The battles continue, many of them went as Shallot wanted, with only the strongest passing like...
Below the platform was Lang Xue sitting on the ground with a bleeding lip and a frustrated expression " How could I lose? She is from an unknown small sect " After all, she lost her battle against none other than Lang Lin, they may have the same strength, but Lang Lin wasn't like her and used resources to increase her strength, Lang Lin trained hard during the past year fighting beasts and doing missions for her sect all days without taking a break, well he used her spare time to cultivate
" You can only blame yourself for that loss " A woman's voice came behind her, she turned around and saw her mother Lan Zexi, an Old man and a young man behind her, her mother was looking at her with a frowning expression, Lan Xue opened her eyes in surprise then her mother continued " I told you that you weren't ready for the tournament, and you didn't listen, the Realm you reached, was thanks to all the pills and elixirs you used not because of your efforts " Lan Xue bows her head in shame as she stands then she said with a teary face " I'm sorry mother "
Lan Zexi shakes her head and turns around then says " Take this as a good lesson " Then she walks away leaving the old man and the young man behind. Lan Xue grits her teeth and turns to see the young man with teary eyes yet a calm expression. The young man was skinny and tall, his skin was pale yet, his eyes were pale green just like his eyes. Both looked at each other for a second then she walked away following her mother
" Wei'er, remember what the matriarch said in your next combat you have to give all at the start don't be like the little miss that failed the clan " The old man said with a serious expression, he wore dark green clothes and had a long white hair and beard and just like the young man his eyes were pale green
The pale young man nods with a serious expression saying " Yes, Master Tai " Then he smiles sightly liking his lips with expectation
" The next fight will start, the next participants' please come to the platform! " Shouted the old referee and a young man and woman climbed the platform. The young man was quite tall he wore black clothes and had a savage appearance his long hair was made a mess, while the young woman wore light blue clothes and a veil of the same color, her hair was long and aqua blue, her figure as Zi Ya was alluring, and many young men gazed at her with adoration
The two stopped at the center of the platform as the old referee said " The next battle will be between He An from the Luhe Palace and Xian Chao of the Bai Sect! "
" I heard that He An was the strongest of the Luhe Palace " A young woman said with admiration in the stands
" Yes, but remember that those from the Bai Sect had their Beast Assimilation Technique, things will be complicated for her " A middle-aged man responded to her with a serious expression
" Don't say that, Dad " She sees her with annoyance, then she turns to see the platform and yells " You can do it He An!! "
Below the platform, the group of the Luhe Palace looked at He An " You can do it sister " Whispered Zi Ya
" If she wins in the next round, her opponent will be that animal martial brother " Said Lei Zhenya angrily. She was a blue-clothed young woman with an alluring figure and an orange hair
The rest turned to look at the other side of the place where the Saiyan Sect was, their eyes were focused on Chen Kai then Feng Gengxin said with a serious face " He An is the strongest among you, besides, you all now know what kind of people those three are, doubt is a stupid thing to show them "
" Yes, Grandmaster " All of them said at the same time with a respectful expression. Feng Gangxin frowns as she sees He An ' Little girl, don't give them a chance '
On the platform, the old referee makes a serious expression and yells " Begin " Immediately He An's body exudes a cold chilling aura around her and Xian Chao transformed just like Guo Mei, it seems that Shao Yimu was the only one currently able to use a stronger transformation
" Gra! " Xian Chao growls and charges like a beast toward He An who waited for him with her arms open and a white aura moving around her
" Take this!! " Xian Chao punches He An in the face with his right hand and *CLASH* Her body broke like she was made of ice, that surprised Xian Chao who then heard behind him " Curse of the Ice Goddess " After that all the ice that fell from the object that Xian Chao hit moved and pierced his right arm, the ice was extending rapidly covering even more parts from his body " Agh! What the hell?! "
