Chapter 248 - Sect Tournament Part Two

Ah Chun stood at the end of the line of cultivators. Right now she was waiting to draw her lot. The actual matches would not take place until around noon time. Yi Chen was in front of her so she was not that bored waiting in line. He kept asking this and that about Li Chen Bao. 

After hours of waiting it was finally Yi Chen's turn. "Good luck! Remember do your best so you can impress my sister!" Ah Chun teased.

"I know! I will do the best I can!" Yi Chen seemed even more fired up now. Even if Ah Chun was teasing him the thought of wanting to do good in front of the girl he liked was something that gave him a push forward. 

Yi Chen walked over to the box and reached in. There was still a lot of tokens left inside. He shuffled his hand around a bit and pulled out a token. He looked at it read the number one hundred on it, then showed the number to the elder over seeing the drawings. "Drip a drop of blood on it. It will serve as your identification throughout the tournament."

Next up was Ah Chun's turn the elder saw Ah Chun and was a bit surprised by her appearance. But it was not the first time he had come across a disciple with altered appearances. Some of them came from very powerful clans as their bloodline came from ancient beasts that took human form and mated with a human. So seeing Ah Chun he was a lot more respectful then he was to the others. He smiled and gave a slight bow before saying: "Please take your time and get the number you feel is right for you." 

Ah Chun thought nothing of his words and just quickly reached in and took whatever was on top. She did not care what her number was she would have to fight eventually so it did not matter what the number was. "Number one." 

"Then please drop a drop of blood on it and keep on your person. It will serve as your identification during the tournament." The Elder smiled as he said this.

Elder Dan who was up in the seats for elders chuckled to herself inwardly as she thought: 'This Elder Lim thinks Chun'er is from a large powerful clan. I wonder what he would think if he knew he was giving special treatment to an orphan. He would probably spit blood then try to take revenge on Chun'er.' Elder Dan decided she would watch Elder Lim's movements from now on. She knew this elder well he was the type who would treat the powerful clans with respect while treating all the rest like trash.

Ah Chun did as she was told and nipped her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the token that was hexagonal shape causing it to faintly glow. After which she went and found Yi Chen and stood beside him. 

After all the disciples who were participating in the tournament picked their numbers the Sect Master once stood up. He waved his hand to signal a few elders to start the array. A large dome barrier covered each stage and in the sky, a large screen that was created by a special array showed each stage up close.  Next to the screen was another array setup that was a tournament bracket. The Sect Master yelled out in a loud voice. "When your name appears in the bracket go to the stage it says and begin your battles."

Ah Chun's name appeared right away since she was number one. Yi Chen's name also appeared but he was on a different stage. Ah Chun wished Yi Chen good luck and headed off to her stage. Her opponent was a teenage girl who was around sixteen years old. Ah Chun was not going to act arrogant in this tournament she was going to take every battle seriously. She wanted to gain access to the cleansing pools. So she took out the wooden sword that Elder Dan gave her.

Unfortunately for Ah Chun, the girl who watched Ah Chun take out a wooden sword instantly got angry. "Are you even taking this tournament seriously? You take out a wooden sword in a fight where you might accidentally die? " 

"Umm… This is so that I do not kill my opponent by accident..." Ah Chun answered honestly. She did not want to accidentally kill the girl!

"You sure talk big for a little girl!" The had veins popping out of her head as her face turned red with anger.  She felt that Ah Chun was ridiculing her! Bringing a wooden sword into a battle was a huge slap to her face. The teenage girl's anger clouded her judgment and she rushed towards Ah Chun intending to find some relief for the rage that was building up within her.

Ah Chun let out a long dejected sigh. Her first battle was in the tournament turned out to be a teenage girl that was full of herself. Ah Chun easily sidestepped the girl's attack and with a spin, she used her tail and whacked the girl who was now off guard. Knocking her speedily across the stage. The girl let out a cry of pain as she flew like a kite. She did not hit the girl with her full strength. She actually wanted to extend this fight a little more and teach this teenage girl a bit of self restraint and that she needed to show respect for those around her.
