《Emperor of the Era》Chapter [12] -The Tournament...

Chapter 11
Jian Yun sneered as he looked at the first match.It was two thirteen years old youths fighting against each other.But their cultivations were only of the second layer.Their strikes were barely a level higher than the first layer,and even a casual strike wasn’t able to destroy a rock.
“Hmph,so weak.”He sneered as Jian Chen sighed,”That is only because you are way to strong,brother Yun.”Jian Wei said the same thing.”I know that,but their strikes are so weak!There is no power in them!”
Then the match was close to an ending.One roared,”Hard PALM!”His palm suddenly was covered in rocks as he thrust it forward,implanting it into the other’s chest,making him fly away and crash into a corner.
“Jian Yan Wins!”The elder shouted.He waved his hand and two cultivator of the fifth layer entered and took the wounded one away.”Second Match,Jian Yun against Jian Yin!”
“It’s my turn”Jian Yun smiled.He jumped into the arena from the first row,and landed steadily.”START!”The elder shouted.Jian Yin was a beautiful girl,which had slightly developed.”Surrender now,I can’t assure you of your safeness.”He warned her who disagreed and attacked.
Her attack was coated in qi,but it was nothing to Jian Yun who evaded easily.Jian Yun then smiled and coated his palm in qi,it was the same attack!He implanted his palm into her chest,making her fly away dozens of meters away,almost crashing.
“He used the same attack!”
A person from the bleachers shouted.He had used the same yet not the same attack,and it was several times stronger than the former!”Your attacks have little power,your palm is not suitable for hard Qi attacks,use soft Qi.
Your body needs physical training,you simply don’t have the power to use a lot of Qi,you should either train or give up.”Jian Yun said in a wise tone,making Jian Yin grit her teeth and shouted,”Shut up!What the hell do you know about me?!”

Her eyes turned red,”Devil Transformation!”She roared.An evil red energy engulfed her body.Devil Transformation was a fourth tier technique.It was very powerful and boosted one’s power by a level.
“Devil Claw!”She roared as she shaped her hand into a claw.She thrust it forward,creating a red claw which flew towards Jian Yun who muttered,”Ki Cloud Finger!”His finger was covered in cloudy mist’s and Ki which he thrust forward,and a wave of ki shot,destroying the red claw completely.
“Flying Wind Palm!”Jian Yun shouted as he unleashed a flying wind palm from”his hand,thrusting it forward.Jian Yin was sent flying like crazy.The audience swallowed their saliva,”Jian Yun wins!”The elder shouted.
“He used such a weak technique to win?”The audience was thrown into disarray.”It can’t be that this wasn’t his true power?”That was true,towards a simple pinnacle second layer cultivator,Jian Yun just had to use 1% of his actual power to win.
He smiled towards the audience and waved his hand before slowly reaching the wall.He coated his legs in Qi before slowly climbing the wall,like it was a casual walk.That was the sixth stage’s special ability!
The audience weren’t much surprised.They already knew Jian Yun had surpassed the seventh layer already.If he couldn’t even do that,it would disappoint them a lot.He walked to his seat at the bleachers,right next to Jian Chen and Jian Wei.
“Third Match Jian Chen against Jian Su”The elder shouted,then the two said names entered the arena.Jian Su was a thin and long man,he was at least 1,90.And he was only thirteen.He could use techniques which need tallness.
“Even though you already are at the fifth layer,don’t think you are stronger than me!”Jian Su sneered.He was at the third pinnacle layer.”Body Crash!”He shouted and released his body,with a gust of powerful wind he fell straight on Jian Chen who smiled,”Flame Wings!”And two wings made from flame appeared on his back,he flapped them and he flew away,evading the attack.

