Alberu proved to be a hard opponent, he managed to convince Huo Feng (please read: forced Huo Feng ) to change seat. The masked man took his seat triumphant of his victory. No longer caring if Alberu would fight him to take his seat, Yu Zhúlín managed to relax unto his chair."So," The guy dragged, in Zhi Ruo's eyes, Alberu's mask was a sore eye. Now that she knew of his identity (at least his name) she really didn't think that him wearing a mask was something coincidental. Though those were just her selfish thoughts. Zhi Ruo's body snapped at Alberu's direction.Alberu's lips twitched under his mask upon seeing Zhi Ruo's abrupt actions. He was given quite a scare for a second. But he played the situation to his favor, after seeing that Zhi Ruo was finally putting her attention to him. He opened his arms wide as if saying to look at his body. Which one can add, was covered in shallow wounds. His actions managed to tell Zhi Ru

"You and y'all's dry ass humor you got going on." Zhi Ruo instantly responded after seeing Yu Zhúlín crack a smile. There's a few things that can make Zhi Ruo laugh, and two of them are 'stupid people' doing stupid shit. And dark humor. There's barely anything that Zhi Ruo could get to laugh at.And one of those aren't certainly Alberu's weird ass jokes that Yu Zhúlín seemed to enjoy. Then again, the two were practically friends now after spending the duration of the entire tournament near eachother. Well, it was mostly Alberu sticking close to Yu Zhúlín like a sticky glue. And one could guess that Alberu's hard work finally paid off, because it seemed like the green haired man was finally easing at the masked man's presence. Anything closer though Zhi Ruo might as well call it gay, not that she'd judge of course, but she'd certainly enjoy teasing whoever makes an reaction though.'But what if these dolts are Bi??' Zhi Ruo's thoughts suddenly made an abrupt turn. 'Aint people back th

She didn't realize that it was 'that' expensive, she could get that type of pill any day she wanted if she just had enough materials and resources for it. Which was always available, because of her mark. Zhi Ruo almost forgotten when she had problems in getting such pills, she realized that not everyone was as privileged as her.Her face wrinkled as she watched as the medics finally left the 5th placer and the practitioner alone so that he could be finally announced as the winner. The medics turned their attention at the corpse not far from where they were standing, and found that the others were already starting to scrape the blood off the pavement floor."Han Wanran proceeds to the next round as the winner of this battle!" The practitioner's voice overlapped the announcer's voice as he declared the 5th placer as the winner. Though, the 5th placer should now be considered, and formally known as Han Wanran now.Zhi Ruo tapped her finger at her arms chain in a repeatedly chain of rythm

"You can go if you want to," Zhi Ruo drawled, her mask was illuminated with whatever light that was at the arena." No one is really stopping you here." She said, the people that was cleaning the blood and grime off the arena was slowly retreating now. It seems like they were done.Huang Yanyuan pursed his lips upon hearing Zhi Ruo's reply. He found that she was right, and no one was really truly keeping him back. The only reason that he was staying back was because he found it weird that he would go out by himself when everyone around him seemed like they were fine sitting down. Seeing that Huang Yanyuan was staying silent, Ravel took this chance to pull out some lamp and lit it up quietly. The light from the lamp engulfed the entire podium, and everyone casted a glance towards Ravel's direction. They were unperturbed by the light, they merely took this chance to relax for a while."No, I'd just stay here with you guys after all." The man assented, he glanced at his torn up robes and

"Alberu Luminaf vs. Huang Yanyuan""Huo Feng vs. Yu Zhúlín""Ye Zhi Ruo vs. Han Wanran"The names that was being displayed on the board flashed, and it dazzled everyone, everyone but the people on the podium that was looking at their names with blank gazes. Zhi Ruo puckered her lips upon seeing who she was partnered up with."Oh, atleast you got your wish fulfilled." Zhi Ruo said jokingly towards Huang Yanyuan, though the tone of her voice bordered between blandness. Her voice caught everyone's attention, before they all went to look at the board again. They all sighed to themselves."Oh," near her, Zhi Ruo could hear her future opponent mutter to himself. Han Wanran looked like he wanted to be somewhere else the moment he saw his name next to Zhi Ruo. He didn't have any other choice though. It wasn't like the others were any better. Zhi Ruo made her eyebrows twitch, she could not care less as to who her opponent was. She knew she would end up facing them sooner or later. "Ah, well, g
