Clan competition (3)

Dwight summoned the Fire Elephant and a Fire Spirit Soldier. Leon summoned the usual Frost Snake and Fire Tiger.

The Fire Spirit soldier took out a sword of fire and charged. The elephant started using a skill.

Leon couldn't beat Dwight easily. If he did not only would he be put back on the radar of enemy clans. He would also be suspected by the Clan elders and head. They would probably send people to investigate him. Although he could easily avoid them he wasn't sure what would happened to his parents. What if his parents reveal the story he told them? He might be forced to purse blacksmithing rather then cultivation.

So he was going to make this fight look difficult. Leon had the snake shoot the weekend ice it could at the tiger and made the tiger use its fire to create steam. Although the process was slow. Leon was able to make it in time just before the soldier hit the tiger.

The steam covered Leon and Dwight. It had layered the whole stage.

People around were surprised. "We can't see anymore, who will win?"

"I think it is quite obvious Dwight will, Leon is just delaying inevitable."

The frost snake used frost ray on the elephant. While the elephant used Flame Shot from its trunk countering the ice. Leon used soul vibrations to tell the tiger to use Flame Claw. With it he started to cough a large amount of blood. The tiger attacked the soldier and clawed an arm off. While the frost snake used stealth, got close to the Elephant and hit it with a Frost Ray at point blank.

Leon got onto his knees and acted like he had severe internal injuries from over using his soul energy. Dwight stood there confused on what just happened he thought the fight was going very well until he suddenly lost.

He also felt pain and fainted because he wasn't able to unsummon them in time as he couldn't see.

The stage cleared and the people see Leon kneeling while covered in blood and Dwight fainted. The referee Loic looked around surprised. He had seen what had happen in the steam vaguely. Leon had used his Fire tiger defeat blood soldier. This distracted Dwight who was not able to give an order to the fire elephant as he couldn't see which the Frost snake used to its advantage and beat it.

He wasn't announcing the victory. He had assumed Dwight would easily win. Now Leon had won the whole competition, he wouldn't allow it. He wanted to wait out until Leon fainted so he could call it a draw. The Clan head would then decide who won and he would easily choose Dwight as he is more talented.

Leon had already planned something like this would happen. He fell forward head first. But then strongly reached out his hands and pushed himself up. He then slowly stood up. His body continuously twitching and shaking he then clenched his hand high up into the air. The crowd went wild.

Is what Leon was expecting, no one really cared. In his head he could hear the Fire Tiger Laughing.

Finally, Cesar who was moved to years started clapping his heart out. Although many didn't know Leon personally they all knew Pace. So in the end they didn't really hate Leon because of how Pace treated Leon as his brother. They also loved a good Blackhorse winning story. So everyone joined in the cheering.

Loic now not having a choice announced

"The winner is number 57, Leon Flamesmith!"

Leon heard the people clap and cheer. He tried to act strong but then fell to the ground as well. Obviously this was all an elaborate act using Formless Aura. He had been using Formless Body to make himself look injured as well.

With his eyes closed he heard people coming towards him then felt that he was being lifted afterwords he was laid on a soft mattress.

In a while he heard a someone come in. A while later he heard the door open again. He recognised two of the voices as his parents and the other unknown female voice was probably the doctor.

"This boy has severe blood lost, almost to the point of it being fatal, he has been mainly been running on soul energy. But he should be able to recover from this in a few months he just needs to eat a few blood Ginseng to increase his blood again." The doctor paused. "The clan should be willing to give Leon a few blood Ginseng with him winning the competition."

A few hours after the doctor left Leon woke up. His parents told him what happen.

"Mom dad I can tell you that I am fine. I plan on getting a 100 year old blood Ginseng to heal myself. The Clan only has 10 year old Blood Ginseng although it will heal me its likely to leave effects on my already weak body. I'll be going to Blood Sea City anyway. Over there I'll be able to buy the Blood Ginseng cheaper and recover quickly." Leon said confidently.

"Leon if you say you are fine we will believe you, go to blood sea city, your elder brother Pace should be there, we will send a letter to him." Leon's father said. He then smilied and hugged Leon.

"Well done! Son you won the competition, although my son is not a genius he still is talented."

Leon's mother nodded as she hugged Leon as well "Leon make sure to not get too injured. Now that you won the competition the clan will make sure to help you, so come running back if something happens."

Leon's parents leave after saying some good byes.

Leon didn't really have anything to pack but he needed to get his prize. He went to the holy Flame tower and found the Clan head.

"Leon well down winning the competition. I told you to work hard and you did. Come with me to the treasury."

Leon followed him up and to the treasury. There were ten elders standing guard and the T-rex form before was still there.

The elders bowed to the Clan head and he opened the grade using his clan head token. Inside the treasury. Leon acted lost and amazed. He went to every other thing and stared at it. The Clan elder watched this will shaking his head.

"Come on Leon choose quickly I'll give you twenty minutes find what you want and I'll take it out for you."

Leon ran into the treasury to look.

"This treasury only had a few objects of actual worth in it. The Ice Pierce Knife, a high grade spirit weapon gotten from defeating a summoning Master by one of the ancestors of the Clan. The Clan head probably won't let me touch it. The other is the Cracked Ice fruit. It helps in cultivating stronger ice types. It breaks the ice type the beast or cultivators uses and allows them to easily learn another. So if I used it on the Frost snake it could be able to create NetherWorld ice."

"The Clan head probably won't let me get that either. It is one of the best Heavenly material the Clan will ever find. He won't let me use it on a variation three voidstars beast."

"There is only one object left then. The reason I came here to begin with." Leon stopped in front of a necklace. It was rusty and bronze. It had a bronze locket that looked tightly shut.

Leon showed what he wanted to the Clan head. "Leon are you sure you want this. How about something better like that sword over there or maybe even that pill."

"No thanks Clan head. I really like the design. And I have weapons and I don't think I need to eat pills to grow stronger right now."

"Fine if you say so. But I feel like I'm scamming you how about you choose another item."

Leon went straight for the fruit.

"We have to follow rules. It would be unfair for everyone else, here is the necklace. Good bye." The Clan head then pushed Leon out of the treasury.

tsch.

Leon knew the Clan head was a cheapskate. In his past life he had given Leon one gift through out the whole time Leon lived in the tower. It was the Fire Prism Soul Jem he wasn't even able to get.

In the end Leon left. The tower, clan then town. He summoned his two beast and headed for Blood Sea City.
