บท 102: Chapter 102. Evolved Elemental coat appears, [Thunder Light Armor]!

Tatyana chuckled. "However, don't put yourself down too much. You fought extremely smartly and made hard and precise decisions correctly throughout most of the fight. Little treasure, that was a very well-fought battle."

Yasenia smiled widely, and her tail wagged at high speed. For Yasenia, receiving recognition from her mother was even better than any treasure out there! The others chuckled, seeing her cute reaction.

The battles continued. Yasenia fought against another half-step and having seen the previous match; the other side didn't choose deathmatch. Yasenia fought defensively this time and managed to deplete his energy 10 minutes later, attaining victory.

The battles passed, and Yasenia managed to get 30 points at the end of the day, something only 169 of the 20 000 people managed to do. The points needed to pass were 17. They all managed to get there except Evelyn, who was now at 15 points and had only one match left.

Evelyn's jade trembled, and all of them looked at it. "Arena 1, Suichiro Sonata."

They looked towards the arena and saw a man with a longsword walking towards it. Yasenia bit her lips, worried for her dear, "Eighth level…."

Evelyn looked at Yasenia's concerned face and smiled. She tiptoed and pulled Yasenia down to kiss her lips. "Don't worry, Yasenia, I will win, and I won't disappoint you."

Yasenia hugged her and said, "You won't disappoint me no matter what, dear. I see the efforts you put into cultivation."

Yasenia looked directly into her violet eyes and caressed her electric blue hair. "Go for it, dear. I'm cheering on you."

Evelyn's smile widened, and she nodded.

Evelyn walked towards the arena. When she reached the arena, she directly chose deathmatch. Sonata raised an eyebrow and said, "I will let you think about it a little more. Are you sure about choosing deathmatch? I don't want to brag, but I'm not a normal level eight cultivator…."

Evelyn didn't speak and took out her spear.

Sonata shook his head and also chose deathmatch. "Don't blame me for being ruthless, little girl."

He covered himself in a brown and grey aura. Evelyn also used her energy coat; however, it was different from normal coats!

It was the evolved coat from [Thunder light coat], [Thunder light armor]! An armor of blue lightning wrapped around her chest, legs, and wrists, giving her an imposing aura. She managed to advance her coat today morning. Before this battle, Evelyn had used her normal coat because the energy consumption of the advanced version was much higher. Since this was her last battle, she didn't have to hold back!

Yasenia on the stands smiled widely and laughed, "Impressive! She managed to transform her coat first of us! Hahaha, my dear is a genius!"

Even Tatyana raised an eyebrow in surprise. The seniors in the stands also were surprised. "So young, and she managed to evolve her elemental coat!?"

"Where is that little girl from?"

"I think she is also from the academy. So many monstrous geniuses have appeared in the academy this year…."

Knowledge about the transformed elemental coat wasn't very spread among low-level cultivators because evolving an elemental coat will normally be done during the Unification realm or the Dantian transformation realm. Madeleine also mentioned it once in class on passing and nothing more. Of course, she has instructed Yasenia and Cecile personally about them. Andrea was nearest to evolving the coat of their group, just a single step away.

Yasenia didn't think her advice at that time would lead to this, but she was beyond elated!

Sonata looked confused, "A materialized elemental coat? It doesn't matter; let's begin. [Black Tortoise carapace]" His brown and grey coat gained a black undertone.

Evelyn charged toward him using [Flash lightning steps]. When Evelyn saw he was about to move, she completely focused and activated [Thunder light charge].

*Rumble!* Blue electric arcs surrounded her figure as her speed soared, flashing toward him spear first.

The cultivator was surprised by her speed. However, he reacted fast. He slashed up with his sword, creating a metal and earth wall from the ground. Evelyn's spear collided with the wall with a loud explosive sound, *BANG!*

Evelyn managed to destroy the wall, but its hardness made her charge come to a stop and rebounded her. 'His defense is too high...'

