Now...
Just when the shadow struck the ground with the scythe.
He slipped and did the back kick on its neck, then he kicked its head with his leg and used all his spiritual mana on it — that it hit the ground with the shadow's face.
And he quickly ran to the wolf and lion.
They both used their magic and ran forward from both sides.
He shifted his leg direction again and turned to the wolf and rotated while creating Spiritual Blas
t and blasted its skull.
And then the lion reached him
When that happens.
He used another explosion on the lion's face and spun on its back and caught its tail and threw him at the shadow coming forward.
And then at that time, he used Mega Explosion, and the wolf attacked from behind.
So he threw the Mega Explosion on the two and turned around and kneeled, bent backwards because of the thunder attack coming right away.
So he stood with two mega attacks on his hand.
He completely busted his body wide open, and David summoned it back to its place where it regenerates using David's mana.
The others were hurt as well, so he returned them and said:
"I'm gonna fight you with Beast Realm: 3rd Stage — Summon the Dragon."
No one heard him say dragon, but then out of nowhere, Jian got blasted and he got hurt.
And then again, something threw and picked him up and slammed him to the wall and threw him again.
Then he escaped the second one, and then the new beast came running.
It was a dragon — not like the one we met in Nyumbani Kingdom, but it's kinda strong.
Then David sent the dragon here and there and attacked. David — the dragon can't really be seen by eye — it just kicks again and again from various points and draws him into a corner.
Then Jian said:
"Spirit Realm — 5th Stage: Summon Water Spirit Dragon (Chinese Dragon)."
And then out of nowhere, David's dragon was thrown and it fell from the sky and landed on its back.
As that happens, Jian flew and said:
"Show me all what you got, you filthy lizard!"
Then David's dragon stood up and used its breath, and Jian said:
"Spiritual Soul Binding."
And he bound his soul with the dragon — and just from standing there, the dragon was revolving around him.
We didn't see it until the sky darkened and the rain began to fall.
Then the dragon came and faced David's dragon. And David said:
"You never fail to amaze me, Jian."
And Jian said:
"So do you."
And since he bound himself with the dragon, he can control it from the sky and he was performing Long Ying Martial Art Dance.
Then his dragon attacked David's one, and David's one breathed fire, and Jian's dragon breathed water.
And then both sides used all their mana into one attack — and Jian blew the other dragon and even passed through it by making a hole in it and returned to its owner, Jian.
And Jian stood all high and mighty. Then David screamed and said:
"Good job. For real, good job. Now the real fight begins."
And he said:
"Taming Realm — Beastification: Dragonite Form."
And said:
"Let's go hand to hand."
Then Jian said:
"Interesting... bring it on."
Then Jian said:
"Attack me now."
And after a second, David said:
"I'm not done with my form yet."
And on his body a dragon tail and dragon skin and some other type grew and he said:
"Here I come."
And suddenly he's in front of Jian — he just needs to try and jump into Jian
He will eventually get there without a struggle.
Then Jian's dragon covered Jian and David kept on punching.
He began to reach him and slowly punched him, then he absolutely dog-walked him until—
He then said:
"Spirit Realm — 7th Stage: Soul Fusion."
And just like David, he fused with the dragon.
And they saw each other — his spiritual mana was flowing even more and more.
Then Jian said:
"Sorry to disappoint, but this ain't gonna cut it. You better have something more up your sleeve."
And then David said:
"Goes same for you."
They both ran and jumped and began to punch all over the stage — and they were destroying the stage without them touching it.
And 1000 punches in a minute.
They were punching each other again and again.
Their punches were so strong that the stadium began to shake.
And then they clashed head to head and bled.
Jian took and slammed David to the ground.
And then David, after getting hit, caught up and he used his Draconic Claw and slammed Jian by his turn.
And they continued like that until both sides can't get up anymore — so they got their summons back to regenerate.
And as we see, the ones who took the damage are the beasts or monsters in finishing or beastifying.
After that, they both began natural hand-to-hand fight.
Then David jumped back twice and
said:
"Taming Realm — Unification."
And unified with a tiger and bear, forming armor...
Jian laughed and said:
"Spiritual Realm: Soul Armor."
And all those monsters David saw covered him and made him an armor — even a tail was on his shoulder and rotating around Jian's neck.
Everyone lost their minds, and they all supported them. Each of their fans went crazy.
The whole world was on it. Everything was so unbelievably strong.
Then a teacher came and stopped the fight and said it's a draw.
Both sides shook hands and took a photo together and got out.
Mei ran faster and she got in, and she was really happy — I could see it in her eyes.
Her gloomy boyfriend is the best there is in the world, and is now so famous that he began to earn just by his face on media.
She hugged him, and we all congratulated him. Soon after, the next 3 matches, their group lost — even though Mei and Jian won, the others lost. And that's considered as 3 fails and 2 wins.
For David's group, it's considered 1 fail and 4 wins.
Then he walked out and everyone was captivated by his laugh, act, and how he acts — his behavior and the way he fights.
So they interviewed him.
Good thing he showed them he already had a girlfriend on the show so people wouldn't make rumors about his love life.
And that was it.
Alistair himself came and took a picture with him, and he said one important thing in the live-streamed news:
> "The next fight is gonna be between the ones who never lost a match — the only aura users here — vs. the strongest mana users: the Light Magic Users."
The first had been planned by us:
1. Tiana vs Nao
2. Kai vs Theo
3. Callum vs Zephyr
4. Elena vs Kazuki
5. Rowan vs Ebisu
And we began to wonder — who is Ebisu?
Then they began to remember when one of the students said,
> "The one who defeated Dante."
The whole student body began to go crazy.
