Lee could be seen seated in a lotus position on a bed in a small room that had only a wooden table and chair, this didn't look like the proper room of Lee in his father's residence. It was with no doubt not Lee's room, after Lee had accepted the Dragon call needles, he had wanted to start cultivating the art, but courtesy demanded him not to, with him not able to fulfill this wish he decided to lose himself in his thoughts and that was what he did till the auction ended, he didn't even know what the main item was, he speedily left the palace and searched around for an inn where he could rent and cultivate the art, it didn't take long before he found one. Lee brought out the scroll and needles from his storage ring, he unfolded the scroll and began to read through the content, it took a while before he digested everything. Lee could not help but shake his head, no wonder cultivators ran mad, you had to place your mind under some certain amount of pressure, it was like placing an heav
Lee remained motionless for several breaths, the sudden change of events, and the realization that he would have ran mad if his sword totem didn't interfere gave him goosebumps, his robe was wet from sweat as though a bucket of water had been poured on him."If my sword totem hadn't interfered, that is how my mind would have been thrown in chaos, whoever created this is crazy, I bought with my hands what could have almost killed me" Lee couldn't help but shake his head, a part of him was wishing he had let the dark skinned man buy the art."I wasn't traumatized for nothing, at least I ended up creating mental energy" Lee grinned like a Cheshire cat, Lee immediately opened the box containing the needles, he was anxious to test how mental energy worked, he closed his eyes and directed his consciousness towards the mental space which resided in his forehead same as his dantian.Lee wrapped his mind around the floating milky white mental energy ball, it was the first form of mental energy
Lee stared at the wooden token on his hands, and he couldn't help but grin, it was slowly getting closer to the matches, the token was quite similar to the one given to him in the Raging storm palace, it was inscribed with the number '22', the first set of battles that were coordinated in the Arena of heroes were in form of a battle royale, they went in, in groups of varying numbers depending on the amount of participants for each cultivation stage.No matter the amount of participants, the number of groups would not exceed sixteen, but in rare cases could only be lower.For the stage which Lee had registered for which was the fourth stage, they were to go in a group of eight, so this eight would engage in a battle royale, were only one person was needed, so in a group only one winner was needed....…"Citizens of Vine city, another edition of battles is about to occur in the Arena of Heroes, are you excited?!"A very sonorous and energy filled voice rang out throughout the stadium, L
"Boom!""Boom!"In few seconds Lee and Youngblood had exchanged several blows, and with every clash, Lee seemed to have the upper hand, Youngblood was beyond shocked he couldn't understand how he a mystical blood injector is been suppressed by a Essence swordsman in body strength!"Boom!"Lee hacked Blueflame towards Youngblood's head who immediately blocked with his heavy sword, the power behind the attack sent him taken several steps backwards."I don't know how you manage to posses such demonic strength, but I tell you I'm going to end this child's play right now" Youngblood snorted. He clenched his fists hard, mustering all the mystical blood power he could handle, the lightning dancing through his eyes doubled, a faint cry of a bird rang out from his throat, his aura had become extremely domineering, he was planning to go all out. It sounds long but all of it happened in few breaths"It's a Lightning Crow mystical blood he absorbed!" Lee muttered slightly under his breath, this b
"I admit defeat!" With despondency in his voice, Youngblood yelled out.Gasps of shock filled the Arena, the duration of time Lee used to defeat the latter was pretty short, it was less than twenty breaths, the others in stage had shock flash across their eyes."Such a lad!""I place my bet on him!"The crowd began to cheer, as to them a new source of money had appeared, it was in this same breath that another scream of pain filled the air."I admit defeat!!" This latter didn't yell with sadness, but pains, his face was badly battered, his garments were drenched with blood, he looked more like a rag doll.When Lee stared at the cultivator who did it, he was no longer shock at the state of the wounded man.The man was a human giant, he was more than burly, each of his arms were like twice of Lee's thighs, he wore gauntlets that were shining like as though light was reflected on it.From what Lee could see the man was a brute, his aura and presence was very intimidating, he hailed the c
"Fellow cultivator I'm Iron Fist" The human giant said as he bowed slightly."I'm Blue. I hope you take it easy on me" Lee said as he also bowed. It was easy for him to defeat the duo because they weren't too strong, not as Youngblood who even could have also defeated them, the man's speed was quite enough.The duo had already left the platform, as for the cultivator with daggers, after been hit by such attack, It wasn't surprising that he passed out."Hmmph!" The human giant only snorted and didn't say anything more, he slammed his gauntlet covered fist together, which disrupted the air a bit, the message was simple, he didn't talk much his fist did the talking!"I think this is the end for this lad!""It's the end. Iron Fist is a usual in the top 16, he isn't going to lose this match!""I place my bet on Iron Fist!"Several voices rang out among the crowd, they seemed to have envisioned Lee crawling out of the platform.Lee took on a battle stance, Iron Fist who had unleashed his my
" Father I'm a bit anxious "" Silly, why should you be. If you are anxious how do you expect the others to feel, you should know that your swordplay is the best and those that can match you can be counted with my fingers! "Hearing this, a young lad's face suddenly became bright with a somewhat cheeky smile.Seeing this a middle aged man who stood beside him shook his head helplessly." Brat, so that's what you wanted, you just wanted me to praise you?! "" It always feel pleasing when i hear you say it " the lad said with a more radiant smile on his face.&
"Begin!"" *Inhale* " Lee who had been anxiously waiting took in a deep breath and then, immediately entered into a meditative state clearing his mind of every thought whatsoever.Seeing that the ceremony had officially began, Lee's father couldn't help but clench his already sweaty hands under his sleeves, while a nervous glint flashed across his eyes.**********" Hu la! Hu la! "Like the sound of rushing waters, dense energy began to pour out of the energy outlandish stones and was getting absorbed by the hungry bodies of the participants.************The process was extremely long and so it took several hours before they began to see results.The first to succeed was a young man with pale yellow eyes added to his lean and lanky body