" Fool " Said Shao Yimu below the platform with a scornful expression
He An who was standing Xian Chao extended her index fingers and whispered " Divine Crystal Daggers " A blue aura appeared on them Xian Chao gritted his teeth as he turned around and growled " You b*tch! " He raised his left hand and slashed downwards, creating five purple energy waves that cut the ground and traveled forward until they clashed with the barrier
He An evades the attack easily by moving a few steps to the side then in very fast movements she touches Xian Chao's left arm, shoulder, and legs using only her index fingers, to disappear in a cloud of white smoke and *PIERCE* " AGH!! " Yelled Xian Chao with pain when multiple ice spikes came from every point where He An touched him
Xian Chao fell face to the ground, he managed to stand again, but suddenly his entire body was covered with ice leaving only his head exposed " Agh... damn it.. " He said with gritting teeth
He An walks towards him and closes her right index finger near Xian Chao's forehead Xian Chao looks at her with wide eyes, and she says in a cold voice " You want to continue? "
Xian Chao grits his teeth then he smiles widely and says " You damn woman, I give up " He An puts down her finger and the old referee yells " The winner is He An from the Luhe Palace! " And as soon as he said that *CRASH* The Ice around Xian Chao disappeared, but he fell after all he was still injured by the ice spikes
The crowd cheered for He An while in the balcony the emperor said " Amazing " Then Wang Yong turns to see Ren Bao with a grin and says " As expected from the old woman's first apprentice "
' It seems that this side is easier ' Thought Callion with a scornful expression
Chen Kai looks at He An who climbed down off the platform ' Her strength isn't that outstanding, but those ice techniques are quite impressive '
Then Shallot said " Your turn, brat " Chen Kai nodded and began to walk towards the platform while Callion smirked at him and said mockingly " Try not to lose in the first round, haha " Chen Kai ignored his comment and kept walking
" Now we pass to the final battle of the second group! " The old referee said, and two young men climbed the platform, Chen Kai and Lan Wei, the skinny green-haired young man. The crowd and many other participants stayed silent all having their eyes on Chen Kai, after what Callion showed them they knew that they couldn't underestimate them by their looks
" It's finally his turn, he looks stronger than a year ago " Wuhan said with a serious expression
" Yes, he is, but I can't pinpoint what Realm he is " Said Teacher Shen with a serious expression
Below the platform, Lang Lin looked at Chen Kai with a worried expression ' Kai, beware, he is at the Intermediate State of the Spirit Ocean Transformation, and he is a poison master '
' Show me what you can do, fat bastard ' Wang Jun said with a mocking grin and arms crossed
On the balcony, The emperor sat near Lan Zexi just like Wang Yong and Ren Bao then Lan Zexi said " You think everything will be alright Senior Yong? "
Wang Yong as Ren Bao answers her " In the past, the only thing that managed to hurt the Golden Tyrant was poison techniques, if he is as good as you said he is, then maybe he could even kill him before he could retaliate, so you don't have to worry about your nephew "
Lan Zexi and the Emperor opened their eyes with amazement, thinking ' The Golden Tyrant had that weakness?! Isn't this a good coincidence? ' Behind them, Ying Jie and Lan Xue begin to smile wanting to see the result of the battle
In the middle of the platform, Chen Kai looked at Lan Wei with an uninterested expression while he saw him with a scornful one. The old referee yells once again " The battle will be between Dakon of the Saiyan Sect and Lan Wei of the Lan Clan! "
Lan Wei smiles and says " Are you ready to die " but Chen Kai sees him with a bored expression then the old referee looks at Lan Wei and says " Are you ready? " Lan Wei smiles and nods, then he turns to see Chen Kai and says " Are you ready? " Chen Kai nodded slightly, and the old referee said " Begin! "
Lan Wei grins and jumps back, then he raises his palms slowly as a black aura appears around him
' That's it Wei'er, with that, you will be able to kill him ' Old Tai grinned below the platform, Then Lan Wei pointed his palms towards Chen Kai as he said with a grin " Infernal Poisonous Gas " The black aura extended through the platform in a very fast speed even the old referee was surprised and jumped back but all the onlookers watched Chen Kai stayed still until the black aura swallowed him
" Chen Kai! " Yelled Lang Lin with worry as Teacher Shen, Wuhan, and Yuan Ning made surprised faces
