《Transmigrating Upgrade Specialist》Chapter 54 - Counties Gathering Competition Starts (4)
Advertisement
"The third brother!" his two other senior brothers called the former as they were worried if he was injured in that attack, but Zhang Wu Ji's happiness comes a little too early. Perhaps due to his unending feat of defeating cultivators few stages above him give him this confidence, but sometimes, the truth is very difficult to bear, especially when it came back to his own face.
Zhang Wu Ji's mere 3rd Stage Cultivation strength may able to defeat those even from the 8th Stage or 9th, but that was when it was applied on enemies with shallow cultivation, which allows him to defeat them easily without putting up too much effort. Unfortunately, when it was used to fight against those in their 9th stage of Inner Qi Fighter, added with the depth of their cultivation due to the background of their sect, how can that be successful?
Although Zhang Wu Ji possesses the strength to overcome even the cultivators like Elder Yang in his 15th Stage of Inner Qi Warrior, does this means those disciples in the five upper counties possess strength below him?
NO!
When fighting against those with capability like himself, how can he win against them? If he wasn't defeated in a single strike, that's already giving him too many paths to escape from shame.
"You underestimate me too much!" the third disciple from the Blood Art Sect ignites the Strand of Fighter Qi in his body and explodes it, pushing Zhang Wu Ji about ten steps backward. Although the explosion of Fighter Qi is not fatal, the disturbance it gave Zhang Wu Ji allows the opponent to charge forward and gave Zhang Wu Ji a direct hit.
"Fifth Starburst! The explosion of his sudden increment in strength shocks everyone present in the Heavenly Square, stunning even the Headmaster of the Heavenly Sword Sect, his Master Mother, Zhang Wu Yuan, and his teacher. In the eyes of every senior present in this Square, which one of them was lack of martial knowledge, especially towards Seven Star Sect's main Cultivation Manual, the Seven Star Burst Manual!
Furthermore, this wasn't the end of his surprise!
Zhang Wu Ji took a Fighter Chasing Dan +6 in his pouch, and pops it into his mouth, in that instant, he received an increase of 26 strands of Fighter Qi in his cultivation, making his overall Strands of Fighter Qi reaching 296 strands, a hint further to enter the 4th Stage!
The recovery of his Strands if Fighter Qi allows Zhang Wu Ji to executes his next attack, which the youth put all his might to activate the fourth star from the Seven Star Sword Art;
Stars from Four Direction!
The Longfeng Jade Ruler in his hand transformed into four stars that strike at his opponent with all his might, which gave the second shock to everyone present. If a mere 3rd Stage Inner Qi Fighter can create such a threat at somebody six levels above him, what will happen if he was the one six level higher?
He will clear all the obstructions without even bothering to look at them! The attack quickly caught his opponent off guard, where one of the strikes hits him, and the remaining three strikes were blocked by the remaining two senior brothers of his opponent! They took a move and strikes at the exhausted Zhang Wu Ji to claim back some of their dignity.
But at that sudden moment, Zhang Wu Ji vanished. His second brother that trying to help end up sending his sword for naught. The attack missed but it was the starting of their nightmare! Thinking about what happened last time in the Lower Counties Battle Royale, this trick destroys all his opponent in a single breath!

"Aargh!" the two explodes their Fighter Qi by their side to removes the possibility, but it was affecting nothing but air! The real culprit that made them behave in this manner is still invisible from their sight! They scan their surroundings, only to notice that the youth is about twenty steps away from them, meditating to recover his exhausted Qi inside his body.
"Master!" Zhang Wu Yuan lost his calmness, and plead for his master's approval.
"Wait... He still keeping some trump cards. Look at his pair of eyes." Zhao Yun whispers his words in a very calm manner, but as Zhang Wu Ji is meditating, how can he look at his pair of eyes?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wu Ji utilized the assistance effect brought by his Body Nourishment Technique to recover himself at an amazing rate, before he pops another Complete Taixia Qi Pill! This increases his Strand of Fighter Qi by one more before Zhang Wu Ji opened his eyes and stares at his three opponents.
