"The last five will get a Blood Spirit Lotus Pill to increase their cultivation my one minor realm. The top five will also get this reward, along with a weapon of their choice. The winner and the number one new comer will be made an Inner Disciple of the sect immediately." the elder said.
"An inner disciple? Now that is something that I certainly want to get to become. It would be awesome if I am able to become an inner disciple. I should try my best to win." I thought to myself.
"Liu Feng, Sima Xin will be the first to fight. Both of you, enter the stage now. Remember, while attacks may wound you, do not aim to kill. If anything bad happens, then no matter who is in the wrong, there will be severe punishment." the old man who brought us here said.
I nodded and walked onto the stage. I glanced at Sima Xin and held up my index finger, provoking him to come onto the stage.
His hands clenched into fists and he looked at me with a boiling rage. He was one of those short tempted types. He charged at the arena, and jumped onto to it.
"I will make you regret every trying to offend me. I will show you who the real boss is." he shouted at me.
"Let the match begin." a cool voice said, and the moment the old man said that, Sima Xin lunged at me. I darted to the side, avoiding his attack. Although he was someone that I could definitely beat, he was still a very strong person. I did not know what medicine the sect he was a part of gave him, but his attacks were definitely much stronger than a normal second layer Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could unleash.
I took out my spear and pointed it towards him. For someone like this, the most obvious move would be to create some distance between me and him. But the problem remained that I still did not master the Kun Peng Myriard Transformations. I still did not have a movement art, and chances were that he had a good one. I had to be careful and mindful of his footwork.
Sima Xin halted and looked to the side. He changed his position, running towards me like a bull. It reminded me too much about the bull fights of Spain. I jumped right over him, and pointed my spear right at his open back. I put in a little Qi into it, and threw the spear towards him.
Swish!
The spear went jolting down, aimed right at his spine.
Sima Xin seemed to have noticed that. All of a sudden, his speed increased considerably, and he disappeared from where he stood, reappearing only a meter away. But that much was enough for him to escape the spear. I landed right next to where he previously stood and took the spear out.
"I knew it. He has a movement art. It seems to give him some explosive speed burst? I guess that I should end this in a straight out confrontation. He will obviously be overconfident about his strength." I thought as I readied my spear.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art! Fourth Form! Blue Dragon Sails through the Heavens!"
At the exact same time as I was unleashing my attack, so was Sima Xin.
"Descent of Taurus! Crushing Mountains!" he shouted as his fist approached me. For some reason, his fist seemed like it was almost ten times bigger than it was supposed to be. But my spear was also ready. A dragon the same size went forward to receive the attack, and it was not going to back down.
Pfft! Sima Xin coughed out blood as his fist was pierced through by the spear. He was forced back, but the spear kept following him. It had no intention of stopping.
"Give up, and the spear will stop as well. If you do not, then I am afraid that you will lose at least an arm!" I shouted at him, but Sima Xin was not even listening to me. He had a grave look on his face, but no intention of surrendering.
I shook my head. This was something that he brought onto himself. I might not want to kill him, but this attack was going to cost him something.
"Liu Feng wins." the old man interjected, and the moment I heard that, I used all of my Qi to yank the spear back with my connection to it. The spear barely stopped, just inches away from Sima Xin's paltry defense.
"I did not give up yet! I would have been able to catch him off guard!" Sima Xin howled with frustration.
"And the fact that you were not able to do so immediately means that you are not going to win this match. Both of you shall sit down. Sima Xin shall not have another match, and his ranking shall be decided upon by the Deacons. Now then, it is time for the next battle." the old man said.
Sima Xin was unresigned, but that was not my problem. I won, and that was all that I cared about.
I glanced at the top where Li Tian was sitting, and I smiled at him. I didn't know why he came up to me that day, but he was the person that I clearly had to impress.
Li Tian was not looking at me though. He was looking at Sima Xin for some reason. I felt a little offended, but who cared? With his mentality, he wasn't going to get far.
I jumped off the arena and found a place where I could see the rest of the fights while resting. I needed to see the next few fights especially, because the order by which we came out of the Pavilion of Dreams was clearly the order of our talents. I did not know how that worked, but whoever was next, I had to pay significant attention to.
"Cai Lien and Yu Yutian, enter the arena."
"Oh?" my eyes squinted.
"This is going to be an interesting one."
