26. Time to get serious

Now that they were all filled up and pleased, it was time to cultivate.

From cultivating with a martial saint and three grandmasters, Ace already reached the middle of the grandmaster realm and is close to the late stage.

But he knew that even with his absurd amount of qi storage and peerless techniques, in reality, against a genius of the same stage, he would struggle.

While he has some experience against beasts, fighting against a human isn't the same.

unintelligent beasts, and humans using actual techniques and schemes to kill you are different.

So he talked about it to Sun.

.

.

.

It has now been 8 months since he met his four women and settled down in the Red Rose Sect.

In these 8 months, training was what it was all about for Ace.

After talking about his experience problem with Sun, she, as the sect master, allowed Ace to battle with the disciples of the sect.

The disciples, all women, hearing about how the sect master made such exceptions to a man, and hearing rumours about how handsome he was, all wanted to see him for themselves.

Those on missions came back, and those in seclusion came out.

In these months, they dubbed the daily fights Ace had as 'The Fiend's Awakening'.

You might wonder why such a weird name for fights, well it is because while Feng struggled quite a bit at first against disciples of the same realm as him, he quickly gained experience and could battle toe to toe to older disciples of the martial lord realm.

Like the awakening of a monster in disguise, he defeated all odds and crushed almost every disciple.

The only people that could still defeat him were the core disciples that reached the top of the martial lord realm and of course, the elders who were at the martial ancestor realms.

As for the fiend part, well it's because after he became stronger and could crush almost everybody, like a demon, he groped the disciples, sometimes the butt, sometimes the breasts in the middle of the fight, teasing and deconcentrating the girls mid-fight.

The fights became such a big sensation in the sect, that almost no disciples went on missions anymore, but stayed in the sect to watch and participate in the fights.

Betting platforms came to light as people bet who would win and who would lose, but also which part of the body Ace would grope mid-fight.

At first, the elders weren't too happy because no one was going out anymore, they soon stopped caring and were actually grateful, because a 10-year-old, super handsome man crushing them so easily lit the flames of training in them and everyone started training even harder to either take back the dignity they lost getting groped mid-fight, or catch the attention of a sect-acclaimed future monster.

And this dedication from the disciples to train harder and beat him was good, since at the same time as the martial competition where Ace will compete, other competitions between sects from all over the empire happened, ranking sects in terms of power.

The Red Rose Sect, which is one of the three hegemons of the region, is ranked 15th out of thousands of sects in the empire.

.

.

.

In these months, Ace managed to learn the strength part of the techniques, making him well-versed in both the speed and strength parts of the immortal technique.

After months of training, he can now switch between the two mid-fight and use the ones he needs depending on the situation of the fight.

In addition, he reached the edge of the martial grandmaster realm and was on the verge of being a martial lord.

But in actuality, he could've advanced months ago but stopped himself to strengthen and polish his foundation that was quite weak from all the advancement without staying in one realm for long.

.

.

.

Today was a special fight.

The whole sect was present to watch it.

It was the fight between Ace and Alice, the strongest core disciple of the sect. At 24 years old, she was a martial lord realm cultivator on the verge of advancing to the martial ancestor realm.

She was a genius worthy of having renowned in the whole empire but decided to stay in the Red Rose Sect since she grew up there, adopted by one of the elders.

And today, she was fighting against a monster amongst monsters that suddenly appeared in the sect one day accompanied by the three flowers.

"I admit that you are strong, and are definitely more talented than me. Just give yourself a couple of years and you'll be stronger than me, why are you so hell-bent on battling me right now?" Alice asked.

"Because I learned that fighting is fun, especially stronger opponents, but the real reason is that to get stronger, I need to fight these stronger opponents constantly and learn from my defeats," Ace responded truthfully.

"Well, suit yourself, I won't go easy on you." Alice followed.

"Of course, I hope you don't" He said with a dashing smile that made a lot of disciples watching the fight in the stands of the arena blush.

"Alright, are you both ready?" The elder responsible for the arena fights asked.

""Yes"" They both responded at the same time.

"Alright, 3, 2, 1, fight!" The elder said without wasting time.
