Chapter 137: Chasing to kill

After the kiss, Lan Xuanyu felt that it was worth it even if he had to take a beating. Her face was soft and supple like a baby’s skin, having a hint of a fragrance, and kissing it made him not want to stop.

He was aware that once Dong Qianqiu reacted, she would immediately fly into a rage, so the instant he released her, he quickly turned and walked towards the plaza. ‘Don’t you want to take revenge on me? Then let the thunder come fiercely. I will simply tell the whole world that you’re my girlfriend. What can you do about it? I’ll be leaving in two days anyway.’

His shout was like thunder and jolted all the surrounding students to dumbstruck states.

The male students that originally had the intention to challenge him stopped advancing.

For him to arrogantly declare his sovereignty, he must have some sort of support, right? That was what they were all thinking.

Lan Xuanyu initially thought that with his shout, people would immediately take action. Who would have thought that the surroundings would remain silent. He suddenly felt an ice-cold killing intent erupt from behind him.

“LAN—XUAN—YU—” a scream that carried a hint of wail sounded out behind him. It sounded as though she had screamed through her teeth, as it was filled with endless killing intent!

Lan Xuanyu quivered from the cold and turned around, only to see Dong Qianqiu’s red eyes.

Dong Qianqiu was about to go crazy. She never expected this. Under the scrutiny of others in the public place, she had decided to let him go. But he actually—actually kissed her in front of so many people and even declared that he was her boyfriend.

How would she face the others in the academy from now on? The anger in her was so great, she no longer cared if she angered Nana or not. ‘You, have infuriated me!’

Soul rings surged from her feet, two yellow and one purple. A cold mist suddenly surrounded the air around Dong Qianqiu, causing the temperature to plummet. With a flick on her toes, she appeared before Lan Xuanyu. An ice spear congealed in her right hand as she thrust it toward his chest.

Seeing her red eyes, Lan Xuanyu knew that he had gone overboard. He quickly retreated and unleashed the Blue Silver Grass from his hands.

Golden patterned Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his arm as minute golden scales enveloped them. He unleashed a punch towards her ice spear.

“Bang”. The ice spear shattered immediately. Dong Qianqiu paused in midair for a moment, as Lan Xuanyu’s strength had undoubtedly surpassed her speculations. But she saw a single white soul ring emerge from his body.

Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei had not summoned her for a period of time. After all, they felt that summoning dragon-related soul beasts with the support of the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass was more dependable. So despite not knowing Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation level, with one look, she was able to tell that he had not obtained his second soul ring!

Cold, bone-chilling intent exploded out of the ice spear. Lan Xuanyu was rather familiar with Dong Qianqiu; he knew she had rich battle experience and that her ice element was extremely powerful.

With a flicker, he used the momentum of the attack to jump onto the lake.

 ‘I can’t win this unless I use my martial soul fusion technique, but I can’t control it that well. What if I accidentally kill or severely harm her? Better to escape back to Teacher Nana to be safe.’ He immediately came up with a plan. So long as he stayed by Teacher Nana’s side for the next few days, Dong Qianqiu would have her hands tied.

Upon landing on the lake, Lan Xuanyu placed his left hand downwards, forming a layer of ice. The instant his toes touched the ice platform, he escaped further.

Dong Qianqiu snorted. She threw the ice spear with a wave of her right hand. It shot towards Lan Xuanyu as she leaped into the air and chased after him like a daffodil.

Her second soul ring lit up and caused the temperature around them to plunge even further as an ice mist congealed around her. When Lan Xuanyu turned his head back for a look, he was scared out of his wits. Within the ice mist were hundreds of ice awls that had already formed. The ice mist instantly floated above him, sealing his path of escape.

No matter how good his footwork was, he required space to move around! Unfortunately, she did not give him an opportunity to run.

Second soul skill, Ice wave! The substantial strengthening of ice attributed abilities was Dong Qianqiu’s extremely strong auxiliary soul skill.

Faced against the large patch of ice awls, Lan Xuanyu dropped to the water surface and formed an ice shield as he curled up behind it. He had no choice but to defend himself by reducing his surface area.

Dong Qianqiu immediately summoned another ice spear. She pointed the ice spear downwards and controlled the ice awls to shoot straight at Lan Xuanyu.

That was too much!

Lan Xuanyu immediately felt his entire body forced down. The ice platform beneath him immediately shattered and caused him to fall into the water.

His silver patterned Blue Silver Grass’s first soul skill could be considered water elemental control. Obviously, it was extremely beneficial to his control of the water inside the lake.

The instant he entered the water, a vortex formed around him. The ice awls that followed after him into the lake were deflected to the side by the vortex.

Lan Xuanyu controlled the water wave and pushed himself towards land at a very rapid pace.

However, just then, he suddenly felt an intense sense of peril. He turned to look, only to see a figure emitting a dark blue light charging towards him.

 ‘Oh my god! What is that, a gigantic blue shark?’ Although it looked as though it was completely formed of energy, it was about seven to eight meters long. And it swam extremely quickly inside the water; it was about to reach him in an instant.

Lan Xuanyu placed his left hand on the water and drew support from the recoil to push himself upwards.

The students on the side of the plaza watched Lan Xuanyu plunge into the water only to resurface at the other side in a few seconds. And right behind him was a bloodthirsty shark, ready to devour him.

Fortunately, the force from the water pressure was more than sufficient. Lan Xuanyu curled up in midair, narrowly avoiding the shark’s large mouth.

Just then, a burst of cold wind descended. With a raise of his head, he saw Dong Qianqiu with her ice-cold expression thrusting her ice spear down.

Lan Xuanyu had performed a series of movements, resulting in him being stuck in midair without any place for support. He had already exhausted his limited abilities.

Helpless, he was only able to raise his right arm to block the ice spear.

At this moment, he understood that the shark inside the lake was most probably Dong Qianqiu’s Spirit Soul.

The modern soul masters’ Spirit Souls were mostly used to strengthen soul skills. Although there were combat abilities from manmade Spirit Souls, they were rarely used. The reason for this was that Spirit Souls were difficult to control and consumed even more Spiritual Power. Current age Soul Guidance Technology focused on merging Spiritual Power into Mechas or battle armors, forging a path to Duo Mecha Masters. Very few were willing to give up their Spiritual Power to control Spirit Souls.

Manmade Spirit Souls were unlike real Spirit Souls, which had their own intelligence. Thus, they were gradually washed out. Lan Xuanyu did not expect Dong Qianqiu’s control over her own Spirit Soul to be so strong.

“Bang!” The gold scales on Lan Xuanyu’s right hand trembled from the impact. As the powerful attack descended on him, he was forced straight back into the water. The dark blue Spirit Soul shark had its mouth open, waiting for him to fall straight in.

 ‘I’m done for!’

At this crucial moment, Lan Xuanyu subconsciously placed his hands together, about to use the martial soul fusion technique. Then he realized that using the martial soul fusion technique would result in a drop in his Soul Power. Although his recovery rate was extremely fast, it required many days! That would mean he could not rise to rank 20 with Nana’s help.

 ‘What do I do?’
