Encounter

Rihan finished his second round cleanly. Initially, he had planned on restraining himself and enjoy each opponents in the grouping matches. However, he did not expect that Yuanba would arrive bringing with him a report regarding the appearance of an unknown astral spirit.

Since he was summoned by his dad in this world until know, he haven't seen a spirit from this world once.

He was interested while worried at the same time. He was interested about this unknown spirit while worried about the Nura Clan members who doesn't have enough strength to defend in case they were attacked. Good thing, Karasu Tengu and the black Phoenix clan returned before the tournament otherwise he wouldn't be able to maintain his composed disposition.

"Father, did you see that?" Personally observing that extremely short battle earlier, Ling Yun shifted his gaze, and said with a low voice.

"Mmm." Ling Yuefeng nodded slightly. "He's indeed astounding. He has even exceeded my expectations."

He even lightly added in another line. "Aside from his cultivation and skill, I got this feeling that he still hiding something. Not just him but each member of their clan emanates a pressuring aura especially their Patriarch."

Ling Yun nodded gently. "I have the same thoughts as well. I'm very curious, since when did the Blue Wind Profound Palace, with no advantages in resources and profound arts, is actually able to gain this man and his clans approval to represent them… and How come I haven't heard about them before? A clan with such strength should be known."

Ling Yuefeng nodded, "I sent someone earlier to investigate the origin of this clan, based on the Intel that we got. This clan first appeared in Cyan Forest Town, it seems like they massacred an entire mercenary group."

Ling Yun turned silent as he let the Information sink in. He spoke, "Are you saying that they are a resident of Cyan Forest Town?"

Ling Yuefeng shook his head, "No, the information ends there. We don't exactly know where they came from or even their history."

Ling Yun can only sigh as his eyes landed on Rihan's figure returning back to his corner.

Ever since the official start of the ranking tournament, Rihan received an extremely high level of attention. After the two continuous instant victories, the level of attention he received shot up in a vertical slope. Every part of him could literally make the younger generation jealous.

When Rihan's third battle began, everyone realize something different.

His opponent is extremely cautious, well no one can blame him after seeing Rihan's performance. Only after probing a few times, did he begin swinging his weapon and wielding his profound energy to attack Rihan.

Contrary to his first match where he restricted his Cultivation to the same level as his opponent and his second match where he showed his dominance, the Rihan in the third round did not even bother looking at his opponents attack.

Straightening his right arm, like pulling out hay, his fist instantly penetrated through the opponent's heavy sword silhouette and profound energy defenses, accurately hitting his upper chest, causing him to tumble in the air dozens of times. When he landed on the ground, he was already in daze, and the longsword in his hands had flown to god knows where, before he could move, he realize a blade close to his neck.

He can only surrender, he gave Rihan a respectful salute, and then, left the stage. 

He was clear that Rihan's earlier blow was completely capable of easily dealing with him, but, his continuous tumble in the air, caused the powerful horizontal force he suffered to reduce in strength bit by bit, and when he landed, he basically did not suffer any injuries. Rihan's appearance behind with a blade on his neck is giving him enough face to raise his head.

"Blue Wind Imperial Family's Rihan wins!"

The third battle was another instant victory!

The sun had already begun to set, and thus, the curtains closed for the matches on the first day. More than two thousand matches had undergone on thirty arenas. Within these many matches, there would definitely be some there were spectacular and thrilling, but, after the first day of the tournament ended, the hottest topic brought up was not about any of those matches, but about the unexpected participant —— Nura Rihan.

At the end of today's competition, Rihan and the rest from the Blue Wind Profound Palace we're about to return back to their courtyard. On the way there were already three people awaiting for their arrival. More accurately, they were waiting for Rihan alone.

Of the three, one was a middle aged man with an imposing manner. The other two were youths who had appeared in today's competition venue. One was the Mu Xiongyi who had been defeated by Rihan.

Having seen Rihan, that middle aged man straightforwardly walked as quick as a comet in big steps and said to Rihan: "I am Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress' current Fort Master Mu Tianbei. At the risk of being presumptuous, I have an important matter to discuss with the honorable Patriarch of the Nura Clan."

Mu Tianbei had a boorish appearance. There was a naturally deep arrogance about him. After all, in the stretches of the frozen north, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress was indubitably the dominant power. As its Fort Master, it could be said that he could even cover the sky with one hand there, and no one could disobey him. Within the boundaries of the entire Blue Wind Empire, the reputation of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress was basically only second to that of the Four Major Sects.

He came up and directly and asked to meet Hannya. As for Qin Wushang and Princess Cangyue who was by his side and even Gyuuki, he did not even give them a single glance. He was the kind of arrogant person who believed himself to be beyond the laws and even beyond Heaven. A frown appeared on Qin Wushang's forehead but he did not say a thing. Rihan moved forward and asked: "So it is the reputable Fort Master Mu. Heh, so what do you need with my dad?"

Mu Tianbei was a bit startled because of Rihan's straightforward approach, however he quickly regain his calm and was about to reply when a cold wind blew from behind them.

Ice particles fluttered, and very quickly, three graceful fairy-like figures appeared before them.

Mu Tianbei turned around and his eyes squinted as he recognized them.
