Chapter 47 The Martial Gathering Begins
Sorry for the late update guys. It was exam season, and I could not publish any chapters. But, we won 3rd place in the WPC! That is cause to celebrate. Enjoy the chapter, and if you like it, don't forget to donate a few powerstones.
One by one, the participants from the three biggest clans jumped on to the stage. The stage was full, and the judge resurfaced.
"Now that everyone has appeared, it is time to tell everyone the rules. As you heard right now, this will be quick. All of you on the arena will fight against each other until there are only four remaining. There are no other rules, except that you are not allowed to kill, or seriously injure. I will make sure that nothing too horrible will go on, but swords are swift and unpredictable. If something does happen, then I am not responsible for the after math." the judge said.
"Anyways, regarding the competition itself. All of you will be spaced apart, and the members of the same family will be on opposite ends to ensure a more fair medium. But that does not mean that they will not be able to cooperate with each other. All of that is dependent on their own power. I will not waste any more time. The audience has been waiting for too long already. Let the fight begin!" the judge shouted as he jumped to the air.
I looked at him go up, but he did not descend. He stayed up in the air, in a calm lotus pose, looking down.
"I become strong enough and I can even fly? That's good to know." I made a mental note as I looked around. I did not know how, but all the people around me were ones that I did not recognize. Even though no one gave us any time to shuffle around, there were no two from the same clan together. Everyone was a stranger. Whether this was a coincidence or a planned thing was not up to debate.
Almost everyone within three feet from me lunged towards me. Seeing that I was the main representative from the Liu Family, it was clear that I was the biggest fish here. If I was taken care of, then they would be able to fight with each other with relief.
But they certainly picked the wrong person. Crowd control was a personal favorite of mine.
Blue Dragon Spear Art, third form!
The spear in my hands swept horizontally within seconds. It collided with weapons, and some people directly. Some of them fell off the ring, while others were pushed to the very edge, just waiting to be disqualified.
Dealing with these small fried did not require much of my concentration. I could get by with just my instincts. I looked ahead, across the ring. Bai Zhiqui and the lady from the Cai family were in the same vicinity, but they did not attack each other. They seemed to have an understanding among each other.
"I swear to god, if I had a year of time, I could practically sweep all of these idiots so easily. Everyone has an advantage compared to me." I shouted inside. The Liu Family was being targeted. That much was apparent. Liu Xin and Liu Heng were not having a good time. The Bai and Cai families were just sitting there, not even acting like there was a fight going on, but all the small clans and factions were targeting us!
I gripped my spear further, and swing the spear hard across.
"Aargh!" someone shouted. I could smell the blood that he coughed out, but I was not in the mood for mercy.
"Yui Ching is eliminated." a monotone voice came from above and he immediately disappeared from where he stood.
The crowd was thinning at an alarming pace. I knew that there were nine from the main clans and these were the nine that I had to be most alert about. I looked around. Everyone was no longer rushing towards me like mindless idiots. The previous show of strength was enough to deter them momentarily.
I took this time to catch a few breaths and get a lay of the land.
"Qi condensation stage, Qi condensation stage, everyone seems to be in the Qi condensation stage? Oh wait. There is one in the Foundation Building stage. But he does not seem to be a part of any clan? His name starts with Du? What the hell?" I looked at a very unassuming young man who was standing at the corner.
He did not have anyone attacking him, but I could see that he was getting ready to attack someone himself. His eyes were shifting across. I could feel that he was a dangerous person.
"You should not focus on someone else when there is an opponent right in front of you." I heard a voice from the side. I could feel a strong strike coming towards me.
Clang!
Something hit my side, but it was not painful. Not one bit.
"How is this possible? No damage at all? Wait, is my sword dented?" the same voice was shocked.
"Well, looks like the armor works. Now I know that. Now, what were you saying? Something about focusing on my opponent in front of me? Do you really think that you can handle a full blown attack from a Foundation Establishment expert?" I looked coldly at the man who was attacking me.
"I-I surrender!" he shouted.
"Yu Bo eliminated." the judge's voice rang. Yu Bo disappeared from where he stood, and the ring had one less standing. People were moving away from me, and I could see that the young man that had caught my eyes was the only one remaining. He looked at me.
"You are Liu Feng? The black horse of the Liu Family gathering? I have been looking forward to a fight with you. I think that we should fight. Please." He said politely.
I looked at him carefully.
"Lvl 15
Name - Du Xiangling
Cultivation - Foundation Establishment 2nd layer"
"And where are you from?" I asked. "Not many have a young prodigy in the foundation establishment stage. Especially when you are not a part of any of the three families." I asked.
"I am Du Xiangling. I am from the Martial Tiger Dojo!"
