41 - Four Star III Tournament

The tournament continues all day. Now we have the winners of the first round tournament. Now the participants are allowed to rest and tomorrow the tournament will continue.

"Huft..it's very tired" said Song Quon.

"I'm tired too. It turns out that there are a lot of great people too. Well, even so, we are still not comparable if we want to fight the demon army. The demon general alone is already very powerful for us. I'm confused, how can we win later?" said Liu Chen with a sigh.

"Don't think too much. It's not good to think too much. Even if you keep thinking about it, you don't get the answer. Too many thoughts would only make you dizzy without getting a definite answer", Song Quon glanced slightly to the side, precisely at Liu Chen.

Liu Chen smiled towards Song Quon. "Well, thanks for the advice. So I don't have to think about it. All I have to do is act"

Song Quon nodded. "Yes, so if you want to know how you defeated the demon emperor, then you have to find out not just think about it"

Liu Chen looked towards the front. They were now walking in the outer corridor, however, no members were walking around at this time. Because they're all resting.

"Thank you, Quon, because you've always been there for me. Thank you for every time I need you, you are always there for me. I promise, when pressed for anything, in a war like anything I'll go through, I won't leave you. If I can't help, I won't run. I will continue beside you and die with you", Liu Chen glanced back at Song Quon with a smile.

Song Quon smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Chen"

Liu Chen just smiled. He looked back to the front.

The next day, all the group members were already in the tournament room. The chairman and vice chairman were there. Song Quon was already inside the repaired tournament arena.

"Alright, we will continue the four-star tournament this time around. The rules still remained the same, should not use poison, cheat like using power-enhancing pills and kill the other members. If it violates, it will be disqualified and will get the punishment we have determined! Do you guys understand?" song Quon said using his Qi.

"understand!"

"In this second half, you will fight individually. If the opponent gives up or is unconscious, then he is the winner and he should not fight again.

Who wins the first champion, then he will help one of the chairman and his representative to take care of the headquarters. Then, the winner of the first champion would gain even greater resources and obtain a high-tier sword, an intermediate-level jutsu.

While the second to third champions get the same prize, namely high-level swords with middle-level moves.

Then, the 4th and 5th champions will only get a high-level sword"

All the members seemed excited upon hearing the prize from the tournament winner. But there are also those who seem not excited, because they did not enter the round of 2.

Looking at their spirit, Song Quon shook his head inwardly, "If only you knew that high-level swords are numerous and mid-level moves are there enough for the chiefs, then there are quite a few, maybe you'll be surprised. Only with this gift were they so happy. Then what if the winner gets a high level of skill?" his inner.

"Participants who will advance, are selected at random. Because the number of participants who enter the round to 2 is odd, then a participant will fight one participant who cannot enter the round to 2. We will determine who is the opponent and who is the participant who will fight the participant who cannot enter the round of 2. So the participants who did not enter the round of 2, had a chance to win" said Song Quon.

All participants who cannot enter the round of 2 seem to want to get the opportunity. There is still hope for them, even if it is small.

"All right, it won't take long. We're going to start round 2 at the moment. Participants named Jiao (Zhi Shu) and Hua (Wu Xianlun) please enter the arena"

Both Zhi Shu and Wu Xianlun were shocked. They immediately went down and headed for the arena. Now they are also in the opposite distance and are at a distance of several meters. In the middle, Song Quon stood up to say aba aba.

"Both participants ready?" said Song Quon. He glanced to his left and right. He soon got a nod from both participants.

"Start", Song Quon headed straight to the edge of the arena.

"Unexpectedly, it turns out that I will fight you Hua. Then I won't lose to you!" said Zhi Shu.

"I won't lose to you either, Jiao!" wu Xianlun.

They both took their weapons. Wu Xianlun took the sword, as did Zhi Shu. They stared at each other and finally they both advanced simultaneously.

