Chapter 3 - Battle of genius

An old man with long white hair, wearing a golden robe and holding a staff. Sitting on top of the arena.

"Elder Lu!"

"The Roaring Sword is here aswell?!"

"Hero of Huangzhang!"

Nan Heng looked at the old man.

"It certainly fit the description of Elder Lu."

Lu Wang or Elder Lu, many people call him 'The Roaring Sword'. Because when he swing his sword, it split apart the sky, Roaring through it. He was a side character and he was one of the character Nan Heng liked the novel.

His goal and ideology were far superior than Yuang Guai. And that is why Nan Heng liked him.

"First battle, Gan Hao against Yuang Meili!"

"Wait what?!"

"Already?!"

"This would be interesting."

"This is truly the battle of genius!"

People were talking to each other. While Nan Heng was observing silently. Gan Hao and Yuang Meili both stood infront of each other.

"Let's have a great fight!"

Both of them said the same word. Bowing down to each other. As they finished bowing to each other, both of them quickly step back. Yuang Meili unsheated her sword quickly. Her sword emitted an blue aura.

"Is that?!"

"Hanzhu?!"

"At that age already?!"

Nan Heng calmly observing her.

'That is hanzhu? Well, i never got to see it in reality. Back then, i can only imagine it. So that's the real deal, how beautiful.'

"You crazy bitch, we just started fightning and you're already using Hanzhu?"

"Shut up, this time i will not lose."

Yuang Meili stance changed, her eyes became more focused, and her breathing became more calm. Her sword and whole body start to twitch creating an afterimage.

"Shi-"

Gan Hao quickly ducked, dodging Yuang Meili quick slash.

"Was that, The Pure Sword martial art?"

"Yeah, that was really quick, i can't even follow her movement with my eye."

"Bitch, you're using martial art and Hanzhu? Even though im not using anything right now?"

Gan Hao complain to Yuang Meili

"Shut up, and focus on the battle."

Yuang Meili warn Gan Hao.

"Sigh, alright then. I thought we were going to have fun, but i guess not."

Gan Hao getting into his stance. He clenched his fist. His eyes became more focused. His hand emitted a green aura. He was also using Hanzhu. But Gan Hao's Hanzhu was bigger than Yuang Meili.

Both of them quickly disappeared from the place they are standing. Clashing with each other.

Clank! Clank!

"So fast!"

"Wow i can't see anything."

"So this is what the battle of 2 genius looks like."

Nobody could follow their movement, except for Nan Heng.

"Did they said it was fast? How on earth can i see them then? They are just running and attacking each other at a normal speed. How is it fast?"

For some reason Nan Heng could see all of their movement.

"Ah forget it, let's just focus on the fight."

Both of them continously attacking each other. All the dust in the arena are flying in the air.

Both of them jumped together. Their gaze meet while both of them clashed. They take a few step back.

"This isn't going anywhere. Let's just finish this."

The air surrounding Gan Hao began to gather around his palm.

"Is that?!"

"He is going to use it?"

"Death ghost palm!"

Gan Hao aura became thicker. He is now using intermediate Hanzhu.

"Mother, brother is using it."

"I know Yueha, watch and learn from your brother."

"Yes, mother."

Gan Hao stance changed. His leg became firm. And his eyes locked in Yuang Meili, piercing right through her. Directing his palm toward her.

Yuang Meili also became more calm. Her swor, shine even brighter. She also changed her stance. Lowering her body, holding her sword right beside her head. Her breathing became more stable.

'Pure Sword Style 3rd form : Harmonize Flow.'

Both of them in a matter of second quickly jumped toward each other. Gan Hao released an enormous energy with a form of his palm. While Yuang Meili slashed that energy with her Pure Sword Style.

Redirecting that palm direction, toward the crowd of people watching.

"M-MOVE!"

The crowd quickly moved from the spot. Nan Heng was one of them.

"Holy shit!"

Nan Heng quickly dodged the palm energy. Nan Heng looked at the destroyed seat he sat before.

'That could've been me if i hadn't move.'

"Hey, watch where you're attacking! Someone could've died from that!"

Nan Heng shouted at the both of them. Gan Hao and Yuang Meili stopped fightning, looking at him. Everyone else in the arena also looked at Nan Heng.

'Ah, i shouldn't have scream out loud.'

"Who's that?"

"Did he just dare to shout toward the young dragon?!"

"Probably just a local who doesn't know anything."

Everyone was talking about Nan Heng.

Gan Hao looked at the boy who looked like the same age of him.

'Hmm? Who's that? Did he just criticize us? Hahaha, interesting.'

Yuang Meili also had the same thought.

'He dare to shout at us? A nobody?'

