BXBX NOVEL Chapter 400: Martial Grandmaster Competition Resul
400 Martial Grandmaster Competition Resul
There were two more fights left, but the result was already clear for Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower sect.
Nakagawa Hiina, who lost hope after losing to Evelyn, said, "I am sorry, Captain. I am not good enough even with a rank 4 Sword. I am overconfident of my ability just because I have won many battles to get the member position in this tournament. If only I could defeat her, we would be able to win."
"..." Mina looked at her with pity. Nakagawa Hiina could be said to be the number two in this team despite having 8-Star Martial Grandmaster cultivation. Sadly, whether it be brains or brawn, she was no match to her. Even if she reached 10-Star Martial Grandmaster, she doubted she could even rival her strength.
She looked at Nakagawa Hiina before she left to tend her wound. She gritted her teeth as they had been utterly lost in this aspect. If she put Nakagawa Hiina in the first round, they might win the first two.
Kuria suddenly came to her. "Captain, even if we are going to lose, we will not go down without a fight. We need to show the world our pride as the disciple of Rainbow Flower Sect."
Mina was a bit surprised to hear that. After all, Kuria would need to fight Florinda. Seeing her had yet to lose her motivation, Mina smiled and nodded. "That\'s right. We are going to show them what our Rainbow Flower Sect made of. We will fight until the last drop."
Having another surge of confidence, Mina slowly made her way to the arena. She looked at Elise, who already waited for her.
Elise smiled with confidence. "I am Elise, and my role is similar to your teammate in the fifth round."
"Do you think this competition is already over?" Mina said coldly as she took out her sword. "We are not going down without a fight. Your win is not assured as long as we don\'t give up."
Elise was astonished. She kept smiling as she took out her sword too. It looked like she was also going to fight her.
Both of them released their Spiritual Energy as well as Sword Domain. Elise\'s sword domain was 5 meters short from Mina\'s 25-meter sword domain. But it did not erase the confident smile on her face.
The people started cheering for them and they expected a good fight between them. They wanted to see the moment Heavenly Sword Sect won.
"Everyone. We have been expecting this moment from the start. Will the Heavenly Sword Sect win after this round or the Rainbow Flower Sect will win and turn around the situation? Let us have the answer in this battle.
"Match Start!"
Elise and Mina glared at each other. The pressure from Spiritual Energy finally vanished as Mina jumped forward while swinging her sword.
Surprisingly, at the same time, Elise recalled her Spiritual Energy and Sword Domain simultaneously. She looked at Mina with a smile, "I surrender."
The crowds were dumbfounded when they heard that, even Mina almost stumbled. She never expected Elise would surrender.
"What-! You?!" Mina looked at her while gritting her teeth. She did not know why, but having her surrender like this made her frustrated.
Elise smiled and left the arena with a smile, leaving all the people dumbfounded. They never expected that after all of these victories, Heavenly Sword Sect just to give up this battle.
The moment Elise came down from the arena, she looked at Evelyn and said, "Captain, the stage has been set."
Evelyn could not say anything to her as she was the reason why Elise did this. She wanted to rile up the Rainbow Flower Sect a bit more so Florinda would have an easier time against Kuria\'s.
This was Evelyn\'s plan. She wanted to mess with Kuria\'s mind with this. She wanted her to think that Kuria was not an opponent in their eyes. That way, she would get too riled to put up a good fight against Florinda. She would not be able to come up with a plan against Florinda as she was too consumed with anger.
Elise then turned to Florinda. "It is on you now, Florinda."
Florinda nodded her head. She just went ahead without saying anything.
She looked up and saw Kuria with rage filling her eyes. With their difference in power, she could slowly execute her plan against Kuria.
Kuria said, "If you think you can defeat me easily, then I will make sure you regret underestimating me."
"We never underestimate you… the one that underestimates you is yourself. Isn\'t it why you participate in this fight? Or do you want to say you are participating in this battle because everyone told you to do so? It is a pity then since all of your teammates truly underestimate you." Florinda smirked.
"You-!!"
"Match start!"
Florinda and Kuria jumped forward at the same time while swinging their swords.
"One Sword Strike!"
"Mountain Push."
*Clang*
The swing with full emotion from Kuria finally clashed with Florinda\'s powerful swing. Surprisingly, they were equal. The clash sent a shockwave toward the Audience but was repelled by the barrier.
They were fighting with their swords only, trying to probe each other\'s ability. However, if they tried to observe the battle carefully, they could clearly see Florinda\'s upper hand even in these many exchanges.
Kuria knew even with emotions, she could not close the gap between her and Florinda. Even though they were both 10-Star Martial Grandmasters, she would not be able to defeat her.
"Seven Stars Cut."
"Single Sword Strike." Kuria tried to break the Seven Stars Cut. After all, she had experienced this move in the past. It was a general move that most disciples from Heavenly Sword Sect learned. She was confident in destroying this attack.
