Chapter 13 Bu Nan's Luck

Performing the customary greeting of Gu Gongy World, they bowed as each other.

Guang Chan released his life spirit, it was a whale and it occupies 1/4 of the battle arena.

Zhu Mingxia released her life spirit, it was a fiery whip, manifesting a whip with her energy qi as a xiantian realm cultivator, she lashed out towards Guang Chan with enough strength to pieces a rock.

Guang Chan used raised his fist as he punched towards the the whip.

Bang...., Guang Chan was pushed back as his hand was dripping blood from the impact with the whip.

"You are not my match, admit defeat and you won't be hurt," Zhu Mingxia said as she raised her whip, ready to deliver another attack.

Looking at his injured hand and then at Zhu Mingxia, Guang Chan said, "I never knew you were this strong. How about this, say that you will date me and I promise to admit defeat."

Hearing what Guang Chan said, Zhu Mingxia face turned red with anger as she ruthlessly lashed out with her whip.

Seeing the attack, Guang Chan punched out a series of times before he could deplete the energy of the attack.

"If you won't date me, why not just tell me, than to lash at me," saying so, he took out the halberd hanging at his back, "let see how you do after taking this attack, maybe you will regret not accepting my proposal, but I can still change my mind." Guang Chan said as he holds the halberd, burning his body energy to perform his technique.

Hearing what Guang Chan said, Zhu Mingxia didn't get angry as she could feel the aura emitting from Guang Chan's body.

Pouring in more energy qi into the manifested whip in her hand, Zhu Mingxia swung it around to gather more momentum as she lashed it at Guang Chan.

Feeling the power behind the whip, Guang Chan used his family's mortal rank battle technique, *Overflowing Disaster.*

The phantom of a monstrous Whale appeared behind him, two times bigger than his life spirit, occupying 1/2 of the battle arena.

Striking down with the halberd, Guang Chan was like a Warlord with enough strength to destroy an entire city.

Making contact with the whip, the halberd passed through with no resistance from the whip.

"I admit defeat," Zhu Mingxia shouted as she felt fear for her life.

Stopping the attack, Guang Chan was not looking good himself, blood could be seen at the both corners of his mouth and both his ears.

"Do you regret rejecting me, now?" Guang Chan asked as he smiled sheepishly.

"Hmph, I don't regret anything," Zhu Mingxia said as she left the battle stage.

Winner is Guang Chan, advancing into the next round.

Coming down from the battle stage, Guang Chan could feel countless eyes centred at him, but it was not a respectful gaze but anger could be felt coming off the eyes.

Looking bewildered as he didn't know how he offended these people.

"Guang Chan, how dare you say such shameless thing to Miss Zhu Mingxia, are you tired of living? Hu Zixin said, surprising everyone.

Looking at Hu Zixin, Guang Chan asked, "does what I said to Zhu Mingxia have anything to do with you? if not, mind your business, if I want to date her I will ask, if you want to date her, why don't you just ask."

"I will advice you to know how you talk, before you lose your voice without knowing why," Hu Zixin said, advising Guang Chan like a senior lecturing a junior.

"Don't tell me how I should use my voice. If not because I got my eyes at getting into the 1st three positions, so as to get the dantian formation pill that will help in creating a stronger dantian, I would have also broken through to the xiantian realm," Guang Chan said as he walked to where he was standing.

Elder Anki said, "this round of battle is over and 7 participants made it to the next round. You will all be given two hours to get ready for the next round."

The people who qualified are:

1. Bu Nan - body tempering realm

2. Tao Shanyuan - xiantian realm

3. Hu Zixin - xiantian realm

4. Tu Feng - body tempering realm

5. Wu Lan - body tempering realm

6. Lu Jin - body tempering realm

7. Guang Chan - body tempering realm

Coming back to the battle stage, Elder Anki brought out a box and numbers to be picked were inside.

"You are seven participants, so one person will automatically qualify for the next round, the qualifying number will be no. 1, your luck will be tested," Elder Anki said as he opened the box for the students to pick.

After everyone picked hoping to get the lucky number, disappointment could be seen on the faces on some students, showing that they didn't acquire no. 1.

"No. 1 should step out," elder Anki called.

Thud, thud, thud, footsteps were held as Bu Nan came out, looking at this, Lu Jin could not help but shake his head as he said to Tu Feng, "Try to have a backing anywhere and everywhere, as it will help make your way up the food chain easier."

"Yes," Tu Feng said as he looked at Bu Nan while thinking of what his master said.

4 years alone in this world with the law of the jungle, governing it, Lu Jin knew better than to counter the plots of someone who can easily kill him without even acting and capable of making his life a living hell.

Some people could figure out what Lu Jin figured out, but they too did not say anything but kept watching.

Unexpectedly, someone who couldn't read the situation spoke out, "Elder, is there a mistake, Bu Nan was able to get no. 1 twice in a row, I don't agree," Tao Shanyuan said as he stared at Bu Nan.

"Are you saying that I don't know how to set the selection, I said before you all started that this is all base on luck and now you are fabricating a story that I made a mistake, are you questioning my abilities as an elder? elder Anki said as he stared at Tao Shanyuan.

