“Damn, that was a great fourth round!! Pity I can hardly follow most of them”
“Can’t blame you though, those are some absurd matches…”
“Especially those geniuses, look, they’re not even sweating at all”
“Heh… that’s probably the difference between the attention given to them…”
“Can’t say that’s all though, look at the guy who suppressed the Purple Lightning Temple, what was his name again? Su Tian right? He’s not known even to the powerful sects participating currently, but he’s clearly a cut above the rest of the geniuses participating”
“Are you dumb!? Just because we don’t know where he came from means that his origins are less than ours, who knows, he might be some young master from a hidden force right?”
Given that the number of people within the audience area increasing, said area starts to get rowdier and rowdier, with people from all kinds of forces and sects will all sort of status conversing with each other, debating on who is stronger than who, some even going as far as setting up an impromptu betting area.
Meanwhile, the decrease of people within the arena means that the truly outstanding ones are starting to appear now, with a few people being more observed than the rest, hence becoming the centers of attraction.
One among them is a young man wearing a white daoist robe, one who acquires so much respect from his opponents due to his manner and character, as well as his tendency to match the opponent’s power in order to mutually learn from them.
Opposite from the reputation of the young man wearing a white daoist robe, two other young men garner the most hate, given their ruthless and vicious approach against their opponents, some of the people they have come across almost dying from their grasp.
Aside from these three men, there are as much as five ladies, each of them being beauties with appearance more than enough to cause the collapse of a nation, each one of them proving that their existence is more than just decoration vases through the show of their martial prowess.
Gathering the most attention is an alluring lady sporting a long purple hair, the reason for such attention being her curvaceous figure, pulling the eyes of most men in the spectator’s area towards her. The lady is no joke in battle though, as each of her opponents are taken care of by her without them even knowing when she managed to defeat them.
Another one of them is an aloof, phoenix-like lady, her peerless face remaining expressionless through the entire span of the competition, her sword, burning with a peculiar vitality filled fire bringing fear to her opponents’ eyes.
Aside from these two, the other three geniuses seem to be looking at the same figure, an immortal-like young man standing straight without a trace of fatigue in his face, almost as if the multiple, nearly consecutive battles didn’t even affect him in any way.
One among them is a cold, empress-like sword-wielding beauty that suppresses each of her opponents through her overwhelming might, hardly anyone she encounters being comparable with her.
Nearby, another lady, like a warm spring wind, bearing the same level of beauty as the previous one is also one of the spectators’ favorites, given her gentle demeanor and her terrifying martial prowess, using the fan in her hand to defeat every opponent she encounters.
The last one of them being a white-haired, mature lady, her fights being incredibly quick with her suppressing her opponents completely, sending out waves of qi that directly targets their weak points, causing her to easily win all her matches.
Those are the people who takes the spot of the ones having the greatest potential to win the competition, possibly even inheriting the legacy here, however, there are still other people that the spectators are paying attention to, just not as much as these eight young people and the immortal-like young man.
“Dao Xuanyuan from the Dao Seeking Mountain, Man Yi from the Great Forest Wilderness, Lei Xing from the Purple Lightning Temple, Feng Qing from the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, Zi Yu’er from the Heavenly Bliss Pavilion, Hua Xian’er from the Heavenly Secret Tower, Hong Lian also from Purple Lightning Temple, and lastly, those two unknown geniuses, that white-haired beauty and that immortal-like young man, It’s just among those people that will take the inheritance, I’m pretty sure of that”
“Yeah yeah, everyone knows that, why don’t you shut up now? The fifth round is starting…”
As the barriers between the stone platforms completely opens, the people in the spectator area turns silent, the ones still in the arena gradually approaching their new opponents, some of them treading cautiously as if to measure the person in front of them, while some of them, let’s just say they approach their opponents bravely.
“HAHAHAHA Lei Xing, receive my attack” the huge, barbarous-looking young man, one of the people’s favorites, rushes the moment he saw his enemy, excitement surging through his entire body as he swings his giant club, towards the young man in front of him.
“How barbarous…” his opponent, seeing the object growing larger and larger in front of him, held out his hands, lightning cracking from it as it moves to intercept the weapon, the resulting clash between the two causing waves of air to spread across the surrounding, even affecting some of the competitors near the two of them.
“Good! Good!! Good!!! This fight is fun!!!” the barbarous young man, Man Yi, laughs as he felt the end of his club being blocked by Lei Xing, pulling his weapon back, he continues his barrage of attack as he continues pummeling down on the young man in front of him, his smile getting wider and wider as he felt each and every one of his attacks being blocked by Lei Xing.
“Tch…” Seemingly getting annoyed, lightning flows across Lei Xing’s entire body, discharging it in a spherical area with him as the center, knocking Man Yi back a couple of meters giving him some surprise.
Looking at the cold stare the arrogant-looking young man in front of him, Man Yi just smiles as he rushed forward once more, refusing Lei Xing of his chance to get away from him.
As the battle continues, the situation becomes seemingly more and more disadvantageous for Man Yi, as sometimes after their first round of exchange, Lei Xing’s movements starts getting faster and faster, and currently, the arrogant-looking young man is already going at an offensive, his assumption of the barbarous young man going to a complete defensive completely off as he continues exchanging blows against him, making Lei Xing smile as he thought that this is going to be an easy win.
‘You might bear the berserker’s blood and grows stronger with each wound you receive, but the wounds you’re receiving from me is infused with lightning attribute, so there’s no way your increase of strength can keep up with the numbers of wound I’m inflicting you!!’ Lei Xing thought in his mind, his body refusing to stop the barrage of attack he’s sending his opponent, who’s already like a stone statue in his location.
“What’s the matter? Can’t bear the pain from the lightning any longer? HAHAHAHA you’re also weak like all of them Man Yi!!” the arrogant-looking young man taunted as he sends in another punch, surprising him when his opponent catches it.
“I was initially planning on not revealing it through the whole competition as I thought there’s no one worthy of seeing it, but you piqued my interest Lei Xing!!” letting go of the fist he just caught, Man Yi looks at his opponent with a ferocious smile on his face, his already huge stature growing more, his figure eventually hunching from his size, his massive muscles seemingly exploding from his skin, his hands turning claw like from his now razor-sharp nails.
As he approaches his opponent, rumbling seems to permeate through the air as he walks, the sound stopping once he’s standing in front of Lei Xing.
“Let’s continue”
