Chapter 83 - The Tournament - Round of 32 - Day 4 - Part 1 (1/2)
Lying on the bed, Mesa was thinking back to the night he just had. Ling Kun came in to try and forcibly take the Boosted Gear away from him, but failed miserably and ended up getting tortured by Mesa himself. But what Mesa was thinking about, was what he saw when he manipulated Ling Kun's memories. He saw that just before he came to him to get the Boosted Gear, he had already sold the information about Xia Qingyue's body to Ye Xinghan.
'Guess there's nothing for me to do about that. But I can work with that. Once I have the Reality Stone, I'll use it together with the Power Stone to reinforce the Frozen Cloud Asgard to such a high level, that they'll never be able to break through. After that I'll erase everyone's memories there of the Infinity Stones. Can't have the secrets of the Infinity Stones leak out. And I can use this to my advantage. Once that d.i.c.khead, Ye Xinghan, sends out his goons to collect Xia Qingyue and they hide inside the Frozen Cloud Asgard, they'll be safe until I can get to them. I'll kill the guy with the Soul Imprint to lure out Ye Xinghan and leave the rest alive. Once Ye Xinghan comes with those Elders in tow, I'll kill all of them and use the Reanimation Jutsu on them to turn them into my immortal, undead soldiers who will obey my every command.' Thought Mesa to himself with an evil smile on his face, before he went to sleep. For tomorrow he had a match against Ling Jie. Though he would win, he wanted to make this a fun match for both of them and not one where he humiliated Ling Jie. Ling Jie was a good kid and deserved a fun match in Mesa's opinion.

The next day
The audience's excitement was reaching its peak. After Mesa had turned into that draconic armor yesterday, people were excited to see it once again. But that was not all. There was also the fact that the Burning Heaven Clan group has been posted around the destroyed wall all night long and keeping everyone away. The reason for that was their Grand Elder, Fen Moli, had been stuck there all night long under Mesa's hammer, Mjolnir. The Burning Heaven Clan group had been desperately trying all night long to free Grand Elder Fen Moli, but to no avail. At some point, the entire group had been trying to lift up Mjolnir together in vain. Even people from the audience, people from other sects came to try and lift up Mjolnir, but none could even make Mjolnir move an inch, let alone lift it up. It became very, very clear to the Burning Heaven Clan group, that only Mesa could lift up Mjolnir and free their Grand Elder.
Seeing Mesa walking towards them with a nonchalant smile on his face, the entire Burning Heaven Clan felt a collective feeling of rage and pure hate boiling within the very deepest crevices of their souls for him. But they knew, that if they attacked Mesa now, he wouldn't take Mjolnir of their Grand Elder, so they very, very reluctantly let him walk up to Fen Moli, but they kept a very close eye on him.
”So Fen Moli, how was your night under Mjolnir? Good, I presume.” Said Mesa in c.o.c.ky tone, enraging Fen Moli and the Burning Heaven Clan group.
”Junior!! You better get this hammer of me, right now!” Bellowed out Fen Moli.
”Is that how you ask someone for a favor. You do know I am the only one who can lift up Mjolnir, right. If you keep acting all high and mighty like this, I'll just leave you like this. How does that sound.” Said Mesa seriously, further enraging Fen Moli.
Before he or any of the Burning Heaven Clan group could say or act, Mesa had already placed his hand on Mjolnir's handle. But before he picked it up, he whispered into Fen Moli's ear: ”I am only picking up Mjolnir, because I want it back. But here is a warning to you. If you or anyone of the Burning Heaven Clan group comes after me or anyone I care about. I promise that next time I use Mjolnir; it won't be to pin you down to the ground anymore. I will use it to crush your head with it like a f.u.c.k.i.n.g tomato and everyone else's head too.”
After having picked up Mjolnir and walking away, the Burning Heaven Clan saw their chance and they immediately wanted to attack Mesa. Before they could however, Fen Moli intervened: ”STOP! Stand down right now!”
The Burning Heaven Clan group looked back at him, thoroughly confused and demanding answers. But Fen Moli remained steadfast in position: ”Do not attack him! Under any and all circ.u.mstances! Do I make myself clear!”
Ignoring them, Mesa walked back to his group. Back at the Blue Wind Imperial Family group, he was immediately approached by Qin Wushang with a look of utmost urgency on his face: ”Mesa Uchiha! I truly hope you know what you're doing. You have made an enemy out of the Burning Heaven Clan and they will not forget what you have done to them. I am afraid they will come after you with everything they have!”
”I know that they'll come after me. It's just that I don't care about that. They can come after me all they like. All they'll feel is Mjolnir's terrible might right before their lights go out forever.” Said Mesa seriously, while clenching Mjolnir's handle.
”I see that you are ready for anything that could come up. I am already very happy that the Blue Wind Imperial Family has won a tournament. But I have been meaning to ask you, but with the chaos of the last few days that you caused, I haven't come around to it. But why did you refuse the invitation of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region? Having the opportunity to enter a such a land of dreams is one that most would absolutely kill for. I truly hope you can manage to convince your master to either let you go or to come with to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Being granted such an opportunity is a once in a lifetime chance. I would like to see you take it and ascend to the highest level of the Profound Sky Continent” Said Qin Wushang.
”I too hope I can convince my master to let me go. Or maybe I can convince my master to come with me, for this truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I do not want to squander it myself. But as long as I do not have my master's explicit permission, I cannot and will not teach his techniques to other people. Even if they are from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.” Said Mesa to give Qin Wushang some peace of mind.
In reality, Mesa was thinking something completely different: 'Why would I ever be a disciple for a place that I am gonna destroy, whose treasury I am gonna empty out and whose Sword Master I will kill.'
But pretty soon, it was Xia Qingyue turn to fight against Ling Yun in the first semifinals match. Ling Wugou came to the center of the Sword Discourse Arena and announced the first match of the day.
Jumping high up in the air, Ling Yun landed gracefully on the Sword Discourse Arena, ready for his match.
