It was a new day in the Sect and the Outer Disciples were hyped up like they were high, why, you might ask? . It was because today marked the start of the Third stage of the Outer Court Tournament, the combat stage where selected disciples go all out to prove who was the strongest, the selections had already been done and the disciples who had not qualified and those who had qualified were all anticipating the start of the first phase. "Wooo, let's go" Li Bai screamed out together with the cheering crowd, he sat in the stands for the spectators, together with Zhang He and Felix, and Yang Mi who they had found out was an Inner Disciple, of course, this shocked them more than anything, but after thinking it true, it made sense partially because even though she was always with them, she never actually put herself into any given situation, she only spectated from the side, this was the rule given to all those at the Inner Court and above, they were strictly forbidden to interfere in
"Are you both ready?" The Referee asked Tie Butian and Su Yang who stood some distance away from each other on the stage. "Ready" They both replied at the same time. "Let the battle commence" The referee announced stepping off the ring. Su Yang calmly stared at Tie Butian whose expression was as serious as ever, he gripped his staff tightly, lightning flickering across his hand and the staff. "Last year, I couldn't last more than ten moves against you, but this year is going to be different, I've trained my lightning to the next stage" Tie Butian said confidently striking his staff onto the ground causing sparks to fly out in all directions. "Hmm, that's nice" Su Yang remarked with a nod which made Tie Butian's eyes twitch, how could he give such a plain answer like this? "I'll make you acknowledge me" Tie Butian gritted his teeth, his hair flickering with lightning, the next second, he disappeared dashing forward at an insane speed, in an instant he had arrived in front o
"That was an epic fight to watch, wow, I wonder who's up next" No sooner had Li Bai finished speaking than Zhang He who was standing next to him stood up with a calm expression. "You're up next huh, good luck" Felix said wishing Zhang He who smiled and nodded in reply. "Try not to lose" Li Bai and Yang Mi called out towards the receding figure of Zhang He who shook his head in reply. "I'll be right back" Yang Mi who was also seated said to Felix and got up then walked off making Felix wonder where she was going. "You're up against the Son of the Dragon General, he's strong so it'll be a tough choice to make, you or him?" Chu Yang remarked to Yi Yeye who walked to the stage with a scoff, she was the only one out of the top ten who treated Chu Yang coldly but it didn't bother him one bit. "The next battle will be between Zhang He and Yi Yeyu, are both sides ready?" The Referee announced and then asked both parties who nodded in reply. "Then let the battle commence" The refer
"Zhang, Zhang, Zhang wake up" Zhang He slowly opened his eyes to the familiar sound of a voice he had known his whole life calling him. He opened his eyes and found himself in a small space, he lay on a seat which trembled with every movement making him realize that he was in a carriage, he glanced up and saw the beautiful face of his mother staring at him with love. "Mother" Zhang He called out watching the woman sit back while peeping outside the window. "We're almost there" The woman said with a wide smile to the young Zhang He who looked two years older than his current self. "Mother..." Zhang He said as if trying to say something but he closed his mouth sadly. "Zhang'er, are you okay?" The woman asked worriedly after noticing Zhang He's expression. "I have a bad feeling about this, he left us alone for all these years and suddenly wants to take us back after realizing my talent" Zhang He replied with a sigh making his mother smile and take his hands in hers. "Listen
"WOAHHHHHH" The crowd cheered in excitement staring at the two sword users on the stage, up until one the fight was somewhat boring since it was like a one-sided fight but now, Zhang He had broken through making the battle spicy. SWORD VOID Zhang He's Emperor burst out, his sword making a piercing motion towards Yi Yeyu who also grabbed her sword and launched her attack. RAGING SWORD A red aura spread out across the surface of Yi Yeyu's sword making it appear like it was on fire, she turned around and twirled herself around before making a horizontal slashing motion with her sword which struck that of Zhang He creating a violent shockwave that made the stage tremble. BOOM Both parties were forced to retreat, the port of the stage which had taken the brunt of their attack had caved in, displaying the frightening power contained within their attacks. Once both parties stabilized themselves, they shot toward each other once again, unleashing powerful attacks. "TITAN'S SLA
"So what did I miss?" Yang Mi asked the group who only now remembered that she hadn't been here the whole time. "Where did you run off to?" Li Bai inquired with a curious expression. "None of your business" Yang Mi replied indifferently causing Felix to burst into laughter while Li Bai sat with a sour expression. "After the first three matches, we've had three winners, Vane Griffin, Su Yang, and Zhang He, they have officially qualified for the second phase, and that ends the tournament for the first day, the next Match-ups will commence tomorrow" The referee announced making the crowd groan silently, they preferred to spectate the next fights instantly. "Well, that's a wrap, let's go see how Zhang He is and then go get something to eat" Li Bai suggested earning a nod of agreement from both sides. ************************************************** "Here's your special for today, it's on me, so just enjoy" Toutou served a special cuisine to Felix and his friends who smiled in
Felix stood atop the stage calmly watching his opponent, Da Ji who also stood some distance away observing him closely, the crowd of spectators were silently watching, not wanting to miss what was to be an epic battle. "Are you ready?" The Referee asked both sides. "I'm ready" Da Ji replied throwing a provocative glance towards Felix. "Ready" Felix also replied calmly, not in the least bothered by Da Ji's provocation. "Then the battle should commence" The referee said jumping off and the moment his mouth paused, a shadow shot forward throwing an attack, Felix who noticed this instantly took a step back and swung a swift kick upwards. BANG A kick met a punch which resulted in the shadow being pushed backwards by Felix's kick. "You're fast but not nearly fast enough" Felix remarked taking a battle stance facing Da Ji who massaged his arm which had been struck by Felix's leg, he could already feel a scorching pain spreading across his arm and it made him wonder if it was ju
"He won" Wang Xiong was blown out of his mind. "Su, if you were to rank Da Ji based on his current strength, which rank would you put him?" Chu Yang asked causing his brother to pause and think for some time. "I would rank him 4th, just below Han Sen" Su Yang replied and this caused the others among the top ten to glance at him, to some it might seem like an insult but they themselves knew that it was the truth. "So if Felix was able to defeat him, then that means that he's as strong as an early Emperor and also has so many tricks under his sleeves, he could be stronger than me" Wang Xiong frowned at this realization. "For now, I wouldn't be so sure because it looked like he had a skill that made him immune to Da Ji's mental attacks, that's what earned him his victory, and a major part of Da Ji's strength comes from his bloodline ability of his mental attacks, if that is taken out of the question, we could also easily take him out" Lu Han also gave his analysis, and although t
