Du Xiangling

"The martial tiger dojo! The one that uncle Du was talking about. Didn't he say that the dojo was filled with maniacs who did nothing but fight?" I recollected what Uncle Du had said.

Du* Xiangling started approaching me. He had a sword in his hands, so that much was apparent. My spear went back to the resting state and I looked at him warily. He was a new opponent, and this time, it was an actual serious opponent. I could not afford to be very negligent.

"Kirin slashes through the mountains!" Du Xiangling shouted as his sword disappeared from his hands. His whole arm blurred.

Clang!

My spear moved to the right, deflecting his strike. I took a few steps back to put some distance between us. At this point, I could not allow him to close on me. That would put me in a huge disadvantage.

Blue Dragon spear art first form!

A huge growl sounded, and a blue dragon appeared. The spear cut pierced forward, undeterred. Du Xiangling was not like the others in the Liu Family. Instead of facing it head on, like an idiot, he frantically moved aside, trying to dodge. Atleast he had some battlesense.

The spear lost too much power by the time that it reached him, and he could strike it away with his sword. I took the spear back and took another deep breath.

"This guy knows how to fight alright. But I really do not want to use my trump cards on a fight like this. I really want to beat him with just the first three forms." I told myself as I jumped up in the air.

Where I was previously, Du Xiangling reappeared. He looked up and nodded with respect.

"The rumors were not wrong. You really are a dark house. To think that you would hide your ability for so long. I am truly impressed that you were able to do this." he said.

"I don't care about the rumors. Let us just fight." I snorted.

"Good!" he smiled.

I landed a few feet away from him, and he rushed towards me.

Blue Dragon Spear Art, Second Form.

The spear rose up and headed towards his head. I had no intention for mercy at this point. If I had to believe what my Uncle had said, then this man would not quit until he was at death's foot steps. I had to push him off the arena to win.

Du Xiangling looked at the incoming spear and he crouched forward. I frowned as I brought the spear crashing down on him. But his figure flickered, and he appeared a few feet away.

"He has a movement technique as well. They are so goddamn annoying. I need to learn one for myself, goddamn it. I think I will get a suitable one in the sect and see what I can do about this one part." I made a mental note.

"The flickering ghost step! He mastered the flickering ghost step!!" someone in the audience shouted with astonishment.

"Thanks for the heads-up. At least I know what kind of step I will be up against." I nodded at the person who shouted it out.

Clang!

I fell forward and staggered to find my balance. I looked back to see who was the one who had striked me down.

"You bastard. How much of a coward do you have to be to strike someone like me, someone who you have disregarded for the past years, in the back?" I shouted with anger. The one who had struck me was none other than Cai Yanlin!

"Idiots like you belong in the dust. Not on the ring." Cai Yanlin laughed.

I took a few steps back, standing right in between Du Xiangling and Cai Yanlin. Du Xiangling was not moving. He had no intention of striking me down even though I was at a disadvantage.

"I am not so dishonorable to claim a victory by using another hand. Please complete that fight and then I shall continue to humor you." he said righteously.

"It is good to know that there are at least some people in the city that are honorable like you are. You have my respect. Now just give me a few moments so that I can show this donkey some respect!" I shouted with fury.

I looked at Cai Yanlin. I wanted to kill him. Qi escaped me. It was just ready to hammer down upon him. He was not in the foundation establishment stage. He was merely in the Qi Condensation stage! My spear flew forward. No technique, nothing. It just went towards his stomach, where his dantian was supposed to be.

"Cai Yanlin eliminated. Liu Feng, this is your first and last warning. If you attempt to kill anyone, you will be disqualified." the judge looked at me from up above, and Cai Yanlin disappeared from where he stood. He reappeared outside the stage.

"I am disqualified? How does this make sense? I did not even take his attack. I could easily neutralize it. This is not fair!" he shouted.

"Cai Yanlin is disqualified. Cai family, please take care of your young ones and teach them some disrespect. This old one does not wish to use a heavy hand on this joyous day." the judge said.

I had no time to look at what was going on with Cai Yanlin. I looked at Du Xiangling. He was back to looking at me with fighting intent. He rushed towards me, pouncing like a tiger. Pouncing exactly like a tiger, infact! I could hear the growl of a tiger.

"He achieved mastery of a tiger art, clearly. I need to be careful. I do not want to have an unnecessary variable like the fight against Liu Xin." I thought as I raised my spear into a defensive stance.

*different Du from Uncle Du
