80 Heaven alliance meet 5 (1/2)

The five stages on the ground shook as it rose up into the sky. As it elevated, one could see small chains dragged up from the earth from all it's sides of the stages into the sky.

”You have one burning incense stick on time to stand on the ground again.” the officiating elder said, ”How you reach the ground is completely up to you. The winners and those who will be eligible to participate in the meet will be pulled from those on the ground.”

most of the contestants immediately understood what the elder's words meant. One of them was Jia Lin. By his side stood Heavenly Rain, his master's daughter. He glanced at her to see if she understood the elder's words, but her cold face held no change.

”You must not hurry to get down.” he advised and she sent him a sidelong glance.

She had always held herself above all others. Even though her father wished that she marry Jia Lin and dual cultivate with him, she felt he was beneath her. someone like her could only truly be compatible with a true dragon like the young master of the Heaven alliance, Di Wong.

Her anger towards Jia Lin was more hooked on the fact that he did not see her as anything. Not a true power or true beauty. Rumour has it that met someone more beautiful than she was. While he defiled female disciples of the gate, he dared to say such words.

Looking away from him, she saw that some had directly jumped down. For some reason, the stage that was not much higher than fifty feet, felt much higher when falling. Many panicked at the sudden change, they felt and broke a few bones.

Some tried to use the chains to climb down, but the chains were a trap too. The chains that seemed harmless had strong lightening coursing through it. If one listened well, they could hear the chains slightly buzz.

She suddenly had an understanding. Jumping down normally was impossible. The gravity around the stage was much stronger, making a fifty foot jump more dangerous.

Deciding on her next actions, she gathered her energy on her feet and stepped off the stage. Unlike those that tried this, she did not fall. Her feet settled in the air as though she had walked unto steady ground, allowing her to descend as though walking down a staircase.

The Godhand gate master smiled at this.
