Legend of the Monster
Chapters 120. Martial Tournament
The next day when the morning sun had appeared on the eastern horizon of the Five Color City, Ling Tian was already outside his room and was sipping tea while watching Xiao Jun who was practicing.
Suddenly Wu Dunrui instantly appeared beside Ling Tian with a face that looked panicked.
"Hehehe... It's okay, Uncle! Just leave Lihua like that, because it won't harm her as long as you follow all my directions."
Before Wu Dunrui conveyed the intent of his arrival, Ling Tian had already said in advance to calm him down.
The people inside the inn might not be able to hear the heart-wrenching screams from Wu Lihua. However, as a high-level Formation Master, Ling Tian could hear everything even though Wu Dunrui had set up Sealing Formations around his residence.
"So... What should I do, Young Master Ling?" Wu Dunrui asked in a slightly anxious tone.
"Uncle doesn't have to do anything. Let everything be taken care of by Auntie. I will also continue to monitor the state of Lihua from here. Relax, Uncle!" Ling Tian replied casually.
"All right! Then I'll go back first." Wu Dunrui immediately rushed back to his residence again.
Time kept turning fast, it did not feel like a month had passed. Wu Lihua's body had now become stronger than before, and his cultivation had also risen to the third stage of the Golden Star.
Ling Tian had also forged a Sky Level Heirloom weapon, which was a whip for Wu Lihua. Because, the student was very fond of martial techniques that use whips as his main weapon.
In the backyard of Wu Dunrui's residence was vast and also desolate. Ling Tian had first already set up a Sealing Formation at the venue.
"Lihua, pay close attention to every movement of this technique I want to demonstrate!" Said Ling Tian as he moved the whip that was in his hand.
"Good, Teacher!" Wu Lihua replied firmly.
Ling Tian immediately showed a technique that came from one of the Gods using the whip as his ultimate weapon. The technique was named, the Heaven and Earth Vibrating Whip Technique.
Ling Tian slowed down his movements for Wu Lihua to be able to clearly see through. The air around Ling Tian also seemed to fluctuate and it was as if it was shaking as he swung the whip in his hand.
Each movement is also very flexible like playing a long ribbon. A roaring sound could be heard as the whip seemed to be wrapped around the air around its range of attack. The whip continued to curl around very beautifully but was also very powerful.
After a while, Ling Tian had finished demonstrating the entire whip technique to Wu Lihua.
"Understand every move I've shown you! That technique is also all I have written on this paper. Learn it first!" Said Ling Tian with a warm smile.
"Good, Teacher!"
Wu Lihua immediately took out the paper, then combined his comprehension of every move Ling Tian had displayed with the technique already written on the paper.
Ling Tian then sat back down on the chair that had been specially prepared for him. While relaxing with Xiaohai who was lying on the floor, he continued to pay attention to the development of the training of the two students.
When there was even the slightest mistake, Ling Tian would immediately give them pointers and enlightenment. That way, Xiao Jun and Wu Lihua would instantly correct every mistake they made, until their techniques were both even more refined and did not look as rigid as before.
The days kept changing quietly. Without notice, almost another month had passed. Just a few days left when the martial tournament will arrive soon.
Already many genius cultivators of varying ages had gathered inside the Five Colors City, along with the Elders or senior cultivators who had brought them to attend the tournament.
The Five Colors City became increasingly crowded with the arrival of genius cultivators from various directions, who wanted to test their respective strengths. All the inns in the city became overcrowded, including Wu Dunrui's inn.
"Hmmm... Looks like, this martial arts tournament event will be a little interesting." Ling Tian muttered softly as he sensed what was going on outside of the Sealing Formation.
Some genius cultivators also started training in their respective courtyards. Sometimes, if they passed each other before doing their practice, they first looked at each other with condescending gazes at each other.
If this had turned into a big problem, then their Elders would have immediately intervened to disperse and reconcile.
Because, one of the rules of the martial tournament said, that cultivators who would participate in the event were prohibited from fighting outside the competition arena.
If those cultivators violated it, then they would be instantly disqualified and not allowed to enter the tournament anymore.
Ling Tian paid no heed to the problems that were happening with those genius cultivators. He only focused on continuously improving the abilities of Xiao Jun and Wu Lihua in order to become even stronger.
For now, Xiao Jun's cultivation level still remained at the eighth stage of the Golden Star, yet his strength had been on par with that of a level nine Gold Star cultivator.
A few more days passed, and finally the opening day of the martial tournament had arrived. The genius cultivators of the various Clans and Sects looked extremely conspicuous, as each of them showed off their power and powerful backgrounds to each other.
The streets have been filled with people who want to go to the city center where the martial tournament is held. Many of them were also high-level cultivators moving through the air.
"Hmmm... It's time. Let's go along with the others!" Ling Tian said as he smiled his trademark smile.
"Good, Teacher!"
Xiao Jun and Wu Lihua replied in unison.
Wu Dunrui and Xiu Rong were also already preparing to follow Ling Tian and the others to where the martial tournament event was live. As for Xiaohai, she remained in the inn because she was too lazy to attend such things.
Ling Tian then used his Qi energy to bring Xiao Jun and Wu Lihua darting flying into the sky, then was followed by Wu Dunrui and Xiu Rong who were behind him.
In just a few seconds, the five of them had reached the center of the city, right in front of the vast tournament arena.
They immediately descended and mingled with the other cultivators who were in line to enter the area where the martial tournament was taking place.
Ling Tian only smiled leisurely when he saw the cultivators from the powerful Clans and the great Sect still in the air, as if deliberately highlighting the level of power of each of them.
"Hehehe... Be proud for a moment! Because in a moment, your genius cultivators will be humiliated by my two disciples." Ling Tian said as he laughed softly in his heart.
After that, Ling Tian turned his head towards Xiao Jun who from the beginning looked uneasy as he continued to look left and right as if he was looking for something.
"Hmmm... What are you looking for, Jun? Could it be that you are feeling nervous from seeing many genius cultivators strong enough to fight you above the arena later on?" Ling Tian asked very quietly with a tone of astonishment.
"It's okay, Master! I just looked at and assessed the faces of the male cultivators I had just met. And so far, I've seen that none of them can beat your good looks."
"Uncle Huang has advised me, that if I find someone more handsome than you, then Master should immediately change the name of our Sect." Xiao Jun replied half in a whisper.
All the cultivators who had extremely sensitive senses, instantly turned around and stared strangely at Ling Tian and Xiao Jun.