Their swords clashed against each other. They had the same cultivation level, so they were just as strong. Only, Zhi Shu had more experience in fighting. Not like Wu Xianlun. Zhi Shu twisted his body and directly kicked Wu Xianlun. This prompted the woman to take a few steps.

"Their fight is very pampering to the eyes" said a man who seemed excited to stare at the fight.

"You're right, they're just as beautiful. Which one did you choose?" said the man beside her.

"If you can both. I'll take them to dinner tonight"

"Heh, you don't deserve any of them at all. You just can't get into the 2nd round" ridiculed his other friend.

"Heh, then do they want to be with you too? You're fat, no woman will like you" the man taunted.

"I'm not fat, just a little big" said his friend.

"Heh, you don't deserve to say that at all. The three of you are not worthy of my sister" Wu Anming murmured when he heard the words of the three men who were not far from him.

Wu Xianlun and Zhi Shu each struck their swords. Both look like enemies.

"You are indeed great, Jiao", Wu Xianlun banged his body backwards and the sword that was about to slash him appeared to pass through Wu Xianlun.

"You too. I thought you were just a weak woman. It's not like that" said Zhi Shu.

"So you've always thought of me as a weak woman?!" said Wu Xianlun who was a bit annoyed.

"Hihi didn't really", Zhi Shu raised her right leg high and instantly dropped it down.

Wu Xianlun directly dodged to the side. He attacked his friend from the side.

Zhi Shu immediately bowed his body forward until his friend's sword just passed him. He stood up straight again. He gave a right-footed side kick towards Wu Xianlun.

However, Wu Xianlun immediately brushed him off with his left hand and immediately gave a counter-kick towards Zhi Shu.

Wu Xianlun swung his sword at Zhi Shu. He was immediately arrested by the girl. The swords clashed together again and again until finally the two of them were exhausted after a few minutes of pitting swords against each other. They had some small wounds on his body.

"We seem balanced, don't we? Jiao", Wu Xianlun smiled.

"We are completely out of balance, I'm here", Zhi Shu suddenly disappeared from the face of Wu Xianlun and reappeared behind her friend. He jumped up high and turned in the air. Zhi Shu immediately kicked Wu Xianlun.

Wu Xianlun who heard a voice from behind him, instantly turned his body. However, a direct kick hit Wu Xianlun's stomach to make the girl thrown several meters because she was not ready with a surprise attack by Zhi Shu.

Wu Xianlun immediately vomited a mouthful of blood from his mouth. He stared at Zhi Shu who was now treading on the ground smoothly. "Why are you behind me?"

Zhi Shu smiled, "I have a stance that can speed up my steps. At first I didn't use it because I wanted to see your power. So I'm just wearing it now. You better give up, Hua"

"You're great, Jiao. I'm giving up"

"The winner is Jiao. Hua, you can go see the first chairman" Song Quon said.

Wu Xianlun nodded. Zhi Shu instantly helped his friend stand up and embrace him. "I'm sorry I hurt you"

Wu Xianlun shook his head, "It's fine"

They went straight to Liu Chen. Because the young man had a pill that could heal wounds quickly. Liu Chen also told Song Quon to tell the injured participants to come to him.

"Ah, yes. I forgot to tell you. There will be additional rounds. Round 3, only the 10 most powerful among all the participants who qualified from round 2 and the person who will proceed to round 3 was chosen by four chairmen and vice-chairmen. Then the 10 men will fight individually. After getting 5 winners, then they will get a prize from us" said Song Quon.

All the participants were immediately shocked by this news. That is, the chance of winning for them is getting thinner.

"No need to be disappointed if you don't win, because next year we will hold a four-star tournament for you! So fight and quickly get stronger so that we can defeat the demon race!" song Quon said with a smile. He was trying to encourage this member.

Hearing that, everyone who initially felt pessimistic, was now excited. If they don't win this time, but they still have a chance to win next year.

