Zi Ya heard the Emperor raise his arms then the old referee yelled " Begin " And suddenly *BOOM* The ground below Callion exploded as he jumped towards her in a flash with his right hand retracted and covered with a bright blue light, The old referee looked at Callion's speed with an incredulous expression he has the order of not stopping the battles no matter what, it will depend on the participants, not him, so still knowing the outcome he didn't interfere. Callion didn't know if Zi Ya was from a Big Sect he was going to cripple her, that technique that Shallot has must be his no matter if he had to cripple every opponent on his way he has to do it before Chen Kai
Zi Ya's pupils shrink unable to do anything to the incoming Callion and suddenly *BOOM* *CRACK* A thick and tall Ice wall appeared between them and Callion hit the wall with a lot of strength, the thick Ice wall cracked but it conserved its form. The old referee locked surprised at the wall, he thought that Zi Ya was gonna die but that wall saved her life, he turned to see the one who created that wall, and when he saw her floating in the sky his face was filled with surprise
Zi Ya fell on her butt keeping a shocked expression under her veil, she knew that if he would have hit her she would be dead right now with her body exploded by the amount of strength he put in that punch, so she was grateful to her savior she turns to see an old woman floating near the platform, her Supreme Elder Feng Gengxin and a small smile appeared on her face
' That Bastard, he really tried to kill her ' Thought The emperor with a frowning expression while his father Wang Yong and Ren Bao only frowned seeing the result, they didn't expect less from some like them
' Shame, I wanted to see some blood ' The small savage-looking young man thought with a grinning face
The whole place went silent those who disdained Callion were in shock unable to believe the speed and strength that he showed and most of them began to think that he was using a technique to hide his true cultivation realm, after all even those in the Advanced State of the Spirit Ocean Transformation realm weren't that fast
" What the hell?! " Said Callion as he took out his buried fist from the Ice wall, he turned to see Feng Gengxin with anger, and then a loud laugh broke the silence
" Haha, You idiot with that kind of strength she would have exploded, get your ass down here! You already won! " Shallot said with a cold grin then he turned to see Feng Gengxin making a mocking face while she only bowed her head with a frustrated expression
The old referee makes a serious expression after Shallot's words and he finally says " Zi Ya has been disqualified for a third-party interference, the winner is Callion from the Saiyan Sect!! "
Callion grits his teeth in anger despite the old referee's remark he blamed Feng Gengxin for putting her nose in the battle so he turns to see her floating in the sky and whispers " F*cking old hag " Then he walks away
" Did you see that, brother Kang?! " Said a white-clothed young man with a sword in his back
" Barely, that guy is not only fast he is powerful as well, he managed to damage the Ice wall made by the Supreme Elder of the Luhe Palace " Another one dressed in black and with a sword in his waist answered with a serious expression
" I think it was just luck, Elder Feng didn't have the time to make a thick wall " The first young man responded with an awkward smile
" I don't know " The young man named Kang responded keeping his eyes on Callion which made the white-clothed young man a little nervous
" ... " Near those two was Jin Zhong wearing white clothes and a strange red and black sword on his back, his eyes were completely focused on Callion he looked calm so no one who was seeing him could know what he was thinking
On the balcony, the former Emperor Wang Yong frowns looking at Callion then he says " As expected, he is the most dangerous of the two, he turns to see at his right looking at Ren Bao, and with a serious voice he says " Brother Ren, the only one who can kill him seems to be Jin Zhong, even the other members of your sect look insignificant before him "
Ren Bao nods seeing Jin Zhong near the platform trying to guess what he would do once he faced Callion in a battle, he was sure that despite giving him a King Tier weapon he would have to give his all against him not leaving him a chance to respond
Below the platform, Zi Ya walked towards their Sect companions and bowed to Feng Gengxin who was near them saying with a nervous voice " Grandmaster, thank you for saving me "
" You don't need to thank me child " Feng Gengxin answered with a warm smile which made Zi Ya smile under her veil, then one of her martial sisters said in a cold, but angered voice " That bastard, he had the full intention to kill you "
" ... " Zi Ya nods and looks at Callion with resentment but as well she blames herself for underestimating him, he was far stronger than she guessed, and that almost cost her her life
