Hao Feng had the brightest smile on his face. This woman had really stuck to her words and actually given him the emerald eyes. He just had to beat her candidate...which he did easily. Even he was surprised at how easy he had done that. Sure he had a few cuts here and there but that was all, she didn't really prove much trouble in taking down.

"Guys what are you waiting for?" Hao Feng excitedly said to the crowd and he waved his emerald eyes for all to see.

"She really did give him!"

"It wasn't even that hard for Hao Feng to beat him" The crowd was ecstatic. Hao Feng was a average at best in terms of power but he had still easily taken the girl down. If they went then it was basically free emerald eyes assured.

"I wanna go next!"

"No me me, elder Jang pick me!" The students struggled to come forward. Elder Jang on the other hand wasn't too happy. This girl Rose had brought felt so weak compared to what he expected from an average Great water serpent sect youth practitioner. The average Great water serpent sect youth practitioner should not be too far off in level from Baxia.

"Jang chi, wouldn't you pick one and continue?" Rose asked as she carried Amber's unconscious body in her arms and dropped her in a safer place. She then fed her a little white pill.

"Hmm" Elder Jang nodded and looked at the crowd of students. This time he would pick one of the weakest and see how it goes. "You, go and try" Elder Jang said as he pointed at a skinny boy.

Min jun had a look of disbelief. He didn't expect to be picked out of everyone since he was weaker than them. He thought elder Jang wouldn't want to pick a weak student to represent the house but still volunteered anyway. And as the heavens willed it Elder Jang picked him!

The other person beside Rose stepped forward and removed the hood covering her face. Like the crowd expected it was another stunning beauty.

"Ayo did they come to fight or come to woo us" One student voiced out his thoughts as he salivated.

The other showed their agreement, they were all enticed. Only the few girls in there seemed to be somewhat disgusted. So what if they were pretty? They were still very weak!

"I am Clarice" The girl said and bowed like her partner had done earlier.

"Min jun" Min jun was much more calmer than Hao Feng when speaking. Right now he would be going against this girl. Assuming she was of the same level with the girl from earlier then, although the match would be quite tough for him, he had confidence that he would be able to win.

Clarice said nothing more after and just stood her ground seemingly waiting for Min jun to make the first move.

"Ah" Min jun let out a sigh and opened his hand, it in was a stone tied with rope that seemed very flexible. Min jun looked at it, this object right here was a weapon he had chanced upon during his early days. He had practiced much with it and had grown to become almost untouchable when he wielded it. His hand to hand combat wasn't great but atleast he had this...this would go in tandem with his fire.

Min jun held the stone by it's rope and swung it from the bottom at Clarice.

Clarice Bent her body backwards and evaded the stone, then she jerked her hand. Out of it came a spike made of ice that headed towards min jun at great speed.

Min jun raised is left arm and yanked the stone rope of the stone causing it to fall back to him. He predicted the direction so precisely that as the stone came back to him it destroyed the icicle also.

Min jun then spun around and the stone that had come back to him once again returned to Clarice. Clarice hadn't expected it and she took a hit to the chest.

The small stone had a very powerful impact on one's body, it was the very definition of small but mighty. Clarice fell and cough a little before getting back up.

Min jun charged at her as he wrapped the rope that had extended around his arm. He could effortlessly switch from long range combat to close range combat with this thing, that was why he loved it so much.

Wooshing sounds were made as the powerful force of the stone came in contact with the innocent wind. they all aimed for none but Clarice.

Clarice was feeling the heat as she started to sweat profusely while doing her best to maintain her balance and also effectively evade the stone. Min jun didn't even give her any chance to counter attack or even make use of her powers, he was just too aggresive

"Aha" In their exchanges min jun got close enough and his left arm flamed. Since Clarice was so focused on dodging the stone she had forgotten that he was a fire user, he didn't just have to attack with only the stone!

*Bam* Min jun hit with his charged left fist. Punch came in contact with ribs and damage was done.