“Flame Bullets!”He shouted as he shaped his hand into a pistol,he waved it,and four bullets made from flames appeared and attacked Jian Su who tried dodging,but was too slow.
But unfortunately the bullets didn’t have enough power in them and only injured Jian Su a bit.”Qi Whip!”He shouted as he waved his hand,which was over 70cm and clad in Qi towards Jian Chen who gritted his teeth.
‘As I expected there wasn’t enough power in the attack.’He thought in his heart and dodged the attack.’What about this then!’He thought in his heart and shouted,”Crimson Sparks!”He waved his hands and crimson sparks the size of one of his arms each,in total there were fifty,and they were flying randomly.
Two had flew straight into Jian Su’s body.He gritted his teeth but couldn’t bear it anymore and gave a cry of pain.His entire stomach had a huge burning scar.He fell straight into the floor!He was unconscious!
The pain had become so unbearable for him.It was impossible to be able to stay conscious with such a pain.”Jian Chen wins!”The elder smiled and shouted.”As expected!”
“Yes!He truly is the child of two Grand Elders!”
“Wasn’t that a sixth tier technique?The Jian Clan only has six sixth tier techniques!”Even Grand Elders usually don’t give sixth tier techniques to their sons early,only when they grow up do they do that.
“No idiot,that is a Half Sixth Tier Technique…”An experienced person sighed.Half techniques were more common than the true tier of a technique,the Jian Clan had twelve half sixth techniques.They also had four half seven tier techniques.
Jian Chen smiled and returned to his seat,next to Jian Wei and Jian Yun who were cheering for him the entire battle.”Next,Jian Wei against Jian Di!”The elder shouted and the two said names entered.
Jian Di was an average guy,with a cultivation of the third layer.It would be easy for Jian Wei to defeat him.She smiled and took out a flute.It was black and beautiful.She started playing it.The beautiful sound the flute made transformed into a huge monster of sound which seemingly could eat Jian Di in one go.
Jian Di swallowed his saliva and roared,”Bronze Body!”And his body was covered in bronze,his skin brown.Yet the monster of sound easily swallowed him,leaving him with several wounds,and unconscious.”Jian Wei Wins!”The elder shouted.
“As always,her monsters are very powerful!”
“Her play is also beautiful!”
Jian Wei smiled at the audience.They felt like a Goddess had descended,a part of their soul ascended.She slowly climbed the stairs and reached her place next to her two powerful friends.They didn’t care at all about Jian Di’s poor condition,like he was a bug,they had forgotten about him.
Jian Wei trained Flute Arts,her play was also beautiful.She was suited for it.But she also practiced hand to hand combat,because if her Flute Arts were defeated,she would be left with only her hands.
Naturally,she could use her hands in combat only if she had experience and trained with experts.”Well done,this is the first time I ever saw your skills,good job.”Jian Yun smiled at her and then solemnly looked at his family.
They were happy,like he was never there.’It’s because of that eye’s influence...But she just did me a favor….’He grinned and laughed in his mind.”How ignorant!How dare they look like nothing is happening!”Jian Chen gritted his teeth,he couldn’t understand how Jian Yun endured such an humiliation.
“Hahaha,don’t think much of that.”Jian Yun smiled and laughed.The boy and girl sighed,they couldn’t tell what he thought all.Was he angry?Was he Calm?Was he raging but hiding his hate?Well they knew nothing.
Then after 60 more matches,the third stage started.Only 32 had entered it,and it would soon become even shorter.
“Jian Yun against Jian Yian!”The elder shouted.

The Successor
The Immortal God Emperor is dead...yet his Successor will one day arise. The worlds had long moved on from the greatest Cultivator of all time. The things that had been achieved and the advances made in the Immortal God Emperor's absence were nothing to turn one's nose up at. And yet, something was always missing. Because Cultivators, no matter the goals they pursue, always bow to the greater power. They seek it, they covet it for themselves, and they serve it with reverence. Shan Kai Lan was born into such a world. Born to two herb farmers whose cultivation did not surpass the Foundation Realm, yet who loved their son more than anything. Kai Lan was a child blessed by the Spiritual Plain, far more gifted and more intelligent than others his age. Yet the more profound his achievements, the greater the likelihood that his happy, peaceful life would be trampled on by those who desired his potential for themselves. The question of Kai Lan's journey becomes not whether he will reach the highest peak of cultivation, but what he will be forced to do to keep his young Clan, and the happiness it provides, at peace. Note to Reader: I am not of an Asian background, but this work is heavily influenced by Eastern stories and concepts. In saying that, it is an INFLUENCE only. Keep in mind that this is a fantasy work, and any butchering of names, concepts or cultural objects/places/subjects are not meant in any way to offend. With that in mind, Happy Reading! - Jelim