Sadly, what she did not know was the fact this was the true Seven Stars Cut, which was a Heaven Tier Martial Art. It was not a half-assed sword wave like earlier, and Florinda was able to use it, albeit barely. This was all thanks to the First Elder. Ever since he became her master, he fixed all the wrongs, thus making her far stronger than she used to.
When Kuria took the blow head-on, she finally realized how powerful the move was. It was nothing compared to that fake in the past.
She gritted her teeth and shifted her sword a little. She deflected the sword wave to the sky with all of her strength, albeit it only let the sword wave fly to the crowd. It then got destroyed by the barrier.
Kuria suddenly spat blood. It took a toll on her body just to deflect the sword wave.
Florinda did not stop there. As soon as she saw an opening, she placed her hand on the ground.
"Icy Wind."
The temperature went down as the floor around Florinda started to be covered with ice. The ice then slowly spread and made its way toward Kuria.
Kuria could not dodge this as she needed a bit more time to move her feet again. In that case, she raised her sword and struck the arena.
"Single Sword Strike."
The strike made a huge crater on the ground. And forced the ground in front of her to raise. She was planning to use this wall to block the cold wind that soon struck her. If that cold wind struck her, she would get even more internal injuries.
Sadly, Florinda was inspired by Alex when she did this.
Back then, she used this kind of wall to protect her from Alex\'s. At that time, Alex took it as his advantage and defeated her as he could see through the ice wall she made.
Although she could not see through the wall like Alex, she made sure Kuria Kuria could not move, so she did not need to see her position like what Alex did.
"Seven Stars Cut."
Florinda was planning to end the fight with this.
Seeing that attack, Mina knew they would lose Kuria, so Mina wanted to end the fight by shouting. "We surrender."
Just before the Seven Stars Cut arrived, Honda Sana came and destroyed the sword wave with her bare hand. After that, she immediately came back to her original seat like nothing happened.
The announcer was shocked but still continued his job.
"Heavenly Sword Sect Wins!"
"This competition is really unpredictable. In the first round, we can see an alliance between four influences. They have managed to force Heavenly Sword Sect to use two priceless treasures, Teleportation Array Plate.
"After the great purge a few thousand years ago, the Space Element Array Master became very scarce. Even in this continent, we don\'t have a noticeable Space Element Array Master. Because of the great purge, they have been hiding their supreme talent. This exactly how priceless these two Teleportation Array Plates are.
"Just look how Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect could defeat the alliance between four influences in this limited area. If they have a bigger area, the might of Teleportation Array Plate would be more apparent. To use both of them at this competition, this shows how important this competition is to Heavenly Sword Sect.
"In this Grandmaster Stage Competition, we have Heavenly Sword Sect in the first place, Rainbow Flower Sect in the second place, and Buddha Sect in the third place. This is surprising to see no kingdoms in the ranking.
"After all, the next competition will be the Lord Stage Competition and judging by the amount of Martial Lords in the kingdoms… it put them to a great disadvantage in this competition. I am sure all of you are wondering how the kingdoms will contend with the four great sects or how the sects compete with each other.
"I will use this opportunity to explain the next competition. It will be very similar to today\'s competition, each influence would have a one versus one. But in this competition, each influence won\'t fight five times like before. Instead, they will fight until the last man standing. Let me elaborate on the competition a little bit.
"First, let\'s just say we have team A versus team B. Each team would send one of their fighters to have a one on one battle. In case team A won, that person can surrender and let the other person change him to fight the second person from team B. He also can participate again and fight the second person in team B. So, it this competition will depend on your strategy, what time is the perfect time to stop or the perfect time to defeat multiple times.
"Let us call each representative from each team to fill the bracket." The announcer explained while showing a competition bracket. It was your usual competition bracket where each team fought from eight to four and to the final.
Xiang Bai suddenly looked at Alex if he wanted to get it. Alex did not say anything first. It was true he was a bit curious about this, but he decided to see his luck today first before he nodded.
"System, use ten Gacha Tickets."
[Processing]
[Blue goose liver (R) x1]
[Array Paper 100x100 (R) x1]
[Summoning Coin (R) x5]
[Cleaving Blade Technique (R) x1]
[Rank 4 Blue Sky Sword (R) x1]
[Aloe Herb(R) x1]
[Water Bottle (C) x1]
[Silver Arrow (R) x1]
[Grappling Technique (R) x1]
[Summoning Coin (R) x1]
When Alex saw this, he was astonished. He never thought his luck was this good today since he got Rare items 9 out of 10. If it was like this, he should be able to get a good position for the team. Maybe he could meet Zhou Kingdom and obliterate them and such. But when he saw the unlucky item was a water bottle, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, Water bottle was the lowest rank item. In other words, if he accidentally got that 1 out of ten, he would get the unluckiest position possible.
He looked at Xiang Bai, who had great hope in his eyes and sighed. "Fine, I will go. My luck is a bit good today."
He said it was a bit good because of the water bottle. If he got another thing, he might say his luck was absolute today. Alex slowly descended into the arena.
Seeing that, Letizia also came. Cecilia did not stop her.
