Battle Royale

Just as Xueqin made one step, 3 more gray pillar of light shot over the sky "It seems that I am not the only one" Xueqin smiled.

"Burn to ashes!" From a near bush jumped an average boy shouting as he swung his sword to Xueqin. The boy unleashed his Sword Intent, red flames surging around his sword.

"Let's try it head on" Xueqin swung his greatsword, a golden aura surrounding it.

"Boom!" Both swords clashed, the boy finding himself greatly surpassed, his flames unable to burn over, completely suppressed by Xueqin's pure strength.

"Crack!" A crack appeared over the boy's sword, not even a second passing before it broke to pieces. Xueqin's greatsword directly hitting his stomach and throwing him over 30 meters, completely unconcious.

Xueqin stood with a curious look as he saw the boy's body disappearing and at the same time the boy's identifier appearing over his hand "Number 657? What an idiot for someone so weak" Xueqin said looking at the identifier.

He turned around and pointed his sword towards a bush "Didn't you see enought? You can already leave your hidding place, it's useless."

A rugged young man seemingly 18 years old surged from the bush with two daggers over his hands. "For a little boy to discover me, I fell really low."

Without stopping pointing at him, Xueqin turned his head around "The same goes for the others" From the surroundings 3 boys and 2 girls surged, having been discovered. They looked at everyone with wary as they were all enemies.

"Let's cooperate!" The rugged young man quickly reacted "He is a Inner Valley member. We can join to take him down. Let's wait until he is defeated, then we can fight between each other."

All the people there nodded in understanding, quickly accepting the offer. They all had seen what Xueqin had done before, they were a little frightened to go alone against him.

"Haaa!" The boys and girls shouted as they launched towards Xueqin, each one unleashing their own Sword Intent. They were all basic intents, lacking in form and versatility.

Xueqin being surrounded clenched his greatsword. He pierced over the ground "<Sword Intent: Golden Dragon Climbs the Heavens>!" Golden light surged from Xueqin's greatsword, a golden dragon manifesting around it.

"GRRRRRRR!" The golden dragon roared climbing to the sky, hitting every unfortunable swordmasters that was charging towards Xueqin. All of their eyes rolled, falling uncious and quickly disappearing.

Xueqin's eyes flicked, he quickly turned around and punched forward to the air.

"Crack!" Noises of bones cracking were listened. Over Xueqin's punch, the rugged young man had appeared. He had used his Sword Intent to hide himself, using all the others as a deception. He didn't had expected for Xueqin to be able to detect him just as he was about to thrust his daggers.

Xueqin punched his face, cracking his nose and pushing him over 5 meters.

"H-how could you detect me?" The rugged man said frightened and shocked, his illusion shouldn't have been so easily seen through.

"There no need for you to know" Xueqin's eyes flicked as he lifted his greatsword, swinging it towards the rugged man.

"I surrender!" The rugged man hurriedly said. Just before Xueqin's greatsword hit him, his body disappeared, the greatsword crashing to the ground.

The truth was that Xueqin couldn't detect the rugged man. Even with his greater spiritual power, he lacked experience and a suitable technique. However, the rugged man never had left Xueqin's sight. Xueqin was clearly able to see the sword aura around the rugged man, him activating his Sword Intent it only made it even simpler.

"A good start" Xueqin said looking at the 6 new identifies that he had gained "That stealth intent was truly peculiar. Swords are really the best."

He clenched his sword, swinging it around meeting a new rival that suddenly had appeared.

"Clank!" With both sword clashing, Xueqin smiled "I really look forward to new rivals."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What demostration of Sword Intent! Showing his pure strength" Shining Light said towards the audience that were able to see the images happening over the competition "For someone so young to be able to unleash such a defined and strong Intent, he truly deserves our admiration."

Looking at Xueqin's fight a smile appeared over Shining Light's face (Like it could be expected from the Abysm's disciple, he quickly recognized the aim of the trial, a simple refining place for the Inner Valley.) Shethought.

"We might be in front of a dark horse of the tournament. Would he be able to persist such pase?" Shining Light said to the public.

(This other children are also doing great) Shing Light said observing three images, all of them with a gray pillar surging from them.

In the first one, a blue-haired boy with a blue mask wielding a beautiful ice blue sword was slowly walking with a very cold expression, without showing any emotion. Surrounding him, some poor frozen bodies laid around as a cold air surrounding him.

On the second one, a blonde little girl with a yellow mask and wielding a shining sword stood. Her movements were sharp, precise and extremelly quickly, being difficult for their rivals to react. Behind her, a trail of people with pierced parts over their body stood slowly disappearing.

In the last, a fully covered in black figure stood, hiding her body completely. It was even difficult to know if it was a girl or a boy, but Shining Light was sure that she was a girl. She wielded a big black greatsword that towered her weight of 140 cm that was pierced over the ground. She didn't have even moved as darkness surged from her greatsword, swallowing everyone enough idiot to try to attack her, contorted in pain and forced to surrender.

(She is really better to the others. Interesting, she might be near the Domain Realm)

"Let's enjoy this expectaculars battles!" Shining Light cheered the public.
