"I
would like to have a try, I have never participated in a match. I am curious
about it…" Song Ning said shyly and he knew that what Qiu Yue said was
reasonable.
Qiu
Yue frowned, "Ok, after they finished fighting, you go ahead and I will help
you select an opponent."
"Thank
you, Qiu Yue." Song Ning cupped his hands.
"Wang
Dalei wins," after saying that Qiu Yue pointed at one person offstage, "Sun Mu,
come up."
Sun
Mu confounded a moment, then jumped onto the stage, "Yes, Qiu Yue!"
"Song
Ning, come up." cried Qiu Yue again.
Song
Ning held his fists and came up onto the stage.
Sun
Mu looked at Song Ning. He was a new comer and even walked onto the stage…
"Sun
Mu, Song Ning recovered from injuries and began to cultivate not long ago. He
just comes to experience the match. You should control yourself," said Qiu Yue.
Sun
Mu smiled, "Thank you, Qiu Yue."
Qiu
Yue frowned, "Thank me? If you are not the ordinary disciple with the lowest
cultivation, I wouldn't allow you to compete with Song Ning."
Sun
Mu rubbed his head embarrassedly and smiled, then turned to Song Ning, "Song
Ning, you go first. I will let you."
"Thank
you, brother. I haven't participated in such a match, please instruct me." Song
Ning felt delighted at this moment. He desired to match cultivation against
someone long time ago and he would fulfill his dream right now.
"Hha,
I must teach you in earnest, you go first." Sun Mu waited with his hands at the
back.
Song
Ning had no idea how to fight and he just followed what his senior brothers and
sisters had done just now, "Thanks, brother Sun."
As
Song Ning ended his words, he raised his hands and gathered spiritual gas together
in his fists. With a foot wag, he rushed at Sun Mu.
Sun
Mu laughed, "Brother Song, this move cannot…"
Sun
Mu raised his hands to defend as he spoke, but he felt the spiritual gas from
Song Ning's fists before he finished the sentence.
Bang!
Sun
Mu took several steps back, smell of blood rising from his throat, then he spit
out the blood.
There
was complete silence and Sun Mu's right arm was totally numb. He looked pale
and stared at Song Ning in shock.
Song
Ning was startled. He just wanted to throw a punch with full strength but he
injured Sun Mu unexpectedly.
"Are
you okay, Sun?" Song Ning came to him immediately and asked.
"You,
you hurt me deliberately!" shouted Sun Mu.
Qiu
Yue jumped onto the trial stage and stopped Song Ning, "Have you hid your spiritual
gas before?"
"No,
I haven't." Song Ning was confused.
Other
disciples present were familiar with Sun Mu but didn't know Song Ning. Sun Mu
let him, but he injured Sun Mu ruthlessly. They all felt injustice done to Sun
Mu.
"Qiu
Yue, what's wrong with him?"
"It's
unreasonable to hurt someone in a martial skill match. He broke rules, didn't
he?"
"He
should be banned from the match!"
All
ordinary disciples shouted and some even cursed Song Ning.
"Senior
brothers and sisters, I just focused on exerting full strength, I didn't mean
to hurt Sun," explained Song Ning.
While
the disciples were still criticizing, Qiu Yue shouted, "Shut up!"
Silence
was all around and Qiu Yue looked at Song Ning, "You are disqualified, just
leave us."
"Senior
sister Qiu Yue, I…"
"Leave!"
Biting
his lip, Song Ning bowed to Qiu Yue and then to Sun Mu, "I'm sorry, Sun."
The
ordinary disciples didn't believe Song Ning was indeed strong enough to hurt
Sun Mu. They thought Song Ning pretended to be weak and made a successful
attack. Thus their antipathy to Song Ning was aggravated.
Being
glowered by the crowd, Song Ning left sadly. As applause and cheers went up
again, Song Ning sighed bitterly.
In
the following time, Song Ning almost cultivated in his room and got out for
fresh air a few times. When coming across the ordinary disciples, no one talked
to him and some even wished they could teach him a lesson.
Song
Ning was found to be isolated by all disciples.
At
every night, when he looked at the sky beside the window after cultivating, he
missed his adoptive father, senior brothers and sisters. Thirteen years, they
had been lived together for thirteen years. But they were all killed because of
a dream.
It
was impossible that Song Ning had no grudge against Leng Yuexiao. Song Ning blamed
himself for sleepiness more. If he hadn't slept, he would not have saw what
happened and caused a massacre.
Day
by day, Song Ning's spiritual gas increased unceasingly. According to the
technique booklet, his spiritual gas should have been in the fifth level of
Energy Gathering Stage, however, he seemed to be still in the first level.
"No
wonder my adoptive father suggested that I was unsuitable for cultivation."
Song Ning sighed bitterly, maybe he couldn't take revenge until he lived
another life.
At
this point, Song Ning heard a noise from outside. He got out and saw quite a
few disciples walking to Tianhe City center in small groups.
"Brother,
is there something good?"
"Sister,
what happened?
While
these disciples just walked over him, no one answered him and some even didn't look
at him.
Song
Ning felt wronged with tears but he followed the crowd.
All
disciples of Tianhe City walked towards its center, ordinary disciples in
white, official disciples in blue, inter disciples in red and core disciples in
purple.
Amongst
these disciples, a male disciple in silver attracted Song Ning's eyes. He
carried a long sword and stood on the high stage beside a chair with his hands
clasped behind his back. He carried an arrogant air. Some elders were seated in
chairs. They should be the seniors of all major schools.
In
front of them, a match stage of one thousand square meters stood. Song Ning
understood the competition among three Schools was ready to begin.
"Look,
here comes sister Leng!"
In
the distance, Leng Yuexiao in colorful clothes was coming with flowers flying
beneath. She landed on the high stage and bowed to the elders before her, "Dear
elders, sorry, I'm late."
"Not
at all, we are waiting the Taoist friends from other two schools." The masters
was seated in the center. She stood up while others beside them followed her.
They looked far into the distance.
Several
clouds appeared in the sky, holding twenty-four person.
"Welcome,
Taoist friends of Sunset Mountain and Cloud Mountain." The master shouted.
"Hha,
Taoist Red Maple, how are you?" A purple-haired elder laughed in the air.
Four
of the twenty four people landed on the high stage and the rest on the match
stage. Song Ning looked at them carefully. He supposed that every school should
send ten disciples to the competition, each two disciples representing one
level.