Clarice crashed to the ground and scrunched up into a ball as she hugged her mid sections tightly.

"You win" Rose's voice immediately announced.

"Pfft" Min jun burst out into laughter. What the hell was this thing! The fight hadn't even lasted up to two minutes and the supposed strong water serpent sect students was already whimpering and defeated.

"Like I promised" Rose said and tossed him two emerald eyes.

"So easy..." Min jun muttered as he received the emerald eyes, his eyes filled with joy.

Harith observed this fight from a distance. He didn't have any fancy weapon or powers but he certainly could have done better than that girl in fighting Min jun. If it was that easy for her to be defeated then he took had to take a chance! He just might earn some emerald eyes!

Elder Jang was genuinely shocked this time. Why were the two candidates Rose brought so weak? Was she trying to mock them or something? Surely she didn't bring them just so she could have an excuse to give his students free emerald eyes.

"Why did you bring them here for a fight if they're so weak?" Elder Jang asked with a not so happy look.

"Wow Jang chi, your students really are strong. It seems you've been training them well" Rose had a surprised look. They had defeated her students so easily, she was impressed!

"...." Elder Jang was left speechless. It seemed like the water serpent sect students were just this weak. He hadn't expected it as the water serpent sect was always the most powerful out of the four core sects. And their young ones grew more powerful with every generation, but it seems they've fallen back.

But Elder Jang still wasn't willing to let things be. He had to find out exactly how weak they were. So he decided to choose his weakest student.

"You, Harith is it?" Elder Jang saw Harith watching among the crowd so he called out to him.

"Ah yes" Harith was surprised but still answered the call.

"Come fight" Elder Jang said.

"Eh? Me?" Harith asked in shock. Sure he had said earlier that he wanted to fight but when it actually came down to it, he didn't have the confidence that he could win. He had only taking small martial arts classes in his previous life, apart from that he was basically useless as they said.

"Yes, don't you want to improve? This'll be a great way to train" Elder Jang assured him. Everyone knew sparring was one of the best methods of training, it taught someone what to expect in a real battle. Even though Harith couldn't quite use his fire element yet, he could still train in other areas.

"The useless bastard?" Someone blurted out.

Harith immediately frowned and looked in the direction where the voice came. As he looked at the boy who had spoke he recognized him almost immediately, this boy was part of the group that had mocked him during the young master's ceremony!

"Quiet!" Elder Jang immediately hushed the crowd and kept speaking to Harith. "Just give it a try"

Rose narrowed her eyes as she watched. From what she could access it looked like the kid Jang chi had all was disregarded among the students. And from the name, it seemed like he was also the weakest. Jang chi really had the guts to bring his weakest student.

"Just you wait" Rose muttered as she looked at a certain boy in the crowd holding a sword.

"Ok" Harith suddenly didn't mind fighting again. He could see some people in the crowd holding in their laughter as he walked out, they didn't even take him seriously at all! Their mockery infuriated him, they were embarrassing him in front of the beauties goddamnit!

Harith walked to the front and stood in front of his opponent. It was the girl that had fought the first time, she was conscious now after being fed the pill and it seemed like she was ready to fight again.

"Harith" Harith bowed and said.

The girl bowed too but didn't say anything. She had already introduced herself earlier, there was no use of doing it the second time.

As soon as they were done with greeting, the popular fan made it's appearance. It's blades reflected the light of the sun, it really looked menacing.

Harith gulped and hardened his heart. Win or lose atleast he would gain a bit of experience from this matcha and experience first hand how the battles in this world felt.

He spread his feet should width apart and tucked in his elbows with his hands a little higher up and his palms facing outwards. With a deep breath he closed them into a fist and waited for Amber's attack.

"Hmm? What kind of stance is that?"

"I've never seen that stance before. It must be rubbish made up by him" The students continued mocking Harith as soon as he adopted his stance.

