*SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* Chen Kai continued to evade the ice puppets' attacks as they attacked him relentlessly. His body was covered with cuts and stabs where the blood came out, despite that he was keeping a calm expression as he *ZOOM* *ZOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* He threw multiple Ki blasts that destroyed the Ice puppets the moment they exploded
The explosions caused by his Ki blasts keep the ice storm away, but it keeps returning, and that's not all ' They are coming back again ' Chen Kai thought with a frowning expression as he saw that the snowy storm repaired those ice puppets he destroyed with his Ki blasts, they even created more, the 20 puppets had turned into 40 in just a small time
' This is useless, if I don't defeat that woman they will never stop coming back ' Chen Kai thought with a serious expression as he felt He An's energy in the distance
Then *BANG* he jumps towards her but *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* Immediately five ice puppets block his way attacking him from different directions. These puppets, despite being so fragile against Ki attacks, they were very fast, so Chen Kai had to deal with them first before trying to advance toward He An, but that gave her the time to take some distance to *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* ' Damn, again ' Chen Kai thought as he evades multiple Ice Spears that He An sent but as he does that *STAB* " Agh " Chen Kai made a pained expression when an Ice Pupped stabbed his right thigh
*BOOM* Chen Kai hits the Ice puppet that stabbed him shattering it into pieces, and then he jumps back taking some distance from the others ' Damn it ' Chen Kai thought as he sees his bleeding thigh. The stab wasn't very deep, just like his other wounds, so he could still move without a problem, yet he was bleeding slightly, it seemed that these ice puppets weren't strong enough to seriously injure him
------------------------------------------------
Below the platform
The crowd observed the fog with expressions of awe and doubt, they couldn't see anything, but occasionally they saw fierce explosions illuminating the fog from the inside " What is happening there? " A young woman in the crowd whispered " Agh, I want to see! " A man near her said in frustration looking at the platform
While the Luhe Palace group looked at the fog without saying a word *BOOM* *BOOM* They saw the explosions, and they clenched their fists slightly. Feg Gengxin makes a serious expression as she thinks ' That little girl hasn't fully mastered the technique yet and still she can maintain it this long, the problem is that those puppets of hers are too weak to manage to do something to him '
Feng Gengxin seemed to be the only one able to see through the fog, not even Wang Yong and Ren Bao could do it, yet she decided to don't say anything about that to the young women around her, maybe she didn't want to make them more nervous as they are now
Meanwhile, Callion frowns in annoyance, he is crossing his arms and his finger is tapping his arm ' Why is he taking so long? She isn't even strong '
Shallot who was near him smiled slightly as he thought ' I told him to not abuse his Zenkai too much, but it seems that he is targeting that when he decided to fight that girl in the same conditions, the brat isn't caring about the consequences anymore '
------------------------------------------------
On the platform
Elder Qiu looked at the silhouettes caused by the explosions with a serious expression, he as well couldn't see anything of what was happening, yet he knew that Chen Kai wasn't trying to kill He An and that his energy hadn't increased at all, so he stayed still until he could feel any changes in his energy
*SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* Chen Kai on the other hand keeps evading the attacks from the ice puppets and He An, as *BOOM* *BOOM* he destroys them continuously. Chen Kai was getting used to not feeling the ice puppets' energies, he kept his alert on the sounds they made as they moved so the amount of damage he received was reduced considerably, that's when Chen Kai decided to put an end to the battle
Chen Kai jumped back slightly and crossed his arms then " Ha! " He yelled as he moved his arms to the sides and *BOOM* a very strong air stream came out from his body, causing the snowy storm to disappear
" Agh... " He An covers her face with her arms crossed in front of her, yet the wind pushes her back slightly, while Elder Qiu just closes his eyes keeping his hands on his back
Below the platform, those who were near it felt the strong wind coming from the platform, and some closed their eyes by instinct. The members of the Luhe Palace saw the platform and Zhou Zhenya said " What was that?! "
Then Zi Ya points at the platform and says " The fog has disappeared! " making Feng Gengxin and the other young women look at it in worry, seeing that
" Hey, look at that! " " Woah, what are those? " The people on the stands look at the platform in surprise, looking at the large number of ice puppets there, there must be at least 70 of them, all gathered around Chen Kai aiming their ice weapons at him
" Well, look at that " Shallot said with a smirk looking at the platform while Callion frowned looking at the ice puppets
Meanwhile, on the balcony, Wang Yong and Ren Bao look at the platform with serious expressions while the emperor said in surprise " He dispelled that fog, how did he do that? "
" He used his strength to create a strong current of air, that's how, yet, those puppets, they are too many of them and it seems that he is injured " Ren Bao said with a serious expression
" That old woman. She taught Empress Xuefeng technique to that girl, but now that she is exposed, how she will act? " Wang Yong said with a neutral expression then Lan Zexi said " He is doing something "
On the platform, He An looked at Chen Kai in surprise then *ZOOM* Chen Kai jumped into the air and *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* He sent a barrage of Ki blasts to the ice puppets on the ground and *BOOM* *BOOM* the explosions destroyed more than half of the ice puppets and even the platform was affected
He An looks at the explosions in surprise then Chen Kai lands and jumps towards her, making her grit her teeth in frustration. The remaining Ice puppets chased Chen Kai from behind, but they had the same speed, so they couldn't catch him as before
He An dashes away trying to create some distance between her and Chen Kai until her ice puppets arrive, she knows that despite the same level of strength Chen Kai has a stronger physique so she will be in danger if he attacks her
