Chapter 13: Spirit Roots (2/2)
”This leaf contains yin essence, which may help you in cultivation” she said
”Thank you” the king said and took the leaf carefully and stored it in his storage ring.
She went back to her seat. Elder Yue and the sect master came in front of the king and took out their gifts. Elder Yue gave a pill.
”This pill is special, this will definitely help with the king's 'cultivation' ” Elder Yue said and gave him that pill. King silently took that pill and smiled at him. The Sect master took out a bottle.
”This bottle is full of holy spring from our sect” the sect master said.
”Wow, good! Thank you” the king said.
Both of them came back and sat down. After some time, everyone ate the meal.
A kid jumped into the middle of the hall.
”Sorry to disturb you all, but it's getting boring, let's celebrate and have some entertainment”
He looked like 19 years old and in the 9th stage of the Qi Condensation realm.
”My name is Ti Jen, I will accept any battle from anyone. If anyone wishes to fight, then please step up” Ti Jen said proudly.
”Oh” king was surprised but was interested as to how they will fight.
”I will fight with you” another kid jumped in front of him. He was also in the 9th stage of the Qi condensation realm.
”My name is Xing Ba,” he said by folding both fists.
”Sure,” Ti Jen said and took out the sword from his storage bag. And Xing Ba also took out his sword.
Both of them held their swords tight, but were not moving.
”You, attack first” Ti Jen said with a smile.
”Okay” Xing Ba attacked first. He directly aimed at his neck and Ti Jen countered with his sword, and kicked in his stomach.
BOOM!
Xing Ba was pushed back. And Ti Jen smiled.
”Hmm, nothing special” he mocked him.
Xing Ba looked at him with a smile and said:
”Really?” After saying that he ran with great speed and aimed at his right arm.
”Your moves are easy to see” Ti Jen said and took a defensive position but when the sword was about to make contact with his right arm he felt pain in his stomach.
”Take it back” Xing Ba fooled him that he was aiming for his arm and kicked in his stomach.
Ti Jen was pushed back but he was perfectly fine
”Looks like I underestimated you, my apologies. Now I will get a little serious” Ti Jen said.
”A little? Looks like you're still underestimating me!” Xing Ba said and swung his sword at him.
”No, I'm not” Ti Jen said and raised his sword.
*Sword Strike 1*
He used a martial skill! ...Du Chan, who was staring at the princess, was disrupted by that skill. When he looked at the battle, he saw qi formed like a line and moving towards Xing Ba.
Xing Ba also used martial skill too.
*Shadow walk”
He dodged the sword strike with high speed. Du Chan was surprised to see such skills. Moving fast, sword skill.
'Wow, so this is the use of martial skills!' Du Chan thought. He can control the qi in the body but he couldn't do that.
The fight continued, but after some sword strikes, both got tired and at that time. Xing Ba lowered his guard. And Ti Jen took advantage of it and won the match. Both of their family members gave them a pill and both of them sat down to recover, but the battle has already ended and Ti Jen won.
Another battle has started. Du Chan continued to watch the battles, some won some lost. But no one talked about anything. And a kid came into the middle of the hall and pointed his finger at Du Chan.
”I want to challenge you” That kid challenged.
”Me?” Du Chan said. It was a surprise that he chose him over all those genius!
”Yes, you” that kid said.
”Okay…” Du Chan started to walk and came in front of him.
”My name is Du Chan” he said.
And another guy said ”My name is Wan Zhong” and took his sword out. But Du Chan remained like that without a weapon.
”Take your weapon out” Wan Zhong said.
Du Chan thought of taking out the dagger but it would attract too much attention so he stopped it.
”I don't use weapons” he said but when Wan Zhong heard it he felt he was mocking him.
”Don't underestimate me, even though you are from a higher sect I will not go easy on you!” Wan Zhong said.
”What? What are you talking about?” He doesn't understand what he said
”You are not from the Extreme Martial sect?” Wan Zhong asked in confusion.
”No” Du Chan answers
”Then...why are you sitting with Elder Yue?” Wan Zhong asked.
”Hmm, that's a long story. I'm his guest but let's have duel first ” Du Chan said. And took his position. Both his hands were raised up top in front of his face. It was like he was in a boxing position.
”Yes” Wan Zhong said and attacked first. He ran in front of Du Chan and aimed at his neck.
Du Chan stood without moving. When the sword was about to reach him, he punched Wan Zhong's right in the chin.
BOOM!
With a single strike, Wan Zhong crashed on a nearby table. His eyes rolled backwards and he went unconscious.….
