Chapter 879: I Run Fast
Yubel.
Despite having only one eye, You Xuan immediately recognized her upon seeing her.
"Oh, it only has one eye too!"
Yan popped out, looking excited.
"What a coincidence, nice to meet you!"
But Yubel's eye glanced at it, seemingly unamused, and quickly lost interest.
"Hey, what's the deal?" Yan's eyes flashed with anger, "We're both eyes, why look down on me?"
However, both You Xuan and Yubel ignored it in perfect harmony.
You Xuan quickly examined her opponent. As expected, it was not the main body as he had anticipated, but merely a temporary communication through the residual power within Cobra's body.
You Xuan placed his hand on his waist and smiled, "What's the matter? Why not talk to me in person? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I won't eat you."
Yubel laughed out loud.
"Hehe, you're quite an interesting kid."
She suppressed her laughter and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, I will, sooner or later." Yubel said, "I've been keeping an eye on you for a while now. You're quite interesting, and you're already on my list.
But not just yet."
"Oh?" You Xuan asked, "Since you already have this intention, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come over now, and we can have a good chat about life?"
"Hahaha, that's funny, but no thanks. I can see that you're different from others, possessing a power that many others lack. Even I have to be cautious."
Yubel smiled.
"As you can see, I'm not in the best shape right now. But don't worry, I'll come to you, and it won't be long. After all..."
As she spoke, the eye's gaze suddenly became sharp, and her tone turned a few degrees colder.
"...you took away something very important to me."
You Xuan: "?"
Huh?
He furrowed his brows slightly.
Wait, is this our first face-to-face meeting?
What did I take from you?
But Yubel didn't continue on this topic, instead, she changed the subject.
"However, thank you for your gift." She glanced at Cobra, who was lying on the ground and was as good as dead, and said indifferently, "Although you broke my toy, which is quite annoying, and I will indeed come to settle the score with you for this.
But what I didn't expect was that during the duel, you caused the darkness in his heart to swell more than double. Hehe, I enjoyed it quite a bit."
Despite having only one eye, she strangely made a sound as if she were licking her lips with her tongue.
You Xuan responded generously, "You're welcome."
Yubel was taken aback, and then the eye narrowed slightly.
Because she suddenly had a strange feeling.
Could this guy... have intentionally provoked Cobra's inner darkness during the duel to help accelerate her resurrection?
No, that's impossible. I don't know him, what reason would he have to help me?
After a brief silence, Yubel's eye looked up and down at You Xuan.
"Your heart also hides an unimaginable darkness. Well, that's normal; the stronger the duelist, the greater the darkness hidden within."
Yubel continued, letting out a low laugh.
"I can't wait to have a good taste of it. What does the darkness in the heart of a so-called king taste like?"
"Sure." You Xuan nodded generously, "Then I'll keep that darkness in my heart and treat you to a good feast when the time comes."
Yubel choked for a moment.
She suddenly felt a bit confused.
Is he being this polite?
Should she say thank you now?
Yubel stiffly pondered for two seconds.
Then, she hummed.
"Then I'll see you later."
As she finished speaking, the eye disintegrated, turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing from sight.
"She's cunning, not staying in Professor Cobra's laboratory."
Torikage Yuxuan muttered to himself.
"She sure knows how to cause trouble."
Yan blinked twice and asked, "So, that's the real mastermind behind the scenes, right?"
"Yeah," Yuxuan confirmed.
Yan glanced at Cobra, who lay unconscious on the ground.
"So, this one was just being used?"
"I guess so."
"Does that mean we have to wait for her to recuperate and come after us again?" Yan inquired.
No mistakes, no omissions, comprehensive content for Chapter 6-9, please view and read!
"Not necessarily," Yuxuan shook his head.
"In her current incomplete state, most of the time, she should be by Cobra's side. Judging from her recent resurrection, with her current ability level, she probably can't stray too far from Cobra."
What Yuxuan didn't mention was that Cobra's original plan involved having all the students wear wristwatch devices to absorb their Duel energy for Yubel's resurrection. With the technology Cobra employed, Yubel, who absorbed Duel energy, likely couldn't be too far away from him.
At most, Yubel could only materialize one arm with her current energy level, and the only way for her to travel long distances was by possessing a host. For now, she was likely still hiding somewhere on this island.
Like the Yubel in the anime, she didn't fully resurrect even after Cobra was defeated by Generation Ten and the entire academy was transported to another dimension. At that time, she chose to possess a first-year La-Huang student.
The new student in the Yellow Dormitory, Gana Malden, was the only son of the Napoleon teacher at the Duel Academy. However, Malden's family broke apart when he was young, and his parents divorced, after which he lived with his mother. Although he appeared introverted and didn't easily reveal his true thoughts, deep down, he harbored resentment towards his parents.
This resentment created a darkness within him, allowing Yubel to take advantage and control him as her host before her complete resurrection.
Yuxuan even suspected that Yubel should have been in the glass container in Cobra's laboratory, just like in the anime.
However, she might have sensed Yuxuan's approach or perhaps her sixth sense warned her of danger, causing her to distance herself from Cobra ahead of time.
Currently, she was probably still hiding somewhere near this abandoned experimental facility, somewhere on the island.
Yuxuan looked around at the surrounding dense forest.
Hmm, although he made this guess, searching for a powerful spirit on such a vast island seemed much more challenging than finding a human intruder.
"Leave it to us, Boss."
At that moment, Mina from the Black Scorpion Bandits stepped forward, offering her services.
The other Black Scorpion members appeared behind her, striking various poses, ready for action.
"No evil can escape the eyes of the Black Scorpion Bandits!"
"Don't worry, Boss. We'll never let any intruder who dares to enter our territory get away!"
Yuxuan thought for a moment.
Indeed, he didn't have many spirits that could maintain their physical form in the real world for an extended period and work independently away from him. The silent one, who served as his personal bodyguard and royal guard, was the most suitable for this reconnaissance mission.
"Alright, you guys be careful too," Yuxuan nodded, "Just find her trail, and try not to confront her directly. You're no match for her."
Leader Zalug muttered something under his breath, feeling that the boss's words, though true, were still hurtful.
Zeek, however, patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry, boss. When it comes to running away, I'm the best!"
After all, he was known as "Zeek the Swift Runner."
His words immediately drew disdainful looks from his teammates.
Was this something to be proud of?
