Chapter 968 Semi Finals.
Hou Bing's words settled Situ Baili's incident with ease. The elders of the of the Miwa family then began to discuss the issue of the match up. From the five groups, five contenders were supposed to come on top.
Now with Situ Baili's withdrawal, they had four people left to compete for the top positions. From the Guardian Sect, the young genius and disciple of the Sect Master, Tian Jian qualified. From the heavenly maiden sect, Ming Yanzi qualified. Samsara from the Broken Moon Hall qualified undefeated, and lastly, Shi Lang. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
These four people managed to manage to climb the top undefeated. The people who lost one fights or more were destined to be ranked below them so they did not need to compete for the top. If they had any doubts after the final battle, they can try to raise a challenge, but if they are defeated, they will be crippled for life.
Cultivators should not always think about rushing ahead and face obstacle, but they should also practice restraint. Thus, the rule. The Third Elder of the Miwa family said something to Miwa Nova, who nodded and said, "The semi-finals will be held by drawing the lots for the fights. Does anyone have any problem?"
The people shook their heads and Miwa Nova called the four participants to the centre of the ground. She took out a bag and said, "This bag is made from Black Steel Silk, it can block spiritual consciousness of even Dao Sovereigns. Please put your hand inside and pull out a token."
The people nodded, the first one to pull out the token was Tian Jian, then Ming Yanzi, followed by Shi Lang and lastly Samsara. Miwa Nova asked them to reveal the tokens and the people opened their fists. A nail sized token was revealed. Shi Lang was going to fight Samsara, and Ming Yanzi was going face to face with Tian Jian.
Miwa Nova asked, "You can decide who wishes to go and duel first."
Shi Lang looked at the people before he said, "I wish to exchange notes with Fellow Daoist Samsara."
Samsara raised her head and replied, "I have no problem."
Tian Jian and Ming Yanzi nodded together in affirmation as well.
Miwa Nova nodded and replied, "Please enter the spatial zone."
The two contenders nodded and placed their hands on the crystal ball.
…
The Hall Master of the Broken Moon Hall said, "Senior Brother, your treasured disciple has run into trouble."
Hall Master of the Martial Spirit Hall, Master Yan smiled and said, "You are speaking a bit too early, Junior Sister, let us watch how Xiao Lang wins."
He did not wish to back down from the verbal battle at all. Yes, Samsara was talented, but wasn't Shi Lang the same, on the contrary, this kid has entered the realm of Supreme, illusions did not work on him at all.
…
Inside the spatial world, Samsara and Shi Lang stood facing each other. The Terran noticed that the young lady has closed her eyes. He did not know what it was about, but the moment, Miwa Nova announced the beginning of battle. Samsara opened her eyes and said, "Thousand Dreams."
Shi Lang noticed her eyes flickering like a kaleidoscope. He unveiled his slaughter intent and the illusions that were surrounding him shattered. Rather than using time to deal with these illusion, Shi Lang exploited the chink he found in the layers. His slaughter intent was like a light sword that pierced through everything that came at him.
Shi Lang looked at Samsara and said, "Lady Samsara, is that all?"
The young lady smiled and replied, "You are indeed a good warrior,"
However, the next moment, she vanished from her position. Shi Lang raised his eyebrow in surprise.
…
Outside in the pavilion, Miwa Nova looked at the elders of the Broken Moon Hall, and asked, "Elders, could you please shed some light on what is going on?"
Lao Yuesha looked at the Hall Master, who nodded and said, "Samsara, has mastered the technique, Real Illusions. This technique allows her to create hyper real illusions and hyper illusion realities. Right now, she has merged with the real world that exists inside the battle field. I can only say that she has even concealed her presence to the point where even a Dao Emperor has to put some effort into finding her."
The people were surprised and Miwa Nova looked at the elders from the Martial Spirit Hall, these people all had an amused expression on their faces. She could not help but ask, "Elders, are you not worried about Shi Lang?"
Jian San who was standing beside the sword elder, replied, before anyone else could, "Lady Miwa, our Shi Lang is not simple. To harm him in this state Junior Samsara needs to get close, or her presence would be exposed. If it was only that easy to approach Shi Lang sneakily, Grand Elder Situ would not have lost his arm. At that time, Xiao Lang was only a Dao General, he is a Dao King now, what do you think are the chances of him falling down to this trick?"
Miwa Nova was shocked, and Jian San's words reminded Lao Yuesha, who sat up straight and remarked, "Holy crap, I forgot about it."
All the elders of the Broken Moon Hall looked at her in surprised and she sighed, "Well, Xiao Lang could be called my student. When he had just broken through Dao Soldier level, I found him wandering in the wilderness. He was walking at the edge of life and death but even then, he did not as for my help.
I decided to teach him a few basic things, but then he displayed a talent that moved me. I taught him more, and he absorbed everything like a sponge. I realized at that moment; he is a cultivation monster. We could not take him in so I took him to the test of the Martial Spirit Hall. He passed the impossible task of retrieving the fallen heroes who stayed in the Crimson Soul Abyss, alone.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Sometime ago, when I met him again and we spared, I was not able to land a solid blow at him even when I tried with all my might."
Everyone looked at her as if she was stupid. Situ Tian Hu chuckled, and said, "You all are quite generous, helping the enemy. Teaching them techniques to defeat your own disciples."
Lao Yuesha smiled and replied, "I am willing to swear on my Dao heart that I did not teach anything that is forbidden, just the use of Dao Laws. He is not like the green house plants you raise in your backyard. He walks his own path even."
The people from the two halls shared a special relation so they did not make a fuss, but one of the elders said, "Big sis Yuesha, what if this kid really defeated Samsara?"
Lao Yuesha said, "She will still have a chance to rank third. Do not worry, this competition is held to encourage the young men and women out there to work hard and strive tall in the world of cultivation. Everyone who managed to be selected for the representation is a genius, and losing means they still have the room to improve and pursue invincibility. Also, what are you worried about; they are young. Young people should be bold and do things without too much hesitation. If a fair loss is enough to hamper them, then they did not really understand the essence of invincibility."
Hou Bing was listening to it all, and commented, "Well said."
The elders wanted to reach when Yu Xeidi jumped from her chair and said, "Big Sister, see, Master just grabbed the void and that big sister appeared."
Hao Mei pulled her to sit back down.
…
Inside the spatial battlefield, Shi Lang was standing in a carefree manner, however, the moment Samsara vanished from his vision, he used the move, Shura Haven, turning the seven meters around him to be a domain that could perceive any minute change. Samsara had indeed been slowly approaching Shi Lang.
The Terran did not use his sensory abilities because the structure of the spatial pocket was not something he could analyze, yes, for the first time in his life, the ability that allowed him the edge over the world, did not work.
However, he was not deterred by this, on the contrary, something unexpected made him feel excited. Shi Lang's brain did not work like normal people. Keeping aside the fact that he had reached the Supreme realm and he was basically unfazed by such changes, it was more likely that he had taken after the author who is a weirdo himself.
As soon as Samsara stepped inside the Shura Haven boundary, every movement of hers become apparent to Shi Lang. The lady took out a small knife but just as she was about to attack the Terran, the young man raised his hand and grasped her neck accurately.
Samsara appeared before the people, and shock was visible on her face. She asked, "How?"
Shi Lang smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist, we all have our secrets, don't we?"
Samsara realized her folly and said, "I admit defeat, thank you for going easy on me."
The first semi final came to an end. The people were shocked by how overpowering Shi Lang was.
