The Legend of Zhu San
035: Quarter Final
The eyes of the audience who were mostly youths, looked towards Zhu San with a jealous look. Zhu San just ignored it.
If he had not known Qin Yu, he might be on his way to the Star Sword Sect. The sect founded by its First Master, Fu Kuan.
But because the figure of the Sect Leader he wanted to meet was in Shangyu City, he decided to see first this martial tournament.
Zhu San's daydream came to a halt as Gong's sign of the start of the fight had sounded.
On top of the tournament arena, Bao Han immediately threw two Discs towards Qin Yu who immediately brushed him off with the Ice Sword Sweep.
Bao Han was a little surprised by the power of his opponent's beautiful girl's slash, but as a man, he didn't want to lose so easily to him.
He released another jagged disc that immediately roared rapidly towards Qin Yu's arm.
What happened then was completely beyond Bao Han's expectations. His three discs were now hard to control, having been encased in an ice lump from the sword energy attack on the girl's hand .
“Yu’er ..You really are a smart girl, freeze your opponent's discs, make her have to face your moves with great difficulty later.” Zhu San muttered in his mind.
Seeing that the three opposing discs had lost control, Qin Yu immediately darted quickly towards the panicked-looking Bao Han.
He leapt away from Qin Yu's sword slash and immediately darted away from him. A short-range fight would be difficult to do with that type of weapon.
However Qin Yu who knew of the weakness kept on approaching Bao Han. And the occasional deflecting attack of a moving disc is getting slower due to the thickening of the ice clumps on both sides of the disc.
He felt tired to avoid Qin Yu's increasingly intense attacks on him. While his two discs had now been lying on the arena floor, the inquiring tripled.
Finally Bao Han jumped backwards out of the arena, as he could no longer control his weapon.
The cheers of the audience, again sounded boisterous when they saw that. Qin Yu's ability and her beauty were two things that made her an idol to them.
The audience's voice eased his ripple as the monk Fanzeng spoke with his inner strength announcing Qin Yu as the winner in the final fight of this round.
The next round will resume after a fifteen-minute gap.
The audience's voice began to come back as Monk Fanzeng left the arena to rest for a while, during that fifteen-minute time lag.
While on the seats of the sect chiefs, Qin Rui got congratulations from some other Sect chiefs.
But in his heart Qin Rui felt suspicious about Qin Yu's progress in mastering the Ice Sword Sweep that his disciple had just used.
Fifteen minutes have passed, now only eight people have qualified in the quarter-finals.
Monk Fanzeng had also returned in the middle of the tournament arena. He then announced that in this round there will be four fights.
Then Monk Fanzeng called Xie Han and Ye Ma as participants in the first fight of this round.
The two saluted each other for a moment before starting a fight. Xie Han immediately prepared to use a different stance than before.
“Brother Ma Please .. “ Xie Han greets Ye Ma whom He has known as they dine together.
“Alright Brother Han, I won't hesitate anymore. I will use my strongest skill. Prepare ..” Ye Ma immediately put up his horses.
Ye Ruo, the Head of the Wind Sword Sect who was also Ye Ma's father looked tense as he watched his son prepare to use the strongest moves of their sect.
“Wind Sword Force Shakes Mayapada not yet fully He mastered, if Ma’er use it now, it means He sees his opponent is very great.”
Xie Han immediately prepared with his Sect's strongest Skill, the Fire Sword Burning Demon.
Although he had just entered the mastery stage of the skillful skill, but his attacks seemed very strong.
Ye Ma also showed abilities that were not bad, both of them began to fight by exerting all their abilities.
From dozens of moves, now entering dozens of moves. Both show a slick fight, making the audience amazed is often heard.
Even most of the Sect Chiefs, looked enthusiastically at the fight of the two. Awe is often heard from them.
Sword clashes were often heard, making the audience even more boisterous as the fight had entered a hundred moves.
Emperor Liu Feng also looked Enthusiastic at the fight of the two young men. If only he could recruit both in the military, he would give him the rank of high-ranking officer in the military.
As the fight was about to enter two hundred moves, Ye Ma seemed to be getting overwhelmed by Xie Han's attacks.
On one occasion, Xie Han managed to throw a kick at Ye Ma's back and make him bounce off the arena.
The audience cheered loudly, when they saw the victory of Xie Han who immediately stretched out his hand while apologizing to Ye Ma.
Ye Ma welcomed Xie Han's hand and the two hugged each other. A sense of haru enveloped the hearts of those who saw the familiarity and virility of attitude, of the two young men who had just fought each other.
“Brother Han .. You are great, I admit defeat. Good luck in the next round. “
“Brother Ma, thank you for giving up on me.” Xie Han said with a deep feeling in his heart, looking at the greatness of soul that Ye Ma showed him.
Monk Fanzeng also announced the victory of Xie Han and then called the participants who would fight next.
Wen Yi of the Crescent Moon Sect stepped into the arena together with Liu Ling. The sound of the audience applause and their cries, made the atmosphere of the tournament so lively.
Emperor Liu Feng was overjoyed to see his people rejoicing amid the great danger that was lurking over the security of Liu's empire some time ahead.
He also promised to hold a martial arts tournament like this in the next few years.
The sound of the gong again sounded as a sign of the start of the second fight in this quarter-final round.
The boisterous sound of the audience subsided as Wen Yi shot extremely high and began to attack the calm-looking Liu Ling facing that powerful and swift attack.
The two were still fighting empty-handed after dozens of moves had passed.
It was noticeable that Wen Yi was a little agonized with the heat coming out of Liu Ling's palms with her manager of the Hell Fire Site.
Feeling unable to get close to his opponent, Wen Yi immediately drew out a sword after he darted quite far away from Liu Ling.
Seeing the opponent pull out his weapon, Liu Ling also pulled out his sword which during the tournament he had never used.
The eyes of all the Sect Chiefs glared wide as they looked at the sword in Liu Ling's hand which was an heirloom sword that had disappeared since decades ago.
The Blue Fire Sword was one of the heirlooms that not everyone could use the sword.
Only those of True stature can use it. The same was the case with the Eternal Ice sword belonging to Chairman Qin Rui.
