Feng Yun glanced at the opponent before him with disdain. As a member of the royal family of the Xu dynasty, you naturally grew up with a large amount of privileges. This causes most of them to become so conceited that they believe that they are the highest beings on the continent. Feng Yun was all too familiar with this concept. He had killed many troublemakers with that same problem. They were all very arrogant, until they had their heads lopped off.

Xu Long appeared to be no different. I'm not even going to save him some face, Feng Yun thought. His expression turned slightly bored and he let out a deep sigh. Ignoring Xu Long's looks of disdain towards him, Feng Yun openly looked at the fight between Xia Qing and Xu Fei. Both were beauties and nobility but they had very different personalities. Xia Qing was calm and kind to people whereas Xu Fei was overbearing and arrogant.

These Xu Royal Family bastards, they're all the same, he thought to himself. The battle appeared to be going very easy. Xia Qing and Xu Fei traded blows at an extremely fast pace, shocking people into disbelief. Their movements were unnaturally quick so both of them must have trained in an agility skill.

Xia Qing condensed qi into her fingertips and her right hand turned into one which contained a fiery aura that looked as if it could burn everything. Xu Fei's eyes narrowed and immediately, upon sensing the danger of the fist used a defensive skill with sixty percent of her qi concentrated into it.

Great Stone Entrapment.

Some yellow earth like qi came out and surrounded Xu Fei's body and defended against the fist perfectly. Xu Fei sneered at Xia Qing as the fist did not create any pain whatsoever and she struck out at the latter's unguarded head. However, when her fist connected with Xia Qing's body, she was shocked to see that it was only an after image and Xia Qing was in fact right behind her.

Panicking, Xu Fei tried to turn around but was too late. Another fist rained down upon her exposed back this time filled with a frozen cold like qi. This was the combination of both fire and ice qi that was granted by the Icefire Emperor Eagle. Even Feng Yun would have a slightly hard time dealing with this synchronization. Xu Fei's back lurched and a fresh mouthful of blood sprayed about. On the stands, Xu Qinzheng's face turned grim but he knew that he could not violate the rules. She jumped off from her original position and landed a couple meters away from Xia Qing, clutching her stomach in pain. She glared at Xia Qing fiercely all traces of her beauty lost in her rage.

"Bitch, you dare to hit this princess. I'll return this one thousand times over!"

Earth Tiger King Spirit!

A layer of earth qi began to surround her and her appearance drastically changed. She had her original body with the aura of a fierce Earth Tiger King emerging from her body. It let out a roar which reverberated throughout the audience and especially Xia Qing who was closest to her. Xu Fei gained claws with talon like nails as well as thin slits in her eyes making her look like a genuine tiger. The Earth Tiger King was a very rare type of spirit and had the ability to control the element of earth when the wielder reached the Truth Realm. It had amazing raw power and a rock hard defense. A true king of the earth! Xia Qing narrowed her eyes as she stared at the now transformed Xu Fei. Then, Xu Fei leaped off of the ground and flung her claws at Xia Qing. How fast, Xia Qing thought and subconsciously tried to move away but found that she couldn't escape the full range of the attack.

The sleeves of her right arm's clothing were cleanly torn off and revealed a creamy white and jade like skin that dazzled Feng Yun and the surrounding audiences a bit. At the same time, the ribbon in her hair also fell to the ground and an explosive rise in power began to emanate from her. The illusion of a large king like eagle appeared opening it's wide blue and red wings to everyone. It had a crown like organ built into its forehead and within its eyes held an immense amount of pride and king lie aura. The scene made everyone inhale deep breaths. This was the presence of the Ice Fire Emperor Eagle. How majestic!

The illusion then swirled until it was absorbed into Xia Qing's body and her appearance began to make a change as well. Her eyes which were originally complete azure, Her hair had bluish reddish tints on them as well. A crystal like mark embedded itself within her forehead, the same exact one on the Ice Fire Emperor eagle's forehead. Flames and ice surrounded her in both sides and enveloped her like they were in embrace. Xia Qing's beauty at this moment could be said to be at the peak. Just a little older and countless men would fight over her in a war. At this moment, she gave off the aura of a Tempered Body 8th layer mid phase cultivator after transformation. She walked calmly but every single one of her steps seemed to shake the earth. Xu Fei roared at Xia Qing and released her power.

First Spirit Ability - Earth Splitting War Cut.

She appeared in front of Xia Qing and sliced towards Xia Qing. The claw slice seemed to carry an immense amount of pressure and qi and could probably kill most people of the lower Tempered Body 8th layer phase. However, Xia Qing didn't look the least bit scared. She smiled and a wall of combined ice and fire swirled about completely blocking the attack and absorbing the qi from the attack.

First spirit ability - Ice Fire Congruence Wall!