Evelyn advanced again using [Flash lightning steps]. This time, her movements became erratic like an electric spark. Since Sonata had problems following her actions with his eyes, he waited for her to approach.

With quick footwork, Evelyn managed to position herself on his side. Her body exploded with blue lightning, activating [Electric Overcharge]. Her reflexes, agility, and strength multiplied. Then she chanted, "[Lightning Barrage]."

By the time Sonata turned, Evelyn was already thrusting forwards.

He blocked using his defensive coat, and… *BANG!* His feet slid slightly, but he didn't receive damage. He turned toward her and was about to counterattack, but her spear was already reaching for him again! He didn't have any other option but to block,

*BANG!*

Then another.

*BANG!*

Another.

*BANG!*

*BANG, BANG, BABABABANG!*

Each spear thrust was going faster and faster, and the electricity around Evelyn coursed in wider arcs and around her whole body. Sonata knew that he couldn't continue like this, so he used his footwork to move around and create muddy terrain.

Sword and spear collided again and again. Evelyn didn't lose momentum as she continued her barrage, sticking to his side like a shadow. Sonata was becoming frustrated because Evelyn's attacks were too quick.

A white light began leaking from the side of her eyes, and her eyes suddenly glowed "[Light Overcharge: Eyes]."

Everything slowed down for Evelyn, and the world lost color except for Sonata's attacks and himself.

Sonata knew that he had to interrupt this barrage, or he would have a problem. After blocking the next spear thrust, he used his body and lunged towards Evelyn."[Black Tortoise charge]."

Evelyn saw how the grey and brown energy covered his body instead of his sword, so she anticipated a body attack. Then, as she expected, she saw him lunging towards her. With graceful steps, she circled him and swung her spear horizontally with the spin. "[Thunder swipe]."

Her spear flashed like a bolt of blue lightning, and her horizontal strike landed on his unguarded side.

*BANG!*

Sonata was sent flying with his body bent. 'That hurt!'

'Even with all this attacks, I haven't hurt him in the slightest!' Evelyn decided to do an all for nothing.

Everything slowed down for Evelyn as her meridians pumped energy recklessly.

"[Thunder Light Overcharge]."

The blue lighting around her was consumed by white lightning, and thick electric arcs surrounded Evelyn.

Evelyn felt her meridians tensing and about to burst, but she didn't stop.

"[Luminous spear]."

While Sonata was flying, she created a light and lightning spear and took it with her right hand. She took one step forwards with her left foot. Her body rotated from her ankle to her waist. Carrying that momentum, her torso followed, using all her upper body muscles to carry that force and multiply it. Then, her shoulder transferred all that momentum to her arm. "[Luminous Spear Throw]."

*RRUMBLE!!*

With a thundering sound, the white spear disappeared from her hand and instantly impacted his chest.

*BOOOM!!*

Sonata didn't even know what happened when he felt like something rammed his chest, knocking out the air from his lungs and accelerating his flying speed.

*BANG!*

Sonata smashed heavily against the protective wall, breaking some bones, and gaining a serious concussion that made him dizzy for a moment.

A moment that Evelyn didn't miss.

While she was still overcharged, she pointed her spear towards him, and trying to ignore the pain in her body; she shouted, "[Luminous charge]!"

The ground cracked below her, and she shot forward like a bolt of white lightning.

Sonata spat blood and shouted, "[BLACK TORTOISE RESISTANCE]!" His unresponsive body recovered instantly, and he focused his defensive aura, transforming it into a black shield before him.

*BOOM!*

Evelyn collided with the shield, and the energy shield bent inwards. Evelyn kept pushing as electric currents consumed the surroundings.

Evelyn's eyes started bleeding as she screamed,

"BREAAAAK!!!!"

*CRASH!*

*BOOM!*

Evelyn destroyed the shield and pierced him in his chest, impaling him in the protective barrier!

Sonata felt the white bolts of lightning coursing through his body and tried to resist. However, Evelyn pumped her energy to her limits, making the white lightning harm not only Sonata, but also herself!

Sonata couldn't keep them at bay anymore and shouted, "I surrender!"

