Tournament Spots

After this, Xian Ye never bothered Mu Yue again. Even if they met coincidentally, Xian Ye will lower her head as a sign of obedience.

Not having anything to worry about, Mu Yue focuses on her cultivation. As for the moonlight tear she bought, she had been slowly absorbing it since they went back to the school from hunting in the forest.

The moonlight tear contains the concentrated essence of the moon. To absorb it most sufficiently, she had to be near it while cultivating under the moon. The moonlight will then help on guiding the essence towards her body, ensuring that nothing will be wasted.

In the last week of the 5th month of them attending the school, there was a selection that happened. The selected students were the ones that will compete for the tournament that will be attended by all the schools in their continent.

The school could bring ten students that will compete for the combat portion of the tournament. They also have to choose students that will fight to be the best for each profession.

The school has been doing the monthly battle for the rankings so they picked the students that were performing well and had them fight for the ten spots.

As for who was the best in each profession, they decided to hold a short competition. The auxiliary professions were tasked to create a specific item of their profession while the combat profession fought each other.

Xiao Yan won and was proclaimed to be the best of the Spell Cultivators and Alchemists. Liu Yang was the best Array Master while Fei Hong was the best Body Cultivator.

The competition of the Weapon Cultivators took longer as they have more experts in their rank.

Currently, only Li Jie and Mu Yue were remaining undefeated. They went to the battle platform and faced each other.

Seeing the two on their positions, the teacher in charge then shouted, "The battle for the Best Weapon Cultivator will now begin!"

They dashed toward each other and initiated their 'Pulse Blade' technique. Their ranged attack met in the middle and collided. It caused a small explosion that hindered their view of their opponent.

"Flash Strike"

Li Jie's figure then came out of the remnants of the explosion and slashed forward. However, this did not hit Mu Yue as she already jumped when she saw the incoming Li Jie.

"Rupture Slash"

Li Jie jumped away from his current position. Mu Yue's sword hits the ground, creating a small crater.

Li Jie jumped back and attacked Mu Yue. They both exchange blows, most of the time blocking and dodging each other's attacks.

Both of them knew each other's skills. They were sparring with each other at least once a month to improve their sword skills.

Because of this, they both knew who was the stronger Sword Cultivator.

"I win," says Mu Yue as she points her sword to the neck of Li Jie who was currently lying on the floor. Li Jie already knew that he would lose the fight.

"Mu Yue won the fight! Earning the title of the Best Weapon Cultivator of the School."

Xiao Yan, Mu Yue, and Fei Hong did not need to fight for the ten spots. They were the best of their combat professions so the teachers decided to directly declare that they will have a spot each.

All of the students in the special class took a spot. The other students were not surprised at this. The same people have been dominating the monthly rankings for a while now.

The students who got the spots were then gathered by the teachers. They were informed that they will travel tomorrow. They were also told that they will be going to the place where the real Zongying was which can be considered as an incentive for them in winning the competition.

Mu Yue and Xiao Yan then went back to their room after the competition. Currently lying on the bed, Mu Yue asks, "Xiao Yan, do you know where the tournament will be held?"

"Last year, the tournament was held here in the Shi Zu Kingdom. The year before that was hosted by the Lan Yin Kingdom. There are only three kingdoms in this continent so the next one will be held in the capital of Tai Ming Kingdom." Xiao Yan replied.

"A capital... I wonder what it looks like. Hey Xiao Yan, do you think we will stand a chance against the students of the other schools?"

Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Of course! We two are geniuses and we already have an advantage in having a high cultivation level."
