouldn't be able to do anything for Huang Yu. His body was extremely special, but it also made him a very big target towards all spirit beasts.

In fact, from all of Huang Yu's dragon riding sessions, the injuries she had sustained in the past were slowly healing and her strength was rising very quickly.

Wu Zhangkong, even with his battle armour probably wasn't even her opponent anymore at this time.

"Then why are you joining? I don't think anyone there can match you."

Huang Yu smiled. "I just wanna go have some fun. What's the point of living if you don't find time to enjoy yourself?"

Hearing Huang Yu's words, Gu Yue pondered upon it for a few moments before she nodded once again.

"I don't think I want to join the tournament though." Gu Yue said.

"Is it because of the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Yeah. It's impossible for me to become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters because of my connection with them and I don't want the spirit bone so it's a waste of time for me to join."

Huang Yu stroked her hair at this time, causing Gu Yue to mewl. "Just do whatever you want to do Gu Yue. I'll support whatever you choose to do."

Gu Yue's eyes turned misty as she looked up at the gentle smile on Huang Yu's face. Just staring at him made all her worries fade away.

"Thank you."

A laugh came from Huang Yu's lips. "There's no need to thank me. You're the one I love and this is my responsibility as your future husband." Huang Yu said. "In this life, the only person I'll ever truly love is you."

Gu Yue blushed as she placed her head on his ċhėst bashfully. "Mm."

Despite her lacklustre response, words truly couldn't describe just how happy Gu Yue was at this moment.

The streets surrounding a large stadium were packed with people, with many streets sealed off due to necessity. The reason for this was simple.

Today was the beginning of the Continental Young Elites Tournament.

Yea… Huang Yu wasn't going to entertain any of that. King's Wisdom presses the mute buŧŧon.

Instantly, Huang Yu felt a lot more comfortable, not needing to torture his ears with all the screaming around him.

He had only stopped the sound of the cheers from reaching him of course. Muting everyone in the stadium would be too much.

They were just excited about the competition. He wasn't going to spoil the whole thing for them.

This tournament required one to sign a death waiver in order to compete. Although fatalities were rare, it was impossible to be a hundred percent safe since it was still a no holds barred fight.

"What's the number on your badge?" Gu Yue asked.

Huang Yu took out his electronic badge from his spatial ring and looked up his own information.

"I'm participant number 69." said Huang Yu with humour clear in his eyes. "Just according to plan."

Gu Yue paused briefly before she laughed whilst she shook her head. "Ha, I didn't actually think that you'd get it. Luck seems to be on your side."

"It was not luck, but skill." came a sagely voice from Huang Yu's lips

"No, I'm pretty sure it's luck here."

"..."

At this moment, Huang Yu's electronic badge started beeping. Looking at it, Huang Yu found out that his opponent was 96.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Huang Yu went over to Gu Yue and pecked her on the lips. "My match is coming up. I gotta go now."

"Mm."

— �� —

Walking onto the competition stage, Huang Yu was met with an incredibly enchanting girl with an amazing figure as his opponent.

Each one of the girl's movements exuded a powerful charm, capable of attracting almost any warm-blooded male.

Putting her finger on her lips seductively, she called out to Huang Yu as she revealed a bit more cleavage. "Big brother, can you please go easy on me? I'm not really that good of a fighter."

Seeing this, Huang Yu felt a shiver down his spine. He took many glances around the competition stage, searching for a certain someone.

When he found her in a viewing platform, he froze. He could see that Gu Yue had become very, very unhappy towards the tho—girl in front of him.

Huang Yu stiffly turned back to look at the girl in front of him as he instantly knew what to do to her at this moment.

Sorry, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

"First round of the elimination matches: Competitor 69 versus competitor 96. Prepare yourselves. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Begin!"

The girl suddenly found a fist smashed into her face as she was sent crashing several metres away. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, she looked up with her bruised face in shock at Huang Yu, realising that this person wasn't the type to show mercy to girls at all.

Before she had any more time to think, she suddenly found herself flung into the air. Tens of blows baragged her body as she felt several of her bones break.

The blow that marked the end of the battle was an axe kick that struck her back, sending her crashing into the ground.

Landing next to the girl, Huang Yu let out a breath of relief when he saw that Gu Yue had a very satisfied expression on her face at this time.

"Y, you…"

Hearing the soft yet broken voice of the girl he sent slamming into the ground, he shifted his gaze to her, surprise clear on his face that she was still awake.

"H,h how could y, you beat,t up a girl so much w,without any feelings?"

A sagely look appeared on Huang Yu's face. "Our Sea God Pavillion Master taught that we should all exemplify the values of gender equality into our daily lives. As a very diligent pupil of the prestigious Shrek Academy, of course I have to implement the worldly words of our Sea God Pavillion Master."

"Hmph, you're probably just gay."

Well, that was rude. However, Huang Yu, being the mȧturė person he was, wouldn't sink to—

"Bitch, I'm straighter than the pole your mom dances on."

"..."

"Ok, to be honest, my girlfriend's watching over there, and she's not particularly happy about how you acted just now. What I'm just did is to save both of our skins." Huang Yu said without a hint of shame.

The girl scoffed. "You're so fuċkɨnġ whipped."

"But that's what I do to her…"

"????"

— — — —

As Huang Yu walked to the competitor's area, he suddenly found Gu Yue slamming into him with a big hug.

"Very good. I approve." Gu Yue said with satisfaction clear in her voice. Huang Yu couldn't help but sweatdrop as he heard this.

"I think I'll reward you tonight…" Gu Yue continued in a sultry whisper.

And now, Huang Yu had to hide the pillar that was rising towards the heavens now. Just great. Nonetheless, he wouldn't complain. Gu Yue was a complete monster in bed, befitting of her status as a dragon.

Walking off with Gu Yue's body wrapped around his arms, Huang Yu couldn't think about another dragon he had interacted with recently.

'I wonder how Di Tian's holding up against Jorm."

— — — —

"FAAAAKKKKK!!! GO AWAY!!!!"

Those were the unfortunate screams of a certain black dragon, with several holes perforating his limbs whilst he flew at light speeds in the sky, trying to escape the horrendously huge and long snake that was charging after him.

In one of his claws was a dark purple blade. However, this same blade had many chips on it and seemed as if it would break at any time.

'Come back! You taste delicious!" shouted Jorm. It had already awakened its spiritual wisdom a while ago when it underwent the heavenly tribulations and was now capable of proper speech.

"Dragon King's Claw!"

A claw carrying the immense powers of heaven and earth were sent flying towards Jorm. Space was destroyed around it as it charged towards Jorm, intending on completely annihilating it.

One should know that Di Tian's Dragon King's Claw was a technique taught by the Dragon God and contained a part of his powers. As long as one didn't have the powers of a God, they would be bound to perish!

Unfortunately, if only it was that easy for Di Tian to beat Jorm.

Jorm opened its mouth in jow as it swallowed all the energy within the Dragon King's Claw.

"Delicious! Please sir! I want some more!!!"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?!? HOW DO YOU JUST EAT THOSE CLAWS!" Di Tian had no more tears to cry at this moment as Jorm was slowly catching up.

Jorm laughed merrily before his eyes turned red. "Greed: Dragon King's Claw."

A similar claw to the one Di Tian shot out was sent flying towards him.

"STAHP! I'M SORRY!"

And that was a part of the unfortunate tale of the Beast God being chased by the World Eater for three days and three nights.
