The fight tilted into an intense one on one, where both parties cannot conjure up a elaborate spell because of the other opponent's speed. The only spells and techniques that they could conjure up, are the ones that they can subconsciously apply without further thinking. Such as basic enchantments, and step techniques.Which could only do so much in such an intense battle. For the other contestants, the battle was an exciting one. It was then they realized how much the two were holding back on their past opponents. That, or the fact that these two knew so much of eachother's habits that they could not help but step up their game.The wind picked up, and this time, it was not limited inside the barrier. The hats of the bystanders that was watching on the seats around the arena was starting to get blown up by the wind. Even the podium that Zhi Ruo and the others was in started to get a little bit too airy.It was like the wind was heeding to someone's call, and not even the barrier coul
The crackling of the winds did nothing to ease the relentless pursuit Huo Feng was doing on Yu Zhúlín. Significant injuries already appeared on both of the two fighting contestants bodies but neither seemed to have noticed, nor wanted to stop. Their glowing eyes clashed almost eeriely against eachother.And only those with keen senses were the only ones that could see their glowing eyes. Zhi Ruo in particular, felt odd watching the two fighting. Especially both of her senior brother's eyes, she felt that it was familiar of some type of way. But she could not out point why it was familiar.Why would a pair of eyes, much less glowing ones at that, be familiar of some sort? Sadly enough, their wasn't a single Ye clan member around Zhi Ruo now, to teach her the significance of such keen observation. However, even though Zhi Ruo could not ask anybody now. It doesn't mean that she cannot ask later.The girl stood up, and searched for Ravel amongst the crowd, her body was seen peeking out of
The storms suddenly quelled, and there was another person in the middle of the fight. With outstretched arms, the practioner held a talisman on his hand. The whole arena stilled, and slowly, Yu Zhúlín descended to the ground. The glow on his eyes was slowly retreating, and so was his powers.Huo Feng sighed, disappointed, and his powers also retreated much like Yu Zhúlín's. When the two contestant's powers retreated, it revealed the deep set of injuries the two had. But it was obvious that Yu Zhúlín managed to defend himself more properly, because his injuries weren't as bad as Huo Feng's.The practitioner looked at Huo Feng and Yu Zhúlín, and gave them both a knowing look. Yu Zhúlín who looked to still be looking his powers away, did not notice the look that the practioner was giving them. However, Huo Feng certainly saw it, it only deepened his disappointed smile."The winner of this fight has been decided." The practioner's booming vouce woke Yu Zhúlín up from his stupor. He glance
The winner of the latest battle towards his seat with a harrumph. Clearly intended so that Zhi Ruo could hear him. But the girl merely rolled her eyes at him, and although Yu Zhúlín could not see Zhi Ruo's expression. His face morphed when he thought that Zhi Ruo might have rolled her eyes at him.His thoughts were proven correct, but he had no way of knowing about it. He just felt like Zhi Ruo would be the type of person to roll their eyes at situations like this. Han Wanran poked Zhi Ruo at her sides, but the girl dodged by moving a little. "You just hurt his feelings." Han Wanran pipped from the sidelines. His face revealed a hint of teasing smile. But Zhi Ruo didn't have any outward reaction to this."Did I now?" Zhi Ruo's reply was a question, but the way she phrased it was bent unto more of a statement than a question. From the corners, Yu Zhúlín's face morphed into a grimace hearing Zhi Ruo. The remaining contestants on the podium exploded into chatter, no one brought up the
Ravel slipped inside the podium when Zhi Ruo left along with Han Wanran, he was smiling as he handed the contestants some refreshments. Yu Zhúlín in particular, could not help but glance at the butler with a peculiar look. As if he was silently asking why Ravel was still around, when his master wasn't around.Like he already knew what Yu Zhúlín wanted, Ravel shot the green haired man man a uncanny smile. He smiled, but he remained silent while he served refreshments. Yu Zhúlín's silent question was silently unanswered by Ravel.Yu Zhúlín didn't chase after the whole thing, seeing that Ravel wasn't keen on initiating the first move. And he wasn't about to complain, not when Ravel was serving them such amazing refreshments. Yu Zhúlín didn't care enough about why Ravel is on the podium, at least, for now, his curiousity wasn't worth much more than the food Ravel served.Alberu on the other hand, took Ravel's actions thinking that he was under Zhi Ruo's orders. He wasn't like Yu Zhúlín w
"Well, let me see what you have." Zhi Ruo brandished her weapon. And the ancient weapon vibrated dully. Like it was being awakened. The air was hot, but it didn't effect Zhi Ruo one bit, she has faced much more painful heat from her wraith devourers than this pretty little trick Han Wanran was doing.'He's a double elemental master.' Zhi Ruo summed up. She doesn't have any proof now, but she has a gut feeling that it is. She looked as Han Wanran stayed fine even under the heat that he induced. After all, to be able to produce fire doesn't mean it grants you instant immunity from it.With keep eyes, Zhi Ruo watched as a steady stream of steam came out from her opponent's pores. 'Water?' Zhi Ruo thought, the element immediately came up in her mind. Her cautious nature proved to be useful, because she actually already guessed Han Wanran's second element.Water. Fire, and water was an unlikely combo, though Zhi Ruo guessed that Han Wanran probably didn't use his fire ability because of t
Han Wanran choked on his spit, as the air was knocked out of his system. The moment he was hit higher in to the air, the wraith devourers were quick to act, and was chasing the flying Han Wanran through the air. Their intend was shown bluntly, it was apparent that they wanted him to get burned.With blurry eyes, Han Wanran muttered something under his breath. And a ball of water instantly enveloped his entire body. As the wraith devourers got nearer, Han Wanran realized the the air was threatening to burn him alive if he did not do something. In the heat of the moment, he conjured up a ball of water to try and subdue the heat. However, he could not maintain the temperature of the water. In the end he let the water disapate in the air, if he was still stubborn on keeping the water as is, he would have been cooked alive.Which was something he wasn't planning on doing yet. Han Wanran's body slowed down his ascension to the sky. He wasn't propelled higher anymore. Rather, right now, he
"look at her go.""I bet my good money on her, she better win.""That weapon sure is amazing, to be able to withstand that throw. Even with the barrier on, I swore my eardrums is still ringing.""Forget about the weapon, did you see the damage the weapon made to that other guy? That must have hurt.""Hurt would be and understatement I tell you.""I'm surprised that the guy is still alive. If I was him, I would have already died on the spot.""Brother, you can't compare yourself to the people that are on the path of cultivation.""I'm just saying, you didn't have to take it far too literally."The fight continued, however, Han Wanran wasn't dreading the fact that he will crash down. He was now dreading the fact that he 'could not' come down. Even if he wanted to. He was now trying to find ways to make his body touch the ground, but he wasn't a wind elementalist. He could not weave his body through the air naturally.He had two to three broken ribs now, and because he was in the air, an
