Battles passed by. The outcomes were just as expected.
One after one, they continued with the battles. The way that they made the battles baffled me.
Some were lucky to get a free pass and continue on. But in my eyes, it was not lucky at all. Me, Ji Riyal, Li Huan, and a few other older disciples who were stronger than the others, were the only ones who received this lucky grace.
And now, fight after fight later, my half was reaching an end.
"Number twenty three, and number fifty six, enter the ring." the deacon called out.
Li Huan and I entered the ring, and faced each other.
"Junior sister, you and I both know the outcome of this fight. Do we really need to spend so much effort and time?" I looked at her.
"Yes. We know the outcome. But some part of me says that I still have a chance, and that part does not wish for me to give up. It is against my Dao heart to give up without fighting. Not when I know that I have a chance." she shook her head.
"I commend your will power, but there really is no chance. But I cannot dissuade you further. I only hope that you see when you are about to fall, and quickly make sure that you call out your defeat." I said, shaking my head.
"Let the fight begin." the deacon said.
Without even wasting a moment, I did what I had to do.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art, Fifth form! Blue dragon breaks through hell!" I shouted.
My spear raced towards her, and the dragon that manifested behind it roared at her. She pursed her lips and unleashed her own attack.
Her sword and a tiger behind it tried to fight back against my own. But the disparity between the foundation establishment and the Core Formation stages was too much.
I had much more Qi, and was stronger in general.
The dragon tore through her attack and approached her with a devastating speed.
But Li Huan still had no intention of giving up. She raised her sword at a last ditch attempt to defend.
My expression changed. I quickly held back my spear and shot forward disappeared from where I stood.
Li Huan looked around with confusion, trying to see where I was.
"You lost, junior sister. You lost the moment I unleashed that attack. If I had delayed any longer, then you would have taken a serious injury." my spear was inches from her neck.
"I... lost." she sighed as her sword dropped from her hand.
I bent forward and picked it up for her.
"You are a strong opponent, junior sister, and I have no doubt that you are a genius. But sometimes, you must know when to stop. That attack could have taken your life. If it had, then I would have no way to show my face to your father." I said, handing her sword to her.
"So that is all that you had running in your mind?" she looked at me and gave me a mischievous smile.
"Why would I have anything else in my mind?" I blushed. Who wouldn't if they faced such a beauty giving a smile like that.
"Liu Feng wins. He shall proceed to the final round." the deacon called out.
Both of us stepped down from the ring and looked at the two who were approaching to replace us.
There was Ji Riyal, and one person from the older batch of disciples. It was already surprising that there were a total of three new disciples who entered the top four. This was the only older disciple.
"It seems that I have no need to call upon the two of you to arrive. Enter the ring, and we can proceed to see the fight before the last." the deacon said.
I looked at the horizon. The sun was rising. The whole event had taken the entire day and night, but everyone did not even have an intention of stopping.
This was the advantage of being cultivators. They wouldn't feel exhaustion with just this. All the elders and the audience were still cheering, but the loudest were the older outer sect disciples. They needed at least one of theirs to enter the finals.
"Senior brother Jin! You can do this! You can defeat that upfront!" one of them shouted.
"How do they have the courage to say this after they saw all the matches of Ji Riyal destroying his opponent?" I wondered.
To their favor, Ji Riyal, me and the other two semi finalists only had three matches each. The free bypasses that we got allowed us to rest happily while others had to toil.
"Let the fight begin." the deacon said.
I popped a Qi restoration pill in my mouth and looked at what was happening leisurely.
The sword was unsheathed, and with each strike, this senior brother Jin was only getting pushed into a worse state.
He was not weak, but he was not strong enough to deal with the attacks that Ji Riyal was pushing out.
"The sword dao seems more terrifying than the spear dao. The spear felt like it could defend at least a little. But his sword is forgoing all defense to achieve the best attack possible!" I thought in my head.
The attacks were creating scars on the battle field. Only he and my first opponent, Ren Ming, were able to do that.
"All the others have not achieved nearly enough comprehension of Dao as these two have. They are truly terrifying." I noted.
I looked at the Senior brother Jin's sword. It was cracking. It was not a bad weapon, but it just couldn't withstand the barrage of attacks that Ji Riyal was just pushing out.
Crack!
I finally heard it. The sound of defeat.
"I give up. You are truly terrifying. I cannot match you at all. You are all monsters. Who would have thought that the new disciples would be so strong?" he gave up and threw his broken sword to the ground.
"Ji Riyal wins. And now, we shall give these two an hour to recuperate for the final battle."
