Chapter 55: My Soul
Chapter 55: My Soul
The tension between the two was enormous, they decided to settle the round with one single blow, Even though the onlookers want them to finish in a single blow, in their mind they already have a winner.
"Ernan most definitely won this round," said one of the expert.
"Will a miracle happen twice?" said a young boy.
"Just believe, our prince is really awesome and sneaky, I doubt he would grab Ernan's penis, he must have another way," said one the 'bodyguard'.
*drip
*drip
The sound of liquid dropping from the sky filled the area and it's getting harder and harder.
"Lyon, I will show you my finest martial art, Fist of Lion," said Ernan as he closed his eyes to feel the movement of the energies.
Lyon didn't respond to Ernan's statement, (Ah my good luck, it's raining!).
Then Lyon grabbed an item which was hidden inside his pocket to make sure that it's there before he grinned evilly.
"Hmph." Ernan opened his eyes with full focus.
"It's about to start, don't miss any detail!" said one of the onlooker.
"I got my dumpling ready!" said one of the boys.
*munch
*munch
"I already ate half of it." said another.
Lyon stretched his right hand toward Ernan, taunting him to make the first move. Ernan smiled in response.
*HAAAAHHHH!!!
Ernan let out a massive warcry like a king of the jungle.
*munch
*munch
The boys ate their dumpling even faster, like a rat.
*Swoosh
Ernan ran toward Lyon with invincible momentum, but Lyon didn't seem to care at all.
Just before the last step, Lyon grabbed the item and threw it on the ground.
(Now!).
*Thud.
Then Lyon jumped to the side to avoid Ernan's trajectory.
*slip
Ernan right foot stepped on something slippery and launch him forward.
"Ah? It missed!" said one of the onlooker.
"Holy damn! A miracle again!"
"But wait, where is Ernan going!"
*sleet
Ernan momentum couldn't be stopped, even by himself. The moment his right foot stepped on something, he knew he fucked. Combine with the wet ring, he tried everything in his power to stop his momentum but to no avail.
Luckily the speed slowed down just right before the sides of the ring.
*phew
Ernan breathes of relief was short before an ultimate technique attacked his back.
"Out of bound kick!" shouted Lyon.
*bang
*thud
"The winner from out of bounds, Lyon Torga!" said the judge like it was a normal day in his life.
*gulp
*choke
Some of the boys manage to swallow the dumpling, while other's were choking because they want to laugh at the result but the voice stuck on the food in their throat.
*yeah!!
*go, prince!!
The boys who manage to swallow the food roar in victory like it was them who battle in the ring, while the rest passed out from choking and dragged to the local doctors.
*ehem
"Since we have our winners, to determine the finalist, the last three will do a battle royal in three hours from now, that is all," said the judge as he walked out from the ring.
Ernan only sighed at the result and walked away, he just lost to a mere peak Element Realm. No, to be exact, he lost to a banana peel!
----------------------------------------
Lyon and the others decided to go back to Riku's home.
"Ah, how was the walk? Is there something interesting going on?" asked Tiene.
"Well.." Riku then explained everything including the young elder from the Central Region but not the way Lyon win the competition.
"Wow," Tiene couldn't believe so much thing happen.
"Ah, it never changes, no matter how many time passed in Mist Clan, the boys vs the girls are always a thing," said Yiaz.
"Sometimes I don't understand, everywhere you go, you always cause trouble and not just any trouble, it's always a big one too," said Karina as she shook her head.
"Also, most of the times, it involve a beautiful woman," said Jugen with a slight envy.
Lyon was speechless, he never thought about it before, (Wow, now that I think about it... Nah, I don't wanna think about it, low key is not my style unless I infiltrate a kingdom or a queen's room maybe).
"Well, hubby, what is your strategy for the battle royal?" asked Ryona.
"Yeah, I heard the other two were women, you are not gonna try to grope them are you?" said Luna with a menacing glare.
(Girl, you just read my mind.) thought Lyon.
(Grope? hey, what are you guys talking about?!) thought Yiaz before Jugen whispered and explained.
(Goddamn it! That lucky bastard! Why didn't I think of that back then, Argh!!).
"Hmmm.." Tiene glanced at Yiaz as if she knew what he was thinking.
*gulp
With just a glance, all the negative thought inside Yiaz was deleted like a file from the recycle bin.
"Well?" Luna determined to get an answer from Lyon.
"To be honest, I don't know what to do. I don't think they would take the same bait."
"Why don't you just breakthrough to Soul Realm?" suggested Karina.
"I actually don't know how to?" said Lyon while scratching his head.
"Little brother, to understand the soul, you must have a clear will," said Kyoko before continuing, "A soul is a combination of will and mind."
(A combination of will and mind?) thought Lyon.
(What is my will? What's in my mind?) then Lyon began to picture it.
(My mind, what is it, oh it's coming I can see it ... It's a ... boobs .... what the fuck?!) then Lyon shook his head to try again.
(Ah it's better, a figure, ... a woman .. oh no ... it's naked!)
*shake head
No matter how many times Lyon try, the results were the same, just the amount of women increased each time.
(Alright so be it, then what is my will? ... combination of will and mind .. hmmm ... ah, no way right? It can't be. Please don't let it be that! Am I really like that?)
*gulp
(It's not being the most powerful cultivator, not being the wealthiest merchant, not being the smartest Alchemist it's ... it's ... *sigh, I want to bang beautiful women.)
*zing
(I love my life hah!)
