Chapter 551: Spar With Lord Ein
The crowd quickly quieted down as they watched Lord Ein and Yana s.p.a.ce out between each other. "Yana, you can make the first move. Show this old man what you got."
"Mmm..." Yana was never one to give way when someone said she could have the first move. But she also knew better than to go for a killing strike. Since Lord Ein adopted her as his granddaughter, she did not wish to hurt him too badly. As she got into her fighting stance, her entire aura changed. This caused Lord Ein to raise an eyebrow. He now understood that this girl was not to be looked down upon.
"First stance, slash of the beginning!" Yana"s body disappeared from where she stood, and all you could see was a trail of dust and a loud boom as waves of energy shot out in every direction. And then, amidst the dust that was kicked up faint laughter could be heard. One old man and one Young girl were both laughing. "Grandpa is strong!"
"Haha! This old man has yet to meet someone as strong as you! Let"s continue!" Lord Ein and Yana both had big maniacal grins on their faces at this time. Besides the old man that Yana could only give a tiny slice to, Lord Ein was also very strong.
Yana smiled brightly as she joyfully said: "Yes!"
Gia who was watching the first exchange from the safe room inside the area, eyes were wide open, and her ears were twitching back and forth. She knew Yana was strong but to be able to have her grandfather suddenly become like his old self was unheard of! She had not seen him like this since rank number two and him fought. "I guess it is in our genes to be strong. Mama, Papa, are you seeing this? Grandpa is truly smiling once again."
Yana and Lord Ein went through hundreds of exchanges. Yana was only using basic techniques at this time. She wanted to learn as much as possible from Lord Ein, and using her sword stances was not going to let her get the most out of this battle.
"Hah! Look at you! Using me to practice! I love it!" Lord Ein could see right through Yana, but he did not care. For Yana, who was powerful with the sword, and he himself, who has spent years refining his own way of the sword, he felt very flattered that she was so willing to try to pick up some of his own abilities. As such, he was intentionally slowing down some of his attacks so she could get a better look. While it was slow for Yana, for those watching, it was far from being anything considered slow.
The audience could only see the dust flying all over and hear the sound of metal against metal as they two fought. There were only a few who actually could tell what was going on, Gia being one of them. But even so, they were still yelling and screaming as they watched the amazing battle in front of them.
"Yana, I think that"s enough training. Let"s see more of your real skills." Lord Ein suddenly said as he pushed off Yana and swung hard: "Gravity force, expel!"
Yana only felt her body shoot out towards the arena wall as she was. .h.i.t with a huge repelling force. She looked at Lord Ein, her eyes glowing with excitement. She couldn"t control her happiness as she yelled out: "Amazing!" while cras.h.i.+ng into the arena wall.
She quickly got up and shrugged off the debris as she got into stance. "Second stance, slash of creation!"
*Boom!*
Dust and debris flew everywhere as the two swords collided. Lord Ein was doing all he could to hold back this attack, even using his Gravity force, expel again. Gritting his teeth, he yelled out: "Gravity force, gravity fall!"
Yana suddenly felt her whole body become heavy, causing her to push off Lord Ein and jump back out of the range of the attack. The two"s attack had created a ma.s.sive crater in the arena floor. But Yana was not done yet. After doing a few backflips, she landed back into her battle stance. "Third stance... "
A ma.s.sive wave of power filled the arena causing Lord Ein to form beads of sweat on his brow. He never thought Yana would have this much power! Even he was feeling threatened by this attack. But he would not give in! He would take it head-on! "...slash of destruction!"
Yana slashed out with her sword, sending out a wave of energy in a cone out in front of her. Lord Ein stabbed his sword into the ground and made a few hand signs as he yelled out: "Gravity force, cosmic planet!"
A blue barrier surrounded Lord Ein just as Yana"s attack hit. A loud explosion was her and a cracking sound following that. Yana"s attack had been blocked, but Lord Ein did not get out of that attack unscathed. His clothes and beard had become unkempt as he looked up at Yana in surprise only to see her arriving right in front of him with her arms wide open as she hugged him tightly. "Grandpa, you are amazing! You actually blocked that!"
Lord Ein was startled by the sudden embrace but seeing how happy Yana was, he couldn"t help but let out a laugh. "Haha! The spar ends here! I lost! "
"No! You didn"t," Yana said as she stepped back from Lord Ein. "Earlier, you were going easy on me, and I know you did not use any real attack moves on me, only defensive ones. If you were to really attack me, I am afraid I would already be dead. So this is my loss."
Yana knew better than anyone that Lord Ein was holding back. She was now very glad she came here. She was glad she could meet someone as strong as Lord Ein. Someone who proved that she still had a long way to go before she could truly be someone powerful. Yana thought for a moment before suddenly kneeling in front of Lord Ein. "Grandpa, please take me as your disciple."
