"But, sir clan leader..."Gu Yue Bo patted his shoulders, encouraging, "The shadow in your heart, others cannot dispel it for you. You can only rely on yourself. I await that day."
The morning before departure.
Uncle and aunt stood at the doorstep, "Fang Zheng, after the year end exam, you would be leaving the academy. Seeing your growth, we are very happy! Go, go and show everyone the strength of an A grade just listen to what your brother tells you to do okay!"
And...
Under the setting sun, in a dark corner, a female classmate cried profusely, "The allowance is only three primeval stones, but Fang Yuan snatched a piece away, leaving me with two. I am almost unable to feed my Moonlight Gu at this rate."
Fang Zheng's heart softened, "This is my primeval stone, I'll lend it to you."
The female classmate took the primeval stone, saying with tears, "Fang Zheng, you are too nice, please defeat your brother and end his tyranny in the academy!"
Fang Zheng was silent.
A bunch of classmates appeared in front of him."Fang Zheng, you are an A grade talent, you can do it so what if he is too, you are far more hardworking than him, you can do it."
"Fang Yuan is too much, constantly bullying us, you are our only hope."
"Fang Zheng, from today onwards, we're with you, we will always support you!"
"Everyone..." Fang Zheng observed the surroundings, seeing the concerned pairs of eyes, and felt extremely touched.
Everyone...Everyone has expectations of me.
My classmates and sir clan leader!
Everyone is waiting for me, looking at me, supporting me...
How can I lose? How can I fall here? How can I!
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
His heart pounded in his chest, and Fang Zheng's eyes shone with brilliance.
I cannot fall here!
I will dispel the shadow and stand up!!
Fang Zheng's fists were tightly clenched, no longer feeling any pain at this point. He felt a lion in his chest, awakening from its sleep and opening its huge mouth to roar!
Hot-blood boiled in his body.
Stand up, stand up!
Break the shadows, break the darkness!
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" Fang Zheng opened his mouth wide to shout, his body starting to emit a green jade light.
"What's that?" The crowd silenced.
"Jade Skin Gu!" Someone shouted.
Bam!
The students roared towards the heavens.
"Fang Zheng, you can do it!"
"Fang Zheng, we have your back!"
Finally only one last cheer remained "Stand up! Stand up!"
"Everyone….. I can hear your voices." Fang Zheng clenched his fist, his teeth almost crushed. Fang Yuan's pressure was no longer so imposing, he could finally get up, slowly and steadily.
The shouting intensified."He's burning with anger!!"
"He's going to do a comeback."Gu Masters hearing such cheers and excitement from the crowd were all starting to feel moved.
"That's right, Fang Zheng, that's right! Stand up, stand up, abandon the past, dispel the shadow and stand up, you will become a new person!" Clan leader's eyes shone with bright light as he cheered Fang Zheng on in his heart.
brother, I will defeat you!" Fang Zheng's eyes burned with determination, his entire body enveloped in bright green light like he was wearing a jade armor as he struggled to lift his body!
"Oh wow, this defense, even the moonblade can't pierce it. It seems Fang Zheng evenly matched with Fang Yuan now that they both have the same amount of defense." Yao Hong raised her brows, blowing a whistle.
"Indeed, even with the Moonlight Gu hitting on this barrier, it would only cause Fang Zheng's primeval essence to be consumed faster. But comparing primeval essence expenditure, Fang Zheng is no match for Fang Yuan now they are both on even playing field it looks like the match isn't over yet." Qing Shu said lightly.
"Little brother..." He looked at Fang Zheng peacefully, his lips curling into a smirk, "Thinking of defeating me, you're still far from it."
Time seemed to have paused.
Just as everyone one thought that Fang Zheng would stand once more, Fang Yuan fully used the strength of a boar stomping Fang Zheng sprawled on the ground once more silencing the crowd as the heavy thump sounded out before speaking "so what if you have gained more defense I'm not afraid to let you know but I have used a Black Boar Gu and have the strength of a Boar though you have some decent Gu, in the end, your body's that of a normal mortal how can you struggle against my strength, and don't think that your safe with your Jadeskin Gu I had planned to beat you senseless before allowing you to admit defeat after letting you see my Gu and skill, so you would see the difference between but I guess you were too stubborn and childish to do that, just from some cheers you thought you were some hero and tried to fight back, pathetic, then let me show you more"
With that, he raised his hand again to summon that blue glow that had crushed his confidence, it was sparkling and translucent, bent like a crescent, resembling a piece of water blue crystal. In a nutshell, it was like the Moonlight Gu that was enlarged in size by twofold.
"This the Moonglow Gu the rank 2 version of the Moonlight Gu it's power is three times that of its rank 1 self" with that he fired a moonblade at Fang Zheng's chest causing a massive impact towards Fang Zheng's green light.
Another
Another
And another
After multiple shots at the same spot, had caused the initially shiny green light to get dimmer and dimmer along with Fang Zheng's fighting spirit and eventually the light started to crack as well.
With one last shot
Bam!!!
