14 quarter finals (1)

after a series of continued matches Yue Yang and seven other participants remain thus Yue Hai declares the end of the first day of the tournament

---Tournament's field, Yue Yang's private room---

Morning,a new day has began but no light enters in the room due to the lack of windows. Yue Yang slowly opens his eyes and to his disappointment nobody greets him so he lightly stretches and goes out of the room

---Tournament's field, open area---

Yue Yang meets with Xue Wu Xia and Saeko on the seats and after a few seconds an unexpected person comes. It is Yue Tian

"Yue Yang, I cannot wait for our match to begin so that I can show you who truly deserves to be Wu Xia's husband"

Yue Yang doesn't answer him but he swiftly approaches Wu Xia and kisses her on her lips. Wu Xia look at him with wide eyes.

"..." she does not blush but it is obvious that her condition is not normal

"youu!" Yue Tian shouts and goes away

after making sure that Yue Tian is gone he lowers is head towards Wu Xia and apologizes

"sorry"

she looks at him and thinks

'I won't forgive you simply because you apologize. after we get back I will make sure to punish you'

although Yue Yang hears her thoughts he doesn't plan to avoid her rage. he is aware that kissing her after they met for less than a month and when she is only ten years old is not appropriate.

---tournament's field, battle grounds---

Yue Yang and Yue Tian are currently staring at each other, the whole arena is in total silence.

Yue Tian looks at Yue Yang and takes out his grimoire. Yue Yang cannot help but notice that Yue Tian's grimoire is bronze ranked-intermediate

Yue Tian notices his gaze and thinks

' are you impressed by my cultivation? as expected from a trash like you but it's to late to surrender and even if you do I won't accept it'

the reason for Yue Yang's shock is due to the rank of Yue Tian's grimoire as this brings him worry

'If the rank of an unimportant character such as Yue Tian is already higher than my own how much stronger are those that are important? aren't I in a really bad situation?also it seems the plan to anger him was successful'

after a few seconds Yue Yang's expression returns to normal and he grabs the hilt of Kakuya

Yue Hai indicates the beginning of the match

"Begin!"

Yue Yang extracts Kakuya from its sheath and prepares to fight. At the same time Yue Tian summons a Bronze-rank Flaming Lion from his grimoire .

The lion roars and bounces towards Yue Yang.

Yue Yang activates silent steps and makes a side step, then he jumps backwards .

Seeing as it missed it's target the flaming lion attacks him once again .

In response Yue Yang side steps once again and slashes at the lion with the back of the blade, the lion is thrown away .

Almost at the same time Yue Yang uses silent steps once again and approaches Yue Tian, who, after seeing his fight with the flaming lion, is too shocked to react

'I better finish this now before he recovers and uses his other beasts otherwise it will not end well'

Yue Yang puts his blade on Yue Tian's neck and calmly says

"it's my win"

feeling the cold metal touching his neck Yue Tian returns to his senses and looks at Yue Yang in disbelief

"how could I lose.."

Yue Hai shouts

"the result has been decided. the first match is Yue Yang's victory!"

after his match Yue Yang returns to his seat and speaks to Wu Xia

"well, I won. now it's your brother's turn"

she answers

"I know, but I am not worried about him. he is not going to fight against someone strong"

"how do you know?"

"his opponent is not well known and she is not a genius"

"I am not well known but I still am a genius, you know?"

"I was talking about humans. you are clearly not one"

hearing her he pouts

'are you trying to vent your rage through calmer means?'

she notices his expression so she answers

"I am not" 'yes, just a little bit'

'so she is venting her rage through calmer means. I'm grateful for that'

while the two are talking, the fight has begun but it seems that they have not yet noticed it. Seeing them act that way saeko looks at them in amusement but as they are in their own world they don't notice her

some individuals who were secretly watching them turn towards the arena and feel as if they had just wasted time

"so, what did you think of my fight?"

Wu Xia answers him

"I suppose it was barely acceptable"

while she is saying this, she doesn't dare to look at his face. she herself knows that his fight was fantastic but since she is supposedly angry at him she doesn't wish to admit it

Boom!

"I refuse to lose like thiiss!"

ice explosions and voices full of determination are heard in the background

"is that so?"

"yes" 'no, I am lying'

"then I will show you an even more amazing fight and I will make it very flashy"

BOOM!

"..." 'please don't'

"by the way..."

"what is it, Yang?"

"I feel like I heard an explosion a few seconds ago"

"I think you are right"

the two then look towards the arena

"I recognize the fact that you are a worthy opponent of this I,Xue Tan Lang! so let me show you the absolute ice! oh, and don't worry. I will make sure that you don't die"

"As if! I will show you that even if I can't use any attribute I,Yue Ming!will win!"

"well said! come at me!"

BOOM!

at the same time Yue Hai shouts

"the result has been decided. the second match is Xue Tan Lang's victory!"

Yue Yang and Xue Wu Xia look at each other in blank dismay

"Wu Xia, what just happened?"

"I...I don't know"

"..."

"..."