The old man said he will change the place into a public one, and the arena can hold up to— it was traumatizing to know — 300,000 people.
And students already have preserved places, and the tickets began to be sold.
I really began to get nervous about the match — even more than Alistair's attack.
Well, next week will decide everything.
---
Then I began to train Kai. Me and Zephyr had our own lessons, and this time around, the one teaching us is Alpha.
Alpha already finished all the matters in the demon land, and thanks to Beta, he can seal his negative mana and act as a human with the lowest mana point ever.
So we left there.
Alpha teaches me how to use the chains — unbelievably agile.
So I was worried… but not anymore.
He said since I won't be healing, I must be able to use the dragon strength, so my body is special — my skin becomes unpeirceable.
And then… the final battle began.
> I'm gonna teach them all who I am.
I'm not training for the match.
I'm training for the fight with Alistair.
And I managed to hit 300 slashes in around 5 seconds. I taught myself speed — that's what I want.
Speed is all I need.
I've been focusing on my body, focusing on exercise.
I've disappeared out of the scene.
Everyone is training hard together — and I train alone.
Just alone. No contact with anyone for days.
---
On top of a mountain, with really harsh cold out there…
I learned how to sense things from afar.
And when I tapped into ki, it felt as if I was swimming in a pool where people don't know how to swim, and I can differentiate them by clothes or how they swim — something only they have.
That's how I feel now.
Meditating never feels boring.
When I tapped into ki, I could see all the mountain.
And that helped me get my third eye to open — not physically.
The third eye is all about perceiving what the physical realm can't perceive.
That's the third eye for me.
Thanks to the third eye, my intuition and precognition have increased significantly.
If there is any dangerous attack coming,
> I see it vividly first.
So it's easier to dodge.
Never in my life did I think I would be here — learning and saving millions of lives.
Not only the human race, even demons as well.
---
Now, we must play along with Alistair's plan.
And now, I move by myself.
Finally, Beta and Sigma arrived here — I can sense them.
We all got ready because tomorrow will be the day:
The tournament begins
And Alistair's sneaky attack strikes
Better go meditating this night…
And think about tomorrow.
That's the spirit.
Then the next day, I wore my personal clothes for the fight — black harem pants that I seem to be obsessed with, and a white T-shirt that had the number 9th on it.
I walked out of the mountain and teleported to the place where the others were.
Me and the group got ready to go out.
It feels like we are here to save the world, not just fight a match.
Then we approached the stadium.
The light magic users were playing around, and everyone was cheering them up.
Suddenly, the stadium went silent.
Up in the sky, the camera picked us up and we were displayed on the big screen — looking down on them while sitting in a barrier.
Zephyr created the barrier as a lift and took us down.
We jumped mid-air.
After that, we took our jackets off and put them on our shoulders and walked boldly.
Then they saw us and said,
> "You really do aura farm."
We said nothing and got into our seats.
I sat down — knees apart, hands on knees.
Then Alistair came and talked for a while.
The first match was about to begin.
---
Kai said,
> "I'm gonna come back winning, so don't worry. Focus on your opponents, not this match."
And he went up.
Theo said,
> "I really wanted to fight you from the moment I saw you, Kai."
Then Kai said,
"Really? I'll give you what you want."
He restrained his hair and took his bandage off his other eye — and everyone was shocked.
He really looked so hot, but that eye he hides has a fractured pupil and iris, as if they are a mirror, and it was giving off a powerful aura vibe.
The moment that happened, Theo said,
> "You look ugly as f*ck."
Then Kai smirked,
> "But that's not what you're thinking in your head."
The referee said,
> "Get ready."
And then left the stage, exploding the fire.
---
Both sides didn't attack.
They just stood there.
Then Theo came with a light explosion from both sides, but none reached Kai — because of his eye.
Kai said,
> "Yo, listen."
Theo stopped.
"What?"
Kai said,
"You know how those motherf*ckers fought last week, right?"
"Yeah, it was awesome."
Kai replied,
"Let's either recreate it — or completely bury it beneath our feet."
Then Theo walked back to his place, and Kai did the same.
Theo said,
> "Light Magic Realm: Moon Stage — Luminous Blending!"
His body started to glow.
Then Kai said,
> "Ethereal Art: 3rd Wave — Echo Transcendence."
His body began to vividly wave, as if we couldn't see it anymore.
That's when they both ran and clashed, beginning to fight.
Within seconds, so many light flashes and sound bombs went off — the field was getting destroyed.
They began to disappear, because they were fighting in the air, inside the stadium, faster than the eye could follow.
They zig-zagged, attacking each other.
Then Theo got Kai and sent him flying with a punch using his light magic.
But Kai came back, launching himself straight — and then both of them, without knowing, were becoming sound and light, as if their bodies didn't have flesh anymore.
They began to punch again and again — testing their speed.
It worked — unbelievably.
They were about to pass their limit in the very f
irst hour.
---
Then Kai landed on the ground.
Theo said:
> "Light Magic Realm: Star Stage — Twin Caracal, come here babies."
Caracals are animals from the cat family — and they're really strong.
Then Kai used his sound speed attack, and Caracal #1 attacked from the side.
Kai dodged and fell back.
The moment he stepped on the ground, Caracal #2 attacked him.
Then Kai used his sound ability to push himself and backflipped.
Theo attacked him with a light bomb on the head — and then waited.
> "Is he dead, or what?"
Then Kai's voice echoed,
> "A weak attack like that won't kill me."
Suddenly, Kai used sound speed and reached Theo's throat.
Theo barely saved himself by jumping backward.
Caracal #1 covered for him.
Then Kai said,
> "Come on, are you tired or something?"