His plan succeeds. Zhang Wu Ji took the final pill in his stash, another Fighter Chasing Dan +6 and increased his overall cultivation strength by another 26 strands! 323 Strands in total, Zhang Wu Ji entered the 4th Stage of Inner Qi Fighter during a battle! Although his power did not recover like playing in a game, the increment of 26 strands of Fighter Qi is all he needed!
"Kill him!" the three shouts and charged without bothering about the consequences.
"Master!" Zhang Wu Yuan lost his calmness.
The spectators were looking at the heated battle entering their ending, questioning and guessing Zhang Wu Ji's next move. But this move, only one person within the whole Heavenly Square knows about it.
Three barrels of Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon is aimed towards the three incoming disciples from the Blood Art Sect. Due to the force of their momentum, their response came a half second too late! The three barrels with a round steel ball inside fired with a heavy sound, as they struck the chest of the three cultivators until they fly backward like a returned arrows.
"Celestial Designer! Zhang Wu Ji from the Seven Star Sect is a Celestial Designer!" this news shocks the crowd for the third time, leaving their jaw no longer able to close anymore. Perhaps a fist of an adult can fit inside by now. Looking at the three disciples that crying in pain, the Headmaster of the Heavenly Sword Sect stands up and announced something he came up with...
"The beginning of the Lower and Upper Counties are exciting enough, but I'm afraid that after such a heated battle, only one result came out! Unfortunately, the Blood Art Sect lost their chances right before the fight begins, so I am proud to announce that the Blood Art Sect are crowned as the fifth county within the Upper South State!" he announced that directly without worrying about angering any of the other spectators within the Heavenly Square.
"This old senior agreed with the decision too. What a great battle that we've seen today. Amazing fighting ability from the second brother, and what's more, even the youngest brother is extremely talented. I wonder what will be coming in tomorrow's fight." he said.
Just like this, the second-day battle ended. Although the Blood Art Sect become the winner of the Upper Counties Battle Royal, this ends up as their defeat even before the final battle between upper and lower counties begin. By winning only the group prizes but not the main prize, this situation made everyone from the Blood Art Sect turn moody from their defeat.

"Trash! All of you are trash!" their elder slaps each of them, but it was pointless to do this anymore, as the result will not return to before their fight started.
Tonight, the Living Quarters allocated for the Seven Star Sect is much more different from yesterday. Other than the visitor from the Mystic Engineer Establishment, those from the Herb Valley Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, also came to congratulates the youth for his amazing fight winning against the three students from the Blood Art Sect. Based on the two sect's siblings were studying, their relationship can be said as no longer awkward.
Based on their relationship at this moment, the Heavenly Sword Sect, Seven Star Sect, Mystic Engineer Establishment, and Herb Valley Sect were in a faction, while the Five-Flavor Flame Sect and Blood Art Sect are always together from the first day this two county is established. Meanwhile, The Upper South Merchant Corporation and Jie's Clan is known for their cooperation to assault the Seven Star Sect. As for the Snow Mountain Maiden Sect and Black City Armored Forces, they're known to be always lonesome.
The crowd drinks like no tomorrow, because as a cultivator, the alcohol hardly able to enter their system unless they allowed it to do so. From this little exchange of friendship and different teaching in cultivation, it benefits the four sects, especially to the Mystic Engineer Establishment and Herb Valley Sect, which relies on their medicinal prowess and technology prowess.
Plus, based on Zhang Wu Ji's performance today, who wouldn't befriend him? It was already a surprise for youth like him to advance his cultivation during a fight, plus, as a Celestial Designer that can fight equally with those Martial Cultivators, who will keep their head away from bonding a friendship?
After a good night rest, they gathered once again in Heavenly Square, where the final match will be executed. Their matching is decided according to the challengers wish, which means, they can choose to fight everyone together, or fight one person by ganging on him with everyone. This arrangement may look like the organizer is taking their side with the Lower Counties, but in fact, it was a given opportunity, for them to at least to get one single win.