Harith had a look for confusion as he heard the voices. What the fuck were these guys talking about?! They had never seen the Muay Thai stance before?!

As soon as Harith was distracted, a fist came out of nowhere and quickly covered his vision. Harith swiftly shifted his head backward and grabbed the hand in front of his face. He drew the hand forward m, pulling it's owner along with it and he punched without care.

Surprisingly the attack was successful and the punch knocked her out instantly. Harith looked at his fists in shock. "The fuck is going on!" Harith exclaimed.

Amber had been knocked cold with just one punch from him? He did expect it to be that easy! It was like the battle kept getting easier and easier!

"Here boy" Rose smile and threw the two emerald eyes at him. She looked inside the pouch "Only four remaining, two fights left" She didn't look too bothered that her candidate had been defeated with one punch by Elder Jang's weakest student.

Harith caught the eyes and he could immediately sense why the others were so happy when they received the emerald eyes. He could already feel something like a cool refreshing wave of energy washing all over him as soon as he touched the emerald eyes!

    "It's remaining two pairs, if you want to fight now's your chance" Rose said as she looked in a certain direction with intent."Let me go this time" As soon as young master Baxia saw her look. He felt suspicious that she kept looking at him but he didn't focus on that. His focus was on the emerald eyes. If he didn't step up before the others the emerald eyes may be gone just when he could."Come on out then" Rose answered In place of elder Jang with enthusiasm. Young master Baxia looked at Elder Jang for his approval and since elder Jang had nothing to be suspicious about he just let him go. It wouldn't even last up to a minute before Baxia would win and he'd resume his time with his students."Eh? Wasn't she knocked out before?" A student pointed at Amber who was now standing opposite young master Baxia. Of course they found it strange, it was unlike before when she was fed the pill and took some time to become conscious. Now immediately Young master Baxia stepped up she just surpri

    The next dayHarith had woken up very early and started with the stance right away. It was about five in the morning so everywhere was dark and silent, but this was what Harith preferred. The undisturbed silence gave him the leisure to focus more on the state he attained."Now let's see your magic" Harith muttered as he brought out the three emerald eyes he had earned...well he stole one but still most of it was earned. He placed two in his palms and one in front of him and sat on his bed cross legged. He placed his hands on his thighs and joined his fingers together. He then closed his eyes and breathe rhythmically.Sure this wasn't the position Elder Jang had taught him to stay in. But he had found out that one didn't necessarily have to adopt a particular stance before they could gather energy. So he stayed in a way that he was more comfortable with.The book he bought earlier had shown him in detail how the emerald eyes could be used for training. Now to understand that one must f

    "Come here, sit down." Cho cheong guided Harith to her chair as he held his nose. She brought out a handkerchief from her pocket and offered it to him."Thanks" Harith took the handkerchief and pressed it on his nose. There was still much blood on it so the handkerchief was soaked in a few seconds.Cho cheong offered him another and finally the blood rush was stable."You shouldn't be getting into fights now, you know you're still not strong enough. How would you have defended yourself if Dang ju really wanted to attack you?" Cho cheong nagged him with a worried look."A fight? He was the one who attacked me when I did nothing to him!" Harith was perplexed at her words. The fuck did she mean he got into a fight, getting into a fight involved two or more parties mutually attacking each other. That was not the case earlier."Did you by any chance insult his looks or say anything about his body?" Cho cheong asked."...." Harith was speechless. He had a guilty look. He had clearly called

    Harith had a smile as he walked back to the marketplace. He was feeling especially happy as he looked at the red bead on his hand. Sure, an emerald eye was probably worth more than this bead but he had a plan in place. A plan that would grant him both the bead and the emerald eye. For now, he was satisfied with just this."Harith! I'm happy I met you here" As Harith reached the marketplace cho cheong called him from afar. She seemed like she was in search of something."What are you doing out here on this hot afternoon?" Harith asked with a smile."Tch" Cho cheong hissed and tapped him on the head. "So should I just stay home all day?" "ow!" Harith held his forehead "aren't you the one always concerned about your skin?!" Harith puffed earning another knock from Cho cheong."Shut it and help me" Cho cheong rolled her eyes.Harith rubbed the his forehead. He was certain it had gotten red...that little devil.

