"What do you think my chances of winning against him are?" Yun Che asked while getting ready for the tournament. honestly, he was looking forward to fighting with me. After months' worth of training and getting a new bloodline, he was sure he should somewhat be my rival.
"Do you have a way to get past that strange space-time ability of his? He also made huge improvements in the past few months, but knowing him he would weaken himself to fight you. A fight between you and him would be interesting to watch." Jasmine said softly,
"Although I have been thinking of a way around that strange defense. by the looks of things, he is dividing the distance of something. So, no matter how much he divides something, he can never hit zero. meaning, something can be close, but shall always be infinitely apart. a simple and powerful technique, but there are many flaws I found in it." She said to which Yun Che's eyebrow raised in shock.
"The first way I thought to get around this is...." and so Yun Che went to hear many tricks and ways Jasmine had to get past Infinity...
Within the room belonging to Frozen Cloud Asgard, the sect master was looking at Xia Qingyue with a serious look.
"Wu Xian is something..." She wanted to say that I was a genius, but she had a hard time saying anything good about me.
"Cough, but there are ways to get past his defense. I have almost done it a year ago, and I did it a few months ago. At first, I thought it was the domain that allowed me to almost touch him, but I realized it was something else." She said while Xia Qingyue paid close attention...
"I heard there was a freakish genius here. So, I came to see the big deal." within the throne room, currently the king wasn't sitting on it. instead, someone else sat on the throne, a guest from another continent, who came after hearing something about people skipping realms.
Others would have ignored something like this, but he was different. for the chance of gaining power, he would go on a wild goose chase.
'My empire...' the king thought, the thought of this young man meeting me crossing his mind. he almost cried, his poor empire might be destroyed due to two young masters' arrogance. What was the best move in all of this?
"Indeed, we have a genius like none other. i'm sure you would love to see him, brother Feng." the first prince said while entering the throne room, causing the king's face to turn dark...
To say the least, the arrival of one prince caught the ears of many other empires ears, leading to them sending spies into this empire to find out just what was happening. I stood on top of the tallest building in the city, just sensing all of these spies. My hands were spread out,
"I can feel it... The coming chaos. Would I survive, or would it kill me?" I said with a smile, the excitement, the danger that awaited me... I felt alive just at the thought of it all.
the wait for fun didn't take long as the tournament quickly came around. I didn't care to take part in the Outer and Inner disciple tournament, Yun Che took part in these and took first place for the imperial family.
I on the other hand took part in the core disciple tournament...
"I hear you're some top-tier genius or something." A level 9 Qi Condensation realm cultivator said while watching me walk onto the stage. I smiled at his words, while my cultivation dropped to level 9 Qi Condensation. I just waved at him to come at me, and he just did that.
With a flash, a spear appeared in his hands which he stabbed towards me. he was fast, even a level 10 Qi Condensation realm expert might be hit by such an attack if caught off guard. Yet I just turned to the side, using my shoulders to hit the side of the spear, sending it flying to the side.
"Such basic martial arts," I said while I held out my fingers against his chest. and before he could do anything, I did the one-inch punch, which knocked him out pretty much instantly. I looked towards Yun Che and Xia Qingyue, whose eyes were locked on the battle the whole time.
'his energy control has reached a new level. he can boost his speed and strength to greater heights without worrying about his body being unable to handle it.' Jasmine said in shock, she was already shocked by my level of energy control in the past... but this? this was getting out of hand.
The tournament continued, and soon it was Yun Che's turn. Yun Che was now at level 5 Xiantian, and adding the fact he had a technique that could open up something known as gates to boost his strength by up to 5 times, Yun Che was walking through this with ease.
Xia Qingyue was doing the same, although she soon met with someone who managed to blow away the veil covering her face. This caused the world to freeze as everyone was charmed by her beauty, such a beauty, who wouldn't be moved?
Xia Qingyue was forced to fight quickly to end the battle, before stepping off the arena with a heavy heart. She looked towards me, just to see me looking back with a smile. She understood that this might be the first sign of a tribulation that would befall her and her sect.
