Capítulo 156: Second Round
On the day of the competition's second round, the crowd had gathered around the place for the second round.
A stage was set in the middle of an open field. On the stage stood a man. He looked at the crowd. He also saw the members of the Bai clan and the Ma clan. Then he looked at the competitors and only saw two competitors of the Bai clan present.
He began to speak,
"As everyone knows, the bets have started. You can bet anything you want, but if you don't have anything to bet, then you can also bet your lives. Until now, not even a single person was brave enough to bet their life, including the first round."
"Nothing can be gained without risking your lives:so, why hesitate? Just go ahead and bet your lives on anything you want."
"You can take Kas, treasures, cultivator resources, and anything with just betting your lives. So, don't lose this chance."
"As you are aware that the Ma clan has already won one round and only needs one more round to take the competition. Decide before you are late. Nobody knows if there will be another round or not: especially when…" Zing Ghe stopped for a moment when he was about to say something and continued again,
"Especially when there are only two competitors of the Bai clan present."
"What!!"
"Is he serious?!"
"No wonder I can only see five competitors present."
"What do you think happened to the third competitor of the Bai clan?"
"Doesn't it mean that the Ma clan only needs to win a single fight out of the two fights in this round?"
"Not just that, but the Bai clan must win both fights to qualify for the final round."
"Hey, isn't the one missing the one who won his fight before it could even start?"
"Yeah, he defeated Ke Xin with just one punch."
"I wonder if he is still alive?"
The crowd burst into commotion after Zing Ghe announced the news. Nobody had expected that one of the three competitors of the Bai clan would go missing before the second round could even start. And nobody knew what happened to him, even the Bai clan did not announce anything about Yang Zhai.
"Everyone calm down. Now, you know the reason why I am saying that you might have the last chance to change your life. If you don't have anything to bet, you can just bet your lives."Zing Ghe continued to convince people into betting their lives.
"Has he gone crazy?"
"Yeah, who would bet their lives?"
"He thinks that we are fools."
The crowd did not bite the bait thrown by Zing Ghe.
"Now, let's begin the fight." Zing Ghe had already done what he could and signaled the competitors to get ready.
"First fight would be between Ke Xin from the Ma clan and Si Kim from the Bai clan."
Si Kim and Ke Xin walked up the stage after Zing Ghe called for them.
"Okay, you two, begin the fight." Zing Ghe jumped down the stage after announcing, leaving the stage open for the competitors.
"Hi, brother, I am Ke Xin. Today, I have been given the chance to take my revenge, but I hope that our battle will be fair and filled with honor. Remember that nobody would mock you even if I win the fight, ah…" Ke Xin had just started his speech when he was thrown out of the arena.
The Crowd: "..."
The Bai clan:"..."
The Ma clan:"..."
Everyone:"..."
Are you serious?
"Seriously?"
"He still did not learn his lesson?"
"I wonder if he can even fight?"
"He was beaten in the same way in the first round as well."
"I thought that Yang Zhai guy was too powerful to defeat him with just one punch, but now I know the real reason for his defeat in the first round."
"Yeah,"
"Yeah,"
"Yeah,"
"I agree with you."
Everyone in the crowd agreed on a single point: that Ke Xin was useless, no, he was born useless.
"The first battle is over, and the winner is Si Kim from the Bai clan. Now, we can move on to the second battle." Zing Ghe jumped on the stage and announced the winner.
"Now, the second battle would be held between Ai Hao of the Bai clan and Jun Haru of the Ma clan"
"Huh, how can I be defeated this easily? I know, I was just introducing myself, and he attacked. How could he do this?" Ke Xin felt indignant for being defeated unfairly. He was just giving his introduction when he was attacked by his enemy for no reason.
Ai Hao and Jun Haru walked up the stage and greeted each other.
"Begin," Zing Ghe shouted loudly and the fight began.
Jun Haru shot two wind blades at Ai Hao. And his hands turned gray. He began to run towards Ai Hao.
Ai Hao on the other hand dodged one wind blade and activated a treasure to defend against the other wind blade.
A light began to glow on her body. She then grabbed a war flail that was hanging around her waist. It could be seen that the Bai clan had prepared enough. It was to be expected.
No clan would just sit and leave everything to their disciples, and that was especially true for the Bai clan which only had two disciples left to fight.
This could be seen from how Ai Hao was using a treasure for defense and a war flail for attacking enemies from close range. Both of her weaknesses were covered.
She had also successfully advanced to rank 2 mid-grade. The Bai clan was putting full effort into this fight. Ai Hao was a healing cultivator to begin with: so, she must have trained hard in these last four months to fill up her weak points.
However, the Ma clan also knew this as well, so how could they have not given anything to Jun Haru? Jun Haru also activated his defensive treasure and a Red cloth enveloped his entire body. He also activated a rank 2 Ka and a wind spear appeared in his hand.
As this spear was created by a Ka, it was not the same as a mortal's weapon. This spear could basically be considered a continuous technique.
The battle began again. This time, the fight was to discover whose defensive treasure would be broken first. If Ai Hao's defensive treasure was deactivated first, then she was obviously lost. But, if Jun Haru's defensive treasure broke first, then Ai Hao could just attack Jun Haru with the war flail continuously.
It was because the one with the defensive treasure would have less essence water consumption than the one who would be activating their methods again and again to defend themselves.
The battle continued and both of the competitors were already tired. Jun Haru's treasure already had scratches on it more than Ai Hao's treasure had.
After a while, Jun Haru's red cloth treasure was torn from many places, and it disappeared. It was a symbol that his treasure was broken.
Jun Haru was thrown back because of the impact and fell heavily on the stage.
"Now's my chance." Ai Hao knew that her chance had appeared, and she jumped at Jun Haru with her war flail, hoping to end this battle.
Her war flail struck Jun Haru, but nothing happened and Jun Haru was safe and sound.
"How? How is he still fine?" Ai Hao muttered with wide eyes. She clearly struck Jun Haru with her war flail, but nothing happened to him.
