It was the day of the tournament.
Ning made his way to the battle arena of the sect where all the people were gathered to make their beast fight.
During the last 4 days, Ning had been continuously training Night in the two techniques. By now, he was quite proficient at using the Multi-Scratch technique but was a little behind on learning the Blinding Gusts technique properly. Still, he was good enough that Ning didn't think he would need to learn it any further.
Also, after Ning's consistent effort, he had managed to increase Night's cultivation realm by 1. He was now in 3rd realm of Qi Condensation.
This sect-wide competition was for outer sect disciples only, so Ning couldn't see many if any, inner sect disciples. As for core disciples, he hadn't seen a single once since he had joined the sect, aside from the senior sister Soria.
