" He is using that technique again, I wonder if he will be able to win with that " Zeng Kang said with a serious expression as the other members of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at the platform with amazement
" He is doing that again " A man in the stands said with a shocked expression " This time his opponent is stronger, he needs to fight with everything he has " Another one near him said with a serious expression
Callion on the platform smiles and says " Again? It will be usele... " *BANG* Callion could finish his sentence when Dakon jumped towards him and hit him in the face, sending him flying backward
Callion spins in the air and lands, then he turns to see Dakon with an angered expression as he cleans the blood from his nose " You bastard " Then he clenches his fists and says " Kaio-Ken " Then a red aura appears around Callion and *SWOOSH* he jumps towards Dakon retráctiles his right fist to hit Dakon and *BOOM* They clashed fists creating a powerful shockwave that destroyed a big part of the platform
" ...?! " Callion this time looked surprised at Dakon who was looking at him with anger ' He got stronger in an instant? '
Callion grits his teeth in anger and *SWOOSH* He attacks Dakon this time with his left fist but *BANG* Dakon catches his left fist with his right hand before he can hit his face
" Agh, bastard " Callion said in annoyance then *GRAB* Dakon grabbed both of Callion's hands making him look surprised, and *PUM* Dakon headbutts Callion making him retract his head while his nose began to bleed
" RAA! " Dakon roared as he raised Callion above his head while he kept a tight grip on his hands then *SWOOSH* *BANG* " Ugh " Dakon slammed Callion on the ground as Callion was unable to react
" Grr " Dakon grits his teeth and releases Callion from his grip then he raises his left leg ready to stomp Callion's head and *BOOM* Callion's aura bursts to make Dakon open his eyes with surprise and *SWOOSH* *PUM* " Gra... " Callion jumps from the ground hitting Dakon's chin with a powerful uppercut that raises him from the ground
Shallot below the platform grins slightly looking at the platform while he thinks ' Kaio-ken times 5? Yet, this is just getting started '
On the platform Callion grabs Dakon's left leg before he could react wanting to slam him into the ground yet he noticed that the green aura around Dakon's body grew bigger and instead Dakon raised his leg while Callion was still grabbing him
" ...?! " Callion showed a surprised expression once again and *SWOOSH* Dakon moved his leg in a flash and Callion was sent flying towards the ground *BANG* " Agh! " Callion yells in pain as he crashes back first on the ground and a second later *BOOM* " Ugh! " Dakon hits his stomach with his right fist embedding him even deeper into the ground
Dakon didn't stop there the next moment he grabbed Callion's vest and raised him to then *BOOM* slammed him on the ground again while half of his body was buried on the ground. Dakon grabbed his left leg next with his right hand and once again *BOOM* he slammed Callion making him vomit a mouthful of blood as his head began to bleed as well
Dakon grabs both of Callion's legs to raise him again, Callion's aura bursts once again, and he yells " Don't think that you are stronger than me! " Then *SWOOSH* *BOOM* He shoots a Ki blast towards Dakon's face and when it explodes Dakon releases him
" Die! " Yelled Callion as he landed and jumped towards Dakon *PUM* " Argh! " he hit Dakon's stomach with a strong right punch then *PAM* Callion hit Dakon's right cheek with a left hook. Finally, he jumps and spins to *SWOOSH* attack Dakon once again with a spinning kick but Dakon bows his head evading Callion's kick in the last second making Callion grit his teeth in anger as *PAM* " Agh! " Dakon hits Callion's ribs with a left hook yet Callion responds immediately by kicking Dakon's face making Dakon's head shake as his nose and mouth begin to bleed. The two of them started to exchange attacks, as neither of them retreated despite the amount of strength in each of their attacks
Everyone present looked at the platform in awe, they had never seen a battle like this there weren't any techniques involved just raw strength, so powerful that damaged the platform and created shockwaves that reverberated in the entire place with each attack
On the balcony, Ren Bao frowned seeing the battle with a serious expression while The Emperor, Lan Zexi, couldn't believe what they were seeing, this was supposed to be a fight between young people yet their fight reached a level that no youngling besides those huge talents of the central continent could reach, yet there was someone else who was very frustrated and that was Zhou Jianhong who was clenching his fists with frustration as he thinks ' This isn't good he has gotten stronger than I expected if he keeps growing like this Chen Wen wouldn't stand a chance against him ' Then he puts his hand on his pocket and thinks ' I need to ask her help if I want to help the Chen clan survive '