Chen Kai manages to get close to He An despite her outstanding speed, He An grits her teeth in anger and *SWOOSH* she attacks Chen Kai with her extended index fingers saying " Divine Crystal Daggers! "
Chen Kai raised his left arm to block He An's attack, she touched his forearm with her right index finger and *PIERCE* Ice crystals pierced it making Chen Kai frown in pain
Chen Kai used that moment to grab He An's right arm, and he pulled her hard enough to turn her around, then when he was giving him her back, Chen Kai put his left palm on her back and pointed his right palm at the incoming Ice puppets and *BOOM* He shoots a Ki blast blowing all of them in pieces
He An heard that feared for her life " Don't do it!! " Yelled Zhou Zhenya with anger even Feng Gengxin gritted her teeth, but she didn't move, Elder Qiu looked at Chen Kai in surprise thinking that he was about to do the same to her, he was the only one he could stop him, but before he could move *BANG* a strong wind blew He An away until she fell out of the platform
" Ack... " He An lands on the ground below the platform and turns to look at Chen Kai with a confused expression, she thought he was going to kill her, but he just pushed her away
Elder Qiu smiles in Chen Kai's direction while Chen Kai sees He An and says " That was fun " Then Elder Qiu yells " He An fell from the platform, the winner is Dakon of the Saiyan Sect! "
The crowd for the first time cheered for Chen Kai's saiyan name, as he walked down the platform keeping a calm expression " You saw that? That guy is amazing " " Yeah, I thought he was a ruthless killer, but he destroyed those Ice things and dealt with that beautiful girl of the Luhe Palace almost at the same time "
He An looks at Chen Kai leave and a small smile appears on her beautiful face as she thinks ' Next time, I won't lose ' Then she stands up and walks towards the Luhe Palace Group while Wang Jun frowns at her in the distance thinking ' Useless b*tch, he didn't do anything to him than superficial damage, it seems that I will be the one who will kill him ' Wang Jun begins to smile cruelly
------------------------------------------------
On the balcony, the Emperor, Wang Yong, and Ren Bao made serious expressions, but neither of them said anything about Chen Kai's victory because in the end they were enemies, and it doesn't matter how he behaves, he is a threat to them and everyone they care about just as Callion and Shallot
But others still hate him to the bone like Lan Xue and her mother Lan Zexi who wished that someone killed him before the tournament ended, even Ying Jie looks at him with hate, he doesn't care what happens to him, he is a threat to her future husband and an obstacle to her sister future, so he needs to die
------------------------------------------------
Chen Kai arrived near Shallot and Callion and ate a Senzu Bean that healed his wounds in an instant, he sees his left hand with a frowning expression and thinks ' I feel a little stronger, but It's not enough '
Shallot smiles and says " Well done brat, you can control your Ki very well for someone who has just started, you can do it even better than this skinny brat here " Shallot points at Callion with a teasing smile which makes Callion snort and ignores him " It doesn't change anything, I'm the strongest " He said with annoyance
Then Elder Qiu on the platform yelled " The battle is over, now we will begin with the quarter-finals! "
Callion smiled cruelly as he said " Finally, it's my turn again " Then he began to walk toward the platform while everyone kept his eyes on him
" It's that monster's turn again " Said a woman in the stands with a serious expression " I wonder if his opponent will fight him after what we saw in his previous fight " A man said in doubt
" Is that guy again " Zi Ya looked at Callion with resentment then she saw the incoming He An and said " Big sister An, are you ok? " He An nods and turns to see Callion on the platform with a frowning expression then she says " I wonder if his opponent will quit or he will face him "
On the platform, Callion arrived first and crossed his arms waiting for his opponent with a small smile on his face, then a young man climbed the platform. The young man has long violet hair and green eyes, he wears a white hanfu and is looking at Callion with a serious expression
" That fool, he really wants to face that monster, what is he thinking? " The Emperor said with anger looking at the young man on the platform
Callion grins mockingly at the young man and says " I thought you would chicken out, just like the rest of the cowards who quit before I could even fight them "
The young man frowns in anger and says " I never quit a battle, besides, you won't be able to kill me here, or you will face the consequences of that act "
Callion snorts coldly and then Elder Qiu yells " The next battle will be between Callion of the Saiyan Sect and Tan Cheng of the Tianyi Sect! "
Callion puts down his arms, keeping a confident smile while Tan Cheng raises his guard looking at him with a serious expression then Elder Qiu looks at them and says " If you two are ready, begin! "
Callion smirks and *ZOOM* he jumps toward Tan Cheng at an amazing speed, then *SWOOSH* Callion throws a powerful punch at Tan Cheng but *PAM* Tan Cheng parries Callion's punch, which makes Callion show a surprised expression then *PUM* Tan Cheng hits Callion in the stomach sending him flying backward
Everyone looked at Tan Cheng in amazement, he managed to hit Callion, the opponent that many thought only Jin Zhong could beat
" Don't underestimate the Tianyi Sect martial arts " Tan Cheng said with a serious expression
Shallot below the platform smiled when he saw Callion on the platform ' That idiot, his opponents are supposed to be a stepping stone for him to improve, but it seems he is eager to pass to the semifinals '
As soon as Shallot said that Callion stood up, and smiled coldly at Tan Cheng then a red aura appeared around his body, and said " I don't want to deal with you any longer " And *ZOOM* Callion disappeared in a flash, and *BANG* " Agh!! " He kicks Tan Cheng in the stomach, making him vomit a mouthful of blood as he flies away from the powerful kick he received then *ZOOM* Callion charges again and *BANG* He hits Tan Cheng again, this time punching strongly in the face
Then *BOOM* Tan Chen hits the second barrier with a lot of force making it tremble by the sole impact of his body then he falls motionless on the ground
" Tan Cheng!! " The Tianyi Sect group ran towards Tan Cheng and when they arrived and checked his condition they looked at him in surprise, then all of them turned to see Callion and yelled " You killed him! You damn monster!! "
Callion looks at the despaired group with a mocking smile, while many see him in shock and fear