" Take that! " Yelled the emperor with enthusiasm, he wasn't the only one excited Lan Zexi smiled just like Ying Jie and Lan Xue but Ren Bao and Wang Yong frowned with confusion, they knew that he could have evaded that technique easily, even if it was moving that fast, but then both of them realized something ' Don't tell me that they already suppressed that weakness?! ' Then both of them stood from their seats almost at the same time
Wang Jun who was below smiled with disdain and thought ' And that's it for that loser, as I guessed, he is still a piece of thrash '
Lan Wei licked his lips with a smile ' Now show me your corpse ' He put his hands down and the black aura began to dissipate as soon as he did that the smile on Lan Wei's face disappeared replaced with a shocked one, and he wasn't the only one, the entire place was silent
' Impossible ' Old Tai thought with a shocked expression, after all, Chen Kai was intact, without any trace of blood or damage in his body
" Unbelievable, that technique should have melted his flesh to the bones, but he is completely intact, even his clothes are unaffected, what is going on? " Teacher Shen couldn't believe what he was seeing
" That guy isn't human " Wuhan said in amazement while Lang Lin breathed in relief
Wang Jun frowns and puts down his arms to begin to grit his teeth in anger, he knew that if he was the one who receive that poison he would be quivering in pain
On the platform, Chen Kai looked at Lan Wei with a frowning expression and said " I heard about you, you are a poison master's apprentice, but you... you are nothing else than that, and apprentice " After receiving the attack of the Thousand Poisons Assimilation from Elder Jin this poison was useless, after all, how Lan Wei could compare to someone far experienced in poisons
Suddenly *BOOM* Chen Kai jumps towards Lan Wei who shakes in fear then *PUM* " AGH! " Chen Kai hits him very hard in the chest with his left knee making him vomit a mouthful of blood as he feels his rib cage broke, and before he is sent flying Chen Kai grabs his head and *PAM* " Ugh... " He knees him with his right leg right in the face, breaking his nose in the process next *PUM* " Aah! " he grabs his face with his right hand and slams him into the ground cracking the floor a little *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* Chen Kai repeats the process a couple of times more until his head begin to bleed
" I.. i... " Lan Wei still conscious tries to give up but Chen Kai grabs his face with his left hand covering his mouth before he can say more, he raises him above his head to then extend his right hand making his fingers begin to shine in a blue light
" Stop right now!! " Yelled Old Tai with anger knowing what Chen Kai was trying to do but *BOOM* " ...!!!! " Lan Wei screamed in pain under Chen Kai's hand when he hit his stomach, the amount of pain he felt was enough to make him pass out, not without feeling at the last moment how his strength was abandoning his body
Lang Lin covers her mouth in shock unable to believe what she had just seen, he just crippled his opponent's cultivation, not caring at all if he was one of the big clans
" Damn bastard! " Yelled Lan Zexi with an infuriated expression as her daughter and Ying Jie looked at Chen Kai in surprise, this was the same guy they had made fun of in the past, the same guy that acted friendly with them no matter how bad they treated him
" You f*cking bastard, you bested me this time " Callion said with a smile grin and an angered expression
' It seems that the brat discovered the trick first ' Shallot thought with a smirk
Chen Kai felt Lan Wei's energy leaving his body so he smirked with satisfaction then he dropped him and *PAM* he kicked him one more time with a lot of strength he felt how his right arm broke because of that
Lan Wei's body hits the barrier and falls motionless to the ground. Chen Kai turns around and walks away, the old referee sees him with a frowning expression and says " Kid, your brutal ways of acting won't be accepted "
Chen Kai turned to see him with narrowing eyes and said coldly " Oh, yeah? Don't tell me that you are now worried "
Old Tai, who couldn't contain his anger, jumped towards the platform ready to attack Chen Kai. The old referee sees him with surprise but doesn't do anything because of how fast he is moving, The crowd gasped in surprise at the sudden move of the old man
On the balcony, Lan Zexi tried to do the same but Wang Yong grabbed her left arm stopping her from jumping down, she looks at him in surprise but didn't say anything after she saw his serious menacing expression