Unknowing him, Lan Xue was looking at him with anger and frustration, not because of hate towards the old man but of her hate towards Dakon who kept surprising everyone with his terrifying strength, she clenched her fists and turned around to see the entrance of the balcony, where at the outside was a pair of brown-robed old men who nodded at her
Lan Xue turns around and keeps looking at the platform with a cold expression then she looks at her mother from the corner of her eye and thinks ' I won't stay still until he comes to ruin my life with Yue once again '
Below the platform, everyone follows the trails of red and green lights jumping around the platform with serious expressions as shockwaves appear now and then destroying a part of the platform, still, some couldn't even distinguish what was going on but they were in the crowd. Shallot was also looking at the platform with a serious expression and not for the display of power from Callion and Dakon but because of what his scouter was showing, static numbers displayed from both of them
' The brat's Ki has stopped growing, I can understand why the skinny brat's Ki stopped increasing, but until now he kept growing until he surpassed his opponent at some point, its this normal? ' Shallot puts his left hand on his chin as he thinks ' His strength is almost the same as the skinny brat Kaio-ken times 15, yet he is slightly weaker but... ' Shallot smirks coldly ' The skinny brat's body can't handle that amount of pressure from the Kaio-ken he is getting slower and he is at the verge of muscle failure, this will be decided by who gets exhausted first '
*BOOM* Callion and Dakon hit each other faces and both were sent flying in opposite directions while Elder Qiu just like the other saw the battle with surprise he wasn't expecting to see a fight so entertaining in this tournament yet he was grateful to be chosen as the referee of the event
*TAP* *TAP* *TAP* Callion bounces a few times until he strikes the ground with his fist stopping his momentum ' Why? WHY?! I should be stronger than that piece of thrash yet he forced me to use a Kaio-ken times 15 to surpass him! ' Callion just like Dakon was full of wounds and blood from their savage exchange of attacks but Dakon wounded Callion's pride
Callion raises his head making an infuriated expression, and then he stands as his aura bursts again " I will finish you off! " Then he stretches both of his hands towards Dakon and begins to say " Kamehame... " he retracts his palms at his right side then *ZOOM* a brilliant blue sphere appears and begins to grow bigger and bigger
" Is he...? " Teacher Shen said with a shocked expression " Leave! Chen Kai!! " Yelled Lang Lin with worry as Wunah and Yuan Ning looked at Callion in awe
" Dakon... " Whispered He An as she looked at Dakon with worry as well, she clenched her fists slightly while the rest of the members of the Luhe Palace stared at Callion in amazement
" Hey... isn't that dangerous? " A young man said as he pointed at the platform with a terrified expression after all the place where he was sitting was located behind Dakon, a man near him said with uncertainty " Y-yes, but the barrier should be able to resist that, I think " Everyone who was in the stands behind Dakon began to panic after all every one of them had seen how much damage had caused Callion with that technique before, and now he was charging that attack again with a greater power than before
' That little f*cker! ' Zhou Jianhong stood in an instant as he looked at Callion with surprise then Ren Bao who as well was standing says with a serious expression " With that amount of strength the barrier will be useless we need to stop him or the whole empire could be destroyed "
The Emperor, Lan Zexi, and Lan Xue looked at Ren Bao in shock while the Emperor stood and ran towards the edge of the balcony, and when he was about to yell to make Elder Qiu stop the battle he felt a cold chill all over his body and froze in the place
The Emperor searched for the cause of this and finally noticed that it came from Shallot who was emitting a thin blue aura and was seeing him with a cold expression then Shallot smiled menacing and the emperor heard his voice in his mind telling him ' Just keep looking '
The Emperor looks at Shallot with wide eyes, yet he sees how Ren Bao and Zhou Jianhong jumped off the balcony without Shallot attempting to stop them
Ren Bao and Zhou Jianhong landed behind Dakon below the platform as both pointed their hands toward the platform making the barrier around the platform appear and shine with intensity, they wanted to stop Callion's attack after this killed Dakon, after all, this was an opportunity to get rid of him without consequences, besides, they thought that Dakon won't be able to survive that, and they were confident to stop the attack by strengthening the barrier with their Spiritual Energies combined
" ...? " Feng Gengxin frowned seeing them then He An who was the closest to her said with surprise " Grandmaster, what they are doing? "
Feng Gengxin doesn't respond to her instead she gets closer to the platform and as well she points her palm toward the platform making the barrier shine even more