After some more battles, soon 3 people were remaining. myself, Xia Qingyue, and Yun Che. To say the least, I pulled some strings to ensure I can fight these 2.
"Although I rather the two of you team up against me... this would do," I said with a shrug, making Xia Qingyue say nothing while simply holding her sword, ready for an all-out battle. meanwhile, I went on to stretch my body. Since hercultivation was at level 7 Xiantian and I lowered mine to level 1 Xiantian it would be a hard-fought battle.
"You're not going to remove the blindfold?" She asked, to which I laughed lightly.
"Trying to see my eyes," I asked, making Xia Qingyue regret saying anything. Cracks sounded from all over my body, and as soon as I was ready, I gave the elder watching the battle the thumbs up.
Xia Qingyue waved her hands, causing the ground before her to be frozen, followed by Ice shooting out toward me. but as she was waving her hands, I had already moved, dodging the ice spikes in the nick of time.
"You still have a weak body," I said while a blue orb appeared in front of me, pulling Xia Qingyue towards me.
"Looks like I'm a magnet for beauty," I said with a smile as my fist shot forward. Xia Qingyue waved her hands and created an ice wall in front of her. I ended up throwing Blue to the side, and just as spikes from the ice wall shot toward me, they were broken apart and sucked toward Blue along with the Ice wall.
Xia Qingyue's eyes widened slightly seeing how fast her Ice wall was destroyed, she quickly allowed Blue to suck her in, using it to dodge my fist. She of course wouldn't let it suck her all the way, she just used it to dodge. As soon as her feet touched the ground, they were covered in ice which held her still.
My fist shot toward her, and this time Xia Qingyue was not holding back, drawing upon the power from her inner world, she swung her sword toward me. Her sword was covered in ice, increasing both its power and sharpness, while at the same time, Blue which was behind her was frozen in Ice, ensuring that its pull wouldn't affect her.
Fist and Sword shot towards each other. but they never met, as instead, a forcefield seemed to cover my fist, increasing the rage of my attack, while also protecting me from the cold of her sword.
My fist was sent flying backward, while Xia Qingyue's sword was frozen in its movement for a split second before it shot toward me. But the ice shattered on the sword, just in time for my other fist to clash with it, sending the sword backward with cracks running up the blade.
'The force from his attacks is not spreading along the blade, they are forced to stay at one point, leading to it overwhelming my blade.' She thought. her sword which was going to crack, she quickly covered it with Ice, holding it together as she moved to clash with me again... but who said I had to clash with her?
'No, that was to draw my attention.' She thought seeing a fist shooting towards her face, she instantly knew that this fist would reach her thanks to its range being boosted by my willpower. it would send her back, leading to her sword hitting nothing.
She moved just in the nick of time to dodge the attack, while at the same time, Ice grew around her, creating a barrier that shielded her from me. At the same time, the Ice grew spears, which I quickly tried to dodge, while finding an opening to shatter the ice barrier.
Boom
Xia Qingyue was the one to shatter the Ice barrier, and with it came out a huge Ice fist that slammed into my face, sending me rocketing away.
"YES!" The Sect master of Frozen Cloud Asgard jumped in joy seeing this, Although I didn't fall out of the ring, she was happy to see someone finally land a blow on that cocky sexy face of mine. but she quickly realized everyone had turned to look at her, awkward and embarrassed, she sat down...
"... what the?" Xia Qingyue said while looking at the wall outside the ring, which a fist imprint was. meanwhile, I stood there without an injury.
"I focused the power from that punch to travel through me... It's a dangerous move as I could have destroyed my brain with a wrong move. but I sent it all out through my body, and it all landed there." I said with a laugh, leaving Xia Qingyue speechless.
"That attack would have done some serious injuries if it landed, at best my skull would have suffered some injuries, and at worst my brain would have been badly injured... it was a gamble I had to take," I said with a smile,
"You're crazy." Xia Qingyue said while snow slowly began to fall, she was growing serious,
"No... I have faith in my abilities." I said while holding out my hand, where Blue gathered. As it did, all of the snow gathered towards it.