Xu Fei looked at the wall in shock, and then at Xia Qing in terror.

"Im... Im...Impossible! You shouldn't be able to block that attack! No, I am unable to accept this. I cannot possibly be weaker than a bitch that isn't even from the Four Major powers. Die, Xia Qing!"

Second Spirit Ability - Earth Splitting War Cry.

The attack that Xu Fei used just now was a soul attack. It seemed that she too had knowledge of these things other than Feng Yun. Xia Qing furrowed her eyebrows for a moment, but then reverted back to her usual calm expression. As the approaching soul energy got closer, Xia Qing had a firm look in her eyes.

"It seems I must end this quickly."

Second Spirit Ability - Ice Fire Combustive Blast!

Xia Qing's hands shook and they pressed together to make a large orb that glowed both blue and red. The orb expanded and gave off an immense pressure in the face of the soul attack. Xia Qing released the orb and it went flying like a meteorite instantly breaking past the soul attack, to everyone's shock. But it did not stop there. It went further and knocked into Xu Fei launching her body faster than she could see into the wall of the arena. She dropped her head to the ground and laid there, clearly injured and unconscious. Xu Ming announced through the speaker in a loud and shaky voice.

"Well, um... it appears that the winner for this match is Xia Qing!"

The audience was silent and the Xu Dynasty Emperor was tapping his finger on the arms rest next to him uncontrollably. He was slightly agitated. After all, his own children had lost. How could he not feel some shame? He concealed it to himself though. Hmph, at least Xu Long would regain some of his lost face.

Xia Qing stood up with a smile on her face, the features from the Ice Fire Emperor Eagle gone and back to her normal appearance. She waved to Feng Yun, who had completely ignored his own opponent's blabbering and smiled sweetly. Feng Yun felt his heart flutter for a moment before she walked off. His thoughts were interrupted by Xu Long, who was red faced and trying to get his attention for the last five minutes.

"Oi, you. Pay attention to young master here. God damn it, you're not paying attention to ME?! Die Feng Yun." He lunged at Feng Yun using a high level martial skill to try to destroy him in an instant. Feng Yun snorted and glanced at him in disdain.

"Bastard, you interrupted my beautiful thoughts. Go to hell."

To Feng Yun, Xu Long's attack was going extremely slow. He didn't even put Xu Long into his eyes and was quite ticked off that Xu Long disturbed his very happy thoughts. Feng Yun dodged slightly as Xu Long's body went beside him and extended his legs in a sidekick at Xu Long's waist sending his body flying and his waist bone being broken. That one kick knocked him unconscious and what was even scarier was that Feng Yun had the exact same expression the whole time that they fought...which was about thirty seconds.

Everyone's mouths dropped down in shock. Who as Xu Long? He was the second son of Xu Qinzheng and at the Tempered Body Seventh layer peak stage. He was a force to be reckoned with yet Feng Yun wiped him off the stage with a single sidekick. This was simply unfathomable. Even Xia Qing, who had done a marvelous performance herself looked at him in surprise and admiration. Xu Qinzheng's attitude became several times more agitated but he still miraculously managed to calm himself down. It's okay. At least we still have Fang'er, he thought. Xu Ming announced the winner with some awkwardness. Two members of his family had been defeated now. As a member of the Xu Family, how could he not feel some embarrassment?

"The winner of this match is...er...Feng Yun of the Cloudscale Sect."

The crowd was silent and still had their mouths open. All of the Feng family's expressions were that of surprise all except for Feng Lei who looked serene. This isn't even a small percentage of Feng Yun's power, he thought.

"To remind those who have forgotten, the rewards of the tournament are as follows. The third place will receive a Qi Yuan Fruit. Second place will receive a low grade spiritual weapon. Finally, first place will receive a Xiantian Pellet. I forgot to announce this at the beginning of the tournament." Xu Ming said quite embarrassingly.

Feng Yun nodded his head while heading back to his seat. A Qi Yuan fruit could help cultivators condense qi faster for a limited time and be able to make a breakthrough during this period of time. A low grade spiritual tool is a tool that is specially forged using spiritual energy and can be quite powerful at crucial moments. They were helpful to anyone under the Tyrant Realm or Truth realm but were hindrances to the truly powerful experts.

Lastly was the Xiantian pellet. This helped someone who was at the Tempered Body 9th layer peak stage to break through to the Xiantian realm much faster. What would rake two years to accomplish could be done within one or even a few months if you're lucky. This was Feng Yun's main goal. He needed that pellet for when he reached the Tempered Body 9th Layer Peak. Xu Ming cleared his throat.

"Ahem. Out of the twenty four disciples that came here, only twelve remain. We shall start the next phase of the tournament. Congratulations on making it this far. Good luck to the disciples that survived this round and are in the next."
