323: Empower

Empower

Du Yuhan walked onto the stage. His opponent was a disciple from the Cloud Valley sect with a cultivation base of the 3rd Mind tempering realm.  2

The moment they got onto the stage, the disciple from the Cloud Valley sect brought out a Tiger beast. Just like everyone from that sect, he was a beast tamer as well. 

He also took out a half a meter-long spider as well. 

"Begin"

Du Yuhan stayed where he was with his sheathed sword, while his opponent was also a little nervous given that he knew about the Sword intent from the last match. 

For a few seconds, Du Yuhan did nothing, and neither did his opponent. However, seeing that they couldn't keep it up any longer, the beast tamer decided to move. 

"Go," he immediately sent out the tiger. The tiger ran with incredible speed and arrived right in front of Du Yuhan. Instead of using his sword, Du Yuhan simply dodged while keeping an eye on his opponent. 

The tiger turned around to attack Du Yuhan, however, he had already gotten his chance. 

Du Yuhan suddenly dashed forward towards his opponent. When the opponent saw that, he immediately had the spider make spider webs to block Yuhan, but that didn't work. 

Just before he reached the webs, he stopped himself and transferred all of his mommentum into one single attack. 

SLASH

Death flashed from beyond the webs. The beast tamer was scared for his life when he saw a white slash cut through the nets and fly directly towards him. 

Suddenly, a barrier appeared in front of him, and the referee was right by his side. The Referee looked at Du Yuhan and said, "You Win." 

Du Yuhan bowed a little towards the referee and left. 

The audience was a little surprised. Up until now,  he had won in a single strike every single match. Even the audience was now catching onto the fact that he had Sword intent in his attacks. 

"See? That's how you deal with the beast tamers. Go for the cultivator himself. They are usually the weakest link," Wen Cheng said. Alex now nodded in approval after seeing what he did. 

The next match was between a girl from the Golden Eagle sect and a man from the Thousand Hands sect. The Thousand hand sect disciple had 3 puppets all at the 3rd Mind Tempering realm fighting for him, so he had an easy time winning against the Golden Eagle sect disciple who couldn't use many attacks. 

The next match was between a disciple from the Honor sect disciple, who was fighting against the disciple of a sect called the Purple Flag sect. 

Despite having the same cultivation base of the 3rd Mind Tempering realm, the disciple from the Honor sect had a much better understanding of fighting and abilities, so after an intense fight, he won without much injury. 

The final match of Group B was between a disciple from the Lesser Immortal sect against a sword user from Royal Fu Academy. 

The sword user was a realm higher in cultivation base. So when the two of them fought, the disciple from the Royal Fu academy had a much easier time winning.

Next up was group C. 

Yang Ma walked onto the stage with his opponent from the True Wisdom sect who had a cultivation base of the 2nd Mind Tempering realm, the same as Yang Ma's.

"Begin"

Yang Ma immediately created a fireball and sent it towards his opponent. His opponent created a fireball too and sent it flying at the incoming fireball. 

The class of the two fireballs created a little bit of an explosion. 

Yang Ma was surprised. 

Not only Yang Ma, Alex, and Luo Mei were surprised on the seating area as well. 

"He… he had a wood root last time right?" Alex asked just to make sure. 

"Yes, he did," Luo Mei replied. 

"Then how is his fireball stronger than brother Ma's? If I remember correctly, Brother Ma's spiritual root is the Superior Fire Spiritual roots, right?" Alex asked. 

"Ohoho, It seems you will learn something interesting now," Wen Cheng said. "Yes, you are correct. He does seem to have two spiritual roots. In fact, they are the same as mine. However, his attacks are still as strong as that of a single elemental root user." 

Wen Cheng looked towards Alex and asked, "Can you tell me why?" 

Alex fell into thought, "Let's see, there are 4 aspects to an Elemental attack. The Element, the Elemental strength, Qi Density and Qi Amount."

"The element is fire, so same. Yang Ma wins in the Elemental strength. Qi destiny… the opponent doesn't seem to have a very dense Qi. As for Qi amount… there wasn't enough time for him."

"So, that means… something else is going on. The elements… fire and wood. Fire….. And " Alex's eyes slowly widened up. 

"Empowering. That guy is using Wood Qi to empower his fire elemental attack," Alex said as if he discovered something amazing. 

"Haha, yes. Took you longer than I imagined. Maybe I was keeping unreal expectations. Anyway, the man is using Wood Qi directly into the fire elemental attacks he is using to empower his attacks. So, despite having an inferior spiritual root, he is standing his ground," Wen Cheng complimented. 

The fight on the group kept ongoing. Both of them sent attacks after attacks at each other. Yang Ma was having a not-so-fun time anymore. 

Suddenly, he threw a massive attack and took out a spear to fight. The other guy tried to dodge a bunch, but Yang Ma seemed to be trained in Spear art as well. 

He suddenly started swinging it around while also sending out normal elemental attacks. The opponent was getting attacked by both weapons and strong elemental attacks. 

He got easily overwhelmed. In the end, One of Yang Ma's attacks wasn't seen by the opponent and a referee had to stop the fight and declare Yang Ma the winner. 

Yang Ma returned back to the waiting area tiredly, and from inside walked out a determined Wan Li.
