28 Semi-finals (1/2)
*Knock Knock*
”...”
Rainer woke up after hearing someone knocking at his door.
”Aww...go ahead...”
”Are you still sleeping, young master?”
Alisha came to wake Rainer after finding that he was not awake by lunchtime.
”Young Master!”
Alisha shouted in surprise after she saw Rainer.
”What's wrong Alisha, is there something weird on my face? He asked with a smile.
”You're getting gray at your age! That's really bad,” Said Alisha as she passed a mirror to Rainer.
”...!”
From the mirror, he was able to see his face. Although he was not a pretty boy, Rainer could be considered attractive.
His eyes were big and profound, his eyebrows were sharp and his jaw was marked.
And his dark brown hair...had a greyish lock!
”It must be a side effect from the time fountain...” Rainer thought after tugging the lock and playing with it.
”Don't worry about the lock, I really like the way my hair looks.” Said Rainer to reassure Alisha.
...
After having lunch with Alisha, Rainer decided to continue learning more about the time manipulation, although he had obtained the time fountain, Rainer was like a baby starting to crawl before walking.
The time manipulation demanded the use of a fountain, after spending it, one had to wait for the time within it to be refilled.
You can think about it as a pool that fills up in rainy season and dries up in summer, to fill up again in spring.
This kind of magic had no single spell, its use was based on the wit and dexterity of its user.
The potential of such magic depends on who uses it, that's what makes it so dangerous, without practice you'll never know what might go wrong.
The only requirement is that such magic must be practiced at an equal level with the spatial attribute, if the spatial energy is unable to contain the force of time, the owner of the time fountain will die!
Rainer was too weak to even practice time magic! He would simply be throwing his life away by using this magic.
”I have this power on my hands, but I can't use it as I want...huhhh”
Rainer sighed discouraged after the news, he thought that after getting this power he could do what he wanted and no one could stand against him.
”It's not like I'm the main character of a generic xianxia novel...”
...
The following day, all the clan members gathered again in the main square.
The semi-final matches will be held today and the five most powerful and talented youngsters of the clan will be decided.
After the battles that took place yesterday, those few cultivators who managed to reach the semi-finals decided to withdraw from the tournament.
The strongest cultivators joined the Lorren clan as guards and the non-selected were rewarded for reaching the semi-finals.
Due to the withdrawal of several participants, a total of nine fighters would compete in the semi-finals and the confrontations would be decided on a draw.
Being an uneven number of participants, a youth would reach the final round of the competition without having to fight.All of them were looking forward to the elder in charge of the drawing.
”The participants have to grab a number and show it to the audience!”Shouted the elder in charge of the draw.
