Legends of Runeterra

"Hoo~!"

Akali opened her mouth slightly, and white mist shot straight ahead like an arrow, gradually disintegrating until it was four or five meters away.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Akali opened her eyes in a daze, but what she saw was the scene of Li En and Yun Ana smiling and talking to each other.

In this scene, if Akali had not accompanied Li En to the spiritual realm and was absolutely sure that this was the first time they met, people would have thought that the two were friends who had known each other for many years.

"Akali, you're awake. How do you feel?"

"Brother Li En, I feel great."

"The body and spirit are still and the eyes are shining.

Very good, you have grasped some of the essence of the Spirit Fist, Akali, I was right about you!"

"Yes, thank you Master for the Dharma!"

Akali quickly stood up and bowed to Yunana again.

At this moment, she accepted the complete inheritance of the "Spirit Fist". Although she had not yet comprehended the profound content, Akali realized that the preciousness of this boxing technique was no less than the inheritance of the "Shadow Fist" as she was just a beginner.

Or to be more precise, many contents of this boxing technique are derived from the inheritance of "Shadow Fist", reaching the level of surpassing the original.

This also fits Yunana's identity. After all, before entering the spiritual realm, she also held the position of "Shadow Fist" and had been accompanied by the holy artifact Ainina for more than a thousand years.

It is normal to comprehend and create such a boxing style in such a long period of time.

"Haha~! There's no need to be so lame, Akali. From the moment I created the Spirit Fist, I've been looking for a qualified successor. Your appearance has fulfilled my wish.

Now that I have passed this boxing technique on to you, I hope you will use it to punish evil and uphold justice, and maintain balance. Remember not to bully the weak!"

"Yes, Master, Akali understands!"

"Also, just like I taught you the Spiritual Fist today, if you see someone with the right character and talent in the future, you can also pass this fist technique on to others. Don't let it be left without a successor."

"...Yes, Master..."

Listening to Yunana's words that sounded like a farewell, Akali looked at her hesitantly.

"Master, now that we've found you, how about you return to the Order of the Balance with us?"

"Haha~! No need, Akali. I have to stay here."

"But..."

Before Akali could say something, Li En's hand had already been gently placed on her shoulder.

Turning her head to look at Li En, and seeing him nod gently at her, Akali stopped talking.

Just from the way Li En and Yun Ana were talking happily when she opened her eyes, Akali knew that the two of them got along well during the time when she was learning boxing.

At this moment, it would undoubtedly be more appropriate to leave the task of persuading Yun Ana to Li En, who is more familiar with her.

Moreover, even that 'cold-faced and ruthless white-haired man' Jie's recognition of Li En is no less than that of his only senior brother he cares about. Akali believes that as long as Li En takes action, he will never fail.

"Yun Ana..."

"Li En, you don't have to persuade me. This is the agreement I made with Master Binan a long time ago, and I cannot go against it.

In addition, I must also wait here for the 'Honorable God'. He has done a favor to me and Ionia. Although I cannot contact him now, this is the only place that he and I know in common in the spiritual realm.

If He needs my help, He will definitely come here to find me."

Before Li En could open his mouth to persuade her, Yun Ana immediately told him all her reasons, trying to directly block the other party from persuading her.

However, faced with this series of reasons that were so sufficient that they could not be refuted, Li En just looked at the other party calmly.

"Um... Yunana, is this all your reasons?"

"Hmm? Li En you..."

"You just need to tell me the answer first."

"Yes."

"Okay, first, please take a look at this."

As Li En spoke, he took out an ancient token from his arms.

"This is..."

"Master's token!?"

Akali on the side exclaimed softly and looked at the old card in Li En's hand with surprise.

Long before setting off, when asking Shen for help, Li En noticed that something was wrong with Kennen, so he took the initiative to ask for the master's token.

Shen was just a little curious about this and never doubted Li En's motives. He handed the token to the other party without hesitation.

"Yes, it was Master Pi Nan who made the agreement with you, but now the token is here. Seeing the order is like seeing the master..."

"Li En, I..."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to break the promise of staying in Twilight Temple. However, after thousands of years, shouldn't you take a break?"

Staring at those gentle and peaceful dark eyes in a trance, Yun Ana felt countless complicated emotions surging in her heart.

"Rest...rest..."

"Yes."

"But..."

Hearing that Yun Ana did not directly refuse, Li En's smile grew wider.

"Regarding that 'Venerable God', I think after all these years, no news is the best news, right?"

"...Um."

"Since you're worried that He will come looking for you, we can leave a communication circle outside the temple. Just trigger it, and you and I can return together.

If He needs help, I can lend a hand, what do you think? "

"..."

Facing Li En's gaze, Yun Ana was silent for a while, then nodded without any rebuttal.

Yun Ana, who has been practicing diligently for thousands of years, is naturally confident in her own strength, but if she could have another "Sacred Dragon Master", how could she not be willing?

"Great, Master. Now we can go back to the sect together!"

Before the final decision was made, Akali opened the champagne at halftime.

Looking at the excited and happy Akali, Yunana shook her head slightly and bowed slightly to Li En to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Li En, thank you for everything you've done for me, but..."

Yunana paused for a moment.

"Just now I just wanted to decline. In fact, besides those two reasons, when I entered the spiritual realm, I signed a contract using secret techniques, which prevented me from leaving the confines of Twilight Temple."

"This...how could this happen..."

Akali frowned. Even though Yunana was talking about a contract, how could she not know at this moment that this so-called 'Twilight Temple' was actually a 'cage' that had imprisoned the other party for thousands of years.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Akali. The horrific nature of that 'disaster' even caused Ionia to suffer devastating losses and a dwindling population.

So...there was nothing wrong with the original contract."

"But..."

“Well, it’s almost time for you to return to the material realm.

Li En, Akali, thank you..."

Yunana was saying goodbye when Li En suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait, Yunana!"