    As the two finally left the confines of the sect, Harith was surprised to see the outer world. There was a barrier surrounding the whole sect, it seemed to be as a result of the earlier incident with the young master. But as they stepped out of the barrier Harith wasn't expecting what he saw."R...rocks?" Harith looked around. The gate of the sect was just behind them, but apart from that everything around him was full of nothing but rocks. Red rocks that looked like they had been endlessly hammered by the scorching sun that showed no mercy to man and earth alike."It's not just all rocks" Cho cheong rolled her eyes and picked up the pace. It was almost night time so they had to atleast get to the nearest transport station before that."Where do we go from here?" Harith asked. From what he could see, the rocks stretched endlessly never having an ending. "There's a transport station nearby. It's just about five kilometers from here" She said as she kicked a nearby stone."Huh?!" Harit

    This was Harith's first time of seeing one(obviously). It had the head of a lion but the body of a horse. Very strange and fear inspiring."phew" Cho cheong exhaled a breath of relief. She was glad to see they had really arrived. No matter how much she travelled she still couldn't get used to the dangers and liabilities. That was part of the reason why she had Harith come with her. But seeing as they had arrived safely she could now relax."uh...u have something on your cheek" Harith shakily pointed to cho cheong's mouth."hmm?" Cho cheong said as she touched her lips. She felt a bumb on it, a bumb that had a very tough texture and felt like it was segmented.She immediately panicked and smacked her cheeks not caring for the damage it could possibly do to her face.The thing she had smacked away jumped and landed on Harith's arm. Harith in turn panicked. The shii felt like a huge fucking cockroach crawling on his arms. She waved his hand around violently, even going to the point of se

    Wang minThe eldest of them was Heng. A handsome man with hair that flowed like the waves on the sea, he wore robes and had a staff in his hand. His eyes were calm pools of blue, and his skin was soft but clear. He liked spending time outdoors, tending to the plants and trees around him. When he came across a beautiful girl, he would take her home and spend some time with her alone. It was no secret to the world how much he liked women, and most people thought it was because of how strong the water source was there.However... it wasn’t exactly true. One day, Heng had taken a stroll through the city. His mind was filled with thoughts of flowers and other beautiful creatures, and as he made his way through the crowd, he accidentally bumped into someone. This surprised him at first, since everyone knew that there weren't many people who walked about like he did. But the person he'd bumped into looked oddly familiar. As he stood there and took stock of his surroundings, he realized that h

    Kain

    The emperor is a man of many secrets and few words; his face has never been seen by anyone outside the palace walls since he was born in this country thousands of years ago. His father died when Shoan was very young so that meant it was up to him now to protect the empire from its enemies both foreign and domestic. He had no choice but to be strong for those who depended on him, even if they didn't deserve it. In truth though he could have done without them all together because some were just too annoying or stupid to deal with. One day while sitting alone in his office pondering over how best to kill someone, which took forever these days thanks to their constant neediness, an idea struck him like lightning through a thunderstorm—he would make sure everyone else dies before killing himself. The only problem was that there wasn't enough time left between one person dying and another being born to get everything done in a timely manner…unless he found a way around that pesky little fac

    The first thing he noticed was the smell. The air in the room stank of blood and death, but it wasn't a sweet scent like that of freshly spilled entrails or a butcher's shop. It smelled more like the sour tang of old vomit mixed with urine, which made him think of his mother's chamber pot after she'd been sick for days on end. He wrinkled his nose at the thought and tried to ignore the odor as best he could, though it didn't do much good. His stomach still growled loudly enough to make him wince."You're awake," said a voice from behind him. "That's a start."He turned around slowly, trying not to look too eager. A man sat against one wall, watching him intently. He had dark hair and eyes, and a scar ran across his face just below his left eye. He wore black leather armor and carried a longsword strapped to his back.His name came to mind almost immediately: Captain Rolfe.Rolfe stood up and walked over to the bedside. He pulled back the sheets and looked down at Aram's body. Then he r

