You're going down punk...

The first few matches of the fairies from FCIP would be called underwhelming because their opponents simply surrendered. The result was expected because of the big difference in cultivation.

What really surprised the crowd is the fight of Yun Che. Someone at the level of the True Profound realm has beaten a cultivator of levels two and three of the spirit profound realm. The most shocking thing is, he is accepting the attacks of his opponents head-on but not gaining any sort of injuries or even a scratch. Someone protested that Yun Che is using a defensive artifact to negate the attack but was told by none other than Ling Kun that he is not wearing one.

This shut up the naysayers about Yun Che and left me with awe and astonishment.

After finishing the matches, the participants went back to their quarters. Xia Yuanba noticed the group of FCIP and shout out to her sister.

XYuanba: "Sister Qingyue!"

The people of FCIP stop walking then one of the women in white from the group turned. She then takes off her mask. The people around who notice the situation because Yuanba shouted were eager to see the face of one of the fairies from FCIP but was disappointed because half of her face downward is covered in a veil.

Xia Qingyue didn't ask why Yuanba is participating in the tournament because she always hears the news from their elders.

Qyue: "It's good to see you, little brother. I didn't expect that you would be at the earth profound realm and participate in the tournament.

XYuanba: "I know, I couldn't believe it at first but a senior brother of mine helped me before and even train me to fight. It's just sad that he disappeared a few months ago."

??: "We must go"

Qyue: "I'm sorry little brother. We will talk more after the tournament."

When she finished talking to Yuanba. Qingyue looks at Yun Che who is beside Yuanba. She then took out a piece of paper and showed it to Yun Che. She used her frozen arts to cover the whole paper and shattered it into dust.

The paper that she destroyed is their wedding contract. Yun Che did not expect that she will destroy the contract in such a manner. But it seems that Xia Qingyue had already made up her mind a long time ago and now was the only chance she got to sever their ties right in front of him.

The people who were watching were confused that one of the fairies from FCIP took out a paper and destroyed it in front of Yun Che.

YChe: "So that is your decision?"

Qyue: "Yes, the debt of my family to yours was already paid when the elders helped your grandfather and little aunt gain their current strength. Your little aunt is now with your grandfather back at the Floating Cloud City. You can see them after the tournament."

Xia Qingyue put back her mask and continue following the rest of her group back to the profound ark.

XYuanba; "Are you ok brother-in-law?"

YChe: "Surprisingly calm... In the first place, your sister and I didn't really get to bond back then. Even if we shared a room for a month, nothing happened between us because she is always cultivating or sleeping. She didn't even reply to the conversation that I was starting. Though I could not blame her. On our first night, instead of staying in the room, I went out to see my little aunt and she found out about it when she went looking for me."

Yun Che then realized that he said too much and look at Yuanba but he didn't see any anger on his face. Just disappointment.

XYuanba: "So that is why my sister was colder than you. Not only did you leave her on your first night as husband and wife, you even went to see other women. I am not angry at you, I wouldn't even give my opinion about your flirting with the princess while still married to my sister. No, I am just disappointed."

Xia Yuanba walks away leaving Yun Che standing by himself.

The next day, similar fights happened as the same in the novel. Yun Che was forced to use his sword because his opponent this time have the cultivation of a level six spirit profound realm. His victories continue, gaining ten consecutive wins. Yuanba, the fairies of FCIP, and the representative of the other three major sects were also gaining unshakable wins.

The night meeting of Yun Che and Qingyue did not happen because of what she did yesterday. Yuanba becomes distant from him but still gives respect. Though he saw the difference between the fairies and their usual rumors. They were talking to each other even though they have masks and giving comments on the fights that they saw. They were not acting like the cold people that he heard long ago but more free-spirited individuals. He was expecting that they would be quiet most of the time but when it's their turn. He only saw indifference based on their body language.

Skip to the day of the fight of the last thirty-two participants...

The group of FCIP was talking while waiting for the fight to start.

CY: "Maybe we should let the other disciple of our sect fought in the tournament."

