Chapter 23 - The Tournament

Two days later, Jason has completely healed and is back on his feet again. While he was recuperating in the tent for the past two days, he was busy cultivating the heaven's law and at the same time honing his skill inside the space made from the bracelet.

"Even after cultivating the heaven's law while I was recovering, I am still yet to sense the earth's energy" said Jason with a sigh.

"At least you are making progress in your cultivation and by the look of things, it won't be long before you made another breakthrough" reply the bracelet.

"You are right about that so I won't complain since I am also making a profit here" said Jason with a chuckle.

"But still you need to practice more the tournament begins" advises the bracelet.

"I know alright beside I still need time to perfect my phantom kick before the start of the event" said Jason.

"So are you going to the woods to practice then" asked bracelet.

"Why else can I go to train if not in the woods" reply Jason with a smile.

"Why don't you go to the beast territory and train there. I believe with your current strength surviving there shouldn't be a problem for you" said the bracelet.

"I know you want me died by all means but I am not going there" reply Jason as he chuckled before walking out

After greeting his mother and playing around with Hannah, Jason went to the woods to train after which he went home to rest and practice the heaven's law, and the next day he will continue with the same routine until it was finally time for the tournament.

The fox family was all bursting in excitement for the day they have been waiting for has finally come where those that will be fighting each other just so they could become one of the family workers and earn enough money to care for their needs. A large arena was made in the market square with few chairs by the sides which were prepared for the important bodies in the family.

"Hey were you able to get your half brother to agree to our request" asked Andrew after coming out to take a look at the arena while waiting for the event to start.

"Yes, and he agreed straight away saying if they were to meet in the ring, he will do whatever he can to make sure that he crippled him and he is not doing it because we told him to" reply Dennis.

"I don't care if he is doing it for us or not, all I care about is that he is doing it" said Andrew with a smile on his lips.

"You are right boss, it is only his lost for not taking our offer and at the same time doing our bidding" reply Dennis with a chuckle.

"Hahaha, now let's see how that brat is going to make it to the top when your half-brother has set his eyes on him" said Andrew in laughter before taking a sit while they wait.

Back at the tent, Jason was still cultivating the heaven's law as he usually does in the morning before anything else, and right now he is not far away from making a breakthrough into the six-layer of tempered body.

"Mother do you think big brother is going to be alright at there" asked Hannah as she watches her brother cultivating peacefully.

"I don't know but we must have faith in him" reply Clara as she stroke Hannah's hair before turning to Jason and asked.

"When do you plan to go to the square and get your tag for the tournament".

Taking a deep breath as he begins to open his eyes slowly, Jason got up on his fist as he did some stretching here and there before greeting his mother.

"I will be on my way now, I hope to see you guys there" reply Jason with a wide smile on his face as he walk out of the tent.

"Hey kid it is time for you to show the world what you have in store for them" said the bracelet as Jason makes his way to the square.

"Yeah, I cant wait to see the look on their face when I advance to the finals and become the winner" reply Jason.

"That is the spirit and remember to always strike first not giving your opponent the time to prepare for their action" advises the bracelet.

Nodding his head in response to the bracelet word, Jason finally made it to the square while he could see the place has already been filled with audience that are waiting for the event to start.

"Wow I can't believe there will be this many people here today" said Jason in shock as he stopped to look at the crowd of people.

While he was looking around, Jason and Andrew's eyes came in contact as there was a little face-off between their two before Jason left to get his tag. After taking his tag, the elder that is in charge of the tournament came fourth to say the rules.

"Welcome to the fox family annual tournament where thirteen combatants are going to pick a lot with one of the lot being a free pass to the next round while those who picked the lots containing a number, will have to face their opponent whose tag tallied with the number. The rules remain the same, those who are knocked out of the ring or forfeit the match will be disqualified. Not wasting much of your time, I give you the combatants for this year's tournament".

Jason and the rest that are participating in the tournament begin to come out and stood in line for the audience to take a look at them after the elder has given the order. The crowd was shocked to see that those participating this year were far younger than they expected with Denise's brother been the only one who looked to be four to five years older than the rest of the combatants.