"I never explained this technique to anyone. but it's called Blue. Pretty much I create a negative space, and the world madly tries to fill that space up. The bigger the negative space, the faster the world would try and fill it up." I said while the pull from Blue grew stronger.
Strengthened Limitless: Blue. Blue is the Technique Lapse of the Limitless. It is activated by channeling amplified energy into the Limitless. It infinitely converges space to a single point to create a void-like effect and produce fields of attraction. Blue's power to attract can applied in various ways. It can pull two targets into each other, destroy a building, implode an individual, or increase the user's speed among other applications. Consistent with the Limitless technique in general, Blue is difficult to use and requires precise manipulation of the user's energy, which can cause the user to tire out easily.
Xia Qingyue pulled the snow towards her, causing it to swallow her sword, as she stepped forward, ready to use Blue pull to increase her speed to the fullest, while at the same time using her strongest move.
I shot Blue towards her, and she shot forward to meet it... but her pupils shrank as behind her, the Blue she had frozen exploded, pulling her towards it. For some reason, the blue behind her had a pull far higher than before, and so strong it was pulling the Blue which was shooting towards it.
"It is basic to allow your enemy to believe they won, I let you think you froze the technique, not knowing I could boost its power at any moment I want," I said with a smile, Xia Qingyue gritted her teeth, she felt like she was going to be ripped apart. She let out a cry and she stabbed her sword into the ground, and from there she used the domain. A world of Ice and snow covered the area, with such freezing chill that my Blue was frozen, although not for long.
She shot towards me before they could break free. Seeing this, I used Blue once more, and this time shot it into the sky. At first, she was stunned, but she quickly realized my plan once she found that gravity had lessened. I flashed towards her, and just as my fist was about to hit her face, she moved, slamming her fist into my chest.
'My movement is so slow thanks to the domain.' I thought with a smile while moving my chest backward as they connected, this weakened her attack, while at the same time, giving me an opening. We traded countless blows in the short time of a few seconds, which was the most she could do to hold the domain together before she ran out of energy and fell to the ground.
The domain slowly disappeared, revealing me standing over her as she lay on her back, covered in her blood. I stood there, covered in frostbite and blood as well.
"How many levels can you skip?" She asked softly,
"I don't know. but it should be over 24 right now." I said with a smile, she looked at me with a shocked look, before sighing. She understood she wasn't my match, even when holding back by so much. They had a cultivation gap of 6 levels, and she could currently fight a level 1 Core formation realm expert when going all out. She can skip 14 levels, while I was here skipping 10 more levels above her at least.
Even in this battle, I held back, with my blindfold on, plus the fact Infinity was off, she understood I didn't take this match seriously. It was just my way of enjoying the battle. And seeing how quickly my injuries healed, she sighed even more.
"Don't get down, In the same cultivation realm, I'm unmatched. thats a cold hard fact... plus, one day you will surpass me." I said while holding out my hand. I looked overpowered right now, but I knew these guys would soon catch up to me and go beyond me. they were freaks, and I couldn't compare to that,
"... other than your blindfold and that strange defense, were you still holding back?" She asked while taking my hand. At her words, I nodded lightly, making her sigh softly while walking off the stage.
"The winner is, Wu Xian... do you want some time to rest or should we move on with the next round?" the elder asked to which I shrugged.
"Rest is for the weak," I said with a smile while waving to Yun Che to hurry up. Yun Che didn't waste time, and with his heavy sword in his hands, he came to stand opposite me. Yun Che at this moment could skip 16 levels, so although he had weaker cultivation than Xia Qingyue, he was stronger.
'this will be more interesting...' I thought feeling the power flowing through Yun Che. I smiled while keeping my cultivation at level 1 Xiantian. Yun Che was different from Xia Qingyue, Yun Che had a master and many unmatched techniques and inheritances, so he was more of a challenge than Xia Qingyue who had a weaker cultivation art, no inheritance, plus a weaker master.
"Let's dance," I said with a smile...
