The Cheng clan members immediately approached the unconscious Cheng Lu and took him away to heal his injuries. They never imagined that there was someone among the students that could defeat Cheng Lu.

Tian walked off the stage and joined with Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was very happy for his brother and kept on praising him. His motivation to grow stronger has increased, while he was having a hard time dealing with First Layer Blood refinement cultivators, Tian was already able to defeat Seventh Layer Blood refinement cultivators. He wanted to grow stronger and faster.

Number Six was the only person who was the real winner outside the ring. He bet all his money on his young Master and has won 20 million. When he reported the same to his brothers, they were all shocked with their jaws wide open. Never in their wildest imaginations did they imagine that Number Six would be able to earn such a large amount.

The Tournament was a roller coaster for many of the audience, the rise of two dark horses was really a surprise for everyone. Body refinement and Blood refinement stages have a very large gulf in between, it was practically impossible for someone at body refinement stage to stand his ground against a blood refinement realm cultivator. But Zhang Tie was able to do so and fight on equal ground, if not exhaustion in his energy, it was sure that he would've won the match.

There was also Tian, who had not even joined the higher class officially but was able to fight and defeat someone at seventh layer of blood refinement while himself being in fourth layer of blood refinement.

Head master Buck Wing has never imagined that Tian would win the tournament, his eyes were shining bright and he had a cunning smile. He was planning something else for Tian

Finally, the reward ceremony has begun. Zhang Tie and Tian received their prizes and went off without caring for the ones who were trying to get to know them.

After a while, someone in the crowd started to shout, "Oh my god! I am robbed!!!! All my herbs and potions are goneee!!!"

"Mine as well! Who was that damned thief! Hurry and search for him"

One by one everyone realized that herbs and potions were missing from them, even the people from the major clans of Huang city were not spared. But it was peculiar that none of their money or devices were not even touched.

There was an old thief Lian in the crowd, he wanted to watch the tournament and came over, but didn't realize that even he would be robbed.

One of the persons in the crowd recognized thief Lian and shouted, "Hey! I found the thief!!!! Here he is!", he pointed towards Lian and all others started to pound him

Everyone started to kick him like a ball, throwing him up in the air and kicking his butt. "Where are my items you damned thief!!", the crowd went crazy, Lian someone managed to escape from the crowded people with bruises all over his face and swollen buttocks

'Why am i so unlucky today! I just wanted to watch the tournament and all these people started beating me', While Tian was crying in anguish, Somewhere outside the tournament area a white monkey opened its mouth and started to eat a 100 year old ginseng.

It went on eating the herbs then suddenly someone grabbed it form behind and lifted it up, "Little White, what are you doing here? Didn't i tell you to stay with granny and what are you eating? Don't just eat anything off the street. Let's go home", Tian placed Little White on his shoulders.

When it saw Zhang Tie beside Tian. It stuck its tongue out and mocked Zhange Tie. Zhang Tie face palmed, he didn't understand what to do with this monkey. It always rubbed against Tian, but whenever it sees him it acts violent.

For Tian, the money didn't matter, what he really wanted was to cultivate in the spiritual pool of Huang City. He decided to consume the Rising Sun pill inside the spiritual pool, so that the effects of the pill will be increased.

After going home, he took out purple spirit potion and consumed it. Although the effects were not much, he was able to increase the spiritual energy inside his meridians.

After consolidating the medical effects of the Purple spirit potion, he took out the Earth spirit potion and consumed it as well. The potency of Earth spirit potion was not comparable to the Purple spirit potion. Tian took some time to absorb all the energy of the potion. With the help of Earth Spirit potion, Tian was able to break into 5th Layer Blood refinement stage.

Tian continued to use the residual energy and practiced his Raging Fist. After depleting his entire energy, he was finally able to cultivate it till first level. Now his punch has the power to defeat a 5th layer blood refinement cultivator with just a single punch.

Even Cheng Lu might not last more than a minute if they were to fight again. He continued to cultivate and fill his meridian with spiritual energy.

Tian took Little white into his arms, he didn't notice it before but Little white has already reached fourth layer of body refinement. "How and when did you grow so strong Little white. Just what were you doing?", Little white bent its head in a cute way and tried to act cute with sparkling eyes.

Tian finally let go of it and went back into his bed and started sleep cultivation. After Tian modified the breathing technique to sleeping technique, he found that he was able to get more comfortable sleep, like he was sleeping on clouds.

Zhang Tie on the other hand, has already broken through to the First layer of blood refinement. He was able to feel the immense power and understood the real difference between body refinement and blood refinement realms.

Inside a luxurious room in the Cheng Clan, "I don't give a damn. No matter what, I want him dead!", Cheng Lu roared at a black robed person before him.

"Young Master Lu, please give us some time. The tournament has just ended and we can't take such steps right now. We will find the right time to make our move", he said in a clam tone.

Cheng Lu snorted and went back into his chambers, he felt humiliated when he was defeated in front of all those people. He wanted to make sure Tian wouldn't live to calm down his anger. Cheng Lu would've never imagined, that this one decision of his would bring down his clan that has lasted for hundreds of years inside the Huang City, standing at the apex of the power houses.
