Heaven, Earth, Me

Evelyn has been quite lucky these first two encounters. Since she almost didn’t manage to pass the previous examination due to bad luck, she has been paired with the weakest and luckiest in the tournament. Her first opponent was a level four cultivator, who she easily overpowered. And the second one was a level five cultivator, and the girl didn’t have a chance against our mischievous spark.

Evelyn waited in place for her third opponent. She was on a small hill with some trees around. She crossed her fingers and hoped to be against a melee cultivator, ‘This environment is too good for ranged ones!’

She saw a level eight cultivator and frowned. ‘Another level eight? What the hell is a level eight doing here? I’m only level two!’

Evelyn sighed, frustrated, ‘How do I manage to win? The previous one was extremely close, and I managed to win because my opponent fought too defensive, giving me too much freedom…’

However, she suddenly saw lighting coursing through him. Evelyn blinked, then blinked again. She looked at the sky and said, “Thanks to Yasenia’s melons! I thought I was done for!”

The man who was walking calmly almost tripped when he heard her, and Tatyana directly burst into laughter, ‘I see that she has her priorities straight! Oh! Yasenia won against that half-step. Well, she isn’t pulling any punches. She finished him off with [Midnight]. Her control is getting better and better; she now can use it once in a while without injuring herself~. So proud of my baby daughter~.’

Tatyana looked around, ‘The others are doing nicely. Kali has improved her control a lot~ If she keeps winning, she will meet with Angel in two matches. Cecile is completely overpowering her opponents because of her new [Moon Arrow] and new technique. Andrea is lucky she surrendered once against that girl; she won’t meet with half-steps until later. However, her opponent next to this one has an interesting trump card…’

Evelyn looked at her jade and saw an impressive 45 645 people viewing her. ‘Why are there so many people watching me?’

Meanwhile, in the coliseum, there was a group supporting their general! Even if they idolized one person, their general always gave them pictures of her! They must confirm that their general wins the necessary three matches to enter the secret realm… so she can share photos of their idol later!

Of course, this group was the S.L.U.T.s that managed to come to the last stage of the tournament!

The man looked at Evelyn and found her familiar. Well, you don’t see many people with electric blue hair and violet eyes. “Oh! You are one of the girls that normally goes with that dragoness, right?”

Evelyn was about to ignore him, but her interest piqued, “What about it? Do you want something from me?”

The man said with a vicious smile, “Of course! I’m Tang Yuan, the cousin of Tang Luo Xuan!”

Evelyn rolled her eyes and said, “Are you going to say that you will make me pay so that Yasenia knows about your pain for losing your female cousin? Moreover, you will then say dramatic lines like you loved her or something, so you will try to force yourself on me?”

Tang Yuan was stumped, and Tatyana thought, ‘She has potential. I shall teach her my fourth-wall-breaking skills. More annoyance to the author.’

(Author crying in a corner: What did I do!?)

Tatyana sneered, ‘I wasn’t with my little treasure enough in the first volume!’

(Author directly pukes blood and faints in depression. ‘You weren’t even supposed to appear in the excursion!’)

Evelyn felt something breaking so hard that she couldn’t help but feel pity for someone. However, those feelings passed fast, like an illusion.

Evelyn returned to herself and heard the man say arrogantly, “Since you know your fate, how about you become a good pet and follow my orders? I won’t mistreat you if you behave yourself.”

Evelyn sighed and asked, “Can I ask you a question?”

Tang Yuan was about to answer, but Evelyn interrupted him, “Nevermind, I will ask anyway, so you don’t need to answer. Why do all of your speech patterns seem the same as the others? Do all of you have the same skill of making sounds unable to pass from one ear to another?”

The man asked, “W-What do you mean?”

Evelyn shook her head, “I even have to explain the joke… Since sound doesn’t travel through the void, it is impossible to pass from one of your ears to another!”

Tang Yuan’s brain gears rustily turned, and it suddenly clicked. Tang Yuan became so angry that he took out his longsword, and his body created purple electrical bolts. “You want to die!?”

Evelyn kept provoking, “By the way, your sister, cousin, or whatever seemed to have the same problem. We couldn’t let her continue living an unbearable life without a brain, so we ended it. Who would have thought that your Tang family would repay goodwill with hatred!”

The man was about to charge when the announcer’s voice brought him back to his senses.

“We will start the last eliminatory round! Those who win this match will get the entrance pass! Juniors, this is the last stretch! Ten! Nine! Eight!…”

The man couldn’t help but sweat coldly, ‘I almost charged! I would have been directly disqualified. Control yourself!’

Evelyn tsked her tongue, ‘I almost got him out with just words! I would have been able to brag about it later.’

Evelyn used [Thunder Light armor] when the countdown was five, and the electric blue armor covered her chest, wrists, and legs. Tang Yuan knew about this, so he looked surprised at her armor but now wasn’t the time to speak, and he surrounded himself with purple bolts.

“Three! Two! One! BEGIN!”

Both stomped the ground and charged at each other.

Tang Yuan used a movement technique, and he accelerated in a straight line. Evelyn wasn’t left behind; with her [Flash Lightning steps] and [Thunder charge], her speed was the same as Tang Yuan!

Sword and spear collided, and blue and purple lightning bolts flew around. Tang Yuan used another lighting technique, and his swinging speed soared. Since he was of much higher cultivation and very aggressive, Evelyn decided to be on the defensive.

