"Uh…uh…huh, w…what just…happened, and why am…I feeling…dizzy?" Ke Xin stood up from the ground. He was feeling dizzy and stumbled on the ground again after standing.
It was to be expected, however, Yang Zhai had made sure to not kill him. First, if Ke Xin died, then the Ma clan would become desperate as there would be only two of their disciples left to fight, and if that happened, they would try every means to kill the three disciples of the Bai clan, which was not feasible.
And secondly, he wanted to make sure that the Ma clan must win one of the first two rounds.
"Okay now, the second fight of the first round can begin and the competitors for the second round are Yen Hu of the Ma clan and Ai Hao of the Bai clan."
Yen Hu and Ai Hao walked onto the stage after Zing Ghe called their names.
"If you two are ready, we can begin the fight." Zing Ghe asked the two competitors.
"I am ready,"
"Me too,"
"Very well then, begin," Zing Ghe announced, and the fight began.
However, both Yen Hu and Ai Hao started to fight directly without saying anything. Both of them had already learned the lesson after seeing Yang Zhai's fight and didn't want to end up like Ke Xin.
As Ai Hao was aspiring to be a healing cultivator, she did not have much fighting experience. She was also weak compared to Yen Hu when it came to fighting, as one wanted to be a healing cultivator and the other had many fighting techniques.
Ai Hao tried to keep her distance from Yen Hu because she knew that she was weaker compared to Yen Hu in physical strength. She knew this from the battle of Yang Zhai and Yeh Hu which had taken place in the clan leader's residence of the Bai clan. Thus, she was using long-range techniques.
However, Yen Hu also used long-range techniques and released small bees from his hand to fly toward Ai Hao. He was using a rank 1 Ka, which could control up to 20 small bees. He controlled them to distract Ai Hao and he himself was trying to close the distance between himself and her.
After a while, he managed to get close to Ai Hao with the help of the bees. Ai Hao was at the end of the arena because of the bees distracting her, and she herself was trying to keep her distance from Yen Hu. When Yen Hu got close to her, she was already at the end of the stage, and he easily kicked her out of the stage.
"Yen Hu has won the battle, and it is now a tie with both clans having one point each. The final battle will decide the results of the first round." Zing Ghe announced loudly.
However, many of the people in the audience were not happy.
"I had bet my thousand essence stones on that girl, but she lost. I am feeling so annoyed."
"Me too, I had also placed my thousand essence stones on her."
"Forget about it, I had bet my rank 1 Ka on her, now I lost the Ka because of her."
"It's nothing, I had bet five thousand on Yen Hu, and he won, now I will get double the essence stones."
"Let's continue the third fight, shall we."Zing Ghe said this and everyone fell silent, waiting for the third fight to continue.
"The next competitors are Si Kim of the Bai clan and Jun Haru from the Ma clan. This is the final battle of the first round: so, I would suggest you start betting on the two and also on who would win the first round: the Ma clan or the Bai clan." Zing Ghe again began to convince people into betting. He wanted people to bet as much as they could, after all, it was also going to benefit him, and the ten percent of the share was going to be given to him of the essence stones collected.
"Now, then, let's start the final fight of the first round. You two, get ready,"
"We are ready,"
"Then, begin the fight."
With this, the fight began. Jun Haru summoned a small wind blade and shot it at Si Kim. However, Si Kim just exited the range of twenty meters, leaving the attack useless. It was because a rank 1 attack does not possess much power and can at most reach the range of 20 meters. It was just like energy.
Si Kim, on the other hand, ran forward and activated a rank 1 earth path technique and a dust ball appeared, which he shot toward Jun Haru.
Jun Haru was also about to dodge the attack by jumping to the side, however, the dust ball turned into dust and was thrown at Jun Haru. Jun couldn't avoid the scattered sand and hurriedly closed his eyes to avoid the dust from entering his eyes.
He then instantly opened them up. However, what he saw was another dust ball coming at him. He was hit in the face by the dust ball and almost fell to the ground because of losing his balance, however, he managed to balance himself.
When he balanced himself, he saw another dust ball enlarging in his eyes. Of course, he had just balanced himself, so how could he dodge an attack that had appeared suddenly and was about to hit his face?
"The heck," Jun Haru was hit directly in the face and fell down this time around.
He knew what was going to happen next, so he dodged to the side without thinking and seeing anything. And he managed to avoid the dust ball this time. He hurriedly stood up from the ground and shouted,
"Haha, you missed…huh,"
However, just as he stood up and shouted, he was hit again by the dust ball.
"Hahahahaha!!!! This is hilarious, look at his face,"
"How do I look at his face? He always gets hit before I can even see it, haha haha!!!"
"What was he thinking when he dodged the attack, to get hit again? Hahaha!!!"
"Maybe he is enjoying it, hahaha?!!!"
Many people in the crowd burst out with laughter after seeing Jun Haru getting hit by a single technique again and again.
"Screw you!" Jun Haru shouted with anger and jumped up from the ground. Then, he, even without looking, punched with his right hand in front of his face. As he expected, his right hand, which had turned gray because of a rank 1 Ka, hit something. Then he punched again and again. However, he only struck the dust ball two more times before it no longer hit anything.
It was to be expected, Si Kim could not keep on using only a single technique and hoped to win with it. Half of his essence water had already dried up because of the attacks.
Black marks had also appeared on his right hand because of using the same technique again and again. However, the marks had appeared only on his hand, indicating that the toll on his body was not much.
Jun Haru's face was covered with blood because of the attacks earlier. Jun Haru began to close the distance between himself and Si Kim by running toward him. It was not that Jun Haru and Yen Hu were body cultivators because of using their bodies to fight, this was not the case at all.
After all, even Yang Zhai had a lot of physical strength and sometimes used his body to fight instead of techniques, but he was not a body cultivator. It was just that the Kas that were found or obtained by Jun Haru and Yen Hu were body-related Kas that they used their bodies to fight. After all, suitable Ka was not that easy to be found and especially by the lower cultivators.
The newly awakened cultivators did not have much knowledge and used whatever that could benefit them than the other methods they had. In the beginning, they just had to set up their foundations. And even Yang Zhai was doing the same thing, as he also did not have many choices.
In the previous battle that happened a week ago, when the Ma clan and the Bai clan members were attacked by the black cloaked men, there were more other path cultivators than the body cultivators and there was only one body cultivator.
Si Kim was also not using his body to fight because he had not obtained any body path related Ka to help his body.
Jun Haru was slowly closing the distance between himself and Si Kim. Si Kim, on the other hand, shot fire toward Jun Haru from his hand.
Jun Haru dodged and jumped back, exiting the range of Si Kim's attack. Si Kim stopped after seeing this.
Jun Haru again ran toward Si Kim, and Si Kim again attacked with fire and earth path techniques. This kept on repeating.
