Chapter 277 - Tribulation Tournament Begins Part Two

Ah Chun did not say any more, she only used her connection with Xu Wei and said: "Big Brother Xu, tonight bring me the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Shi Quan. I want to meet with him." 

"Understood Young Miss." Xu Wei replied right away. Knowing that she could have a one on one with Shi Quan made Ah Chun feel a lot better. She wanted to find out if there was ever a Mei Liling in his sect. She truly wished to see the Mei Liling of this world if she even existed. Even if it was not as a mother daughter relationship, it was fine as long as she could meet with Mei Liling even if it was only for a short time. 

Ah Chun wanted to enjoy this new life of hers but she also wanted to hurry to return to the other world to save her mother and reunite with Ning Shen. She wondered if she would meet him once she broke free from the chains of this world and stepped into the realms others only dreamed of. 

Time ticked by and all of the sects had finally showed up. The one in charge of the Tribulation Tournament a grey bearded old man stood high in the sky and looked down at all the different sects and clans who were here. "Today will be the one thousandth time this Tribulation Tournament has been held. Each sect and clan have one person from each realm be it qi gathering, qi condensation, foundation establishment. Each one of these participants is the best of the best from each sect or clan. The only rule of this tournament is that there will be no interference from outsiders. There will be deaths! And if there are deaths no one is allowed to retaliate because of these deaths. Your loved ones, friends, and family members might die at any time while in the battle arena. If anyone and I mean anyone tried to take action due to the death of these loved ones, friends or family members. You will meet the same fate as the one who died." The grey bearded old man paused for a moment to make sure everyone heard him before continuing. 

"With that said let's begin! Everyone should move to their sections for their..." Another elder flew into the sky and whispered into the grey bearded old man's ear. "Ahem… It seems we have a  dual contestant this year."

Hearing the words dual contestant shocked the crowd that would mean that there was someone who was realm skipping and participating in more than one match! Each sect could only allow one person per realm to join the tournament. If there was a dual contestant didn't that mean that there was an extremely powerful new heaven's chosen!?

These thoughts spread quickly amongst all the contestants. The grey bearded old man smiled as he shouted out: "Alright calm down. Miss Ah Chun from the Jaded Dragon Sect, your fights for the Qi Condensation realm will be postponed until you finish the qi gathering realm fights.." 

The grey bearded old man's gaze fell on Ah Chun. When they registered everyone had to have their identity confirmed. This was so that if you died during the tournament. The officials would know which sect or clan you belonged to. This helped a lot since there were thousands of participants. 

Ah Chun only smiled as she heard her name called out. She did not mind all the gazes that were now upon her. It was bound to happen sooner or later at least now it was out of the way. But this would also work to her benefit if they decided to underestimate her. Of course, Ah Chun was not worried in the slightest. She would win two spots for the Cleansing Pools. She would give a spot to Peng An unless she can trade it for another twenty four hours of time in the pools.

Ah Chun had no doubt in her mind that she would win both sections of the tournament. It was just a matter of how fast she could win. She wanted to hurry along so she could get to the next stage of becoming stronger. The faster she could cultivate the better it was. She had suppressed her cultivation from rank two to rank one since she broke through. She was close to breaking through to rank three qi gathering. She only did this in order to make it seem that her cultivation was not that fast. The reason being was she did not want the extra attention. At her age she should not  even be in the qi gathering range but since she already was it was hard to hide this fact. So she had decided to suppress it until she was a bit stronger. If others got greedy and wondered why she was able to cultivate so fast they would definitely go after her in hopes of finding some rare treasure that could speed up their cultivation. But none of this mattered now since Ah chun had Xu Wei by her side. 

Ah Chun went to the qi gathering section and waited for her name to be called. This portion of the tournament they were setting the brackets for each realm. If you lost even once you were kicked out of the tournament there were no second chances. So even if you were strongest and were unlucky and tripped over your own feet and fell off the battle stage without anyone touching you, you would still be eliminated from the tournament without question. Losing your chance to make it to the top. 

"Jaded Dragon Sect's Ah Chun Vs Heavenly Sword Sect's Fu Hai!" Ah Chun heard the name of the sect and her Eyes gleamed with a chilling coldness.

"It's too bad I did not get to talk to Shi Quan first… Aw well, I can not pass up the chance to kill one of these bastards who do not care for their own sect members when faced with undefeatable power. I will just give Shi Quan one less mouth to feed and help him out for now."