Feeling the aura being emitted by Elder Anki, Tao Shanyuan could not help but said, "I dare not, I was saying that maybe Bu Nan might have cheated to repeatedly getting no. 1."

Seeing as Tao Shanyuan still not willing to drop the matter, Lu Jin could not help but say softly enough for only Tu Feng to hear what he said, "without experiencing the cruelty and ruthlessness of the cultivation world, you won't know the schemes and desires a cultivator could fathom, even I was almost killed by Bu Nan and Gu Wuchen because I didn't expect to be betrayed by someone from my academy in a competition against another force."

"Master is right, my dad told me that in this world, never trust anyone, that is why the Heavenly Dao acknowledged the oath, Tu Feng said.

"Don't bother about it, just don't try to get yourself into a mess that doesn't concern you, especially if the conjurer of the mess is not someone that you can take on with your strength, and understand that your strength does not only have to do with your cultivation level, but the power backing you, not because of your talent but because of who you are."

He continued, "any power backing you because of your talent, will leave you if they see someone whose talent is better than yours, intend to take as much benefits as possible from that power and get strong very fast. Also, never be proud of your talent, a dead genius is no longer a genius. Bu Nan's uncle is Bu Nan's power. He got it not because of his talent but because of who he is, which is the nephew of the Hall Master of the Fire Elementary Hall."

Hearing this, Tu Feng was shocked by the knowledge of his master, as his master was just nine years old this year.

"Master is really wise, I'm sure master will grow to become a very powerful cultivator anytime from now," Tu Feng praised Lu Jin with flattering words.

"Don't come saying all that stuff to me, I won't treat you any better that I am treating me now," Lu Jin said as he smiled acknowledging what his disciples said.

Looking back at Tao Shanyuan, Lu Jin could not help but feel pity for him as he was just digging his own grave.

Looking at Tao Shanyuan like a fool, Bu Nan just kept quiet as he left the matter to Elder Anki, just regretting that it was not Lu Jin that spoke out.

"Silent, if you have no proof to your claim, then stand back so you won't delay this competition from going on," Elder Anki backed out at Tao Shanyuan.

No. 2 Vs no. 7, no. 3 Vs no. 6 and no. 4 Vs no. 5.

No. 2 Vs no. 7 step out, elder Anki said, as he stepped down from the battle stage.

Tao Shanyuan stepped out still looking ugly for being reprimanded by elder Anki.

"His opponent will really face his anger, tisk, tisk, the spectators said as they discussed amongst themselves.

Stepping out, Tu Feng came facing Tao Shanyuan, looking at him he said, "you are really stupid for trying to undermine the ability of elder Anki."

"What did you say?" Tao Shanyuan asked, not expecting his opponent to insult him as he released his aura to the limit without even caring about the battle stage.

"I SAID THAT YOU ARE AN IDIOT FOR UNDERMINING THE ABILITY OF ELDER ANKI," Tu Feng said as he ran around the battle stage, dodging each and everyone of Tao Shanyuan's attack.

"Don't you have strength? Your xiantian realm cultivation is just a waste, so useless and slow," Tu Feng said as he angered Tao Shanyuan over and over again.

Not able to keep his calm again, Tao Shanyuan charged at Tu Feng. A really foolish thing a mage/sorcerer should ever do.

"No wonder I called you an idiot, Tu Feng said laughing, as he launched his sword move, *piercing rock* technique.

Hearing what Tu Feng said, Tao Shanyuan was about to get mad when he saw Tu Feng finally attacking, responding by trying to launch a spell, he saw how close he was to Tu Feng, before the completion of his spell, the sword arrived.

"You lost," Tu Feng said as he kept his sword at the neck of Tao Shanyuan.

I admit defeat," Tao Shanyuan said, sounding like he has lost all his confidence as a xiantian realm cultivator.

Winner is Tu Feng, advancing to the semifinals.

"He is really shameless to trick Tao Shanyuan to get mad and then charge at him, but Tao Shanyuan is really an idiot, how could he forget the most basic rule among mages." the crowd of spectators discussed as they watched, anticipating the next match as more matches were fought.

Next no. 3 Vs no. 6, stepped out, elder Anki said.

Stepping into the stage, Wu Lan faced Hu Zixin as they both bowed at the other.

"Why don't we use only one move to determine the winner," Wu Lan suggested.

Thinking for a few seconds, Hu Zixin agreed, "Ok, let do it your way."

Immediately they both released their auras and life spirit, Wu Lan released his winged tiger with helmet on it face while Hu Zixin released a blood red sickle, it was his life spirit and also the family trait of Hu family in Chang city, it is one of the eight prominent families in the city with one peak martial prince, holding down the firm.

New Chapter....

(IT COULD BE MORE THAN ONE PEAK MARTIAL PRINCE BUT WITHOUT A PEAK RANK MARTIAL PRINCE FROM THE DIRECT LINE OF THE FAMILY, IT COULD NOT BE RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE EIGHT PROMINENT FAMILIES)

Hu Zixin used the life spirit harmonizing with man, to show the level of threat he felt from Wu Lan.
