"Why don't you come on the stage?"
Zheng Xiang rolled his eyes at his word, "Dude, do you really think I will need anyone else's help to beat your weak ass?"
"Even your eighteen generations of ancestors won't be enough to even touch my hair," Xiao Ming scoffed at him
"Man, with those corny lines, someday you'll go far… and I hope you stay there." Zheng Xiang replied with an annoyed expression. "I truly hope."
"Hmph!"
Meanwhile, on the stage, the battles were finally coming to an end.
However, the interesting thing was that the circle with the new Inner Court disciples didn't have any suspense, and the result was easily declared with the disciple from the Eighth Peak, Duan Han, winning the fight by kicking his opponent out of the circle with ease.
While the other circle, the one with the older and new Inner Court disciples, had a neck-to-neck battle.
The older disciple carried a sword as his weapon, while the new Inner Court disciple, Feng Qiao, wielded a spear.
Though the Sword is called the king of weapons because of its double-edges, it is on its wielder to get most of its potential. And here, Qian Shi, who used a sword, was clearly having a hard time against the spear wielder.
[A/n: Usually Spear is termed as King Of Weapons, however, in this context we're following Chinese martial arts system, and in it, a double-edged sword is the King Of Weapons.
However, in many cases, three weapons are given the term King Of Weapons: Spear, Sword, and Sabre.
Let's not delve much into this topic. You won't see me disturbing you in-between the chapter again.]
On the stage, finally, after more than a hundred exchanges of moves, both of them stepped back, panting and trying to catch some breath.
The Older disciple suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I am surprised with your spear skills. It seems I should also get serious about this."
With that said, he put his sword back in his spatial ring and then took out a long spear.
Feng Qiao was shocked, "You aren't a sword cultivator!?"
"Haha, of course not. I was just playing around." As soon as he finished, Qian Shi jumped up, and moved his spear, targeting Feng Qiao's chest.
"You really think changing your weapon will work? Hmph!" Feng Qiao snarled as he also jumped in the air.
Both the met head-on.
Spears struck. Sending shockwaves throughout the platform.
The power of both sides was intense, however, the one with higher cultivation prevailed and Feng Qiao was thrown out of the stage.
As the older disciple, Qian Shi landed on the platform with his one fist and the opposite knee hitting the ground.
[A/n: Imagine Iron Man.
Alright this will be the last time I will come in between you and your chapter.]
Seeing him win, the older disciples cheered out loud.
As he stood up, Qian Shi put the spear on his shoulder and said, "You still need to train with that spear for ten more years to even think about going against me."
Feng Qiao gritted his teeth and walked off the stage.
Meanwhile, on the other circle, another new disciple had challenged the winner and this time, it looked like a spar of equal footing. But as the fight progressed, Duan Han, who had won the previous fight, finally forfeited due to exhaustion. His opponent, also breathing heavily, didn't go and mock him, because he knew how tired he himself was.
As for Qian Shi, the older Inner Court disciple, this time someone from his side challenged him, and easily defeated him.
Surprisingly the one who defeated him was actually using a sword. And Qian Shi was using a spear to defend.
From this alone, one can understand that the outcome didn't necessarily depend on the weapon, but rather the skills and cultivation of both sides.
Soon as the time passed by, the disciples kept coming on the stage, challenging whoever stood on the stage.
The longest time one could stand undefeated on the stage was about eight minutes, before getting kicked out of the circle.
Even among the older Inner Court disciples, the most time spent inside the circle was only twelve minutes.
The challenges were coming non-stop, and the time was tallied after every spar.
On the ground, Mu Xing suddenly stood up.
As soon as he stood up, other disciples knew that finally the real top disciples were about to go on the stage, and they were excited to see the fights between the top disciples of all the peaks.
As soon as the circle with the new Inner COurt disciples had an outcome, Mu Xing jumped on the stage.
Looking at his tired opponent, Mu Xing said, "Well, you should forfeit. You're too tired."
The disciple didn't reply and took his fighting stance while taking out a new sword from his spatial ring.
"Hmph!" Mu Xing didn't waste any more time and attacked straight for his neck.
Their sword stuck, however, the aura around Mu Xing was so overpowering that his opponent's sword broke!
*Clack!*
Before his opponent could recover, Mu Xing already had his sword on his opponent's neck, "Surrender now, and I will allow you to keep your life."
The opponent threw the broken sword from his hand, indicating his forfeit.
"You're quite talented. I am Jin Su." The opponent said while panting.
Mu Xing gave him a smile, "You too. I had to use a lot of force in that move. I am Mu Xing."
His opponent nodded his head with a smile and went back to the sitting area feeling quite surprised. 'I wasn't expecting a normal reply. This guy isn't as arrogant as he looks.'
Meanwhile, Mu Xing turned around and faced Bai Qing'er
"Fellow disciple Bai Qing'er, come on the stage, I challenge you for a duel!"
