Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 49 The Final Four

Clang!

The spear hit his sword. I could feel my arm being pushed back, but I put in more strength. I couldn't afford to be seen losing an exchange like this. It would boost his morale, and it would simply mean that he was more powerful than I was.

He fell back and regained his footing. Then, he circled me, like a predator, waiting for his prey. Pity him though. I was no prey. No I was not.

Blue Dragon Spear Art! First Form!

The spear shot forward towards him. His eyes widened with shock, and he hastily put his sword between him and the spear. This was just a desperation move. With this one move, he fell to the side, a few meters away.

He landed on his feet, and used his arms to hoist himself up.

"You are very strong. But do not mistake that for me being weak. There is much that you still have not seen yet. I am not done yet." he said.

"I never understood this. Why do you feel the need to talk during a fight? Let us just fight. It is only getting fun now." I shouted back at him.

"You are right!" Du Xiangling grinned as he ran towards me.

Blue Dragon Spear Art! Second form!

The spear thrust forward again. A blue haze covering it. It struck the sword that Du Xiangling was using. I could see that there were a few cracks forming. He was about to be defeated. Right now, it was only a matter of time.

"It seems that my weapon is not good enough for this fight. It is already tearing apart. I am afraid that I will have to change weapons. Please forgive me for doing this." Du Xiangling took a step back and took out another sword from his spatial ring.

"I jinxed myself, goddamn it!" I shouted at myself.

The third form was practically useless against him, and the first two forms of the Blue Dragon Spear Art were worthless. I had nothing else to do, except use the fourth form, which I hoped to save for the later matches.

"Better now than never. I have to finish this off now." I said to myself as I prepared myself for the fourth form.

"Blue Dragon Spear Art-"

"The martial gathering first round has concluded. There are only four people remaining on the field. We shall now move towards the traditional tournament format." the judge above said.

I stopped myself and went back into a resting pose.

"That was close. I was about to reveal one of my own trump cards. This came in clutch. But who are the other two who remained?" I looked behind me at the other side of the ring.

Bai Zhiqui, and the young lady from the Cai family were standing just a few steps from each other. They did not look like they were in the middle of a fight, but rather that they were talking to each other.

"So goddamn unfair. They know each other, clearly." I grumbled.

"The participants who remain may rest for an hour, and after this, the second round shall start. The four contestants shall pick lots, and whoever picks the same ones will be battling each other." the judge said.

I nodded as I headed back to the Liu Family space to recuperate. I wanted to be in the best position possible when I headed back into battle against two people that I never met before. I needed to recover all the Qi that I wasted dealing with all the small fries that swarmed me at the beginning.

"You did well, Feng'er. You brought pride to the Liu Family. Luckily, at least one of us stayed in the top four." Liu Hong came in front of me.

"How did Liu Xin get eliminated? He is pretty strong." I asked.

"He is unlucky. He had to match against that lass from the Bai family. He got destroyed in mere moments. I wonder how this will affect him." Liu Hong shook his head as he walked back to where he came from.

Inside, I was snickering.

"Good riddance. He finally got what he was fated for. Destroyed in mere moments? By a girl? He is bound to go into depression." I thought to myself.

"You gave a good show, young man." I heard another familiar voice. But this voice was not one that was close to me. I recognized it from a few days ago.

"You are Bai Zhiqui's master." I realized as I turned around to face the man.

"Calling me the master of Bai Zhiqui sounds wrong. You can call me Master Mu. I prefer it that way. You have shown me a very good show. I understand now why you wish to stay on the martial path. It is truly a miracle how you got here in such little time. Maybe even the demons of the Royal capital cannot match up to you in speed. You have impressed me today." Master Miu said, laughing.

"What the hell are you here for, Old man?" another old voice came. This was also from behind me. I turned around, getting a little tired of it as well.

"Old Tian?" I was surprised.

"What? I cannot enjoy a little entertainment? No one can possibly tie me to the building there. I will come and go whenever I please." he said, puffing up his chest.

"Brother Tian? What are you doing here? I thought that you were in the-"

"Shut up you idiot. Just tell me why you came here. You are an esteemed guest, are you not? They why the hell are you with the Liu Family, and not the Bai family of that lass that you love so dearly?" Old Tian snorted.

"I came here to thank this young man here. He has given Bai Zhiqui a debt of gratitude that she cannot possibly pay off." Master Mu smiled at me.

"What I did was also necessary for me. I have no intention of marrying a woman that I do not know." I said.

"Nevertheless, you have done a wonderful thing. I will give you a little help for this next round. That girl from the Cai family? She is dangerous alright. The five element sword has a big disadvantage though. Hehe."
