Bloodsnake's fists landed heavily on Blueflame, which caused Lee to fly back, but he immediately stabbed Blueflame into the floor of the shop, surprisingly, Blueflame failed to pierce the metal floor, and was only able to leave a faint white mark as it dragged Lee's body along, but it was enough for Lee to gain his balance, as he then flipped in air and landed gracefully.

Bloodsnake who just stood firm on the ground like a hill, rather than having a mocking or contempt filled expression, had shock written all over his face, if one stared well at his fist, one would see a tear, which had blood slowly dropping from it.

"You aarrr.....are already at the second stage" Bloodsnake stuttered. Before he reached the second stage of spiritual refinement, he had spent more than a month, clans like Light Wolf didn't need ceremonies before they started cultivating, all that was required was you to have a very strong body, which would be able to endure the berserk energy present in the blood of a mystical beast.

Though Lee appeared at the disadvantage after the first clash, Bloodsnake knew that it was all because of his stronger body, with how Blueflame was able to pierce his skin even with his injected blood, he could easily identity that Lee was on a stage not weaker than him.

"Are you the only one allowed to reach second stage" Lee calmly said, as he gently placed Blueflame on his shoulder.

Master Yang who stood at the corner of his shop, had his face badly twisted, he hadn't expected such outcome, how could he have imagined that Lee would raise one stage in the space of just two weeks!

If he knew at all how Lee had been fed with an astronomical amount of mystical cores, he would be shocked stiff.

"Hmmph, I don't know how you managed to reach this stage, but know that we are still not comparable" With this Bloodsnake charged towards Lee. Lee like a bullet also dashed forth.

"Swoosh!"     

Lee hacked his sword towards Bloodsnake's head and the latter immediately blocked with his formidable fist.

"Bang!"

Lee took three steps backward, but this time he was prepared, as he immediately pulled forward once again. Like a whip Lee sent Blueflame swinging towards Bloodsnake's leg, the lad snorted and sprang into the air, a wicked grin suddenly appeared on his face, as he then sent a vicious kick towards Lee's jaw.

With the speed at which the kick was flying towards Lee, it seemed uncertain if he would be able to dodge. It was at this point that Lee revealed the nimbleness of his body, he lightning-quick pulled Blueflame back and raised his sword to counter the incoming kick.

"Bang!"

The air muffled a bit, and then Lee sent his right leg backwards to support his body, the scene lasted for a breath, that of Bloodsnake's leg pressed on Blueflame wielded by the serene looking Lee, it was quite interesting!

Suddenly, a cheeky smile appeared on Lee's face and then, Blueflame just like a phantom mysteriously pulled away from Bloodsnake's leg and then the power filled kick descended towards Lee's body who sidestepped, and like a flash of light he appeared behind Bloodsnake who's body had yet to fully land on the ground.

Bloodsnake was frightened and immediately tried to dodge, but the speed at which Blueflame was dashing towards him was extremely swift.

The blade of Blueflame was rushing towards his head, and then Bloodsnake was beginning to panic. "You dare!" Bloodsnake couldn't help but yell, his body unwittingly began to fidget, when he saw the expressionless face of Lee, though he was entirely sure that Lee could not kill him, there was no one who wouldn't freak out when a perilous blade was dashing towards his skull!

But Master Yang, seemed unconcerned by this as he stared admiringly at Lee, with the temperament and knowledge Lee had received, he knew the callant wouldn't dare kill Bloodsnake right in front of him.

It was at this moment, that when Blueflame was half an inch from Bloodsnake's head, did the latter flick his hand, and the point which was now thrusting towards Bloodsnake's head rather than been the blade was the hilt, which he fiercely slammed on the callant's head who took several steps forward before he regained his balance. 

"Do you still want to fight?" Lee asked with a mocking grin on his face.

"...." Bloodsnake wanted to reply but the thought of Lee's sword almost piercing his head, couldn't help but resurface in his mind. He felt a chill flow down his spine!

Bloodsnake took in several breaths, thinking deep about it, he didn't find any reason why he should be disappointed, if one should rank him, he would be among the top five in his clan, but compared to Lee who was regarded as the number one talent in Wateredge, there was a difference, though he knew of this, he could only agree if he witnessed the lad's ability, but now he had no doubt that Lee gained that position rightfully!

It took a while before Bloodsnake finally sighed and then cupped his hands towards Master Yang. "Master Yang I think it is decided, I should take my leave".

"*Chuckles*"

"Wise boy!" Master Yang smiled and then waved his hands, and a light shot towards Bloodsnake, the lad speedily grabbed it, and when he stared at the pouch that had appeared on his hand, he ecstatically bowed "Thank you Master Yang"

"That's for the trouble, come back here in few days as I had promised!" 

Bloodsnake nodded his head, and raised his foot to leave the shop, but before he left the shop, he glanced at Lee venomously.

"Don't assume this is over, Lee" Bloodsnake's figure vanished but his vicious word lingered on.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, with how shameless Master Yang had acted he was a bit hesitant to speak.

"Teacher, your humble disciple greets you" Lee smiled cheekily, with the character of Master Yang, Lee had decided to show the latter the flippant side of him.
