I alone am the Honoured One!

Chapter 176  Ling Chao's fight!

After a short while, the participants entered the designated area and were then chosen at random to be divided into groups consisting of ten participants each and allowed to fight in the arena. *clank* *boom* Sitting on the armrest of the throne, Zhao Tian glanced down at the fight that was happening often having small conversations with Ning Xue.

Ning Huang also took side glances at Zhao Tian and Ning Xue "Seems like they know each other very well."

A sigh escaped Ling Xin's lips "That was honestly a surprise. I have never seen Sister Xue being so fond of any man before."

*boom* Looking at the fight, Zhao Tian smiled faintly, and Ning Xue spoke "This year's talent from the Lunar Blossom Pavillion also seems good."

"Yeah..." Zhao Tian gave a nod looking at Ling Chao's fight.

*swoosh* A powerful gust of wind swept through Ling Chao, sending the final two participants flying off the arena floor The force of the wind was so strong that it felt like a fierce storm had suddenly descended upon them, tossing them about like rag dolls. "Oh, she took 9 of them by herself and is already in the 8th level of Soul Astral Stage when she is just 46 years old, not bad." Ning Xue spoke amused.

The audience also saw her display of power and clapped their hands, applauding and cheering for her strength.

Ling Chao raised her head, glancing at Zhao Tian at the podium for a brief moment before leaving the arena.

Ning Xue also noticed Ling Chao's gaze "You know that girl?"

Zhao Tian nodded his head "Yeah..."

The preliminary rounds continued and many competitors from different Sect were eliminated. At the same time, many talents were also passed to the second part of the competition.

Again the voice of the announcer echoed through the arena "Now let's move on to the second part of this tournament of today."

"From now on, it is simple.. it will be 1 vs 1 battles. But don't worry, even if you lose in this match, you will still get a chance to fight once more."

"Okay! I guess, everyone understood the rules... let's start."

Zhao Tian glanced at Ning Xue and asked "Xue, do I need to join now?"

Ning Xue shook her head "No, you have to join tomorrow from the third round of the competition and if you win, I'll fulfill my promise." she replied a smile playing on her lips.

"You know very well I would win." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Haha..."

The second round of the competition continued, while some emerged victorious, others faced defeat. But the people who lost don't have to be sad as they get another chance to fight.

*woooshhh* Ling Chao who was battling in the field moved quickly avoiding the opponent's attacks.

Chen Li who was fighting her, swiftly swung his spear but Ling Chao effectively blocked it with her forearm and pulled back her right fist as wind energy swirled in her fist.

But before she could punch him, Chen Li cleverly maneuvered the spear, and the shank of the spear hit her abdomen. *gasp* Ling Chao's eyes widened in shock as the spear hit her gut and *thoom* she blasted away from the arena.

*swish* But she quickly regained herself and brushed away the blood trickling down her lips, again jumping into the arena to fight.

Ling Xin who was sitting in the VIP area had a frown on her face "This fight is hard for Chao'er."

Ling Chen gave a nod "Chen clan has cleverly done things. Chen Li is right at the age of 50 and has reached 1st level of Spirit Astral Stage. Seems like Chen clan is trying to regain their status as the top Sect."

Meanwhile Chen Clan in the VIP room-

The first elder of the Chen Clan, Chen Hao was laughing "Haha, that's my son there... see how he dominates the arena."

"Our Young Master will win this tournament."

"Yeah, no doubt."

"Even Stormweaver Sect could not."

"Dumb, don't forget they are our allies."

...

Chen Li chuckled seeing Ling Chao who had bruises all over her face and was bleeding from her mouth taking heavy breaths "Little girl, did you really think you could defeat me? Women shouldn't be here."

Ling Chao slashed her hand and suddenly a large slash made of wind cleaved through the air. Caught off guard by her sudden attack, *kleech* the slash fell on his chest as his robe tore blood oozing from his body.

"Urghhh!" Chen Li grunted in pain "You damn..." *sleech* Chen Li moved his spear as the dull part of the shaft again pierced through her abdomen and this time the force was powerful as the spear that ripped through her flesh. *puchi* As Ling Chao's gut was pierced, a gush of blood erupted, causing her eyes to quiver in pain. In a state of excruciating pain, she collapsed to her knees, desperately clutching her stomach. "Chao'er!" Ling Xin and Ling Chen quickly jumped from the VIP space into the arena ground. Ling Xin rushed towards Ling Chao and squatted down, helping Ling Chao "Chaor'er". "S-Sect Master..." Ling Chao's voice trembled as she fell on Ling Xin's arms. "*swish* A pill bottle appeared in Ling Xin's hand and she took a healing pill "Chao'er here..."

She tossed the pill in Ling Chao's mouth hoping she would heal soon.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen turned her cold eyes at Chen Li as a sword appeared in her hand.

H-Huh? Chen Li's heart skipped a beat as he was taken aback by the piercing gaze of the veiled woman in front of him. The announcer's voice resonated through the arena, addressing the situation that had unfolded before them "Miss Elder from Lunar Blossom Pavillion. You should not attack the competitors just because your disciple got beaten." "It's against the rules and if you try to do something, your disciple will be disqualified from this tournament."

Chen Hao stood up from his seat and spoke "Elder of Lunar Blossom Pavillion, it is your disciple's fault for being incompetent. In battles like this, it is easy to get injured. She has to be careful. Haha."

Ling Xin spoke looking at Ling Chen "Chen'er, calm down. We need to treat Chao'er first."

Ling Chen gripped her sword tightly but she controlled her emotions and directed her gaze towards Zhao Tian on the podium 'Sect Guardian, you just stand there silent looking at your Sect getting shamed like this?'

Zhao Tian had a slight frown on his face and he asked casually "Xue, can I kill a competitor during a fight?"

Ning Xue shook her head understanding his anger "Anything other than killing goes."

A smile appeared on his lips "I am joining the tournament now and make me fight that Chen Li guy."

Hearing this Ning Xue narrowed her eyes "If you are gonna fight him, I have a favour to ask you."

"Hm?" Zhao Tian glanced at her with a raised eyebrow.

"I also have a personal grudge against that clan, cripple his cultivation. Do anything you want, this Queen will be on your side."
