Result

After listening to my speech, everyone present inside the arena started talking to each other. As I was waiting for their actions, Ho Chen started coming in my direction.

-" Is this your plan you want to end this competition before this fight gets over?

But you forgot that even if these 10 small fries started fighting each other, they will fight only until any 3 of them get eliminated. And then they could wait for you to get eliminated.

And that is the most likely case that will take place.

What will you do then?"

"Well that is true, but when that situation will arrive then I will think about it at that time. There is nothing I can do worrying about it right now."

-" You won't get the chance to worry about it. Because you will get eliminated before that situation arrives."

"No one can say that for certain."

Well, what he said is the truth, but I cannot do anything else but think that a miracle happens.

After hearing our talk, the rest of the students thought that what we are telling them to do is certainly the right thing to do. Therefore, they formed a group against 3 weakest students in terms of cultivation and tried to eliminate them.

And after forming the group, they started fighting them. Within 10 breath time, 3 students got eliminated. While these 3 persons were getting eliminated I was fighting Ho Chen in the center of the arena.

Or more specifically, I should say I was trying to stay alive in the fight.

Even though Ho Chen was stronger than me, thanks to the master's soul power that she gave to me for coping up with Ho Chen's speed, I was able to keep up with him and was able to guard against his monstrous attacks. While thinking,

'Even though I was able to handle Ho Chen's attack until now, I cannot say how much longer I could hold on. Since Ho Chen's speed was faster than me, I had to use more energy to keep up with him. And I don't have much stamina left to handle his speed now.'

As I was thinking about my limitations, I heard a familiar voice, a voice that always comes to help me no matter how bizarre the situation is, the voice of the only person who never abandoned me ever since I met her.

Yes, this was the voice of my one and only master who was always there to help me. Ever since I met her, all she thought all she did was for my benefit.

-" What are you doing? 3 students are eliminated. Now only 8 students are standing in the arena."

"I know that. But what do you expect me to do?

Defeat this monster?

I am sorry to disappoint you master but, this disciple of yours isn't that strong enough to defeat this monster. This monster is way too strong for me. Only a miracle can save me now."

-" Are you an idiot?

Know that there is nothing like a miracle in this world. The only thing that works in this world is a person's capability. Something like a miracle never existed in this world.

So stop depending on such a non-existence thing and start depending upon yourself. This is the world where only very few people are true friends of others, while the rest of them are just some clown wearing the mask of friendship and relationship.

They will be your friend until you can provide them with something once you are useless, they will just discard you.

That is why don't you ever think about depending on others and just depend on yourself.

As for the current matter, all you have to do is escape Ho Chen for a few seconds and knock one of the students out."

"Master, are you saying it like it is that easy to escape from Ho Chen?

He will catch up to me in the very next second on which I escape."

-" How many times have I said to you to observe your surroundings and take advantage of it?"

"Well, you have said it countless times, you use to say the same thing at least 4 to 5 times a day if you want me to calculate it then wait until this fight gets over."

-" You idiot. If you want to die that badly, then just go and die."

"Master, why are you getting angry? I was just joking."

-" Okay, now listen, you idiot disciple of mine"

"Idiot... master, are you referring to me?"

-" Well of course you are my one and only disciple. So who else will I refer to?

Well, that aside see in your right direction, there is the ground that Ho Chen destroyed when you deflected his punch. If you see closely, that area is very close to collapsing, all you need to do is just apply a little pressure, and I think that would give you enough time to eliminate one student."

"Will it work, master?

I don't think Ho Chen will take the bait and punch the ground by himself."

-" If he won't do that himself. You have to do it yourself.

That's your only choice, because if you will try to run to eliminate someone amid the fight Ho Chen will definitely understand your intention and will try everything in his power to stop you, and then he won't allow you to escape him until the fight is over. And if you will try to deflect his punch, then he will simply just remove the Qi strength from his hands, and then it will become just a normal punch with no extraordinary effect.

So this is your only option."

What the master said certainly is the truth. But will it work as easily as the master said?

What will happen if I get involved in the ground rupture along with Ho Chen?

And not to forget that this is a one-time plan if it works, then very good but, if it won't work then I am dead.

Ah! This situation sucks. What did I do to get involved in this kind of situation?

Well, I don't have a choice but to try it. But how will I move in that direction without letting him notice my plan?

All I can do is try to rotate a little if I move a large distance, then I will get in trouble.

With this plan in mind, I started moving a little with every move we exchanged. After exchanging about 30 to 35 blows. I was able to reach the location I wanted to reach. Now all I have to do is to make Ho Chen come here, that will be easy. Because Ho Chen is focused on attacking if I move a little backward just after taking his attack that won't be that difficult.

Let's do it.

After planning this, I waited for Ho Chen's attack, which didn't take long since he was planning to end this fight as soon as possible, and he didn't want to give me a chance to counterattack. But as soon as he attacked, I started moving backward just after touching it which helped me in reducing the damage received and also to move to my desired location.

Now I have to break the ground that is already on the verge of collapsing, but along with that, I have to escape the area as well or this situation may just end up in big trouble. But I think I can do it. I have confidence in it. As I was thinking, this Ho Chen struck again, but he didn't know that this time one of the biggest surprises of the fight was about to be received by him.

I started accumulating my Qi in my legs and waited for Ho Chen to enter the area of the ground that was half broken. Just after he entered the area, I used 95% Qi of the remaining Qi of my body to apply the force on the ground, which resulted in the collapsing of the ground, and as the reaction force applied to me, I was able to jump and escape the ground just before it got collapsed.

As the ground below, Ho Chen started rupturing, he tried to get out of it but alas! he didn't have the position or area from where he could jump.

While Ho Chen was struggling to escape the area, I went towards a student who was standing near to me. After approaching him, I used the remaining 5% Qi, which exhausted all of the Qi of my body, and attacked the boy. After getting the punch, the boy moved towards the boundary of the arena, but since the force was lacking, it wasn't enough to knock him out.

The boy became stable at the very edge of the stage. But since I didn't want to give up I used just my physical strength to move toward him and punch him with all my strength, just to make him lose his balance and get disqualified but, he got stable faster than I expected, and he was able to easily counter my punch that didn't had any Qi to strengthen it.

At that moment I started thinking

'Huh, it's over, I tried my best, but I wasn't able to cross this round.'

While I was thinking this, the boy got in a position to throw me out of the arena.

Suddenly I heard the voice of Ho Chen who was coming here while shouting

-"Hey you small fry, how dare you steal my target?

I will make you pay. Do you think you can escape after taking my target?"

Hearing that, the boy started hesitating, but Ho Chen was not the one who would hesitate before doing anything. He suddenly came and punched the boy with his punch the boy got thrown out of the arena and got eliminated. Even though I could feel that Ho Chen tried his best not to eliminate him but since the boy was weak in my comparison and Ho Chen body adapted itself to use the power to fight me he was not able to hold back much and to add more the boy was already standing on the edge he didn't have a place backside to move.

Finally, the battle-royale was over. And the result of the fight between Ho Chen and me also came in my favor.
