Hidden genius: Black belly snake

Chapter 220: A heated battle in the middle of the night Part2

After the beast contract was completed, Little Blue sleepily walked back into the small cave.

Both Charlotte's and Xander's eyes trailed the little guy but they didn't notice anything different.

The wolf cub had quietly wandered back in and was resting, curled up, with its eyes closed.

Tang Yue stayed back. 

She already received the notification that the beast contract was successful. 

So she didn't worry about it too much even though she didn't notice any change in the little furball.

Now that the first task was complete, she immediately moved on to the next task.

She mentally opened the sword technique package and felt a rush of new information into her brain.

The "Heaven's Path arcane sword art" is a technique that combined both movement and sword combat tactics.

Tang Yue knew that it was impossible for her to comprehend the whole technique in its entirety so she didn't pressure herself too much and tried casually practicing a few moves.

She took out her soul sword and without restraint waved it in the air, cutting down and slashing the air currents flowing past her.

Because of her rather sizable experience that she had accumulated back in the labyrinth fighting against the undead monsters, herd after herd, without any breaks, her form, and movements were now much more fluid and confident.

Tang Yue only practiced the basic sword techniques of Heaven's path but that in itself was sufficient for her to feel the strength and power of her attacks.

Of course, the other two silent spectators as well were easily able to notice the strength and profoundness of the sword technique.

Both Charlotte and Xander were completely flabbergasted. 

They had absolutely no clue as to how a nobody like Tang Yue came into possession of such an unfathomable sword technique.

Even though she hadn't even mastered a fraction of the technique someone like Xander was easily able to see through its real power.

And Charlotte was a born genius. It was not that difficult for her to follow the movements of the sword aura. 

The duo wordlessly continued watching the woman in front of them with a million questions in their brains.

And not so surprisingly, both of them felt a little special in their hearts that Tang Yue had trusted them enough to display this profound technique in front of them.

A big warm smile surfaced on the two cheerleaders' faces and they silently watched the show.

And Tang Yue sincerely continued practicing the sword techniques well into the dark of the night.

Only the sound of her sword slashing at the wind and the distant rustling of the leaves floated in the air around them.

But suddenly, a flurry of footsteps sounded near them, accompanied by low growling noises.

Tang Yue, Charlotte, and the little kid, three became instantly alert, but they soon relaxed almost immediately afterward.

"Just a bunch of bristle wolves." Tang Yue looked at Charlotte and waved her hand.

Charlotte as well had sensed the same thing and relaxed her stiffened shoulders.

It wouldn't take more than a few seconds for either of them to take care of something like this.

Tang Yue was just about to deal with the bunch of unlucky bastards when the little furball who had been quietly resting until now, walked over and stood next to her.

It eagerly looked up at her and yelped in excitement.

"Huh? You want to fight with these guys?" Tang Yue unsurely asked the cub. 

She was only trying to guess the little guy's intentions and couldn't believe that a small cute furball like him could do any real damage to the full-grown wolves in front of them.

And that too there were about a total of six big adult bristle wolves!

They were most probably attracted to the campsite because of the delicious meat aroma and the light from the crackling fire warming up the cave.

Little Blue, however, didn't look very scared and continued growling and barking at the beasts in front of the cave.

Tang Yue chuckled at the little guy's stubbornness and signaled for him to do as he pleased.

This behavior was very new for the usually cute and adorable little blue. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because of the beast contract.

Even though it was dangerous to the little guy, she decided to allow him to do as he pleased.

After all, she could intervene at any moment and prevent anything ridiculous from happening.

The small wolf happily yelped seeing that it got the approval of its master and quickly lunged at the bristle wolf nearest to Tang Yue.

Typically, common-grade beasts wouldn't even dare to attack the weakest of the cultivators, but currently, Xander had masked their auras from behind the scenes, and hence these poor beasts had no idea whom they were dealing with.

The wolves menacingly growled and the one at which little blue had lunged toward, casually swiped its paw swatting the little guy away.

This simple attack sent the little guy tumbling backward and Tang Yue was immediately alarmed. 

She stepped forward to finish the damned beast who dared to hurt little blue, but to her surprise, the little guy had already sprung back to his feet.

The small wolf cub dashed towards the beast and this time it didn't hold back.

It directly aimed for the bristle wolf's throat and leaped onto the big brown animal.

The bristle wolf unfortunately couldn't even react in time. 

Little Blue's superior agility and reflexes caught it completely off guard and the wolf was knocked down, blood spurting out of its throat.

Little Blue looked extremely frightening with its blue eyes glaring furiously at the rest of the pack and blood dripping from its small mouth.

Tang Yue could feel its excitement in her soul. The connection between them was now exceedingly clear.

She was also very impressed with the little guy. 

He didn't get scared because of the size difference or the strength difference and took advantage of his plus point.

The little guy took the most efficient line of attack and had quickly finished off the beast, without any hesitation.

This was indeed applaudable.
