Roc
Four days before the start of the final phase of the tournament.
Somewhere in the outskirts of the academy, on the side of a random mountain was a clearing where several tents where pitched. In the middle of the clearing, two figures were repeatedly running into one another, sending small shockwaves through the rocky mountain.
*Bang*
*Bang*
The figures collided with one another before being sent tumbling away into the mountainside.
The one on the right pushed away the loose debris falling on top of him and jumped out. His black hair were covered with dust. He wasn't wearing a shirt so the burn marks and scars on his upper body were out for all to see.
This was of course Hao Xuan.
"Again!" he said while spitting out a pebble that had gotten into his mouth.
The other person was a slightly chubby man, almost the same size as Hao Xuan himself at a little over seven feet (2.2m). He was in much better condition and even seemed relaxed.
