Chapter 25
A week is a very short time. The kitten spends every day training except eating and sleeping. In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the competition.
Yan Xuanjin woke up very early that day. When he saw the kitten open its eyes, the first thing he asked was, "Are you nervous?"
"Hmm?" Kitty rubbed his eyes in bed and looked over blearily. Then he remembered that today was the day of his boxing match. "I'm not nervous."
Yan Xuanjin was a little surprised. He thought Xiaomao would be nervous since it was his first time playing in this kind of game - but now it seemed that he was the one who was nervous.
"You and Sister Hummingbird both said I was great and wouldn't lose a game like this." Ling Yun consciously leaned towards Yan Xuanjin, rolling around in his arms like a cat. "Could it be that you and Sister Hummingbird were lying to me?"
"No, of course you will win this game." Yan Xuanjin smiled and rubbed his soft white hair.
The morning sun shines through the window onto Lingyun's face, and his sparkling blue eyes seem to be filled with love words.
Yan Xuanjin was fascinated by these eyes. He lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to devoutly kiss the beautiful face created by God himself - then he suddenly stopped, met the cat's puzzled eyes, and his pounding heart suddenly sank again.
What am I doing…?
Yan Xuanjin's tightly clenched fists wrinkled the sheets. Feeling the reaction from beneath him, his expression turned particularly grim as he said, "Hurry up and wash up. I'll be out for a bit."
Ling Yun watched in a daze as Yan Xuanjin quickly rushed out of the dormitory. He touched his chest with his hand - strange, it was beating so fast today...
Walking into the bathroom, Ling Yun found that his cheeks were a little red. He stretched out his palm to feel the temperature of his forehead - well... he should not be sick.
…
After Yan Xuanjin finished his work and returned to the room, he saw Ling Yun waiting obediently by the bed as expected.
"Let's go, go eat, and then warm up early."
They both deliberately avoided each other's sight, so no one noticed the other's strangeness, but they just felt that the atmosphere along the way was a little quiet.
The two quickly finished breakfast, and Lingyun followed Yan Xuanjin to the training ground.
The hummingbird was also waiting there early, with her spirit form flying beside her.
"Are you here? Come on, I'll warm you up," Hummingbird said with a smile. "Today you're going to compete with the sentries and guides from Team Two. Are you nervous?"
Even though Yan Xuanjin had already asked this question, Ling Yun still answered obediently, "I'm not nervous."
"That's good."
The hummingbird brought Lingyun to the edge of the training ground, then released its guide element and suddenly attacked Lingyun.
Ling Yun reacted quickly and also released his own guiding element.
The confrontation between the two guides does not require too much physical contact, and the winner can be determined by using the guide element.
Yan Xuanjin stood not far away, carefully observing their battle.
Hummingbird and Lingyun stood still, with only a small, nimble spirit hovering around them. This wasn't fair to Lingyun; he had to split his attention to deal with two enemies, while the enemy only had to deal with him. But the real problem was Lingyun's overpowering Guidance Essence. If Hummingbird hadn't summoned her spirit to fight him, she wouldn't have lasted more than five minutes under Lingyun's Guidance Essence.
Nearly ten minutes passed, and Yan Xuanjin noticed that Hummingbird was not in a very good condition, so he walked over decisively and stopped the confrontation between the two.
"It's done." Yan Xuanjin approached Lingyun and felt only warmth all over his body, not any heat. Meanwhile, Fengniao looked exhausted and sweating profusely.
"Lingyun, you are really strong." Fengniao waited until Lingyun had completely recovered his guiding spirit before leaning over and praising him, "You are an extremely good guide. Believe me, you will not lose this competition."
"Yes!" Lingyun nodded, waved at the hummingbird and said, "Sister Hummingbird, I will go over with the master to prepare first."
"Okay, keep going."
Yan Xuanjin took Ling Yun to a locker room near the training ground, found a tights that matched his size, and asked him to put them on.
"What is this?" Ling Yun asked curiously.
"Shield vest, put on this and you won't feel pain when you're hit, but the data collection components on it will collect data. If the system determines that your accumulated pain has reached the level that would render you incapacitated, you'll be deemed a failure." Yan Xuanjin leaned over and ruffled his white hair. "Don't worry too much. I taught you combat skills, so there won't be any problems."
"I know, I believe you." Lingyun smiled.
Why do I feel like they are more nervous than me...
