Back city core area
People were still talking in disbelief about what they just witnessed.
They were not the only ones who were shocked; cultivators inside the spacecraft were also impacted, but the general were quite impressed by Gue lao.
Gue lao and Qin Ri were sent for medical treatment while the recruitment was still ongoing.
Tian Ming sighed in relief, thinking about Gue lao's duel, and now a middle-aged man stood in front of him.
The middle-aged man played with the mucus in his hand and looked at Tian Hong before him, saying, "Tell me your name, cultivation path, and age."
"My name is Tian Hong, rank 2 metal path cultivator, and I am 18 years old."
The middle-aged man made a ball from the mucus and threw it in the air. Afterward, he grabbed a pen and noted Tian Hong's information.
"What do you want to do Joining or Fighting middle aged man spoke."
Tian Hong had never feared anything in his life eventually he looked at the arena I would like to fight.
Each step Tian Hong took towards the arena were silent after all Tian Hong always liked to remain silent.
As he entered the arena, many people didn't even notice him. He silently cupped his hands and said in a slightly louder voice,"My name is Tian Hong, rank 2 metal path cultivator, and I am 18 years old."
For a moment no one entered the arena but after a while from the spacecraft a person entered the arena.
The person cupped his hand as he spoke Junior My name is Jun Won rank 2 metal path cultivator.
Jun Won had righteous figure with broad chest with muscular face.
"Junior, we are both metal path cultivators, so shall we start with a casual spar of raw strength?'"
"'Senior, as you wish.'"
Both of their arms turned into metal as they rushed towards each other.
Still many people hadn't payed any attention to their dual but at the next moment the sharp sound produce by Tian Hong and Jun Won fist attracted their attention.
Tian Hong and Jun Won exchanged fist casually slowly by slowly their clash turned fierce after just three breaths their fist clash generated sparks.
Jun Won waved his arm in the air and activated his technique Giant arm while increased the size of his right arm in the air.
Around Tian Hong one hundred iron needle formed encircling at on point creating a shield this was Iron needle shield technique.
Jun Won's punch crashed down like a falling pillar, but it was blocked by Tian Hong's turtle shell-like iron needle shield.
Jun Won arm shaked slightly and on the other side Tian Hong's sleeve vibrated creating waves while his eyebrows twitched.
Both of them glanced at each other as they dashed towards eachother time their clash of fist caused loud sound.
Tian Hong jumped backwards."senior it seems you got bored let this junior of yours entertain you."
Tian Hong activated Iron Needle Rain technique one hundred needle appeared in the air attacking Jun Won like water droplets during rain.
Jun Won activated iron body armour technique in his body iron armour appeared blocking every needle.
Every path have it's own advantage and disadvantage and Metal path had advantage in defence and disadvantage in movement.
The were both metal path so their battle was destined to be passive.
From a observer view they would see Tian Hong and Jun Won dueling lazily but they were enjoying each clash.
Tian Hong and Jun Won were now standing away from each other.
"Junior this dual is getting unnecessarily long but don't worry in next few moves this duel will end."
"Senior I also feel the same but it's good that you predicted your defeat."
For a moment both of them started to calm their mind.
Around Jun Won each shoulder two metal alloy ring formed his both arm size increased turning into iron.
Jun Won was in fleet for 5 years and mid tier Warrior in this time period he had accumulated useful techniques.
Jun Won stretched his arms in the air leaned forward adjusted his angle and dashed towards Tian Hong.
Tian Hong activated Iron Needle shield technique blocking Jun Won.
Unlike Jun Won Tian Hong was still in being phase with low experience he even had less technique.
Jun Won crouched placed his right arm on the ground and dashed side ways rotating his body in the air while his hand supported his body landed a hit in Tian Hong's neck attacking in a beautiful arc."
This was the battle experience of Jun Won.
Tian Hong was not sent flying after the attack but slided on the ground.
Jun Won jumped like a lion and punched Tian Hong in his chest.
Tian Hong coughed blood which landed on Jun Won face.
One hundred iron needle formed in the air which immediately attacked Jun Won.
Jun Won dashed backwards dodging it.
Jun Won again attacked not giving any time to Tian Hong for standing.
Tian Hong attacked again with Iron Needle Rain technique.
But this time it was a mistake Jun Won took the attack head on even though it injured him he endured it and reached very close Tian Hong.
Tian Hong was still sitting on the ground Jun Won poked his ten fingers in his opponent chest looking at Tian Hong with his ruthless eyes Jun Won closed his fingers grabbing Tian Hong's flesh deeply tossed Tian Hong's body in the air and slammed on the ground.
Jun Won ten fingers were still inside Tian Hong's chest as he slowly removed his fingers from Tian Hong's chest ten holes blood erupted as if those ten holes were volcano.
Jun Won body bathed in Tian Hong's blood but what he enjoyed was the blood fragrance released by those ten holes.
Jun Won this time with more power again inserted his finger on those ten holes which cracked Tian Hong's rib cage but he grabbed the bloody flesh and tossed it in sky.
This time the tissues around Tian Hong got slightly ripped while his eyes turned red.
Jun Won jumped in the air trying to attack Tian Hong in a painful angle.
Humans have habit of making mistakes in excitement.
Around Tian Hong one hundred iron needle started to condense as lotous petals floating around Tian Hong.
Those iron petals gathered in one point forming iron lotous Tian Hong threw it at Jun Won.
Iron lotous blasted in Jun Won's face pushing him downwards and greatly damaging his face this was his Iron Lotus technique.
This was the first time in the duel Tian Hong getting upper hand.
Tian Hong turned his Arm into iron activating Iron Needle Rain which floated around his iron arm.
Tian Hong landed on the fallen body of Jun Won punching in his chest creting many small needle sized holes.
Jun Won tried to get up but Tian hong grabbed his head and slammed on ground so hardly that his fingers penetrated the ground it greatly damaged his finger bone but he didn't care about it the only thing that mattered to him right now was victory.
Tian Hong created a iron lotous in the air and as he grabbed carefully placing it on Jun Won's chest.
The iron lotous blasted and damaged fatally the holes.
Jun Won screamed painfully meanwhile Tian Hong again blasted iron lotous at the same spot again and again.
Tian Hong used Iron lotous for five times each time Jun Won's screamed louder and louder he screamed so loudly that blood flowed from his eyes.
The people surrounding the arena also felt the pain in Jun Won's scream.
Tian Hong had silent nature but he enjoyed those painful scream of the person who punctured his chest he ruthlessly created another iron lotous.
Jun Won saw the sixth iron lotous his eyes shaked with fear while his heart started to beat so much hardly that the surface of his chest vibrated.
Jun Won shouted so loudly in fear admitting his defeat.
Tian Hong stood looked at the clouds and blasted the iron lotous in air which sent his hair streaming backwards.
