Chapter 20: The Dance of Asura and Prodigy

As the resonance of battles past lingered in the arena, the momentous clash between the Asura Hand King, Leo, and the Prodigy Swordmaster, Shion, awaited its unfolding. The atmosphere, charged with the energy of preceding confrontations, hummed with anticipation.

Leo, adorned in the newly acquired Asura Body, radiated an indomitable presence. Shion, the Prodigy Swordmaster, stepped forth, his sword gleaming with the promise of a formidable challenge. The spectators leaned in, senses heightened as the duel commenced.

The first echoes of steel meeting Asura Body resonated through the arena. Shion's strikes, though swift and precise, encountered an impenetrable force in Leo's Asura Body. Leo, seemingly bored, taunted Shion with a low-toned question about a familiar name—Shai. Intrigued and unsettled, Shion questioned Leo's knowledge, demanding answers about his sister's whereabouts.

Leo, enigmatic as ever, offered no direct response. Shion, consumed by concern for his sister, witnessed an unexpected surge in his power. Lights danced upon his sword as a fusion of magic and swordsmanship manifested—a technique poised to test the mettle of the indomitable Asura Body.

A magical slash cleaved through the air, aimed at Leo with deadly precision. Instinctively, Leo maneuvered, avoiding the perilous strike. The arena became an arena of breathtaking combat, where the Asura Hand technique and celestial gloves intertwined to create an exhilarating spectacle.

Leo, harnessing 30% of his power, defied Shion's onslaught. The clash of elements, the celestial and the magical, painted a narrative of epic proportions. Leo, a master tactician, wove the intricate patterns of Asura Hand, deflecting Shion's strikes with calculated finesse.

In the climactic moment, Leo seized the opportunity presented by Shion's vulnerability. With a decisive move, he secured victory. The arena erupted in cheers, the East celebrating the triumph of its indomitable king.

As the dust settled, the revelation unfolded—Shion, the Prodigy Swordmaster, was Shai's brother. Bound by familial ties and love for his sister, Shion confessed to being under the Emperor's order to bring Shai back to the West. However, the depth of his affection surpassed imperial mandates, and he cherished the idea of Shai finding happiness in the East.

With the total victory of the East in the 7 Kings Tournament, Leo, accompanied by Shion, journeyed to reunite brother and sister. The siblings, Shion and Shai, embraced, tears bridging the years of separation. Shion, pledging secrecy to his sister, ensured her happiness, rejoicing in the presence of his newfound nephew, Leori.

With the delegates returning to the West, the East erupted in jubilation, celebrating not only the triumph in battle but also the reunification of a family. The arena, once a stage for intense conflicts, now witnessed the resilience of bonds that transcended empires and echoed with the resounding victory of the Asura Hand King and the Seven Kings of the East.
