14 Chapter 13: Wang Yang Again

(AN: FINALLY DONE WITH EXAMS!!!)

Ulquiorra went back to the sect along with Nian Zhan. At this point, it was already late in the afternoon nearing dinner time. Nian Zhan let Ulquiorra go back to their quarters for now while Nian Zhen has to report to the Patriarch about what just happened.

When Ulquiorra opened the front door, he was greeted by a wooden sword strike coming down at him. Ulquiorra leasurely dodged to the side. Missing her strike and hitting air, Jiayi awkwardly tried to strike again only to have Ulquiorra catch her sword strike.

"What's the meaning of this, Nian Jiayi?" Ulquiorra asked.

"I just wanted to say hello and welcome back!" Jiayi said with a wide grin.

"Your way of greetings is quite peculiar. Fine, I'll reciprocate." Ulquiorra replied.

"What do y-" Jiayi said before she felt a force swipe at her feet causing her to fall sideways.

*THUD*

"ACK!" Jiayi shouted in pain.

Jiayi laid on the floor. She didn't fall too hard as Ulquiorra didn't use too much force when he swiped at her with his feet. He used just enough force to cause her to fall. Still, that didn't stop Jiayi from forming tears in her eyes not from pain, but from embarrassment.

"ULQUIORRA, YOU MEANIE! HUEEE!" Jiayi cried.

"Oh, what seems to be the problem here?" A voice rang out.

Ulquiorra and Jiayi looked at the source of the voice behind Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra already noticed him with his Pesquisa. Jiayi didn't have any sort of sensory technique so she was surprised to see him here.

As if she wasn't crying just a moment ago, she lept up, and ran towards Wang Yang. Wang Yang caught Jiayi who rushed to hug him. He ruffled Jiayi's hair as he laughed.

"Hiiii, senior brother Wang Yang! I thought that it would take awhile for me to see you again!" Jiayi said happily.

"That was the plan at first, but then, I decided that I should just stay here. I find it best for my mind if I were to cultivate here where everybody is. Also, what happened, Ulquiorra? How are you suddenly at the first stage of Qi condensation?" Wang Yang said.

"First stage of Qi Condensation?" Jiayi said before looking at Ulquiorra again. She didn't notice it at first, but now she did. Her mouth turned into an o-shape.

"YOU'RE AT QI CONDENSATION REALM?!" Jiayi shouted in shock.

Ulquiorra looked at Jiayi and nodded.

"But, how?! You weren't even at the peak of body tempering awhile ago! How is that possible? Have I cultivated for nothing?" Jiayi said in disbelief.

"Now, don't be like that, Jiayi. I just reckon Ulquiorra has some....special circumstances. In any case, get ready, we'll be having dinner soon. I'll cook some really good food for everyone here." Wang Yang said.

"Yey!Senior brother's cooking!" Jiayi cheered.

Eating? Ulquiorra remembered that he was indeed a human now. He needed sustenance. During his time as a hollow, he did not need any sort food like the way humans did. He would not die of hunger if he did not eat. In fact, he used to roam Hueco Mundo alone with nothing to feed himself. To think that he would one day start to have the need to eat.

Wang Yang went to meet the rest of the disciples who were happy to see him so soon. Zhifeng, Zhou, and Jiayi asked to spar with Wang Yang before dinner. Wang Yang laughed before agreeing to spar with all three of them at the same time. The trio didn't complain as it seemed that this wasn't the first time it happened.

They all went to the small courtyard at the back of their building. Zhifeng, Zhou, and Jiayi faced Wang Yang with all three of them taking their stances. Wang Yang didn't take any sort of stance, but merely stood in place with his hands behind his back. He maintained his calm smile.

The first one to make a move was Jiayi. She dashed forward with Zhou right behind her. Jiayi strengthened her fist as she launched towards Wang Yang.

"Roaring Tiger Fist!!" Jiayi shouted out.

"Fierce Stone Kick!" Zhou also followed up with a leg technique.

(AN: Ain't gonna lie, but I'm just gonna think of random ass move names since that's usually how it is unless it's a really badass or relevant technique.)

The two launched attacks filled with qi. One was a fist filled with power and vigor while the other was a strong kick that had a sturdiness akin to a boulder. Sadly, that didn't faze Wang Yang as he easily neutralized both techniques.

Wang Yang diverted the fist's force to the side while he dodged the kick with one step. Suddenly, a knife hand thrust came from behind him. Wang Yang still smiled as he caught the hand.

"How sneaky, Zhifeng." Wang Yang commented.

"Well, it is a three versus one. Might as well try to make the most of it." Zhifeng smiled.

"True. Let's continue." Wang Yang said.

The three disciples continued to assault Wang Yang with attacks. Despite being young, they showed good coordination, with a few instances of Wang Yang's sleeves almost beeing scratched. Zhou and Jiayi went for pair attacks while Zhifeng either came with the other two or made surprise attacks. Sadly, none of that mattered to Wang Yang as he easily neutralized them all.

In the end, the trio were panting as they were tired. They really liked doing these types of spars though. It really helped their understanding of each other and also of themselves as they realized their weakpoints. Wang Yang still looked fresh as he was. Not even a speck of dirt on his robes and a not a drop of sweat on his face. He was still calmly smiling before looking at Ulquiorra.

"How about you? Do you want to spar?"
