Two days later,
In an arena much like the one that Liu Feng had been in for the pill gathering, people stuffed each other trying to find a seat for the martial gathering that was underway.
In a pill gathering, the only ones interested would be alchemists, who would try and learn from the experience. And alchemists were far and few, with only the ones with talent in alchemy becoming alchemists.
But a martial gathering was different. In a martial gathering, cultivators, alchemists, as well as normal mortals wanted to witness who was the strongest. Strength and power spoke a universal language that everyone understood.
It was only understandable that people were fighting for the best seats. They wanted to witness the fights that no one would be able to see elsewhere. Xiantian experts did not fight against each other just every day.
Liu Feng and Liu Man were calmly sitting in the designated spot for the participants from the White Tiger Cave. There were dozens more sitting alongside them, but all of them looked at the two newcomers with hostile faces.
They just received information that two people they had never heard of were going to take two coveted spots of the martial gathering, two spots that they fought so hard to earn, and that these two were supposed to be treated like guests.
It was easy to assume that they were the sons of a bigshot, and were given preferential treatment. That was exactly what these disciples thought.
And to think that they had to be treated like guests! No way was that going to happen. Why would anyone treat the arrogant young masters who took their fellow brother's spots as guests?
Seeing those looks of disgust on the disciples, Liu Feng shook his head. He empathized with the disciples. He would have felt it unjust as well. But this was a world where the strong ruled. And now, he was the bigger fish.
The disciples whispered between themselves, but at the cultivation of Liu Feng, he could easily hear what they were saying, even if he didn't want to.
Meanwhile, someone entered the center of the stage. He looked at all of the audience, and the participants.
"Welcome to the martial gathering, the event that happens once every fifty years. As all of you know, this is the chance for you to obtain an invaluable boundary stone that will allow you to leave the world and explore the vast one outside!" the man said.
The audience became silent, and started at him with bated breaths. They couldn't fight for this boundary stone, but they sure could see who would win.
"Anyone can enter the stage. Anyone can challenge the one on the stage. As long as anyone gains twenty consecutive wins, he or she will obtain a boundary stone. Now, who will be the first one on the stage?" the man looked at the participants and smiled.
Now, it was just a matter of who was the fastest. Who would want to become the first one on the stage and try to get the twenty wins before the stronger ones stepped in?
Liu Feng smiled. If he wanted, then he could enter the stage, but he already scanned every participant here with his divine sense. Not a single one was beyond the Xiantian realm.
He did not even need to put any effort into this battle.
"Cao Fang, requesting for pointers!" a bald, rugged man appeared on the stage.
This was the fastest out of all the ones who moved first. Although it was not confirmed that he was the fastest among all of them, he was probably in the top five, considering the second person who appeared on the stage was a full two seconds late.
"Zhuan Go, requesting for pointers." the second man said. He looked like he just came here from training. His entire brow was filled with sweat, and his body glistened in the sun.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let the battle, begin!" the announcer nodded, and he jumped off the stage.
Zhuan Go and Cao Fang faced each other. One of them had a staff in his hands, while the latter had a sword. Zhuan Go rushed towards Cao Fang and his staff, as tall as he was, reached forward, almost reaching Cao Fang.
But Cao Fang was swift, and he dodged the attack, becoming a sharp light, dashing towards Zhaun Go's back.
Zhuan Go quickly moved his staff the intercept the incoming attack. His staff trembled, but Cao Fang retreated.
"Blood Sated Sword!"Cao Fang shouted, and his sword glowed with a red hue. Cao Fang released a red sword light towards Zhuan Go, and looking at it, Liu Feng nodded with some respect.
"Sword Dao. But for some reason, it feels so forceful. Although it is stronger than Ji Riyal's, it feels like it could be better." Liu Feng wondered.
The battle continued for a few minutes. They ere evenly matched, but this was going to be a battle of proficiency. The attacks of Cao Fang were doing damage, while all of Zhuan Go's attacks were avoided.
Zhuan Go stopped, and he coughed out blood.
"You are the better man, brother Fang. I guess I am inferior to you." he said, and retreated from the stage.
"Cao Fang wins! That is one win closer to victory. Now who shall enter the stage?" the announcer said.
Liu Feng felt a sharp gust of wind from right next to him. He looked to the side, and to his surprise, Liu Man was no longer there.
Looking at the stage once more, he saw that Liu Man appeared there.
"Come at me. I have no time for this charade." Liu Man said coldly.
"He went there already? That feels hasty. I thought that he would wait for a while. But it makes sense. I mean, he wants to get out of here fast. I wonder why." Liu Feng wondered, but he stayed. He wanted to fight Liu Man, but he couldn't afford to lose yet.
