"She comprehended the sword intent!"
The grand elders gasped as they saw the blinding light released by Heng's sword.
Although it's nothing special to them since they're all way above the saint realm and had already comprehended a higher state then sword intent, they felt that it's rare to see a people of her age comprehending it.
The grand elders looked towards the grand elder of the bleeding skull and saw him calmly looking at the arena below without showing any surprise.
As soon as Kai fell from the arena, Peng Su immediately went to him and gave restoration pills. Peng Su glared at the grand elder of bleeding skull but he knew that he couldn't do anything about it since his disciple could only blame himself for being weaker.
He shook his head and looked towards the substitute he randomly chose earlier and saw that he's carving puppets. He sighed and scanned the other disciples and didn't find anyone that seems to match Heng.
'Well, it's not like we desperately need the place.' Peng Su thought with a bitter smile as he approached Huang Fu.
...
"Go to the arena, it's your turn."
While Huang Fu was carving puppets, he heard a voice in front of him. He looked up and saw a lean man that's floating above the arena pointing at him. He looked around to make sure that he's the one being pointed at.
"What are you waiting for? Just go."
The lean man spoke again as he waved his hands towards him, making him float. Huang Fu was about to resist but he noticed that he can't sense the cultivation of the lean man so he decided to be cautious and just go with it.
Not too long after, he stopped floating and landed on the arena.
'There are also eight other people who's cultivation I can't sense' Huang thought while looking at the eight floating grand elders who are above the arena.
"Begin the match!"
Amidst his thoughts, Heng who's in front of him charged at him with great speed.
'I shouldn't show too much of my strength. Let's see how far I can go without relying on my cultivation.' He thought as he jumped a distance away from her, dodging her attack.
As soon as he landed, another attack came from Heng that he was unable to dodge.
But instead of bleeding, nothing happened. The crowd looked on and noticed the spot where Huang Fu got hit and noticed that there's only a small wound.
"Body tempering cultivator!"
The crowd exclaimed as soon as they saw the result of Heng's attack on Huang Fu's body.
"He's a body cultivator! All body cultivators can fight anyone who's way stronger than them."
"But everybody knows being a body cultivator needs ten times the amount of resources a qi cultivator needs."
"What's his name? How come we haven't heard of him before?"
The crowd murmured to each other while watching the sight before them.
"Peng Su, who's that young man? Is he a trump card your empire is hiding?" Dishi teased while looking at Hang Fu and Heng fighting below the arena.
"I also don't know, I only casually picked him up earlier since I didn't believe that Kai will lose." Peng Su helplessly shook his head.
While the crowd were all talking to each other in amazement, Huang Fu is having a hard time controlling his space dao in control since it's the first time he's not using it in battle.
Since he doesn't have much experience in battles, he can only do basic attacks.
"You're only at the first level of saint realm?" Heng frowned while attacking. Although she knew that body cultivators are strong, she didn't expect that it can fight someone who's almost a realm higher.
"It doesn't matter, I'm still gonna win!" She snorted and released her sword intent towards him. With a punch, Huang Fu barely blocked her attack.
With a smirk on her face, Heng said, "At best, you're only at the first level of saint realm! My endurance is still way higher than yours." She said while bombarding him with attacks.
Huang Fu didn't respond and only kept on barely blocking her every attack with his body.
"Haha, you're gonna lose now!"
"Dreaming of beating me with only a first level saint cultivation?"
"Just give up!..."
Thud!
While Heng was mocking Huang Fu, she was suddenly swatted like a fly and flew away from the arena.
"..."
The crowd went silent seeing her being easily beaten. They never expected that someone at the first level saint realm will beat someone who's at the peak of saint realm even with body cultivation.
'Crap! I accidentally used my space dao!'
While they were in disbelief, Huang Fu is helplessly shaking his head.