CYue: "But the elders already decided who will participate. Besides, the lowest cultivation of the latest addition to the sect is in the level ten spirit profound realm that could fight the earth profound level seven opponents."

CY: "I still could not believe that we gain the opportunity to increase our strength. Thinking about it now. We really got lucky."

CYue: "Anyway, the first fight is about to start and Yun Che will be the first."

CY: "I'm still confused, why though? Even after the changes in the sect. With your character, you would have picked the elder but you pick another." *looking at Yun Che in the arena*

CYue: "I have my reasons and the elder knows why."

Chu Yueli is looking at her sister but didn't continue the conversation. The other three beside them already knew what they were talking about and this is the reason for the decision of Qingyue to destroy the marriage contract.

Yun Che's fight with Xiao Nan ended in his victory because his opponent wasn't able to inflict too much damage on him. Xiao Nan admits his defeat after a few more bouts.

The next day, Yun Che did a quick battle against Mu Xiongyan. Yun Che's next match is against Fen Juebi from Burning Heaven Clan the following day. Yuanba was sadly been eliminated when he met Wu Xuexin from FCIP. Qin Wuyou and Cang Yue did not blame him and the palace chief was still happy that they manage to get to the top eight in the tournament because of Yun Che and will have a chance to enter the "Heavenly Basin Secret Realm".

The fight of Yun Che and Fen Juebi progresses just the same. When Fen Juebi lost, he sneaked attack Yun Che but was retaliated and was sent flying. Fen Moli rushed to the side of Fen Juebi and saw the bad situation of his body.

Fen Moli: "Junior! The duel has already concluded, and you still intentionally heavily injure the son of our Burning Heaven Clan Master!!"

YChe: "Are you blind? He was the one who tried to sneak an attack on me first. Rather than retaliating, do I have to simply stand here and wait for him to attack me?"

Fen Moli: "Junior, you're courting death!"

Fen Moli attacks Yun Che with his strength at the half-step emperor profound. Before his hand reached Yun Che, another hand grabbed his own and dispel his profound energy. When Fen Moli and Yun Che look at the person that stopped the attack. They were surprised that the man in blue came to them without their notice. Even Ling Kun who is watching the whole scene did not see or feel the movement of the man in blue while he is spreading his senses into the arena.

MBlue: *while still holding the hand of Fen Moli* "Yun Che is justified in his action of self-defense. Fen Juebi already lost but still attacked anyway. His status is the result of his actions. And for you..."

The man in blue chops the hand of Fen Moli without using a sword.

Fen Moli: "AAHHH!"

MBlue: "...losing a hand is enough. *facing the crowd* If any of you interfere again with the battles of the juniors. Losing a hand will be the least of your worries."

The man in blue took a step then he instantly returned to the place of the FCIP's group. His actions astonished the rest of the people because Fen Moli is still a half-step emperor profound realm cultivator and he beat him like a child.

Ling Kun wanted to interfere but something is holding him back. In all of his years gaining his current position as an elder. He always trusts his gut. Now, it was telling him that if he moves from his spot, he might die. With this thinking, some sweats were running down in his face and body. When the man in blue finished with his lecture. The feeling of death disappears.

With the event of the first round out of the way, the next three fights were dominated by the three fairies from FCIP. In the original, Ling Feiyu was supposed to fight Ling Jie but because of Yuanba, he was eliminated earlier. Then Yuanba was eliminated by Wu Xuexin. So she is the one who fought Ling Jie. Xiao Kuanglei, Ling Jie, and Ling Yun did last for thirty seconds and weren't able to use their skills before being defeated by the three ladies.

At the final round of the tournament, Yun Che faced Wu Xuexin from the FCIP. The fight only lasted a minute before Wu Xuexin defeated him using a single attack. Yun Che was not able to fight because his body was encased in ice that even phoenix fire was not able to meet. He asks Jasmine about it.

