end of duel

Though he used half of his elemental magic energy, odds are still against Aarwi. He don't know how is she still having such an incredible amount of magic energy and spiritual energy? Not to mention her agile movements and extraordinary reflexes. Whoever is she! he can't afford to lose to a woman, that too under such a situation.

She still had a wound on her shoulder which means she is practically week at physical combat. After thinking carefully, he decided to go on with physical attacks. With a loud roar, he gathers elemental energy in his hand and pulls a stone with it and throw at Aarwi. As Aarwi is planning to dodge the stone he closes in with a punch.

As expecting such a move she simply holds the ice rod perpendicular and turned ninety degrees. The stone was aimed at her wounded shoulder. By turning ninety degrees she managed to dodge the attack and by placing the rod perpendicular to her, which means by pointing the rod towards the opponent she managed to maintain the safe distance from the opponent. Yet to her surprise Mu Fung came crashing at her with an incredible speed holding a mighty punch.

Splash...…blood splashed on to her face and previously blue ice rod dyed red. Everyone opened their eyes in astonishment. Her intension was to place some distance between the opponent to avoid all possible physical attacks, but to her surprise, Mu Fung wasn't able to control his speed and rammed into the ice rod.

Ice road pierced his stomach as smooth as a hot needle piercing through cheese. Blood splashed on her face and within seconds duelling stage dyed with his blood everywhere. Mu Fung falls to the ground weekly. His previous arrogant and smug face went from terrified to pale within seconds.

Judges declared Aarwi as the winner. Healers rushed on to the stage and checked on Mu Fung. Though he is out of danger it would take a month or so for him to recover under the continuous medication and healing magic.

Seeing this city lords eyes reddened yet he maintained a calm and dignified look. As the city lord, it is the first time he faced his kin getting injured. With an evil grin on his face, he congratulated Aarwi for her great talent and promised her the seat in the academy.

While city lord is still congratulating Aarwi, an elder from the city lords command stood up and said, "city lord please don't allow such a candidate to enter the academy. Students who enter the academy are going to be the future of mankind. She didn't have any respect to city lord or the elders from the academy. She disregards the rules and intervened the event happening here and demanded a duel. She totally has a violent attitude and won't hesitate to kill anyone. She even uses a strand of her hair as her weapon and plotted to kill the son of your highness. If we allowed her to join the academy, who knows how many lives she will take? If we allow such Person to enter an academy from our city, not only she would decrease our reputation but also she would be a disgrace to our city."

Hearing the elders opinion city lord had an evil smile like he is mocking her and said, "it is true that you won the tournament but it is also a fact that you intervened the event and you even plotted to kill Mu Fung, my son. So I can't allow someone as brazen as you to enter the academy under my city name, so be prepared to take punishment".

Just as he said these words, four soldiers with black robe and faces covered with mask encircled the stage as they already know that these order is going to be issued. Someone in the crowd recognizes them and said, "it's the assassination squad". Hearing that they were not soldiers but assassins, everyone stepped back subconsciously. Each and every single one of them is a nascent mage. The gap between nascent mage and chi refinement level ten cultivator is something that no one can breach. Even a single one of them is enough to kill ten chi refinement cultivators with ease.

They released their aura on Aarwi as a sign that they are ready to make a move. Facing a single one of them is hard enough but with the four of them releasing their aura at a time an indomitable made Aarwi kneel down to the ground. Even breathing was difficult for her at this point, she completely drenched in sweat. Aarwi forced to lift her head and look at the elders from the academy, to her surprise all of them turned a blind eye to the situation.

Almost half of the crowd closed their eyes as they don't want to see her death. Though they felt its unfair none of them have enough power to oppose the city lord nor the strength to stand against city lord. Everyone is prepared to see the death of Aarwi.

Svuuuuush... a whistling sound of a stone sounded in the air following which four dull thuds were heard. "What happened ?."

"How did the four assassins died? Exclaimed! a person in the crowd. Following which blood splattered on the stage like a fountain. Four of the nascent mages dead bodies fall to the ground without heads. Seeing this everyone was terrified. This was so more for the city lord.

Who were they? nascent mages!, an existence who can shake the entire city? With four of them working together they can easily kill anyone in the city like they were harvesting crops. Yet, at this moment they were killed in the blink of an eye with their heads exploded. Its like popping balloons with a needle.

Seeing this sight city lord understand that there is an expert baking Aarwi, one that he can't afford to mess with. Being in life and death situations before, he swiftly understand the situation and turned around to flee as fast as he can. Just after taking a single step, an indomitable aura presses him to ground and he can clearly feel the pair of eyes watching him with a look of disdain.

"Who do you thing you are to touch my daughter?"

" It seems like you have a death wish. Do you want me to fulfil your wish?" an old lady voice sounded like rumbaling cloud. Every one can feel the rage and hatred in her voice. Following which an old lady walked on to the side of Aarwi.
