With all four quarter-final matches taking place at once on the four stages in the arena, the audience was split on the decision of which match to focus on.
Most opting to watch Liao Wei, the dark house's match, the real Liao Wei received news from one of his new subordinates about how famous his na had beco.
"Sir. Sir. You are famous," one of the Black Dragon Group mbers called out as they showed him a video of himself fighting in an arena.
Even he was confused by how handso, toned and young he looked in the video and despite how different they appeared as a whole, the facial features were identical to his own.
How was that even possible?
"Do I have a long lost twin?"
But that still didn't explain how they were much younger? How he didn't know them? And how the hell they were so skilled and amazing at fighting?
Then it hit him.
"It must be Adam. Sohow he is using my face to take part in the tournant," he exclaid in realisation.
He had mixed feelings about it, and couldn't decide whether it was a good or bad thing for him, but either way, he couldn't complain to Adam about it and it wasn't like he could do anything about it.
However, he couldn't help but beco interested in how everything would turn out.
There were barely any recordings or pictures of the tournant, with the Martial Arts Union being very strict about their confidentiality, but from what he had seen, Adam seed to be doing very well in the tournant, just like had expected.
And since it wasn't sothing he could watch remotely on TV, he instructed his subordinate to report news of everything that happened to him, especially everything around himself.
anwhile, Adam, disguised as Liao Wei, was looking his opponent directly in the eyes as they looked each other up and down.
It was the quarter-final, and they had everything to lose in the battle, with Adam's opponent taking it much more seriously than he was.
After that, all that was left was the semi-final and final, then they would be qualified for the national tournant, which was fad and known throughout the country.
It was an achievent and impressive enough to just get into the national tournant and even the regional tournant, which was why Adam's opponents so far had fought so hard to win, with so even burning their life force to try to win.
Although forbidden, there were many discrete ways to do so and also take boosting pills for sudden strength enhancents, but each and every ti, Adam would defeat his opponents effortlessly.
Now he was faced with soone who had watched closely and had caught his eye, the Scarlet Swordmaster.
She had bright red hair that weirdly seed to be her natural hair colour, since even her eyelashes were red, and her sword skills were very impressive.
And what caught Adam's eye the most was how fast and beautiful her sword strikes were, with each of them leaving behind only a scarlet blur, which was where she had gotten her nickna from.
One of the first female opponents Adam had faced so far in the tournant, with not many participating in this region, she had impressed Adam more than most of the n that took part.
And upon further inspection, she would have been a serious contender for the 1st place, with Gong Yunru also being quite capable as well as so of those in the quarter final.
But her gender ant nothing to Adam who would fight her just like he would have fought anyone else, as he swung around the sword he had picked up from the weapon rack to face her with.
Getting used to its weight and length, Adam didn't really like the sword as a weapon, unlike most cultivators who opted to use the sword as their main weapon. He felt as though, although capable and suitable for most, for him it didn't offer him as much as a spear or daggers could.
It was very versatile and could be used for offence and defence, but didn't have anything that gave it an overall advantage over other weapons.
Which was why the wielder would have to be very skilled or have their own unique style to flourish as a sword wielder.
As a whole, it was a great weapon, and every weapon had its advantages and disadvantages, but Adam was yet to find a sword style that he felt comfortable with and also hadn't spent much ti developing one.
Adaptability was what he prided himself in, able to use any weapon and fight against any opponent, always finding a way to co out on top.
But the sword was one of the weapons that Adam was least secure in, despite it arguably being one of the most fundantal and easy to learn to wield.
And what better way to find his way of the sword and improve his mastery over it than by fighting against a capable swordsman?
"So, Su Lan. Why don't you use the full extent of your swordsmanship and stop holding back?" said Adam as soon as their battle comnced, knowing that she was still holding back so power.
From her previous battles, he observed that she still had a latent power and more skill that she could have used in her battles, which she was wisely concealing and conserving for tougher battles.
However, if she thought about holding back against Adam, her minuscule chance of winning against Adam beca even smaller.
"I believe you are still not worthy, and I am saving it for a later date. But if you can force to use it, then I am more than happy to," she responded calmly.
Adam smiled and signalled for her to attack him, eager to take on her swordsmanship head-on after watching her battles from the sidelines.
And with that, their battle of swordsmanship began.
