My Fated Alpha Wolf King

The Alpha's Challenge

Lu Ou and Fei Tuo stared at each other. A moment later, Lu Ou let out a great shout and swung his sword towards Fei Tuo. Fei Tuo defended with his shield. The golden sword and silver shield collided with a thunderous "boom." The shockwaves from the clash spread outward, causing the accumulated snow on the surrounding trees to fall in showers.Ming Yue couldn't withstand the force of the shockwave and was sent flying outwards. She saw the trees of the forest flashing past her eyes, until suddenly, someone caught her from behind, and she found herself standing back on the snow. Ming Yue turned her head. It was Xia Na who had saved her.Ming Yue said, "Witch sister, you saved me again. Thank you!"Xia Na's intervention had been instinctive, not because she believed Ming Yue wasn't a wolf-kin. But seeing Ming Yue's innocent smile, Xia Na couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, stand behind me. The energy waves won't hurt you."Ming Yue blinked her large, watery eyes and asked, "Witch sister, can you take me to the Rose Academy to learn magic?"Xia Na thought to herself: I don't even know if you're a wolf-kin or not. How could I possibly take you to the Rose Academy? She answered vaguely, "We'll talk about it once this matter is settled."She turned back to watch the battle. Lu Ou and Fei Tuo were locked, sword against shield, competing with their energy. A golden aura blazed around Lu Ou's body, while a silver-white energy swirl surrounded Fei Tuo. Their auras clashed, continuously sparking with electric light.After graduating from the Rose Academy, Xia Na had been doing field training in the forest and was attacked by a tree monster. Lu Ou had intervened just in time to save her. After that, Lu Ou had started a relentless romantic pursuit of Xia Na. Although they hadn't officially confirmed their mate bond, Xia Na was somewhat fond of him. Seeing him now meet a strong opponent, if Xia Na helped, Lu Ou could certainly win. But Fei Tuo was chivalrous and resolute, and Xia Na couldn't bear to harm him. Moreover, if Fei Tuo lost, Lu Ou would inevitably trouble that cute little girl, which also troubled her greatly.Xia Na's gaze shifted. She saw Foxiu holding a dagger, looking ready to seize an opportunity to join the fight. Xia Na cast a fire arrow, shooting it through the air to land in front of Foxiu.Foxiu was singed by the edges of the fire arrow and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"Xia Na said, "They are having a fair duel. Don't even think about a sneak attack."Foxiu shouted, "Killing wolf-kin and having a fair duel are two different things! Are you a fool, witch?"Xia Na said coldly, "I have my own judgment. Stand still and behave. If you dare make a reckless move, I'll treat you to some poison!"Foxiu knew that witches were best at using poisons. He put away his dagger, shook his head at Bizeros, and complained, "What kind of witch is this? A complete novice..."Xia Na ignored Foxiu's grumbling. By now, Lu Ou and Fei Tuo's energy struggle had reached a critical point. Both men were gnashing their teeth, their facial expressions becoming quite distorted. Xia Na thought to herself, This is bad! If they continue this clash, it will end in mutual destruction! I must save them! A fireball materialized in her hand, and she prepared to choose the right moment to strike.At that moment, a bolt of flame struck the center between the golden sword and the silver shield. Lu Ou and Fei Tuo had been locked in stalemate for so long, both were in a state of near exhaustion. With the impact of the external force, both stumbled back several steps and fell to the ground.Lu Ou's golden sword flew from his hand. He propped himself up with his hands behind him, panting heavily. Fei Tuo lay on the ground, his face covered in soot. Ming Yue rushed forward, pressing his chest with concern: "Brother Fei, are you alright?" Fei Tuo opened his eyes, gently stroked Ming Yue's face, and said, "I told you I would keep you safe, and I will." Overcome with emotion, Ming Yue tightly embraced Fei Tuo.Xia Na looked at the fireball in her hand; it was still blazing intensely. She looked around and saw a middle-aged man in dark gray fur clothing walking out from the forest. This flame must have been cast by him.The man in gray was slightly plump and wore a faint smile that gave off an immediate sense of friendliness. He chuckled: "This ice plain has been largely untraveled for years. I never expected so many brave warriors to come here today to practice martial arts. It's truly an eye-opener. Why don't you all come to my village to rest and have a pot of warm wine?"Lu Ou and Fei Tuo had been fighting a life-and-death duel, and this man clearly knew it. Yet, he glossed over it with the word "practice," obviously intending to mediate