Embarrassment

Yu looked at lucifer she was surprised he was advancing so fast but she didn't want to fall behind she then said: "yes it should be fine for brother lucifer to join since any disciple of the divine core realm would be enough to beat you". The disciples of the heavenly tiger sect were so angry that they were shaking but none of them knew who Lucifer was. The elder of the demonic dragon sect didn't know who Lucifer was but because the grand elder's daughter Called this boy brother he must be quite special so the elder allowed him to fight. The challenge was a 1 on 1 fight between divine core realm disciples lucifer was the tenth disciple so he would fight last. Since everyone was there the fights could begin so everyone got away from the first 2 disciples and the elders counted down from 3 at the same time 3 2 1 fight. The fighter from his sect was a blue-haired boy with a huge greatsword in his hands and the fighter from the heavenly tiger sect was a boy with purple hair he had nothing just his uniform. Even though they were at the same realm it felt like the blue-haired boy would lose. They both charged at each other the boy for the demonic dragon sect raised his greatsword and with all his power he dropped the sword onto the purple-haired boy and all the boy did was look at the sword in disappointment he shook his head and said "maybe in 100 years you could beat me" the purple-haired boy then raised his hand and grabbed the greatsword stopping it instantly then a mouth grew on the boys hand it ate the sword whole then the purple-haired boy took a single step and he was in front of the blue-haired boy and punched him in the face the force of the punch broke his neck killing him instantly the purple-haired boy then walked behind the elder of the heavenly tiger sect who was currently laughing at the demonic dragon sects elder. All the disciples of the demonic dragon sect were furious but the elder just calmly said "you have won let's continue".

At this point, people started to hear about the Challenge so multiple disciples from all 4 sects gathered and watched. The demonic dragon sect won the next 3 fights but it was very close. Then the heavenly tiger sect dominated the next 3 fights. In the next fight, the demonic dragon sect won but it was still a very close game. Lucifer was fuming at this point literally smoke was coming out of his nostrils. The score was 4 to 4 and it was decided that no matter who won they would go to the tenth fight. The ninth fight had begun and Yu cheng was fighting a boy with black hair, the boy ran at Yu and the crowd of people watching were really excited to see what the daughter of the grand elder would do. Yu just stood still and looked at the boy he continued running at her and lightning gathered at his fist and he swung it at Yu she scoffed at the attack and in the palm of her hand, a white flame gathered she then flicked it at the boy and as the fist and flame collided the fire exploded with the cry of a phoenix. The boy screamed as he held his fist it was on fire and he tried to put it out he even put it in water but nothing stopped the spread of the fire he even jumped into a lake and the fire was put out but it would come right back just like a phoenix rising from ashes The boy was unable to stop the fire and died yu cheng hadn't even taken a single step. The elder of the heavenly tiger sect was furious but he had brought with him the son of the grand elder and he was only fighting against some early divine core cultivator. everyone walked away from Lucifer and his opponent a boy with white hair just like lucifer the boy looked at Lucifer and said: "I Arthur the grand elder's son swear on my father's life that the demonic dragon sect will be destroyed".

Lucifer just had the same plain expression but on the inside, he was furious 4 of his fellow disciples had died, and even though they were 1 point ahead the heavenly tiger sect looked far more impressive all of their victories were won by a landslide, and all but 1 of there loses were close or lost because they were unlucky. so Lucifer knew he had to embarrass them as much as possible. so he said, " Arthur I sincerely hope that you are like your father and sect leader because if you are then this will be an easy fight and I'm glad that swore on your father's life because even though I was already gonna make sure to kill your father you have made I more likely so I Lucifer Drolkard thank you". Arthur looked very angry but he just chuckled and got ready for the fight he had a beautiful sword in his hands but lucifer said that he was fine just like this he only had his uniform on he didn't even have hi bloodline fully activated he had no weapon or shield and as the elders counted down and said fight Yu was worried for lucifer she knew that he was strong and that he wouldn't have to use his full power for a fight like this but was still worried about him.

Arthur immediately charged at lucifer but he was still cautious and ready for any surprise attacks but noting happened Lucifer just stood there as Arthur ran at him and everyone gasped In shock as space slightly distorted around the sword and even though it was a tiny amount it showed that he was compatible with the space element. He swung his sword at Lucifer and he still did nothing and the crowd almost lost their mind when the sword cleanly hit lucifers neck and nothing happened, Arthur looked shocked but immediately reacted he stepped back and stabbed at lucifers heart and this time lucifer ducked under the attack and said: "are you done yet you almost cut my uniform". Lucifer has always had great vitality and now that he was at the divine core realm he was even stronger and Arthur was a fool to use the space element in front of lucifer since his practice of ghost slash he could use a tiny bit of the space element but even that tiny amount was enough for him to block the strikes because he wasn't actually standing still and not blocking the attacks he was just making tiny cracks in the void like when he uses ghost slash and the attacks hit the tiny cracks and take most of the power away since most of the power in the slash was coming from the space element and the cracks would take the space element away so he would be unharmed.

Arthur didn't think Lucifer was that strong he thought it was just a technique and that he needed to gins a way to break it so Arthur swang his sword with all of his might at lucifers head and Lucifer just opened his mouth the blade hit lucifer directly in the mouth and again nothing happened to the crowd lucifer looked like a God. Lucifer then bit down on the sword and it shattered he then looked at Arthur and while cruelly smiling he said words that the audience would never forget "My turn". Lucifer's qi then exploded out of him and everyone within the divine core realm except for Yu and the half step martial core elders felt a horrible pressure from lucifer anyone below the high divine core realm was forced to kneel they all felt hopeless some started crying Arthur however was still standing lucifer then casually acted like he pulled his sword out his void snake bag but in reality, he just summoned the beast soul and as Arthur pulled out another sword lucifer used ghost slash. Lucifer's attacks were so fast that Arthur struggled to see them clearly he swung his sword to block it but his sword hit nothing and Lucifer's sword cut Arthur's hand off and before Arthur could scream the other strikes came and Lucifer wasn't slowing down he was speeding up Arthur had enough time to pull out a shield with various engravings on it and when the swords were gonna hit the shield they went right through it and sliced Arthturs other hand off then his arm and then his legs then lucifer did the last downward strike and even though Arthur yelled out that he was sorry the blade still slammed into him cutting what was left of him in half Lucifer stood in the mess of limbs and blood and was perfectly clean he made sure nothing messed up the new uniform he didn't want it to get dirty on the first day.

He then turned around to look at the group of heavenly tiger sect disciples and the elder and said "the four of you are lucky that you are still alive don't let me ever find you in public. As for you elder, I hope that you can tell tiger king that this is only the beginning and the debt has not been repaid and tell him that the next time he tries to harm Yu cheng or any of my friends it'll be him on the ground In pieces" lucifer then walked right next to Yu she looked at lucifer and whispered " thanks for saving me again but next time something bad happens I'll save you".

Lucifer grinned and thought about how far he had came in such a short amount of time he used to only have Sarah but now he had started making friends and getting stronger but it wasint enough he has a long path ahead of him but for now lucifer just wanted to live in the moment. So he just whispered " thanks but I'll do my best to make sure that I won't need to be saved".
