Shen Yue Reborn - Chapter 12 The Family Tournament 34

When Shen Qi heard what Shen Yue had said her anger rose again as he has humiliated her even further in front of the crowd, yet again! ‘Damn you little bastard!’ Shen Qi clenched her fists as she walked away.

Shen Yue returned to his VIP waiting room, it was above, where he sat on his chair like a king and drank plum juice from a glass cup whilst having top view of the arena, wonderful bliss that commoners do not experience.

Few matches later…

Shen Yue now finished 20 matches, 20 wins and a score streak. During those matches he found no one not worthy as even some who used fancy magic, still got their ass kicked by him within half a minute and without breaking a sweat.

Only three people caught his interest during this whole tournament. 1 was obviously his brother Shen Fei who’s very presence made most participants quit their matches against him and those that dared to challenge him were knocked out in just mere seconds with just a single strike just like Shen Yue.

[Shen Fei’s match]

“Begin! shouted a referee

“Shen Fei you think I’m scared, just you wait you bas-” said a youth 11 years old, he had black hair and blue eyes, he was a member of Shen Family branch, and he was actually doing good, he just like Shen Yue had a good score streak even tough he looked less domineering that Shen Yue.

before he could finish, a fist covered in flames punched him on the nose and sent the little kid flying out of the arena like a speeding jet.

Boom!

The kid crashed and made a teeny tiny dent on the floor on the place he crashed. There was a slight burn on his broken bleeding nose but it wasn’t a serious one luckily otherwise he’d have to go to a miracle doctor which don’t exist and even if they did they’d cost millions which his family does not have.

“Don’t spout shit when you can’t back it up.” said Shen Fei as he was showing off to the Shen Family who were cheering for him, not because they wanted to but that they had to because he was the future patriarch.

[End of Shen Fei’s match]

2 was Shen San, he was a youth that was a year younger than Shen Fei he was 12, he had brownish red hair and green eyes. He was same generation as Shen Yue’s aunt Shen Xiu, who was also 12. Although his presence wasn’t domineering enough to make most kids quit, his strength was certainly better than these inexperienced weaklings , he’d simply punch his fist out and kids at even 4 star bronze would be sent flying just from his fist alone.

3 was obviously Shen Yue’s aunt, the new mascot of the family, the snake of glory city and the genius of sacred family. She obviously was ‘strong’ as she was one of the frequent villain that appeared during the first arc. She took out people within one to two hits with ease and very fast.

“Next! Shen Yue! Shen Kong! Can you both come on to the ring!” shouted the referee as their voice was loud that it resounded throughout the whole training ground.

Shen Yue went to the arena along with a youth that had brown hair and yellow eyes. That youth was Shen Kong and he was 9 years old, he was a 5 star bronze demon spiritualist. He was from the same branch that Shen Qi was from and was son of a elder that was of the lesser status.

They both bowed their heads before the referee gave the signal.

“Begin!”

As soon as that happened before Shen Yue could take a move, he saw Shen Kong do something so Shen Yue stopped waiting to see what Shen Kong had in store for him

Whhosh!

Wind released from Shen Kong like a shockwave, Shen Kong’s hair turned pitch black and more spikier. His arms grew furrier to his back palms as this was visible since he had a tank top robe so that he can display his ‘masterpiece’. Shen Kong’s pupils turned into slits like an animals. It looks like Shen Kong has merged with his demon spirit.

“haha! I have seen what you are capable of doing and I respect you Shen Yue! I am willing to show you my demon spirit, it’s a Gorilla Serpent, you will experience the power of my demon. Here I go!” roared Shen Kong as he dashed at Shen Yue with great speed.

Shen Yue felt like clashing with Shen Kong head on to test his strength against a person who has merged with their demon spirit without spirit force. But he suddenly had a premonition that if he doesn’t dodge right now then he’ll get hurt.

whoop!

Shen Kong punched his furry arm out few meters away from Shen Yue, his arm actually stretched like rubber, his arm looked like a furry flying pillar as it flew towards Shen Yue’s gut.

Shen Yue had a good reflex and managed to dodge it whilst back flipping like a ninja. But as he did that, another fist headed towards his face, fast just like before.

Shen Yue dodged again, this time he was thinking of a strategy to take this guy down, this guy’s fist had enough strength to take down an average one star silver fighter if all of his might is placed on one fist.

Shen Yue came up with an idea but he got delayed few seconds and another fist came crashing down, Shen Yue didn’t have enough time to get away so he reinforced himself with soul force and punched his fist towards the other fist.

Bang!

A collision between these two’s fists has cause a small dent to appear beneath both their feet. Shen Kong was moved a foot away whilst Shen Yue got sent a meter away whilst looking slightly injured. It is clear who had the strength advantage between the two of them.

But Shen Yue has already taught of a tactic to wreck this guy.

Whoop!

Shen Kong sent his fist flying towards Shen Yue glowing with yellowish spirit force. Shen Yue jumped him up in the air, before Shen Kong could react Shen Yue dived with his two knees heading for Shen Kong’s exposed arm.

Bang!

Shen Yue’s knees were coated with spirit force whilst Shen Kong’s wasn’t so when the two met, Shen Yue’s knees slammed Shen Kong’s forearm into the ground.

“OW!” cried Shen Kong painfully, he then sent his other arm towards Shen Yue who was still top of his other arm.

