Nan Heng watched as the martial art tournament progressed. He couldn't take his eyes off. Every battle were fascinating, and thrilling for him. As other spectator screamed, he followed them.
'Yes. This is the feeling!'
Imagining it and feeling the real thing were really different. Nan Heng smiled the entire tournament.
"We are now finally reaching the final battle within the tournament!"
"Yeah!"
"At last!"
"The first challenger, Gan Hao!"
The announcer announced the first fighter.
"The Prodigy!"
The spectator screamed.
"I think he will win."
"Agreed."
"He is called The Prodigy for a reason."
The spectator started talking with each other.
"But his opponent is..."
"Right, we can't forget that who he is facing."
The announcer announced the next fighter.
"And his opponent! Wang Nuxi!"
A girl with blue long hair entered the arena, her hair pinned with a golden hairpin to the side. Her crystalized blue eyes, sending cold gaze to her opponent. Wearing a long blue robe, and a white shirt inside the robe.
"Who is she?"
"You don't know her?! She is really popular right now."
"Popular?"
"Her nickname is Blossoming Genius!"
Nan Heng leaned back.
'Hmmm, this will be interesting. The fight between two main character offspring.'
Nan Heng watched the Protagonist's daughter battle before, and she quickly defeated her opponent with only just a single strike. The same goes for The Death Empress's son.
'This... is really exciting!'
Nan Heng landed his eyes on them. Watching them with a serious gaze.
***
Wang Nuxi pulled out her sword from her swordsheath. Gan Hao who looked at her widened his eyes.
"Bitch, the announcer haven't announced the fight yet. Why are you pulling your sword already?"
"Am i, not allowed to?"
"No i mean... ah just forget it. Explaining it to your small brain will do me no good."
"The battle! Star-"
Wang Nuxi jumped toward Gan Hao with full speed, raising her sword. Gan Hao instinctly dodged.
Woosh!
The attack grazed his left cheek. He quickly turned around, looking at Wang Nuxi.
"You crazy bitch! The announcer haven't finish speaking, yet you attacked me already."
Wang Nuxi look at him with her cold eyes.
"Keep running your foolish mouth, while i cut you down."
"You! Ah fucking dumb bitch, i just can't reason with you!"
Gan Hao quickly charged toward Wang Nuxi. Using his fist, he attacked Wang Nuxi. Wang Nuxi quickly block Gan Hao fist with her sword.
Clank!
Both of them quickly took a step back. They slowly changed their stance. Gan Hao raising his right hand, while lowering his left hand right beside his waist.
Wang Nuxi lowered her body. Holding her sword with a strong grip. She aimed her sword toward Gan Hao.
Thousand Fist Art - First Fist!
Celestial Blade Art - Sky-Breaking Thrust!
They charged toward each other at the same time. They were really fast as the spectator eye couldn't follow their movement.
Bam!
Dust began to scatter around the area, as they clashed. Their barrage of clash continued, each using their own martial arts.
Woosh!
Bam!
Nan Heng eyes widened, dropping his jaw.
'I couldn't follow their movement at all.. is this the power of an 16 years old?!'
After awhile their clash stopped. Both of them fell on their knees. They were exhausted. Some part of their clothes even got torn apart. Their body were sweating.
"Gah! Gah!"
"Huft! Huft!"
They were breathing really fast. Gan Hao slowly stood up.
"Playtime is over."
Gan Hao wiped the sweat on his face. Seeing Gan Hao stand up, Wang Nuxi slowly stand up aswell.
Gan Hao changed his stance. He lowered his body. Placing both of his arm beside his waist.
Wang Nuxi looked at him.
"You.. what is that stance?!"
"I Ain't telling you bitch! Find it out yourself."
"You bastard.. fine i was about to anyway!"
Wang Nuxi raised her sword once again, holding her sword high right above her head. She swiftly attacked Gan Hao. Her sword slowly turned into blue.
Nan Heng eyes widened.
"She is imbuing Qi into the sword?! She is at that stage already?! At that age?!"
Celestial Blade Art -Illuminating Slash!
