31 The most unique and strangest fight...

"My brother would never do that..."

Xu Luli repeated it again.

Xu Luli was sure about it.

His brother would never harm the innocent and those close to her.

She believed in him.

{Maybe the one who sold the pill was the one who gave him the fake and poisonous pill.}

{Yes! That must be it.}

She found it perfect so her worries loosened a bit.

"I know who did it!"

She spoke to Huan and the healer.

"Who?"

They asked.

"It is the person who sold or gave the pill to my brother."

"Mmmm... That's also a good reason. But it is just a hypothesis after all..."

The healer spoke in a guessing manner.

"Hmph... Yours was a hypothesis too." Xu Luli argued with the healer.

"Ok, ok, let's stop. You win girl. Your brother isn't the culprit."

The healer said and sighed. What a stubborn girl, she thought.

"Let's focus on another problem."

The healer said in a severe tone and looked at Huan.

"Do you have the Spirit Cleaning Pill?" She asked.

"No."

"Can you find it before his match?" She asked again.

"...No"

"In that case boy, you cannot fight any longer."

"Why?" Both Xu Luli and Huan asked.

"Even if you fight you can't control your spirit power and you will end up in a worse state than this."

"What? Even worse than this." The duo was startled.

"And... It is highly possible that you may not be able to cultivate again if you don't take the Spirit Cleaning Pill as soon as possible..."

"Whaaat?"

"I won't be able to cultivate?"

Huan asked loudly.

"Yeah..." The healer said in a sad voice.

"So try to find the pill fast, ok." She spoke.

"I don't have that much money to buy it..."

"And I don't know where to find it too..."

"But I can't lose this chance to enter the sect..." Huan was spoking with a voice that was full of worry and anxiety.

"I advise you not to fight and forfeit. Your life is much more important than this competition."

The healer advised Huan.

{What a pitiful child... He is losing the chance to fight and may lose the chance to cultivate if he can't find the pill.}

{Alas, the cultivation world is unfair...}

The healer thought while looking at Huan.

"I would like to help you but I can only create 2nd-grade pills... Sorry..." She said.

Huan looked up and said:

"Thanks for your worry Miss Healer but I don't want to lose this chance."

Huan said and continued: "Let's go sister."

Xu Luli was startled for a moment and looked at the healer and bowed to her.

"Thanks so much, Miss Healer."

"Don't thank me. Be careful with your brother."

She bid farewell.

So Huan and Xu Luli left.

While they left another girl and boy came in.

The boy was unconscious and the girl was carrying him with great difficulty.

It was a strange sight to see.

"Welcome. What can I help with." The healer asked.

"Hello, Miss Healer. I'm sorry but can you help him? He was injured in a fight while protecting me." The girl asked.

"Ok, but can you show me your participant token."

"Ah! Here" She gave her own token.

She even didn't ask why the token was needed.

It was because the healer only was allowed to treat the participants. She didn't ask for Huan and Xu Luli's tokens because she was near the arena while they were fighting.

"The boy's token?"

The healer asked.

"Ah, right. His token..."

The girl was stunned and looked at the boy's pocket and found a token.

She looked at the token and read it for a moment and gave it to the healer.

The healer took the token and read it aloud.

"You are Shen Liqin, right?"

"Yes." The girl nodded her head.

"And his name is Yichen..." Healer spoke while looking at the boy.

(A/N: Yes, you didn't guess wrong, he is the Yichen who killed Rong Yuan.)

**********

Huan's next fight's time came.

"Huan, you shouldn't fight. Let's look for the Spirit Cleaning Pill."

Xu Luli tried to persuade Huan many times.

But Huan always shook his head.

"Even if I lose at least I will fight", he said every time.

Finally, the time to fight comes.

"Next fight. Number 798 vs Number 921."

The referee announced the next match.

Huan and his opponent Tian Qui came to the stage.

{I need to win this. I need to fulfill my oath.}

Huan thought and decided to end the battle fast.

{If I can't control my spirit power...}

"The match starts!"

The referee started the match thus Huan's thoughts came to halt.

{I can only use my physical power.}

He started to walk against his opponent. Then he started to run at full speed after a few steps of walk.

His opponent was confused then his body stiffened.

Tian Qui saw Huan's second match which caused him to feel fear. He knew his opponent's speed was fast.

Looking at the unusual start of the match by Huan, he thought maybe Huan changed his tactics. And he remembered the match.

{Huan appeared behind his opponent the moment when he came in front of him. So he's going to do that again.}

{Hmph. I will surprise you with my surprise attack.} Tian Qui thought.

But unfortunately, he overthought the situation too much.

Really, really, too much.

So when Huan came in front of him at a fast speed, he waited.

The moment Huan came in front of him, he instantly turned his back and slashed with his sword.

Again, he overthought it too much.

Because Huan couldn't control his spirit power so he was unable to what Tian Qui thought. (Appearing behind his opponent)

So he was stunned when Tian Qui turned his back and slashed.

But he instantly controlled himself and used this 'gift' to its fullest he punched Tian Qui's back with all his power.

~Swish

His punch caused Tian Qui to fly onward and fall to the ground with his face.

~Push

~Thud

Fortunately for Huan, and unfortunately for Tian Qui, Tian Qui flew off the stage.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Huan was shocked to see this development.

He expected his opponent to stagger a few steps but he never expected this outcome.

Actually, Tian Qui would have been like Huan expected but he used a lot of his spirit power in his slash and forgot to defend himself.

He was sure he would win.

But overthinking cause him not to be able to obtain the victory and even to lose terribly.

"The match e--ends!"

"The winn-ner is Huan!"

The referee announced the winner while stuttering. He was also shocked too and found it unbelievable.

Everyone else was shocked after seeing this too.

Because this was the most unique and strangest fight so far.
