31 Five Year Deal
"So you finally brought her." Xue Long said that with crossed arms as he looked at Teal haired girl in front of him. Behind this girl was Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.
"I took Yanyan to get her second ring."
"Grandpa! Not in front of the Prince!" The girl said with red cheeks as she was embarrassed to be called like this!
"M-My Prince. My name is Dugu Yan! Don't listen to how my grandpa is calling me!" The girl said that with an embarrassed tone.
"Sure thing. I will call you by your name then." The Fourth Prince said that with a smile. A smile which made the girl's heartbeat accelerate several miles per hour.
"I already heard that you've been making waves. Even in outskirts of Sunset Forest people have been talking about your methods of teaching." Dugu Bo said that with slight fascination. His granddaughter nodded at his words there was a smile on her face.
Being part of such an academy makes her proud!
"I don't follow what people talking about me. Don't have time for those things. I have been slowly incorporating my maid training routines into the main curriculum."
Dugu Bo's eyes slightly widened, there was a hint of relief in his eyes. It appears his granddaughter could gain extreme training AND not become his maid! This is simply perfect for him!
"Though it's a relatively simplified curriculum of what my maids train in. It will eventually show itself when my maid classroom starts."
"Maid Classroom!?" Dugu Yan said with awe in her voice.
"Yes. Since I spend the majority of my time in the academy now. I am in a sense moving in here so this means I am training them here."
"Oh! I am going to join this classroom!"
"Absolutely, not! Yanyan! Maids are servant girls! You are my granddaughter!"
Dugu Yan buffed and puffed hard when her grandfather didn't allow it! However, she relented. That is for a short amount of time. As soon enough she will see those maids in real life and see them in action.
Though even Dugu Bo won't able to say anything after seeing how powerful those girls will be!
~~~
As time was moving on, Gu Yue broke through to Rank 31 and got her third ring which was a purple one. Some of the people were shocked to know how quickly she got her ring.
The girl wanted to see the reaction of Xue Long but all she got was a nod from him.
After that, he asked her to fight against one of his maids it was not Gold or Silver maids of his. No the pair of those are at such a high level that it's not fair.
Instead, she will fight a girl who has a Martial Spirit of a kitchen knife and is in rank 16.
For a few moments, Gu Yue snorted. There is no way in hell she will lose against Rank 16!
Once the pair got in the ring the maid took a martial arts stance.
That moment the Silver Dragon Girl got serious because her instincts told her this is going to be dangerous.
'Only thing I need to do is make sure she doesn't get close!' As she thought about that pair of her wings appeared behind her and she took it into the sky and unleashed a volley of wind and water attacks.
To answer that the maid rushed forward. Dodging every single attack with a millimetre of distance.
For a moment Gu Yue was relieved that her attack has landed a hit. But that only lasted for a short moment as she realised that she missed every single time and the maid was far too close to her by point.
The girl quickly activated her second ring which teleported her away.
The maid's eyes widened as she saw that the girl was gone!
Though it only lasted for a moment as she threw her knife where Gu Yue was.
The knife multiplied when the maid's single yellow Ring glowed.
To answer that the Blackish purple-haired girl created a wall of wind.
The knives simply bounced back after hitting the wind wall.
"While I was surprised that you are this fast there is still 15 ranks of difference between us."
"I apologise for my next attack." The maid said that as she realised that there is no way she can win with conventional means. This means she can only rely on Martial Arts she was trained by her Prince.
"Hm?" The Silver Dragon Girl was confused for a second what does the maid mean?
Around the maid's hands, cloudy energy appeared she took her stance. And kicked off and rushed into the wind wall.
Gu Yue's eyes widened again as she saw the maid lunge at her and did a spin kick that went right through the wind and slammed into her neck!
Everything happened so fast that the Silver Dragon Girl didn't even understand what happened as she was sent flying from the Spirit Arena!
'That kick bypassed the wind wall created from spirit energy!? How?'
Sure enough, the match was won by the maid who was 15 ranks in difference!
The match was observed by the majority of the people. Including Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo and other people. There was quite a bit of a crowd.
So this means that Gu Yue lost quite a bit of face and Xue Long and his Maid initiative got more reputation than ever!
He does wonder what people would think that the maid who fought against the Silver Dragon girl is in truth girl who never had spirit energy before.
She only recently started to cultivate…
However martial arts is something she had to train since she was 6 years old…
~~~~~~After Spar~~~~~~
"Do you know why you lost?"
"Because of those martial things you teach your maids? How did she pass through my wind wall!?" Gu Yue asked with a red face. Her entire left side is still red from that kick!
If the attack was stronger her neck could have possibly broken!
"It was Boundless Fist of Clouds which she did though she didn't reach a level where Martial Avatar can form the attack has attributes of Heaven and Earth.
It has a basis for a meaning; 'For each action, there is a consequence'. In other words. She kicked and the consequence was that it will land on your neck."
