Li BiHua was excited to fight as she chose the Rank 46th Qin AoJi.
She was experienced in fighting the staff due to the young lord and this would be the best way to test how far she had come since arriving at the Titan's Gate Sect.
"You little Slut, don't you know how to address your seniors?" Aoji said as he spun his staff and rested it across his shoulders.
Both Madlenkosi and BiHua's eyes glared as this was said. BiHua felt insulted and Madlenkosi felt that this guy was quite rude.
"For that, I will show no mercy. " BiHua stated as she placed down her sword box.
As she reached in and took out her long flute, a loud sword howl erupted as it sang upon being drawn.
A flute with a fully White Jade shaft, silver adorned about its body as it glistened beautifully in the sunlight.
This flute is named Jade Flower Flute, and it was used whether playing a musical score or as a sword-like weapon.
As she developed her sword arts, even her flute now can be used to exhibit sword Qi.
"A flute? Are you f@#king kidding me? What ya gonna do? Sing and Dance for me?!" Aoji sneered and laughed in disdain at BiHua, to which she only smiled lightly."
As she raised her flute as she got into a sword stance.
'Golden Sound and Jade Vibration'
The flute shook as countless notes rung out as they bounced around the area.
Aoji who was caught unaware was quickly disoriented by the sounds as he was under a countless barrage of golden ripples all made from Sound and Sword Qi.
As she continued to play and dance, the tempo raised as Aoji spat a mouthful of blood, veins protruding through his skin, as his tan outer sect robes were covered in blood as they leaked out his orifices.
"What sort of Demonic technique is this?!"
He lunged desperately towards her. Once his staff thrust out towards her chest, she spun as her flute slid along the shaft of the Bo staff. Her hair floated in the air as she spiraled her lithe body.
With her flute parrying the staff, she spun behind him as she placed the flute beside his neck. As it was rested there he rolled his eyes towards it to see that the flute had a blade edge on the side as blood ran from a small incision on his neck.
The crowd cheered as people clapped because it was the first time for many of them to see such smooth and concise movements as well as such a proficient sound technique.
"I don't believe it...I can't believe it" Aoji was in disbelief as to how fast he lost after showing so much bravado.
"Victor... Li BiHua" The judge said as the Aoji was escorted from the ring due to blood loss.
"Will you continue?" The judge asked as he looked at her appraisingly.
"Yes, I'll challenge the #41 Spot"
The number 41 was Cheonma Wu, a male sword cultivator. The #40 Su Xiaotian was still unable to be challenged due to him recently fighting so she could only pick him.
As they both were ready the fight got underway with increased ferocity. As sword Qi flew and skills were used, Cheonma Wu was quickly defeated as he was tossed out of the arena.
Continuing her challenge she continued to fight her way up, 37th, 31st, 26th...
As she quickly fought her way through the rising ranks, the crowd held their breath. No one knew where this powerful Yin Gate outer sect disciple came from.
To those who were respectful, she treated them in kind, but for those who weren't, she was absolutely merciless. Giving the idiom repaying injustice and gratitude 10 fold a true meaning on the arena.
Due to her fighting style and beauty, she was named as the 3rd new addition to the Dragons and Great Birds.
The Dragons and Great Birds currently had 2 titled individuals each.
Both Dragons and Great Birds before this were all from the Inner Sect but judging by her beauty, strength, and potential she was giving the moniker Skylark.
The Dragons and Great Birds were:
The Celestial Dragon, inner disciple Meng Jiu. He was the 2nd young master from the Meng Family, a well-known Sword Cultivator family.
The Roaring Dragon, inner disciple Yi Yei. The young master of the Yi Family who is proficient in Spear Arts.
Nightengale, inner disciple Tang Mei. The young mistress of the Tang family who specializes in Fan Arts, hidden weapons, poisons, and herbal medicines.
Golden Peng, inner disciple Shi Ah Ren, was taken in by Inner Elder Wu Mozi. She was an orphan the Elder noticed that was quite talented in his Swift Swallow Sword Technique as well as his Soaring Swallow Movement Technique.
_______________________________
Her last challenge for the day was Chae Hyang the 21st ranked disciple of the outer sect.
Chae Hyang slowly walked towards the arena as she held her spear behind her as she ascended the steps.
As they stared intently at each other, "I don't know if it's arrogance or you really feel like you can beat me...you haven't even displayed an intent so it's safe to say you don't have one."
Li BiHua laughed and placed her sleeve in front of her mouth as she smiled, "it's not that I don't have one but I never needed to use it against them...they were just too...weak."
Char Hyang furrowed her brows at that statement as she exhaled a deep breath.
An enormous Golden Serpent came out of the fog behind her as it slowly coiled around her body and then down her spear.
As she lowered her stance she spun the spear then held it behind her as her left hand stretched forward. "Enough with your arrogance, let's see if my spear will be enough to make Ms. Skylark go all out.
Li BiHua smiled as she looked towards the stands then waved to Madlenkosi.
He facepalmed as her attention drew the eyes, envy, and judgment of all around.
"Jesus Christ, this girl loves attention..." He said completely exasperated at her obnoxious behavior.
Li BiHua wore a smug smile as she saw the embarrassed look on her young lord's face.
"Heh, Heh let's do this." She said as musical motes carried on the wind began to ring out within the venue.
Soon an unbelievably beautiful scene appeared behind her. A woman sword dancing by a creek using a flute.
As she danced and the flute shook, sounds rang out. Whimsical, touching, aggressive, or saddening; inciting all great emotions in those who heard it.
One tune but myriad variations, each person hearing a different melody.
All touched, one way or another as those with low cultivation fell prey to their hidden emotions.
She raised her head as she looked her opponent in her eyes. "Let's do this."
