Yang Dao and the girls enjoyed a cup of tea before he sent the two girls back. Alisha ca to sit down beside him under the pavilion and she asked, "Young Master, what is troubling you?"
The youngster shook his head and said, "Can you tell about the four participants of the coming tournant?"
Alisha nodded and said, "I have so knowledge regarding them Young Master but nothing special." she was not sure if the knowledge she had would be sufficient for him.
Yang Dao nodded and gave her a signal to go on. Alisha replied, "We have two neighbors, one of them being the Prestige School. They are a group of people who recruit only those with mutated physiques. These mutated physiques could be anything from an extra limb to a physique that conflicts with traditional cultivation. However, they are not bad people. They work to put down the Daemons as well."
Yang Dao sipped on the tea as he nodded to let her keep going on. Alisha followed his intention, "Prestige School, is guided by a person as strong as our sect leader. He was suppressed and looked down on by the other people as a child because of the third eye on his forehead. Many years later, the person developed an ability to create illusions that can even trouble Sect Master a little."
Yang Dao nodded and asked, "I would like to ask him, how it works."
Alisha smiled faintly and shook her head. Yang Dao was just too curious about things sotis, the other person was an opponent. How can he let out the secret of his technique? She said, "The other neighbor we have is a small sect that rules only one planet, but they are not to be taken lightly. They are all genius sword cultivators. Their sect master can split a whole planet with a slash. They rank first among the five sects that compete in the tournant."
Yang Dao raised his brow and asked, "I wonder how they do it. I would like to compete with them."
Alisha nodded and said, "They are called Immortal Sword Sect, they welco anyone who uses a sword to have friendly exchanges. So of their disciples are haughty and arrogant, but they are mostly fine. So that will not be a problem, they might even try to befriend you. After all, I do not know anyone with the age of ten in their sect to have comprehended the intent of sword."
Yang Dao shrugged and said, "I am just lucky. Do not put on the pedestal Senior Sister Alisha."
Alisha sighed and continued with her explanation, by now she had understood that Yang Dao was not soone who liked to be sweet-talked. She said, "The fourth mber of the pentagon is Sweet Elixir Sect. They are concentrated in the field of alchemy, their sect master is in competition with Elder Jing Shui to be recognized as the top alchemist of this side of the immortal plane, but they are always tied up. However, they do have people who excel in martial skills as well."
Yang Dao nodded, he did find alchemy to be the primary direction of a sect to be surprising but that was all. He was focused on alchemy because he found that pills can save lives, make you stronger, cure illness, and also bring you money. That was all, he was not obsessed with it.
Alisha said, "The final mber of the pentagon is called Titan Sect. They are a group of flashy people. Everything in their sect is similar to ours, however, they have one more criterion to recruit disciples. That is beauty."
Yang Dao chocked on the mouthful of tea as he heard this. Alisha quickly ca to his side and patted his back gently. After the boy recovered and asked, "What is with this recruitnt criterion? Absurd."
Alisha chuckled and said, "Well, they are like a shop that deals with antiques, one real and nine false. They cannot be taken lightly. What they excel in are networking and business. Their business is booming."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "So that is the case. Hmm, well, the ti is less. I need to advance by one more realm before the tournant starts."
Alisha nodded and asked, "What about the skills, Young Master?"
Yang Dao replied, "I plan to ask Elder Chi about this. Get him to cast us, the candidates for the tournant, a ti acceleration array. That way, we can practice better and get things done faster."
Alisha nodded and then the two people turned in for the night. Yang Dao was not impatient, so he decided to wait till the morning.
...
While Yang Dao was getting all ready for the last sprint, the other sects were not slacking off either.
On a small planet, a teenager sat on the peak of a mountain, his face was reflected with the golden sunlight, highlighting his exquisite features, he gave off a sharp aura as if a sword itself. Suddenly the teenager opened his eyes and asked, "What is it?"
A ek voice sounded from behind him, "Senior Brother, Master has called all the true disciples to the gathering hall. The ti for the tournant is upon us."
The youngster stood up and nodded, "Very well. Let go and see, if there is any talent in the other sects."
He stood up from his place and after stretching his body, he went down the mountain.
...
In front of a cauldron, inside the Sweet Elixir Sect, stood a girl, she looked as delicate as a painting from ancient tis. Behind her stood an old lady with a calm disposition and sharp eyes. As the girl in front of her stopped her movents, the old lady said, "Xue, the ti for the competition is near, are you ready?"
The girl turned around and said, "Yes, Master. I am ready."
The old lady nodded and said, "Put your best effort but be calm, and do not get affected by anything else."
The girl bowed to the old lady and turned back to attend to the cauldron with her sword tied to her waist shining from the fire emitting from her hands.
...
Inside a lavish palace, five beautiful looking n and won sat around a subtly decorated wooden table. Behind them stood equally beautiful teenagers. They all had noble bearings and aura.
A well-grood old man said, "The sovereign sect will be coming in hard for the tournant this ti. They suffered a loss at our hands last ti. Be careful and be prepared, I will not allow any mistakes."
The people responded in unison, "Yes, sect master."
The old man nodded and stood up from his chair, he walked to the corner of the hall and gazed outside the window, then with a sigh, he raised his head to gaze at the sky and mumbled, "We will et again soon, my rival."
Yes, the actions were done deliberately.
...
Yue Ming was moving around inside the array with a sword in his hand, slashing around at the puppets relentlessly, he did not stop, despite the fact that his body was riddled with shallow sword-cut wounds. Even his face was not spared from the punishnt.
The puppets in front of him were all high-level artifacts and the reason he was inside was to trigger his physique, the blood elixir physique. His blood was potent enough to heal all his ailnts and increase his cultivation to one major realm, that is all in the short-term. In the long-term, his cultivation talent will improve a lot thanks to his physique.
As Yue Ming moved, a man appeared behind him, wrapped in black robes. The man gave off a dignified aura and his forehead had a big third eye inside as if a gem. The man smiled when he saw Yue Ming moving around with the wounds. He asked, "What will you need if the bloodline did not activate?"
Yue Ming did not stop and acted as if he had not heard the guy. The man smiled and said, "You may think that sitting on top of your family throne is the end of the world and the peak of it too. However, in the face of sheer strength and skill, a lot of things fall, even families and domains. Aim higher, Yue Ming, and then only will you be able to move forward."
As Yue Ming ignored everything and kept moving around between the puppets.
...
Yang Dao got out of his bed and after refreshing up made his way directly to the Array hall. He was greeted by a lot of early risers on the way and they all wished him the best of luck for the tournant. After his suggestion, the other participant disciples took the third trial and the elder council released the list of candidates that will represent the sect in the upcoming tournants.
Yang Dao had his na written at the top in golden bold characters.. The Dao Child decided to aim for the highest position in the tournant and kept on walking.
