I coughed a little. It had been a few minutes since I was backed into corner and Liu Xin unleashed a barrage of attacks. It was just impossible to defend completely. A few slipped past my defense, and my skin started to tear. I had a strong suspicion that his weapon was somehow much better than mine, because my spear was also getting chipped away at. If it got any more blunt, I could very well throw the game away right now.
I shook my head and steeled myself.
Blue Dragon Spear Art, Fourth Strike!
The third strike was not efficient. It was only for crowd control. Right now, I needed to take care of him with the strongest attack that I knew. I needed to use the fourth strike. After weeks of painstaking practice, and following the shadow of the system, I was able to master the fourth strike of the Blue Dragon Spear Art.
It was different. Unlike other attacks prior, the fourth strike bordered on the impossible and the mystical. While it was a cultivation world, the fact that I could use my spear as a dragon was beyond me.
I pulled back my spear and looked at him. He did not even have a scratch on his face. He smiled as he looked at me with those eyes of contempt. Like he had already won the match. That pompous attitude gave me all the motivation I needed. A huge wave of Qi left my dantian and raced through to the spear. I raised the spear high and did the most stupid thing possible if there was no context.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art, Fourth form! Divinity Reborn! Blue Dragon sails through the heavens!" I shouted out loud. The shouting part was very clearly engraved in my memories of the skill. I did not understand it, but I had to follow it.
The spear growled. I let go of the spear, and it was like the spear had a mind of its own. Around the spear, my Qi formed a protective layer around it, giving it the shape of a Blue Dragon. The dragon roared, and even I suddenly knelt at the immense pressure that my own attack gave me. I looked in the other direction, and Liu Xin was also kneeling. He could not handle the pressure that the spear gave him. The dragon roared at him as it flew towards his head.
Liu Xin could not even raise his sword. He was incapacitated. He looked up with a different face now. One of fear. If this attack connected, then he would probably lose his life.
At that exact moment, I felt that the spear connected. Liu Xin was no longer visible. Neither was the spear. At the point of contact, all I could see was a dust cloud. But it did not hit Liu Xin. I knew that. The spear hit something hard. I could feel it, even though I no longer held it. I looked there with curiosity, flying towards the spear.
The dust settled, and I saw what happened. Liu Xin was still on the ground, stupefied, and the judge was holding the spear in his hands. But the judge was not unscathed. Drops of blood fell from his hands to the ground. He looked at me with anger, and shock.
"You fool! How dare you release such a killing strike against a peer?! You must be punished for this insolence!" the judge shouted.
I smiled. Raising my voice so that everyone could hear it, I said, "But senior, Liu Xin had told me from the beginning that he was much more powerful than me. Even during the match, he said that I could not hold a candle against him. I had no choice but to use my strongest attack, and when I used that, he could not even defend. How was I to know that he was all talk and no action?"
The judge's mouth twitched. He was about to say something, when I saw a cloak. A cloak flying through the wind as someone landed on the ring. The judge immediately knelt down. I looked up to see who it was. It was my grandfather, Liu Hong!
I knelt down immediately.
"Clan master!" the elders, and the rest of the Liu family watching from the sidelines knelt down. freeweb novel.com
"I was just casually looking at what the future of the clan was, and it looks like there is so much happening here. To think that my two grandchildren were so talented! Liu Feng, your spear is just wonderful. I must truly have a conversation with you about the spear art that you have used that stunned us all. It is quite apparent that he is the winner of the Liu Family gathering. That is without question. It has been a good show that you have put for all of us. Now, Liu Feng, Liu Qian, follow me." he said as he disappeared immediately.
I just stood there, stunned. I had to explain to him how I came across this art now? This wasn't something that I was prepared for! Now, I had to unravel another story!
"What are you doing, Feng'er? Come on. We have to go! Father will kill me if I bring you any later." I heard my father shout at me from the sidelines.
I turned around and nodded to my father. As I walked towards him, I looked back. Liu Xin was still on the ground, with his eyes paralyzed with fear. I looked at Liu Kun, who had gotten to the side of Liu Xin, trying to nudge him awake.
Liu Kun saw me looking at him and scowled. I smiled back. This time, I was the one with the smile of contempt.
