After a few minutes of waiting the disciples finally saw 8 people walking to the stage.
"Look! That's Senior Brother Zhao! He broke through the 5th layer of foundation building realm!" One of the disciples said.
"Those are senior brothers Liu Shen and Liu Chen! The both of them are rumored to be legendary triple affinities cultivators! And they are also not far behind senior brother Zhao because they're at the 4th layer of foundation building realm!" Said another disciple.
"Tha-thats Senior sister Zhang Xin and Yu lan! They look so beautiful! And they are also of the 4th layer!" The female disciples said while cheering for the two of them.
"That's senior Brother Lin dong and behind him is senior brother Sun Wu! They are said to be the greatest sword cultivators among all of us disciples! And Senior Lin dong is also rumored to have comprehended the art of the sword at a high level!" A sword cultivator said while looking at them with a hint of reverence.
"Its brother Yu lang he looks so cool! He is said to be the very first disciple that sect master has taken in the sect!" A girl fan of Yu lang said while blushing.
All of the disciples talk among themselves to determine who might be the winner some said that it will be Zhao Fu some said that it can also be Yu lang. some even said that maybe Sun Wu would be a dark horse and can even be among the top 3!
After the eight of them arrived on the stage Xiao long then also walked up in the stage and started explaining the rules." I Thank all of you for attending the first tournament for our foundation building realm disciples. All of you are given numbers from 1-8 the disciple that gets the number 1 token will be temporarily the 1st placer and if someone wants to move up in the rankings they will have to challenge the disciple with a higher ranking than them. The competition will only end when the cultivators battled 2 times. If the cultivator is already contended with his ranking and wouldn't want to fight anymore it is also acceptable and if the disciple is also in 1st place he can also not use his remaining battle chances for the ranking.
Xiao long then showed a box to the 8 disciples and signaled them to get a number in the box. After all of them got a number everyone was surprised to see that Sun Wu had the number 1 token in his hand!
Sun Wu just smiled wryly and sighed. And then looked at the other disciples and saw that Liu Chen got the number 2 token, while Liu Shen got the number 3, Yu lang is number 4, Zhang Xin is number 5, Yu lan is number 6, Lin dong is number 7 and Zhao Fu is number 8!
"Now that all of you got your number we will now start the competition. Our first challenger will be the one who got the number 8, then number 7 and so on and so forth. There is a time limit of 30 minutes for every battle and if the battle isn't decided yet after the 30 minutes are up it will be considered as a draw.Now Zhao Fu please choose your enemy." Xiao long said while backing down from the stage.
"I choose brother Lin dong." Said Zhao Fu while looking at Lin dong with a smile. After Zhao Fu said that all of the disciples except Zhao Fu and Lin dong left the stage.
"Brother Zhao this is our second fight. Don't expect me to lose as fast as the last fight we had." Lin Dong said while smiling and drawing out his sword.
"Hoh... don't expect me to lose that easily also Brother Dong. On our last fight I only managed to defeat you because I caught you off guard, but this time I want to fight you in your best condition and prove that I can also defeat you fair and square." Zhao Fu said with a smile.
"The both of you get ready! On the count of three the match will begin!" Xiao long said while the two got ready.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
Swoosh! As Xiao long said three the two of them started to clash! At the first bout all that Zhao Fu could do was dodge Kin Dong's sword strike for they really were too precise! But suddenly just as Lin dong was about to land the first hit on Zhao Fu he suddenly vanished and appeared at the side of lin dong his hand moving towards Lin Dong's face but Xiao long backed away from him just as he was about to be hit.
The two of them we're super fast! It's only been a few seconds but they've already exchange clashes a dozen of times already!
after 20 minutes the battle still hasn't finished! And you can see that both Zhao Fu and Lin dong are already panting heavily.
"You've improved once again brother Zhao!" Lin dong said while panting and backing away from Zhao Fu.
"The same goes for you Brother Dong! Even if I'm 2 layers higher than you, you can easily battle it out with me." Zhao Fu said while also panting and backing away from Lin dong.
The crowd we're shocked! Both of them were super strong! Stronger than what they've imagined! Although the both of them we're strong everyone can see that Zhao Fu has the advantage because he has a higher cultivation base than Lin dong!
"I think this is enough for our warm up brother Dong. It's time to go all out!" Zhao Fu said while channeling all of his energy and transforming to his Son of Space form!
"Then be prepared brother Zhao!" Lin dong said while also transforming to his sword saint form.
The audience were shocked at what they heard! "Go all out!? Does that mean they weren't serious before!?" The audience thought to themselves.
"Hah!" Boom! The both of them shouted at the same time and their cultivation base rapidly rose! Zhao Fu from the 5th layer suddenly became 7th layer of the foundation building realm! And Lin dong also rose from 3rd layer foundation building realm to 5th layer foundation building realm!
"Why don't we settle our match with a single move like we did last time?" Lin dong said to Zhao Fu.
"Hoh... I was actually thinking the same thing brother Zhao. On the count of three!" Zhao Fu said while readying to attack.
The both of them then started counting together.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
Boom! It was too fast! Both Zhao Fu and Lin dong are already facing each other's back!
But there can only be one winner! Who will it be!? Xiao long saw everything clearly then said."the winner is..."
