39 Semifinal Round (Part II)
At the night after the -Preliminary Round- of the tournament, Master Wushu and his disciples had a celebratory feast for qualifying on the -Semifinal Round- of the tournament.
For the entire night, everyone were in festive mood. Even forgetting the trouble caused by Shams.
Singing together …
Complimenting one another …
Eating …
In the longest time, Shams realized how fortunate he was at the moment for having a second chance on having family.
Despite the experience of losing his real parents from a tragedy, he has now this second chance.
But he reminded himself with the promise he made to himself.
That he will be the most powerful, strongest and …
Whatever it takes and sacrifices to be made, Shams vowed to become the master of his own destiny through attaining immortality and taking over the role of deities.
Being attached to this second chance family is just a distraction for him.
So, he went outside and left everyone in their festive mood.
All disciples of Master Wushu were too engrossed in their celebratory mood.
Though, Master Wushu noticed Shams going outside.
As he followed him, he saw his youngest disciple laying down on the grass while watching the starry night.
Since all the disciple of Master Wushu qualified for the -Semifinal Round- of the tournament, the school of Master Wushu was given a bigger and more posh cottage for their stay in the city.
The difference from their previous cottage were,
[1] More spacious than the last one.
[2] The rooms are on the second floor while on the first floor was a very spacious dining room and a practice room.
[3] Lastly, their cottage was in a more private area. Having its own compound with lawn and small pond.
Shams was thinking about his former life and the realization that even in this new world. The stronger and more powerful ones were treated better and living a more luxurious life.
If you are weak and useless, you become a bottom feeder and being utilized by those in position and higher ranks for their own benefit.
He had become tired and sick of the societal hierarchy. Be confined by its laws and jurisdiction.
'I will reach the highest realm and replace those useless deities! If I have to become the worst then so be it … I will become the worst nightmare of the entire realm if needed be!' Shams declared to himself.
But Viper was listening to his loud thoughts.
It made the Mythical Beast amused by the unusual objectives and mind-set of Shams.
< Sss … You are indeed a marvel to wonder! I can't wait what happens in the future with all of this big scheme of yours. Just do not forget your promise for me! Offer everything to me and reach the highest realm. Defeat all those God Emperors! Aim to become a deity yourself! Sss … >
'Pft … Of course, I remember! Just do your job in providing me the power and strength I need then you will have nothing to worry about …' Shams reassured his mythical beast.
In the middle of their conversation, Master Wushu was observing him.
The old and powerful master was curious at Shams' unusual aura and behavior.
He has not seen someone in Shams' age to behave like the way he was.
Maybe it was due to his origins.
Coming originally from a former most noble clan that got obliterated by other jealous noble clan. Together with other sects who helped the Golden Dragon Sect to secretly obliterate the most noble amongst all clans in the Golden Dragon Sect, the Wolf Clan.
Master Wushu thought to himself while looking at Shams from a distance.
"Are you worried for him, master?" Feilong asked as he appeared behind Master Wushu.
"Yes, I am. As he grows, there is a certain force and power within him may emerge that not even I or any of you can stop. He has this destiny that my younger brother feared. Not only for himself but for the entire realms. But if we guide Ryoku … maybe this fear of his will only be a fear and will not turn into a reality." Master Wushu replied to Feilong, his most senior disciple.
"Ryoookuuuu !!!! Why are you alone??? Join us !!!" Maya exclaimed and the other younger disciples ran off towards Shams.
"Uggghhh!! Can't you see, I want to relax! It is semifinals tomorrow and I want us to gain the first place in the {Junior Rank} division." Shams explained to Maya.
"You said it right! We better get the first place in the {Junior Rank} division." Hawks reiterated haughtily.
But Billy and the others jumped on Shams. Other disciples started to bother Shams.
From a distance, Master Wushu had a wishful thinking.
"I hope we can be the good driving force for Shams. With proper guidance and friendships that he will be having with his peers." Master Wushu stated while Feilong listened earnestly.

On the day of Semifinals …
The entire arena of the tournament was fully occupied by the audience and excited crowd.
While the participants were waiting again in the lobby for the participants.
"GOOOOD MOOORRNNNIIING EVERYONE !!!! Are you all excited for the semifinals? Because I AM !!! Today, for the -Semifinal Round- of the tournament, the order will be the same. {Junior Rank} Division will be first. Though, the difference is with the difficulty level. That is why … the entire day is reserved for the -Semifinal Round- of the {Junior Rank} Division. In other words, we have full 3 days for the -Semifinal Round- of the tournament." The announcer of the tournament explained to the audience.
Some of the audience started to wonder.
"Where are the participants?" said by some of the audience.
"Are they in a different location again?" curiously wondered by the others.
While most of them waited for the announcer to finish his explanation.
"And I know most of you wonder … where are the participants? Well, all of our participants are in a secluded dungeon! To avoid any unnecessary damage or injury to any bystanders. For this round. The location is in a secluded dungeon. Where each team has to defeat a powerful and formidable -ARMORED TITAN- that all dungeon has the same level of titan. The 2 fastest team that will defeat this monstrous creature will be our qualifiers for the Grand Finale showdown!" the announcer further explained.
Loud cheers and excitement could be heard from the arena.
"Let the semifinals begin!!!!" The announcer loudly declared.

Advance Plea!
By March 7, it will be my birthday.
I plan to buy something special for my parents and order some seafood for my family. It is a favorite of my parents. Instead of asking a gift from them, I plan to give them a gift for raising me and sacrificing a lot for my education.
Once again, thank you so much!