"Well, now we go on to the next fight"

Time continued to pass, there were already dozens of people fighting. The chairman and vice chairman continued to pay close attention to the fight of each member. Because they have to choose 10 people from the 2nd round who win, to continue to the next round. They also cannot choose.

"Participants named Yong (Wu Anming) and Jian (Lao Tzu), please go up the arena" said Song Quon.

The two young men immediately climbed onto the arena. They look at each other.

"Why should I fight him? Are there no other players who are my opponents? It seems that he is this hard to guess" inner Wu Anming.

"Yong, are you ready?", Song Quon stared at Wu Anming. He got a nod from the young man.

"Jian, are you ready?", Song Quon stared at Lao Tzu. I got a nod from Lao Tzu.

"Alright, you can start!", Song Quon stepped out of the arena immediately.

Wu Anming immediately took out his sword that was slung on his waist. He looked at Lao Tzu vigilantly.

Lao Tzu did not use any weapons. But his hands were clenched forward and like he was ready to fight.

Around Wu Anming's body appeared a small yellow lightning bolt. He immediately disappeared from where he was standing and appeared behind Lao Tzu and was ready to attack the young man from above.

But the movement is too easy to read according to Lao Tzu. He immediately turned his body while raising his legs up. He focused his Qi on his feet and immediately gave a side kick towards Wu Anming who was not ready to receive an attack arrived his.

Wu Anming was immediately thrown. In order to stop his body from being thrown further and further away, Wu Anming used his sword to stick into the ground. Lines of swords formed on the ground. Now his position is kneeling while holding a sword stuck in the ground.

Wu Anming stared intently at Lao Tzu. "He can read my movements. Even though I knew he had a level above me, it was only one star. Then why does he know where I'm going to show up? Does he also actually have a style that can speed up his movements?" inner Wu Anming.

Lao Tzu walked towards Wu Anming.

Wu Anming immediately stood up when he saw Lao Tzu walking towards him. He immediately held the sword using both hands tightly and prepared to attack Lao Tzu again.

Lao Tzu clenched his hands and ran towards Wu Anming. Both of his fists were filled with Qi that accumulated so as to make the attack even stronger.

Lao Tzu started attacking Wu Anming using his fist. He aimed his target at Wu Anming's stomach. However, his attacks were always avoided by Wu Anming.

Wu Anming somewhat bent his body forward and intended to stab Lao Tzu. However the young man immediately jumped up and spun in the air. He immediately gathered Qi in the soles of his feet and intended to step on Wu Anming.

Before that happened, Wu Anming immediately avoided her until Lao Tzu's feet just hit the ground and made a basin. Dedebuan covered Wu Anming's current gaze. But he still prepared if there was an impromptu attack by Lao Tzu and sure enough, Lao Tzu came out of the dust and pointed his fist at Wu Anming.

Wu Anmung directly crossed his arms forward and resisted Lao Tzu's powerful attack. He focused his Qi on both of his hands. But still, he was encouraged because Lao Tzu had a strong power.

When Wu Anming was holding back Lao Tzu's fist, a powerful kick from Lao Tzu instantly hit his waist and knocked him off.

"Weak" said Lao Tzu coldly.

Wu Anming coughed for a moment. He stood up with the help of the sword. Wu Anming instantly spewed out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. "The attack he did was very strong. I won't win from him. Did I just give up?" thought Wu Anming. He stared at Lao Tzu who was still standing in his place.

Suddenly he thought of Liu Chen, "No, I won't budge on him and just give up. I can't disappoint Brother Chen" inwardly.

His entire body was instantly engulfed by lightning. But this time, the lightning issued was blue and this lightning appeared stronger. Wu Anming looked at Lao Tzu.

Suddenly, Wu Anming disappeared and appeared right in front of Lao Tzu with a sword swung towards Lao Tzu. Realizing an attack, Lao Tzu immediately held him back using his arms crossed forward, as he could not escape.

Wu Anming's movements this time around were faster than when the lightning that enveloped him was yellow.