the conflict. Xia Na waved towards him and said, "I am Xia Na, a sorceress graduated from the Rose Academy, currently a witch. Are you also a mage?"Xia Na had assumed that since this man knew magic, he would be impressed when she mentioned the "Rose Academy." To her surprise, the man merely said flatly, "I am Satan, a villager living nearby. I'm not a mage."Xia Na was quite surprised: "Wasn't that fireball spell you just used magic? How are you not a mage?"The man in gray, Satan, asked, puzzled: "That's called a fireball spell? I didn't know. All of us in Saintlight Village can use this skill."Satan's words had barely faded when Xia Na exclaimed in surprise, "You're from Saintlight Village?" Bizeros and Foxiu also let out gasps of astonishment.Satan saw the shocked expressions of the three and asked, puzzled: "Is something wrong?"Xia Na said, "Do you know Xia Ta?"Satan shook his head: "Xia Ta? No, I don't."Xia Na said, "Xia Ta is my sister! She lives in Saintlight Village! That's why I came here. How can you be from Saintlight Village and not know Xia Ta?"Satan said, "Our village has no such person."Xia Na insisted: "That's impossible. I received a pigeon letter from her three years ago saying she lived in Saintlight Village on the Taya Ice Plains."Satan said, "I grew up in Saintlight Village and have never heard that name."Seeing Satan so certain, doubt crept into Xia Na's mind: Could my sister have changed her name, or already left Saintlight Village?Bizeros spoke up: "We have lived on this ice plain for nearly ten years and have never heard of any Saintlight Village."Satan said, "The villagers of Saintlight Village have lived for generations, bathed in the pure sunlight and protected by the Ice Plain Divine Tree. We are the original inhabitants of the Taya Ice Plains. Since you've lived on the plains for many years, how could you not know of Saintlight Village?"Bizeros and Foxiu exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "This is indeed strange."Satan said, "If you don't believe me, why not come with me to the village? Then everything will be clear.""Going to see is fine, but..." Foxiu pointed at Ming Yue, "You can't bring her to the village. She's a wolf-kin. She'll bring disaster upon the village."Fei Tuo struggled to climb up from the ground, shielding Ming Yue behind him: "You're lying. She's not a wolf-kin. She's a seer."Satan looked at Ming Yue with some surprise: "This young girl is a seer?"Lu Ou pointed at Bizeros: "This elder is the seer. The little girl is the wolf-kin he identified."Fei Tuo was furious: "She is not a wolf."Satan, seeing another dispute brewing, quickly said, "It's alright. Our village has experienced several wolf-kin invasions. The chief has already developed a method for identifying and capturing wolf-kin. Let's all go to Saintlight Village. Whether she's a wolf-kin or not, the chief can verify it with a single test."Xia Na asked, "Is your village chief also a seer?"Satan said, "No, but he has another method to distinguish wolf-kin."Xia Na said, "You really are a mysterious village. I'm very interested in seeing it now, aren't you, Lu Ou?"Lu Ou said, "If you're interested, naturally I am too."Satan looked at Bizeros and Foxiu. Bizeros said, "We also want to see where exactly this Saintlight Village is."Satan asked Fei Tuo and Ming Yue, "What about you?"Fei Tuo looked at Ming Yue. Ming Yue shook her head and said, "Brother Fei, we don't get along with these people. Let's just go."Satan said, "Little sister, they say you're a wolf-kin. Don't you want to clear your name?"Ming Yue shook her head: "It's enough that Brother Fei believes me. Whether others believe it or not is none of my concern."Satan pointed at Lu Ou and Foxiu: "But if you don't go, it confirms a guilty conscience. They won't let you go. Do you want your brother to be hurt again protecting you?"Ming Yue looked at Fei Tuo's weary face, her heart softened, unsure of what to do.Xia Na walked over, gently stroked Ming Yue's head, and said, "Little sister, didn't you say earlier you wanted to go to the Rose Academy to learn magic?" Ming Yue nodded. Xia Na continued, "Then come with us to Saintlight Village. If your innocent identity is confirmed, I will recommend you to enter the Rose Academy. What do you think of that?"Ming Yue sought Fei Tuo's opinion with her eyes. He nodded slightly towards her and said, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."Seeing Fei Tuo say this, Ming Yue sighed and lowered her head, indicating silent acceptance.Xia Na was pleased: "Good, both sides have reached an agreement. Then let's go! I declare that until Sister Ming Yue's identity is verified, no one is allowed to make a move on their own. Anyone who breaks this rule, I'll treat them to poison."Bizeros shook his head subtly. Foxiu spread his hands and sighed, "Novice."
