"Yong Rui, you coming down or not."
As an esteed Sect Master of the Tang Sect, and the most renowned cultivator to ever exist on this land, there is no greater challenge than having soone casually invite over for a fight. To a normal person, it would have been perceived as a nice friendly way of testing your ttle against a friend... but to , it was a great deal. In fact, it was a great blow to my pride.
Am I that weak? Am I so weak that a re cultivator in the King Realm could just casually invite over for a fight?
What insolence. I was not reborn for this bull.
Before I knew it, a nacing aura escaped my body, and it was one that consisted of both the Dark Elent and the Blood Elent. My blood was boiling with rage and my Qi Cores were turning at breaking point. I may be overexaggerating things, but this, this I cannot accept.
At least, challenge properly, you know. I'm not that lowly of a person.
Liu Zhi, Blade, Wu Yan, and Yang i i flinched as they felt the ominous Qi Energy oozing out of my body. Although they were indirectly on the receiving end, I noticed that they had goosebumps all over their body.
And here I was, thinking that my aura was not powerful enough. Because of that sight, I was able to regain my composure as I heaved a sigh of relaxation. I shouldn't focus too much on his taunt, or rather, friendly invitation for a bout. Rather, I should be mindful of it.
There are a lot of people here, after all. If I lose my mind here, literally speaking, I could easily slaughter them all. And yes, that would not be a good idea during the Red Sea Tournant. Not only would it tarnish my na, it would also tarnish the na of Tang Shelter since I declared that I was from there.
Wait... why didn't I think of that?! I'm from the Tang Shelter!
Before I went down the stage to accept Xiao Xue's challenge, I stared at Luo Zehn. Apparently, he was just sitting down on one of the seats nearby.
"Hoh, do you want to challenge , young man?" Luo Zehn asked as he unsheathed his sword. "I may be in the King Realm, but I'm afraid I'm stronger than that Xiao Xue guy down there."
I sighed in disappointnt.
At first glance, Luo Zehn seed like the type to not ddle in cumberso stuff such as Red Sea Tournants. And then, I realized that amongst my disciples, he was the type to sign up for a tournant and he would train to no end just to et his goals. He may be muscle-headed before but I'm sure he puts in more than enough effort just to enter in every single tournant he could and then he would fight without regrets.
If I were to compare him to Xiao Xue, then I guess it would be better if I just fight Xiao Xue instead. Also, I wouldn't want to fight against my disciple since that would clearly be overkill. In other words, if I were given the choice to fight a fierce lion or a relentless elephant, I'd rather fight a fierce lion since a relentless elephant wouldn't go down as long as it breathed.
So yeah, the best choice here is to fight Xiao Xue.
Besides, if I were to lose, Luo Zehn has a good chance of winning the Red Sea Tournant. The Ten Elental Orbs would greatly aid him in his cultivation. He may even achieve a breakthrough to the Immortal Realm after unlocking another elent.
I've decided. Xiao Xue is the win-win choice here.
Amidst the fighting in the other arena or battle stages, I ca down to the center one where Xiao Xue was. I'm not quite sure if Xiao Xue was glad that I accepted the challenge or if he was intimidated because of my presence. Nevertheless, he was smiling as he stood on one side of the stage. The bone-chilling, cold-inducing aura continuously leaked out from his body, determined to pressure if I ever let my guard down for a mont.
Xiao Xue was battle-ready.
"Please kindly step on both sides of the ring." The 'referee' or soone acting the role of one spoke up as he waved his hand to the side. "There will only be one round, and the last one standing wins. A participant wins by either making the other participant give up, sending the other participant off the stage, or making the other participant unconscious. There are no ti limits. Any cultivation techniques, elents, or martial arts could be used. Are both participants ready?"
I clenched my fists and assud a fighting stance since I figured that's the only way to signal to the referee that I was ready. As for Xiao Xue, he swished his robes and did a smolder look towards the audience.
This kid, he's getting full of himself.
"Fight!"
Ice spikes ca out of the ground like shark teeth determined to swallow whole. A split second into the battle and this Xiao Xue is already using one of the most powerful ice attacks, he surely is confident. And to add to the taunt, his lips ford into a smile as more ice spikes erged from the ground. For a friendly fight, Xiao Xue sure is overextending.
Maybe, I misjudged him. Being friendly was probably his nature and being arrogant is just a part of him. If that were the case, then he must be serious about this fight just as I am serious in winning.
Of course, a re cultivator fighting a Sect Master is too much of a gap. There was simply no way Xiao Xue could win against and I'm just stating the fact.
Even if my cultivation is considerably lower than his, specifically, the cultivation of my Original Qi Core, the techniques and stats I've accumulated and honed throughout the years would never fail .
That's why, when it cos to speed, no one can defeat , unless they overwhelm with the sheer strength of soone who is realms higher than .
With graceful steps, I easily dodged and sidestepped from the ice spikes that continuously pop up from the ground. In this icy stage, Xiao Xue has the advantage since this is his domain. But against my speed, he was just a sitting duck.
From then, I watched Xiao Xue as his Qi Energy was slowly depleted. Once he reached a certain threshold or rather, a fixed amount of what's left of his Qi Energy, he stopped his attack and withdrew his icy domain.
It was obvious what he was about to do next.
"Raaaarghhh!" Xiao Xue roared without warning.
Without warning, Xiao Xue's feet started growing big as it was slowly covered in fur. After his feet, fur covered his calves, then his thighs, upwards. And as if that wasn't enough, a thin layer of ice covered the white fur that encompassed his whole body. Right now, his body was like that of an animal that just ca out of hibernation. Well, I said that because there was a thin layer of frost on his fur.
When the fur covering reached his neck, his Qi Energy suddenly leaped tenfold, making him more powerful than any other Immortal Realm cultivators out there. I almost took a step back but I managed to control myself as I shielded myself with a blanket of my Qi Energy. If I hadn't done so, I would've been blown away by the intensity of the pressure he was releasing right now.
Xiao Xue's mouth started transforming into a snout just when the fur covered his whole face. A fluffy white mane covered his neck and sharp claws protruded from his fingers and toes. Once his transformation was over, I finally realized that he transford into a werewolf.
An ice werewolf.
No, if I rember, it was the Ice Wolf Spirit Beast, not an Ice Werewolf. So he had fully integrated with it.
The other contestants surrounding us suddenly stopped their fight just so they could watch the spectacle of Xiao Xue's integration with his Spirit Beast. He was like a totally different entity, and more powerful than before. If I were to fight him head-on without using any of my powers, he would probably tear into pieces before I could even shout the na of my Sect. Truly, he is a terrifying beast, literally speaking.
However, he fought the wrong opponent. Any other contestant right here wouldn't have been able to hold a candle to him. But I wasn't just any other contestant. I was once a Sect Master. Such fancy tricks wouldn't work on . Even if he had integrated with a more powerful spirit beast, the result would still be the sa. The difference in our power was just like heaven and earth, honestly.
'Co out, Evolved Fanged Ice Wolf' I said to myself as a grin plastered on my face.
"It's ti to steal the spotlight."
