Book 2 Chapter 55: Battle Royale

Lintian got back to his room that night and sat down to cultivate his qi. Today was a risky day. If it wasn't for the black flames he would have had a tough time beating those girls. Winning wasn't impossible but it will be tough.

My weakness right now is my defense and range attacks Lintian mentally sighs to himself. Twelve hours is not enough time to increase my strength significantly enough to impact this tournament.

That night as Lintian enter’s the dream orb to train the thousand transformation armament skill. Even through the name was the thousand transformation armament skill it was not limited to just one thousand transformation but billions and billions. One has to know that even a spear has a thousand different forms if not more.

Lintian tries to gain more insight into the thousand transformation armament skill by experimenting with it. Thankfully the dream orb helps speed that up since whenever Lintian makes a certain weapon the dream orb’s shadow copies him and then completes the path of this weapon that he created.

As the minutes creep by there was a slight disturbance outside. Someone was destroying the spell barriers that Dr. Harris set up one by one. Harris felt that his barriers were being destroyed set out to find the perpetrator.

“Lintian wake,” Rashu warns. “Someone is here.”

Lintian instantly came awaken from the dream orb. His eyes shot wide open as the dragon eyes instantly activates. Everything happened in slow motion but it was done in less than a second.

An eagle like claw filled with heavenly qi shot out in the middle of the night aimed at his heart. There was no way to escape. There wasn't enough time!

Lintian’s mind blanked out but his instincts kicked in. All three Dantian’s merges together as the Black flames shot out from his body forming two dragons blasting toward the claw. He activated the fading technique.

All the hidden spells that Harris placed in the room also activated simultaneous. The bed gushes out spell energy forming a protective layer. Conscious energy shot toward the shadow impacting the assassin’s soul sea.

Boom!

The claw broke through the protective barrier while the black flames nibbles away at the heavenly energy. It hits Lintian right in the chest as his body crashes from his floor to the ground floor.

There were claw marks on his chest as blood gushers out. Somehow his fading technique did not work at all. The worse part wasn't the physical injury but the internal injury. The heavenly energy that came in contact with Lintian’s body went on a rampage throughout his body.

It attacked his Dantian, it attacked his internal organs. The organs were the first to get injured as Lintian spits out a mouth full of blood. Luckily that black flames ate away the energy and the energy that attack his Dantian was completely absorbed by the Galaxy dan like it was some kind of bottomless pit hole.

Lintian slowly stood up his body was a mess. He could barely muster up any qi at all. His eyes shifts toward the area he was attacked from. Rage was in his heart. Fear was the last thing on his mind.

“She is gone,” Rashu said.

“She?”

“Yes it is a she,” Rashu stated.

Lintian fell down to one knee. As his internal injuries acted up again.

“Lintian!” Principle Jenny and a whole bunch of teachers, and elders came running over in worry.

“I’m fine. I just need to heal up a bit,” Lintian said breathing heavily.

“What cultivation strength was she?” Lintian asks Rashu mentally.

“King’s realm. Stage seven.”

I am still too powerless Lintian thought to himself.

“Lintian gets get a doctor to treat you first,” Jenny said while hand Lintian a high grade healing pill.

In a little while Harris came running over.

“What happen?” Harris asks gravely.

“Someone tries to assassinate Lintian just now,” an elder told Harris.

“How? Did anyone get a recording?” Harris asks. His mind was thinking how did they get pass the spells protection spells he casted. The people has to be at least in the heaven’s realm or peak King’s realm. For these type of people especially on this continent they would not easily be hired for an assassination attempt. This competition might be important but it was not important enough for anyone to pay such a price to assassinate someone.

“You guys stay here and protect Lintian. Have at least 5 people in the King’s realm here to protect him. Jenny you should stay too just incase since you are the only heaven’s realm expert here,” Harris logically explains.

Slowly through the night Lintian’s injuries were healed up. He was at the very least eighty to ninety percent healed. It was just his meridian’s that were still slightly damaged. Those are a lot harder to heal than other injuries.

“Huh?” Lintian noticed something that he didn't notice before. His qi has actually became purer and denser than compare with before.

Instead of pondering on it excitedly Lintian took out two demonic beast cores and decided to cultivate.

A couple hours passed and sunlight peers through the window.

It was time to go.

It took a while but they finally arrived at the stadium again and today it turns out everything was little bit different. There were 25 schools yesterday and after Lintian eliminated two schools there were only twelve left today and all twelve of them aside from Lintian’s school were in the top fourteen ranked before.

As the schools got comfortable in their own section they began to discuss about who they might be matched up with.

“Lintian are you well enough to participate?” the principle asks with concern.

Lintian smiles back warmly as he said, “I’m fine. I have already healed ninety percent.”

“If you feel that you cannot hold up don't worry about it and give up. You coming this far has already proven to me your strength.”

“I’ll be fine.”

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Welcome back! Today we have a special treat for everyone! Since there are only 12 teams left we decided to do something fun and new for everyone. Instead of having another team get the unlucky number of having to fight twice we decided to do a battle Royale and the last four teams standing will be in the finals!” The announcer on the stage shouts out excitedly.

“What the hell?” someone mutters under the breath, “Why are they constantly changing the competition format?”

This could actually go to our advantage Lintian thought to himself.

“Alright we will explain the rules!” the girl on the stage continues to shout. “Each team will receive a special gold medallion, and a watch from us. These medallions cannot be forge and cannot be hidden. Once the team receives a medallion it will teleport you into the battle Royale zone. It is a 12 mile by 12 mile arena. It will have lakes, waterfall, and even a 1 mile high mountain. Even through it is small it will be enough for people to take advantage of the area. We made it as close to reality as possible. Inside the 12 by 12 mile arena are also rank 4 and 5 demonic beast to keep you on your toes. This is to help speed up the battle. This is so if all teams just happen to have the same strategy it can be disrupted. This battle is a cycle of 24 hours. Every 24 hours either you defeat a team and receive a gold medallion, or defeat three rank five demonic beast, or twelve rank 4 demonic beasts. Once you have three gold medallion you will be automatically teleported out of the arena.”

“Furthermore to make this more interesting the higher ups have decided that all teams that were defeated yesterday will have chance to come back in today’s competition. They must obtain 3 gold medallions just like the other teams but they will not receive any medallions themselves. Furthermore in order to make this fair for the current teams the losing team from yesterday will not be able to launch sneak attacks and their watch will warn the current team when you are 10 meters within range of them.”

“Alright let the twelve teams from yesterday come up and receive your medallion and watch.”

All twelve teams walks up the aisles and lined up to receive the watch and medallion.

Some of the teams gave Lintian’s group a slight sneer before they receive the watch and medallion before teleporting away.

Micheal Valiant turns to Lintian and whispers through a voice transmission, “watch yourself.”