Shallot smiled at that and then " RAAAA!!! " A powerful roar came from the platform, making Shallot look at Dakon who was the one who roared at the sky ' Hmm? His power has increased again, but what is happening to his body? ' Shallot thought with a serious expression
*BOOM* Dakon's green aura bursts cracking the ground below him, then on his body, multiple shinning green lines begin to appear it was like his body was cracking and the roar he made before was filled with pain, whatever was happening to him was causing him a huge amount of pain
Everyone who looked at him felt the pain in that scream even He An and Lang Lin yelled his name in worry but at that moment Callion finally attacked him
" HAAA!!! " Callion yelled and shot his Kamehameha toward Dakon *BOOOM* The Kamehameha devastated the platform as it traveled towards Dakon at lightning speed
Dakon was gritting his teeth with a pained expression, but when he heard the explosion from Callion's Kamehameha, he reacted by looking at the incoming attack and stretching his hands forward, and in the next moment *BOOOM* Callion's Kamehameha crashed with Dakon's hands creating a powerful shockwave that made the barrier shock and caused a strong tremble that shock the entire Empire
" Agh... Chen Kai! " Yelled Lang Lin as she fell backward from the shockwave, she wasn't the only one multiple people fell the moment the shockwave reached them, and only a few bunch managed to stand, being those from the big sects or people strong like Teacher Shen the ones that were least affected
" Ugh... Dakon... " He An said as she used her arms to cover her face from the wind. Everyone in the stands was struggling to keep their eyes open yet they weren't that affected by it and were seeing the platform in awe
Meanwhile, Feng Gengxin, Ren Bao, and Zhou Jianhong were looking at Dakon in amazement " He managed to stop it " Said Zhou Jianhong in surprise. Dakon stopped the Kamehameha advance with just his hands as the energy of these dispersed around him making the barrier shake even more
*TREMBLE* *TREMBLE* " Aggh! " Dakon clenched his teeth and began to walk pushing the Kamehameha back
' This bastard! How is it possible?! ' Callion thought as he felt that his Kamehameha was getting pushed back then *CRACK* " Ack... " His arms begin to shake and he feels a huge amount of pain in every part of his body ' I'm not going to lose! I'M NOT GOING TO LOSEE!!! ' Callion thought with anger and frustration then *BOOM* His aura burst again as he yelled " Kaio-ken times 16!! " *ZOOM* The Kamehameha grew bigger and Dakon was finally being pushed back " ARGH!! " Dakon growled as he got closer to the edge of the platform suddenly his arms bent and *BOOOOM* The Kamehameha hit him and exploded amazingly, the barrier shone brightly, and the platform was engulfed in fire and even Elder Qiu was taken by surprise by how strong the explosion was and he had no other choice than use his arms and Spiritual Energy to protect himself from the explosion
" Dakon! " " Chen Kai! " He An as well as Lang Lin yelled looking at the huge explosion, Lang Lin even tried to go to the platform but was stopped by Teacher Shen who said " Wait! he is still alive! " Lang Lin looks at him in surprise then she turns to see the platform
The platform was filled with smoke and the onlookers in the stands began to say " He is dead! " "It's impossible he is still alive after that! " neither of them were sure that Dakon was able to survive that
" He killed him, there is no way he could have survived that! " Peng Bai said with a serious expression then Zeng Kang said " We can't be so sure, those two are truly monsters! "
On The platform, the smoke begins to disperse and the first ones to be revealed are Elder Qiu who is intact and Callion whose body is shaking and bleeding it is a miracle that he is still standing but in the next moment " Agh... " he falls on his knees and begins to smile to say with a weak voice " I beat you, mother f*cker, haha "
The smoke dispersed completely and finally, Dakon was revealed, his body shrunk to his original state, as he was filled with burn marks and blood even his vest was destroyed and his pants were torn, he was lying face to the ground in a very huge crater even deeper than the round below the platform
The entire place was silent looking at Dakon only a few could notice that he was alive and showed faces filled with surprise but Lan Xue and Ying Jie being some of those who thought he died began to show smiling faces
Elder Qiu noticed that Dakon was alive and whispered " Amazing " Then he walked towards him wanting to aid him but first he yelled " The participant Dakon is unconscious! The new champion of the annual tournament is Callion from the Saiyan Sect!! "
The crow begins to yell in excitement Elder Qiu just confirmed that Dakon was alive so those who thought that he died were charging for him and Callion but Lan Xue and Ying Jie made ugly faces
He An and Lang Lin breathed with relief and they wanted to go towards Dakon but *SWOOSH* They noticed that Shallot appeared beside him so they didn't move at all
Shallot kneels beside Dakon and grins then he says " You have remarkable endurance, brat, you managed to survive after that kind of attack, it must be thanks to that bloodline of yours " Shallots puts his index finger on Dakon's spacial ring and force it to release a Senzu Bean that then feats to Dakon
