--- Chapter 39 --- ​​

"We only played for a bit, right?" Yunlong smiled while calmly observing the elders' expression.

'Young master is already at level 29, so this fight is not even challenging for him.' Ghost Douoluo thought while staring at the fainted Huo Shun behind Yunlong.

'Well, he's not even using his martial soul because he only attacked Huo Shun with pure physical ability.' He inwardly added before quietly turning his gaze at Yunlong.

"Elder Qian Jun, are you not going to take your disciple?" Yunlong suddenly asked while looking at Huo Shun's teacher, who is staring at him with a calm gaze.

Qian Jun has an ashen face with a tattoo of a crown over and below his left eye. He has black hair that falls below his shoulders, with the hair on the left side of his head shaved off.

"I will, young master." Qian Jun said while entering the arena and took Huo Shun on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry for my disciple behavior..." He politely said while bowing his body, "And, thank you for not giving Huo Shun severe punishment."

"Punishment? What are you talking about?" Yunlong responded with an innocent expression on his face, making the corner of Qian Jun's mouth twitched.

"I... We only played for a bit, no?" He added while smiling at him.

'Demon!' Qian Jun whispered in his heart while staring at Yunlong's smile.

"Haha... Right," Qian Jun responded with a small laugh.

"Well, young master, I will take my disciple with me," He added with fainted Huo Shun on his shoulder before walking out of the arena.

'What a fake smile.' Yunlong thought while staring at Qian Jun's back.

"So, who's next?" Yunlong asked while staring at the three children, who are staring at him with wariness.

"You can fight me together, you know." He suddenly stated, which makes the twins stare at each other before nodding their heads simultaneously.

"We will fight you." The twins synchronically said while entering the arena.

"Sure," Yunlong replied while leisurely walking at the twins.

"You are not fighting with them?" He asked Yu Long's disciple, who is shaking her head.

"I don't want an extra burden." Yu Ning'er calmly replied while staring at the twins with a relaxed expression.

"Is that so?" Yunlong is shrugging off his shoulder while turning his gaze back at the twins.

Xiao Ying and Xiao Li raised their hands to the air. Two books with brownish leather cover hovering above their palms, which released a dim white light before two yellow spirit rings appear and floating around their bodies.

"Are you ready," Xiao Ying asked her brother, who is smiling at her before nodding his head.

"Young master, we are ready." She said while giving Yunlong a sharp gaze.

"Come, show me your ability," Yunlong responded while taking a black wooden sword out of his spatial ring.

Xiao Ying is releasing a slight breath from her mouth as she dashed forward to Yunlong.

"Spiritual Eye." Xiao Ying muttered while her eyes shone with white hue and her spiritual book glowing with a dashing golden light.

'I see... Xiao Ying had a mental skill.' Yunlong thought while shaking his head before using his Sharingan.

Yunlong suddenly feels spiritual energy tried to enter his mind. Still, it immediately got dispelled by him while he stops moving his body.

"Success, young master maybe had a powerful physical ability, but spiritual energy should work on him." Xiao Ying is letting out a smile before giving her brother a signal.

"Spiritual Shackle." Xiao Li nodded his head at his sister while activating his spirit skill, which creates a transparent shackle to restrained Yunlong's body.

"Looks like our spirit skills are working against him." Xiao Li said while walking toward his sister.

"Mm, but don't lower your guard." Xiao Ying responded while shifting her gaze at Yunlong.

"Working? It's not, though." Yunlong's voice suddenly echoed in Xiao Ying's head.

Yunlong, who is quiet just now, is suddenly turning into a bunch of black crows.

"What!" Xiao Ying panicked and tried to search Yunlong's presence around the area but found nothing.

"Uugh... What happens." She suddenly feels her body got restrained by something and found that a white translucent shackle binds her body, which is her brother's skill.

"Sister, what happens to you!" Xiao Li shouted in confusion while looking at Xiao Ying, who quietly stood in front of Yunlong and didn't respond to his shouts.

"It's useless. Your sister is not going to answer you." Yunlong said while walking toward Xiao Li.

"She's in my illusion." He added, which makes Xiao Li's eyes widened in shock.

"D-Don't tell me. You also use spiritual energy." Xiao Li said with disbelief because doesn't that mean their ability just useless against him.

"Yep, pretty much," Yunlong replied while appearing in front of him.

As Xiao Li panicked, he instantly drew a hidden dagger out of his clothes, which Yunlong deflected with his wooden sword.

Clank!

'How can a wooden sword be that tough!' Xiao Li thought as he took a few steps back and looked at Yunlong's wooden sword.

Xiao Li raised his gaze at Yunlong, who is calmly gazing at him with his Sharingan.

"Hmm, my body?" Xiao Li stared at the Sharingan and suddenly couldn't move his body.

"That's easy," Yunlong said while staring at Xiao Li, who stops moving like his sister.

In the illusion, Xiao Ying and Xiao Li are standing beside each other with a pale complexion.

"Hehehe..." A burst of deep laughter suddenly echoed in their head.

"Step right up! Step right up! Have you got change? Come float! You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll cheer, you'll die."

"Who are you?!" Xiao Ying calmly said while looking at the weird man in front of her.

The man is a clown. He had a white face and bald head with red hair on either side, and he also wore a baggy silk suit of silver with orange pompoms and a collar ruff.

"Me?" The clown pointed at himself, who had a red clown smile on his face.

"Hehehe... Me?" He once again laughed while making the smile on his face wider.

"I'm every nightmare you've ever had. I'm your worst dream come true. I'm everything you ever were afraid of."

"Introducing Pennywise the Dancing Clown!"

As his voice echoed, the world suddenly turned dark.

"Hehehe... Let's have fun?!" Pennywise laughter echoed in the darkness.

Xiao Ying and Xiao Li suddenly feel something creeping on their body.

"Noooo! Don't come closer!"

"Please don't!"

Xiao Ying and Xiao Li screamed with all their might while Yunlong smiled in the real world.

"Well, I won. We can fight now." Yunlong said while staring at Yu Ning'er, who is staring at Xiao Ying and Xiao Li with a frown on her face.

"What happens to them?" Yu Ning'er asked before hearing a scream comes out of the twin's mouth.

"Nooo! Please stop!" Xiao Ying screamed while releasing tears from her eyes.

"Don't, Don't! Don't come closer!" Xiao Li shouted while peeing himself in fear.

All the elder and Yu Ning'er staring at him with a deep frown.

"Don't worry, It's just a little illusion," Yunlong stated with a smirk on his face.

"Yunlong... How could you say that with a smirk on your face." Qian Renxue face-palming herself while releasing a sigh.
