Chapter 314: Teaching (1/2)

”I can't find him,' Wuying said after searching for about 5 minutes.

”Maybe he is not here. I can get the guards to search for him if you want,” the Emperor said.

”No, need. Maybe he already left the capital,” Wuying said while sounding a little disappointed.

”Big brother, I will leave now. I need to go check on my wife,” Zemin said as he stood up to leave.

”How is she by the way? Any improvements?” the Emperor asked.

”No, not really. Lai Qing is still trying to find new pills that might work for her, but nothing is really happening. It seems not even he has any idea what to do in this situation,” Zemin said with a sad face.

”Sigh, I will do something to search for people that might have some idea. Don't lose hope,” the Emperor said and watched his brother leave. He then looked at Zexi and asked, ”Don't you want to leave too?”

Zexi looked outside the arena with a curious smile and said, ”No, No I don't think I will.”

CLANG

Swords clashed on the stage as both of the fighters pushed each other back. One of them threw out a golden slash towards the other, while the other one parried it to hit a barrier behind him.

Alex and the rest of the tiger sect were upon the seating area watching the fights.

”Sigh, I guess we won't see interesting fights until around 64 people remain. Two more rounds of Single Battles to go, I guess,” Wen Cheng said.

”Are people doing nothing but hiding their abilities to not give away their advantage?” Alex asked.

”Yes. So the battles are very straightforward and easy to get bored of,” Wen Cheng said. ”Still, you should learn a few things from today's battles.”

”First of all, as you can see, cultivation base isn't everything. Look at that guy named…. Macks? Maks?”

”Max,” Alex helped Wen Cheng with the pronunciation.

”Yes, that guy. His cultivation base is at 9th Meridian Tempering realm, Yet he is barely keeping up with his opponent that has 8th Meridian Tempering realm.”

”From that name, I can tell he's one of the new cultivators that have popped up recently around the empire. He has so much cultivation base, but because he rushed to where he is now, it's not properly stabilized, and thus he can't use the full capabilities of his cultivation base.”

”Sigh, I don't know what sort of idiot let that guy into the competition,” Wen Cheng said.

Alex knew these things already, but he had never seen a rushed cultivation base be this bad. It was like the player couldn't even release all of the Qi in his body at once.

'Well, I'm glad I didn't rush,' Alex thought.

Max was throwing out attacks, but none of it were landing on the opponent. Soon, he was overwhelmed by his enemy's attack and got defeated.
