บท 30: My brother would never do that...
-"Huan, it's time to fight."
Xu Luli said as she reminded Huan that it was time for his next fight.
"Hmm."
Huan nodded his head and opened his eyes.
"Your next match is against an 8th-level cultivator. You have to defeat him as soon as possible so it can wash away the first match's results. But don't forget to be extra careful." Xu Luli advised.
"Thanks. I was going to do as you said." Replied Huan.
Then they left for the fighting arena.
The match ended with Huan's fast victory.
"Match ends!"
"The winner is Huan!"
The referee announced the fight's winner.
Huan left the stage with a calm look on his face.
"With this, I still have a chance." He thought.
He ended the match in 10 seconds which was fast for the record.
"I should end the next fight as soon as I can too."
******
After some time the referee announced Huan's next match.
"Next fight. Number 921 versus Number 521."
Huan and his opponent Xue Liang went to the stage.
"The match starts." The referee announced.
"Surrender, or I won't go easy on you, weakling." Xue Liang said with an arrogant voice.
"Why should he start the fight with that?" Huan thought internally.
"Nevertheless, he has the power to back it up. I have seen two of his fights. His physical power is amazing. So the only thing I have got against him is my speed. But I haven't seen him using a technique or didn't notice it in either of his two fights."
"I need to be careful."
Huan spoke after thinking:
"Thanks. But I won't surrender."
"Hmph! I warned you." Xue Liang said. "Don't regret it later."
********
As soon as he spoke, he sprinted toward Huan quickly.
"I need to end this fight only with a draw. Not with a win?! What a hassle! I could have won the match right away. Or did he think I would lose to a weakling like him? Whatever, I will only prolong the fight a little, and after a minute, I will end it with my technique. Maybe I will get additional rewards from the mysterious person."
"But he gave so much money." Xue Liang thought.
He received a lot of money from a mysterious figure for this. He said he would reward him if he ended the match with a draw.
~Clang
His sword clashed against Huan's, then he stopped to think and shout in his mind.
"Wait for me, my money!"
********
"Why are his attacks have no power?" Huan thought. "I saw his physical power was on a high level."
Huan was ready for a mighty clash. He even thought he would be blasted away. But nothing happened.
"What is he doing? I need to be careful." He thought and decided to play safe. So he also lowered his strength to match his opponent's.
The fight continued, and one minute passed.
"He can't fight at all. Hmph! Now I need to end it." Xue Liang thought and decided to end the fight.
He stopped for a moment and lifted his sword above his head.
"Mountain Slash: Slash the Stone!" He said the technique's name.
His spirit power rushed out and supported his sword. As a result, his sword glowed with spirit power.
"Take this!" he shouted as he attacked Huan.
Huan was also waiting for Xue Liang to get serious.
"Show me what you have got!" He also shouted and also used his technique.
"An arrow Strike" he shouted.
~Swish
The two attacks continued until…
~BOOOM
The two techniques clashed against each other and created a shockwave.
"Cough-Cough"
Both Huan and Xie Liang were blown away by the impact.
"You are not a weakling." Xue Liang as he slowly came. "But if this is all you got, our fight ends here."
{He is strong for his age and cultivation.}
{I need to end this quickly…} He thought.
"Mountain Slash: Slashing the Stone" He used his technique again.
Huan, who saw his opponent was already attacking again, tried to defend himself with his spirit power.
But...
"What? Why can't I use my spirit power? It isn't coming out..."
"Why can't I control it?"
Yes, Huan couldn't control his spirit power.
Therefore he was too late to block the attack.
~Swish
~Splurt
Xue Liang's attack reached Huan and landed where his previous injury was.
"Arghh!"
Huan shouted out loud.
"The fight ends. The winner is Xue Liang."
The referee stopped the match and declared the winner.
******
"Why didn't that kid defend himself?"
"Yes, or did his spirit power run out?"
"I think he used all his spirit power in his last attack so he couldn't defend himself."
"Yes, I agree with him too..."
"..."
"..."
The crowd was talking about the fight between Huan and Xue Liang. They said their opinions about why Huan couldn't defend himself.
One mysterious figure, who was wearing a hoodie, was watching the fight. He looked at the stage until a healer of a tournament came and left carrying Huan.
Then he also started to leave but he saw a girl who was running after Huan.
He looked at the girl for a moment and shook his head.
He then walked toward where Xue Liang went.
******
"What happened to him?"
Xu Luli asked the healer who checked Huan.
"I think he is ok."
"You don't have to worry about him. But-"
"Sis-ter?" At this moment another voice sounded.
"Huan!" Xu Luli looked at Huan.
"Sister... Where am I?"
"You are here with me... The healer was checking on you."
"What happened at the fight?"
"Why didn't you defend yourself?"
"I couldn't..."
"I couldn't control my spirit power."
Huan answered with a sad voice.
"What?! But how?"
Xu Luli was surprised to hear that so she couldn't stop herself from asking.
"I think I know the answer."
"I am an alchemist. So when I was checking/healing him, I discovered something unusual."
"And from my experience, I can say only one thing."
"Tell me, sir alchemist," Huan asked.
"You have been poisoned. And it is a poison that affects your spirit power."
"What?!"
Both Huan and Xue Luli were shocked after hearing the alchemist's words.
"This kind of poison will merge with the consumer spirit power and it will take control of it..."
"Only a fifth-grade Spirit Cleaning Pill can cure that..."
"But, tell me, boy. How did you get poisoned so easily?"
"But I didn't take any poison or pill..."
Huan said while trying to guess when he may have been poisoned.
"MMMMM..."
"I gave you a pill..."
Xu Luli said with a blushed face.
-"Eh?"
"You gave me a pill. When?"
Huan asked because he couldn't remember when he took it.
"Wh-when you were unconscious..."
"Where did you get that pill?"
The healer inquired.
"...I get the pill from my brother..."
Xu Luli said after a moment of thinking in a weak voice.
"In that case, your brother has poisoned this boy..."
The healer said with a guessing tone.
"Impossible?!"
"My brother would never do that!"
Xu Luli protested against the idea while shouting.
He knew her brother and his character. He would never do this kind of thing.
The healer looked at her and said:
"I am just stating the facts... You can check it out if you don't believe me."
"Yes, sister don't be sad. I know your brother. He can't do it"
Said Huan.
{Right?} He questioned himself but didn't speak out loud...
"Yes... My brother would never do that..."
