"God....." Huo Bing smiled watching Xika match. "That boy is getting smarter. He even covered up the fact that he could use a lot of elements."

Heiliao beside him also nodded in agreement. Hiding power is indeed important in this competition. Also, Xika's control is getting better. He really only used the wind element throughout this match.

Liu Shang gritted his teeth. Xika is a genius. But he won't lose here. Perhaps for the big sects this competition was just a show of strength, but for the small sect where it came from, this was the place to prove their strength.

Perhaps, there were some big sects who were impressed and willing to cooperate with a small sect or maybe even a big sect was willing to overshadow a small sect. It could also be a disciple from a talented small sect recruited by a large sect. Then when their disciples had matured, they would return and bring glory to their sect.

Liu Shang himself wanted to advance his sect. Indeed, he had not long been in the Rising Flow Sect. But the sect itself had taught itself quite a lot. He felt he had to return the favor. So, he can't lose here!

The water ladder supporting Liu Shang's legs grew bigger and exploded. As a result, Liu Shang was able to move places quickly.

BOOM UP!

A SHOCK!

SRAT!

Despite that, Xika's attack was not weak either. Fortunately, he only scratched a little.

THE SNACK!

Liu Shang returned to the arena thanks to the water explosion. Beside him, his water dragon circled around the arena vigilantly. He gave Xika a sign by defacing his finger.

Looking at Liu Shang's hand, Xika smirked. Then he went back to the arena. Unfortunately, just as he was about to set foot in the arena, something held him back.

Water water.

Around the arena was filled with water so it looked like an aquarium. Nothing holds water around the arena. The aquarium was tall enough that Xika's entire body was submerged in water.

"Since when?" Xika looked around in shock. Then it awakens. A moment before Liu Shang gave him the mark, his water dragon surrounded the arena. Perhaps it was at that moment that he filled this arena with water. Quickly he coated his head with wind for disguise.

Giving a wry smile, Liu Shang looked at Xika. He turned his water dragon into a piece of water. After all, in large size alone the water dragon lost, especially with a small size? But fortunately Xika was hooked and got into her technique.

Now is the time to take the next step. He closed his eyes for a while before looking back at Xika. This time with a grin on his face. While pointing at Xika, he shouted,

"Forward!"

With furrowed brows, Xika looked around her. He tried to guess which direction Liu Shang would attack from but the man was silent in front of him.

Suddenly, Xika sensed that something was approaching. There was nothing around him, but why did he feel that something was approaching?

SRPR!

From left!

Although Xika can't see, but he obeys his instincts by avoiding. Unfortunately, his movements were hampered due to the water around him. So, his left arm was scratched. And make the blood float because of the surrounding water.

Seeing Xika's reaction, Liu Shang smiled widely. This was one of his techniques, the Water Field of Prison. By making a plot full of water, he can make weapons out of water and his enemies will not notice. That's what he just did to Xika.

However, because Xika is a genius, she can sense which direction her attacks are coming from. Well, what can I do. He would continue to launch attacks until Xika surrendered.

A SHOCK!

Again Xika felt an oncoming attack. This time more than one. His instincts said to dodge, but his body became slow due to the water around him. It seemed that Liu Shang made this water not only to hide his attacks but also to restrict the movements of his opponent.

That's a great technique. But Xika won't lose here. He would win and make his name echo throughout the dynasty to let his uncle know.

SHUSUH!

Xika made clawing movements towards those attacks. The sound of wind tearing water rang out. Then followed by the sound of several attacks colliding. After a while, no attacks came towards Xika. It seemed that he had managed to guess the direction that all of the attacks were coming from correctly.

Liu Shang glared fiercely at Xika again breaking her nurse just like that easily. Well, actually one of the most influential factors was that Xika was also a Water Cultivator, so she could feel what was happening inside this aquarium as clearly as Liu Shang.

But like Xika, Liu Shang would not give up so easily either. Xika was currently in her trap, in her arena. This is an advantage for him. So Liu Shang made a gripping motion with both hands.

In an instant, Xika felt all the water around her pressing down on her. His body became heavier to move. Unfortunately, the attacks came back. It felt like he was fighting water control with Liu Shang. But he could not reveal all his abilities in the preliminary round.

A SWUSH!

Even if she could not move her body, Xika could still send out attacks in the form of wind elements. After that, he tried to free himself. Indeed, Liu Shang had the advantage in this aquarium, but he still felt the wind within this water prison although faint. Perhaps Liu Shang had also not mastered this technique too much.

Xika uses the existing wind element to help her move, then she tries to make a gap from this aquarium so that the wind from outside can enter. That way the wind that he could use would be more and more. Liu Shang also realized Xika was trying to tear down her water prison, so he closed her aquarium.

The two looked at each other and each found a strong determination in each other's eyes. A fight between the elements is taking place. Wind against water. In such a situation, one's control over the element determines victory.

Fortunately, Xika has the edge when it comes to element control. He was already experienced in controlling the five elements, so this was easy for him. Although there was only a little wind, but Xika managed to tear a little prison of this water so that there was a gap and made more wind from outside in.

Liu Shang gasped in shock. The wind that came increasingly messed up his control of this aquarium. That moment was certainly not wasted by Xika. He turned his hand and all the wind in the aquarium rotated to form a tornado.

"Damn!" Liu Shang could no longer defend his aquarium. Tornado Xika turned increasingly tight until it finally flew all the water. As a result, an unfortunate portion of the audience found themselves wet from head to toe.

