Chapter 8- The participants

I was on the one of the pillars , I was facing an another cultivator he was an outer diciple based on his uniform, I was the grandson of a grand elder so I did not have to become a core disciple, they did not have a uniform. But both outer and inner disciple had them, the one in front of me had a violet rob that had symbol of green sword on his chest and green vines covered the sleeves from elbow down.

He had daggers in his hands, he too was in the late foundation establishment stage, he did not say anything as he became a black shadow and came at me, I did not move as he was in range he brandished his two daggers at me. As it came at me I vanished, the outer disciple froze as I put my sword on to his neck from behind him.

What I used was my dharmic spell, every one had a unique spell that was the most compatible with them based on their personality, cultivation manuals and their interest. This was mine called invincible. It could when perfected make me invincible to almost all attack , it was essentially an amalgamation of four spells, because of my cultivation manuals the 100 ghost body scripture, I had to keep my body neutral, and made me more in tune with the environment. I could stand still and if people did not try too hard then they would not knew I was their. And with the ghost walking skill, and ghost claw skill that was part of the cultivation manual , I added a invisible spell and phasing a spell that can make me phase through objects and energy my invincible skill was formed.

It had many problems , as it had four spell the energy drain was a huge problem I could use invincible spell at most ten times before running out of qi, I could correct that by sometimes not using all of the four spell at once, I just know did not use ghost claw that will help me attack opponent in my invincible form. Other problem was that one invincible spell only last ten second before I have to stop using it or I will loose consciousness and become nothing that was if the one attacking me was closer to my level, if there was huge difference in cultivation then the time I could use the spell will be lesser and the energy I need to support the spell also increase. Also I could not use any other attack than ghost claw in my invincible form.

This was the third round I fought.

In the first round I only had to use my sword arts The wrath of peach blossom to defeat a outer diciple who was a martial cultivator, he had a look of total confusion on his face as he went flying through the air form the stag, my sword arts has a psychological effect, as turn from a peach blossom to bloodthirsty animal at the last moment of my attack, figuratively of course.

In the second battle, I was against a inner disciple who was in core formation stage, the disciple used poison arts so I could not get close to him , he had a cloud of poison surrounding him, from the cloud poison darts came at me like they were from a automatic gun, I used my movement art illusionary steps to move around stage, and had to draw the disciple to a third grade restriction formation I put in place to bind him and used a long range spell called the jade dragon dance to send him out of the stage.

I was waiting for the next fight , all of my fights won’t be easy as earlier ones , my main competition will be Bo Hua, and I was watching her fight, she too was not wearing a uniform, she was the daughter of a a grand elder, she wore a robe that had a white and blue colour patter with golden flowers on them, she was very beautiful, she has a ice elemental heavenly spiritual root, so she used mostly ice base attacks, that and her beauty made her look like an ice angel, a fairy

But her personality was the opposite, arrogant, brutal, she used the most brutal attack to finish her opponents, that will not be a problem because showing your enemy kindness is stupid, but even in competition like these she used the most brutal methods, not only that whenever she fought a male disciple she finished her fights by disabling her opponents by kicking their balls.

As she finished another fight, she went off the stage in high spirit head raised arrogance written on her face, as she went down the stage some people went on the stage with a stretcher and piched up the diciple wriggling in pain seeing him , my hand unconsciously covered my neither region and gulped a saliva.

Luckily she is not one of the five opponents I face today, I will face her and the other three remaining opponent tomorrow.

After finishing the remaining two fights without many complication, I went to my grandfather to help me make something special that will help me defeat her.