Shen Yue jumped up again but this time Shen Kong was prepared as when Shen Yue was diving down again, SHen Kong moved his arm away from Shen Yue’s reached and at the same time twisted his fist in another direction like a loop, kind of like luffy in gear four.

But as Shen Yue was about to land on the reaching fist midair he twisted slightly and managed to grab a hold of Shen Kong’s wrist. He used his wrist to swing on Shen Kong’s arm, as he swung he kicked Shen Kong’s forearm muscles and biceps.

Shen Yue intended to damage Shen Kong’s muscles so that he’s incapable of fighting this match. And just like he planned he he managed to just that as Shen Kong’s arm muscles were swollen and he had tears in his eyes.

“So cruel! wah…I hate you for that! I showed you respect and you didn’t show me respect!! You didn’t fight me like a man…!” cried Shen Kong.

“No my friend…a battle isn’t all about the muscle, it is also about the brains! I was using my brain against your brain! Fighting isn’t all about muscle vs muscle, sword vs sword. It is all about the battle of the brains, who is more smarter and clever will win.” explained Shen Yue.

“Fine! But don’t be so cruel next time, that was kind a mean of you.” said Shen Kong as he walked away and rubbing his injuries

“Eat a lot of healthy food and it will get better.” shouted Shen Yue as he threw a small bag filled with coins towards the back of Shen Kong who took it without saying a word.

Shen Yue returned to his waiting room to recover by eating food since pills were banned from being used. It was alright for Shen Yue as he could use his flame to convert the food into vital essence, qi, that he could then inject into his body and recover but food gives bearly any qi, 100 plates worth of food gives few sliver strands of qi that is enough to heal a small cut.

Few minutes later…

Right now the quarter finals are being announced and Shen Yue won a spot for it, people with a high score streak could win a spot in the quarter finals and he had just done that.

Shen Yue was against Shen San, the second strongest guy right off the bat.

“Good day to you young master.” smiled Shen San as Shen San bowed his head

“Good day to you too young master.” smiled Shen Yue as he too bowed back.

“Hey that’s my phrase, thief!” laughed Shen San.

“Begin!” shouted the referee.

Shen San dashed before flames appeared beneath his feet.

Zoom

He appeared in a blink of an eye next to Shen Yue as he punched out with a fist coated in flames, Shen Yue barely reacted as he coated his arms with soul force and blocked the punch. The two stopped moving and were trying to force one another to get knocked down, they were in a stand still.

Shen Yue had his arms in an X-shape whilst Shen San had hist left fist in the centre of the X-shape as it was blocked.

“What were those?” asked Shen Yue.

“The flames beneath my feet was a technique called Solar Step and the punch is Flame Strike. They are advanced techniques of the family that my grandfather managed to get me before he retired being a powerful elder.” explained Shen San.

Afterwards, Shen San then used his other fist to punch Shen Yue in the gut.

Uh! groaned Shen Yue.

Shen San was sending barrage of Flame Strikes with Shen Yue meeting those strokes with his fists, many bangs were heard and the force of those attacks were powerful enough to defeat 1 star silver demon spiritualists. Shen Yue air kicked Shen San in the gut, who then retreated and then ran up to Shen Yue with Solar Step and punched out with Flame Strike, more powerful than ever.

Shen Yue dodged the attack and he slide kicked Shen San in the shin. He rose up and then quickly round house kicked Shen San in the head before Shen San could react.

“I’ll show you my demon spirit and final attack, i’ll give you all I got so be prepared!” shouted Shen San as he was now being desperate.

Ethereal flame spikes grew on back of his forearms, his shoulders and back. His hair turned redder and he had a flaming aura.

“My demon spirit is, the sunny hedgehog, it’s a peak silver ranked demon. I can shoot flaming spikes so beeeeee careful, little guy!” said Shen San as he flicked his wrist and a fire spike was flying towards Shen Yue.

Shen Yue side flipped reflexively and agilely enough on time to dodge the spike.

Shen San proceeded to send dozens more and Shen Yue kept dodging like a maniac that he is.

“Spike Flare!” shouted Shen San as fire gathered around his body, he was desperate to finish this match quickly as there was only twenty seconds left.

Nearby, the elders could see what’s happening. They look towards one elder in the back who is Shen San’s father.

“Why didn’t you tell us he’d be using such ability, we could’ve set up a barrier earlier!” Said an elder before he went close to the ring and conjured a massive see through dome made of blue light and then he disappeared.

Shen Yue’s hurting guts gave him a bad premonition, it looked like an area of effect attack, maybe a storm of fire spikes was about to hit him is what Shen Yue guessed.

Shen Yue went to the edge of the ring, he reinforced his fingers with soul force and dug deep down into the floor until his fingers were fully buried. He placed his soles on the edges of the square ring and made his body tilted so that he uses the ring as the cover, to protect him from the attack.

Boom!

Shen San sent a storm of fire spikes just like Shen Yue predicted. They turned most of the arena into a hell-like place as the fire on the floor still burned though the marble tiles didn’t burn.

Shen San who was concentrating on casting his ability lost track of Shen Yue and couldn’t find him until…

Bang!

Shen Yue sneakily headbutted Shen San of the arena before he could notice him.

“The winner of this match is… Shen Yue!” said the referee.
