*Ding*"Start!"
Ban Ju was the first to act. He rushed at Zuhn with a spear in his hand.
_A Spear, wow. Haven"t fought this kind of weapon in quite some time._
Ban Ju was extremely quick with his spear, spinning is all around. Making Zuhn feel a little bit wary. Zuhn was done looking at the spear and got into his stance.
His dagger in hand, he moved towards Ban Ju. Zuhn didn"t get close enough to where he would get him.
Though, Ban Ju took the bait and tried to stab his spear at Zuhn. Zuhn smiled but felt a blood trickle down his chest. He looked down, a small stab wound was there.
_What? How did he hit me! I was out of his range._
"Like that? It"s one of my many trump cards. Haha"
Zuhn unlocked more of his power, leaving only 2/10 of it held back. This 2/10 was the strongest, so he rarely released more than this. When Ban Ju noticed Zuhn"s aura change, sweat went down his face.
"Y-You were concealing your aura that much? I-I can"t win against a peak Gold Rank."
_Peak Gold? Is it that much?_
The next time Ban Ju attacked his spear just bounced off Zuhn"s body.
Zuhn was slightly shocked about this, so was the whole crowd. The Sect leaders up top were very confused and wished they didn"t make a bet with Shi Huang.
"Shi Huang, How about we change the bet?"
"Yea! Shi Huang let us change the bet, this youth is a little too strong for us."
Shi Huang looked down at the two men and smiled.
"No turning back on your words. Even if he is at the Peak of Gold rank, two of you should be him, right?"
w.a.n.g And Zhou both looked at each other, they knew they made a mistake.
"Shi Huang, we are only at the early stages of Gold. How are we supposed to win against a peak gold?"
"Well, You two made the bet. What if the public heard that two sect leaders are going against their words? At that, it"s a 2v1."
w.a.n.g and Zhou were very scared if the youth below didn"t win against Zuhn. Then they were going to have to face him. Even though they were leaders of sects. If they lost then they would lose face.
People would leave their sects and they would become even farther below Shi Huang.
Down below the battle between the two youth"s has been going on for around thirty minutes. Zuhn was still battling strong, while Ban Ju was slowing down his attacks.
Both youths were hurt, but Ban Ju was severely hurt compared to Zuhn. At this point of the fight, Zuhn was just toying around with Ban Ju.
When Ban Ju figured out Zuhn was toying with him he came to a decision.
"Zuhn, Stop toying with me and kill me already!"
Zuhn shook his head as he slashed another cut in Ban Ju"s left arm.
"Fine."
Ban Ju took dropped his spear and pulled out a small dagger. He raised the dagger up in the air, saying a couple of words. Once he finished speaking he slashed his own neck.
Up where the three sect leaders were sitting, "No!" Screamed w.a.n.g. w.a.n.g ran down to the arena, he sent a powerful shockwave towards Zuhn. This sent Zuhn flying into a nearby wall.
Zuhn nearly coughed up blood but was able to get back up. w.a.n.g was next to the dead Ban Ju, holding him and whispering words to him.
Zhou also came down from the top and went over to w.a.n.g then looked back at Zuhn.
"You"re dying today"
Above Zuhn and the other two sects leader stood Shi Huang.
*Ding*
"I am Shi Huang, The Sect leader of Windwood! Today, I"m finally going to pick someone to become a disciple for Windwood."
The whole crowd started to cheer, it"s been forever since Shi Huang accepted a disciple from this compet.i.tion.
"As you know, I won"t just accept Zuhn on the fact that he killed Ban Ju."
Shi Huang looked down at Zuhn and nodded his head. Zuhn nodded back before pulling out his dagger.
"w.a.n.g and Zhou the two sect leaders of the second and third strongest sects in the region are going to face off against Zuhn. This fight will have no rules, they can kill each other."
Once Shi Huang finished talking the crowd cheered the loudest they every cheered. Shi Huang went down to Zuhn before the match started.
"Zuhn, I have high hopes for you. Take this."
Shi Huang handed Zuhn a small potion, "What"s this."