As she was infront of Gan Hao. Gan Hao fist began to emit a green bright light.
Nan Heng looked at Gan Hao with the same expression.
"Him too?!"
Fist Of Death Art -Death Blow!
In just a blink of an eye. Gan Hao fist reached Wang Nuxi stomach. Punching her directly.
"Bwargh!"
Wang Nuxi quickly spit out blood. Before her body got flinged into a wall.
Bam!
Shaking the whole arena.
"Huft! Huft!"
Gan Hao body slowly fell to the ground, but he wasn't unconscious. The smoke finally become clear, revealing Wang Nuxi. Lying on the ground unconscious.
"Heh, i won bitch! Eat my fist!"
The announcer quickly announced.
"The winner! Gan Hao!"
The crowd screamed.
"As expected! He won!"
"See i was right!"
"Long live Gan Clan!"
Gan Hao smiled.
"Hear that bitch! Everyone talking about me!"
But Wang Nuxi didn't answer him.
"Bitch?"
Gan Hao noticed that her body wasn't moving, and there were blood just under body.
"O-oi Wang Nuxi!"
Gan Hao tried to stand up, slowly walking toward Wang Nuxi. He dragged his left feet, coming closer to her.
He turned her body around. Noticing she wasn't breathing. Nan Heng quickly put his head on her chest, checking on her heartbeat.
'Her heart is still beating! But, she isn't breathing! Shit!'
"Oi! Wang Nuxi don't die on me!"
Gan Hao imbued his hand with Qi. Placing both of his hand in her chest. Slowly pushing it several time.
'Cmon! Please work!'
He kept pushing. He didn't join this tournament to kill people especially, his rival. He kept pushing, but Wang Nuxi didn't show any sign of breathing.
Suddenly, on the spectator seat, a terrible aura appeared. Nan Heng sensed it.
'This terrible feeling!'
Nan Heng look at the source of the terrible feeling came from.
"Oh no, if he is angry this will be dangerous!"
Nan Heng quickly stood up, leaving the tournament place.
"Why is he running away?"
"Y-you didn't feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"Shh, don't move, if you don't want to die."
The one who sensed the aura, their face became pale, they did not dared to move a single step. After all, this aura came from a beast. A predator.
The man with jet blue hair, quickly jumped down toward the arena. Slowly walking toward Gan Hao. Unsheathing his sword, before.
A woman with a black long dress and a black coat stood infront of him.
"Move Heilin."
"Lower your murderous intent Yuanhao. Don't worry, if your daughter die you can kill me."
Gan Heilin stood infront of the Protagonist, Wang Yuanhao.
"But that won't happen. After all, my son... is a genius."
With the last effort, Gan Hao pushed one more time. Before finally stopping.
'No...'
As he thought that she was already death. Wang Nuxi's chest slowly moved.
"Gah! Hah! Hah!
Wang nuxi was finally breathing again. Seeing that, Gan Hao eyes lit up.
"Nuxi!"
He quickly grabbed her shoulder and head. Placing her beside the wall, so she can breath normally.
Wang Yuanhao who watched her daughter breath, finally sighed. Feeling relieved.
"Told you."
"That was just a fluke. Next time, i won't hesitate."
Yuanhao warned Heilin.
"Sure, old bastard."
***
Gan hao sitting beside the arena alone, looking at the empty spectator seat.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you go home with your family?"
Gan Hao turned his head toward the voice. It was Wang Nuxi, holding a cup of tea. She approached Gan Hao, sitting beside him.
"Look, im truly sorry. For almost killing you..."
"You don't have to... after all im still alive now was thanks to you."
"But i almost killed you aswell..."
"Then its equal, you almost killed me but you also saved me. So don't be sorry."
Wang Nuxi stretched her arm, offering Gan Hao the tea in her hand.
"Im also sorry for attacking you even before the match started."
Wang Nuxi looked at Gan Hao with an warm gaze. Gan Hao couldn't help but smiled.
"No its fine, i can relate to that. With that small brain of yours."
Gan Hao quickly teased her, using the opportunity given to him.
"Y-you!"
Both of them laughed for some time while having a warm conversation.
