“Cai Lien and Du Xiangling, enter the ring.” the judge said.

The two jumped onto the stage to face each other. Their mouths moved, but I could not hear what they were saying. I guess I was just not powerful enough to understand words at such a great distance.

“Let the battle begin.” the judge said, and the crowd behind me cheered. I did not understand the crowd. They felt like a mere place holder. I didn’t know what they saw, and how they found such enjoyment in seeing others beat others up.

The two immediately disappeared from where they stood. Du Xiangling was fast. He felt faster than when he was battling me. This was a battle of sheer speed. I could not even see Cai Lien from where I stood. She was faster than even Du Xiangling. I glanced at the crowd to look for the answers, but even they were dumbfounded.

“The mysterious Cai family clearly knows how to keep its secrets. No one knows what art Cai Lien is using.” I realized.

Cai Lien had the upper hand. I could see sparks. Du Xiangling was being pushed back. He had no chance to retaliate. He may have been able to match every attack, but he lost every exchange. Cai Lien was stronger than him at every turn.

After a few seconds, both of them paused for a bit. They were at opposite ends. Cai Lien looked exactly the way that she was when she entered. Her veil was not even the slightest bit disturbed. Meanwhile, Du Xiangling was getting quite a thorough beating. His whole body was covered in wounds.

I could not even see Cai Lien’s signature moves. Du Xiangling was not strong enough to force those out.

“You are strong! I do not know how the Cai and Bai families made monsters like you, but it seems that even if I wanted to play a little more, I am going to lose either way. I really want to stay conscious so that I can see the show that will play out next. I give up.” Du Xiangling said with a raised voice so that everyone could hear him.

I was a little surprised and disappointed. Uncle Du said that everyone from the Martial Tiger Dojo would fight fiercely, and never give up. It seemed that that was not the case here.

“Du Xiangling is eliminated. Cai Lien will proceed to the finals. Bai Zhiqui has already given up the fight for third place. Du Xiangling will be awarded third place. After ten minutes, Liu Feng and Cai Lien shall fight for the title of the strongest of the young generation of the city.” the judge said.

“She gave up even for third place? It must be regarding whatever arrangement the judge talked to her about.” I thought to myself.

Du Xiangling looked dejected, even though he was supposed to be happy that he won third place. He walked back to the place that was reserved for the Martial Tiger Dojo. He glanced at me, and then talked to the elder that greeted him. The elder was overjoyed. It was not everyday that someone other than from the three main families would get a top three position in the city. This was a big moment for them.

I looked at the Cai family area. Cai Lien was looking straight at me. I could not see through her veil, but I had a suspicion that she was laughing at me. She was supposed to be more powerful than me, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she was not even trying to recover the qi that she used. But she was going to be in for a pretty big surprise if she underestimated me.

“Liu Feng, Cai Lien, enter the stage.” the judge said.

I jumped onto the stage, and so did Cai Lien. She looked at me with interest.

“So you are the man that Sister Zhiqui is engaged to. You are interesting. I think I recognize you from somewhere.” she said.

“I am no longer engaged to Bai Zhiqui. I think that everyone in the city will be happy about that. Why are we talking about that though? We are opponents. Let us fight.” I said as I took out a spear from my spatial ring.

“Good. I thought that you would be boring like all the other boys, but it looks like you want to give me a fight? I want to see how many rounds you will actually last against me.” she said, giggling.

“Let the fight begin!” the judge said.

Almost immediately, Cai Lien’s figure disappeared. But I was prepared for this. I also moved forward, and I could feel a chill behind my back. Cai Lien appeared where I was standing previously.

Blue Dragon Spear Art! First form!

The spear shot forward towards Cai Lien, but before it could even reach her, it felt like something was obstructing it. It did not move any more, and I had to take back the spear before she attacked me.

“Normal attacks will not work against a person who is a whole five minor realms above you. Keke.” I could hear her laugh as she started circling me.

“Well, I guess that I will have to start using my trump cards now.” I took a deep breath.

Turning around to face her, I gripped my spear.

“Blue Dragon Spear Art! Fourth Form! Blue Dragon Sails through the Heavens!” I shouted.

The spear in my hands started to glow, and a huge blue dragon appeared in front of me. The moving Cai Lien was frozen in place in mere instants. The dragon shot forward, and so did the spear. She was faced with the same situation as Liu Xin.

But she was much stronger. She froze for a second, and not a second more. Her sword clashed with the dragon. I could hear the cry of a bird that was trying its best to escape the claws of the dragon that I summoned.

The Qi that I sent into the spear was depleting. I took back the spear and retreated.

“You are stronger than I expected. To effortlessly take care of this attack? I am honestly shocked still.” I said.
