I was late. When I woke up, I realized that not one, not two, but three whole days had passed. It was the day of the Liu Family gathering, and I had to make haste or I would lose my opportunity to participate in the martial gathering completely.
,m Luckily, by the ti I had arrived, they were just calling my na. After I announced myself, everyone looked at with gazes of derision. They did not like one bit. Liu Kun took this mont to put in deeper trouble.
He got up and started shouting.
"Liu Feng! Do you have no respect for the elders? You have wasted their ti! You should apologize and forfeit imdiately!" he shouted.
I smiled in response.
"Forgive elders. I was held back because of my breakthrough. Or else, I would certainly be here on ti." I said.
"Breakthrough? Stop lying. All of us know that you are not capable of cultivating. Inculding you in the participant role was just a formality. Wasting our ti is one matter, but lying to us is another. You should be taken to the punishnt hall for the offenses that you are committing." the judge looked at with cold eyes.
I scanned the crowd. I found my father, who looked at . He nodded at , and I nodded back. With this, I had the permission of my father as well. I jumped from where I stood. Imdiately, I landed on the arena, which was a full three hundred ters away from where I stood. This was the change that the foundation establishnt stage had.
The crowd shut up imdiately. They were shocked still. They looked at with eyes of confusion. Even the judge could not believe his eyes. This was not sothing any ordinary cultivator in the Qi Cultivation realm could do.
"I think we should start the match. We should not waste any more ti." I smiled.
"Ye-yes. We should start the match." the judge said, stuttering.
The mont he said that, my figure flickered. A sword appeared in my hands, and I appeared behind Liu Yin. The sword touched her neck before she could even move.
"You lost. Any more movent and you will lose your life. Just yield." I said coldly. The sword was because I did not want to show all of my trump cards in the first round. These were left for dealing with Liu Xin. He probably entered the foundation establishnt stage much before , so he had more Qi than . I needed to deal with him more than anyone else.
"I yi-yield." Liu Yin said, shaking. She did not expect to move at such fast speeds and take care of her in an instant.
"The battle is over. Liu Feng wins. He shall proceed to the next round." the judge announced, but he was not convinced. He looked at the scene with unblinking eyes, trying to find sothing wrong with it.
I let go of the sword, catching it below with my other hand. I let her go, and walked away.
"It was a good fight, Junior sister. But you will need more practice." I smiled as I got off the ring. I headed over to where my father and mother were sitting. They were probably worried sick about where I was the last three days. Even I did not expect to just fall asleep like that. It took longer than even the restructuring that happened in the cave five months ago!
My father took one look at , and his eyes lit up.
"You are a real genius! I cannot believe it. I can sense that your body has a foundation within it. You have reached the foundation establishnt stage! I just left you for two months and you reached the foundation establishnt stage. This is a speed that even the royal capital has never seen before. You really are the son of- I an, my son. Your father and mother are proud." he said smiling.
I knew sothing was wrong. The way that he slipped up, he said sothing truly wrong. I heard rumors of this elsewhere in the city, and in the elder council when I first arrived, but hearing it from father confird it. I was probably not my father's son. I was probably adopted. The feelings that I had for the two of them stemd from the mories that I got from this body. The true Liu Feng died thinking his parents were his real parents. I shook my head. I needed to deal with this later. I had more important things on hand right now.
"Father. I need to try and win the martial gathering. With the guidance of the great master who saved the last ti, and the arts that he gave , I think that I have a chance. What realm is Liu Xin in? He is probably going to be my toughest opponent." I asked.
"Once again, you underestimate everyone else. You may have gotten to the foundation establishnt stage through sheer speed, but your cultivation is probably not stabilized enough. You should have told that you got here so I would have helped you built a proper and solid foundation. But never mind that. We cannot change anything. Just try your best. No one expects you to win the Liu Family gathering, let along the martial gathering. It is going to be tough. You should just try your best not to lose against Liu Kun and the others. Opponents in the foundation establishnt stage are beyond you." Liu Qian shook his head.
I could not believe it. My own father did not believe in , and did not want to support in my conquest. This was outrageous. Little did he know the amount of practise that I had in the colosseum.
