Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

'This guy is the one that attacked Night, right? It will be fun to see him get defeated by the same Night,' Ning thought.

"You!" Yacius said as he remembered who the person in front of him was. "I will get you for that time," he said and brought out his monster.

Ning was getting ready to see the Iron Gorilla, but instead what came out was a large green Mantis. 'What? These guys again? Where is the gorilla?' Ning said in surprise.

He had forgotten that outer sect disciples could register up to 2 beasts in the competition and switch between them. Now, he knew it.

"That mantis's ranking is quite high, isn't it?' he was surprised to remember that the monster he had fought wasn't a weak one. He quickly checked its cultivation and names.

Green Reaper Mantis - 3rd Qi Condensation realm

'Sh*t. That's actually quite high. It's the same as Night, and they are fast too.' Ning was starting to worry a little now. 'Hopefully, the elders will come to stop if it gets too bad.'

"FIGHT"

The mantis immediately rushed forward with its scythe-like arms and slashed towards Night. Night, however, flew up and dodged it. He then rushed in at an incredible speed to scratch at the mantis, but the mantis wasn't slow either.

It dodged back and slashed at Night.

"Air Blade," Yacius screamed from the side. Suddenly, the mantis crossed both of its scythe-like arms and swiped the air at an incredible speed. Suddenly, Air in front of the mantis flew out towards Night; it was sharp enough to hurt Night.

'Oh no, that's like my Air Cutter,' Ning realized and immediately ordered Night to fly far away. With incredible speed, Night flew out of the direction and range of the flying air blade and missed it completely.

"Blinding Gusts"

"Air Twister"

Two commands were sent out at the same time. Night started sending gusts of prickly air towards the mantis in hope of blinding it, and the Mantis started spinning rapidly in hopes of creating a small tornado.

Due to the tornado, the gusts of air never made it's way to the mantis, while Night was too good at flying to be affected by such little winds.

They were at a standstill now. Ning started to worry if he could ever even harm the mantis. 'Night will have to get close,' he thought. Ning didn't really know how Night fought to be honest and was going only by what Night's skills were.

'He hunts on his own every night, should I…?' he wondered.

"Backstab!" Yacius screamed. Suddenly, the mantis rushed towards Ning.

'What?' Ning got surprised and was ready to defend himself, when suddenly the mantis changed direction and jumped up, towards Night. It was really going to stab Nigh on the back.

Ning got scared and was ready to say something when Night flew out of the place at incredible speed on its own. 'Oh thank god. Of course, it knows how to fight on its own.'

"Night, fight by yourself," Ning finally said without hesitation.

As if he was finally given free rein to do whatever he wanted to, Night immediately increased its speed and flew around the arena until it was nothing but a black blur in the sky.

"You… You… I know you. You are that bird from last time," Yacius said as he finally remembered the black blur.

Night suddenly changed direction and flew towards the mantis. Ning thought he saw something. As if an afterimage left behind by the incredible speed, it looked like there was a trial of blackness behind Night.

TING

A metallic sound rang as Night's talon was stopped by the elder's sword. "Fight over, You win" the elder pointed at Ning and said.

'Wha..' Ning didn't even see when the elder had moved. Night alone was already fast enough for him to keep a track of, but now the elder was basically teleporting too.

'Holy Sh*t, just how strong can cultivator's get?' he wondered.

"Come back, Night," he said. Night came flying back to him and started complaining, "Bad Man. Foot. Pain. Again."

"Hmm…" Ning said as he checked Night's foot and realized the skin had split open from the impact against the elder. 'Just how fast was he?' Ning wondered.

"Sigh, I don't have energy to waste buddy. We will have to heal you the old-fashioned way. I could go to the beast care guys, but I actually want to visit the city again. Maybe go to those Buddhist healers," he said.

He was already in the top 16 now. If his cultivation base was at the 4th Qi Condensation realm, he could've become an inner sect disciple. However, he wasn't at that level yet, and seeing as there was no prize for the participants aside from the top 3, he decided to quit the tournament.

He let the elders know about that and left the arena site. In fact, he left the sect itself. Around a few minutes later, he arrived at the gate of the city.

Using his identification from Mist Origin Sect, he walked in without paying anything. He walked the streets of the familiar city, one which he knew like the back of his hand.

Soon he was in the city center, where he found the physician's guild. The different guilds were around each other and were quite close to the Pure Cleansing sect.

He saw the beast tamer's guild, but he still walked into the physician's guild since he needed a healer first. He walked up to the reception where a young man with a bald head was patiently waiting for people.

"Hello, do you guys help wounded beasts as well?" he asked.

"Of course, dear customer. We help any and all that requires help," the receptionist spoke.

"Oh," he said and quickly called out Night from the beast pouch he was stored in. "His leg has been injured, can you heal him?" he asked.

"Of course, let me call someone to take you inside," the bald guy said, and so Ning waited.
