46 Silver Moon's City Competition (2)
"Now... the fuck am I going to do?" Yan Shun thought as he walked towards the giant arena he had seen earlier.
He took a few minutes to calm down and then decided to go directly to the arena. He was tired of seeing Luo Qing having fun.
'By the way, how am I supposed to defeat your own creator?'
[...You could also say that I am one of his reincarnations, but I don't have a body and simply got manifested as a "System".]
[As for the reason I said that he was my creator, it's simply because it's a bit true since we're both from the same "origin".]
'And why would you want to defeat yourself?'
[Because only one of us can remain alive.]
'Can't you both simply fuse with each other or something like that?' Yan Shun asked.
[...Not really. I'm the soul and he's the body, so if we fuse we're simply destroying ourselves.]
[And before you ask, it's different from your situation from when you talked with your "Yang" self.]
[We both have "Primordial Spirits", so unless one of us dies, the balance of the universe will crumble.]
'And why I was chosen to fight on your 'esteem'...?' Yan Shun asked with af ain't teasing tone.
[...]
[You... have a Devil Fetus on your body.]
[You are literally the incarnation of "Evil" itself, and he's the incarnation of "Good".]
[So, you were bound to be enemies anyway. As for me, I'm "nothingness". So, I can simply choose to support you and try to kill the other 'me' or simply wait to be absorbed by him.]
'And why the fuck didn't you tell me about this sooner?' Yan Shun complained.
[Well, I didn't have my whole memories. Only after I saw the other "me" I actually regained them.]
'Wait a second... you're a woman and he's a guy! How the fuck are you two the same person!?'
[Well... The reason we died was because of the Yin-Yang Law and that separated us in two parts, Yin and Yang, just like you, but well, not exactly like you.]
[Since there was already a strong "Yin" that it is you, I was transformed into "nothingness".]
[Strangely, it seems that the Yin-Yang Law is directly related to you... so, maybe you were some kind of god.]
[I say this, because, there isn't supposed for a person to have two personalities that are related to the Yin-Yang Law.]
'Sigh... So fucking troublesome...'
"Brother Yan, follow me! We have the VIP tickets obviously." Luo Qing dragged Yan Shun around until they reached a luxurious room.
It had a beautiful aroma and it was exquisitely decorated, not to mention the vision to the arena that was simply perfect.
"Huh...? Am I not supposed to sign up or something?" Yan Shun tilted his head and asked Luo Qing.
"Oh, about that, anyone can enter the arena. They just need to have age below 50." Luo Qing explained.
He looked at Yan Shun and noticed his confused expression, so he continued his speech.
"Basically, there's a huge array around the arena and if someone that is above 50 years tried to enter the arena, he's directly going to be killed."
"Killed...?"
"Yup, no mercy at all. Especially, since there is going to be a lot of HUGE powerhouses from the three great sects."
"And since it's the 1000th Competition, every Sect Leader of each sect will be present, so good luck brother!" Luo Qing tapped Yan Shun's shoulder.
At that moment, Yan Shun froze for a while...
"Doesn't that mean that which is going to be here!?" He uttered.
"Witch...?"
"Yaochi!"
"Oh, yeah, that witch... Wait, what!? Why the fuck are you calling her a witch? Do you know what kind of trouble we'll get if she heard you!?" Luo Qing grabbed his shoulders and started pushing back and forth.
However, Yan Shun remained frozen...
"Wake up!" He quickened the pace!
SLAP!
"Stop it, you're being annoying." Yan Shun directly slapped Luo Qing's face and sat down in his seat.
He grabbed a few grapes and threw them in his mouth.
"Huh? These grapes have Qi?" He spoke with a strange tone.
"Of course, we're VIPS for a reason!" Luo Qing said proudly.
At that instant, a massive aura filled the sky, and Yan Shun's eyes quickly narrowed.
Yaochi herself emerged in the sky, her features strikingly beautiful, yet with a hint of something not quite right.
If her curse were lifted, she'd probably be the most beautiful woman in the whole universe.
But, of course, no one dared to bring up anything related to that curse.
She gracefully flew to her seat, which somehow looked more divine than anything else in the arena.
Following her, two more extraordinary auras permeated the space, and the figures of two middle-aged men came into view.
Both of them had long beards... Ahem.
"I greet the Heavenly Goddess!" Both of them cupped their hands, betting their body a bit too great Yaochi.
At that moment, the whole audience did the same as them, but Yan Shun did not... which somehow did go unnoticed.
"Ah... you're crazy dude! That surely disrespected her..." Luo Qing whispered to Yan Shun.
Pop!
"Ouch..." Luo Qing held his head in pain as Yan Shun suddenly gave it a smack.
"Shut up," Yan Shun retorted.
THRUMM!
Suddenly, in the middle of the arena, a middle-aged man materialized. He glanced at the audience and began to speak.
"Hey everyone, welcome to the 1000th Annual Competition!" His voice echoed throughout the entire audience.
"As you all know, this competition is a yearly affair, and today marks its 1000th edition!"
"So, in celebration, we're spicing things up a bit! Instead of the usual cutoff at 50 years old..."
"It's now extended to 100 years old!" He announced.
Upon hearing this...
"OOOHHHHHH!! FINALLY!"
The whole audience erupted in cheers!
After all, some had missed the last competition due to breakthroughs, and they couldn't interrupt their progress just to join in.
"The rules are straightforward! It's a free-for-all, and the last ten standing will earn spots in the three sects!"
"And since we had a few problems last year, the competition stops immediately after ten participants are left!"
"Now... everyone ready to join, head to the arena!" He said with a big grin.
In an instant, a multitude of people rose from their seats and entered the massive arena. The audience numbers quickly dwindled.
"I guess I'll go now..." Yan Shun sighed a bit.
It seemed the heavens really didn't like him; they chose to extend the age limit to 100 just when he decided to participate.
"Good luck! I'll be cheering for you!" Luo Qing waved his hand with a big smile on his face.
So, Yan Shun flew into the arena and multiple eyes arrived on his body as he did so.
"What is he doing here?"
"Yeah... his cultivation is so low!"
"Does this guy have some mental problems or something?"
"Exactly... the only thing this guy has... it's his... ahm... uhh..."
"Immaculate beauty?"
"Yeah, that... That does put me down... I used to think I was handsome, but looking at him..."
"Sigh... I agree with you."
He placed his hand on the shoulder of the other guy who envied Yan Shun. Yan Shun got black lines on his face after hearing them...
'Looking at them will just lower my IQ...' He moved to another side.
'So, what's our plan on stealing his opportunity? I can indeed beat him if I use all my trump cards, but what exactly is his opportunity?'
[His opportunity should be joining one of the three great sects... So, I'm afraid you'll need to eliminate him.]
'Ugh... So troublesome! You should at least give me a reward for this then!' Yan Shun complained.
[Quest: Eliminate Jiang Cheng from the competition.]
[Reward: 'That' without using the affection system's rewards.]
'Heh, that's what I'm talking about... However, I'm not really sure about this... Pangu's Axe...'
'That's a bit...'
[He'll not use it. I can feel it! Besides, if he showed the Pangu Axe here, he would die directly.]
[It's a Primordial Weapon after all.]
[And those powerhouses... are really greedy.]
'That's a relief...'
"Well... It seems that everyone that wants to join is already here! So, I'll be explaining just a small detail."
"Everyone is allowed to kill! If you want to quit, just step out of the arena and head back to your seat to watch the battle."
"That's it..."
"So... let the 1000th Competition start!"
