Let's play

Wang Jun looked at his father with a face full of surprise as he said " What? "

The Emperor frowns and says " You hear me, son, I want you to lose the battle no matter who your opponent is, you will fight and lose "

Wang Jun frowned as he took two steps back, this was the first time that his father asked him something like that, what about the honor of the Imperial family? what about his pride? If he loses like that how will he face Yue in the future, his wife was everything to him, and despite her cold attitude he still loves her so he says with a defiant voice " No, father, I will not lose on purpose "

Wang Yong knew that something like this would happen, his fight grandson was just like him, a prideful warrior yet he said " Jun'er, this time I won't take your side, you better lose your first battle or there will be consequences for your actions "

Wang Jun looked at his grandfather with a shocked expression he was as well asking him something unreasonable so he gritted his teeth and said " As you wish grandfather " Then he turned around and left but he won't do that even if there were consequences

Wang Yong and the Emperor watched his departing figure with frowning expressions then Wang Yong said " We can't risk him to fight the one named Callion, the Supreme Elder's artifact showed that he is as strong as Jin Zhong, and if he has the Golden Tyran'ts abilities his life will be in danger "

The Emperor clenched his fists until they were bleeding then he said with gritting teeth " Goddamit, we can't manipulate the battles or that monster Shallot will know, what a f*cking humiliation! "

" We can do something about the other one, the one named Dakon he isn't that strong yet he is almost as strong as Jun'er, who will think that the thrash of the Chen clan would grow so much " Wang Yong said with a frowning expression then he said to the Emperor " Let's go we have to get ready " and both of them left unknowingly to them someone heard everything they said 

A young woman whispered with surprise " Big sister Xue the thrash of the Chen clan, isn't he... " That young woman was Ying Jie who just wanted to talk with Wang Jun who thought she will hear something so shocking

Lan Xue who was always near Ying Jie or Ying Yue frowned with frustration and said " Chen Kai, there is no doubt about it, but how, he should have died "

" That thrash, we can't let my big sister know he is alive " Ying Jie frowned at Lan Xue who nodded at her then she said " I agree they seemed to want to kill him, let's just hope they succeed "

-----------------------------------------------------

Shallot looked at the Emperor's mansion from the sky smiling slightly at it ' They better do what I asked, the end of this tournament will be fun ' Shallot smiled widely suddenly he felt a breeze of wind coming from his back that wind was weird it felt almost like a touch so he turns around quickly but when he didn't see anything he frowned saying " What the hell? "

Then he looked to his right and saw a green-haired and veiled beauty floating a few meters near him, Shallot made a confused expression at the sight of the woman, he couldn't feel her energy in the slightest even if she was so close to him so he frowns and says " You... who are you "

" Haha " The woman chuckles at Shallot's words then she raises her right hand showing him the small bag she had on it

Shallot opens his eyes wide in surprise and searches for the bag in his robe and when he doesn't find it he smiles slightly at the woman " I didn't even notice when you took it, interesting "

The woman laughs once again and puts her hands behind her back then *SWOOSH* she flies away at an incredible speed Shallot looks surprised and then *SWOOSH* he chases her leaving a trail of blue light behind him

The woman's speed was incredible she was even leaving Shallot behind. Shallot experiencing that smiles as he thinks ' She isn't from the lower realm, and that hair ' Then *SWOOSH* A red aura appeared around him causing Shallot's speed to double, he was catching the woman but when he stretched his hand to grab her she vanishes in an instant, Shallot stops looking even more shocked ' Teleportation? ' He couldn't feel the woman's energy so he searched for her in the air and as he guessed she was floating a few meters behind him. Shallot smiles again for some reason she isn't angry instead he says " You wanna fight? if it's you, I will be able to transform with consequences "

The woman shakes her head slightly and throws the bag to Shallot who watches it with his left hand then she says " We will see each other later "and in an instant, she disappears

Shallot shook his head slightly with a grinning face then muttered to himself " That was the space shift technique, Who would thought that she would surpass me already " Shallot frowned and thinks ' She used that space shift to decent? ' then he shook his head ' It doesn't matter she doesn't seem to be hostile and for her sake, she better stay like that or she wouldn't be able to escape from that bastard even if she jumps between realms ' Then Shallot turns around and flew towards the empire

------------------------------------------------------

The day of the tournament

The crowd gathered around the platforms Shallot was one of the first ones to arrive there and since his visit to the Emperor's palace the leaders of the surrounding sects looked at him differently, showing respect and mostly fear, while the ones who still didn't know anything about him were unfazed by his presence

