Chapter 69: Gods

Shen Yu stood with his hands behind and looked at Ying Yue with a profound smile. He then asked.

"Shall we start?"

"How are we going to start the training, Master?"

Ying Yue asked, a little puzzled.

"I first want to see how good you are so you will attack with all you have and with the intentions to kill. Remember, killing is necessary on the path of cultivation, without it it's nigh impossible to reach the top. So, give it your all as if you want to kill me. Actually, just kill me!"

Shen Yu said, still having his hand behind his back. He looked extremely confident that Ying Yue wouldn't be able to kill him even if she tried her best. Even she knew that fact.

However, Shen Yu was actually training her for the tournaments. There were many factors involved in winning the tournament and fighting wasn't the only one. One such factor was confident. He wanted to see what Ying Yue would do when faced against an invincible opponent.

Ying Yue's faces grew serious as she contemplated for a few moments before nodded her head in agreement. She was utterly serious as her eyes burned with a strange kind of passion that overshadowed everything she was feeling, be it fear, anxiety and anything.

Shen Yu smiled and then cleared some space for Lan Ming and Xiao Lan, where they would be able to see their fight cleary without getting harmed. Though, the fighting would be difficult for them to watch as it was going to be a assassination fight.

He then summoned two daggers and threw them to Ying Yue. She took it and listened to his explanation.

"They were Twin Shadow Dragons and can help you conceal your aura. They also have a sharp blade which can even peirce Tier 4 Spiritual Creature's body. It should be good for you."

Ying Yue nodded and closed her as she took a deep breath to get ready. She was nervous, too nervous because she was fighting Shen Yu, however she also wanted to give her all so she shoved aside those thoughts. Now, only a cold mind was there, thinking of everything she could do.

Shen Yu picked up a small twig of a tree and waved it a few times. Nodding in satisfaction, he again stood face to face with Ying Yue.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow before chuckling. He patted her head which made Ying Yue to almost break her serious face. He then said.

"I forgot this is your all out. Assassination. Alright, we'll fight face to face. I'm sure you're good with it too."

"Yes, we were also trained to fight in open so although I don't excel it it, I still can do decent."

"Alright then, attack with all you all and kill me."

Ying Yue nodded as she clutched the identity token and willed the forest to be cleared. In its place now stood a mountain range and they were standing on a big fighting ring with stands surrounding them.

Xiao Lan looked at everything as she narrowed her eyes as her heart grew heavy and she thought

'We are practically Gods who can do anything in this space. Since Sister Yue has the control over this space, she is the god. Master, you're giving too much for your disciples. What if they betrayed you? What if...'

However, then she felt a hand resting on her hand. She turned to look at Lan Ming who had a light smile on her face. She turned towards her and said.

"I can guess what you're thinking, Sister Lan. But you're worrying too much. I know it's because of your past but I request you to see what Master is doing. He's kind and he has put his trust in us, his wives. Do you think a relationship filled with doubts can last long?"

Xiao Lan was tongue tied and simply looked at Lan Ming for answers.

"No, it won't. Master is looking for partners who would accompany him for a very very long time and he wants to have a sincere relationship with us. That's why he put his trust in us, his wives."

She looked at Xiao Lan and asked.

"Then, why do you fear so much?"
