Chapter 87: Tournament-3!
After Mo Fan’s match, there were other matches between protagonists and other participants.
And Soon, it was Ashen’s turn.
“Next! Participants, come on the ring!” Chen Lu announced as usual.
Mo Chen and Ashen, both ascended the ring calmly.
“I surrender!” Mo Chen announced, raising his hand.
“What? You too?” Chen Lu asked, expressing his surprise.
Mo Chen nodded as he explained: “We both are from the same sect and I recognize that brother Ashen is more powerful than me. If we fight, we will just be exhausting each other and benefit the other competitors. Please accept my surrender!”
Chen Lu nodded in understanding. He found his words and logic reasonable.
Mo Chen’s surrender wouldn’t be looked down on as he was just helping the sect, so there wasn’t any need to delay and Chen Lu announced:
“Winner, Phoenix Feather Sect’s Wang Ashen!”
Ashen nodded at Mo Chen with a smile before turning around and leaving.
“Feng Xue, Looks like there are some disciples in your sect with a brain. His decision to surrender is commendable. He can see the bigger picture and prioritize the sect before himself. If he had decided to fight, Ashen’s skills would have been known by his opponents, but now, he is a mystery.” Thunder Peak Sect Master praised.
Feng Xue nodded in agreement with a smile.
Meanwhile, the next match began as Lu Xian and another protagonist from his own Celestial Harmony Sect appeared.
This match was between two protagonists and the way they looked at each other, one could see that there was a rivalry between them.
“Lu Xian, Today I’ll win and show everyone that there is only one genius in the Celestial Harmony Sect and his name is Zhu Long!” Zhu Long said confidently.
“Zhu Long, the match hasn’t even begun yet, and you are declaring yourself as the winner? This is the first time we are getting to fight each other and I plan on defeating you no matter what!” Lu Xian made his intentions clear.
“We’ll see about that!” Zhu Long muttered before getting into a fighting stance.
“Match Begin!”
Zhu Long dashed towards Lu Xian with the ethereal Lotus Palm skill, planning to end this match in one go, however, before his attack could connect, Lu Xian conjured a celestial shield in front of him that absorbed his attack.
They both knew each other’s skills, so it wouldn’t be easy for any of the two to win.
Due to the recoil force of his attack failing, Zhu Long retreated to the back as Lu Xian chased with the Celestial Dragon fist.
Zhu Long didn’t have the time to conjure the Celestial Shield and hence he responded with the sky-shattering kick!
They were moving very fast and responding to each other’s attacks at a terrifying speed.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Multiple explosions were resounding in the arena due to the sheer impact of their attacks colliding with each other. Everyone could see that the skills they were employing were all high-grade skills only used by geniuses.
For these two, to have learned all these skills, they were not to be underestimated.
“Liu Nutong, you have acquired some high-grade disciples. These two are geniuses and I believe that they will be able to make your sect shine in the future” Chen Lao praised the Celestial Harmony Sect’s sect leader.
“They are not worthy of this much praise. They just suffered some injustice and begged me to take them as my disciples. I just couldn’t refuse them!” Liu Nutong explained.
“Well, that’s also your luck!” Chen Lao said.
Liu Nutong nodded and just before he could reply, he noticed Lu Xian summon a sword that was unfamiliar to him.
Lu Xian held that sword and looked at Zhu Long: “Zhu Long, this is the Tempest King Sword that I inherited from the Tempest King’s inheritance. I’d like to see if you can take my next attack!”
Zhu Long smirked at him as he too, summoned a red spear: “You think only you have received an inheritance? Look, this is the Fire King spear that I inherited from the Fire King’s inheritance. Let’s see whose luck is more powerful!”
Lu Xian was surprised at first, however, soon turned serious as they both began to prepare their attacks.
“Tempest King Sword, Third Form, Furious Tempest Wind Dragon!” Lu Xian shouted as a large Chinese dragon made up of wind flew out of the tip of his sword.
Meanwhile,
“Fire King Spear, Third Form, Fiery Flame Red Dragon!” Zhu Long yelled as a similar dragon made up of fire flew out of the tip of his spear.
The spectators were baffled to see those two dragons appear out of nowhere.
The two dragons then moved and in one go engulfed Lu Xian and Zhu Long as they passed through their bodies.
They both used all their strength to endure this attack, knowing that this attack would decide the victor of this match.
And soon, everyone noticed that Lu Xian had gotten burns all over his body and Zhu Long had small cuts on his body.
They both endured as furious winds and flames engulfed their bodies.
It wasn’t long before Zhu Long began to fly in the air and then was sent out of the ring meanwhile Lu Xian, though not eliminated was in bad shape.
“Winner, Celestial Harmony Sect’s Lu Xian!”
The announcement was made as Lu Xian fell on the ring with a thud. He had sustained a high amount of damage.
It was only due to his luck that Zhu Long got eliminated.
This match was the most intense match of this tournament and the next matches seemed dull in comparison.
After a while, all the matches of the second round ended and now only sixteen winners were left.
They were, Lu Xian, Han Yujin, Mo Fan, Bi Shiyue, Bai Leng, Wang Ashen, and the other ten were all different protagonists.
Chen Lu once again appeared in the ring and announced:
“The third round of the tournament, Begin!”
“Participants, please come onto the ring!”
And soon, a cold beauty and a handsome young man appeared on the ring.
It was Bi Shiyue vs Bai Leng!
