Chapter 24 - Tournament Begins

Tian and Zhang Tie trained diligently for the next two weeks. Well, Tian was more like sleep cultivating, which shocked Zhang Tie. Tian wanted to help Zhang Tie to cultivate using his meridians, but he had to wait till Zhang reaches Blood refinement realm, as he would be able to control his spiritual energy in the body cultivation realm.

Tian tried to open his second meridian, but was unable to do it no matter how hard he tried. The time for ranking battle was near, so he helped Zhang Tie to break through to 7th layer of body refinement. With this, Zhang Tie would have the power to protect himself

Breaking into blood refinement was like crossing over a huge gulf, not everyone was able to breakthrough between stages. They have to cross their bottlenecks in cultivation.

"What I'm about to teach you is a battle technique called 'Lightning Foot Steps', this will improve your speed beyond your cultivation level. This technique can help you even in your future cultivation levels"

"When practiced to first stage, your speed will be nearly equal to that of bullet. In the second level you can run faster than sound. The third level allows you to become as fast as lightning. The fourth level...lets talk about it when you master the third level", Tian taught Zhang Tie the Lightning Foot Steps to get him ready for the ranking battle.

Zhang Tie was not able to reach first level, but his speed has increased tremendously. He was twice as faster than before.

The next day, at the ranking battles of middle class, Zhang Tie overwhelmed every student and was able to secure his ranking as 1st place from the beginning. People were amazed to find the young kid to be able to break through to 6th layer of body refinement.

When it all ended, Zhang Tie was able to get his eligibility to participate in the ranking battles of higher class.

"Who do you think is going to win this time?"

"Obviously it'll be Han Yan, he had already broken through to 6th layer of blood refinement. No one can defeat him now"

"Hmph....you guys don't know anything. Cheng Lu has already broken through to 7th layer and with all the resources provided by Cheng clan, do you think anyone will be able to defeat him"

The crowd began to discuss, predicting the battles that are about to start.

The host walked onto the stage and talked about various rules and restrictions in the tournament. He then started to speak about the rewards, "The prizes of of the tournament have kept on becomming better and better each year. All those who are able to get into top 30, will get 150 million and a Purple Spirit Potion. Those in the top 10 will get those and also will get Earth Spirit Potion. The top three rankings will get all those and the also get to stay in spirit pool of Huang city for 8 hours. First place will receive a Rising Sun Pill"

As soon as the host explained the rewards, everyone started to discuss intensely.

"Alchemy Pills can only be made by those above Alchemy Master Level. I didn't knew that the academy was able to take out such a rare thing as a reward"

"Those in top three will be able to enjoy a good 8 hours inside the spirit pool, guess how much they can improve inside there"

There were three battle rings in the tournament. The students will be matched with each other and the winners will be paired again to fight against each other. This goes on till the last match. The hover screen displayed the pairing of the matches.

While Tian was getting ready to battle, the six brothers were watching the tournament sitting along the other clans of Huang city.

Tian took the stage to fight, it was someone on fourth layer of blood refinement. The opponent looked at Tian, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. He thought that Tian didn't know much about battles and battle techniques, so he was confident on his victory.

"It would be better if you walk off the stage kid. Else you are going to suffer fate worse than hell in my hands", he swung his arms and as soon as the host signaled the start of fight, he jumped towards Tian to take a punch.

The next moment he opened his eyes, he was stuck onto the wall below the seating area like a pan cake. He didn't even know how he got there. Everyone was speechless, there was utter silence. Even the host didn't understand what happened.

"Host, can i get down the stage now?" Tian said, as he yawned.

"Ye...yes...Wang Tian has won the match!", the host declared in a fumbling manner.

The next few matches, no one was able to match Tian's power level. Even those in fourth layer of blood cultivation lasted only a few seconds on the ring.

The six brothers were happy beyond words. They were completely mesmerized by their young master's way of fighting. Number Three's eyes were shining like stars as he watched the matches.

Zhang Tie only lasted for 6 rounds, he was able to defeat those under blood refinement realm. But when he was paired with first layer blood refinement realm student, he wasn't able to last more than a minute on the ring.

The audience were surprised to find Zhang Tie's abilities to fight opponents above his cultivation realm and able to stand his ground against them. If given more time and care, he'll definitely become very strong cultivator in the future. Many clans were planning to rope him in, after the tournament is completed.

The main attraction of the tournament were not Zhang Tie or Tian. It was the fights between the students who came from the clans inside Huang city. Cheng Lu was the main attention grabber among them. He was 17 and had already reached 7th layer of blood refinement, he was only a step away from reaching Energy Advancement realm.

For the audience, the rankings were already decided. First place would be Cheng Lu. For the Second, third and fourth places Han Yan, Huang Fan and Xi Xiu who were in 6th layer of blood refinement, would be competing.

Tian kept on defeating his opponents left and right. Even 5th layer blood refinement realm opponents only lasted about a 30~40 Seconds. Tian always went back to take a nap after defeating his opponents, which made the defeated people even more enraged.

What the others didn't knew was that Tian was cultivating while sleeping, only Zhang Tie understood that. Zhang Tie's lips were twitching with Tian's actions. He didn't know what he could say.

The Host announced the next match, "Wang Tian vs Huang Fan!"