Jas: "The answer to your question is simple. The frozen art that she used to you is at a higher level than your phoenix fire's current level. Not only that, her profound energy is more controlled, pure, and stronger. Because they are not just earth profound cultivators. Two of them were already at sky profound realm and that Xia Qingyue is already at the first level of emperor profound realm."

YChe: "But when they were assessed, they only have earth profound realm levels"

Jas: "That man in blue hides their cultivation without using any artifacts."

YChe: "Hide their cultivation?"

Yun Che then remembers that Raizen was able to change their cultivation to an elementary profound realm when they attacked the mercenary group in the ten thousand beast mountain range.

YChe: "Don't you think that man in blue and Raizen were one?"

Jas: "Based on previous information, the chances were high"

YChe: "So all this time, his cultivation base is at emperor profound realm."

Jas: "I do not think that is that simple. Even if the others did not see his movement when he saved you. I was still able to tell his movement. I can only guess that he is at the "Monarch" stage but not sure which level."

YChe: "I could not believe that I was close to that kind of person. That would make perfect sense when he told us about the fine control that he has. I already used on him the phoenix fire but he did not even get a scratch."

Jas: "sure..."

After the fight of Yun Che, it was decided to not hold the remaining fight because the three fairies came from the same sect. When the reward is being awarded, the man in blue received it. The Sky Profound Artifact and Dragonscale Armor would add to the collection of FCIP's multiple items back in the sect.

The people waited for a few days before the secret realm opens. Inside the profound ark, Saeko was busy having a spar with five women. Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli, who were consolidating their strength at peak emperor profound realm, were the only ones giving a hard time to Saeko while the other three backs them up.

While they were doing that, Raizen was looking at Ling Kun. It seems that he did not notice the attributes of Xia Qingyue but only saw that their cultivation levels were fake.

The night before the opening of the "Heavenly Basin Secret Realm". Chu Yuechan was given a chance to meet up with Yun Che while Ling Yuefeng was stuck with her wife because he failed again to meet her.

Xuanyuan Yufeng talked to Ling Kun about destroying the FCIP but Ling Kun was afraid that it will be hard because they did not know the strength of the two elders that come with them or if there were other factors protecting that sect. The FCIP remained for a thousand years and it was a mystery why it is still standing. Ling Kun suggested doing it within three years after they ask the ninth elder of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and he will personally volunteer to attack the sect.

Ling Yun saw the veiled face of Qingyue when she was talking to her brother and Yun Che. It was love at first sight for him. It distracted him in the battle and also the reason why he lost faster than anticipated.

In the morning, Ling Yuefeng was addressing the people that will participate in the opening of the "Heavenly Basin Secret Realm" and they can only last there for two days. After that, they will be forcefully be ejected and the only people that will not come back were dead people.

Before they could enter, Ling Kun interrupted them and wanted to ask the people from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.

Ling Kun: "Fairies from the FCIP, it's now clear to me that you were hiding your true strength in the tournament. Although I am not condemning you about it but at least let the others know why they lose and how the FCIP become number one in this year's tournament."

The three girls looked at the man in blue where they got a reply of a nod. Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, and Xia Qingyue revealed their real cultivation base. The shock would be an understatement for the reaction of the other people who saw the real strength of the fairies. Two of them were already at peak sky profound realm while Qingyue is at the emperor profound realm.

A 17-year-old emperor profound realm.

Ling Kun: "If that is their cultivation *looking at the remaining four* ... can you show us yours?"

Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan release their peak emperor profound realm cultivation while the man in blue and female in purple show the strength of a level one tyrant profound realm cultivator.

Those who were having bad thoughts before can only sigh in defeat after witnessing the strength of the people from FCIP especially now that they have an "Overlord" in their sect. If the strength is already at that, what about the sect master?

The people know that for the next few tens of years, the FCIP will always dominate the ranking tournament.

Ling Kun: "Really deserving to be the first. The Blue Wind Empire might get a good position in the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament when the time comes. Let us now continue in entering the secret realm" *smiling because he already estimated the strength of FCIP for the next three years*
