Chapter 93
(Unedited)
…
The fight between 4th level Qi practitioners is truly something different. They are unlike normal humans that rely on their own body and technique to fight. Or those in the lower level who could only wrap their body with Qi. Those in the 3rd and 4th level are like monsters and demi-gods that could already summon wind and rain.
As the fight of two combatants in the arena became fiercer so does the concentration of every elder and leaders in the Outer Sect. Those visiting members from the inner sect are also showing interest in this fight.
Suddenly, Bandana who is showing advantage in the battle slips up and missed Sister Guan and in just a split of a second, a strong lightning burst erupted from the arena.
Everyone could see two figures flying out of the arena and both seem to have been rendered unconscious.
…
At that time, I saw that the young man in bandana suddenly formed a mist in the air which suddenly made in contact with the electric bolt. The bolt dissipated but the current traveled in through the water vapors in the air and electrocuted the two of them.
Although the lightning came from the female fighter named Sister Guan, it seems that only her hands are immune to electricity and not her whole body.
And so at that instant, the two were thrown by that powerful force and both are now unconscious. I know that because of the shock, their hearts would already stop beating.
As the medical personnel rushes through, they immediately check the condition of the two. Among them are Old Chang and me.
Since Old Chang checked the male Qi Practitioner Bandana and I have nothing else to do, I decided to go to the direction of that woman they called Sister Guan.
The medical people sent there immediately began using a defibrillator. Though this is a sect and is usually using pills and strange ancient medicine, it also incorporates modern medicine. So the people are experts in this kind of thing.
"Clear!"
That was what I heard upon walking closer, but then in front of my eyes, I saw that person suddenly flying away.
How could he not? The shock seems to have activated her innate power to protect herself and released a more powerful voltage.
And this in turn kicked that person away.
But of course this also resulted to her heart beating again.
"What a minute… This is bad… She… she is convulsing and foam is appearing from her mouth." The medical personnel suddenly shouted.
But of course, I already knew what is happening. These people are so ridiculous that they would result in doing such a devious thing just to take a place in the contest.
I walk beside that medical practitioner and then lifted one of my feet and kick him away.
Bam!
Everyone was shocked and they noticed that the person that was kicked is already unconscious.
I took a few needles from my sleeves and then immediately pricked them on some parts of her body.
"What… What are you doing?" shouted a young woman who has a worried look on her face.
But before she could say something, she saw the woman lying on the ground suddenly opening her eyes. Then she suddenly threw up.
Blarrrggh!!!
Traces of green substance could be seen from the blood that she just threw up.
"Do not use your Qi yet for a day, until the poison in your body would be naturally expelled…" I said then turn around.
The needles are already in my hands and threw it inside a container hidden underneath my robe.
"Poison…" the people around her showed confusion.
But then their eyes landed on the unconscious man. Before they could react, an elder has already rushed forward and picked the man by his neck.
Then his hand grabs the small container inside his white coat and the strange liquid within.
"Poison… there really is poison." The elder muttered.
I could hear his words but I did not turn around.
I knew that this elder was nearby and is observing my every action.
I did not know whether he is a friend or foe, but I did not care.
As I stood beside the busy people, Old Chang who just finished rescuing the young man walks beside me.
"Boy, you should not poke your nose to others business… I could not protect you always… Remember that." He said in a low voice.
His words seem to be coming from a caring person who has my well-being in his mind. But I know that deep inside this old man are a calculative one and a very petty person. If I am of no use to him right now, I know that he would have already set up something to dispose of me.
However, I am not that worried about it. I already have my plans if that happens. But I just hope that he did not do such a foolish thing, as a person, I'm still grateful for his teaching, though it was done with a hidden agenda.
After that incident, the tournament once again resumed.
Later that night, when the last battle was about to start, a person suddenly approached me.
This last battle is between Fa Wenling and another 4th level Qi practitioner. And this is one of the most anticipated battles in the Outer Sect.
As a 4th level practitioner nearing the 5th level, Fa Wenling is considered the strongest Qi Practitioner. Meanwhile, her opponent is one of the top ten 4th level Qi Practitioners, so this battle is anticipated by the crowd.
The young woman dress in the uniform of the Outer Sect walks beside me. She carefully draws her hair to the side of her ear and then showed a faint smile on her face.
"Thank you… Thank you for saving my life…" she said with a hint of gratefulness in her eyes.
"No worries… I'm just doing my job." I replied with a smile.
"I am Tang Guan… I heard about your name before and saw you fight. You really are an interesting fellow. If you have time, why don't you join my group… Though we do not accept men, yet you would be an exception…" Tang Guan said with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
My heart skipped a beat at that instant. Though I may have experienced a lot of things, yet this kind of feeling is something that a teenager like me always dreams about. Whenever I and my seatmates would talk when I was in school, we would always fantasize about being famous and well-known by the young and gorgeous girls in our school. Those youthful dreams of mine should be coming true, right?
That is what coming to my mind right now as I look at the stage with a stunned expression.
Tang Guan seems to notice my reaction as she suddenly chuckles.
"I knew you are not that old. In fact, my guess is that you are just a teenager… But because of your fierce-looking scar, you seem older… Hihi… Anyway, I'm sincerely inviting you to my group… think about it and tell me if you agree…" she said with a smile as she left.
Well, I could somewhat tell why she wanted me. It might be because of two things, my pill concoction ability, and my medical knowledge.
"Hmm… Tempting… Should I join them? Hehe…" I thought while a slightly mischievous idea came to my mind, but of course, I would not act on it.
I quickly shifted my gaze to the side of the stage where Fa Wenling is already standing. Our eyes met and she gave me a cold glare. This woman has been giving me that strange vicious intent, but she would always retract it.
I did not know what is going on in her mind and I did not care.
As the referee has already stood in the center so did Fa Wenling and the other guy, walk in the middle.
"Are both of you ready?" he asked.
The two nodded and take a fighting stance.
"Fight!" he shouted and quickly jumps down the stage.
Fa Wenling is not the most patient woman, so her fighting style would always be direct and brutal. Hence those who are faced against her would always experience the most dangerous fight of their life.
And just like what the rumor has said, as soon as the elder shouted the figure of Fa Wenling could be seen immediately flying towards her opponent.
"Are you ready to experience pain? Hihi…" she said as she suddenly controlled her Qi and created a fiery hand in front of her.
The young man was taken aback and quickly controlled the earth element and a large stone rose up from the ground.
Bang!
A loud explosion happened and a cloud of dust are scattered everywhere hindering the audience from seeing what is happening on the stage.
Right at this moment, the seemingly muffled sound of fist against fist could be heard in the air. It seems that the fight between the two became suddenly intense.
