The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 26: Young Cultivator Tournament

The day that he had been waiting for had now arrived, which would now be the first day in his inaugural Young Cultivator Tournament. In a very wide fighting arena appeared a crowd of people present, both tournament participants, sect representatives, imperial parties, invited guests and even spectators who participated to witness the historic event.

In the fighting arena that is wide enough intentionally in pairs of protective formations so that the attacks of the fighting cultivator do not harm the audience. Chairs were neatly arranged, special seats for the imperial side and the invited guests of the emperor were at the very front and right in the middle, this showed that the emperor had an important position in this event.

The next is the seat for the elder or companion of each sect representative, the rest is filled by other cultivators who do not compete but only to support their fellow students, and the people who deliberately participated in watching the tournament. For tournament participants have been prepared a special room that is closely guarded.

In the corner of the arena there are several special seats for match referees. Each side of the fighting arena is also prepared by guards with tight guard to avoid the bad possibilities that will occur.

"Thank you so much to all the invited guests who have attended the Young Cultivator Tournament." a man who was quite old entered the arena and spoke loudly using qi in order to be heard by everyone present at the tournament.

The host delivered a greeting to all invited guests before reading the rules of the match.

"For the rules of this tournament are the same as in the previous tournament that is, for the general requirement that the participants of the tournament participate only at the age of 12 to 20 years. If anyone is caught manipulating their age, they will be considered dead."

" The next rule is, every tournament participant is prohibited from killing other participants and is not allowed to destroy the practice of other participants. And during the game, participants are allowed to use any style or science and the heirlooms used are also not limited as long as there is no cheating and still follow the rules set."

The host reads out the entire rules there is a sequence of events during the tournament.

After the participants finished taking the lottery to determine their sequence numbers, a bodyguard immediately led them to the special room of the participants, all the sect representatives and invited guests had also taken their seats. Likewise with the referee who was ready from the beginning.

A beautiful woman wearing a blood red robe walked into the middle of the arena, she was appointed as the referee at today's match. It was Mayleen.

"First participants please enter the arena." exclaimed Mayleen firmly and authoritatively.

A man entered the fighting arena while bowing his body. " Yin Xue from the Vermilion Fire Sect."

Not long after, a young girl also entered the arena in her tomboyish style. " Xinxin of the Jade Sect."

"Isn't the world too narrow Miss Xinxin?" Yin Xue who felt that she had seen Xinxin say hello first.

"Yes, as narrow as your brain. I hope this time you don't lose anything else." Xinxin quipped, she remembered very well who this young man before her was. He was the same person who had accused Yang Jian of stealing his pouch in an inn.

Yin Xue who was furious at Xinxin's words was about to reply but was restrained from hearing Mayleen's words.

"Listen to Miss Xinxin, I never held back even when I fought women."

"I hope so, I don't want to be called a male oppressor, so take all your abilities out." Xinxin took a swing while raising her spear as a weapon.

"Twin jade dance." Xinxin started to quickly attack Yin Xue, her movements were truly beautiful like someone who was dancing, she said, but for those who understand this style they must know that the Xinxin movement is not only soft but strong and sharp.

Not to be outdone, Yin Xue took out her flagship style." Vermilion exterminator demon." Yin Xue's body was immediately surrounded by the shadow of the vermilion fire bird.

Xinxin's spear collided with Yin Xue's vermilion fire miling produced powerful waves in the arena, but due to the protective formation already in place it did not impact beyond the arena.

"Eternal jade dance." her end Xinxin began to change her attack pattern, her attacks becoming stronger and sharper than before her.

"What, how is it possible." Yin Xue who was surprised to see Xinxin change into focus, finally attacked Xinxin hit Yin Xue's chest until she bounced while spewing fresh blood.

"Focus it during the match." not until there, Xinxin continued to blindly poach Yin Xue, even Xinxin did not give her a chance to catch her breath.

"Xinxin of the Jade Sect became the victor." Mayleen immediately announced the winner because she saw Yin Xue no longer fight. Seeing that Chang An and Han Li stared for a moment while smiling.

"Excellent Xinxin, you are truly great." praised Feng Yu as Xinxin returned to the special room of the participants.

"Thank you Feng Yu, this is just the beginning."

While Yang Jian was only silent, Xinxin did not feel offended at all so far he had already known Yang Jian's character.

" It's my turn." Feng Yu who was the second participant entered the arena of the match.

~~

" Feng Yu from the Jade Sect." exclaimed Feng Yu when he arrived in front of Mayleen.

" Yin Qian of the Vermilion Fire Sect." this time the one who was Feng Yu's opponent was a cultivator who came from the same sect as the opponent Xinxin before her.

"It's a coincidence." Feng Yu said with a smile.

"Please guide her." Yin Qian's character looks better than Yin Xue's.

The match began, Feng Yu and Yin Qian both used their best moves and heirlooms, but from the beginning there was already a difference between the two.

Feng Yu who had a regular direction and movement of attacks, while Yin Qian looked more inclined at speed alone. Perhaps it was because the cultivators of the vermilion fire sect were cultivators who were experts at gathering information that they relied so heavily on speed.

"Don't just rely on your speed alone, but the direction and power of your attacks are the most important." Feng Yu gave direction to Yin Qian, hearing that Yin Qian simply nodded her head slowly with a smile.

After a long time of exchanging moves finally Yin Qian raised her hand. " Yin Qian of the Vermilion Fire Sect admitted defeat."

then Mayleen announced the second winner of the Jade Sect. The spectators who saw Yin Qian's decision had no comment, they had also already ascertained this matter before her.

"I hope this isn't just the beginning." Han Li spoke softly beside Chang An seeing his two disciples who had competed obtain victory.

"There is still Yang Jian, our dark horse" Chang An replied with confidence.

"I'm really curious about the student who made you lose everything." Han Li looked at Chang An deeply, yet Chang An simply kept silent without replying to Han Li's words.