Her mouth opened wide when she heard that.
"This… is… how can this is possible? Martial arts can do that?" Gu Yue's world just got flipped upside down! If such a thing is possible then how can she dodge the attack!? It's not even spirit ring ability! The maid beat her without her Martial Spirit!
The maid's Martial Spirit was useless against her First Spirit Ring Ability the Elementalist!
Yet, the moment those martial arts kicked in she was defeated with a single strike!
"Well? Should I put you in detention for ignoring me?" Xue Long's words were like thunder strike in the middle of a cloudless day!
"Eh? N-No! I mean my weakness is close range!?" The Silver Dragon girl quickly got out of her thoughts! Detention is dangerous! Nope! She doesn't want extra muscle training!
"Indeed. You were utterly defenceless when someone gets close to you. This means we will going to sure you can defend yourself when the enemy gets close to you."
Gu Yue slowly nodded when she heard that. It is true. Now that she doesn't have her spear she has no idea how to fight at close range!
"Do you have preferred means of combat at close?" He asked her curiously.
"...I have some…experience with a spear. Though I stopped using it when I got my first Spirit Ring." The Silver Dragon girl said that with thoughtful consideration. What she said was not a lie but same time it wasn't specifically the truth either.
"I see… well Na'er could give you some tips on the spear and hand-to-hand combat."
Hearing that Gu Yue's eyes gleamed with unique light. What an opportunity this is!!!
"I would be grateful." She said that with a bright smile.
The moment Xue Long walked away the Blackish purple-haired girl's mouth formed into a smirk!
'I will gladly accept this offer! It is time to learn all of your secrets! For these humiliations, I will get back at you!' The girl thought about that as she saw the maid walking over.
"Follow me, I will help you with some basics."
~~~
Gu Yue looked at dazed Na'er who had spacey look for a second. She just unlocked her other half's memories.
However…
*SMACK*
A backhand slap hit right on Silver Dragon Girl's cheek. The very same cheek where the other maid kicked her!
"You… you are a threat to my Prince," Na'er said with a chilly tone as she summoned her spear and pointed at Gu Yue.
The Blackish purple-haired girl's eyes widened. What is happening!?
"W-What are you saying!? WE ARE Silver Dragon King!" The girl exclaimed at the maid! How this is happening!?
"Exactly because of this I will need to deal with you. Maybe I neutralise and cripple you and then bring you before my Prince. Only then I will have enough face to show myself before him."
Gu Yue's disbelief continued to increase to a massive degree! What kind of training did Na'er go through to be such fanatical towards Golden Dragon King?
"W-Wait for a second! I am YOU! You suppose to be on my side! Once we merge and become Gu Yuena we are destined to become the next Dragon God!"
*Snort*
"You created me in hopes that I will see the dark side of humanity and be treated like a tool by Golden Dragon King. Instead, I was given a roof above my head. I was trained to be strong! You think I will betray my Prince!? I don't care about Dragon God's position! With my Prince's talent and abilities, you will never going to surpass him!" As she said that she appeared in front of Gu Yue and grabbed her by the neck. Pulling her closer to herself.
"In fact. I am twice as strong as you are now!"
Gu Yue's eyes narrowed this is a very, very bad situation for her!
Part of her is rebelling against her! She severely miscalculated what Golden Dragon King can do!
'I have no choice. I am going to need to manipulate her then!'
That moment she felt extremely ugly inside of her but there is no other choice!
"Listen… if you deal with… me… now… I will never…will be able to… reach my full potential… which your Prince wants…me to reach!" As she said that while being choked by Na'er thankfully the maid wasn't using her full force!
Na'er had thoughtful look before snorting with a smirk.
"You are right. It is stupid of me to believe that you are a threat to him! For not having confidence in his abilities I should be punished!" The Na'er pushed Gu Yue away as she released the hold over her neck.
Gu Yue coughed for a second while holding her neck.
'How physically strong is she? It was Golden King who inherited pure strength…'
"...What is it you going to do now?"
"I am giving you five years. After five years my use for my Prince will reach my peak. At that time we will fight. The winner will have full control of Gu Yuena."
The Silver Dragon girl for second had thoughtful look, five years? Peak use? What is she talking about?
Though, Gu Yue didn't bother. She has five years! Before their battle. Not that it matters as she will be in control regardless…
"Very well. I agree."
"Good until then train, train as much as you can. And maybe you will narrow that gap."
Na'er then remembered that she suppose to teach this so-called enemy of her Prince spearmanship…
"I suppose we should start with spearmanship." The silver head said as she walked over and picked two training spears.
Gu Yue was feeling quite ugly at this moment. Being trained by herself… to face herself in future and then use the same methods to face her other half which is most likely will be even more powerful!
Today is not her day at all! Not just today! Her luck is very bad the moment she appeared in the human city…
