Pearl's Fight

Pearl walked up to the stage and watched a slightly older-looking man walk up the stage. He wore light blue robes with dull brown patches all across them, seemingly in the shape of hammerheads.

His cultivation base was just a step lower than Pearl's, which made Pearl wonder why he was put against this man. Or was there perhaps no one else he could fight this round?

Pearl didn't bring out his spears just yet. He had to make the people around him think he was weaker than he was. From watching his brother's own duel, he knew that the best way to earn was to act as though you were the weaker in the battle.

The referee asked the two of them to prepare and the fight began.

The man in orange didn't immediately attack, waiting for Pearl to make the first move. Pearl was more than happy to.

Pearl dashed forward, using nothing but the power of his body alone. He arrived next to the man in an instant and punched the man in the chest.
