I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1712: 23.31 Second Grey Star - City Tournamentʼs Content

The eldest and second sons of the White and Black King had a higher beginning than An Zhe and Yun Luan when it comes to experience, as they were born abroad through artificial means. Their interest in ice skating was inherited from their parents, including their talents.

Thatʼs why they started competing for championship titles when they were young. These two are currently the youngest single-division athletes in the World Ice Figure Skating Competition. Since their parents are considered legendary skaters, they no longer compete and only defend their titles as the Kings of Ice.

They would be invited to perform opening acts, host, or judge in the world tournaments. They can no longer be considered competitors, as no one can defeat them at all. Because of this situation, their children ended up becoming the new idols in competitions.

Their appearance, talent, and experience were the most popular in the world competition circle. They were the legitimate princes of ice in the world domain.

However, An Zhe and Yun Luan didnʼt get jealous of these two young men. After all, they knew that with their talents, they would be able to compete on the world stage.

An Zhe declared, ”Alright! Wait for us!”

”It shouldnʼt take long,” said Yun Luan.

After the children had eaten their breakfast, they rode in the car prepared by the old butler, and they all headed to the Ice Rink Center. This center is completely different from the public one and is private property of the Ye family. Moreover, compared to the one before, this place is a lot larger, with two conjoint ice rinks separated by a resting area in the middle of the two ice rinks.

When the children arrived, they saw Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie playing on the ice. They are chasing one another and dodging with high-level techniques one after another. There is no sequence or music. Simply a scene of happiness above the ice. Moreover, there are two small bundles slowly balancing between the two unharmed.

It was as if this family was born in the world of ice, and everything was under their control. Seeing this scene, Ye Jingxia and Ye Qinjing immediately changed their shoes to join them. For such a family interaction, these two would never let themselves be left alone.

”Dad! Father! Momo! Xiaxia! I want to play!” shouted Ye Jingxia with eyes full of excitement while pulling his elder brother with him.

”Donʼt run. Be careful, Xiao Jing!” said Ye Qinjing as he controlled his brotherʼs strength, making sure he wouldnʼt slip.

Then the two recalled An Zhe and Yun Luan, who are their grandparentsʼ avatars in this world, and turned around to drag them towards the family.

”Join us! Itʼs more fun to play with everyone! At least help us catch Dad and Father. We never caught them during the chase,” said Ye Jingxia.

The original group of six of the Ye family had increased to eight.

After a while, Ye Qinjing and Ye Jingxia, together with the twins, chose to occupy the other ice rink. The only ones that remained were An Zhe and Yun Luan, together with their coaches. They are now preparing for the city competition that will happen a few months from now. The two coaches, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie, had called over their disciples to explain everything about the competition that would be happening in the city.

The White King, Hei Anjing, said, ”You guys have done well at the regional. However, do not be arrogant for winning the regional trophy. The competition in the city is harder than the regional one.”

”It can be said that the regional competition is the same as the beginner village. It is now time for you guys to come out of such a village. In the regional competition, you only show a complete sequence, and everyone will compete with it alone. However, for the city competition, what they are testing is different,” said Ye Xiajie, the Black King.

An Zhe frowned and asked, ”How is it different? Is it not the sequence, technique, and audience impact they are trying to test in the city?”

”No, itʼs not. The one they are trying to test this time is temperament. It is your presence yourself,” said Hei Anjing. ”You need to prove that you have the right to stand at the ice rink.”

”How will they be able to test that, coach?” asked Yun Luan.

Hei Anjing answered with a smile, ”They will give you the same sequence and give you enough time to listen, watch, and remember it. Finally, you will have to dance it on the spot. There will be at least three to five sequences to remember.”

”You will also be able to rearrange it. However, adding and removing techniques or movements is not allowed. Once you add or remove a part of the sequences you have been given, then you are disqualified,” explained Ye Xiajie.

Yun Luan and An Zhe didnʼt expect the city tournament to be this hard. Not only were they not making their own sequence, but they also had to remember a few more sequences they would be performing on the spot.

An Zhe said, ”But I still didnʼt understand how they will test our temperament.”

”For that, there is no need to think too much. Just be yourself! What you need to focus on in the current training is memorizing and performing until it becomes instinct that you watch and remember what you would be shown,” Ye Xiajie said.

Hei Anjing said, ”Since the content of the city tournament has been explained, let us begin now. I and Xia will perform two different sequences twice. Add another every ten minutes. You two will have to remember everything.”

”However, during the memorization, there is no need to copy everything. Like we said, they will be testing your temperament. That is something that only you are supposed to know,” the Black King, Ye Xiajie, said.

While An Zhe and Yun Luan were worrying about their temperament, the two coaches started their training. The two coaches started performing with two different sequences. Since the two of them had been at the same time, these two youngsters do not know which coach should start watching first. Having to watch two dances on the spot, the two didnʼt know which to remember, and even by remembering the two at the same time, they had to worry about mixing the two sequences.

The White King and the Black King started to dance their own sequences before the two. They didnʼt immediately give the two any hints and wanted to train their train of thought as well. There are only two sequences performed yet, but An Zhe and Yun Luan were having a hard time controlling the stage. It only took half an hour for the two coaches to finish their pieces and finally approach their students.

Ye Xiajie said, ”Perform what you had me memorize. Letʼs start with you, Zhe!”

With that, An Zhe reluctantly stood at the center of the ice rink. With a cold sweat on his face, An Zhe started dancing the first sequence. The two kings and Yun Luan watch An Sheʼs performance. At first, it was no problem, as he recalled the first few movements they had watched before. In the middle of his performance, An Zheʼs mind turned blank, and finally, in the end, he slipped and lost all the concentration he had before.

He, An Zhe, had slipped.

Hei Anjing commented, ”He only remembered a quarter and finally forgot and fainted.”

”Tsk! What an idiot! Baby, I will need to teach that one more strictly,” said Ye Xiajie, who took his student for special training in the other corner of the ice rink.

After watching An Zhe get dragged away, Hei Anjing felt a tug on his clothes. He turned around only to see Yun Luan looking at him.

”Coach, let us begin too,” said Yun Luan.

Hei Anjing smiled and believed that his student would be better than An Zheʼs performance just now. At least Yun Luan grasped something, and that is timing. After performing the sequence his coach had done, Yun Luan looked as if he had fallen into some state of trance. At this state, Yun Luan no longer recalled and let his body move only according to what his mind wanted him to do. However, after a few swift movements, Yun Luanʼs concentration broke, and he stopped abruptly and felt as if he had overused all his strength. Thankfully, Hei Anjing was there and caught his student before he fell.

Hei Anjing said, ”Good job. Donʼt forget that feeling. You must control that sensation and make it your own.”

”Coach, why did I feel so tired when Iʼve only danced two incomplete sequences?” Yun Luan asked.

The White King, Hei Anjing, answered, ”This is because the processing of your brain has been accelerated, making you remember more easily, and your body will move accordingly to what the brain is telling you to do. In that state, your thinking process is at peak speed, making you remember everything at sight and perform it again and again.”

”At least, you are better than that brat who didnʼt think much and prepared to show it to his parents, only to be taken away or ignored. Rest for half an hour and do it again. In another hour, I will add another sequence!” Hei Anjing said.

It was only at this moment that Yun Luan and An Zhe realized the difference between regional tournaments and the city one.
