The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 155: Young Swordsman Tournament ~Babak Eight Big
Thin rays pierced through the clouds, bursting out and scattering the sky illuminating the world with the chirping of birds on this beautiful morning.
The morning dust enveloped Peach Peak, Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue woke up almost simultaneously as the sunlight came into direct contact with their eyelids.
Xue Bingyue looked at the white fox mask that Jing Yang was wearing before standing up and rubbing both of his eyelids.
Jing Yang himself enjoyed his sleep tonight. He could really fall asleep after knowing Xue Bingyue was beside him and within his reach.
The two returned to the inn after enjoying the sunrise at Peach Peak. The two of them went down the hill listening to the chirping of the birds singing around them.
Today was the day Xue Bingyue had been waiting for, because if she could win all the matches of the Young Swordsman Tournament, then she could see Jing Yang's face directly.
While Jing Yang had already anticipated that Xue Bingyue would come out as the winner. The power belonging to the Black Spirit and the White Spirit would he use in anticipation if Xue Bingyue would suffer the same agony earlier.

Today, the stadium where the Young Warrior Tournament is held is filled with spectators, most of whom are warriors.
Tian Taohua still led the Young Swordsman Tournament as the match referee. And the eight participants who would become the main stars of the Young Swordsman Tournament were present in the middle of the arena match field.
Before the last eight round of the Youth Swordsman Tournament was held, Kung Taoji gave a speech and congratulations to the eight participants.
This Peach Peak Patriarch had several times seen Sky Elder Wu Taofan conversing with the Blue Tower Sect Patriarch named Shuang Ciu.
Indeed this round of eight, the number of spectators who saw the Young Swordsman Tournament increased briefly beyond yesterday. Kung Taoji felt that there were many irregularities within his sect residence. Although Kung Taoji knew that the relationship between the Sky Elder and the Earth Elder was not good, he hoped that the two Peach Peak Elders would not do the thing he was thinking about right now.
As the sun rose, Tian Taohua immediately summoned the two participants who would compete in the opening match of the last eight of the Young Swordsman Tournament.
“Tian Yuan! Xu Jianbao's! For both participants please go forward!” Tian Taohua said as he looked at Tian Yuan who jumped down followed Xu Jianbao.
The two participants who would compete in this opening match were both representing the biggest sects in the Yin Empire. Neither Tian Yuan from Peach Peak nor Xu Jianbao from the Sacred Sword Sect, both of them were risking the pride and big names of their sects.
As usual before the match, Tian Taohua explained the rules of the match to Tian Yuan and Xu Jianbao who were the participants.
Finished explaining, Tian Taohua gestured for Tian Yuan and Xu Jianbao to take some distance. After the two participants were in the predetermined distance, Tian Taohua closed his eyes before starting the opening match of the last eight.
“With this the match begins!” Tian Taohua started the opening match, followed by Xu Jianbao who drew his sword and moved to launch the opening attack on Tian Yuan.
A cross slash aimed at Tian Yuan, an exchange of attacks instantly occurred as Tian Yuan greeted him.
In terms of his own strength Tian Yuan was superior to having reached the saint swordsman, while Xu Jianbao had only reached the white swordsman.
Many of the spectators were amazed by Tian Yuan's swordplay, but some also realized that Tian Yuan was nothing more than a young man who could not think of introspection and only wanted praise.
Xu Jianbao frowned when he realized Tian Yuan was not serious about fighting him. Even after he took out dozens of moves, Tian Yuan still did not budge and only greeted each of his attacks casually.
“I heard you were humiliated by the young man in the city below this peak? It seems like the Blue Moon Palace Matriarch already has a heart, and that person is certainly open to you right?” Xu Jianbao who was irritated at not being able to land Tian Yuan's sword slash began to provoke.
Xu Jianbao himself was also still unable to fall asleep calmly after seeing Xue Bingyue so with the mysterious young man who was none other than Jing Yang. What was most painful to Xu Jianbao when he saw Xue Bingyue sleeping on Jing Yang's boat, moreover, he saw Xue Rong herself covering the two with a cloth as a blanket.
Tian Yuan who was calm started to put on an annoyed expression as he recalled Jing Yang killing one of Wu Taofan's subordinates.
“The young man will sooner or later die because of my father.”.
“Because your father doesn't care about you at all and you studied with the Earth Elder. True not my words, if wrong then correct Senior Tian!” Xu Jianbao smirked viciously at the sight of Tian Yuan sculpting. Without a cue, his sword landed in Tian Yuan's arms and chest.
The spectators were shocked when they saw Tian Yuan being hit by Xu Jianbao's slash. Indeed the slash from Xu Jianbao was lacking in depth, but Tian Yuan was getting a wound that was including severe due to the bleeding in his chest.
“You did it damn!” Tian Yuan stared coldly at Xu Jianbao before carrying out a brutal attack, not caring about his injuries. Now all he had in mind was how to kill Xu Jianbao.
Tian Yuan shortened the distance between himself and Xu Jianbao, it did not take long for Tian Yuan to make Xu Jianbao sprawl as it was unable to withstand his attacks from multiple directions.
The injuries on Xu Jianbao's body were arguably numerous, and when Tian Yuan was about to swing his sword at Xu Jianbao's neck, Tian Taohua immediately held his son's hand.
“Enough!” Tian Taohua stared intently at Tian Yuan who still looked so angry and unaccepted as he stopped his actions to kill Xu Jianbao.
“I want strength! Don't touch my hand!” Tian Yuan threw Tian Taohua's hand.
As a father, Tian Taohua had not expected the distance between himself and his son so far. Moreover, Tian Taohua only felt regret after seeing Tian Yuan too far fall in the dark mud puddle.
“Winner Tian Yuan from Peach Peak!” Tian Taohua raised his hand stopping the match and announced Tian Yuan as the winner.
It was seen Wu Taofan treating the severely injured Tian Yuan, and Xu Jianbao was certainly getting more severe injuries. Xu Jianbao cared for the Elders of the Sacred Sword Sect.
Jing Yang saw clearly if Tian Yuan and Xu Jianbao had feelings for Xue Bingyue. Yes, indeed after absorbing the efficacy of the Knowledge Jade, especially her separation with Ye Xiaoya, Jing Yang felt that he had really given some women hope and he only realized it after Ye Xiaoya left.
A short while later Tian Taohua summoned Xue Que and Xiao Fang to fight in the second match of the last eight round of the Young Swordsman Tournament.
“Xue Que from Blue Moon Palace and Xiao Fang from Peach Peak please come forward!”
