It took some time until all five hundred partic.i.p.ants were drawn and listed on the screen. Zi Jiao took out the ball which had the number 400, it would fight the person who types the number 401. There was a week of rest until the fights began.

Zi Jiao returned to the Xiao clan and celebrate with the women, she was a bit nervous about the next phase. Each of the women began to encourage her to do the best in the fight in a week, that sort of thing made her extremely happy, and made every moment she spent was worth it.

The women had fun for a few days so Zi Jiao would calm down and stay focused on the tournament. Xinyue can only have fun with her a bit, as she had to go back to the sect to train again, after speaking a few words of encouragement, she returned with some elders from the Xiao clan and the sect.

The seven days pa.s.sed quickly ...

The arena of the alliance was much more lively than before, as the fights this time was individual and each could show their skills better. The arena was divided into ten smaller arenas, this was to have more fights at the same time.

The twenty partic.i.p.ants were already in the arenas waiting for the signal. With the sound of the bell, the beginning of the fights was authorized.

The audience was excited as they cheered for the fighters, friends, comrades, and supporters were shouting phrases of encouragement.

The partic.i.p.ants were already with their weapons in hand when the bell was touched, the moment the bell rang, some began to cast spells, while others charged towards the adversary without giving chance for the magic to be completed.

To avoid being hit, those who were casting spells began activating protection items to have enough time until the spells were complete. Some managed to protect themselves and managed to conjure up spells and defeat their opponent with only one blow, while others failed to protect themselves and were defeated.

Although they were powerful, those who used magic had two great weak points, which was the casting time of powerful spells and the bodies were very weak, this would make the opponent have the chance to win a fight before the spell was complete. But when the spell is complete, it was the victory for sure in a one-on-one fight.

While those who were melee were strong, but the magic defense was weak, any kind of magic would do a lot of damage. In contrast, physical defense and vitality were extremely high, and are known as flesh s.h.i.+elds.

The twenty fights ended quickly and soon afterward the next round of fights began. Some fights were quick, while others were slow.

The fights between partic.i.p.ants of the same cla.s.s were more brutal, while of different cla.s.ses were more strategic.

Sometime later, came the turn of Zi Jiao, her opponent was a handsome young man looking 23-25 years old, he was wearing light steel armor, there was a big bow on his back, the young man had a look of l.u.s.t on his face as he stared at Zi Jiao.

"Miss Zi Jiao, nice to meet you, my name is Pan Jian, I am a member of the Pan-Clan of the Third World. I hope we can have a good fight. "Despite Pan Jian"s polite words, he could not hide the l.u.s.t in his eyes.

Zi Jiao realized this fact and only waved at the presentation of Pan Jian, she managed to realize some of his intentions.

Pan Jian and many other young clans and influential sects had the interest aroused in Zi Jiao after she showed her talent, whether by her strength or beauty. But everyone knew that she was a servant of Liu Yang, this fact made all the young people who were attracted to Zi Jiao felt jealous and envy because he already had two beautiful and powerful women, but now he got one more, even that is by accident.

These young people who were interested in Zi Jiao were also being encouraged by the older generation, as they also saw her talent in battle, and adding that she achieved an extremely rare and powerful cla.s.s along with the innate talent that was also quite rare.

In the future, Zi Jiao could become an extremely powerful warrior who could fight the races that had extremely high physical strength like they were nothing. Currently, she was at level 470 and had 3137 in the Strength attribute, that amount of force was something that even Liu Yang at level 600 would not have, any level 470 who fought against Zi Jiao in close combat would be killed by her.

Because of these factors, many young people had the interest to court her, but it was a pity that Zi Jiao never left the courtyard of Xiao Xi, so no one has ever been able to talk to her so far. Even in previous fights, for she was always escorted by elders.

As for Zi Jiao"s status, only the women of Liu Yang knew that Zi Jiao had become his concubine, and was no longer a maid. Liu Yang had intended to give her the status of wife, but Zi Jiao strongly refused because she was an employee of the Heavenly Palace, a place where maids were treated as objects to satisfy customers.

Zi Jiao did not want the others to talk about Liu Yang because of her, but he did not care about it and insisted that she should have more status than a simple maid. After much insistence, Zi Jiao accepted the first concubine statuses.

She felt very happy at the time, for Liu Yang"s insistence showed that he cared much for her. Zi Jiao did not need anything but her man, she had already decided that her life would be just for him.

Liu Yang joked a little with her in those days saying that she would still have to strain herself in bed so that both of them could have a child. Zi Jiao was extremely happy and embarra.s.sed by these words that day, but that did not stop her from trying harder during the activities so that they could both have a child. The same was true for other women.

Pan Jiao realized that Zi Jiao did not give her face, instead of introducing himself, she just nodded. This made him extremely angry, he was a young master of an influential clan, but now a mere maid was being disrespectful to him.

He had the purpose of holding on to Zi Jiao because he had an interest in her, but now that she did that sort of thing. Pan Jian reconsidered this and would fight with all his might.

Holding the bow in his hands and aiming toward Zi Jiao, Pan Jian was waiting for the signal for the beginning of the fight. Zi Jiao just kept her fighting posture, she was wearing the heavy armor set that totally protects the body, the heavier parts were the gloves and boots that served as an attack weapon.

Seconds later ...

Tong ... !!! Tong ... !!!!

The sound of a bell is heard, this marked the beginning of the fight.

Zi Jiao stepped heavily on the ground and her body was like an arrow being fired with extremely high speed. Pan Jian was prepared for this, he knew that Zi Jiao would try to approach to quickly finish the fight.

Pan Jian used the skill of the wood element to create several trees on the spot and then used the element dark to create dark shadows across the arena. After that, he used an ability to hide in the shadows of the trees.

When Zi Jiao arrived within the small forest that Pan Jian had created, she could not locate him in any way.

Shuooo !!! Shuooo !!! Shuooo !!!

Several sounds are heard and then arrows are fired toward Zi Jiao from several different directions. She jumped several times to dodge all the arrows.

"Miss Zi Jiao, you better give up this fight, inside my Shadow Forest, I"m invincible, I never lost a fight when I use this ability." Pan Jian"s voice is heard inside the forest, but Zi Jiao could not detect where he was.
