Southern Pearl – Xiao Ming Mansion, Practice Ground
Wang Yoa swung her blade through the bamboo, cutting a thousand stalks into perfect pieces with sharp precision.
Wang Yoa: "That old foggy… he wants me to send help to his friend's disciple. As far as I know, his disciples have high levels already. Why would they need my help?"
Suddenly, Gu Quan appeared beside her.
Gu Quan: "Come on, Wang Yoa, why worry without reason?"
Wang Yoa:Furious, glaring at him "You idiot! Get away from here, or face the consequences!"
Gu Quan: "Wang Yoa, come on… it's just a problem. I'll face it with you."
Wang Yoa:Waving a finger at him, a sly smirk forming "Really? Let's see…"
Gu Quan:Suddenly frozen in place, staring at her "Wang Yoa… why… can't… move?"
Wang Yoa: "I've frozen you for a minute. As for that old foggy… he wants me to join his friend's disciple army. That means something big is happening—something involving demons."
Gu Quan: "You mean, Wang Yoa… a team has already faced demons that are growing in number?"
Wang Yoa: "Yes. You're right. But this time, it will be different—more difficult, and at a higher level."
Gu Quan: "So we're going to face demons at a much higher level… a real challenge."
Wang Yoa:Confident, smiling slightly "It's okay. This is part of our training. It will make us stronger and help us catch more demons. And now… it gets exciting. Let's see what comes next!"
Wang Yoa sheathed her sword and turned to Gu Quan, her crimson eyes gleaming with determination.
Wang Yoa: "Alright, Gu Quan. We leave for Northern Pearl soon. The moment we arrive, we need to assess the situation and figure out who's really behind this demon growth."
Gu Quan:Still slightly dazed from being frozen "Yes… yes, Wang Yoa. I'll follow your lead."
Wang Yoa smirked and tapped her forehead lightly. "Remember this—no hesitation. Demons won't wait for us to think twice."
Before Gu Quan could respond, a shadow fell over the practice ground. A giant eagle demon—Easter—soared above, its piercing eyes scanning the area.
Wang Yoa:Eyes narrowing "Perfect. Looks like our first test isn't even in Northern Pearl yet."
With a swift motion, she summoned her Blue Flame, the air around her hands crackling with energy. The eagle demon screeched and swooped toward them.
Gu Quan:Drawing his weapon "I'll cover you, Wang Yoa!"
Wang Yoa:Smiling confidently "Don't just cover me—watch and learn."
In a flash, she leapt into the air, her movements a blur. With a flick of her wrist, the Blue Flame formed into a spiraling torrent, striking the demon mid-flight. The creature screeched, its wings singed, and it crashed into the ground, stunned but not defeated.
Wang Yoa:Landing gracefully "See? Training isn't just about strength—it's about control and precision."
Gu Quan:Grinning despite himself "You make it look too easy, Wang Yoa…"