    A brief moment of silence filled the audience as they watched a person exit the Battlefield through the circle barrier. An elimination had occured....an elimination of a member of the raging flames sect?!An instant roar came from the crowd as soon as Jung du landed on the outside of the circle."w...what?!" Jung du looked around him carefully and then looked in front. He could clearly see the barrier seperaying him and the others inside the circle. But how? How was it possible? Had he been eliminated?!The first point of the first elimination had actually gone to the Great water Serpent sect's side, even against the odds. How?! ....Judith smirk got even wider as she took a quick glancce at Jung du and retrieved her hammer. She had scored the first elimination for her team, as a captain that was one of the best things she could do to uplift her team's spirit."Damnit" Sao gang muttered as he dodged an icy blue knife that was thrown his way.

This was the thing alice had relied on to take him by surprise and then she called him weak after. She had repelled a sure hit attack right back to the user... it was something Harith could very much use if he ever got his hands on it. ..... *Boom* The ice on the floor shattered into pieces as Layla crash on it. But without wasting time sulking on the icy floor, Layla swallowed her pain and got right up. With a heavy jump she flew upwards, flinging herself towards Baxia and grabbing him by the neck. Baxia had a face filled with irritation..These four were hell bent on stopping him from making his move. And they knew they couldn't win in a fair fight so they were trying to stop him from achieving victory, at least this way. Baxia didn't think Layla would ever let go of him but still... he couldn't afford to t

    Harith wheezed and gasped for air as he tried to take Alice's leg away from his chest but it was to no avail. The earlier attack had really weakened him. He didn't have the slightest idea of what happened. First he had made an attack and successfully predicted that Alice would dodge it, and then he made a backup attack-One that was guaranteed to hit. But as soon as he made the attack he was struck...What the fuck was going on! "I expected more" Alice clicked her tongue, the candy in her mouth dancing around. With a rise of her arms she lifted up the scythe and brought it down with all her power! *Crack!* As soon as Alice lifted up the scythe and exposed her face, a punch came crashing into her. The punch was so devastating it dislocated Alice's jaw. Alice's eyes turned and she staggered backwards, struggling to even keep hold of her scythe. *Bang!* Before Alice could recover from the first punch, another one came in. This time right to the temple. Never in her life had alice fe

    "Stop him!" Layla shouted as she rushed towards Baxia, leaving her opponent behind. She couldn't give a shit about who it was that she faced, all that was on her mind was protecting her sister from this monster of a guy. The raging flames sect students were more than surprised, three of their members had suddenly become free of fighting. The Great water serpent sect students they faced before had all retreated to go defend Judith. It was now Five versus Nine- The five being the remaining members of the Great water Serpent, and the Nine being the Members of the great water serpent sect without Baxia. Harith, though, wasn't as fortunate at the rest. The Petite girl with ponytails and a candy in her mouth still refused to leave Harith. Harith was frustrated, he had only met this girl once-Which was the during the time the raging flames sect first fought the great water serpent sect in the poking rounds. And even then, their encounter was short. But now, why

    Putting one's trait to good use

    Outside the circleThe Great water serpent sect's side was so quiet that if one dropped a pin in the midst of them, they would hear it. The students in the circle were among the strongest of the sect, and Judith was the second strongest....second only to the sect master's daughter. But still- Baxia had knocked her out cold in one punch like it was second nature. And he just Knocked out another one of the students! Elder Jang had a smile on his face. He knew who Baxia was. Baxia couldn't accept any form of defeat without retaliating, even at the cost of his life. Although this trait made taking stupid decisions common for Baxia, this time, elder Jang was going to put the trait to good use.
