Chao Sung stared at the collapsed Dong Dong in the private section in view of the arena seething with rage.
"Dong Dong you useless trash!" Chao Sung shouted smashing the glass of wine he was holding on the ground.
"Sir the girl you requested…" a servant sounded appearing at the entrance of the door behind him but upon seeing Chao Sung's red face showing his bad mood immediately turned around saying, "Never mind sir…"
Chao Sung just let the servant leave, not in the mood at all to engage in his usual hobbies.
"That Dong Dong… such a big trash, I can't even get it up because of you…" Chao Sung voiced out to no one in particular.
Dong Dong truly ruined his mood, after all he was part of one of the vassal powers under the Heavenly Noble Sect and was one of his subordinates.
This was why he was particularly incensed as receiving such a beating from a girl with cultivation lower than him has truly slapped his face.
He can already hear everyone mocking him now, "Hey have you heard Chao Sung's Dong Dong is so incompetent? Couldn't even last a few seconds against a girl…"
"Yeah… truly a trash among men though even I got to admit I wouldn't last more than a few moves under her…" voices emerged from the vantage point incensing Chao Sung even further.
'That Dong Dong! I've been letting of his sister Ding Dong for quite some time, guess she will be the one receiving punishment for his failures…'
Chao Sung smirked laughing to himself his mood far better than before.
That was until, "Hey with how incompetent that Dong Dong is how many moves longer you think Chao Sung will last with Dana?"
"Probably just one thrust from Dana will wipe that play boy out, have you seen the guys sword play? His strikes are so limp and weak if it wasn't for his high cultivation I'd knock him out in one move…"
Chao Sung bad mood was reignited further as he heard the mocking voices, screaming in rage he walked to the window and shouted to the crowd, "Think my sword skills are weak… I'll show you when I cut that bitch in two!"
Seeing the crowd staring at him shock and fear at his sudden appearance, Chao Sung smiled viciously until a sweet voice from nowhere shouted, "Please… your going to get pounded senseless into the ground just like Dong Dong!"
A dark look appeared on Chao Sung's face as he thought, 'there are people audacious enough to lecture me in public now, that Dong Dong I'm going make you impotent!'
Turning in the direction of the sweet voice Chao Sung was stunned as he saw one of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
However, her graceful appearance was ruined when at the moment she appeared like some hoodlum standing with an aggressive look on her face lacking any sort of gentleness at all.
'Wait I recognise her? Isn't she that girl standing beside Dana!'
Realising as such he the incensed Chao Sung became calm again as he said, "Oh, I apologise for my outburst but I did not mean to offend your Lady… I was just a bit annoyed by these ants that all…"
Chao Sung elegantly said impressing himself at how handsome he must look right now.
'Lowering my status to apologise to this wild woman… this should impress her right?'
Nonetheless the barbaric woman did not let down as he expected, "Ya'll calling me an ant now are you? After all I was chatting with these so called 'ants' about your 'fearsome' reputation… and you truly look up to it upon meeting you, your sword looks as limp as was told…"
"What? You whor…." Just about when Chao Sung was about to let off a hand appeared on his shoulder interrupting his rant just when he was about to go off at the person behind him, he frozen upon seeing the figure of a handsome middle aged man.
"Master… I…" Chao Sung was about to say but his master instructed him.
"You should learn restraint… these are just a bunch of children, just a few meaningless words, if this bothers you may as well give up cultivating" the Heavenly Noble Sect master said appearing like a wise sage.
The crowd applauded the middle aged man's explanation, after all the heavenly noble sect leader reputation was much better than Chao Sung, the only stain on his name was the trouble Chao Sung caused, yet as most knew the sect master viewed Chao Sung as his own son, his nature wasn't question and he was just viewed as a doting Father who let his spoiled son get away with things.
Only a few would really think deeply that how could a kind person allow even their sons to commit such deeds, but with communication being an issue in this World and the long standing reputation of the Heavenly Noble Sect his image was largely retained, with heavy suppression on all negative news making most only think of Chao Sung as being some lustfull play boy hiding a lot of the evil he has committed.
"Now let's continue with the completion… you can display your dazzling skills there, and demonstrate to all who the best really is among the younger generation…after all words are just words, without the strength to back it up, this is all empty talk." The Heavenly Noble Sect master said his gaze seemingly fixed on the crowd but for some reason Lavendia felt the entire time he was focusing on her.
"Yes Master… looks like the world needs to be reminded of my strength" Chao Sung said eagerly anticipating the moment he crushed Dana beneath his feet, his angered gaze changed into one of contempt as he stared at the crowd beneath him.
Lavendia stared at the middle aged man with great caution upon his arrival as she sensed an enormous amount of danger emitting from him, the pressure felt so great she knew instantly she would stand no chance against him.
A deep sense of fear welled in her, she knew Dana was strong but the feeling this man gave her was much stronger than Dana, 'I hope she knows what's she doing provoking such a monster…'
Meanwhile the competition continued, Dana, Lavendia and Maia dominated their next opponents with no particularly challenging ones appearing.
These matches ended with just one strike, which was entertaining to the crowd at first but soon become boring as Dana just steamrolled her opponents giving them no opportunity to watch a display of her dazzling skills.
Instead most of them just came to watch just to admire her beauty.
And of course how she ruthlessly battered every opponent despite her seemingly lower cultivation.
"Wonder when someone will last longer than one strike against her…" someone muttered.
"I think it will take a while… even Zhu Zhu was knocked it one punch by her…"
"How I wish I could experience the feeling of that gentle fist against my face as I feel my consciousness fade as my surroundings go black…" a shady looking man said.
"Pervert!" A female disciple said with disdain as she looking at Dana with complete reference at her strength.
Dana was seen as a symbol of prestige among female cultivators as she was seen as beacon of hope at gaining the strength to determine their own fate.
The opinions about female cultivators in this region was especially lowly, mainly due to the influence of the Heavenly Noble Sect, instead of being viewed of equal standing of men in sects they were often looked down upon and male disciples with similar talent were favoured.
They are just glad that Dana shown that talented female cultivators also can compete with male cultivators if they were given opportunities.
"These seeded contestants will now move onto the final eliminators to determine the Champion… undefeated cultivators… Chao Sung, Maia, Lavendia… Wing Wong… Dana, will be put against each other to determine the Champion! Special cultivators with few defeats will be given an opportunity to battle it out with the winner having the ability to challenge one of these contestants to steal their place in the final rankings once the Champion is decided!" The announcer shouted, causing the crowd to cry out in enthusiasm
"Damnit! I just had to face Chao Sung, I'm surely stronger than some of those seeds, just got lucky opponents!" A fierce looking man said frustratedly.
"Yes! That Dana only fought that Dong Dong who took a dive because Chao Sung ordered him too! Who could he be fooling with the way he fell over like that, no one looks that stupid getting knocked out!" A rat faced man said still angered at all the money he lost betting on Dong Dong against Dana.
Before the crowd could discuss further, the first match was announced, "Dana vs Garius Zafai"
"Garius vs Dana already?" Someone shouted in excitement.
"Garius is the second favourite behind Chao Sung to win the tournament… surely he defeats Dana, right?" A man said.
"Who knows! But this will surely be a great match up, look at Garius's physique, thick and tight, this guy will surely last more than one move from Dana's fist of death!" A man said excitedly.
