Today I had seen the true face of the Qianli sect, my teacher, Grand Elder Fan had said that the Qianli sect was weak and that I shouldn't worry but now I wasn't so sure about that
I, Dang Fen, was one of the most talented Direct disciples in the Mindar sect and when I came face to face with the Disciple of the Qianli sect on stage I truly knew that I was like a mouse in the palm of his hand
I knew I stood no chance in this battle and unknowingly I turned my head to the pill in my pocket
This pill was given to me by a strange man dressed in black clothes and wearing a mask with a sideways § symbol earlier this morning, I knew what this pill was, it was a Chou pill which boosted a Xin artists strength by giving a lot of Li energy for a short period of time, unfortunately the side effects were that I would have to be bedridden and recuperate for a month
At first I wanted to return it but I realized he had disappeared the as fast as he appeared, such stealth techniques were definitely trained for a long time
In the end I decided to keep it just incase and now I'm glad I did, now that I am face to face with Disciple Via who held a sword wrapped in energy I knew that I stood no chance
I secretly swallowed the pill before the match and summoned five balls of fire around me, because of the pill I felt like I was bursting with energy and if I didn't use it all up I could be injured even worse
Luckily my opponent went on the defensive and allowed me to attack him as he dodged which helped me release the excess energy
Seeing as he wouldn't stop dodging I quickly turned the soil into mud using an earth and water controlling technique to limit his movements
To my surprise his speed didn't decrease at all as if he was weightless and stepped on the mud as if he was walking on solid ground
Seeing no other options I used my large amount of energy to raise stone walls that made the arena into a small maze where I could see in all directions and attack
Unfortunately this too didn't stop him as he barraged through the walls as if he had not noticed they were there and were made out of rocks that were stacked on top of each other feebly
At this point I knew he was toying with me so I decided to make him regret it as I called upon a blinding light to which he finally slowed down and blocked his eyes giving me a chance to strike at him with my Thousand Ice Needle technique
To my dispare I saw him draw his sword and with a brisk movement of his wrist it was as if a force field had appeared and blocked every attack
Before I could do anything more his sword was already up against my neck, as if to mock me he held his eyes closed the whole time
"I-I forfeit"
I said with a trembling voice as the strength from my body left me and I passed out, my last thoughtz were
'such skill, such splendor, such an arrogant face, why are you so gleeful at my misery!'
