The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 17. Competition Preparation
It had been six months that Ma Guang was in the Yellow Bamboo sect and had already practiced martial arts from people referenced by the Sect Chief who was also the one who trained him.
Ma Guang has mastered every basic and intermediate technique taught by them and has mastered the change in the form of his inner energy and it can be achieved when he was just 16 years old.
Achievement as an expert swordsman at a very young age, if out and known by the big sects of the white school, if, for sure they would feel extremely jealous of the Yellow Bamboo sect which was a middle sect, yet had a super genius disciple like Ma Guang.
But it would be inversely proportional if it was known by the great sects of the black stream, they would definitely do everything they could and with all their strength to eliminate the genius .
The Peach Flower Sect
Happiness was reflected in every look on the faces of the elders in a meeting hall of the elders of the sect.
They were discussing about a genius disciple of theirs who had currently just reached an expert swordsman at the age of just 16.
The disciple was none other than Xia Jiao.
The beautiful girl was currently already the main disciple of the Peach Flower sect since six months ago.
But he was already able to steal the attention of all the leaders in the sect.
His extremely abnormal achievement frightened all the higher-ups in the sect, so they gathered all the disciples who knew and knew the talent of Xia Jiao to warn her so that they would not tell it to the other disciples.
Indeed, not many knew or saw Xia Jiao during her time in the sect.
Because he entered the sect and became a disciple in the sect, it did not go through the same process as disciples in general.
He was raised directly by the great elder in the sect to be his first disciple, because the elder had never received a disciple for him.
However after seeing Xia Jiao who had come along with some other senior disciples.
He felt interested in making Xia Jiao his disciple, and the result exceeded what he expected, and it could be a disaster for their sect if the big black sect knew about it.
From then on, Xia Jiao simply stayed inside the residence of the Great Elder of the Peach Flower sect and continued to train diligently every day.
It was because of what he had experienced twice in his life.
Twice losing the most important person in his life is the initial capital as an encouragement to practice martial arts in order to be stronger and able to avenge to everyone - people who do things that's to him.
The Great Elder knew that very well, because Xia Jiao had already told him in detail what she had experienced.
Xia Jiao's nature became colder and quieter, she rarely communicated with anyone other than her teacher and the few senior disciples who brought her all the way to the sect.
" We must keep this a good secret, lest any of you tell this to others, for it will be a disaster for our sect."
Said a middle-aged woman sitting on the highest seat.
The woman was named Ye Yaxi who was the Matriak of the sect.
" Good Chairman."
Answer them simultaneously.
" A month ahead, we will conduct a competition to find three more people to accompany Xia Jiao who will enter the biggest competition in the Imperial capital. Who would choose a young genius in this Zhou imperial territory."
Said the Sect Chief who was immediately greeted with applause from those present at the place.
" Therefore, this must be immediately conveyed to all existing core disciples, and if they feel they have the ability to compete with other students, then, they'll have time to prepare themselves."
Continue the sect leader again.
" And this will also be able to change and affect every rank in the core disciple."
Close the sect leader.
All the elders and a portion of the disciples who heard that immediately clapped their hands in response to what their Matriak said.
Eventually they all broke up and went back to their own places.
In the residence of the great elder, two women were seen talking to each other.
" Jiao...!!! When you fight, never give up all your abilities if they are not needed, because it will attract the attention of many."
The grand elder spoke to the girl in front of him who was immediately answered by the girl.
" Good teacher."
" Jiao...!!! Life is sometimes very cruel for us, but it can make us stronger in the face of every challenge that will come, therefore, it can make us stronger, you must be able to control every emotion or grudge that is in Your heart, thoughts and feelings, so that you can defeat Your opponents in the future."
The great elder continued advising his disciple.
The Yellow Bamboo Sect
Inside the meeting hall, several elders were discussing about the competition to be held in the imperial capital.
Their sect had a quota of two people to bring to the imperial capital to take part in the competition that would select a young genius in the Zhou imperial region.
In the sect his disciples, who were 15 to 20 years old besides Ma Guang, their highest achievements were only at the 6th level of the early stage warriors.
To be able to reach the 7th level of the initial swordsman stage only, many of them can reach it when they are over 25 years old.
That's why they would find it difficult to compete with the young warriors of the great sects.
Hence, they would conduct a competition in their sect to obtain a disciple who would accompany Ma Guang to enter the competition of talented young geniuses throughout the entire Zhou imperial region.
Ma Guang himself is still training to further improve the effectiveness of each attack as well as the speed and accuracy of momentum when he changes shape when attacking.
It was done by Ma Guang in order to outwit his enemies.
Ma Guang has been able to adjust the shape change from a shaped like a fist, such as a spear eye or shaped like an arrow or like a claw in accordance with the technique he trained.
Ma Guang also often performed match practice with each of his teachers and it was unknown to the other disciples and elders.
Elder Fei Yu, Elder Zhu Li, Elder Xiang Zhang, Ancestor Guang Zhi as well as sect Patriarch Yao Han had experienced firsthand the development as well as the understanding of martial arts from Ma Guang.
So they could tell that for the abilities that Ma Guang currently possessed was already included in the ranks of low-level elders.
Although it was indeed by the rules applicable in the sect, that every disciple who had reached the expert swordsman, was automatically already a low-level elder.
However since Ma Guang was the main disciple of the sect, they still considered him as a disciple and had yet to raise him to become a low-level elder, what else was his age of just 16.
It was also done so as not to attract too much attention from the existing disciples, so that it could create an uproar throughout the sect and most likely be known by outsiders.
Ma Guang had indeed practiced high-level martial arts from Guang Zhi's ancestor, but he had only been able to use three moves, it was because of every technique that would be used, he said, it was very draining of energy from him.
It can only be done once.
If more than that, it could result in paralysis on him.
So that Ma Guang would not always rely on such high-level techniques, unless he was already in an urgent situation.
