Chapter 21 Challenge (2)
The two men circled each other in the dirt-covered arena, their eyes locked in a deadly stare. The young man, with a lean and powerful build, was clearly the more agile of the two, but his opponent was a hulking brute of a man, wielding a massive axe with ease.
Without warning, the big man charged forward, his axe raised high. The young man, quick on his feet, dodged to the side and landed a powerful kick to his opponent's ribs.
The big man grunted in pain, but his axe swung down with a deadly arc, forcing the young man to dive to the ground to avoid the blade.
They continued their dance of death, the young man darting and weaving around his opponent's attacks while striking with swift and powerful blows of his own. He used his mastery of martial arts to deliver swift punches and kicks, each one finding its mark on the big man's body.
The big man, however, was not easily defeated. He swung his axe with ferocity, each blow sending a shower of dirt and debris flying. The young man was forced to back away, using his speed and agility to avoid the deadly weapon.
Summoning a tinge bit of his physical strength, he launched a devastating series of punches and kicks that sent the big man staggering back.
With a final, crushing blow, the young man struck his opponent in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground. The arena erupted into cheers as the young man stood, victorious, over his fallen foe.
He was victorious, many things came to his mind butt for now, he was content to bask in the glory of his victory, knowing that he had proven himself as a true master of martial arts.
He have proven that he was a Hanma, a blood that stood for generations with one thing in mind and that is victory through viaolence.
"Oh man, it's a shame. I didn't even have to use any of the crazy techniques from the Eighth gates of Godhood."
The Heavenly Demon alongside all of the audience got struck by how powerful Ryusen truly is, he was so little and so quiet yet behind that is a man of monstrous strength. Not only that but even the oh-so-proud Unit Leader of Charred Dragon Unit could feel his hair stand up.
'S-such power, how is he so young yet already possesses such strength.' The Charred Dragon Unit Leader thought.
But even his siblings, Kril and Fitz was caught by surprise.
'I knew he was powerful but not this powerful.'
The opponent he fought was the Demon Axe Spirit, one of the highest ranked Demonic King of the Cult yet for Ryusen to effortlessly defeat him so without executing any of the Familimy's technique was truly shocking to say the least.
But disregarding that, as a leader of such vast organization, a religion, the Heavenly Demon got back his composure quick and immediately announces Ryusen's victory.
"Truly impressive display of skills from the grandson of the Divine Demon. It was a very entertaining fight, I hope you will show us more of your fights." He said with a smile at Ryusen and then he turned his head towards where the Demonic King rank sat and spoke.
"I hope this will serve as a waking up call to my followers, the young generation is catching up with us it is only a matter of time before they surpass us." At the Heavenly Demon's provoking words, the tension between the Demonic King rank, not only the Demonic King but everyone got tense.
The new waves of Yangtze River will push away the old ones.
"But anyway! This is feast! Let the fight continue!"
"Is there anyone that wishes to challenge more?" at the quick change of his attitude the tense atmosphere got back on track and the Banquet got back on it's previous atmosphere.
Ryusen on the other hand felt quite a bit disappointed, he got back to his seat and was asked questions but strangely he felt unsatisfied.
Soon the banquet ended.

In the Persian Empire, Terene Archaemenid, the pseudo ruler of Persia, sat on a magnificent golden throne while a cloaked figure knelt before him.
"Greetings, King's brother," the figure rasped.
"At ease," Terene replied. "Do you know why you're here?"
"I have my assumptions, but I'm afraid they may be incorrect."
"Oh? And what assumptions might those be?"
"Forgive my insolence, but are you looking for an assassin outside the king's land?"
"Sharp as the rumors say. You're correct. Now that you know, tell me what I want."
"Hmm, the land of the east, my homeland. Two of the most powerful clans reside there - the Soul Clan and the Hanma Clan."
"Elaborate," Terene urged.
"The Soul Clan masters energy while the Hanma Clan masters the body," the Overseer explained, favoring the former.
Although he didn't know the Hanmas' physical prowess, the Soul Clan seemed like the right choice to Terene.
"Prepare me a meeting with the Soul Clan."
"Right away your excellence."
After their little meeting the Overseer grinned and soon he travelled away from Terene's land and into the capital. He immediately requested a meeting with the king to report. Of course the king granted him his request.
"Sigh, this is the reason why you will never have the throne brother."
"Thank you Overseer for the information and to your loyalty."
"The eye of the empire belongs to the empire my King."
"Commision me a meeting with the Hanma."
"Right away your majesty."