A senior appeared instantly and dispersed the lightning bolts and their energies. Evelyn stopped her attack and spat blood heavily, then her skin split open in some parts, unable to contain the energy inside of her.

The medical staff instantly appeared and began healing both. Then, the announcer shouted, "Winner... EVELYN!"

The spectating crowd exploded in cheers! "What a battle! That girl gave 200% of effort!"

"Truly impressive. She took the initiative from the beginning and didn't lose it until the end!"

"However, she was too reckless. I don't know if she will have permanent damage after this."

"Youngsters nowadays are more and more uncaring."

Yasenia jumped from the stands and followed the medical staff. When she reached their side, she saw that white lightning was still coursing around her body and asked, "Seniors, do you want me to absorb the extra energy? I can use my tail to absorb it."

The medical staff looked at her and nodded. "It will help the recovery a lot."

Yasenia asked, "Where is best to coil my tail? Please guide me."

Yasenia coiled her tail as they said. When the tail came into contact with the bolts, Yasenia hissed in pain! 'Strong! Her lighting is hurting me even in this passive state….'

After working with the medical staff for half an hour, Evelyn was already out of danger. Yasenia looked at the burn marks on her tail with a smile. 'They aren't being left behind. It seems that my dual cultivation technique is working properly. I must ask about it more deeply to mom when I have time.'

She felt a weight falling off her shoulders.

Although she didn't mind becoming a lot stronger than her lovers, their growth was as important to her. Yasenia didn't want to leave her lovers behind while she advanced because that way, not only would she be able to explore the world with them and without worries, but they would become her strongest allies wherever she went.

Angel and the rest arrived after hearing about the next and final stage of the tournament. They saw Yasenia sitting beside an asleep Evelyn and caressing her head. Cecile asked, "How is Evelyn? We've heard about the next stage of the tournament. There are some rules you might want to hear."

Yasenia nodded and asked, "When is it starting? I want to let Evelyn wake up before hearing about it. Evelyn is quite insightful and might give some advice."

Cecile answered, "They have to modify the formation; hence, it will take some time. It is the day after tomorrow."

Yasenia nodded and asked, "Is that why mom isn't here?"

The others nodded. Andrea said, "This infirmary is safe, so she told us to wait here until she finishes helping there."

Yasenia nodded and reassured them that Evelyn was okay. Angel went to her side, and Yasenia placed her on her lap. Then, they began speaking about Evelyn's fight.

Meanwhile, a group of cultivators from the junior generations were having a conversation. The first one was the silver-haired man that spoke with Yasenia before, "We didn't expect her to be that strong. After her battle, the academy in the eyes of the public has become even mightier. Worse, we lost Long Tian Xue."

A woman with purple hair and seductive clothing exclaimed, "Our Poppy sect must get her! Her Yin and Yang energy are extremely pure. Ahn~ Just thinking about sucking her is making me wet~."

One blonde man with tanned skin and a lean build nodded, "With her quality of Yin energy, her insides must also be top-notch. Raping her should be a delight. "

The silver-haired man shook his head, "Tang Luo Xuan, I'm not sure if to be impressed that you can think about that of the murderer of your sister or be impressed because you don't seem angry at all."

Tang Luo Xuan sneered and said, "My sister was a waste of resources anyway. Now that she is dead, her things will become mine. It is a shame that her slaves were transported to the slave houses after her death. I wanted to break some of them."

The purple-haired woman, Natalia, asked, "Anyway, Gerd, why did you gather us here? Aren't you from the academy? Why are you trying to kill people from it?"

Gerd said, "My sister wanted to advance cultivation faster to catch up to that lizard woman. It seemed that she has become stupid after meeting with that seductress."

He shook his head and said, "Therefore, I contacted a recruiter of the demonic sect. He saw that both of us had good potential and told me to end our contract with the academy. The elder will send us to a branch of the Demonic Sect. With our talent, becoming part of the main sect of the Demon sect will be easy. That way, I can also take Lucia far away from her."