"That is a healing potion of sorts. It will heal all of your injuries, and increase your strength for a short while."
Shi Huang smiled before returning to the room above the arena.
*Ding*
"Good Luck to both sides! Start!"
The two sect leaders were wearing think sets of armor. They weren"t too heavy, they both had great speed. Zuhn decided this was the best time to use his full strength. Zuhn didn"t let any of his aura be held back.
When Zuhn released his aura the two sect leaders in front of him instantly slowed down. They both stopped for a moment to catch their breaths.
Shi Huang, on the other hand, was quite pleased.
_I knew that youth was still holding back strength. Though, I can"t believe that he really is at Early Martial Sky Realm_
When the other two sect leaders noticed Zuhn turned into someone that was Early Martial Sky, they both became nervous. Though they both knew that they couldn"t give up fighting.
They both nodded to each other before they both whispered under their breaths. Lightning and fire surrounded the two sect leaders.
"They are using their Trump Cards already" Shi Huang was slightly disappointed in the two men below.
_What are they using!_
Zuhn went into a blocking stance and got ready to receive the impact of the attack coming.
The two men"s eyes locked onto Zuhn and a huge release of power flew towards him. The two powers. .h.i.t Zuhn, this sent him flying into the wall. He coughed up blood and had blood running down his nose.
Zuhn wiped his nose and looked back at the men. Only this time, Zuhn"s eyes have turned into a dark red and a devilish smile appeared.
Zuhn rushed at the two men, Zuhn"s speed was hard to track with the naked eye. Only Shi Huang above them could see what was happening.
_d.a.m.n, Zuhn is quite the beast. Glad I noticed him_
Shi Huang smiled as he watched the fight below him.
The two sect leaders couldn"t keep up with Zuhn. Zuhn kept slashing every part of their bodies. Leaving blood to splash on the floor every second.
Zuhn aimed for w.a.n.g"s throat, but when Zuhn slashed at it something blocked it. Zuhn remembered when he tried to kill Charlotte she had the same thing. Only this one around w.a.n.g"s neck was a lot stronger.
He then went to try and slice Zhou"s neck but the same thing happened. They both had something around their necks that stopped him from slicing there.
Zuhn retreated a couple of meters before stopping completely. Zuhn looked up at Shi Huang and nodded his head.
*Ding*
"The battle is over, w.a.n.g and Zhou are both unable to continue fighting and have both forfeit. Meaning, Zhun is the winner!"
The crowd was quiet at first, a youth winning in a fight against two sect leaders. They knew that this youth wasn"t normal. After they were all done being shocked, the whole crowd erupted in cheers.
Zuhn sat on the ground, he was pretty tired from all of the fights that day. Shi Huang came down and stood above Zuhn.
"You did pretty well there, though it looks like you have demon eyes."
Zuhn didn"t completely understand, he just knew when he got serious his eyes would turn red and he would become super strong.
"Zuhn, Why don"t you join my sect?"
Zuhn looked up at Shi Huang, "No."
Shi Huang was shocked, he was going to speak but couldn"t.
"How about I make you a co.."
"No"
Shi Huang was getting slightly p.i.s.sed now.
"What do you mean no?"
"I mean, I don"t want to join your s.h.i.tty sect."
"Kid, This sect is the strongest in the region."
"Okay, Are you the strongest on the continent? If you are sure, but if your not… Then what rank are you?"
Shi Huang stuttered a little bit before speaking, "We aren"t the strongest, we are on the lower side in the continent."
"That"s what I thought, how about I join your sect but have no restrictions?"
Shi Huang thought for a little bit.
_If a Martial Sky Realm join the sect we will be pushed up to a 2.5 star at least._
Windwood"s only Martial Sky Realm member was Shi Huang. Shi Huang has been cultivating for twenty years and was able to reach it.
"Fine, You can join and have no restriction. Though, you have to be able to beat the top 10 core disciples. It"s not because I don"t think you"re strong, it is so you can earn respect."
Zuhn nodded his head, "Alright, I"ll join."
Shi Huang put out his hand. Zuh grabbed it and stood up.
"Welcome to Windwood."
