"Sect Master, is he okay?" Davion and Isla came infront of him and asked.
"He is seriously injured. But with these pills, he might be able to recover in a month." Thaddeus replied as he took out a new robe from his ring. He covered up Hendrix and then looked at his two disciples with a sad expression, "Carry him up. We are leaving."
"But Sect Master, aren't we going to participate in the other round? We will loose if we go back." Isla looked worried.
Thaddeus sighed, "What's the use of participating? The other kid is at the middle stage of Qi refining. You are only at the early stage and Davion had just reached the Qi refining state. So, it's just a waste of time."
"I.." Isla wanted to say something but she knew that the Sect Master was right. There was no hope.
"Isla, why don't you carry Hendrix back and take care of his injuries? I want to have some experience here." Davion suggested.
"Davion, you?" Thaddeus didn't even know how to react.
"Sect Master, you don't have to worry about me. If it gets dangerous, I will just give up." Davion tried to persuade him.
Seeing his lively disciple who wanted to fight, he gave up. "Ok, just don't get hurt and try to protect yourself. I will be watching you from here. If anything happens, I will take you out from the barrier."
"Thank you, Sect Master." Davion bowed and got ready for the next round.
"Isla, you carry Hendrix and bring him to the inn which is opposite of here. I have already booked it." He passed the key of the inn to Isla and continued, "I will return with your Junior brother later on. You can leave now."
Isla nodded and left with Hendrix on her back.
The middle-aged lady returned once again. She came to the middle of the arena and looked at Davion as he was the only Bone and Devil Sect disciple here. She tried to see through Davion but couldn't see his cultivation. So, she thought that he might be a disciple at Body Tempering State who was sent on behalf of the sect to give up.
"Boy, is your sect going to withdraw?"
"No, I will fight this round." Davion bowed and calmly replied.
"What?" She was surprised to see this. The Bone and Devil Sect had only one disciple at the middle state of Qi refining. But now that he was injured, they should have withdrawn. But who could have thought that they would still want to continue?
Edgar in the stands got confused. "Why does a new disciple like him want to continue?"
"I can't see through his cultivation base. Is he hiding it? I even provided the Flame Blossom Sect with the explosive orb to make sure that the Bone and Devil Sect will get finished here. But now a new disciple has appeared here."
Not only him but the other elders were also surprised.
Arian was also looking at Davion and his brows were furrowed. "I thought that Isla might be the one to come like the previous time."
"Senior brother, it looks like he is our next opponent. We have never heard about him. He might be a new disciple and might not be so strong. How about I go and fight with him?" Abby suggested from the side.
"No, need for that. We cannot take more risks. Sect Master already looked unhappy seeing Ahmir loose. We cannot disappoint him. So, I will just go all out this round."
"Ok, good luck, Senior brother." Abby left the arena after wishing him.
The middle-aged lady looked at Arian and asked, "Are you the one, who is going to fight this round?"
"Yes, I am." Arian confidently replied.
Then she shouted, "Both the disciples passed out during the previous round. So, we considered that round as a draw. Now, you guys can start." She left the arena and the barrier came up again.
Davion and Arian were looking at each other. Davion took out the sword strapped on his back, whereas Arian took out a sword from his ring.
Arian couldn't hide his curiosity. So, he asked before starting, "Who are you? Are you a new disciple who has just joined the sect?"
"I am Davion, a Qi refining disciple of the Bone and Devil Sect." After introducing himself, he got into a fighting posture.
"Oh, a new disciple. I am Arian, the core disciple of the Fire Blossom Sect. You should have heard of me." Arian also got into his fighting posture and got serious.
"It feels really cool to give an introduction before the battle just like the novels I used to read. But how should I beat him? If I beat him easily then it would be very suspicious."
While he was deep in thought, Arian had already charged towards him with his sword.
