Chapter 62 - 62 : A Beautiful Yet Dangerous Lotus (1/2)

The next matches were slightly better than the ones on the next round as it the fighters were better, but that's to be expected considering they won the first round.

There were martial artists, mages, and some dual classes but the most common one was mages.

It is known that not all people can use 'Qi', so that's why there was not a lot of martial artists from the participants.

Of course there can be some fighters and people who use normal close combat skills using mana, but the techniques which required Qi are stronger, this didn't apply on all cases but generally, the techniques and skills with the Qi are better.

Most of the participants were mages, and that's totally normal as mages can kite and even without Qi, people can still deal a lot of damage and possibly one shot someone.

So although there were people unable to use Qi, they relied on their talent for magic to become great mages and came here to try their luck and show their flashy skills.

The matches proceeded normally, the bandaged guy and the pretty woman won easily like the last round.

As for the bald daoist who was named Gobu, he won exactly like last time, he struggled against a girl from the Yun Clan before pushing her off the arena, simple yet effective.

The audience opinion about him seemed to decrease, they didn't like his way of fighting as he was always evading and didn't attack, he would sneakily come from behind and strike so they kept booing him.

Very soon, the 15 matches were done and the 15 winners were given another half an hour pause.

Since there were 15 people, there is a person who would be left alone without an opponent so they decided to let him fight against a random person from the winners of this round.

This person was decided by luck, and apparently, it was a disciple from the Ma clan, it was a short girl who appeared to be shy but Arthur knew she was powerful, just previously she nearly one hit her opponent, too fierce!

As for Arthur, his opponent was a person from the Xi Clan.

The matches were even more exciting, the skills and techniques used damaged the arena, but fortunately, it was a large one so it didn't cause any problems.

Arthur's match was decent, he won again by attacking consistently with his kicks and punches while using some wind cyclone and tornados every now and then to suppress the enemy.

It worked perfectly, plus he was weaker than Diyun so it didn't take him long to lose

The third round was finished after an hour of fighting, the shy small girl won against a random person who also won in the third round, he was disqualified because he lost to her and she proceeded to the fourth round.

Same thing for Gobu, the bandaged guy, and that pretty girl.

There were 7 participants left, the girl from the Ma clan, Arthur and the 3 other monsters and 2 final people, one was a girl from the Yun Family while the other was the dark robed person from earlier.

Arthur was surprised when he saw this dark robed person proceed to the fourth round, nonetheless, he had already decided not to let him leave this island alive, that's for sure.

This time's competition was surprising as usually, the people proceeding to the fourth round and 70% disciples from the clan, but this time, the majority were participants coming from outside.

..

Yet another half an hour was given and the names and opponents were arranged.

Arthur's opponent was the little shy girl from the Ma clan, and surprisingly, the bandaged guy and the pretty girl who was named 'SilentFlower' were against each other, as for Gobu, he was against the guy from the Xi Clan, while the girl from the Yun family will fight later against a random winner.

Arthur's name was called first followed by Mia, the shy girl's name, she kept an embarrassed look as she slowly walked to the arena.

Arthur also headed for the arena and waited for the time to pass so the fight can begin. To be honest, he wasn't interested in fighting her, well fighting anyone from the Ma clan generally, because it's needless, he wanted to fight others, why not was he not put against that guy from the Xi Clan, he appeared to be pretty good, his purple fire was very strong and his attack seemed accurate and his decisions were perfect.

Arthur observed him from the very beginning and was a bit interested in him, unfortunately, he will lose against Gobu, that's for sure.

The 20 seconds soon passed and Mia rushed at Arthur using [Petal Footsteps], she was fast as she dashed towards him while throwing her punch at him.

Arthur easily blocked that punch with his palms but what special about this girl is that she is fast at attacking, she continuously attacked him as if she was boxing, but no matter how fast her fists were, they were unable to pass through his palms.

With each punch, he noticed her attacking speed increase a by a small amount and after dozens of punch, it became incredibly fast, this girl was really talented, if he was not her opponent but someone else, maybe she would have won, of course, if her opponent is not Arthur or either of the 3 other monsters.

Arthur decided to finish it fast so he lightly kicked her abdomen and sent her flying, he defended from the very beginning so Mia gained a bit of confidence but his high-speed kick which was like lightning surprised her and she couldn't react in time to evade or block.

She somehow managed to stabilize her body at the edges of the arena and crouched down holding her abdomen and showing a pained expression.

She only groaned for a couple of seconds before she adjusted her body and stared at Arthur with fear and excitement.

Mia loved fighting, especially when she met opponents stronger than her, so she rushed at Arthur yet again, but unfortunately for her, he wasn't in a mood to fight her so with a speed much faster than her, he rushed at her and while doing that, four walls of flames were created around her, completely shocking her as she thought he was only good at wind magic but those flames were clearly purple.

After he did that, he willed them to encircle her and strike her at the same time, however, she clever and jumped high in the sky to avoid them but that only resulted in being struck in the back by Arthur, who jumped behind her with lightning speed and attacked her without giving her enough time to react.

This time she couldn't stop her body from hitting the ground out of the arena, as she stared at him with shock, she was depressed as if this wasn't a tournament she would have continued the fight, it's such a pity, she pouted and headed back to her clan's area.

Arthur walked back to his previous place and gazed at the arena waiting for the next fight, he really wanted to watch the fight between SilentFlower and the bandaged guy.

Luckily, the next match was that fight so he relaxed his body and stared at the two of them, he really wished for something to eat right now, it's as if he was in a cinema about to watch a movie.

The two of them soon faced each other, the bandaged guy named Tianqi kept mumbling some nonsense while SilentFlower coldly stared at him, this time she unsheathed her double blades and prepared herself as she knew her opponent was simple like the others.

Those bandages were very fast and strong, the pierced several barriers like they were paper and even broke bones easily.

Just as the waiting time was done, the bandaged guy used the same attack to strike the girl, the bandage headed for her with fast speed but this time, it was blocked.

SilentFlower elegantly slashed her double swords at the bandage, her attack contained a hint of ice yet when Arthur saw it, it was clearly ice but it had a pink color.

The bandages were cut this time and some of it was deflected to the site, as for her two slashes, they transformed into two ice arrows which were aimed at the bandaged guy, their speed was faster than the bandage and they emitted a freezing aura, Arthur could feel it from that big distance.