Meanwhile, Callion walked to Shallot and Chen Kai with Sallot smirking at him as he walked towards him " Haha, you failed, idiot, you used too much energy in the attack "
" Tch! " Callion clicks his tongue in annoyance and crosses his arms looking at the platform with a frowning expression
Chen Kai looks at Shallot for a second then he looks at the platform seeing the next participants climb it then he thinks ' So, too much Ki isn't necessary, then... what do I have to do? Even if I use the correct amount of Ki it won't be enough ' Then Chen Kai opened his eyes in realization and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face ' I think I know what to do '
Shallot smirks at the two guys on the platform and thinks ' That brat from the Luhe Palace was disappointing but the two above the platform are from the big sects as well, the black-clothed one is from the Heavenly Sword Sect if he passes it will be a good challenge for the skinny brat, but first he has to pass that guy from the Bai Sect, knows for there beast assimilation technique, it's almost like a Kaio-ken '
The old referee raised his voice this time instead of the Emperor " The next contest will be between Zeng Kang from the Heavenly Sword Sect and Shao Yimu of the Bai Sect!! "
Zeng Kang was a tall handsome young man with long dark blue hair and green eyes, he had a silver sword on his waist, while Shao Yimu was quite small compared with him, his hair was long purple but it looked more like animal fur than human hair and he has gray eyes and wears dark blue loose clothes they must be twice his size
" Thanks to this tournament I will be able to fight a beast from the Bai Sect " Zeng Kang said as he raised his guard grabbing the sword on his back with both hands
Shao Yimu smiled like a maniac and his nails took a sharp form, his fangs grew longer and his hair looked more pointy, he was even slightly taller, then he said with a voice that sounded almost like a growl " Indeed I always wanted to fight someone from a big sect, hehe "
Lang Lin below the platform looks at Teacher Shen and asks with a serious expression " Who do you think will win Teacher Shen "
Teacher Shen makes a serious expression looking at both " It's hard to say both of them are in the Advance Realm of Spirit Ocean Transformation state, but their techniques are far something to consider, While Zeng Kang has his all-mighty sword intent, the boy Shao Yimu has the beast assimilation technique, both increased their strengths in different ways, so the winner will be decided by who makes the first mistake "
Yuan Ning looks at the platform with surprise saying " I wonder if any of them will be able to pass that crazy guy from Chen Kai's sect "
The old referee looked at both participants and said " Are you two ready? " And when both of them nodded the old referee said " Then begin the fight " As the crowd cheered with enthusiasm Shao Yimu jumped at Zen Kang running like a beast using his arms and legs to do it
Zen Kang waited until Shao Yimu got closer but suddenly he jumped into the air and kept his maniac grin he swung his right hand while saying " Great Tiger Slash! " his sharp nails shone and five energy vertical waves traveled toward Zen Kang
" ... " Zen Kang keeps his serious expression and jumps to his left side while the five waves cut the platform then he attacks Zen Kang with the same technique again and again, Zen Kang, evades all the attacks until jumps towards Shao Yimu and swings his sword from up to dawn and *CLANK* Shao Yimu stops his attack using his low nails that now looked more like claws even his hands were more furry and beast-like
Zen Kang noticed that and he kicked Shao Yimu in the stomach making him the platform with his back but in an instant, he bounced and spun landing on one leg and seeing Zen Kang with a wide grin showing his sharp teeth
Zen Kang lands a few meters in front of Shao Yimu and the crowd cheers at the two contesters, Callion smirks at mockingly at that and thinks ' Haha, they thought that that was good? that wasn't even interesting ' Even if the battle he witnessed lasted less than 3 seconds Callion saw them move very slow
Shao Yimu once again put his hands on the ground and ran against Zen Kang, and Zen Kang made a serious expression as he saw Shao Yimu changing once again he was as big as him then *ZOOM* he disappeared from his eyesight, and *PUM* " Ugh " Shao Yimu headbutts him in the stomach and just when he was about to fly away he grabs his leg and *BANG* " Agh! " He slams him into the ground destroying the part of the platform where he crashed " Haha " Shao Yimu and slammed Zen Kang once again at the other side, he did that a couple of times until he released him
Shao Yimu grinned evilly and prepared his claws to price Zen Kang who was still on the ground " Die " he said and *SWOOSH* *BANG* But he hit the platform, he smiled as he pulled his hand off the ground
