Erik was right. Zayn literally crossed the lake on his feet at the speed of a bullet as though he was just waltzing through a normal road.To Erik, however, it was mind-blowing. This was so completely out of his understanding that he wondered if he was seeing things. So, to wake himself up, he pinched his thigh as hard as he could.A sharp pain flared from the spot at the same time he heard his students crying out in surprise. It was not a trick of the eyes—Zayn was indeed walking on water!More accurately, Zayn was running across water. For one, he had not become so divine that he could just cross the lake by walking. The actual mechanical secret lay in his speed—he was speeding through the water and was fast enough to generate enough drag force that combined with the thrust Zayn’s feet made as he sprinted, he pretty much zipped over the surface of the lake.Honestly, Zayn would not want to show off his capabilities in front of the ignorant masses if he could help it, but this was
Her exclamation shocked all three of her friends, who blurted out, “That’s him?!”“Oh my God, it’s really him! I heard that his powers had grown so much. It’s impossible to even ascertain anymore… Like, not even the she-devil Mia could match him! He killed her on the spot!”“Sh*t! No wonder he’s Guineve’s premier fighter! I ain’t surprised!”They were unbelievably and absurdly shocked. They stared in the direction Zayn had vanished, their minds still ringing and flabbergasted. It was a large lake with its opposite bank lying about three hundred meters and more away, yet Zayn managed to speed through it like it was a road on land. It was a testament to the level of his power!Lindsay’s eyes burned brightly in determination. Clenching her fists, she promised herself in a determined, gushing breath, “I’ll see you again, my idol! And I’ll make sure I become your student!”Zayn had no idea that Lindsay had set her eyes on him. If he had known, he would have been pretty miffed about it.
Still, Lysithea did not turn to meet Zayn. Her back remained against him.Zayn finally caught up with her and stopped. Any mere expert fighter would have been so fatigued and worn out by the high-speed marathon that they would have arrived dead, but to Zayn, it was just a warm-up. All it took was two breaths, and he felt his energy returning already.His eyes lingered around Lysithea’s back, fully understanding the fact that this was the closest he had ever gotten to be around her. He could sense that ethereality that seemed to make up most of her form. The dissociative feeling that she was never a real person but a puff of dancing smoke or a mirage. She was the fog itself—she could not possibly be real. If he looked away, she might even disappear at the first billow of the wind.The atmosphere gelled. There was a distance of ten meters between them, and an invisible wall of uncanniness was building fast the longer neither of them talked.Zayn was the one to break the ice. “So… wha
Zayn thought he had seen everything. He was no stranger to the best nature could offer when it came to women and their God-given beauty—Faye Carter, Shaelyn Peace, Mirabelle Owen, Alexandra Smith, Annabelle Laking, and so many more. He was supposed to be so immune to premier feminine charms by now, and yet when he laid his eyes on Lysithea, he was still profoundly, utterly bewitched.He wondered if he was looking at a dryad or a… fae.It was the first thing that came to his mind. He could believe she was a mortal woman. She must be nature’s spirit in humanoid form. There was more to her than just her almost miraculous beauty—there was an aureole of sublimity about her, an almost transcendental countenance that all the other beauties Zayn had ever met failed to measure up.The reason for that was simple: Lysithea was not a normal young woman. She was a superior class master fighter, one who had attained the fourth-tier, and her body had undergone the same morphological changes. She l
Zayn was stunned upon seeing that. He had not expected that a highly-skilled fighter like Lysithea would actually miss a step. Moreover, her face turned ghastly pale instantly. It was totally a reaction to a panic attack resulting from mental disturbance!He had only removed Lysithea’s face veil, did she need to go as far as to have such a huge reaction?Zayn felt rather frustrated in his heart. However, he still had to take action and save Lysithea now. After all, it would be bad for Lysithea to take a fall. Hence, he made a move swiftly by wrapping his arm around Lysithea’s body with unerring precision just before Lysithea was about to fall over. He had just come into physical contact with Lysithea when he discovered that she had an amazing figure, especially her bouncy, flexible waist and firm skin. By the time Lysithea reacted to the situation, she realized that she was actually leaning against Zayn’s chest. Instantly, she got even more agitated so she glared at Zayn. “You yo
Upon saying that, she stood straight, shut her eyes and assumed an expression as if she was ready to go all out. Zayn was stunned upon hearing her remark. He looked at her strangely and wondered if this woman was sick in the head?However, Zayn could not help shifting his gaze to Lysithea’s body following her remark. Lysithea was on his mother’s side regardless and she was here in Waltz City to protect him. After figuring this out, he felt that his anger was vented but he felt frustrated mainly. He waved his hand dismissively and said, “Forget it. You should leave, just think of it as me being unlucky.”Lysithea opened her eyes and watched as Zay stood up and left slowly. She felt very unpleasant in her heart. She chased after Zayn and stopped him in his way. She said in all apparent seriousness, “No, you have to slap me back! I don’t like to owe anyone favors in my life!”Zayn was all confused. What sort of ideology was that? He had already expressed his intention to forgive
Yes. No matter where Zayn decided to slap, it was inevitable that he would be taking advantage of a woman. It would be fine if she was just another woman yet Lysithea was not just any other ordinary woman but she was sent by his mother. Lysithea was growing impatient. She opened her eyes and said with furrowed brows, ‘Hey, will you pick up the pace. You’re a man yet you’re fussy like a woman.”Zayn was rendered speechless by her remark. Could he not fuss about this matter?However, Zayn was feeling rather emotional about this frankly. After all, Lysithea was a tier-4 master fighter and she was so beautiful. It would be a rather good idea if he could take advantage of her too…Bah, bah, bah, what the heck was he thinking? Zayn inhaled a deep breath and suppressed the distracting thoughts. Then, he calmed down and came up with an idea. Lysithea wanted him to slap her back anyhow and she did not mention how heavy he should slap so he would just humor her by simply giving a slap a
“Shut up!”Lysithea did not wait for him to finish his sentence, instead interrupting him brutally. He glared at him, gnashing her teeth in anger. She was breathing rapidly and heaving violently, even Diego had never stirred up such intense emotions in her all this time. However, she found that she could not bring herself to hate Zayn because Zayn was Aunt Hayley’s only son. She let out a heavy grunt, glared at Zayn once then walked away. In the end, she still turned around and instructed Zayn, “You’re not telling anyone about what happened today!”What else could Zayn have said but he could only nod in a haste. Zayn confirmed that Lysithea had left and that she would not return anymore before he allowed himself to heave a sigh of relief. He rubbed his chest and exhaled a metallic breath that stank of blood. It was fortunate that he had a strong body, or else he would have crumpled from the slap.It was of the essence that he had realized that Lysithea’s power seemed to ha
