Chapter 58: To Face slap or not to face slap (3)

Sorry this too so long I wanted to end this arc here but I couldn't do that especially with writing an entire fight scene. I didn't want it to be a complete curb stomp. You'll know why later on.

-------

The first battle began and it was really nothing to go home about, the martial techniques aren't even that great about one star and two star. I easily comprehended them along with their inner workings which weren't much. But I guess that's to be expected they are just kids, I don't expect them to have mountain busting attacks.

And this is just a spar to showcase their abilities techniques that aim to cripple or kill are prohibited.

Though Fa Ken hasn't stepped up yet. Since only people from the first year has only fought so far. He's from the second year.

*CLANG!* A spear and sword clashed as a young man with long brown hair and golden eyes parried the sword fighter. The spear man had a savage look on his face along with a wide smile as he summoned a boulder from underneath his opponent which sent him flying up into the air and then down to the ground.

"That youngster isn't too bad." Said an Elder from a sect. "I have to agree what clan is he from?"

"His name is Piaoli he's the son of a mortal couple or so I've heard." Said one to teachers. Many elders and sect lord became intrigued it's not everyday some one this skilled shows up and especially since he's from a mortal couple.

Piaoli then won his third fight and walked out the ring, the second years started their battle, the fights were a bit better, with people of slightly lower level than Fa Ken fighting.

Then a guy wearing white robes with purple flames on them stepped out. "It's young master Zi Quan!" This guy is the pavilion number one ranked in the first years. He's from the Violet Flame Clan a clan whose martial techniques

I heard that he's really strong. I kinda want to fight him.

[Sir your fighting boner is showing.]

Zi Quan raised his hand pointed at Fa Ken. "Classmate Fa Ken I've been interested in fighting you for a while now." He says with a smile but Ken Hai could feel something was off as Fa Ken looked to be a bit hesitant with a bit of rage hidden in his eyes but he stepped down into the ring anyway accepting his classmates challenge

"Zi Quan may I ask why are you challenging me? Your already more skilled than I." Said Fa Ken. Some cultivators or stronger than others, even when they are at the same level. This was a complete mystery to people on thi world, however Ken Hai already uncovered it.

It's due to a number of factors such as a cultivators diet, the pills they intake and the martial techniques and training they do. If a cultivator simply only sits and do nothing while only buying and eating pills and drinking elixers then their strength won't be up as the average cultivator they'd be slightly weaker, but still know even if a cultivator goes through this they can still defeat opponents that are down a minor realm or two.

But the reason why Zi Quan is stronger than Fa Ken is simple, he had better resources. Ever since he was child Zi Quan has been groomed by his father to become the next heir of Violet Flame Clan. He's had the best tutors and resources his clan could afford.

Both of Zi Quan fists then lit up in a bout of purple flames as he smiled. "Remember our last little spar. This youngmaster and his fellow brothers really enjoyed ourselves back then. I was simply curious how much stronger you've gotten in these months of self study." Says Zi Quan with a smile.

'What is he talking about? [Scan]' as he used the skill he found out what happened and Ken Hai held his fist rage veins appearing on his arms, if it weren't for the long sleeves and knowing how to control himself, he'd be gaining quite the attention.

What he read made his blood boil.

*Flash back*

Walking down the hallways was Fa Ken, he looked on to see three young men fifteen years in age grouping against two girls. One of them was Zi Quan himself who had a smile on his face.

"Please young master my sister and I need to go home." One of the girls begged. But the smile on his face immediately morphed into a scowl as he slapped the girl who flew back into the wall.

"Big sister!" The other girl shouted. "Hmph! You think just because your a cultivator, you mortal borns can deny this young master of what he wants!" shouts Zi Quan in rage.

"Take them to my quarters I'll have my fun with them before passing them over to you two." Hearing this Fa Ken flew into a rage. "What are you doing? Your a respectable young master from a prestigious clan stop this at once!" says Fa Ken.

"Hmph! Fa Ken you think just because your sect used to be a roaring dragon you can challenge me! Hmph! Kowtow and kiss my foot or I may just forgive you." he replies with a sneer.

"I refuse! Zi Quan I challenge you to duel! If I win you let those two girls go." Say Fa Ken. Zi Quan only laughed. "Hahahaha! Fine I agree. Though you don't have anything to give me, I shall be a virtuos young master and give you a quick beating." Says the Zi Quan with a cruel smile.

-Present-

Fa Ken lost and too long after one of the girls committed suicide while the other left the Pavilion. Remembering the face of the girl that left Fa Ken gripped his sword even harder.

He's been cultivating diligently for the past two years just to beat Zi Quan. He'll win no matter what. With these thoughts he took the initiative and attacked first, enhancing his body with qi, Fa Ken closed the distance between the two and tried slashing the villainous youngmaster who blocked with his purple arms.

'He's using two martial techniques at once.' Was what Ken Hai noticed as he narrowed his eyes. First he used the Iorn Fist technique a rather common 2-star technique that can be found in a lot of libraries. However it has a lot of potential for growth.

The Iron Fist technique not only gives the user high offense but also defense with that technique if a person were to train it pass it's usual limit, they'd be able to tear through wall of iron like paper. And he's also using his clans misty purple flames to hide this fact.

'What a cunning bastard. Too bad he's going to go tonight.' Thought Ken Hai as it seem Batman will be making rounds to the Violet Flame Clan.

*Clash!* Zi Quan and Fa Ken clashes again as purple fiery fist clashes against sword sending the two apart. Flames then appeared at Zi Quan's feet as he blasted off at Fa Ken like a rocket.

He threw an extremely powerful punch at Fa Ken who blocked with his sword, but unfortunately his blade snapped in half. Seeing this shock came over his face as Zi Quan delivered a punch to his face, then a right hook made it Fa Ken's gut, the young master didn't stop as he got a few more punches in all with a sinister smile on his face. Burning and bloodying the swordsman's body.

Fa Ken didn't dare lose ground as he stomped his feet causing a pillar of earth to rise up slamming into Zi Quan's chin sending him flying upwards, Zi Quan managed to recover and land on his feet.

'This guy is good. Too bad he's a shit person though.' Thought Ken Hai as he looked on. He now knew why Zi Quan is number one of the second years. Zi Quan touched his chin as a bit of blood dripped from it.

An angered look appearing on his face as the purple flames in his hands changes to whips. Fa Ken then made a sword of earth and concentrated qi into it to make it stronger he then took it further and added sword qi and he dashed towards Zi Quan who brought down his purple flaming whips, but they didn't go for Fa Ken instead they wrapped themselves around Fa Ken's sword and disarmed him.

His eyes widened the whips then crashed into his body what resulted next was a beat down as Zi Quan kept beating Fa Ken with his whips. Fa Ken couldn't focus and bring up any stone walls to protect himself because of the flames.

Soon he fell to the ground bleeding. He was about to go in for another strike but his teacher stopped him.

"That's enough this isn't a battle to the death." He says as he walked away and some doctors brought Fa Ken onto a stretcher. Seeing this, rage was very much burning in my eyes.

Seeing what Fa Ken did Headmaster Luo was about to file a complaint to the Violet Flame Clan Patriarch Zi Kung but he knew what he'd say. The man was uncaring of the actions of his son, he honestly didn't care about the boy as long as he can take care of the clan and create an offspring.

He'd just tell them to get revenge on his son in anyway however permanently crippling him in anyway and taking away his ability to reproduce was were not good in anyway.

"Hmph! Does anyone wishes to step up and challenge this young master here." he began to gloat with a smile on his face.

"I would." Replied Ken Hai with a kind smile on his face.
