Scene 2 - Beatdown
Pupils contacted, Eclipse exploded into madness as the light flickered off of his body; a limit released he stopped holding back. Shooting forward Qi ran off his legs, increasing his speed by Thrice. Qi gathered atop of his fist, everyone could guess that the wanted to finish off Sol with a fearsome punch! Sol's face paled, but instead of consenting defeat instead of he ran at Eclipse head on, it seemed he wished for mutual destruction!
Ripples in the red sand scattered around the two as they neared each other. Shocking the spectators that opened their mouths in awe thinking such thoughts as ‘What kind of fight is this?!’
Only a few opened their eyes wide including a certain black robed expert whose eyes danced with moonlight.
Eclipse was faster than Sol despite using his weapons memories to move by a hair and ruthlessly smashed Sol’s face into the ground scattering the sand in shockwaves creating a meter-sized hole! Thankfully both of their cultivation bases were the same in the ring otherwise Sol wouldn’t be just heavily injured in this exchange he would have had his head turned into a bloody mist of brain matter!
The crowd already knew who was going to win but were surprised by Eclipse sudden ruthlessness he never acted in such a way before in the ring. Normally he would play with his opponent and not bash them so bad. This time Sol stayed down at that point knocked unconscious. Not missing a beat the announcer counted to ten Eclipse declared him the winner. Although Eclipse walked away the winner he felt feeling bitter about remembering his own helplessness.
Weakly a voice came from behind him, “Next time I won’t lose; bandage boy...”
Eclipse eyes opened wide. He had used around 90% of his full power, yet Sol still didn’t black out! Eclipse stopped only for a moment and then kept on walking, after all, he won so there wasn’t a reason to stick around.

His mind fading, Sol passed out and that point a few guards came and carried him towards the tunnel.
Eclipse walked away laughing for all to hear; it was a laugh of someone who found something interesting, “Ha-ha… I’ll be waiting, boyo.”
Though as soon as he entered his tunnel he clutched his stomach with a low whisper, “Nice punch by the way…”
Holding his stomach he could feel that his internal organs had shifted out of place somewhat. Most people didn’t notice that in the final exchange between the two Sol’s had indeed landed a punch! Eclipse snapped his fingers which a few of his bandages on his stomach became loose showing a cube-like tattoo.
Pushing his hand on his stomach he pulled ‘off’ the cube from his skin which became a 3-D object. Opening the top of the cube he put his hand in retrieving a small pill which he ingested. As soon as the pill hit his tongue it instantly turned to liquid running through his body helping to heal his minor internal injury. To help the process along Eclipse sat down at the end of tunnel cross-legged and began circulating the healing energy of the pill to recover his injury.
...
The crowd talked to each other over the fight they saw with Eclipse and Sol having such thoughts as, “Overestimating his ability. Poor child. What a weakling.”
Dela didn’t have such thoughts and moved together with Saren and Luna rushing towards the desk where Dela flashed her metal, “These two are with me we’ve come to check on Sol… Can you let us enter?”
The women knew Bread Maker’s character very well and allowed her through.
Watching their fading figures the women thought, ‘That kid got knocked out cold it’ll be a pain to keep him, it’s best for someone to take him away.’

Sol lay on the bench bruised and battered with a black robed person standing over him when the three walked in. The three couldn’t see his or her face and were instantly on guard. With the restrictive spells in place, no ordinary expert could enter! Only those allowed could enter; the pit didn’t want a bad name for itself for not keeping their fighters safe after fighting.
Luna spoke up loudly her spear in hand, “Who are you! What are you doing to my brother?”
The black-robed expert turned to them, what they saw was a complete shadow blocking its face; the black robed person said in a voice that couldn’t be distinguished between male or female, “Here feed him this when he wakes up; it’ll heal his injuries within two days.”
The black robed person then tossed out a small glass container towards them. Saren caught it out of the air. Without another word the black robed person left without a sound disappearing at high speeds outside the tunnel they came in tunnel.
