"Zhou Xinqiu ranked 6th"
"Gah, she even beat that hellish sword master's strange disciple!" Zhou He laughed and finally began to smile.
"I told you she isn't weak, but now she has to enter the top 5. All of the top 5 have already stepped into the 9th level of the body tempering stage. This indeed is a little troublesome" Zhou Ye began to worry. If she didn't enter the top 5, all this showing off would be for nothing.
Zhou Feng then looked down at Zhou Xinqiu before asking "Would you like to continue challenging?"
Zhou Xinqiu nodded and looked into the competitors seats. Over here a girl wearing a skirt stood up. When she began walking, all the young men started having nosebleeds. After all, this was one of the Zhou sect's heavenly beauties, Hua Li. Her seductive figure rose onto the platform before meeting eyes with Zhou Xinqiu. The truth was that Zhou XInqiu was not at all inferior to Hua Li's beauty. However, while Hua li always wore short skirts and revealing tops, Zhou Xinqiu would often be seen in plain white robes. On top of this, Hua Li would always play around with the young men which created a longing desire in their hearts of just almost being able to grasp that beauty.
Nevertheless, Today Zhou xinqiu was wearing an elegant red dress lined with golden. It seemed to perfectly display her strengths. it was at this time that people realized that Zhou Xinqiu's beauty was on par with Hua Li and Yu Qingsu. But, this match was not going to be decided based on their beauty of course.
"Begin"
"Flower qi manipulation - offensive form!"
A stream of calm and beautiful flower qi revolved around Hua li. However, as soon as it saw Zhou Xinqiu, the calm flower qi turned extremely violent and practically tried to pounce onto her.
"No more holding back. 7 soul imprints merge" The violent flower qi was constantly being blocked by the merged imprint.
"Daisy creation - stream of destruction - Full form" Hua Li closed her eyes and a human sized daisy grew out from the ground in front of her. From the center of the daisy came out a powerful qi stream which bit at the merged imprint.
"Nine sword dance art - 8th form!" Up till now Zhou xinqiu had only used the seventh form in combat. the 8 forms of her body began to simultaneously display the 8 forms of the nine sword art before merging into one entity which materialized into a wieldable sword.
while the soul imprint was dealing with the power of the daisy, Zhou Xinqiu grabbed the hilt of the sword and dashed forward with the soul imprint enhancements at her feet. She quickly reached the daisy and without hesitating she slashed down at its stem severing it into two. Then she turned her head to fight with Hua li.
"NO I REFUSE" Hua li began denying the fact that her strongest attack had just been swiftly destroyed by someone at the 8th level body tempering stage. She started sending out a barrage of random attacks in hopes to catch Zhou XInqiu off guard. However, it only ended up in the same result, with her blade reaching Hua Li's throat.
"I admit defeat" These three words caused an outcry in the audience. Zhou Xinqiu reached the top 5? How was this possible. She was ranked 11th just a few moments ago.
"I challenge the 4th ranker Huo Mingliang" Another sentence of hers caused the audience to get even louder.
The temperature of the arena grew dramatically as Huo Mingliang appeared. "You really casually forced yourself into the top 5 huh?"
Zhou Xinqiu smiled from ear to ear "Yup"
"Well then, Im too lazy to fight with you now. I already had my loss from that fat bastard so beating you won't help me. Take this one attack from me and you can go ahead" Huo Mingliang cracked his fingers before getting into a stance.
"Alright"
"Quasi Earth tier - Burning Dragon Fist" A terrifying flame covered his fist and low dragon roars could even be heard from within it.
"QUASI EARTH TIER???? Thats almost as strong as Qi circulation techniques!" People in the audience began to gasp and jump around. Although Huo Mingliang pretended like he was lazy, he planned to display his strongest attack right from the start.
"Hm, quasi earth tier... I guess I have to use more now. 8 imprints merge!" the imprints merged into one imprint the size of 3 and a half heads. As the flaming fist began to hit the 8 merged imprint. It seemed like 8 imprints were still not going to be enough. Cracks began to appear on the imprints once again as she thought on what to do.
"Blood Enhancement" she whispered into her heart before piercing her skin on her wrist again and dropped one drop of blood onto the imprint. This time the red imprint grew to a big size of about 5 heads and chaotic qi leaked off of it. However, even with the help of this enhancement, cracks soon began to appear again. When the Flaming fist finally dissipated, the imprint that barely held on shattered.
"You are impressive to be able to take that. This attack takes too much time to prepare since I am not at the preferred cultivation level for it. Hence, I had to try it on you." Huo Mingliang chuckled and walked off the arena.
"Zhou Xinqiu Ranked 4th"
"Elder Zhou!" A voice spoke from the competitor's seats.
"Hm?" Zhou Feng turned his head.
"Actually, Zhou Xinqiu is Ranked 3rd! I forfeit" Yu Qingsu smiled.
"Sister... This... You are being too nice" Zhou Xinqiu had a deep appreciation in her heart.
"Stop being silly, don't you remember I told you that you would go up and beat those fools who thought they could take advantage of you? Now is Your Chance! Plus, I doubt I have a chance winning against you." Yu Qingsu held Zhou Xinqiu's hand and encouraged her.
"Thank you sister.."