Zen Kang cleans the blood from his mouth and thinks ' He got stronger, it seems that I have to give more than I intended to, but that could be a problem for later ' Zen Kang wasn't planning to use any Sword intent Techniques against Shao Yimu, he wanted to hide all of them until he faces Callion then Shao Yimu looks at him and says " I know what are you thinking if you don't fight me with your all I will kill you!! " Then he ran again towards Zen Kang
Zen Kang seeing that grabs his sword tightly and then moves his sword to his right side, the sword begins to release a white light and smoke, and with a whisper, he says " Luminous Sword Slash " And he swings his sword from right to left in a blink then a flash illuminate the platform for a second
When the light disappeared an energy wall vibrated at the edge of the platform it seemed that the attack had a wide range and if it continued it could have killed the expectant crowd
" Ugh... " Shao Yimu vomited a big mouthful of blood and looked at his chest where a big and wide cut appeared he tried to jump to avoid it but he still received the impact. Shao Huan falls to his knees and vomits more blood
After that attack Callion began to look at Zen Kang with different eyes, the sword intent he showed was something serious he had fought and even killed swordsmen who were proud of using the sword intent but neither of them was at the level that Zen Kang displayed, suddenly he smiled wanting to fight Zen Kang already
Zen Kang looks at him with a serious expression then he says " Refeere I think he can't continue anymore, you should end this "
The old referee looks at Shao Yimu but doesn't say anything so Zen Kang looks at Shao Huan and looks shocked then " ROAR!! " Shao Yimu roars and his whole body changes he is now 3 meters tall and his skin is orange with black stripes, he has turned into a humanoid tiger. The cut on his body looks smaller and the bleeding has stopped
" Damn it! " Zen Kang said and prepared to attack once again but *SWOOSH* *BANG* " ARGH!! " Shao Yimu Charges against him in a flash and hits him with his big muscular shoulder, Zen Kang is sent flying, and *BANG* he hits a second energy wall below the platform preventing him from flying forward towards the spectators and even the other participants who were watching below
" ROAR!! " Shao Yimu roars once again and then begins to shrink once again looking like a small young man once again he scratches the cut in his chest and with a cocky grin he says " I win "
" The winner is Shao Yimu! from the Bai Sect! " The old referee said and the crowd began to applaud and cheer his name
" Hmm? " Ren Bao frowns on the balcony while Wang Yong said to him " Impressive, that little kid from the Bai Sect has amazing control over the Beast Assimilation Technique, the last one I saw someone with that amazing control was Emperor Rong, but he still lacks something "
Ren Bao nodded slightly and said " Indeed, this kind of control makes him jump a realm in strength but Emperor Rong was able to jump three or four realms at the time, the bad thing about it was the berserker state he went through when he did that "
" The Golden Tyrant was able to kill him so easily because of that, a mindless beast won't be able to win against some like him " Wang Yong nods with a frowning expression remembering the past
Below some guards went to help Zen Kang while Shao Yimu was walking down the platform he turned to see Callion and grinned coldly. Callion smirks as he thinks ' Interesting '
Chen Kai kept his calm and an uninterested expression then he felt that someone was watching him again, but this time came from a different position a position where a very familiar energy came so he turned to see to his left and on top of a nearby building, he noticed Ying Yue and a green-haired woman looking at him. Chen Kai's eyes turned cold and he ignored her focusing all his attention on the next battle
------------------------------------------------------
On the top of that building, Ning Qingyan looked at Ying Yue, and with a happy voice she said " Let's go, we still have one place to go "
Ying Yue looks at her and says calmly, " We won't stay until the end of the tournament? "
Ning Qingyan shook her head and said " No need, the winner will be decided between Callion or Dakon there is no doubt about it " Ying Yue looked at her with amazement and turned to see Chen Kai one last time, he didn't seem to be that much but Callion was that as well and she saw what happened in his combat against Zi Ya, she looked at him for a couple of seconds, after all, she couldn't help to sense some kind of familiarity with him. Suddenly he turned to see her, noticing her eyes on him but he just gave her the cold shoulder something that took her by surprise erasing those thoughts of familiarity after all no one she knew would ignore her like that so she walked toward Ning Qinyang and took her extended hand and both of them vanished in an instant