After some time Callion arrived and stood next to Shallot then he said " Now let's end this quickly I have other things to do after this " Callion began to stretch his arms as Shallot ignored him and a few seconds later Chen Kai arrived

Shallot this time turned around to see him when he noticed the change in his ki, which tripled in the last night and he thought with doubt ' He used his zenkai to get stronger but his zenkai just like the skinny brat should be limited, how is that possible '

Chen Kai's strength not only raised he also looked different, his long hair was gone replaced by spiky short burned hair, and his expression was colder yet calm, but the most notorious thing in him was the big hole in his vest showing his six pack completely

Shallot grins at the sight and says to him " Remember to don't overuse the zenkai, you don't even have 25% of the bloodline, it will only harm your body at some point "

Chen Kai moves his eyes to see Shallot and says " Understood " Then he keeps his eyes on the platforms 

Callion smirks at Chen Kai but he is confident in his current strength

On the other side of the place Lang Lin, Yuan Ning, Wuhan, and Teacher Shen arrived, Lang Lin searched for Chen Kai in the crowd and when she finally found him she couldn't believe what she was seeing " It's over there Teacher Shen "

" That Kid... " Whispered Teacher Shen with surprise as well

" He isn't putting his ancestors in his eyes anymore? what the hell is wrong with him?! " Even Wuhan said with anger looking at Chen Kai, every man left their hair grown for love or respect to their ancestors and family only those who cut it do it because they are orphans or they don't respect their linage, so seeing Chen Kai new looks confirmed that he doesn't put his family in his eyes anymore

" I will go to talk to him " Said Lang Lin with resolution but Teacher Shen put a hand on her shoulder and when she turned around to see him he shook his head to say " No, you can meddle in his affairs, besides, I doubt he will greet you with open arms right now " Lang Lin looked at Teacher Shen in surprise as Teacher Shen looked at Chen Kai whose expression changed from the last time, he has a very cold expression nothing he had shown before ' The kid isn't the same as before '

Yaun Ning grabbed Lang Lin's hand and with a sad smile she said " We can talk to him after the tournament, maybe it's just a facade " Lang Lin nodded at Yuan Ning then she turned to see Chen Kai with a yearning expression

A few minutes later, the Emperor appeared on the balcony, and the crowd cheered at the sight of the elegant man, the emperor smiled and with a powerful voice, he said " The day has finally come!! Everyone thank you for your presence!! Now as I mentioned before there would be a preliminary battle to find only the 28 best fighters of the smaller sects with the exclusion of these four "

The Emperor raised his arm shinning with a yellow light and a few letters flew to the sky the letters increased their size enough for to everyone see them then they formed 4 names 

" What the hell " Said Callion with annoyance while Chen Kai frowned seeing that even Shallow was confused

The four names were Wang Jun, Jin Zhong, Dakon and Callion

" Dakon? Callion? Who the hell are those weird-named guys? " A young man whispered with confusion

" They must have some kind of major talent of the big sects just like Jin Zhong " Another one answered

Shallot, on the other hand, smiles coldly looking at the emperor on the balcony as he thinks' So this is what they planned, they didn't put any more exclusions and put those two there, they won't want them to fight soon for some reason, maybe they are preparing some kind of countermeasures if they did this will be interesting '

Shallot puts his hand under his robe and takes out a small bag, he opens the small bag takes out two pitch black rings, and says " Hey brats these are yours " Chen Kai and Callion turn to see him and Shallot throw the rings to them

Callion sees the ring when he catches it and says " What is this? " While Chen Kai said calmly " A Spacial Ring, shouldn't they be useless to us? "

Shallot grins and says " Not anymore, brats, just concentrate your ki to use it "

Chen Kai already knew how to use a Spacial Ring so he didn't have any problems using it, he took his money and senzu beans and stored them in the ring, while Callion had some difficulty using it but after a quick tutorial from Shallot he managed to as well store his Senzu Beans and money he had then Shallot asks them " How many Senzu beans do you still have brats? " 

Chen Kai turns to see him with a neutral expression and says " I have 9 " while Callion frowns and says " I only have 6 " Shallot doesn't know it but Callion has lost 2 of them

Shallot smirks and says " Too bad you won't get any more of them but... " Then from the bag he takes out a small yellow jewel and both of them open their eyes in surprise, then Callion says " Is that... "

Shallot grins and says " Yes, it's a raw knowledge gem, one with a very powerful technique " Greed flashed through Chen Kai's eyes while Callion smiled with desire 

Shallot then with a wide smile says " You want it? You have to win it by doing something for me " and both of them frown at his words, they know that he is planning something and it has to be with their exclusion of the preliminaries