Rumors said, after the Seven Star Sect's headmaster previous record, there were no more unexpected results came from the battle between Lower Counties and Upper Counties;
With the arrangement of seven cultivators remaining against the ten from the Seven Star Sect, their first match is set by Han Gen challenging the top fighter from the Black City Armored Forces. But the fight did not proceed for too long before Han Gen is defeated completely without getting his chances to overcome his opponent in both Cultivation and Martial Arts.
Their defeat continues, where Han Yan challenging the top disciple from Five-Flavor Flame Sect. His defeat is inevitable too, as they continue until the fifth and sixth sister challenged the top disciple of Snow Mountain Maiden Sect, Han Bing Xue. Instead of a defeat, they conclude the battle as a draw.
it continues, until the seventh and eighth is defeated as well, leaving Guan Qing Han and Zhang Wu Ji as their final participants.
Unexpectedly, Guan Qing Han steps forward before him to challenge the second disciple of the Snow Mountain Maiden Sect. Being the most precious disciple of Beiping Ruolan, Guan Qing Han fought against the second disciple on an even ground, until she finally scored a win for the Seven Star Sect and Lower Counties.
When it was Zhang Wu Ji's turn, his second brother steps up, requesting to be matched with his youngest brother.
Of course, the organizer did not agree with his atrocious request, but at this moment, Master Teacher Zhao Yun added;
"This elder wishes to see how amazing is the brothers in their fight too. How about after one to one match, we'll have a drink together while I impart some knowledge to you both?"
"The slight request from the Master Teacher is exchangeable for a favor!" this is the most important word in his sentence. In this world, perhaps the number of people worthy for him to give a favor can be counted by their ten fingers but seeing that by themselves, this shocked the crowd.
"This junior has no objection." Zhang Wu Ji answered.
"This junior as well." Zhang Wu Chou answered.
Looking at each other, the two brothers prepared their stance, before they inspect each of their opponent's steps. Although Zhang Wu Ji's experience was incomparable against Zhang Wu Chou, his own system (or known as talent in the eye of the public) made up for his weaknesses. But the only differences between the two is Zhang Wu Chou possess a Heaven Qi Martial Body, but his brother is only a Trash Martial Body!
Only based on Fighter Qi alone, Zhang Wu Chou has over 1200 strands of Fighter Qi to be used and replenishes nonstop in a fight.
"Wu Ji, come at me anytime." Zhang Wu Chou said. Feeling proud at his second brother for being so magnanimous, Zhang Wu Ji thanked his brother by giving him a slight bow. But at the next moment, he vanishes from his initial spot without leaving a hit where is his direction.
Leff without choices, Zhang Wu Chou ignites his Fighter Qi to generates a Qi explosion surrounding himself. Plus as a full-fledged Inne Qi Warrior, his explosion ability is much stronger than when an Inner Qi Fighter does it. The explosion did not disappoint him as Zhang Wu Ji's location is very quickly found.
Without leaving him with a chance to retaliates, Zhang Wu Chou aimed his four season's sword at his younger brother, trying to force him to a corner. But this may become his worst dream, where it made him almost wanted to punch this younger brother until their father can't recognize him.
Zhang Wu Ji took his Longfeng Jade Ruler out as he faces against the four gigantic six meters long sword. Their sizes are even bigger than his Qiyue Flying Sword. With their estimated weight of at least 150 kilograms, his brother is extremely amazing to control four at once.
But the only unfortunate thing is, his Longfeng Jade Ruler comes with the Shatter-Strike passive ability. Only by striking at his brother's weapon without an intention to destroys it, the weapon shatters on themselves, until the four swords become four piles of shattered metals.
This incident caused everyone to be shocked by a single hit from his Jade Ruler. If using a ruler like this can make them crush their enemies weapon, shall they soon come out with a Ruler Art Department?
Too bad... Fact is a fact. Without his weapon in hand, Zhang Wu Chou is literally a driver that lost his car. His lack of fist fight experience failed to control his brother's amazingly swift momentum, as he started to landed a few punches on his brother without stopping.
