17 Chapter 17 Tournament (I)

One by one, the participants went up the platform to pick the lots.

Opening the paper Lim Su Ren saw a number 'thirteen' written on it. Bai Xianrong on the other hand got the number 'Eight'.

"I am at the front, I wonder who my opponent is", said Bai Xianrong with a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Whoever the opponent is, I am sure sister Xianrong will secure the spot for top forty at ease", said Lim Su Ren with a smile. She knew that with Bai Xianrong's strength, forget about the top forty, she can easily make it to the top ten.

"If I came across capable candidates for top ten like Chen Xiaonan, Yi Mingyu, Mu yao, and the Li Zhang Wei earlier, then the battle will be a tough one", Bai Xianrong said furrowing her eyebrows.

"That's for sure, let's wait and see how the tournament unfolds"

On the platform, the middle-aged man's voice sounded once again, "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Cao Chen welcome everyone to the Triennial tournament of Eastern Wind Empire. I now officially announced the start of the tournament. The participants with numbers one to five will battle first. But before that, all the participants should bear in mind that fatal attacks are forbidden and if anyone tries to take the life of an opponent, he or she will be kicked out of the tournament and will receive a punishment from the Disciplinary department of the empire. I hope everyone will abide by the rules, now, there are five stages here, I request the participants to come up and take the stage. Thank you"

Cao Chen stepped down from the platform after the announcement, while the first batch of participants went up the stages one by one.

Yi Mingyu surprisingly was on the first batch. His opponent who picked up the same number as Yi Mingyu had a face as if he had eaten a fly.

Soon, all the ten participants were standing on the five stages, each ready to showcase their skills and abilities to attract the attention of the elders from the Misty Mountain academy.

Once, the battle started, the crowd started to cheer and shout to show their support.

On the first stage, Yi Mingyu easily defeated his opponent with a single strike from his saber.

"What! Yi Mingyu defeated his opponent with just one move."

"The battle had just begun and he won just like that!"

"Yi Mingyu can easily make it to top five"

On the front seat of the VIP viewing section, the elders of the Misty Mountain Academy nodded their heads in satisfaction. Li Mingyu's battle stole the attention of the crowd ignoring the battles on the other four stages.

After the battle of the first batch ended, the second batch went up the stages. Bai Xianrong and Mu yao were in the second batch.

Bai Xianrong easily won the battle with one move as her opponent's strength was only at the seventh stage. While on the other hand, Mo Wuyao exchanges a few moves with his opponent before defeating his opponent.

"Elder Chen, this time, there are many good seeds, we are lucky", said Elder Long rubbing his chin.

Elder Chen laughed and said, "Haha.... indeed, it's only the second batch and there is already three of them with the potential to become an inner discipline"

Elder Chen and Elder Long were the ones responsible to recruit the top ten from the tournament.

After the end of the second batch, soon, it was Lim Su Ren's turn.

Surprisingly, Chen Xiaonan was also in the third batch. But his opponent was another person from Northern province.

Lim Su Ren's opponent turned out to be Chen Ziyi whose strength was also at the sixth stage.

Chen Ziyi opened her palm and a sharp double-edged sword appeared on her hand. On the other hand, Lim Su Ren didn't take out any weapons, she just stood calmly on the stage.

Looking at Lim Su Ren who was standing calmly without any weapons, Chen Ziyi sneered and said, "Overconfident"

Saying that Chen Ziyi leaped up and sent a sword attack towards Lim Su Ren.

Lim Su Ren quickly dodged the attack and shifted her position further back. This went on for a while. On the second stage, Chen Xiaonan defeated his opponent with a single move and went down the stage. He arrogantly looked towards Lim Su Ren and sneered before going back to his seat.

"If you are going to only dodge my attack then, admit defeat when I am being nice", said Chen Ziyi.

Lim Su Ren didn't say anything and continued to dodge the attacks sent out by Chen Ziyi which further angered Chen Ziyi.

"Very well, now take this, Shadowless sword"

Chen Ziyi executed one of her strongest moves, a shadowless sword, and thrust towards Lim Su Ren at a great speed.

This time Lim Su Ren didn't dodge the attack but instead chose to receive Chen Ziyi's attack head-on head.

Below the stage, many people were surprised at Lim Su Ren's action.

"Is she a fool, how can she take Chen Ziyi's shadowless sword"

"Lim Su Ren will lose this battle for sure"

"She is overconfident, not even using any kind of weapons"

At the stage, Lim Su Ren moved towards Chen Ziyi while sending out the first move of the Golden palm technique. After that, she quickly sent out a second move of the Golden palm technique canceling out the attack of the shadowless sword while her left hand sent out a third move of Golden palm technique infused with red flame at Chen Ziyi's chest.

Lim Su Ren sent out three consecutive palm attacks at a great speed that Chen Ziyi was caught off guard and was sent back ten meters on the stage. Getting up from the stage, Chen Ziyi holds her chest and coughed out a mouthful of blood. The last palm move was infused with a red flame so its attack ability was increased by three folds. Chen Ziyi could not believe that she was defeated so quickly by Lim Su Ren.

"Elder Chen, this little lass is not simple, we should recruit her at any cost", said Elder long who was smiling from ear to ear.