Chen Kai turned around quickly, feeling the elder's energy moving towards him, so he raised his guard waiting for his attack. Old Tai retracted his arm shinning with a green light and said coldly " Die " but suddenly a *SWOOSH* Caused the entire place to fall silent and the only thing that sounded was *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* from Old Tai's head bouncing on the platform as his headless body stay still
All of them saw the one who decapitated the head in surprise and then the one who did it, Shallot, whose right arm was extended as a red aura was raging around him. Chen Kai saw Shallot appear from nowhere with a shocked expression, he easily killed the old man whose strength must have been in the realm of a Half-Step Spiritual Lord
Old Tai's body fell to the ground a second later and Shallot put his right foot above his corpse in a disrespectful manner, then the red aura around him disappeared, he smiled at the shocked old referee and told him " Hey, old man, why don't you declare the winner already? "
The old referee looked at Shallot with surprise and fear, his speed was far greater than Old Tai and the way he killed him showed that he was too powerful so he hesitated as he said " Oh well, but, there are rules, about what he just had done "
Shallot smirks coldly at him making the old referee tremble then he says " As I saw early he tried to kill him first, didn't he? Besides, the gross brat is still alive, right? "
The old referee turns to see the place where Lan Wei fell with a thoughtful expression, then Shallot says to him " And as I see this, you are the only one who is against it "
The old referee turns to see him in surprise, and Shallot with a smug smile points at the balcony with his right thumb keeping his eyes on him. The old referee turned to see the balcony and looked at the Emperor's serious face, the Emperor nodded at him and the old referee understood it immediately then he yelled " The winner is Dakon from the Saiyan sect!! "
After the announcement Chen Kai walked down the platform but Shallot stayed, he smirked at the balcony then he saw the old referee and told him with a cold smile " Send someone to clean this mess " Then he kicked old Tai's body slightly, and walked down the platform leaving the old referee with a scared expression
On the balcony, Lan Zexi sits down again keeping a terrified expression ' I... I couldn't see him... if Elder Yong hadn't stopped me... I would be dead already ' She bowed her head as her hands kept shaking with fear, after all, Old Tai was just slightly weaker than her. Lan Xue who was behind her saw her with fear and sadness she had never seen her mother acting like that, the monster in human skin that killed Old Tai was the cause of this, so what would happen if Chen Kai kept training with him? She will be in her mother's place? fearing he will come to kill her? Lan Xue grits her teeth with anger at the thought of that and makes a decision that will change her destiny forever
In the stands, the public was in shock about what just happened " Hey, isn't that guy too strong and brutal? " A middle-aged man asked with a nervous smile
Another one turns to see him with the same nervous smile and says " I think we should leave, don't you think? "
Then the Emperor approached the balcony and with a powerful voice he said " The battle we just witnessed is justified, Lan Wei was the first one to try to kill his opponent so Dakon retaliated more softly than him, the same goes for the dead man, he charged at a young competitor, so his master defended him, so it won't be consequences for such actions, now we will proceed with the tournament "
The Emperor's words calmed the audience, but the remaining competitors looked very seriously at the members of the Saiyan Sect
Wang Jun clenched his teeth and fists in anger and frustration, it seems that killing Chen Kai won't be as easy as he thought it would be
" Sister An? " Said Zi Ya with worry, but He An was just looking at Chen Kai without saying a single word
On The other side, Shallot arrived near Callion and Chen Kai, he smirked at Chen Kai and threw the yellow gem towards him as he said " Here is your prize, brat "
Chen Kai catches the yellow gem as Callion says in a cold voice " It won't change anything " And as before, he ignores him, he sees the gem for a couple of seconds and puts it on his forehead, the absorption of the gem is as painful as always but this time he doesn't see a group of images, he only sees a man extending his hands at both sides of his body and the name of the technique, he opens his eyes and with doubt, he whispers " Final Flash? "