"WUJI Long Fist!" Zhang Wu Ji saw the opportunity, and without fail, he executed the series of 64 different movements in the WUJI Long Fist, which will have no delay in between of each strike. The attack rain onto Zhang Wu Chou like he was a punching back until he ignites his Fighter Qi once again.
That explosion blast him backward slightly, but he was satisfied when he looked at his second brother's face. The bruise appeared all over his face as if he was landed with some misfortune a while ago. Being put in such a state without a way to fight is pretty shameful, especially for a top disciple like his brother.
"Zhang!"
"Wu!"
"Ji!"
Zhang Wu Chou lost his temper at last, as he executed the secret skill belonged to the Heavenly Sword Sect as his final attempt to defeat his brother and get back his dignity. With both palms pointing at the blue skies, all ten fingers tightened together.
Right in the middle of the sky, a circle started to open wider, making the cloud right in the middle expands like a doughnut in the sky. A flash strikes downwards, giving his brother a brand new sword right between his two palm. With a strong grip, he pulled the sword down as he pointed at Zhang Wu Ji.
"That's the Heavenly Sword Sect's secret art, [Borrowing Sword from the Heaven]. I cannot believe that the top disciple already skillful enough to execute this martial art!" one of the spectators with plenty of experience were shocked by the what he was seeing at this moment.
But no matter how amazing it is, the experienced Heavenly Sword Sect Headmaster noticed the weaknesses in the sword Zhang Wu Chou formed in between his palms. It was still not the correct time for him to completely utilize this martial art, thus, the produced sword wasn't as sturdy and sharp as expected.
And when a barely qualified Heaven Borrowed Sword came in contact with the Longfeng Jade Ruler, the Shatter-Strike activated once more, and destroys the sword once more, leaving Zhang Wu Chou with no more weapon in his hand. Still, the Headmaster decides to give both of them a proper stage to stand back by personally standing right between the two youth.
"Xiao Wu Ji, Xiao Wu Chou, Good Fight!" he placed his both palm at the two youth's shoulder to stops them from continuing the battle. As a headmaster for long, he controls the knowledge good enough for him to make this a peaceful end result of a draw. Seeing there was no rejection from the Master Teacher as well, the fight is concluded.
At the end of the third day, the Five-Flavor Flame Sect maintains their first position, while the Blood Art Sect in the second. The third belongs to the Black City Armored Forces, while the fourth and fifth belonged to the Heavenly Sword Sect and Snow Mountain Maiden Sect. With the rewarding session proceeds normally without a hitch, the gathering finally lowered their curtain to give this successful event a great ending.
While most of the sect excused themselves to leave, it was different for the Seven Star Sect. After they bid their farewell on the leaving sect of Mystic Engineer Establishment and Herb Valley Sect, they remained in the Heavenly Sword Sect for some unfinished matters.
As a certified blacksmith, Pill Master, Celestial Designer, Manual Refining Master, and forth, Zhang Wu Ji is expected to craft another set of weapons as the payback to destroys his second brother's Four Season Swords. Of course, that agreement comes after he got lectured by his eldest brother for an hour long.
Maybe because he was a direct disciple for Master Teacher Zhao Yun, his eldest brother end up becoming a naggy lecturer as well, which can be seen from his day to day activities.
And as the favor of showing the master teacher a proper talented fight between two individuals, he handed the two with two different cultivation manual, and also one treasure to each person.
While what his brother got is unknown, Zhang Wu Ji returned to his room happily to inspect his new treasures.
But unfortunately, a pair of strong arms drag him back as he was thrown into the Blacksmithing Department to prepare the weapon as soon as possible so his second brother can kick him out from their sect's vicinity.

Therefore, the final quality of the product will be lot more refined and polished. This demo might get deleted from RoyalRoad after the actual publication.

Inexperienced I may be but I believe my project and it's quality. The actual story will be posted somewhere in 2019. The story will be devided into 7/8 volumes and 90 (approx.) chapters. I have been working on this project for 1 year now.
