CHAPTER 33 - TIANYIN WORLD #2
The atmosphere in the Tianyin World arena grew more intense. After several exciting matches, it was now time for the disciples of the Flower Mountain Sect and the Rolls Tiger Sect to face off. These two sects were famous not only for their dazzling techniques but also for the outstanding skills of their disciples.
Participants:
1. Xian Hua (Disciple of So Lin He, expert in illusion and dream techniques)
2. Jiang Feng (Disciple of So Lin He, a swift warrior with immense physical strength)
3. Li Xiu (Disciple of So Lin He, an energy control expert capable of redirecting attacks)
4. Ling Yan (Disciple of Pen Aiyu, agile and deadly with acrobatic movements)
5. Xu Mei (Disciple of Pen Aiyu, a warrior skilled in long-range attacks and magic)
6. Zhao Wei (Disciple of Pen Aiyu, a sword expert with incredible speed)
On the Flower Mountain side, Xian Hua led with his impressive illusion techniques. On the Rolls Tiger side, Ling Yan, Xu Mei, and Zhao Wei prepared to give a fierce fight. These three disciples were known for their agility, long-range attacks, and exceptional swordsmanship.
The battle began.

First Match: Xian Hua (Flower Mountain Sect) vs Ling Yan (Rolls Tiger Sect)
Xian Hua, with a sly smile on his face, activated his illusion technique, creating multiple shadow copies of himself.
"You'll never win against my illusions," he said confidently.
Ling Yan laughed lightly, dodging each shadow with ease.
"Illusions? I prefer reality. You'll see just how fast I really am!" she shouted as she leapt into the air with astounding agility.
Xian Hua created even more shadows to try and confuse his opponent. But Ling Yan moved swiftly, slicing through each illusion until she finally found the real Xian Hua.
"Surprised?" she said as she struck with her sword.
Xian Hua staggered back, struggling to keep up with Ling Yan's incredible speed.
"You're... so fast!" he gasped, but before he could react, Ling Yan leapt again and delivered a final, decisive slash.
Xian Hua fell to the ground, defeated.

Second Match: Jiang Feng (Flower Mountain Sect) vs Xu Mei (Rolls Tiger Sect)
Jiang Feng charged in with brutal force, his fists swinging with immense power.
"You can't run from my attacks, Xu Mei!" he roared.
Xu Mei dodged gracefully, launching long-range magic attacks to counter Jiang Feng's strength.
"I don't need to get close to defeat you," she replied calmly, casting spells that bounced unpredictably toward him.
Jiang Feng ran fast, trying to evade the magic attacks coming from all directions.
"Magic? That's no big deal!" he declared, leaping high into the air to land a crushing blow.
But Xu Mei was ready. She launched an energy orb that absorbed the impact and bounced his strength back at him. Jiang Feng crashed to the ground, unable to dodge.
"Too fast for you," Xu Mei said with a faint smile.

Third Match: Li Xiu (Flower Mountain Sect) vs Zhao Wei (Rolls Tiger Sect)
Li Xiu, master of energy control, manipulated the air around the arena.
"You won't be able to land a hit on me, Zhao Wei," he declared in a deep voice.
Zhao Wei, unfazed, replied,
"I don't need to dodge—I'll defeat you with speed!" He darted forward, slicing through the air with incredible quickness.
Li Xiu created energy waves to repel Zhao Wei's strikes.
"You're fast, but your attacks will never reach me," he said, shifting energy fields to block the sword.
Yet Zhao Wei didn't back down. He continued attacking relentlessly until he found a small opening in Li Xiu's defense.
"I predicted this!" Zhao Wei shouted and, with one swift strike, defeated Li Xiu.

After the matches ended, the disciples of the Rolls Tiger Sect smiled in victory, while those from the Flower Mountain Sect looked exhausted. Although Pen Aiyu's sect had won, the battles were truly impressive.
In the VIP seats, Chen Tiamo of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect couldn't hide his anguish after watching his sect's defeat.
"Argh! How could we lose to them? The Pen Aiyu Sect is so strong!" Chen Tiamo groaned, covering his face with his hand.
Da Zhong of the Water Star Sect remained calm.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, Tiamo. Every match is a lesson."
Mo Tian, watching from the VIP section with Cheon Ji, chuckled.
"This isn't just about winning or losing. What matters is how they all grow."
Cheon Ji nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, Mo Tian. What matters most is their journey."
The two sat quietly for a moment as the final match between the Flower Mountain and Rolls Tiger disciples reached its climax.
Mo Tian smiled slightly, eyes focused on the rapid movements in the arena.
"It seems the Rolls Tiger disciples have the upper hand in agility and strategy. Just look at Xu Mei—she's manipulating the situation perfectly."
Cheon Ji, usually composed and calculating, gave a slight nod.
"Indeed. Xu Mei knows when to move and when to hold back. Agility was the key to victory this time."
Mo Tian glanced at the restless Chen Tiamo.
"Tiamo doesn't seem too happy about this outcome. But I think this is still just the beginning of their journey."
Cheon Ji looked toward Mo Tian, his expression serious.
"Tiamo is ambitious, which sometimes makes him emotional. But he must learn that this is part of the process. These matches are meant to help them learn and grow."
Mo Tian shrugged, looking relaxed despite the thrilling battles.
"Yeah, that's true. Sometimes, losing gives them a clearer view of what needs to be improved. Every defeat brings them closer to the next victory."
Cheon Ji laughed softly, his voice calm but full of meaning.
"Actually, defeat is very important. Only by facing it can they understand how far they can grow. What matters now is how they'll respond after this."
Mo Tian glanced at Cheon Ji, eyes glinting with spirit.
"You're right. In this world, there's nothing more valuable than experience. Watching them grow is far more interesting than watching easy victories."
Cheon Ji smiled faintly, his gaze still fixed on the arena.
"That goes for us too, Mo Tian. We've both faced defeats. And those defeats made us stronger."
Mo Tian chuckled, his smile widening.
"Ah, that's true. We may be sitting here judging, but we both know what it means to fight on the battlefield."
He turned his gaze back to the arena, watching the disciples of Pen Aiyu celebrate their victory.
"I wonder, Cheon Ji... who will be the last one standing in this Tianyin World?"
Cheon Ji answered in a near whisper, filled with deep confidence:
"Those who can learn from every experience—both victory and defeat—will be the true winners."
Mo Tian simply smiled.
