"The first match will be between Grim and Peng Yang."

Both of them went on the stage.

Peng Yang said, "My brother told me to teach you a lesson."

"Your brother?" Grim was a bit surprised.

"His name is Shao Yang. Does that ring a bell?" Peng Yang asked

"So, back then he was talking about. You brothers are so alike."

Peng Yang snorted, "Looks like I have to teach your how to respect your seniors too."

"Water Slash" Peng Yang launched a water blade toward Grim.

"Dash" Grim disappeared from his original spot and ran toward another spot.

"Water Slash"

Peng Yang managed to attack the spot where Grim was about to appear.

Bang!

The attack had landed on him. He received a minor injury.

"But I'm sure I dodged it." He was astonished.

"Do you think the same trick would work on me?" Peng Yang snorted

"Fire Barrage"

"Let's see you escape this."

Hundreds of fire arrows made their way toward Grim.

Fire arrows covered almost all of the stage. So, it was difficult to dodge them.

"Water blade" Grim launched the attack toward the fire arrows.

Fire arrows and water blade made contact. However, the water evaporated quickly. The arrows were still progressing toward him.

"Earth Shield." He covered all of his body.

The arrows arrived in a few seconds and landed on him.

Boom!

He was fine. However, he had been knocked back.

"Hoh! You managed to come unharmed after that." Peng Yang exclaimed.

"Earth Spear" A giant spear formed above Peng Yang.

"Go"

The spear then cruised toward Grim.

"Dash" Grim dodged the attack.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief the spear broke into small fragments and scattered in all directions.

"Thew", and "Earth Shield" He used two abilities at a rapid speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Everyone wanted to see what was happening. However, the stage was filled with dust. It took 5 minutes for the dust to settle.

When the dust had settled, people could see two figures. One was standing while another was crouching.

The crouching figure was Grim. There were holes all over his 'earth shield', and he was bleeding profusely.

"Regeneration." His wounds started healing slowly and his bleeding stopped.

"Does this bastard only has area skills?" Grim was annoyed.

This time Peng Yang was astonished. Not because Grim was fine after the attack, but because he had healing ability. The ability was at the major level too.

"Now, I'll get serious."

"Chain Lightning" Multiple lightning bolts appeared around Chen Yang.

"Eat this." He launched the lightning bolts toward Grim.

"Earth Shield" Grim made a wall and hid behind it.

The wall was able to withstand the attack. However, the lightning bolts started going around the wall.

"Shit" Grim was caught off guard.

"Most of my attacks aren't enough to deal with him, and I'm starting to run low on Qi."

"Let's try this. 'distort'." He became invisible and slowly made his way toward Peng Yang.

Peng Yang was still focusing on the wall Grim had created. So, he had yet to notice.

Slowly he was able to reach within the attack distance of Peng Yang.

"Thew' He strengthened his body by 30 times and kicked Peng Yang.

"What." Peng Yang was caught by surprise.

Soon, he was sent off the stage.

"Grim's victory."

"Impossible"

"I, an entry-evolution realm disciple was defeated by a mid-refiner brat?"

Peng Yang shouted, "Just wait. You bastard. I'll have my revenge."

However, Grim paid no attention to him and left.

Meanwhile at the top of the arena.

"He was able to win against someone one realm above?" Bai Hua exclaimed.

"That's right. He is my soon-to-be disciple after all." Lou Xiang Boasted

Wang Ru snorted, "He did not win by using his strength."

Zao Chen interjected, "A win is a win, and he used his ability to win."

Back on the stage

"The next match will be between Tie Lan and Gao Cui."

Both of them went on the stage.

Gong!

The battle between them had started. Both of them were equally matched. However, Tie Lan was able to achieve victory because of his 'ice' element skill.

"The next match will be between Zhan Hui and Lei Nuan."

Lei Nuan was able to achieve victory with ease.

Then, it was the turn of Shao Zexi, Xia Peng, and Yuan Chang.

They were able to sweep the opponents easily.

Bai Hua made an announcement.

"Now, there are only six of you."

"There has been a change in the competition. Now, one of you will go on the stage and others will challenge the person."

"If you remain undefeated. Then, you will be the champion, and if you are defeated by someone. He/she will replace you."

"Now, let the competition start."

As soon as the competition began, Yuan Chang went on the stage.

Everyone was left flabbergasted.

"How arrogant. I'll teach you so manners." Tie Lan went on the stage. However, he was sent flying faster than he went to the stage.

Everyone remained quiet.

"Let me test your strength, Brother Chang." Xia Peng went on the stage.

Gong!

"Rush" Xia Peng ran toward Yuan Chang

He arrived in front of Yuan Chang in a split second and slashed toward him.

Clang!

His attack was parried by Yuan Chang.

Xia Peng backed off.

"Frost Rain" One after another icicles started appearing above the stage.

Soon, the entire area above the stage was covered with icicles.

"Down" Xia Peng launched the attack.

"Hellfire" Yuan Chang formed a giant fireball and launched it above.

Sizzle!

He was able to melt icicles above him. So, he was safe.

But, the entire stage was covered in frost.

"Light Surge" A beam of light surged toward Xia Peng.

Bam!

The attack had reached him before he could even blink. He was sent flying off the stage.

Xia Peng got off and bowed, "Thank you for going easy on me, Brother Yuan Chang."

He knew Yuan Chang hadn't used his full strength yet.

"No problem. Anyone who wants to challenge me?" Yuan Chang shouted

No one said anything. Everyone had seen what happened with Xia Peng.

As for Grim, he didn't care. He had achieved his goal already.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself, know your enemy."

No one challenged Yuan Chang. So, he was crowned as the winner.

And the rank was announced soon.
