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
A few minutes later, Han Wanran was eating the food that Ravel had on hand after giving Zhi Ruo a grateful smile when he was informed that Ravel was Zhi Ruo's butler. Among these few minutes, Han Wanran was then filled in with what happened when he and Alberu was away. To say the least that Han Wanran could not stop giggling was an understatement. The guy was was soon full blown up laughing by the time Zhi Ruo finished her soda that was disguised as tea. By then, the girl was just tuning ot whatever nonetheless the rest were speaking. She was far to tired to deal with their constant teasing.Soon, another one joined the ones on the podium. And unsurprisingly (because everyone was watching the fight in the first place) the green robed youth walked up the podium with large patches of injuries, bloodied and dirty wounds, that littered across his body.The wounds were poorly wrapped with some gauze, and Zhi Ruo could tell no one bothered to clean the wounds before wrapping them up like i
"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
Everyone got out of their room slumping, they knew that the tournament was about to start again after the walls started shaking and the cheers only became louder. To their expectations, they know that there is probably more drunk man now than the last one. It was a normal scene now, all of them summarized.They didn't wait for the staff to get them, they all went earlier than expected. Ravel was no where to be seen, and Zhi Ruo didn't care, she knew that he was probably with her grandfather now. She met up with the others after seeing that she wasn't the only one that decided to go out early."Yo," the girl greeted raising her arms. The rest of the men turned to look at her direction and nodded, they took in Zhi Ruo's lax appearance and they could not help but tense up. They can't be too friendly now, after all, who knows which one of them fights the other.Like he didn't notice the tensed up atmosphere around him, Alberu greeted Zhi Ruo with an up tone. "Good morning." He said, raisi
"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
Zhi Ruo's eyes narrowed dangerously under her mask and her lips puckered up like she was pondering over something. Her eyes scanned her status one more time, and she half pondered if she should just lock her cultivation realm up, or level up. But the second one she can't do because she needed mission for those.But the girl noticed something. Well, it was hard not to notice because of the hard fact that it was basically the only sore thing that was sticking out from her status window. And that was her STR stat that was well over 500+ now. But she still have not received a single notification from the system.[How come that I could still pump up MP on my weapon, which in turn ramps up my STR stat, but then, I am being told that I can not pump up on the other status points I have?] She could not help but ask the system. The girl was currently blind and deaf to the world as she asked her problem. [That is because the ancient sentient weapon named as "Zhōngguó" is used to serve as a medi
Zhi Ruo eyed the bloody mess Alberu has made for himself, in judgement and scrutiny. Like she was saying 'oh, do they not really see that act that they call as a mess right there?' However, since everyone said their opinions, Zhi Ruo wasn't the kind of person to go and ruin it for them.So the girl stayed silent and kept to herself. But when Alberu took a punch through this gut, because he dodged it from his face, it made her crack a small smug smile. Though the snort that came from her lips accidentally got out, did, earn her a glance from both of her senior brothers."I know you just laughed," Huo Feng told Zhi Ruo who was snickering to herself. "Why even bother hiding it when you are basically wheezing everytime the guy receives a punch." From the corner of Zhi Ruo's eyes, she could see Han Wanran sighing and sagging on his seat in vague amusement."Whatcha even going to do about it, you twat." The girl muttered under her breath, which was not heard by any other ears but hers alone
However, the more Huang Yanyuan's eyes blurred as his consciousness started to waver. The more he panicked, without relying on his sight, he decided to close his eyes and let his body move as the wind directed him too. This made him catch his breath in the long run, as he steadied himself on his feet.The smoke cleared up, and only a few residue was left around the entire arena. However, when the smoke cleared up because of the two's (Huang Yanyuan and Alberu) movements; that helped disapated the smoke faster— everyone saw that Huang Yanyuan was still closing his eyes without even trying to open them.Alberu breathed, his body maneuvered into a more comfortable position before he stopped entirely. His hand reached out to adjust his mask, his eyes gazing at his opponent in front of him that was struggling to stay unto his feet. Briefly Alberu wanted to know if his fight had amused the audience yet.This, by far, was the only fight that he willingly put himself at risk because he wanted
