Chapter 48 - Moving Towards Main Tournament

After getting his Stand, Arno was called to his first fight...

Funny enough after showing his ability to fly, his opponent surrendered instantly.

Arno sighed hearing the referee declare his victory, he wanted to run some tests with his Star Platinum...

He floated down next to Raynor group.

"I really doubt there will be many volunteers who will fight a Sky Profound any time soon..." To Raynor words, Light snorted, she started to understand more in-depth how cultivation works, a Spirit Profound really doesn't have a high chance of winning against Sky Profound... or even having a proper fight... unless its a person with powerful legacy.

She did read some of the wiki to understand Qingyue birthplace.

But they didn't have the chance to talk, as the people around them started to gossip as they heard how a Peak True Profound defeated a mid-stages Spirit Profound.

"So it has started... the 'Dark Horse' is showing off..." Arno said to Raynor as his gaze went to the arena were Yun Che showed off his physical strength.

"This place is so weird..." Lightning said to Raynor.

Who only chuckled at her.

"Get used to it, they just love exaggerating... everything," Raynor said to her, Qingyue next to her nodded as well, so did Arno.

Soon enough Arno once again was called forth to fight.

Only that just like the last one the dude surrendered, so instead Raynor group focused on watching other matches...

Like the small plot created by Fen Juecheng who is trying to 'destroy' Yun Che because of Cang Yue is his 'girlfriend'...

What is amusing is that he is can't see that Yun Che is stronger than average Spirit Profound practitioner...

Yet he is bribing some dude from average sect to cripple him...

It's sad... but amusing to watch...

So Raynor just relaxed and watched Fen Juecheng expression when his 'plan' fails and he breaks a few chairs along the way...

it's far more interesting than watching the tournament.

Eventually, evening came and the first day is over...

"Do we even have a place to stay?" Arno asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We can always ask Villa Master to lends us a villa or something..." Raynor asked with shrug.

"... its sounds so... weird... asking for a 'villa'..." Raynor best friend said with weirded out expression.

"You will get used to it..." Raynor said to him, as they started to walk towards Villa Master who quickly noticed their approach.

"Master Raynor, how can my Villa help you?" The man said with borderline ȧss-kissing voice.

Raynor cringed hearing that, Lightning once again rolled her eyes seeing ȧduŀt acting like that in front of a teenager.

"We need a place to stay for this tournament." He quickly nodded hearing that, he personally showed were they going to stay...

When Raynor group saw their Villa...

"I believe its a palace... you said, you going to ask for a 'Villa'..." Raynor shrugged at his blonde friend.

"You should see how 'Villa' looks like in the Realm Of Gods..." Raynor remembered how a casual Villa look like in Royal Realms...

"Nah... I am skipping that, not really interested in 'Higher' realms... they usually exaggerate the stuff to insane levels over there..." Raynor nodded at that... that's why he usually don't read the other half of stories, when MC leaves for higher realm...

'Just like MGA... that novel story is like recyclable carrier bag, you can use it several times...' Raynor chuckled internally but then he thought about what he can do there if he goes there one day...

'Well, I can always go there to pick up Eggy...'

"Yeah... like MGA..." Raynor off-handly mentioned that novel.

Arno only deadpanned at him.

"Right... like MGA... how many chapter that thing has?" Arno asked him as they started exploring Palace which Heavenly Sword Villa calls a 'Villa'.

"Last time I checked around four thousand... that was a year ago..." Raynor said to him as they checked living room which is bigger then Raynor whole house...

"Yeah...that's why I prefer manga and comics..." The Blonde said to him.

"Heh...I agree with you, its good to read them when I was just starting to delve into this type of novels but then I noticed how similar they are to each other..." Raynor said to him as they found few soft couches to sit in.

For the next few hours, Raynor and Arno caught up what they did this summer, or Raynor case a year...

Arno looked at the guy in front of him.

'Finally, someone is not running away!' The Blond though with glee, he has an idea how to use his Star Platinum, after all, he saw the Anime, but he needs to be sure, before he can face Yun Che.

"I don't care if you are Sky Profound! you don't even look like a proper practitioner of Profound Arts!" His opponent said with a loud voice, as if trying to get his point...

"Well duh... I only got this cultivation yesterday, that's why I participating in this tournament, I need to find out how to use my powers properly." Arno said as if he is trying to explain his point.

The guy nearly passed out, hearing his answer.

He just started cultivating? but he is Sky Profound!!! Practitioners in Blue Wind cultivate for decades to reach Sky Profound! but this guy! He started at this level!!!

Bunch of Elders in stands coughed some blood hearing that...

"Well it doesn't matter then! does it? you just common man with high cultivation! you don't even know how to use it!" Arno opponent just smirked with confidence.

While Raynor in stands just smirked, he is finally ready to see how his created Stand will do!

"Match Start!" Referee shouted loudly by raising one hand.

Arno opponent, whose name's Raynor didn't even bother learning, dashed at his blonde friend, he was using a flashy looking sword, which Raynor learned is a Spirit Profound weapon.

