The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 753 - ROOKIE CARNIVAL CHAMPION

INSIDE the shadow world, Luo Yan watched as his brotherʼs back hit the black crystal. And true to the description that the Duke of Hearts gave, Luo Jinʼs avatar started to turn into light particles the moment it did. And then the lights on the coliseum suddenly returned, as if signaling the end of the match.

Luo Yan didnʼt stay inside the shadow world and jumped in front of Luo Jin. 

The other only smiled helplessly when he saw him. ”You really got me there.”

”Well, I just bet on Ah Jinʼs quick response and agile thinking,” Luo Yan said. ”I believed that you would do the best thing that you could at that moment.”

”Then, Iʼm glad I didnʼt let you down,” Luo Jin said with a bit of a sarcastic tone. Then he smiled, without any scruple, just a full-blown smile showing how happy he was for his brother. ”Congratulations, Yan.”

Luo Yan also smiled back brightly. ”Thank you. And Ah Jin, you really did amazing.”

”I know.”

Thatʼs the last thing Luo Jin said before his avatar completely turned into light particles. Seeing this, Luo Yan couldnʼt help but smile again. 

What he said to his brother earlier was true, he really did bet that the other would react in the way that he expected him to in that kind of situation. 

He knew about Luo Jinʼs skill – [Polarity]. Before he started doing hidden tasks with Shen Ji Yun, he and Luo Jin usually grinded and did task together. One of the tasks they did before gave a skill book of [Polarity]. Since itʼs a skill for Gunslingers, Luo Jin ended up having it.

But because of that, Luo Yan knew how that skill worked. From how after activating the skill one needed to fire to consecutive bullets to the two targets that would act as ʼpolesʼ. But they shouldnʼt be just any targets. One should be a moving target and the other was a stationary one. The moving target should be shot as close as possible while the stationary one should be from afar. 

Thatʼs why Luo Yan created the ideal situation for Luo Jin to use this skill. And his brother didnʼt disappoint him. 

Actually, if the other just took a second to think more, he believed that Luo Jin would discover that he was planning such a thing. His actions were practically shouting ʼuse [Polarity]!ʼ. 

He was lucky that Luo Jin was probably too surprised that time. And probably also thinking that he should finish the match as soon as possible before the light returned to the coliseum. Because of those reasons, Luo Yan was able to push him to the direction he wanted. Thus, this result.

He glanced at his severed arm. But just like he said, Luo Jin did amazing. No one could take that from him. If someone would even try to discredit all the amazing things he did in this tournament just because he lost in the end, then that person could only be someone whoʼs bitter and jealous. 

Luo Yanʼs thoughts were interrupted because of the sudden loud cheer. 

He raised his head and looked around. He could see some of the audience standing while some were applauding and the rest were shouting his name.

”Noctis!!! Congratulations!!!”

”You did great, Noctis!!!”

”Youʼre amazing!!!”

”Noctis!!!”

Luo Yan smiled at the audience and waved. Then when she looked at the royal box of team Yunyue, he smiled even brighter and waved much more enthusiastically.

In his mind, he immediately heard Eclipseʼs voice.

[Mashter, congrats! Eclipse is so happy that you won! Eclipse was so worried about Mashter that his heart almost jumped out many times during your fight with young master. Oh, and young master also did a good job by the way. Everyone here says so. Also, everyone congratulates Mashter as well! 

[Theyʼre very happy that you won. Especially Captain! Eclipse saw him with a really, really, really big smile on his face. You should have seen it, Mashter. Eclipse almost thought he was hallucinating. But then, Eclipse immediately understood that Captain was just happy that Mashter won. Captain is really such a supportive husband.]

That last part, Eclipse said in a dreamy tone. Luo Yan just felt the corner of his lips twitching. Because of the animated way the little fox narrated all that, it was easy for him to imagine Shen Ji Yunʼs expression. A really big smile, huh? He would have loved to see that.

[Why should he be my husband? Canʼt he be my wife?] – he said in response.

There was a slight pause before Eclipse said, [Ahm, Mashter, Eclipse doesnʼt want to burst your bubble but… ahm, your overly abundant beauty is just, ah, Eclipse mean that Captain is just a perfect husband material. Donʼt you think so as well, Mashter?]

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. [So, Eclipse meant that because Iʼm too beautiful, Iʼm not fit to be called a ʼhusbandʼ? Thatʼs stereotyping, you know?]

[Then, then, Mashter can also be the husband. Both you and Captain are husband and husband!] – Eclipse quickly said, probably thinking that Luo Yan was scolding him. 

He just chuckled. [Husband and husband. I kind of like the sound of that.] He seemed to hear the little foxʼ sigh, as if relieved that he wasnʼt angry. [I think the duke will come down now. Iʼll see you later. And please, tell everyone I say thank you.]

[Okay, Mashter!]

Just as Luo Yan thought, the duke flew down and circled around the rink. ”That was a good match, no? This lord believe that no one here could actually say that the two finalists didnʼt do their best, right?”

The crowd said a resounding ʼyesʼ as an answer.

”This lord was truly quite entertained. My guess of who would win changed quite a number of times. When I thought that this one would win, the other would do something to subvert my expectation. But at the end, there could only be one winner.” 

The duke finally flew towards him, floating around him.. ”And now, here he is. The champion of this yearʼs Rookie Carnival – Noctis!”
