Capítulo 35: Chapter 35
A/N: Tbh, wasn't going to update today since I wanted to study. However, the plot bunnies distracted me too much so I had to write it out. Please wish me luck for my exams.
In the chamber above the competition stage, Shen Yi was stunned into silence. An expression of shock marred her face as she watched the illusion of Huang Yu absolutely demolishing Ye Xinglan.
Even when Ye Xinglan was carried off the stage unconscious, did she not regain her senses. In the end, it took a nudge from Wu Zhangkong to finally wake her up.
"Wha…" she blinked hard a few times before looking at Wu Zhangkong. Stuttering, she asked, "How did you find a monster like him? With the skills he had shown, he should definitely be in Shrek as an inner member right now!"
Wu Zhangkong took her words in with a slightly smug look on his face. "It was just luck that I found him."
"You… forget it. You are definitely trying to groom him to join Shrek in the future right?"
At those words, Wu Zhangkong's expression fell but he didn't say anything.
Shen Yi sighed seeing this. "Don't do this Zhangkong. I know you're trying to groom a talent like him to join Shrek Academy in order to compensate for your sins but this isn't the right way to go about it."
"..."
"Both you and teacher are the same. You're both so stubborn. Do you think Long Bing would want to see you like this?"
A look of sorrow flashed on Wu Zhangkong's face before it quickly hardened. "Don't talk about that anymore. I'll be leaving now." he said before turning to leave.
Shen Yi shook her head seeing Wu Zhangkong's stubbornness. "Goodbye then. It's been nice seeing you again after so long."

A few days passed. Huang Yu stomped everyone that competed against him with minimal effort. Due to this, a nickname of Huang Yu began spreading around.
They called him the 'Crimson Calamity'.
Huang Yu didn't really know what to feel about that nickname when Guang Biao had all but squealed it to him. He found the nickname pretty cool, but at the same time, it sounded a bit too Chuuni.
In the end, he decided to stash that nickname in his back pocket. He wouldn't use it in normal scenarios since he found it kinda embarrassing, but he would definitely abuse that title when he went fucking around shamelessly.
Huang Yu was just weird like that sometimes.
Nox had spread pretty well in Skysea City. There was a bit of resistance from the higher ups in the beginning when they found out about it, but after Guang Biao paid them a visit with some gifts, they naturally saw it his way.
By this time, a pretty sizeable amount of the slums had already converted to become a member of Nox. It was really surprising to Huang Yu how easily it was to convince people of a new religion with just a few benefits.
With this speed of gathering members, he could start harvesting vital energy to evolve his spirit soul to the 10000+ year old level in around a year.
Currently, Huang Yu was following Wu Zhangkong along with the other members of class zero. They were going to the Skysea Tournament area.
Today, they were poised to fight a team that had been predicted to be the champions of this tournament.
When they arrived at the arena the Skysea Alliance Tournament was held at, Huang Yu went separate ways with the rest of his team.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Gu Yue were going to be fighting, with Xu Xiaoyan sitting on the sidelines.
As he made his way to the seats to watch the fight that was about to happen, the figure of a very familiar blonde appeared and stood in front of him.
Huang Yu, having his path blocked, raised an eyebrow. "Ye Xinglan?"
Ye Xinglan nodded her head as she faced him. The past few days, she had been quite troubled by the events that had happened during their fight. A lot of insecurities were brought up by Huang Yu's absolute suppression of her.
She tried to talk about it with her teacher, but for some reason, she just couldn't. Hence, she decided that it would be best to confr– no, meet with the person who had brought up these feelings in her to get rid of the demon in her heart. (A/N: If you didn't know, I had edited the part about wiping her memories clean. It's just that Webnovel doesn't want to update for some reason.)
Standing in front, she found herself slightly tongue-tied. She had come up with many things she had wanted to say in front of him, but the script she had prepared just disappeared from her head at this moment.
Huang Yu, realising what Ye Xinglan was doing, chose not to make it too difficult for her. Although her actions were a bit too outrageous, she was just a child and could change with proper teachings.
"Do you need anything?" he prompted her.
With a very flustered look on her face, she said, "I would like to apologise for my actions before. I've thought about the attitude that I treat people long and hard for a while after the fight and I realised that I act pretty rudely. I don't really expect your forgiveness but I just want to apologise to you for all I've done."
Hearing this, Huang Yu gave a gentle smile to her. "Don't worry. I've already forgotten about our grievances."
Ye Xinglan was stunned hearing that. She had half-expected that he would bombard her with insults for the way she treated him. She didn't expect him to push aside the whole thing so easily.
"But… the way I treated you…"
"It's fine now. I didn't keep the words in my heart. I'm not the type of person to stay angry at someone for long periods of time for something like a squabble."
Ye Xinglan didn't really know what to say anymore. Although she knew that she had been in the wrong, her impression of Huang Yu was still bad. However, the way he presented himself in front of her now changed her view of him quite a bit.
With a smile, Huang Yu patted her shoulder. "In the future, don't get so upset so easily. If you're going to try and get even for every little thing, you're going to hurt yourself someday. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind after all." After saying that, he left for his seat.
Ye Xinglan just stood there absentmindedly after hearing Huang Yu's words. She was really taking these words to heart.
If these words had been spoken by one of her elders, she would naturally have ignored it. However, the one who told her this was the person who had smashed her pride into pieces. His words had quite a bit of weight to her right now.
When she came to her senses, she turned to where Huang Yu had long gone before whispering softly.
"I'll take those words to heart. The next time we meet, maybe it could be as friends…"
