"So.... where were you?" Cho cheong asked as she walked home with Harith. Harith had suddenly disappeared while the fight was still ongoing, and he didn't return until it was almost over. Where could he have gone that was more important than the match between the sect and the Great water serpent sect? "....." Harith suddenly be ame silent. He hadn't thought of a viable excuse, and he could really tell Cho cheong that he had left the match to go on a dangerous chase with a girl that he had barely known for days....it didn't sound right in any way he tried to imagine it. "No answer?" Cho cheong raised her eyebrow in suspicion and asked. She had asked this same question to Harith earlier but he had dodged it, she figured he would tell her after the match was done but Harith was dodging the question again?! Something was definitely off somewhere, but she knew not to pry too much. It could be something deeply personally maybe that's why he didn't want to say anything. So she gave

Harith's top fell off and his back was revealed to elder Jang. "So much scars for one so young..." Elder Jang muttered as his eyes widened a bit. Harith was not even an adult yet and although many young practitioners often underwent many rigorous forms of training to progress in their battle power, to have this much scars at this age...and not only on the back but all over the body as well, it was something elder Jang hadn't seen for a while. "Hmmm" Elder Jang didn't focise too much on the scars, he had called Harith for a specific reason. This loss to the great water serpent sect had made him realize somethings, and now he was taking action on them. In both the matches Harith had fought in, he had performed very well, especially in the first battle against the Great water serpent sect. Elder Jang had seen these performances of Harith and since he was impressed by Harith, he decided to help him. And also, Harith possessed a gift that was coveted around t

Instantly, the hair on Harith's body all stood on edge. His whole life flashed before his eyes as the knife's edge came closer. He tried to move but he knew he was never going to make it in time, the knife was just that fast! *Thud* The knife finally landed, hitting the door of the main house. Heavy breathing came from Harith as he opened up his eyes. He had blacked out as soon as he realized he couldn't dodge the knife, he'd already accepted his fate. But....he was still alive? "Haha" Elder Jang laughed in all brightness. He was the one who had thrown the knife, and even though Harith couldn't dodge it normally, he still dodged it! "Y...you threw the knife?" Harith asked elder Jang as he tried to calm his breathing. Elder Jang had performed something of this sorts a while back but he never expected him to do it again! What the actual fuck! Was elder Jang trying to kill him or something?! "What the fuck was that?!" Harith shouted angrily. "Yo

"S...so that's why she looked like that as she left" Min jun muttered to himself. He has seen Judith as she left with Miss rose. Judith looked like someone that had been fighting for days and the energy within her was weak. So it was because of the side effects of the blood arts! "Master Jang, Isn't that a disqualification? Using a strength booster before the start of the match?" Cho cheong asked. If one used a sort of amplifier before a battle isn't it supposed to be counted as cheating and the user disqualified? "It is a disqualification...." Elder Jang said and sighed "...only under normal circumstances. But the poking rounds has few rules, and disqualification due to using an amplifier before the battle is not one of them" "Bullshit! if it's not a disqualification then why didn't we also use strength amplifiers like them eh? would it be fairer that way?!" A student shouted out his thoughts. He was visibly angered at elder jang's words. So the only rea

Red, hot, heat, blazing, flaming, all fiery sensations were unleashed upon the students skins as elder Jang brought the red pills out. Harith stared at the pills in amazement. How? How could the revelation of ten pills cause the atmosphere in the room to change so drastically. Just what were these things?! "These are fire pills, made by the highest fire practitioner of in this sect, elder Lu" Elder Jang said and raised his hand. Without further explanation his lit his hand on fire, the room becoming lit instantly. "Woah..." Harith muttered. The fire on elder Jang hand was bright enough to light up the when room, leaving no corner untouched. It really was powerful. "Now watch" Elder jang said as the flames on his hand died down and he picked up one of the fire pills. In one single move he swallowed the pill. Elder Jang sighed and closed his eyes, he seemed to be dealing with the effects of the pill and after some seconds he stabilized. Elder J
