Chapter 34: Grand Entrance(?) (Part 1)
"Oii, I am talking to you." Huo Wu said coldly.
"...." Nian Zhen gave a black glance to Huo Wu. Not wanting to deal with this woman, Nian Zhen walked forward, imagining his grand entrance. (AN: don't know if I mentioned this but Nian Zhen is wearing the robe given by his clones now, due to which they cannot recognize that he is the Northern Berserker.)
*Boom*
A flaming punch hit Nian Zhen all of a sudden. Huo Wu didn't like it when someone acted arrogant or ignorant of her. A grin flashed on her pretty face, thinking she had hit Nian Zhen.
The next moment, she flew. Nian Zhen had caught her attack by his palm. After using his eyes' repulsive force, Huo Wu flew off towards a nearby house.
Nian Zhen was being patient but this girl crossed the line.
"Girl, I was being kind and gentle before, but now...Hmph." Nian Zhen said, before disappearing into the crowd.
"Sister? Are you alright?" Asked Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu's brother.
"Shut up!! Where is he?" Huo Wu shouted, yet she was unable to stand up due to the impact. Even though Nian Zhen implied he was not being gentle, except for some numbness in her leg, Huo Wu was alright.
"H-He is gone. He just disappeared." said Huo Yun fearfully.
"Damn!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the inn, Nian Zhen was planning what to do tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day, Nian Zhen planned to reveal that he was really the master of Chi Yue. Not Nian Zhen himself but Hongchen, the Northern Berserker.
[Host, that grin...please stop.]
"You don't know how I am feeling right now, Enron. I am unable to hide my excitement thinking how the faces of all those old men will be. Hahaha." Nian Zhen said to Enron, unable to hold his laughter.
"Last to enter is the Shrek Academy team. Shrek Academy, originally Blue Tyrant Academy, changed its name to Shrek one year ago. Ahem, very p-pleasing and nice attire, altogether eleven competing students. Their sign up slogan is: Unchallenged champions. It is Expressive but can they live up to their slogan?"
Hearing the Commentator's words, the spectators in the stands roared with laughter, mocking tones rising and falling in succession.
"Fuck, I can't stand it." As Dai Mubai walked forward, he clenched his fist. The remaining 10 people walking behind him were also having the same feeling.
"Don't worry, We will show them." Tang San sighed as he patted Dai Mubai's shoulder.
Finally all the teams had entered the arena, the Shrek Academy group stood furthest back.
They didn't pay any attention to the jeers, and constantly observed their surroundings. This Great Spirit Arena was undoubtedly the biggest they had ever seen. Big enough to hold eighty thousand spectators, even though it was morning, the specially suspended magic tool illumination didn't only seem lavish, but still gave a feeling of vast space.
Tang San's gaze fell on the VIP platform where he unexpectedly saw a few acquaintances. One of them was the one who originally drove them away from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, prince Xue Xing, and also Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's three committee members.
They all sat in the second row of the VIP seats, and in the first row were only three people.
The man in the middle wore gold and red robes, on his head a brilliant gold crown, and though apparently a bit older than prince Xue Xing, they still resembled one another.
Due to this Tang San could guess this man's identity. He was undoubtedly the Heaven Dou Empire's emperor, Xue Ye.
Sitting to his left was an old man even older than him. Dressed entirely in red robes, wearing a platinum hat, was the Spirit Halls Platinum Bishop. The person on the emperor's right was Ning Rongrong's father, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's master, Ning Fengzhi.
At this moment, the commentator suddenly said, "Now, please welcome his majesty, the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor to say a few words."
A thunderous applause sounded around the arena. The old man stood up, waving his arms at his people, implying them to stay silent.
The Emperor had a forced smile on his face, as if he didn't want this tournament to happen. After speaking a few words, Xue Ye declared the tournament to officially start as of now.
After that Ning Fengzhi stood up, greeting the audience and telling them, "Except for the imperial academy, I am also optimistic about one another. Though I won't say who it is. Let it be the suspense and climax for this tournament."
After putting the crowd into discussions and confusion, Ning Fengzhi sat down, giving a faint glance to the Shrek seven devils.
"Now, I would like to invite, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, Lord Sala-"
*Boom*
A large explosion occurred near the west gate of the Heaven Dou Arena. Cries were heard as the spectators near the western gate were blown off.
"Wh-what is happening." Said Oscar, looking at the west gate vigilantly.
Looking towards the dust clouds, everyone saw 7 figures standing in the air.
"W-wait, aren't those the 6 most wanted criminals right now? Who is the one in front of them?" Said one of the spectators. The people who heard him started to share this info with each other, immediately spreading around the Arena.
What the people saw was exactly how the 6 clones of Nian Zhen were depicted. One had long blonde hair, tied in a ponytail while half of his face was covered by his hair.
Another had grey short hair, neatly combed towards the back. His robe only covered half of his upper body. He held a scythe with three red blades.
The 3rd one had grey hair, with green irides which contained no pupils but had a red layer around it. He wore a black mask covering his mouth.
The 4th one had a medium styled black hair, with two red eyes containing three black red dots in a single orbit. Nian Zhen was able to give his clone his Samsara Eye's pre-evolution form due to which this clone contained this.
After constant experiments, he was even able to give his clones their own unique ability, which resulted in his 'Six Path Clone' technique gaining a new ability allowing his clones to get any ability as long as that technique is possible to exist.
The 5th clone had bluish pale skin, with gills like structure below his small and white eye. The man held a broad sword covered in white clothes.
The 6th clone had blue hair, with a blue rose on her head and a grey piercing below her lips. She had dark orange eyes.
Nian Zhen had made these clones exactly similar to 6 members of the 'Akatsuki', Deidara, Hidan, Kakuza, Itachi, Kisame, Konan, while giving them their unique abilities.
Each clone was now wearing the robe especially made for them. Looking at Nian Zhen, now dressed up as Hongchen was wearing the robe that was specifically made for him.
Slowly walking towards the center of the arena, Nian Zhen opened his mouth.
"Why did I not get an invitation?"
