"Ah? Alright then."
Fleivers was still a bit bewildered.
Everything was different from what he had imagined.
And days later, when he was taken back to the village by Deep Dark, including a trip to Silver Wing Castle, all of this made him feel out of place.
The once kindly and amiable Village Elder, the fierce yet gentle Aunt Sophia, the little Coco with a runny nose... their gazes upon him had all changed!
Fear, reverence, alienation...
And the news that the Silver Wing King had been beaten reached him as well.
Countless challengers lined up outside Silver Wing Castle, waiting to challenge Deep Dark, as well as Deep Dark's disciple, Fleivers.
Just three days were enough to frighten Fleivers.
Three days later, he also t that young noble from the previous contest, a peer nad Villie.
...
The two youths sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was tinged with awkwardness.
Yet "Guangzi" and "Deep Dark," the two were brimming with battle spirit.
"Guangzi, you're quite subtle with this youngster!" Deep Dark's voice was full of arrogance.
"Deep Dark, Fleivers seems as sharp as you." Guangzi's voice was slightly deep.
"Sharp? Is that bad? Hahaha! Should I be hiding it like you?"
"Hiding skill, hiding sharpness, sotis that's more fitting than reckless advance."
"Tch, want to go out for a fight?"
"Sure."
And with that, the two soared into the air, and soon they were fighting.
Leaving Fleivers and Villie there, awkwardly staring at each other.
"Well... is your hand better now?" Fleivers opened the conversation.
Villie nodded: "It's already been healed by Teacher Guangzi."
After saying this, both fell silent.
A while later, Villie spoke again: "How about... we have a match?"
"Yeah, yeah, let's have a match." Fleivers nodded vigorously.
The two stood up in a flash, eyes locked.
In the next instant, Villie curled his fingers, reaching for Fleivers's chest.
Fleivers's body softened, his hands entwined.
Yet as soon as they crossed swords, both sensed changes in each other.
In Fleivers's eyes, Villie, who used to be sowhat hesitant, had beco extraordinarily fierce, not fearing the hand swung toward his head at all.
Exchange harm for harm?!
Fleivers was startled, instinctively wanting to clash, but then he rembered the events of the past few days.
At tis, reckless advance is a sign of imprudence!
Thinking of this, Fleivers's arms beca softer, as if boneless, and then his body slightly reclined, dodging Villie's attack.
Having his strike evaded, Villie was also taken aback.
In his impression, Fleivers from a few days ago didn't have this kind of "retreat in face of difficulty" wisdom.
Thus, every offensive and every defensive move made by both amazed each other.
Your opponent has grown!
And shortly after the two started fighting, "Guangzi" and Deep Dark descended from the sky.
"Hmph! Barbaric." Lin Ke snorted coldly, glancing at Fleivers: "Too soft, not of great use."
"Hey!" Deep Dark teased: "Your guy is overly rigid, you told that yourself! Pah!"
"You, too reckless, while my disciple is courageously advancing!"
"Courage, my foot! My disciple is full of wisdom, with precise moves, much better than you who speak so pompously!"
"Barbaric!"
"Weak!"
They glared at each other, eyes blazing with thick battle spirit.
And Fleivers and Villie exchanged a look, eyes filled with helplessness.
They suddenly felt that the sense of destined duel between them had faded significantly.
Why?
The contrast was too stark!
Did they have deep-seated hatred towards each other?
No!
At most, it was because they had fought a few matches, regarding each other as competitors.
But Guangzi and Deep Dark?
According to their teachers, the two had built up many grievances against each other.
Though accepted as disciples by the sa teacher, conflicts had escalated to an irreconcilable level, involving family, friendship, love, teacher-student relations, brotherhood, etc.
Anyway, it was very complicated.
This made Villie and Fleivers feel that their only current opposition was that Ring of Destiny.
Unfortunately, now they each had Guangzi and Deep Dark as teachers, although there's a need for the Ring of Destiny, the desire wasn't that strong.
But unbeknownst to them, as soon as they had this thought, the legendary [Astrologer] Derbius peeked into another ripple of fate.
Originally Villie and Fleivers were destined to be neses, both enemies and friends.
But now with Lin Ke's interference, they soon felt it was tedious.
So boring, really boring.
They read the sa thought in each other's eyes, hence started reflecting.
And at this mont, Guangzi and Deep Dark, sure enough, started sparring again.
Seeing the two sparring once more, Fleivers leaned closer and whispered: "I think our teachers are fighting way too much..."
Villie took a deep breath and nodded forcefully.
"I don't want to beco like them..." Fleivers sighed: "That's so tiring..."
How tiring!
Constantly opposing, endlessly finding troubles.
Such opposition was particularly aningless!
Whether it's Villie or Fleivers, they were more inclined to choose the path of reaching the summit rather than any other path.
"Then let's work to change our teachers..." Villie said, eyes burning brightly: "They should have been the best of brothers, but due to misunderstandings have beco foes, as disciples, we should help the teachers restore brotherhood..."
"Right, right..."
"Let's do it this way..."
"Sure, sure..."
The two eagerly discussed, but missed the smiles at the corners of Guangzi and Deep Dark's mouths in the sky.
...
Having fought a match with himself, Lin Ke eventually returned with his avatar, taking Fleivers and Villie back to their respective places.
The harvest was trendous this ti!
According to Derbius, the fates of Fleivers and Villie had been completely altered.
Along with a slight butterfly effect, so related people, events, things had all changed.
anwhile, Derbius, wielding his legendary powers, activated the skill of prophecy, telling Lin Ke...
The best opportunity to observe destiny is in three years!
That is when Lin Ke, under the na of Duke of Lava, leaves behind the Destiny Ring and promises to take on disciples!
At that ti, Fleivers and Villie will usher in their destined battle.
In that battle, the winner will possess the Destiny Ring and beco the publicly acknowledged second disciple of Duke of Lava in the All Heavens Star Realm.
Who is the first disciple?
René Descartes!
Therefore, no matter who becos Lin Ke's second disciple, it's bound to be a major event for Naseng and Kaos!
And that's the ti when Lin Ke truly peers into destiny.