"Huh.huh....huh......"

Xika looked at Liu Shang. His breath has hunted. Looks like the aquarium just ate enough qi. But the fighting spirit in Liu Shang's eyes did not diminish in the least. In fact, it seems to be increasing. He became smiling. Liu Shang's spirit is indeed worthy of a thumbs up.

"Do you know the story of the fish that turned into a dragon?" asked Liu Shang suddenly. He was about to make preparations for his final technique while distracting Xika.

Xika frowned at Liu Shang's sudden question. "Will that be the epitome of hard work?"

"Yes." Liu Shang replied. "Every year, there are many fish swimming against the flow of the waterfall. Although they failed, they always tried again and again. One day, a fish succeeded. The fish managed to swim against the waterfall and through the Dragon Gate located above the waterfall. After passing through the gate, the fish turned into a mighty dragon that could fly freely through the sky.

The story symbolizes struggle. The fish are likened to humans, while the waterfall is likened to difficulties that always come. After going through the various tribulations, we will eventually reach the top and turn into dragons."

Liu Shang looked at Xika with an indecipherable look. "Do you? I always thought of myself as one of the fish in that story. And the waterfall is you, the genius. I've fought geniuses many times, but in the end I always lose.

But this time, the results will be different. This time it will be my last jump. After this I will defeat you and turn into a dragon!"

Slowly, water qi gathered on Liu Shang's arm. The man made some strange moves and the horses before stopping. Then, the qi on Liu Shang's arm turned into a small fish.

Liu Shang swung his arm and the little fish shot towards Xika carrying all his hopes and determination. The hope that her small self will one day be able to turn into a mighty dragon who need not fear anyone anymore. The determination that even if he fails, he will rise again until his hope becomes real.

Xika did not dare to underestimate Liu Shang's attack. He could also feel the determination and hope contained in the attack. And, the little fish slowly changed. He began to grow, then his body began to lengthen, his scales changed, until finally the little fish turned into a dragon.

"Defying Destiny: The Fish That Turn Into Dragon!"

Now before Xika, a dragon bigger and stronger than before appeared. This time the form is not formed from water and looks faint, in fact, the dragon this time looks real and alive. It was as if the dragon was actually here and was not formed from Liu Shang's qi.

"GROARRRH!!!"

WUSH OFF!

THE SNACK!

Xika swung her hand and threw giant wind blades towards the dragon. He only managed to release a few of the dragon scales.

BOOM!

The dragon slammed into the ground to destroy Xika and Liu Shang's fighting arena, except for the patch Liu Shang stepped on. Supervisor Arena to be confused about which one was previously a fighting arena. He decided that when Xika set foot on the ground was the moment when Xika lost.

While trying to avoid, Xika tried to find a way to overcome the dragon without showing his full ability. Unfortunately, that's a hard thing. If you use her full ability, maybe Xika can combine Single and four elements to fight the dragon. It also doesn't necessarily work.

This time, he could only use the wind element. It might be more appropriate to call it impossible. But, after all Xika had done many impossible things to date. He doesn't plan to stop now.

With a twist of her hand, Xika produced an even bigger and destructive wind. Unfortunately, that is not enough either. Again only the scales were removed. Then the dragon approached. Xika is back.

In the remaining arena, Liu Shang looked at Xika with a bitter smile. He had already deployed his strongest technique, and Xika could still run around here and there while giving a counterattack.

"HEY!"

After jumping Xika gave a powerful kick to the dragon's head. Of course the dragon was not as scattered and shrunk as before. But at least the dragon opened its mouth, either out of anger or pain.

"THE GRAORR!!"

It seemed that the dragon roared in annoyance. Xika's attack didn't hurt him, but just bothered him and angered him. But Xika did not intend to hurt the dragon with her tent just now. He was just trying to make the dragon open its mouth. And it worked.

As the dragon roared, Xika breathed as much wind into the dragon's mouth as possible. Then, he controlled the wind to damage the dragon from within. The dragon swirled around as if it looked in pain.

Liu Shang looked at his dragon with a bad premonition. Since the two were fighting in the air, he didn't really understand what was happening, but somehow it seems Xika managed to injure his dragon. A short while later, Liu Shang's premonition proved to be true.

His dragon exploded due to the wind of Xika tearing him apart from the inside.

"GOSH!" Liu Shang instantly coughed up blood. His dragon was directly connected to him as it was formed from his qinya. So the attack his dragon received had an impact on him as well. After that, his head immediately dizzy and his legs wobbly. Looks like it's going to fall in a minute......

HYUNG!

THE SET!

THE TEP!

"Eh? What's he doing?"

"Why did he help his opponent? Wouldn't he have won if his opponent had fallen?"

A moment before Liu Shang fell, Xika managed to hold him back. His actions successfully made all those watching confused. Even Liu Shang himself with his remaining consciousness looked at Xika in confusion.

"Why....you....help me....?" tanyanya.

"Because I'm not a genius. I'm not a waterfall. I am also just a weak and often unsuccessful fish like you. Because you're just like me. Shouldn't the weak help? And again.it seems that we have not been properly acquainted. After meeting you, can we be friends? We have already fought, so we already know each other." Xika said with a smile repeating Liu Shang's sentence a few days ago.

"Damn...next...I will definitely......" Liu Shang smiled weakly, then he pushed Xika with all his strength and dropped to the ground.

"Arena 1, the Xing Xika of Mu Zhan Academy won!"
