Copetition

Going out of the training grounds, Ethan looked at the newly constructed pagoda next to the training grounds.

Entering the pagoda, Ethan saw a reception desk and multiple book-shelves behind it.

"I'm guessing it's the same design for the other floors" Ethan asked Zhao feng of which he nodded.

"Here, let's place these accordingly" Ethan said as a large pile of Martial-Arts Technique appeared on the ground.

"Did you get these from the treasuery" Zhao feng asked.

"Yeah, why"

"You do also know that these aren't the main technuques we practiced in the sect"

"really"

"Yeah, these were mostly picked up or taken from fallen sects and were deemed unworthy" Zhao Feng explained.

"why so many though"

"Because people believed that the more techniques you learn the stronger you are, which isn't entirely correct, so with the ongoing war the sect master decided on this syte"

The pagoda had four floors and they evenly distribued the the Martial-art.

The first flour had: Red, orange and yellow grade technique

2nd floor had: Green, indigo and blue grade techniques.

3rd floor: only purple grade techniques as he didnt want to place the gold ones.

4th flloor was empty.

After they finished, they went to another pagoda to do the same with the weapons.

"It's time for the tournament" after a while Zhao Han found them.

....

"We thought it would be good for the families to gather like so" Seeing the dumbfounded Ethan, Zhao Han explained.

"Hhmm it's sad that the people on the lower level can't enjoy the show" Ethan said as he looked at the extra audience they had.

"I have a plane for that" Ethan heard a voice coming from behind him.

Turning around he saw Bruno with his friends coming from behind him.

"What if we broadcasted the contest to the lower side" Bruno said

"Besides the cameras and screens we would need, we also need cables" a brown-skined friend of Bruno with an afro said.

"Where can we get those things, Mike" Ethan asked

"There is a wherehouse store in the city that has everything we might need, although there's a slim chance that they could be raided, I suggest we get those things ASAP" Mike said.

While Ethan and Mike hammered out the details , the others arrived.

"Let's begin, how is everyone" standing on the slightly elevated stage, Zhao Feng explained the rules and how the matches were organized he didnt mention the rewards but told them to do their best.

The famlies and friends of the participaters cheered and discussed the possible winners.

The other cultivators didn't participate and only the first batch were gonna participate, but they would get their chance if the first batch caught up to them, cultivation wise.

The fist batch only had about twenty participate including the ten that went on the occasional exploration.

-

"From now on, those on the top ten will be the one's we take outside " Zhao Feng said, shocking those who already considered themselves explorers.

"Now let's begin" Zhao Feng as he walked down to a desk in front of the stage were Yue was sitting with a pen and paper.

- There first match was announced.

Zen, 5th stage of body-refining VS Jermey, 3rd stage of body-refining

Standing face to face, the boy and girl stood at the same hight but Jeremy had a slightly muscular built.

"I'm sorry Zen but could you quit, as I'd hate to hit a girl" a muscular voice sounded.

"I'm sorry, I cant do that" replaid the woman as she took her stance.

"Fight" Zhao Feng shouted

"Than please, don't hate me after this" before Jermey could finish, Zen was already running towards him at a speed he could barely comprehand.

×Bam*

Zen's fist landed on Jermeys blocked arms, Jeremy was pushed back and thrown off balence.

Zen had just touched the floor but she jumped again without stopping and threw another fist at the shocked Jeremy.

Jermey tilted his head to the side but the punche still connected throwing him of balance, another fists came after that.

Jermey's feet were constanly moving back as he dodged and blocked some hits while others connected.

The crowd went wild and some of the younger girls were inspired.

"Looks like Zen is more decisive" Zhao Han said sitting next to Ethan.

"What do you mean" Ethan asked

"When she was fighting the other zombies, she had trouble being decisieved, I saved her a few times and she asked me for advice, it would seem she learned from her mistakes." zhao han said

"Looks like she alread won" Bruno suggested.

[What do you think, Ethan] the system asked seeing that Ethan was paying extra attention to the fight.

"Why is he barely fighting back, his body isn't pushed back ", while Ethans eyes had a faint yellow color, for some reason his way of thinking changed as he asked himself questions.

"Zen might lose" Ethan suddenly said shocking everyone there.

Just as Jermey was nearing the edge of the stage, he got tripped by a leg-swipe

*Bam*

Zen kicked the man while he was down, but she was shocked when he held her leg.

Zen struggled and struggleed to free her leg but to no avail. Jermey would get slightly pulled forward but he would stabelize the big girl.

"Let go" angry, Zen jumped on her one leg and threw a side-kick attempting to get a headshot.

"Finally" Jermey muttured as he reached out one of the previously occupied hands.

Grabbing at both her legs with both of his arms, Jermey spun the struggling woman.

"Bye" Jeremy muttured as he threw her outside the stage.

Outside the boundaries and in the air, Zen was shocked and confused.

*bam*

She landed on her feet outside the stage, she lost.

While every first batch was shocked everyone else cheered like crazy, the other cultivators didn't seem to care as they had seen better fights.

"The winner is Jeremy" Zhao Feng announced.

Zen tightened her fists and walked towards her friends.
