Fire and water

The core disciples just turned around when suddenly Wei Yuan shouted out of the room.

"No, wait, that girl in the golden robe stays here. The other core disciples can leave."

The elders and the sect master looked at the girl with a serious face. The name of this girl was Yao Yunmeng, she not only was a core disciples, but she was the strongest currently. Her cultivation was stage 6 core formation. She was also a swordmaster who succesfully reached sword intent. She was not a big beauty, but still way better than average. Her body was well proportioned, but her face was not that good.

The elders knew who was Yao Yunmeng, but they also knew who is Wei Yuan. He was someone who ruined the entrance exam. The current record holder inside the sect with a 701-0-8. This means 701 wins, 0 draws, 8 losses. The most brutal part was that all of his previous opponents died in the battle against him! Luckily, the elders didn't know that Wei Yuan only lost 8 times because he wanted to look weaker.

The assistant gulped and slowly opened the door. He walked in with the elders, the sect master and the core disciple. Wei Yuan sat in the center of the room. His dark eyes instantly locked on the core disciple who came in as last.

"How can I help you sect master, elders?"

Wei Yuan slightly bowed to them. He was someone who knew how to act in front of others. He also knew that the elders of the tranquil dragon sect deserved his respect. Their cultivation was high.

"We just came here after the assistant told us about your fast progression. We are just curious, I hope you don't mind."

The sect master looked around the room. He saw a mountain of books, all about Qi and sword. The level of these books was high. These were not technique, but the real explanation about Qi and how it work. It was the pure science of cultivation. Not many can understand these books and most of the cultivators hated learning about Qi.

"Seems like you studied Qi a lot. Could you show us your progress?"

The elders also nodded with their heads. They also saw many notes on the walls of the room. These notes were like equations with newly invented letters. It looked extremely difficult. The core disciple also looked at Wei Yuan. This boy before her gave off a weird aura. It was scary, unrestrained and profound. She also sensed some sharp sword Qi in the air. This Qi was very profound and strong. She knew this only because she reached the stage of sword intent.

"I can show you some of my progress, but one can only see it with enough understanding about Qi."

Wei Yuan would never reveal his real progress, but showing something new was okay. He already prepared in case something like this happens. Wei Yuan stretched out his arm and showed his open palm to the sect master. He started gathering pure Qi on the top of his palm. This Qi was transparent, like a Qi without attributions.

This Qi started to change colors. Red, blue, red, blue. The elders didn't understand first. They thought that it was two different Qi's on one palm, but the sect master gasped in shock. His understanding was deep in Qi and he understood that it was not two types of Qi's on one palm. That was not the case. It was one type of Qi. This type of Qi was water and fire element at the same type.

"Impossible. This is not logically possible. How can you use water and fire elements with one Qi?"

There was water Qi and Fire Qi. Fire and water elements were completely opposites. This new type of Qi defied logic. The elders and the core disciple heard the sect master and became shocked. Wei Yuan stopped circulating his Qi and the Qi on his palm disappeared.

"Seems like the sect master is very capable."

"How can you do this? I mean this kind of thing defies the laws of cultivation."

"Laws of cultivation? Who said that fire and water are opposites? Just because they affect each other in a negative way?"

Now the elders and the sect master can't understand Wei Yuan anymore. Yao Yunmeng was confused ever since she entered inside the room. This young boy picked her out of the core disciples. She was outside the room, but Wei Yuan still sensed her very accurately. He knew her gender and even the color of her robe without looking. This means that Wei Yuan not just sensed her presence, but actually watched her somehow. Yao Yunmeng sensed a lot of secrets behind those emotionless dark eyes all of a sudden.

"Ehmm, Junior brother. I still don't know who are you and I still don't know why am I here? Could you please tell me?"

"My name is Wei Yuan. You are here because I sensed your sword intent."

Yao Yunmeng almost fell to her knees when she heard this. She wanted to keep her sword intent a secret. Sword intent was something like a trump card for her. Now, she lost this secret. One of the elders looked at Yao Yunmeng in amazement.

"Yao Yunmeng, what he said about your sword intent is the truth?"

"Yes, elder Bao I tried to keep it a secret."

The sect master started clapping when he heard this.

"Good, good. You will definitely win the competition with Wei Yuan."

Yao Yunmeng became surprised when she heard this. She understood that the princess was a core disciple. She was the princess after all, but who is this guy? She started wondering and suddenly remembered. The young man who caused the tragedy of the entrance exam!

"You-you killed my little sister!"
