The Girl With The Golden-Red Dress
"Qingsu..I didn't mean those words, It was just that I was enraged at your great talent.. compared to your talent, I couldn't even hold a candle." A tear fell from Lan Lei's eyes as he saw how angry Qingsu was with him. They had always been best friends since childhood, but after that incident, she never talked with him again.
"Why Lan Lei!? We Could've grown together!?!? Became stronger and fought the world with our palms blocking the the sun's cruel rays from each other's eyes. You really had to say those words to me didn't you!" The anger in her eyes grew but a tear also fell from her eye before it was frozen into ice.
"I.. I forfeit" Lan Lei couldn't bear the anger and sadness in Yu Qingsu's eyes and walked off the stage.
"Yu Qingsu wins by forfeit, next"
When Lan Lei returned back to his area, the elder of the Lightning devouring sect was so angry at his actions he actually slapped Lan Lei twice. Yu Qingsu couldn't help but feel a little worried for him, but she couldn't do anything about it after the scene she had just caused.
The tenth battle was obviously not as entertaining as the previous one, there was no drama or powerful people fighting. So, after some more time, the tenth battle also concluded.
"Eleventh battle, Liu Zhong of the Golden Pupil Faction versus Zhou Xinqiu, young mistress of the Zhou family"
"Zhou Xinqiu Jie Jie! Good Luck!!" Yu Ling smiled sweetly and Zhou Xinqiu rubbed the top of her head before glancing at Yu Qingsu who nodded her head.
"Hm, brother Zhou He, now allow me to show you how I've taught your daughter" Zhou Ye had a huge smirk on his face while he folded his arms and stared at the battle stage as a girl in a golden-red dress walked on to it and stared at her opponent like one would stare at one's prey.
"Pretty girl, if beauty was a power, I would be dead already. What a shame, but your beauty won't be wasted if you come be my wife." Liu Zhong, Liu Yan's cousin laughed menacingly as a nefarious flame grew in his eyes.
"Hm" Zhou Xinqiu began to levitate before 3 palms appeared behind her. "Nine sword dance, seventh stance - annihilation sword lotus" seven illusory versions of her stepped out and each contained a sharp sword aura.
"Fine pretty girl, you want to play hard to get? Then here it is! PUPIL MANIPULATION!" Liu Zhong's eyes turned gold as he tried to stare into Zhou Xinqiu's mind. "CRAP!" His mind attack was smashed by her powerful soul which almost devoured his consciousness, he escaped just in time but he got a horrible headache.
"Hm? You are weaker than that Mountain Dragon Ape" Zhou Xinqiu's eyes flashed red as her soul relaxed and she stared at his groaning self. "Take out the trash!" The seven illusory bodies slashed towards Liu Zhong who tried to escape but failed to because of his splitting headache. The seven sword arcs slashed into him lacerating his body before they traveled back into Zhou Xinqiu's palm. "This next attack is the same attack that killed that mountain dragon ape that is stronger than you" She played with his mind trying to scare him.
"Huh!? Y-you can't kill.." He stuttered and tried to find a way to block the next attack.
"Yep, but you CAN admit defeat if you don't want to take any chances" She tilted her head and gave off a cheerful smile suddenly. "haha after all, I truly don't know how much damage this can do either." She shrugged and opened her palm and a beautiful lotus sat inside.
"I ADMIT DEFEAT!" Liu Zhong finally had enough and ran off the stage.
"Zhou Xinqiu is the winner, next"
She walked back to her seat smiling at Yu Ling and Yu Qingsu.
"Wow, Xinqiu is very domineering hahaha" Yu Qingsu teased her while making room for Zhou Xinqiu to sit down.
"Aiya, that boy was just too weak. If it was someone stronger, that attack wouldn't have been able to do too much other than slightly injure them if they weren't paying attention." Zhou Xinqiu laughed and continued conversing with the girls as the twelfth battle passed.
"Thirteenth battle, Yu Ling of the Ice Crystal Faction versus Hua Su of the Flower scent Faction."
"Yu Ling, do your best, Xinqiu and I are rooting for you!" Yu Ling jumped up and ran to the stage smiling. This battle was really a weird sight. Both Yu Ling and her opponent were cute young girls who smiled all the time.
"Don't worry, Yu Ling and Hua Su are both at the seventh level of body tempering, and since Yu Ling has a mysterious Ice body foundation, she will definitely win." Yu Qingsu saw Zhou Xinqiu's face worry a little bit and so she tried to explain that Yu Ling was also extraordinary.
"What will you do about Lan Lei?" Zhou Xinqiu turned her head and asked.
"Oi, don't talk about those things!" Yu Qingsu tried to brush off the topic.
"I can see you still like him, and you know how much of a big deal this event is for the young generation of the Zhou Sect. He must really like you if he decided to give it up for you." Zhou Xinqiu ignored her and continued talking. "I am just an outsider of this after all, but I think he wants to truly apologize to you."
"Lets watch the battle.." Yu Qingsu's face has a small smile and another tear fell down her face before she turned to face the stage. Zhou Xinqiu smiled in a comforting way and hugged her before they both looked up at the stage and watched the battle between the two young girls.
"Daisy creation - beam of destruction" a giant daisy grew out of the floor before a light beam came out of the center of the flower and rushed for Yu Ling's head.
"Ice manifesto mirror!" A huge shard of ice appeared in front of Yu Ling blocking the beam and reflecting it back to the daisy destroying it whole and slamming into Hua Su's petite body. Yu Ling lifted her hand and slammed it down and the shard of ice followed her palm rushing down to Hua Su's throat stopping just 1 centimeter away.
"Yu Ling wins, next"
"Wow! Sister Yu Ling is so strong, I hope I can one day catch up to you!" Hua Su's eyes glowed as she bowed to Yu Ling and walked back to her seat as did Yu Ling. After Yu Ling's battle came to a close, two more battles commenced and the second round of elimination was finally over.
