"Are you nervous?" Connor asked Felix as they sat by a river, their fishing rod cast into the river where numerous exquisite fishes could be seen swimming around. "Nervous about what?" Felix asked staring at a fish that swam close to his fishing rod, it was just about to grab the bait when a rock flew towards it, scaring it away. "Hey that's cheating" Felix said turning to Connor who chuckled. "You snooze you lose brother, I'm asking if you're nervous about your upcoming fights, you're going up against some really strong opponents, and among them, you've managed to piss off a majority, don't you feel even a little scared" Connor replied with a grin, he felt a tug against his line, he smiled pulling out a golden fish, he placed it in a bucket by the side before shooting a victorious expression at Felix who rolled his eyes. "Do you know what's more dangerous than going up against someone who has nothing to lose?" Felix asked placing his fishing rod on the ground next to him. "
"I officially welcome you to the tournament grounds, to some this may be a regular occurrence and to others, this is their first and so to make everyone well aware of what we are about to do, I'll explain the rules" An Elder of the outer court said, amplifying his voice with his mana, in doing so, his voice boomed across the entire gathering of more than 200 Outer Disciples. "The tournament is divided into three stages, The first two stages are the elimination stages, anyone who fails these stages will not be eligible to move to the Inner Court, the first two stages consist of the Hunting stage and The Orb acculturation stage, these two stages will take place simultaneously at the same location" "To be eligible to pass the stages, you'll need to acquire at least one Mid Rank King beast corpse or corpses of lower ranked beasts that are equivalent in value to the Mid Rank King beast Corpse, A Mid Rank King beast is equivalent to 1000 point, An Early Rank King beast corpse is equiva
"Hahaha, I knew he would be here" Li Bai gave a wide smile as he watched Felix wink in their direction. "Okay so this concludes those that registered, the gateway to the challenge will open in a minute, so get ready and once again, good luck" The Elder said with a smile toward the Disciples who took in deep breaths, some were nervous, some were anxious, some were impatient to start and others like the Top ten were calm. "You guys thought I wouldn't show up, I'd rather get my head stomped by Lu Ban than miss this, woah, what's with the new look Bai, hahaha" Felix chuckled as he walked over to Li Bai and Zhang He. "I won't lie, you're good at making your entrance" Zhang He remarked with a smile, the way Felix had the whole Outer Court by their necks, it was epic. "And getting the attention on yourself, look, we got company" Li Bai also added gesturing toward a group that walked towards them, as they moved, the crowd patted to reveal the top ten squad with Chu Yang in the lead.
"Arrrggg" Vane frowned in pain as he opened his eyes groggily, his vision was blurry and he felt pain everywhere, all he heard was a ringing sound in his ears but after a while, he finally started hearing something that sounded like his name. "VANE!" He heard his name clearly from the side, he turned to see Mulan rushing to him, and finally, everything came back to him, how Lu Ban's lackey had reached for the orb, and how it had exploded but Vane had pushed Mulan out of the explosion's range just in time, but he had also been caught in it. "Vane are you alright?" Mulan asked after getting to Vane's location. "Arrg, nope I'm definitely not okay" Vane replied getting to his feet amidst the scorching pain that spread across his entire body, he glanced down at himself and realized that he had only been thrown back by the explosion, he was lucky to have only gone off with a few broken bones, the ones closer to the explosion were a different case. "Thanks for saving me" Mulan said g
"Drop all the loot that you've acquired so far and leave" Felix commanded in a cold voice, he didn't even need to release his aura for the group to know that he was serious. "Hmmp, you wouldn't dare har--" Before Talon could even finish speaking, Felix's sword sliced across his neck causing him to be covered by a whitish glow before disappearing, a decisive action that caused the hearts of the others to tighten, even Zhang He was a little stunned. "Anyone else wants to debate?" Felix asked with a grin, without even responding, the remaining group emptied their loot onto the ground immediately, if they refused, they would be eliminated and taken out of this stage, although they would still have what they had hunted with them, it might not be enough to make the quota requested, but if they did as they were told, they would be able to at least hunt more beasts, it was easy to make the right choice. "Good now scram" Felix smiled at the group then blasted his aura at them making them
[Narrator Voice: Li Bai] [I met Chu years ago, back when I was still a kid, our first meeting was funny actually, and it was because of what happened that made me friends with him so quickly] [I remember it like it was yesterday, it was 5 years ago, back in my hometown, we were having our Yearly Tournament, and things were going smoothly] Two figures clashed on a huge stage, one looked exactly like Li Bai, except that he was a younger version, the second also shared a striking similarity to Li Bai, the hair and face but there were clear differences, the second was older and had a more longer hair which glowed more significantly than that if Li Bai. Although the battle was interesting, the spectators could see that the younger version of Li Bai was being suppressed by the attacks of his opponents. "You got stronger Bai" The older version of Li Bai remarked while blocking the numerous attacks of his opponent whose attacks turned more frantic after hearing those words, seeing t
[After that battle of my brother with Chu Yang, I had full confidence in my brother's words, I knew that if I had been in that situation with my brother, I wouldn't have come out without at least a few broken bones, but Chu Yang had only suffered one hit and had even inflicted an injury of his own] [Years passed and we grew into fine young men, from that moment on, Chu Yang with his friendly nature grew closer to my brother and I, he and my brother had more bouts and I watched every time, learning something each time they fought, My brother was quick to adapt but Chu Yang always had new applications of Mana that we had never even heard of before, soon enough we were as close as brothers and with our parents being stepbrothers, it further strengthened our bond] [Everything was going well until one day, Something happened that changed everything between us] [Time: 1 year ago] "Did you hear about the new Sect gaining popularity, I heard it's a four-and-a-half or even a five-star
A group of 5 consisting of Su Yang as the lead, Han Sen, Wang Xiong, Lu Han, and Felix walked through a dark cave, there was only one orb of glowing light leading them and a fireball which Felix who was the rear had conjured. "We're getting closer, get ready for anything" Su Yang said as they got closer to where the narrow cave branched out into a bigger open cavern. Felix took a deep breath and grabbed the sword by his waist, his eyes turned serious, and the others around him also turned serious. "We're here" Han Sen muttered, he glanced at the huge space before him, there were light crystals in the wall which illuminated the cavern and gave the group a full view of the cave. The first thing the group spotted was the three eggs positioned atop an altar that had a large pond that took almost half of the space in the cave next to it, next to the eggs stood a statue holding a huge sword, "Where's the beast?" Wang Xiong asked after looking around but no sigh. "One" Su Yang s
