Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 153: Your beast is running wild again, bro! Part2

"Hello? Brother? I am ready!" Tang Yue waved her hand in impatience signaling her opponent to start the fight.

Even with her especially thick skin, she started feeling slightly uncomfortable. 

The elf standing frozen in front of her had been speechlessly staring at her for a while now.

The crowd surrounding them was also looking at her with a very similar expression on their faces!

"Hmm Did I overdo it? This is nothing against the rules! Did they really have to be this surprised??" She pondered.

"Oh wait, maybe I have something on my teeth?"

She leisurely lifted her rare-grade sword shining in the sunlight with a blinding splendor and shamelessly checked her appearance in its reflection.

Kojo's face twitched. Relmar grimaced. Everyone in the crowd wanted to vomit out blood.

It was not as if this was something new. Even in the past, in other competitions previously held, they always had one or two couple of these rich arrogant young masters who solely relied on their wealth and social backing to strong-arm the results.

But this was the first time someone had taken it to such an extent and even daringly done so in a contest organized by the Crown Prince Xander himself!

Several people in the crowd started loudly sneering and booing. 

The thing that they could not bear to stand was the fact that Tang Yue had a very solemn and serious expression on her face.

There wasn't a single ounce of embarrassment or awkwardness in her behavior at all. It was as if she was just doing what was expected of her.

She looked raring and ready to go into a battle and fight till death. It made everyone want to bang their heads against a wall.

Finally, one of the consorts couldn't take it any longer and loudly yelled.

"Tang Yue, aren't you ashamed to act in this manner? You are ruining the reputation of highness!"

"Don't you even know how to behave in public??? What is the meaning of this?"

The beautiful elf who had shouted in anger was literally trembling. She looked absolutely furious.

In reality, she couldn't care less about what the shameless bitch was doing in this contest.

The thing that stabbed her the most was something else entirely.

Everyone knew that the spirit beasts were very poor and weak. They heavily relied on others for all their resources.

So where did Tang Yue get all this money from?

That too she was draped from top to bottom in fucking rare grade and high-grade pieces of equipment.

They must have surely cost a fortune!

The news about Tang Yue's special stunt at the auction was also buried by the royal family. So no one knew about that.

This being the case, wasn't the question of where she got her backing very obvious?

Who else could be bankrolling the shameless snake except for her new master, the Crown Prince himself??!!

The man who did not even cast a single glance at her had showered this snake with gifts after gifts.

It was this realization that had made the beautiful elf boil with fury!

In fact, almost everyone else had also deduced the same thing from this series of events and they all were equally shocked.

On one hand, they wanted to curse the snake endlessly, but on the other hand, they were worried to offend the Crown's personal disciple, who he clearly favored tremendously.

So they all could only bite their tongue and silently watch the show.

The royal consorts might speak out loud but the commoners and the others gathered couldn't dare to participate in this.

Tang Yue snorted. She was getting tired of waiting. "Am I doing something against the rules? Why are you all making such a fuss?"

She looked at Kojo, and lifted her resplendent sword, pointing it directly at him.

"Are you fighting or not? Don't waste my time."

Kojo took a deep breath. She might be a Princess but he was not going to go easy on her.

If he didn't grab this chance to go into the labyrinth and seek the treasures, he would forever only be a lackey to someone else.

"Kuha!" He yelled loudly and started dashing towards the snake in front of him.

She might have a wall of defense, but in front of his Emperor Realm physical strength, there was no way that was going to hold on for long.

"Kojo" "Kojo" "Kojo"

Everyone, including the royal consorts, started chanting his name fervently.

It was as if the man was standing up and fighting against the evil itself, albeit in a snake form! 

No one could brave themselves to openly curse at Tang Yue so they openly cheered for the opponent instead and vented their anger and jealously.

And in the midst of this intense cheering, Kojo's fighting spirit burned brightly and furiously. 

He felt a surge of power welling inside him, as he kicked his feet and used all the strength he could muster to repeatedly hack and slash at the woman or rather the metallic ball.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

Loud ear-piercing noises echoed from the stage. 

The elf was frantically slashing at Tang Yue from all directions. He had an extremely impressive overall agility and power.

Every single attack and slash was very proficiently placed and aimed at Tang Yue's potential weak points.

But unfortunately for him, all of his attacks might as well have been aimed at thin air.

The shameless snake was absolutely unshakable. 

In fact, kojo was pretty sure that some of his attacks were not even landing on her person or rather the outer metal layer.

It was very obvious that she was using some sort of mana boundary defense artifact, which covered her with a thick layer of impregnable shield.

"Hmph! I will see how long can all of these shenanigans last!" He snorted loudly and stomped his feet in anger.

"Heh." Tang Yue smirked. "Should I start now?" Her grin widened as the snake slowly moved into an offensive pose.

After all, she had come here to fight and gain combat experience. There was no point in standing idle!