Nan Heng soon take a seat. Hiding his face with his hand.

'This is the worse.'

He shouldn't have shouted. Now he gathered many attention from many martial artist, let alone the main character aswell. Both Gan Hao and Yuang Meili looked at each other once more.

"Should we pick where we left before?"

Gan Hao talked to her. Without saying any word, Yang Meili attacked Gan Hao. Gan Hao dodged her easily.

"Bitch, you're a coward you know that right?"

But she continue attacking Gan Hao. Nan Heng in his seat, suddenly stand up.

'I should leave now, i don't need more unwated attention. Especially by those monster.'

He quickly left the arena, back in the library. As he entered.

Plak!

"Guagh!"

Someone hit his head. He looked up to see who hit him.

"So, where have you been?"

It was Bang Jin, his teacher. Smiling at him with a wide smile. While saying those word.

'Why is his smile so scary?'

Nan Heng couldn't help but think about that.

"I was... watching something."

"Hmmm, what did you watch making you late to my class?"

"Euuuh, martial art tournament?"

"Ahh, is that so?"

Bang Jin slowly walked up to him, with a creepy smile.

"Old man? Why are you coming toward me with such smile?"

Bang Jin keep walking toward him, while Nan Heng slowly moved back.

"Old man?"

"Guaghhh! Have mercy old man! AAHHHH!"

Multiple scream can be heard as Bang Jin hit Nan Heng continously.

"You bastard! You skipped my class just for that? Why don't you go ahead and became a martial artist huh?"

"Im sorry, please have mer-AHHHH!"

Nan Heng screamed again. After awhile, Nan Heng scream finally stopped. As he was lying on the ground, filled with wound.

"Bastard, if you're going to be like this i can't teach you anymore. Look for other teacher."

Bang Jin left him on the ground filled with many wound.

"Damn that old bastard."

Nan Heng slowly stand up. Grabbing a chair and sat on it.

" i Guess, i should learn it by myself."

Nan Heng read the book about history in the library for 2 hour straight.

"Ahh, so that's how the Wuyon's mountain were made. The novel never told the origin of that mountain. 2 dragon created that mountain by standing next to each other creating a foundation for the mountain. And soon they fell asleep."

"I wonder if the dragon there still alive."

Nan heng thought about it, what would happend if you wake up those dragon. Because in the novel there is only 1 arc involving the Wuyon mountain and then after that. The Wuyom mountain didn't get involved again in the main story.

As he was reading history, a girl with a elegant demeanor, wearing a white long robe. Her leg were slander. And her face was really beautiful. Nan Heng looked at the girl.

"Ah, you're that guy from before. The one who shouted at my brother."

"Sorry that was not on purpo-wait brother? What do you mean by that?"

"The participant that you screamed at, his name was Gan Hao."

'Gan Hao? He is her brother? Wait... fuck.'

"I'm sorry i think you got the wrong person."

Nan Heng put up a wide smile.

'Please fall for it! Please fall for it!'

"No, im sure you're the one who shouted at the arena before."

'Fuck, i didn't think Gan Jangran have a second child.'

"Ah, is that so? Ha..ha..ha."

Silence take room in the library for a while.

'This is awkward.'

"Look i'm sorry i didn't mean to shout at your brother."

Nan Heng bowed down.

'Yes this is the greatest npc move to do.'

"No, i totally understand that, since you almost got hit by that attack."

"Ah, i see."

Silence filled the room once more.

"Well, i need to go. It's nice meeting you miss?"

"Yueha, Gan Yueha."

"Right, let's meet again next time miss Yueha."

'Even though there will be no next time.'

"Yes, till we meet again, what's your name?"

"Suban, Yun Suban"

'Fuck, to think i need to think about chinese fake name.'

"Right, Suban."

Nan Heng quickly left the library, hoping to never see her again.

'She should've live far away from here right? Tomorrow, she is definetly gone from here. By then, i will use the library.'

Nan Heng went back to his place in the inn to take a rest. As Nan Heng closed library door. Yueha quickly take a seat and start reading a book. After awhile, someone opened the library door.

"Let's go sister. It's time."

It was Gan Hao, waiting at the door.

"Alright, big brother."

Yueha put her book back to the bookshelf and walked with her brother outside.

"Oh, right big brother."

"Yeah?"

"I accidently came across the guy who shouted at you from this morning at the library."

"Really? Hahahaha."

"Why are you laughing brother Hao?"

"Nothing, it's just that guy was interesting."

Gan Hao chuckled. Wiping his tear from laughing.

"Did you find out about his name?"

"Yes, his name was Yun Suban."

"I see, Yun Suban huh."

Gan Hao looked up to the sky.

'I'll remember that.'