She managed to barely block his attacks by spinning her spear and letting the strength of his attack slide her backward. She mastered this momentum management technique after fighting against Yasenia’s heavy attacks.

Tang Yuan frowned and continued to attack her, creating metallic sounds around. ‘I feel like hitting cotton! How is she doing this!?’

The exchanges between spear and sword continued with Evelyn continuously sliding back. Tang Yuan observed and saw his lightning bolts entering her body and smirked, ‘I’m part of a demonic cultivation sect. Do you think that those currents are normal?’

Evelyn continued receiving attacks and absorbing his electrical currents, ‘The bolts are different; they seem to attack my meridians instead of my body… I have to be careful while absorbing them.’

After 3 minutes of going back and forth, Tang Yuan frowned, ‘Why aren’t any wounds appearing on her skin? Even between lighting cultivators, lightning is damaging….’

He changed his rhythm and sent a powerful attack, “[Demonling lighting].”

Countless small lightning bolts shot when he swung his sword vertically. Evelyn was surprised and twisted her body, dodging most of the attack. Moreover, she spun her spear, creating a simple defense, “[Thunder shield].”

Even with this, many of them landed on her. Purple currents ran around Evelyn’s body as she thought internally, ‘Now is your turn, [Lightning Devouring Body]!’

All the small lightning bolts that entered her body were decomposing at incredible speeds and becoming nourishment for her. Even if it paled in comparison with natural lightning or Heavenly lightning, it was still something.

Tang Yuan jumped backward and said, “You can absorb lightning. Is it your constitution?”

Evelyn smirked mischievously, “Who knows~ How about I go a little more seriously? [Electric Overcharge].”

Blue electrical currents appeared on her, lighting up the surroundings. Then, she thrust forwards extremely quickly, using [Lighting Stab]. Tang Yuan saw her spear flash and barely deflected it. He prepared a counterattack, but Evelyn had already recovered her stance and was channeling another skill.

“[Thunder Swipe].”

She made a horizontal strike with the spear and used the length advantage to carry the most momentum. Tang Yuan stepped backward to avoid it, but the spear stopped in front of him.

“[Lightning stab].”

Evelyn’s stab went extremely quickly toward his throat. He moved and let it stab his shoulder; blood splashed!

He grunted in pain and used his sword, aiming at the spear, “[Lightning slash].”

Evelyn hastily pulled back the silver spear, but she wasn’t fast enough, and the sword clashed with it.

*CLANG!*

Her spear got flung sideways, and she almost lost grip of it. Tang Yuan didn’t lose the chance, “[Demonling lighting pierce].”

He lunged toward her stomach, directly towards her Dantian! Evelyn lowered her waist, and the strike landed on her armor.

*BANG!*

The armor stopped the blade while shattering but managed to block most of the damage. However, the strength of the slash sent her flying. Tang Yuan followed after her, Evelyn tried to recover before he reached, but he was fast! “[Demonling lightning steps].”

His speed soared while charging at her and reached her side rapidly. He swung with his sword, and Evelyn dodged, piercing the spear into the ground and abruptly changing directions. ‘That was close!’

Evelyn took a deep breath, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest, ‘That hit to the chest broke some ribs… If I had my coat instead of armor, I would have been done for… Crap, he is stronger than I thought.’

Tang Yuan didn’t stop his pressure and continued his attacks. Evelyn was barely blocking, and his slashes became stronger as time passed. ‘I can’t continue like this! But using my trump card now is too risky….’

The exchange continued for another minute, and Evelyn’s ribs hurt a lot. Evelyn needed some time, so she used [Light charge] and sped away after blocking his attack. Tang Yuan followed, and a cat and mouse game started. Evelyn couldn’t find a way other than using her trump card. ‘Before it is too late for even that, I might as well go out with a bang!’

She gathered her energy and shouted, “[Thunder Light Overcharge]!”

The blue electrical currents became thicker and changed color to white. Evelyn pointed her spear at Tang Yuan and used [Luminous charge].

*BOOM!*

She left a crater on the ground as she sped up like a white electric spark.contemporary romance

Tang Yuan knew that something was coming when she started gathering energy, so he also buffed himself “[Lightning Demonling Body]!”

The purple bolts around him took a blackish color, and his sclera turned grey. Then he used [Demonling lightning steps] and accelerated towards Evelyn.

Both had similar speeds as they charged toward each other. *BANG!* They collided, and the weapon collision created a crater.

Evelyn’s meridians were working overclock, making the energy spin around her body quickly. “[Luminous spear]!”

Her spear got covered by the white lightning, and she attacked with it rapidly. She pierced, did a rising strike, spun the spear, and continued her barrage.

This time, Tang Yuan was having difficulties blocking her attacks, ‘What an impressive technique! She has more strength than me!’

After exchanging uncountable attacks, Evelyn felt her body reaching the limit. “COME ON! ONE MORE PUSH! [LUMINOUS PHANTOM]!”

Her attack created phantom spears that attacked simultaneously, and her blue hair blew in the wind!

“[LIGHTNING DEMON CLAW].” Tang Yuan also used his finisher technique. His weapon swing created another two phantom swords and swung as strong as possible.

Both were overexerting their bodies as they clashed weapons.

*BANG!*

After one clash, they stepped once backward and gathered all of their energy, reaching the climax of the encounter!

“BREAAAK!”

“DIEEE!”

*BOOOM!*
