25 Clash

Jane who's smile got bigger as their auras rose and clashed. She finally moved, she rose her axe above her head. The pressure from the axe intent started to overwhelm the sword intent in the air. The smile on Jane's face almost became a bit crazed.

The Japanese woman was feeling the full force of the axe intent from Jane. She was slowly beginning to panic. Even though their cultivation base wasn't used, the Japanese woman was being heavily pressured with only their intents.

Jane suddenly kicked the ground and it looked like she just glided over the ground towards the Japanese woman. Jane's axe came down. The woman flinched and closed her eyes from fright. She was certain that she was going to die. Her life flashed before her eyes.

Gushiken Kairy, that is the name of the Japanese woman. 'Gushiken' meaning strong willed. All her family members are strong willed. Her parents gave her the name 'Kairy' meaning 'sea'. Boundless, stretching further than one can see, always moving. Having a passion for kendo a sword art in Japan. She was always training and practicing her forms.

When cultivation was introduced into the world she had the fortune of having a humanoid water attributed panther as her entity. As her name implies, sea, she has a very high affinity to water. Even though everyone feels that the world will end when the time is up for the barrier to disappear.

She never stopped training her swordsmanship. Fighting is her life she doesn't want to give that up. Luckily when she decided to join the military and did the weapon aptitude test, she got a katana.

When she formed her soul armament, her soul formed a katana too.

A sudden surge of energy came from Kairy. At the last moment Kairy lowered her body while placing her katana with a little angle above her head. Jane's axe ran along the blade of Kairy. Jane was surprised because she saw Kairy crumble in front of her just a second ago. She wanted to retract her axe but then the undulations from Kairy changed and Jane knew she could continue with the strike.

Both Jane and Kairy retreated a few steps back. Two beauties facing off, one with a battle crazed expression and the other a serene expression. The two faced off for a solid 10 seconds when Jane made the first move again. She ran towards Kairy and swung down again.

Kairy who was prepared this time evaded the axe by a hair's width. Kairy slashed diagonally down to Jane. Jane let herself fall to the side to avoid being sliced into two. Jane put her free hand on the ground and made a weird cartwheel movement to get some distance from Kairy.

Kairy got in the kendo stance and closed her eyes. Kairy's undulations became stronger and a transformation appeared. Kairy's nails grew into claws, she got a tail and when she opened her eyes, her eyes became slits. A low growl came from Kairy.

"So, you have a peak entity." Jane suddenly said. The humans have put the entities into categories. From low to supreme. In order: low, middle, high, peak and supreme. A low entity gives some power and are unattributed animals mostly. They don't give changes to your appearance and can't give manuals to the host. Also, they can't communicate with the host. Except for the time the world changed.

A middle entity is the same, but the only difference is that the entity gives a small attribute to a single kind of qi. A high entity has in comparison to middle entity, a strong attribute to a certain qi. Can appear in a humanoid and animal form.

A peak entity has in comparison to a high entity, communication skills to the host and can give one manual. And a supreme can give two or more manuals and an even higher affinity to a certain qi.

Water qi came from Kairy and it coated her katana giving it a blue glow. Kairy explodes in power and pounces to Jane. A blue streak comes from Kairy's katana. Jane sees her clearly coming and dodges to the left and gives a left hook towards Kairy. The punch connects and Kairy staggers back. She didn't expect Jane's punch and it was way too fast to react.

Jane who one upped Kairy didn't let this chance slide. She chased after Kairy and punched and slashed. Kairy who trained her whole life to fight had amazing battle senses was doing a good job in dodging. When Jane made a powerful horizontal slash to Kairy's neck. Kairy ducked down but was met with Jane's knee.

Jane fainted to slash her neck, but she actually kneed forward. Blood spurted from Kairy's nose. Tears blurred her vision. 'She definitely is a body cultivator.' Kairy thought to herself. Jane saw Kairy retreating and knew her senses were obstructed. Jane hauled her axe back and qi started to come out her body.

The temperature was starting to rise. It was not fire qi but lightning qi. Jane's figure blurred and disappeared. A moment later she was behind Kairy with the axe at her throat. "Corporal Gabriel won!" The voice of Commander Carter reverberated through the arena.

Jane backed off of Kairy and Kairy turned around. Jane bowed to her and went back to the side of the arena. Everyone on the side lines followed her with wide eyes and surprised expressions. Kairy bowed back and also returned to the side lines.

"As expected, if I can't see through them, the person is exceptional." The teenage girl says when see saw Jane pouring out qi. The two adults frowned but did not look away from the fight. When they saw Jane disappear and reappear behind Kairy, they had a surprised expression. They both looked at the girl. "If we don't get her, we can't claim we have the elite of the elite." The first adult stated.

Jane wasn't that interested in the fights. She just returned to her thoughts when she came back to the side lines. Some of her colleagues and foreign colleagues kept taking glances at her, but she didn't notice. Or she did, but just ignored it.

In another room with a one-way window General Drake was standing in front of the window gazing to Jane with an emotion in his eyes that he shouldn't have, but when found out would invite trouble. He had a smile on his face and when he saw Jane walking back to the side lines when she won. He whispered. "That's my girl." His eyes widen and a complicated expression found itself on his face. He turned and walked out the room off to his office.

Later that evening just when Jane wanted to get dinner. She got a message from General Drake, saying. 'Some important people from the HQ are here. They want to talk to you. Tomorrow morning at 7.30 AM at my office.' Jane replied that she will be there. She wondered what people from the HQ wanted from her.
