Chapter 13 Behemoth Beast (Part 1)_1

Ye Yinzhu had already closed his eyes when Ming Xue began to devour the Dark Demon Curse, and at this moment, a faint smile spread across his lips as the Douqi and Magic Power he had previously gathered slowly dissipated. However, due to the recent preparation for a full-force attack, he still suffered a degree of Elemental Backlash, causing him to spew out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"What, what have you done to Ming Xue?" Yue Ming stared at Ye Yinzhu beside Ming Xue with a somewhat panicked gaze.

Slowly opening his eyes, Ye Yinzhu's pupils were still clear and devoid of fatigue from the Elemental Backlash. With a slight smile, he said, "I haven't done anything. All I can say is that our music can affect you, and it can also influence Magical Beasts. Any being with a spirit can be touched by the emotions in the music. You should pay more attention to your Magical Beast. She doesn't seem happy following you. If you can't make her follow you wholeheartedly, then she will never become your best partner."

Yue Ming looked at Ye Yinzhu, lost in thought, and suddenly, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She shouted, "Ming Xue, attack him." She believed that if it weren't for Ming Xue's defection in the midst of battle, the Dark Demon Sect would have already secured a victory. At the same time, she refused to believe that her own Magical Beast would disregard her commands.

Ming Xue floated there, glancing at Ye Yinzhu by her side and then at Yue Ming. In a very human-like gesture, she lowered her head and shook it at Yue Ming.

"You, you won't attack him?" Yue Ming was completely stunned this time, her pretty face devoid of all color.

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly at Ming Xue beside him and said, "Go back."

Ming Xue looked at Ye Yinzhu and, with great respect, bowed to him. Two awkward words came out of Ming Xue's mouth, "Thank...you..." With a turn of her delicate body, enveloped by dark blue hair, Ming Xue transformed into dark blue specks of light and vanished without a trace.

Yue Ming's gaze towards Ye Yinzhu became incredibly complex. Her Magical Beast not only disobeyed her but followed the commands of her opponent. At this moment, all she felt was icy coldness inside, with nothing left but endless resentment towards Ye Yinzhu. Ming Xue was a powerful Magical Beast that her grandfather had found for her with great difficulty and immense effort. Once Ming Xue grew to be above the seventh rank, combined with her own advancement in Magic rank, she would have become a formidable force capable of contending with a Dragon Knight. Yet, all those wonderful prospects seemed to have been ruined by the male student from the Divine Music Department before her eyes.

"Miss Yue Ming, my mother once told me to respect girls, so I would rather not attack any further. Please concede," Ye Yinzhu said with a hint of helplessness as he looked at Yue Ming, actually not entirely sure why Ming Xue had reacted that way. However, his keen sense of aura clearly sensed Yue Ming's deep animosity towards him.

Ye Yinzhu's well-meant words felt irritatingly piercing to Yue Ming. The excessive expenditure of spiritual power coupled with the shock to her psyche made it impossible for her to hold on any longer. Everything went black as she fainted on the platform.

The Fourth Training Ground fell silent, with nearly eight thousand spectators making no sound for a full minute.

"Divine Music Department wins," the judge finally came to his senses, and the fluctuating battle had at last come to an end. It was an unthinkable victory for the Divine Music Department, which had never been favored, defeating the Dark Demon Sect, which boasted five Yellow-rank Mages, with a team composed of one Orange-rank and four Red-rank Mages. To everyone, this victory was inconceivable. Even the Director of Divine Music Department, Nina, had not harbored any illusions of victory upon seeing the arrival of Snow Spirit You Ming, yet victory had come so swiftly.

As Ye Yinzhu left the training ground, all eyes on him seemed a bit peculiar. The students of the Milan Magic Martial Academy were all elites, and it was clear to them that the key to this victory rested on this first male student of the Divine Music Department, who had been likened to a patch of green among a sea of flowers. That Magical Music Blade, which blocked the instant magic of the Dark Demon Sect, had also made its first formal appearance on the stage of Ryuzakinus Continent's history.

Dean Fergerson looked deeply at Ye Yinzhu in the distance, but without saying more, he turned and left. The Dark Demon Sect's teachers somberly went to attend to the players who had been influenced by the Divine Music Department's melody. In stark contrast to their mood was Nina, who was so excited that she could barely contain herself. For so many years, the Divine Music Department had held the title of the Number One System of the Milan Magic Martial Academy but had been overlooked by everyone, and now, at last, it had become the focus of the academy.

If the Divine Music Department's victory over the Water Attribute in the first round could still be attributed to the use of magical products and a measure of luck, then the battle against the Dark Demon Sect was a real clash of strength. At this point, no one doubted the power of the Divine Music Department anymore.

"Divine Music Department... victory... Divine Music Department... victory..." Cheers rose and fell in waves, especially from the eight beautiful girls of the first year of the Divine Music Department, who shouted excitedly.

Ye Yinzhu had squeezed out from the cheering crowd with great difficulty, protecting the four girls and the other first-year beauties of the Divine Music Department, and returned to the Divine Music Department's academic building.

"Yinzhu, you are really amazing. How did you do that just now? What was that attack that looked like Wind Blade?" Xueling asked excitedly, her beautiful large eyes sparkling with bright stars.

Though Ye Yinzhu was innocent, he knew he couldn't casually reveal the secret of the Sound Blade. Just as he was wondering how to reply, Nina appeared. "Ye Yinzhu, come with me." Nina's expression seemed very calm, but the brightness in her eyes betrayed her excited emotions.

"Oh." After a response, he followed Nina out of the classroom.

As the Director of the Divine Music Department, Nina had her own private office. This massive, luxurious office was almost comparable to a classroom in size, elegantly decorated with various magical products on the walls. Nina pointed to the sofa in front of her desk and said, "Sit down."

This was Ye Yinzhu's first time here, he couldn't help but look around curiously. The genuine leather sofa was soft and comfortable, and the fatigue from the competition seemed to be gradually taken away by the comfort.

"Granny Nina, did you want to see me about something?" Ye Yinzhu ventured to ask.

After Nina pondered for a while, she suddenly lifted her head and stared intently into Ye Yinzhu's eyes, "Tell me, the Sound Blade you released just now, was it a combination of Douqi and Magic?"

"Err..." Ye Yinzhu hesitated, then slowly nodded and said, "Yes." Zi was right, his Sound Blade would eventually appear on the Continent. Although the secret behind it could not be known by others, there was no need to hide this special method of attack so deeply.

Nina stood up somewhat excitedly, but soon she sat back down somewhat discouragedly and sighed, "Yinzhu, in that case, you are practicing both magic and martial arts."

"Sort of." Ye Yinzhu scratched his head, actually, even he himself didn't know whether his practice could be considered magic and martial dual cultivation.

Nina frowned slightly, "Has Qin Shang gone mad? Does he want to ruin you?"

"Ah? Granny Nina, why do you say that?" Ye Yinzhu looked at her in surprise.

Nina said irritably, "How can lowly martial skills compare to our noble Magic, especially the most noble Divine Music Master? You have mixed martial skills into your music, which indeed alleviates the slow effect display of a Divine Music Master, but it also makes your music impure. Doing so will not benefit your future progress. Doesn't Qin Shang know this?"

Ye Yinzhu was somewhat bewildered, "I don't know, from a young age Grandpa Qin has been teaching me to cultivate this way, and it seems to be fine."
