Chapter 290: Heaven mountain (2)
'As you all know this mountain have many peaks. My teacher Western Serpent, the Northern Badger, Eastern Devil and their disciple is all at the top of the mountain. Here I will explain the initial rule of this time Martial Art Meet. I am your supervisor. And for each level there is a disciple to watch over you.'
'Hmph!' one of the martial artists snorted with arrogance and pointed his finger to Batrisya
'So, are you saying the disciple is stronger than us? I don't mind if the Four Immortals overseeing our fight but you? Your teacher might be strong but are you qualified!'
One of the martial artists yelled and Arial know that this martial artist is also very formidable.'
The one yelling had one of his eyes covered by a black eye patch. He is young but his face clearly shows he had weather many tribulations in his life
There seem to some enmity between this man and Batrisya.
'Demon Eye Zheng is it?' The woman asked and Arial looking at her, she seems pretty confident she got the right name.
She smiles and she reply back.
'True, compared to the honorable and powerful expert gathered here today, who is to say that I am any superior? Who is to say Thunder Step Liao Bao or Veiled Little Devil is any stronger or faster or cunning then all of you combined? But my teacher and their teachers have shown you face, don't waste their goodwill. I dare not call my teacher and said to her that one martial artist; arrogant enough to ask my teacher to watch over them, like little kids that need to be supervised their betters'
She said smiling, while her eyes show a glint of murderous aura. Demon Eye Zheng stepped back.
'I…I didn't mean to offend the Western Serpent' he said stuttering.
'Do not worry Demon Eye Zheng. If any of you prove to be so difficult or does not want to accept defeat, and we disciple couldn't control you, then we will call our teacher to settle the matter. Are you satisfied?'
The other young disciples all nodded. After all the reputation of the Four Immortals are widespread and not something that one in the martial art world should offend.
Surely, they can contain any mishap that could happen.
Demon eye Zheng nodded reluctantly while gritting his teeth. He could not do anything if Batrisya bring up Western Serpent name.
He only scoffed and slink back into the crowd. Batrisya only smiles and then she said
'Now that is settled, I have something for all of you' she said and she conjured up a box, a wooden boxjosei
Then she throws it to the ground and it fall with a slow thud but the architecture of the box is intriguing that it does not break even though being thrown from such distance and heights.
The Abbes of Ermei School, Abbess Lin took it and position it in the center.
It seems Ermei has relationship with the Western Serpent because from the way they treat each other Arial has a suspicion they have met each other before and there is some cordiality between them.
Arial also remember during his fight in Linzi Temple, Ermei supported Western Serpent.
Batrisya nodded and she smiles pleasantly toward the Abbess
'Thank you, Venerable Abbess Lin. Now for anyone interested in joining the competition. Please write your name and your school name and put it in that box. For every school there must be only one representative. Seeing all of you here, I think you already know the prize for winning the tournament. The Annals of Divine Medicine.'
She said with a hint of longing.
'Even I have not yet peeked on that manual of my teacher. To think she would let that out to the world just to make the Meet more festive, huh.'
It almost seems like she is complaining. But the other people did not care for such sentiment. The Annals of Divine Medicine had many recipes for pills and potions.
It also had recipes of medicine of ancient past
'Alas, I don't understand teacher intention.'
Then she turned back looking at the martial artist gathered down the hill and she speak
'Tomorrow I will collect the box. Remember entering the battle mean you could lose your life. Even if you die, blood feud is forbidden. You have entered this under the Martial Art Meet. Don't bring up past resentment. If you are not capable or not confident of your ability don't enter. The battle of the rule will be explained later when we have decided who will fight who.'
She said giving a warning.
Then she smiles and give her farewell
'May the Dawn Father guide you all in the morning, and the Night Mother watch you in the dark nights' she said and she climbed the peak of the mountain effortlessly and then she disappeared amidst the branches of tree on top of the mountains.
Arial recognize this technique with only one glance.
It is the Snake Seeking the Heavens. But Arial snickered in disdain.
Compared to his Wind God technique, Snake Seeking the Heavens is nothing. Even Liao Bao lightness technique is more superior.
Then he thinks of the matter at hand.
A few moments after arriving suddenly Arial is hit with that announcement. Linzi Temple has no representatives. But he already knows. And all the martial art school also knows.
Arial know he could claim himself as one of Linzi temple but he fears that people will mock Linzi temple for being cowardly. He did not come here to smear the name of Linzi Temple.
Even though they all know that Southern Healer need to impart the wisdom of Secret Technique of Linzi to his successor, surely the martial art world will still take advantage of that.
But Arial has no school. If he wins as an individual and then claim the honor to belong to Linzi Temple, then surely he will settle that debt of gratitude from the Abbot.
But a school?
Which school would accept him as his representatives, not when all of them have their own representatives?
Even if he joins one of the schools and persuade them to choose him, no matter how smart he is, even he would not be able to learn that school martial art technique in a day.
Even though he wins, people would say that the school that uses him is not the superior one.
After all Arial has his own technique. Then it struck him.
'Hmph. If I don't have a school, then I just need to create one' A martial art school with only one practitioner. He thought to himself and he laugh at himself
