"I quit."
"Me too."
"I don't want to lose my life."
The next three disciples straight up quit after walking up to face Mariel. They glanced at their number one who was unconscious as a pool of blood surrounded his body.
The medics were trying to heal his body but there was not a single person on the mortal cultivation world who could heal his manhood.
"It's getting boring. Hey Mia, your turn." Mariel said as she yawned and deserted the stage for Mia.
The Boundless Weapons sect started cheering in joy as they believed that they could still win since Mariel had just quit.
"Well atleast she won't kill them brutally." Riang sighed with relief but Mariel just laughed at her.
"That girl is someone even I don't want to mess with. She tries her best to be cheerful and normal but on the inside, she is one of the most cruelest woman I have ever known." Mariel said with a small smile as Riang shuddered.
Mariel, who was terrifying and psychotic, was saying that Mia was someone even she didn't want to meddle with. Riang couldn't even imagine what was about to happen.
As soon as Yin gave the signal, the disciple casually took an arrow and notched it in his bow.
[ I will first destroy your clothes and then I will kill you. ] The disciple said to Mia using a spiritual message as he released the arrow.
However Mia didn't move from her spot and the audience thought that she was frozen in fear but of course, they were wrong.
As soon as the arrow appeared in front of Mia, it froze. It completely froze and dropped on the ground and shattered.
"The ice that cannot be destroyed." Mariel said as Riang and everyone else gasped.
"That person is the wielder of ice that can freeze lava. The coldness that spreads from her is enough to freeze air." Mariel said with a small laugh as the atmosphere started to turn colder.
Small snow flakes started to fall from the sky as the air around Mia swirled violently. The land below her feet started to turn to ice as she started to walking towards the disciple.
"Eternal ice. The true name and form of unmeltable ice. The ice that was used to trap people. They would be frozen in time till the ice was destroyed and when they will come out, they will remain unchanged." Mia said as the disciple started to run away from her.
"Become a part of this ice and stay frozen for eternity." Mia said and raised her hand towards the disciple.
A trail of ice followed her hand's trajectory and hit the disciple, thus trapping him in ice.
"I would have liked to trap you for a large amount of time but that would be boring. Hey Mariel, I am borrowing your power." Mia said as she remembered the conversation she had with Kai when they were strolling through the city.
"I have added a new function for the mark. Harem members acn now share their powers with each other for a minute as long as both of them agree to it. In this way, I can give you my powers or you can give yours to someone else." He had said to her.
"But would both of them receive each other's powers?" Mia had asked as Kai pondered on for minute.
"The two people will share the other's power while keeping their own power meaning that if you and Mariel share your powers, you both will be able to use purple flames and unmeltable ice." He had told her after a minute before they had finally found the hotel they were currently living in.
Mia's eyes started glowing as her ice blue left eye turned into a cat like yellow eye. Simultaneously, Mariel's left eye turned ice blue.
Mia raised her left hand towards the frozen disciple as a hot wave of purple fire rose from her body.
The flames followed the trajectory of her hand and covered the entire stage of the arena with flames that started to rise up.
Mia had destroyed the eternal ice prison beforehand so that the flames would be able to roast the disciple.
"Match over." Mia said as the flames settled down. Nothing was left of the disciple and the entire place was completely silent.
"We withdraw from the tournament." The Boundless sect's sect master said to Yin as the entire sect left the place while trembling.
"The Blue Moon sect advances to the next round." Even Yin had lost her hosting voice as she spoke the result.
Mia's and Mariel's eyes turned to normal as the two of them left. The Blue Moon sect stared at her sect master as Riang went up to join the rest of the sect with the participants.
She couldn't belive what she just saw. No treasure was used and there was not trick. It was single handed massacre.
"Who are you Kai and who are the ones that follow you?" Riang whispered to herself as she glanced at sky.
Kai on the other hand had finally found the group of bandits who had captured Mia.
He just snapped his fingers to freeze them on their spots. He searched through their memories and collected eveything he needed to.
He then burned them into nothingness and destroyed their base down to shreds. He then played those memories.
Kai appeared in a dark place as usual as the memories started to play in front of him. Since he mixed the memories together, he was watching everything in third person mode.
The bandits were eating their dinner when suddenly a white flash of light went across the forest.
They ran towards the center of the light to see if a spiritual treasure was born but all they saw was a beautiful girl about fifteen landing on the ground.
She had beautiful blonde hair and shiny yellow eyes. However, she was just hovering there like she was dead.
"And now they will capture her." Kai sighed as the bandits, overcome by their lust, started moving so that they could capture Mia.
But something shocking happened. As soon as one of the bandits grabbed Mia's body, her appearance completely changed.
Her hair and eyes turned ice blue and scepter of the ice goddess appeared in her hand. She raised it as icicles started to drop from the sky.
The bandits screamed as they tried to dodge the icicles but it was impossible. Further, ice continuously revolved around Mia's body as dead bodies started to litter the floor.
However, a pure white ball of light flew threw the sky at an impossible speed and hit Mia directly in the chest as she was knocked unconscious.
The remaining 10 or so bandits decided to fled away as Mia crashed on the ground. When she finally opened her eyes, she gazed at the purple comet that looked as though it was falling from space towards the land.
"Beautiful." She said as her appearance turned back to normal and she finally stood up. But the bandits came back with some more people.
If memory serves right, these guys were from the Chuchu family. They took a struggling Mia to the Chuchu family house and Kai knew the rest.
"That light was almost like a teleportation formation but I don't think anyone can create a teleportation formation on this planet. Wait, that light." Kai said suddenly as he travelled to the spot where Mia had first appeared.
Pieces of her unmeltable ice were still present in the place as Kai moved towards the center of the place where a huge pillar of ice was standing straight.
"A space gate." He said as he picked up a transparent piece of glass from the ground.
On the other side of the mirror, snow was falling on the ground, thus marking the place as the Northern continent.
"Who the hell created these space gate and how did these mortals managed to tinker with them?" Kai asked himself as he tossed the shard of the space gate inside his pendant.
He would now use this shard to travel to the Central continent and rescue Rizea but he he would do this after the tournament because if anyone on this continent needed him, he won't be able to come and help them.
He teleported back to royal capital and used the harem mark to find Mia and Mariel.
"You are back. That was quick as you didn't even take a whole day to search for clues." Mia said in an impressed tone.
"I found out may things." He said and touched their foreheads as Mia and Mariel fell unconscious. Their eyes opened up after a minute and they glanced at Kai with curiosity.
"Was that true?" Mia wasn't the least bit horrified by what she had done. And Kai believed that she was right as those men deserved that for trying to r*pe an innocent underage girl.
"I also obtained this from the battlefield." Kai said as he took out the broked shard of the space gate.
"Another space gate and this one leads to the Northern continent. Let's go explore that place and find about me after the tournament." Mia said as Kai smiled.
"Let's go back and see the rest of the matches." Kai said as the trio teleported back to the arena.
