Chapter 1320 Another Victory
?The sudden vanishing of Ning brought a layer of confusion to the whole battle that the girl could not handle.
She felt Essence around her and could vaguely sense where Ning was, but it wasn't accurate at all. At best, she could only tell that he was beneath her. As for the preciseness, it would have to wait until Ning appeared again.
As she thought that, Ning surfaced behind her, and the vagueness turned firm as she knew exactly where he saw. N♡vεlB¡n: Transforming Moments into Memories.
A glow surrounded her, immediately blinding everyone who watched her before she quickly turned around to cut at Ning with her sword. He had caught him off guard, and this was the best time to—
The sword stopped like it had hit a wall. The light vanished and a smiling Ning emerged from the brightness, the two scythes of his hands firmly interlocking the sword in between them.
His smile grew wider and he tore the sword apart.
The girl shrieked in panic.
The broken sword suddenly turned into a bright flash of light and disappeared from right in front of everyone, and Ning vanished back into a pool of shadow. A moment later, he appeared further away from the girl.
"You!" the girl growled in a low voice.
Ning looked at her and gave a rueful smile. "I will give you one later," he quickly told the girl. "I have a few light swords."
The girl was still seething in anger, but it lessened a bit after hearing him. She nodded slowly but snorted all the same.
Ning said nothing and instead created a vortex of shadow in front of him that quickly turned into a spike that flew toward the girl. The spike hit the girl right in the chest and she was thrown far away.
The boy quickly recited the proper greeting he was meant to give to a customer but stopped halfway through when he realized it was Ning and Rova.
"Did it go well?" he asked. He wanted to go see what his teacher did too, but unfortunately, he was too beat up to say anything. Ning still didn't hold back on letting him get hurt every morning.
"It went better than well," Rova said excitedly. "Your teacher made something incredible."
She quickly turned around. "Boss, what exactly did you do? Can you teach me too?" she asked.
Ning shrugged. "Sure, when I have the time," he said. He turned to Hadden. "Any customers?"
"2," the boy answered. "One left after realizing it was not you here, and the other found out you were already gone to the arena and hurried off. No sales."
"I see," Ning said. "Good job."
"You go get something to eat, boss," the girl said. "I will look after the shop for now."
"No, you go," Ning said. "We're closing the shop for today."
The girl looked perplexed. "Closing the shop? What for?" she asked.
"Let's just say... renovations," Ning said, giving a cheeky smile. "Alright, off with you two. Hadden taken Lory and Umbra out as well. I don't want to hurt them on accident."
"Got it," the boy said and walked away.
"What are you going to do?" Rova asked warily.
Ning only put a finger to his lips in a hushing gesture. "You'll find out soon enough."