Before this guy can do anything flashy, Star Platinum manifested from Arno's body and what happened next...

Well...

"ORA!" Star Platinum fist landed right into Arno opponent chin...

The dude was send flying so fast that it looked like he broke through speed barrier.

Raynor even used Time Laws to see this moment in slow motion...

"Ouch...he is going to feel that one for some time..." Raynor grimaced, after rewatching it in slow motion, his girlfriends nodded slowly, Star Platinum is brutal, that's the way it was created.

After Star Platinum display of power, no one else dared to fight him after.

~~~~~~Xia Qingyue (Frozen Cloud)~~~~~~

Her Other Self!!!

A version of herself she never dreamed of existing most importantly...meeting...

She was so powerful, Xia Qingyue never seen anyone wield so much power...

She could do anything, yet personally, Xia Qingyue was afraid to approach her and ask a few questions to which she needs to know the answer for!

Xia Qingyue needs to know things related to her mother, but each time she tries discreetly look at her own another version, she instantly looks towards Young Miss direction, and gives her what she consider's mocking smile...

The Young Miss doesn't even understand what is going on inside this version of her head, she is nothing like herself, she shows off much of her body, she has that smile which only a seductress should have, and worst of all she doesn't even have proper decency to...make out... in private...instead she does such things in public! PUBLIC!

After all each time Xia Qingyue looks at her other version, she is either mocks her with a smile, or sits in her man's ŀȧp...

Worst of all, Frozen Cloud Young Miss believes she does such things on purpose.

This is another thing which she wants to talk to her about, why she is doing this?

Aren't they the same person?

The Young Miss was brought back from her thought, as she finished off another low-level opponent, and Frozen Cloud Fairy was ready to call it day as this was her last opponent.

Tomorrow the main tournament starts, and she needs to focus but its hard thing to do when there is another version of herself walking among them, who probably knows much more then she could ever dream off...

As Xia Qingyue walks with her Master and Senior Master as well as her sister disciples, they meet someone surprising.

In front of her stands her younger brother, as well as... her husband... and of course Blue Wind Princess alongside an Elder from Blue Wind Profound Palace...

Before anyone can open their mouths, Xia Qingyue feels a pair of hands sneaking around her body...

This time she didn't react in an embarrassing manner...

She felt pair of hands fondled her...breasts for a second, Xia Qingyue bit her lower lip she didn't wanted to make some noise...

"Hey what are you doing to...Fairy Xia!" Yun Che asked her ȧssailant.

But he was ignored as a new voice spoke from behind them.

"Darling, why are you molesting your older version?" A smooth voice said to her other-self.

"Because she has bigger ȧssets then I do!" Xia Qingyue heard her other self voice close to her ear, it was completely opposite to her ice-cold and indifferent one...

"That because she is older than you, by a year and a half...now release her..." Frozen Cloud young Miss heard a huff and this ȧssailant released her hold on her brėȧsts.

Her counterparts man walked in front of them, Xia Qingyue can agree that her other self really knows how to pick her man.

She never seen someone...so manly...

"Now, now, Colder me! Raynor is mine! and he doesn't really like a girl who cultivate Ice arts like you~~~ I already told you that yesterday!" Her other self walked next to a man named Raynor, and she kissed him right in front of her...

She saw how her...husband started to nose bleed seeing this action... she wanted to tell him not to look, but she never was a proper wife to him in the first place... so doesn't want to sound like a hypocrite...

Moments later she saw how her counterpart lips separated from Raynor, there was a trail of saliva from their lips.

She gulped down seeing that herself.

"And that's how you kiss your lover, I guess such a thing doesn't come with years..." Once again Xia Qingyue felt like her counterpart is mocking her...again...

"...Why are you showing me this..." Xia Qingyue asked her counterpart, her other self 'smiled' at her.

"Because you are far too sheltered to my tastes...each time I see you want to do something to make you uncomfortable..." This time Xia Qingyue felt a chill go down her spine, this version of hers, made ever her master and Senior Master very uncomfortable... it's like she comes from one of those sects were they practise...questionable arts...

"Hey! stop ignoring me!" Xia Qingyue looked at the source of this voice, so did her counterparts group, all of them looked at Yun Che as if he is some interesting animal they observing in his natural environment.

"And you are?" The other Qingyue asked Yun Che.

"Yun Che! I am representing the Blue Wind Imperial Family!" Yun Che said proudly.

"Heh...so you are that guy who married her..." Xia Qingyue felt her counterpart hand on her shoulder.

"He kind off looks too feminine for my tastes...are you sure he is actually a man? but wait! did you test him out?" Xia Qingyue eyes widened, she started to blush intensively, while Yun Che started to shake in anger and embarrassment...

Doesn't she have no shame!!! why is she asking such questions?!?

"You really interested in such a thing Yue'er?" The man named Raynor asked her counterpart.

"But of course! it's my other me we are talking about!!!"
