Her words echoed in my mind. Her master expected me to leave the city. All of this just made me more curious about who exactly this body’s real father was, and how powerful he was.

I glanced above her head, trying to see what her level was. But what the mind eye showed me shocked me.

“Lvl – ???

Name – Bai Zhiqui

Cultivation – ???”

This meant that she was at the least a whole realm above me! How did someone get so powerful at such a young age? That meant that her talent was much stronger than whatever cheat I used to get this far.

I looked at Bai Zhen. His face did not look pretty. After all that he said, he was completely wrong about the reason that I came here. But he did say a few hurtful things, and I was not the most forgiving person.

“You said something about how I came here just to talk to her? That these were lies? Sometimes, I wonder, these big families are full of idiots. They just cannot understand the whole truth, and they try to make their own version of it. Isnt that right? You seem to do it so often.” I said, laughing at Bai Zhen.

“Don’t act like you did something great. At the end of the day, all that you did was give up the one thing in the world that made you worth something. And now, you lost that too. Get out of my sight before I trash you up.” he growled at me.

“Do you really think that you can beat me? I am the strongest in the Liu Family. What about you? I am pretty sure that you are not even close. We will probably meet in the ring. Let us see what will happen to someone like you there.” I said as I turned around and headed to the Cai family area. I needed to know how powerful their participants were.

I did not get close like last time. I glanced at the young lady of the Cai family. Using my mind eye, I could see her level, and the level of the arrogant young man next to her.

“Lvl – 13

Name – Cai Lien

Cultivation – Foundation Establishment 5th layer”

“Lvl – 11

Name – Cai Yun

Cultivation – Foundation Establishment 2nd layer”

“Why are the women of each clan so much more powerful than the men? This takes away the cliches quite a bit. Well, it looks like all of the clans have a person at the foundation establishment realm, and another that is so far ahead. This fight will not be easy. Damn this mission. Now, I need to win, or I will lose the story quest. Who knows what will happen if I lose the story quest?” I thought to myself.

I slowly headed over to my own side to sit down. I looked at Liu Xin, who had just arrived. He scowled at me.

“Lvl – 12

Name – Liu Xin

Cultivation – Foundation Establishment Stage 3rd layer”

“He was in the third layer? That means that I can practically take care of everyone but the two girls on either ends. Well, they were the biggest problem after all. I just hope that Bai Zhiqui stays true to her word. That way, I won’t lose immediately.” I made a mental note as I sat next to my father.

I could feel the gazes of Liu Xin and his brother on my back. It was understandable why they were furious. Losing to a person that they bullied their whole life would be a humiliating affair. Losing in front of the whole clan, and that too for such an important reason? That was a life scarring experience for sure.

I glanced back at them and gave them a wink and a smile. Gloating was the least I could do for the real Liu Feng. I had to take revenge for all that he suffered.

All of a sudden, the crowd stopped talking. Everything was still and everyone was silent. I looked up at the balcony instinctively. It was a little wider than a normal balcony, enough to seat ten. A middle aged man appeared at the center, looking down upon everyone.

“Welcome to the martial gathering of the Kaishi City. It is my honor to welcome you all. This is an especially important affair, as you all know what the rewards are. The first three places will be allowed to spend time in the pool, and they will be given additional rewards. The first five will be given a Foundation Tempering Pill, and the first ten will be given an opportunity to select a martial art from the treasury of the city manor. I do not want to delay this any longer, as I am already late. Let the martial gathering, begin!” at the end, his voice became many times louder, and it washed against all of us.

I looked at him with respect and wonder.

“By when will I be able to become as strong as him?” I thought subconsciously.

A judge entered the ring and looked at the crowd.

“There are twenty participants chosen by the families in the city. We do not have much time for this, so I am afraid that for this gathering, we shall not proceed as usual. We shall use a more time saving method. All thirty of the combatants shall enter the stage, and only the last four will remain, fighting for the top spot.” the judge said.

“A free for all? That is interesting.” I thought out loud as I got up.

One by one, young ones around the same age as me entered the stage. These were the ones from various second and third rate factions across the city. While the three big families had three participants each, the others had only one. Of course they were disgruntled. Come looked at me with hate and fury.

I shrugged as a spear appeared in my hands. I jumped onto the ring. I took a quick sweep above their heads, registering their numbers.

“Ah well, looks like they are not that strong after all.”