Dakon's wounds healed in an instant, but he was still unconscious, besides, some scars prevailed on his arms mostly caused by the green lines that appeared on his body before. Shallot frowned seeing that it seems that he will get his answers about Dakon's bloodline once he reports this to the White Tiger, yet he still has one more thing to do in this place so he couldn't help but smile slightly and whisper " I wonder what kind of face they will make "
On the other side of the platform, Callion struggles to raise his right hand but in the end, he manages to do so to take a Senzu Bean from his spacial ring and become healed to stand and do some stretches while many onlookers see him in awe
" That medicine is a miracle, I wonder how they made it " Teacher Shen said with a thoughtful expression. He just like many others had seen the Senzu Beans at work and greed flashed through their eyes, but there was a high risk of trying to take them after all many now saw Shallot as a powerful individual that even the Legendary Elders respected
" Grandmaster, we need to seek Shallot's favor I'm sure that it will help you " Said Lei Zhenya to Feng Gengxin with a serious expression while the old woman frowned and stayed silent then her eyes landed on the balcony where Wang Yong landed
The emperor stood and said with worry " Father how is Jun'er?! " Ying Jie stood as well and put her hands together wanting to her good news
Wang Yong only looks at Ying Jie ignoring his son then he says " He will be okay, I took him with an old friend of mine, he will be in a peak condition in a couple of weeks "
" Haaa.. thank you gods " Ying Jie sighed with relief and whispered
The Emperor frowned slightly after his father ignored him regardless he smiled and said " That's good to hear anyway the tournament has ended, Father, the winner was Callion as you and the other three elders predicted, but the battle was quite fierce "
Wang Yong frowned then Ren Bao and Zhou Jianhong landed on the balcony " Brother Yong how is the little prince? " Asked Zhou Jianhong with a serious expression
" He will be okay, thankfully I knew someone very capable " Wang Yong said with a calm expression, Ren Bao smiled slightly as he says " That's good to hear " Then he makes a serious expression and says " But now we still have something else to do " Everyone in the balcony made a solemn expression except for Ying Jie who looked at them with a confused expression then he noticed that Lan Xue was leaving the balcony while they were distracted ' Sister Xue? Where is she going? ' Then she followed after her
As those two girls sneak out *GULP* Lan Zexi gulps with a frightened expression and says nervously " E-Elders are you sure that he will keep his promise? What if he lied to us? "
Lan Zexi's fear for Shallot has just grown in this amount of time, he only wants to leave this place as soon as possible and forbid everyone from her clan to even see him badly, but she doesn't know that her daughter has other plans and she had just missed the opportunity to stop her
The three Elders frowned and Zhou Jianhong said with a serious expression " It could be, but what other options do we have? We need to risk " The answer from Zhou Jianhong made Lan Zexi bow her head as fear invaded her body then they felt a small breeze and someone said " You don't have to worry about it, I gave you my word, didn't I? "
Lan Zexi turned pale and opened her eyes in surprise then she turned to see at her left with the corner of her eyes and thought ' I-I didn't notice him again ' Then she saw the three elders standing in front of her and when she noticed that they were as equally surprised as her she lost all hope, so she bowed her head and didn't dare to move
Shallot was sitting at Lan Zexi's left side where Lan Xue was to be sitting, he touched his chin and said " This is a very comfy place, how do you say...? elegant, I should have stayed here from the start, don't you think? " Shallot looks at the four men in front of him with a grinning expression
The three Elders nodded with small smiles on their faces yet they hated everything about this man in front of them, he wasn't respecting them at all
The Emperor smiles as well and says with a humble expression " Yes, you should have Lord Shallot "
Shallot narrows his eyes and smiles making the four men tense slightly then he stretches his hand towards a nearby table making Lan Zexi tense as well, he grabs a bottle of wine and opens it with his thumb then he drinks a huge portion of the bottle, and says " Ha, now this a very good wine " Shallot smiles and says " Now, about my last request " Shallot drinks another mouthful of wine then he says with a cold grin " I want those two dead at the end of the day "
The four men frowned and saw Shallot with serious expressions, they never thought that his final request at that time would be to kill Dakon and Callion, this is just simply crazy for someone who calls himself master, yet they will take this as an opportunity to kill those two
