Chapter 144 Time For My Fight
Chapter 144 Time For My Fight
The fights continued to go by monotonously, and my number was called upon.
"Number fifty six, enter the ring." the deacon said.
I looked at who was entering the ring with me. I needed to know who I was up against. I saw some movement from the side of the participants where all of the older disciples were standing.
And the moment he moved, every single person next to him gave way immediately.
"Damn it. He seems to be someone a little important. I knew my luck wasn't completely good. He must have messed up my battle for sure." I realized.
Reluctantly, I got onto the ring. The person opposite to me looked ferocious. He glanced at me, and his eyebrows lifted up with surprise.
"What a pity. What a pity. It looks like you are in the same situation that I was three years ago. Even when I was in the Core Formation Realm, I had to face the strongest of my time, and I lost against Hong Jimin. Now, here you are, about to lose to me. Doesn't it feel ironic?" the man chuckled.
I hastily used mind eye on him.
"Level - 15
Name - Ren Ming
Cultivation - Core Formation Stage third layer"
I looked at him with shock. He was strong. Much stronger than I anticipated him to be. This was definitely going to be a tough fight for sure.
I took out my spear from my spatial ring and pointed it to him.
"What a coincidence. You also use the spear. Then shall we see who uses it better? Shall we see how much you have comprehended it?" he smiled as he took out his own spear.
I could feel a piercing intent coming out of his spear. It was like it was ready to pierce through my body without even doing anything.
"This man comprehended the spear Dao. And he actually has a hold of it. Much more than I have on the Dao of ice" I thought to myself.
"Ren Ming. I am warning you. If he is killed, then you will be sent to the Frozen Earth Prison for good this time. There will be no leniency." the deacon looked at Ren Ming with sharp eyes.
"He killed someone before? Great job telling me. It's like you want to scare me into giving up." I sighed.
"Let the fight begin." the deacon said, not paying attention to what I said.
Immediately, my feet moved. I jumped to the side, because I felt a frightening sensation coming from Ren Ming's spear. It turned out that I was right to trust my instincts.
An entire foot wide line of destruction appeared where I stood. It extended to the edge of the ring, and once it reached there, some runes absorbed the attack.
"I can't let any of his attacks hit me like that. Or else, they will spell my doom. I need to be vigilant." I told myself as my feet got to work. As his spear started flying towards me, I kept moving.
I had no intention of taking one of his attacks straight. I was not suicidal.
Even if I had a good armor or some thing like that, I would get seriously injured just by the recoil.
I kept moving, trying to find a good opening. Just running around would be a losing strategy. Where I would spend all of my Qi on escaping, he would surpass me in a battle of endurance. With a higher cultivation base, he would definitely have more Qi than me. I needed to attack, and do some damage.
To someone with such a heavy attack, I knew that he focused too much on attack, and none on defense. I needed to get one attack through to make an impact.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art! Fifth form! Blue Dragon Breaks through hell!" I shouted as my spear glowed with a blue hint. It shot forward towards Ren Ming with an incredible speed.
Ren Ming frowned, and he also raised his spear. His spear glowed with a white hue, and he just pushed it forward. I saw that there was a point of light that was shooting at the blue dragon that manifested.
The dragon roared, and the two attacks collided. I felt my spear cry for some reason. It had the lower hand. The blue dragon cried out with pain. I could feel the pain that it felt. It was losing.
Before I lost too much Qi, I took back my spear and retreated. The attacks had cancelled each other out, but it was my loss on this count. I used too much Qi, while Ren Ming seemed to have done something effortless.
This was too disadvantageous to me. At this point, I had to decide. How badly did I want to get to the Inner Sect? Because I needed to show a lot of trump cards to get there.
"There are far too many resources waiting for you to falter now. The after math can be handled later. But do you really want to lose? It will be a difficult pill to swallow." Liu Man suggested.
"You are right. First, I will try to win. And then, I will focus on what comes later." I nodded.
My spear felt duller than it was before. But I couldn't care less about it now.
I quickly approached him with the Kun Peng Movement Arts.
Swish!
He pierced his spear towards me, but I was prepared this time.
Flowing Cloud Spear Art! First form!
The spear started swirling around the attack, and the piercing light stopped where it was. Then, it just disappeared into thin air.
"For defense and for attacks like these, this approach is really better. But it uses too much Qi. I need to finish this fast." I sighed with relief knowing that I had a chance now.
