Chapter 254: The Frustration of Lu Yinghua
🕑 Added 2025-06-17 08:53:33 +0000 UTCIn the deep mountains of Mount Lu, in a place that seemed like a fairyland, a silver-haired handsome young man and a black-haired stunning beauty were locked in an intense battle.
Their movements were as swift as the wind, changing unpredictably, a seamless flow of power, blending softness and strength, containing the principles of yin and yang.
With a slight movement, they seemed to vanish in an instant, only to appear again mysteriously, as if by teleportation.
Meanwhile, not far from them, a black-haired young man was watching, his lips twitching.
This young man was Lu Yinghua, Luo Huo's chief disciple, who was watching the fierce battle.
“Such strength, and their talent is far superior to mine. After so many years, it feels like I've learned nothing...”
Watching the two fighters, Lu Yinghua muttered in frustration.
He had studied for ten years and still hadn’t fully mastered the Twelve Phoenix Palms. As for the "Earth-shrinking Divine Skill," the teleportation technique, he hadn't even gotten close.
Yet Blake, the seventh king, had only trained with his master for a month and already mastered it. Both had limited their powers to match his level, yet they had already exchanged hundreds of moves. How could Lu Yinghua not feel frustrated?
[Clap—]
At this moment, the battlefield changed once again. Both of their hands formed a brilliant energy resembling a phoenix, coiling around their hands. They collided fiercely, producing a sharp and loud crack. The surrounding flowers, grass, and leaves were pulled by the force, swirling through the air uncontrollably.
Both of them retreated several steps before they managed to steady themselves.
"You're actually able to use the Flying Phoenix Twelve Palms to this level, and you've mastered the Divine Foot Technique as well. Blake, you truly are a martial arts genius."
When the surrounding flowers and leaves returned to stillness, Luo Huo snapped out of her brief daze and complimented him with an unusual look in her eyes.
It had taken her many years to reach this level, yet Blake had only been training for a month and was already at this stage. The way they fought was lively and impressive, it was truly astonishing.
After spending a month together, Luo Huo had completely seen through Blake's character.
He was a monstrous talent, extremely diligent. Even after achieving great success, he didn't act arrogantly. He was also very attentive in daily life, which made her enjoy this month immensely, while also stirring up some unfamiliar emotions within her.
Although she didn't understand them, Luo Huo knew that this feeling was very nice. She really liked the way she felt when interacting with Blake.
"Real combat has more effect. Without your full guidance, I wouldn't have learned so quickly."
Hearing this, Blake's crystal-blue eyes flashed, and with a gentle voice, he casually returned the compliment.
To be honest, his talent was a bit stronger than ordinary people, but it definitely wasn't at such a heaven-defying level. However, after becoming a Campione, his swordsmanship improved rapidly. This was probably due to the Campione physique.
Additionally, after integrating the Divine Spark, it seemed to have altered his body, making everything, from thinking to learning, much faster than before. This was why he could master Luo Huo's two ultimate skills in just one month.
Of course, due to his limited control over his power, the first half of the month was an absolute disaster. He was basically being toyed with by Luo Huo. This made Blake more aware of his own shortcomings, and he worked even harder at martial arts.
He spent twenty hours a day training, which was incredibly intense. Thankfully, his physique was very tough, and he could go without sleep without any issue. If it were a normal person, they would have dropped dead by now.
"Eagle Transformation, do you have something to say here?"
While Blake was speaking, Luo Huo smiled and turned her sharp gaze to the side at the dejected Lu Yinghua.
"Uh..."
Seeing this, Lu Yinghua's mouth twitched. "Looks like you’ve forgotten about me now that you have a new favorite..."
However, when he thought about how Blake had prevented him from being beaten for the past month, his mood inexplicably improved.
"Actually, I came to report something to Blake."
After steadying himself, Lu Yinghua explained.
"Oh?"
"What is it?"
Hearing this, both Blake and Luo Huo exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.
"Master Blake, you once sought the whereabouts of Marquis Voban. According to the report from the Bronze Black Cross, Marquis Voban has been located. He is exploring some ruins in the Mediterranean, trying to summon a Heretic god and then kill it to obtain its authority."
The two God Slayers simultaneously looked at him, causing Lu Yinghua to feel immense pressure. He quickly blurted out the information he had received.
"Marquis Voban?"
Hearing this, Blake narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had given this order before. Furthermore, the system had a follow-up mission that said if he killed Voban within three months, he would gain one of Voban's powers. It seemed that about two months had passed since then.
"Blake, why are you looking for the whereabouts of that murderous wolf, Voban?"
Luo Huo blinked her autumn-like eyes and asked.
As for Voban, she wished she could kill him as soon as possible. But they had fought several times before with no results.
"I just want to resolve some old personal grievances. And I also heard he gods of this country."
Hearing this, Blake's eyes gleamed with a cold light, and without hesitation, he spoke. He wouldn't pass up this opportunity to improve their relationship.
"I see. In that case, go ahead. You're helping me, Luo Huo, a great deal. I truly don’t know how to repay you."
After hearing this, Luo Huo's exquisite face flushed slightly, and she happily spoke.
"Actually, there's another reason for killing Voban, and that is..."
Attracted by Luo Huo's rare charming expression, Blake was momentarily dazed. When he came back to his senses, his heart was pounding faster, and he hesitated to speak.
"Is there something else? Feel free to say it. As long as it’s something I can do, I, Luo Huo, will do my best to help you."
Luo Huo, seeing Blake's rare nervousness, thought that Blake might have something very important to say. Her face became serious as she solemnly swore.
"This matter, I’ll discuss it after I kill Marquis Voban. I’ll leave now, lest Voban escapes again."
Seeing Luo Huo suddenly become so serious and imposing, the atmosphere felt completely off. Blake, feeling a bit helpless, knew he couldn’t confess in such an atmosphere. So, he could only shake his head and change the subject, not speaking any further.
"Let’s go, Lu Yinghua."
Before Luo Huo could react, Blake pulled Lu Yinghua away from the scene.
"What is it?"
Seeing this, Luo Huo felt even more confused. She could only look at Blake's retreating figure with a puzzled expression. However, when Blake showed that look earlier, her heart inexplicably started beating faster. This was something that had never happened before...
