Junior's Tournament (17)

Now the five slots were taken and only three remains. As said earlier, four students will fight while a lucky guy will be chosen to advance. The staffs then put their name to a paper, folded it, and put it in a box.

"Fei Hong" The staff read what was written on the paper that was picked.

Fei Hong rejoiced while the female Wind Spell Cultivator grimaced. Now she hopes that they won't meet in a fight. If they did, she will have Fei Hong wear his gear even if it gives a disadvantage to her.

The staffs then drew two papers from the box. These two will fight each other and those not mentioned will battle each other too. "Xiao Yan, Li Jie."

Li Jie heard this and decided to withdraw from the fight. He knows he won't win so no point in having Xiao Yan waste energy. He can fight all he wants when they were at school anyway.

This leaves the Sword Cultivator who lost against the lightning guy, fighting against the female Body Cultivator. The girl was strong but it was not enough to fight the other party. She tried her best and persisted, even her gauntlets shattered from the sword hits yet she still lost.

She was given 30 minutes to rest before having to fight again. This time, she was fighting against Li Jie. And again was defeated because of the difference of 1 level in cultivation, skills and not being able to recover fully.

With the rank 10 and 9 now known, it was the time to start the battles of the remaining 8 students.

"The battles of the remaining eight will just be fighting in pairs. The winners will advance, just like what happened in yesterday's battles. Similar format to determine the ranks of 1-4. The losers will do the same to determine the ranks of 5-8." The staff explained.

This time was the real deal. Lose and you will no longer have the chance to compete for the rank 1.

'Hopefully, I won't be paired to another schoolmate.' Xiao Yan thought as she already was matched twice against her schoolmates.

To her dread, she was matched against Fei Hong. Xiao Yan was pissed while the latter looked terrified because of the aura Xiao Yan was giving off.

Mu Yue was matched against the female Wind Spell Cultivator. The lightning guy was matched against the guy who is the rank 2 Weapon Cultivator (Sword wielder) . The last was the battle between the top 1 Body Cultivator and the remaining Sword Cultivator.

Xiao Yan went to the stage, raging because of being matched with a schoolmate. She was already fed up on fighting them, except when it's Mu Yue.

"Advance apology to you as I will use you to vent my anger on."

Fei Hong chuckled, "Haha, becoming a punching bag, greattt…"

He much wanted to surrender instantly, but when he saw Xiao Yan's gaze, he knows he can't escape his fate. Poor him, using up all his luck to be chosen to advance without a fight only to end up in misfortune. This however, made a particular female wind Spell Cultivator to feel pleased.

Xiao Yan knows how to hold back and lets him surrender when the spiritual energy that covers Fei Hong's body became dim and looks like it's collapse any time an attack landed on it.

"Mu Yue and Mei Rong, please proceed to the platform."

Mu Yue glances at Mei Rong who was currently facing her. Xiao Yan said to her that Wind Spell Cultivator's have fast casting speed but a lower damage compared to lightning and fire. However, wind element was still ranked the third in terms of highest damage dealt and she still have to avoid getting hit.

As usual, since the opponent was a spell cultivator, she launched 'Pulse Blade' as a distraction while she quickly closes the distance between them. Her opponent had to dodge the technique, slowing her casting by a little.

Mei Rong launched some 'Wind Blade' spells and only two landed on Mu Yue's body. It was then that Mu Yue closed the distance and attacked, as much as possible trying to interfere on Mei Rong's casting. Mu Yue chose to defeat her instead of knocking her out of the arena. One reason was that she possess lesser knockback capabilities and she wanted to stay far from the edge.
