17 I am..

A young boy in black gi held a large ax just a few inches smaller than his own body. It looked bizarre for someone to hold a weapon around the same size as his own body, but the boy looked fierce with it. Strangely, the boy took the axe by his hand as if it were light as a feather.

The boy stared at a huge man nearly twice his height across the arena. The man stood in a stance holding the axe above his head, looking like he was ready to cut down something any minute.

"Hmm, This may be a little bit difficult. His stance is of the Great Arts, something that requires huge dedication. In order to achieve such skill, one must practice hard and it requires intense concentration and sometimes even holds a person's cultivation level back. It seems like Brother Qiang's talent is extremely high even in the Zhu Clan's standards." Zhu Long murmured to himself whilst looked at Qiang Tian Kuang's stance in astonishment.

"I will have to go all out!" Zhu Long thought as he bolted towards Qiang Tian Kuang. Even though the axe was around the same size as him, incredibly he was able to run with it and not shed a single sweat like it was and intention of his body.

Seeing Zhu Long rush towards him, Qiang Tian Kuang smiled and also jumped towards Zhu Long.

*CLANG*

Both the axes struck each other, pushing back both Zhu Ling and Qiang Tian Kuang.

"You truly are strong!" Qiang Tian Kuang smirked as he slashed the axe towards Zhu Long's feet.

"So are you!" Zhu Long responded as he jumped over Qiang Tian Kuang's axe and jumped towards his head, spinning like a wheel.

"Great Axe Defense!" A dome of qi surrounds Qiang Tian Kuang's body.

*Boom*

As Zhu Long's axe attacks the dome sending a huge shock wave towards all directions.

'This is a really wild fight' Elder Kong thought as he created a large force-field around the arena to protect the spectators from the shock waves.

"WAAHH! This... How can someone use the great axe soo efficiently? He looks even more skilled with it than Elder Qiang! And that power, how old is that mysterious person?!" A large voice spoke from the audience. Following him, many others also yelled in amazement at the scene beholding in front of them.

*Crack*

'How can he have this much power? Wait, Has Brother Lin even used his qi yet? I still haven't felt any qi fluctuations from his body. This.. Just how much is he hiding?' Qiang Tian Kuang was in deep thought as he analyzes the situation and was about to go crazy.

The strongest defensive move of the Great Axe Arts had just been broken by Zhu Long without even using qi. No matter how much Qiang Tian Kuang thought about it, he couldn't figure out nor explain how Zhu Long was able to break his defense without the use of qi and by only his physical strength.

"Great Arts, 1st form: Heavenly strike!"

Qiang Tian Kuang roared loudly as he madly swung his Axe towards Zhu Long's torso.

Zhu Long did nothing but dodge the barrage of attacks coming from Qiang Tian Kuang.

"I can't even catch up with any of the attacks. How can that guy dodge Elder Qiang's attack so efficiently?"

"Shit, if this goes on, I may lose my money. I shouldn't have put most of my money of Elder Qiang winning!"

Those watching the spar match were just bewildered by what was happening in front of them. Their Elder Qiang shows up with a mysterious youth to spar within the Arena. The mysterious youth who was around half the height of Qiang Tian Kuang then says that he has no weapon and states that he would use whatever weapon that Qiang Tian Kuang would use. Even with a weapon around the same size as his, the youth easily dodges their elder's attacks like it was nothing. All the spectators had only one question in their minds, Just who is this mysterious man?

*woosh*

Suddenly, everything slowed down for Qiang Tian Kuang...

' I'v..I've lost. Haha' He thought as he saw Zhu Long standing calmly on top of his axe's blade, perfectly balanced.

"Brother Lin is truly strong!" Qiang Tian Kuang spoke respectfully as he looks into Zhu Long's eyes trying to seek the truth of what just happened.

'This fight is a lot easier than I had expected. Those imps must have been truly powerful! That Old Demon was probably trying to kill me!' Zhu Long realized as he remembered the scene where he had run away from those imps that tried to kill him.

"Brother Qiang is also truly powerful. I'm sure that you will truly be a strong master in the future but your cultivation is being restricted. When you reach a higher understanding, your powers will truly shine!" Zhu Long explained calmly and he examined the slices and cracks on the ground caused by Qiang Tian Kuang's axe.

"Hmm? Brother Lin knows of the Arts that I am using? It seems like you are truly a man of mystery. But even so I have a few questions that I had been wanting to ask you, I hope brother could entertain me."Qiang Tian Kuang smiled wryly.

"Sure, ask away." Zhu Long smiled.

"Just how old is Brother Lin?"

When they heard the conversation between the two, everyone was eager to know as well and the whole arena turned silence like a graveyard. Such a power young boy filled with mystery... For one to be able to on par with their elder means one must have spent years in training.

Zhu Long chuckled slightly. He did not expect such a question to be asked. He looked at the man in front of him and answered him honestly. "Ah, this... I am… but 15 years old."

"WHAT!!!"

"HE MUST BE LYING! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"

"THAT'S RIGHT! HE MUST BE SOME OLDIE WHO USED HIS QI TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK YOUNGER, I DON'T BELIEVE HIM!"

There was chaos within the arena. Everyone was in disbelief about what they just heard.

"Brother, you're not joking right?" Qiang Tian Kuang doubtedly looked at the boy, he knew that Zhu Long won't lie to him, but it was too unbelievable and out of this world. To think he was able to go against him who have trained for years...

"Haha, why would I lie to you?"

Zhu Long smiled wryly as he looked at the commotion that had caused. He sighed and retreated thinking he better keep things to himself.

'I should keep my mouth closed sometimes.'
