It has been half a year went by since Lucifer left with Moon and currently Luna and Sia are facing each other. Around them is a large crowd cheering as its the finals of the tournament. The tournament happens every six months as it allows the sect to measure the disciple progress. From the sky the Sect Master watches over secretly in order to watch for corruption and to rush in if their a problem.

“Maybe it time for these two to become inner disciple in the near future but let wait for their cultivation to reach golden core realm first,” The sect master thought as he watched them use only one strike to reach the finals.

“Luna, Luna, Luna,” Half the crowd chanted while the other half cheered for Sia in similar fashion. During the last six-month Luna and Sia been gaining fame throughout and outside the sect for being rank one alchemists at such young age. There has been many trying to woo them for brighter future but are always turned down.

“Let the finals begin,” The referee said as he floated above the stage.

Luna brought out her sword causing the crowd to cheer as she didn’t use her sword for the earlier matches. Seeing that Luna brought out her sword Sia decided to bring out her spear taking up a defensive position.

“I’m going to win this time,” Luna said. When these two normally spar both of them don’t hold an advantage over the other.

“We will see about it,” Sia said.

Luna’s sword began to turn red and flames began to hover around her increasing the surrounding temperature rapidly causing the ones near the stage to step back. The ground around Luna feet began to melt as the heat continue to increase but Si stood there looking unaffected.

“You manage to increase once again impressive,” Sia said feeling the heat.

“I want to see how you will deal with it this time,” Luna said increasing it even more almost having lava around her.

“Hmm… This might be trouble if you were facing a group but it pretty simply to deal with,” Sia said and began rapidly spinning her spear causing the heat to be blown backward over the crowd who began to turn red from the heat. Even some unlucky few clothes began to burn leaving burn marks.

“I thought of plenty of ways to fix this weakness,” Luna said and threw up her sword which began to rapidly spin faster causing a small flame tornado to form. Seeing the tornado head toward her Sia stab out with her spear making it look as if it extended heading toward Luna.

Luna who without her sword saw the spear coming so she quickly raised her arms and gather he Qi into defensive barrier to block spear. When the spear impacted it easily went through her outer qi barrier but stop after touching her skin as it couldn’t move any further.

“What dense Qi they have and what amazing quality too,” The sect master praised.

“It a good thing Lucifer not here or they would be stuck under his shadow which can block out even older generation geniuses.” Sect master thought.

“You manage to block it impressive,” Sia said with a little excitement.

“Well now that the warm up over let get to the real battle,” Luna said calling back her sword as the tornado stopped when she defends against the spear.

“Very well,” Sia said.

Hearing what they were talking about on stage the crowd was shocked as it was impressive and they knew they couldn’t withstand one of those attack yet they call it a warm up. In the sky the Sect Master was debating to end it and named them both a winner and allow them to become inner disciple or watch and see how it plays out. The referee was having same internal battle but his reasoning was different as he watches the stage being destroyed which is made out of stone that even Golden Core Realm cultivation have a hard time breaking.

Facing each other Luna and Sia began to channel their Qi into their weapons. Luna began to sprint toward Sia while Sia began to strike out rapidly with her spear making it look as if a snake was striking. Luna kept parrying the spear causing loud clashing sounds as they collided.

Luna counter attacked after each parry with a fire blade which caused Sia to dodge giving Luna time to become closer. When Luna reach was in range she swung her sword, which collided with the spear causing both to slid backward few steps.

The crowd cheered as watched intensely as they want to try to gain insight or see who going to win as they bet most of their money on this match.

“Should we finish it in the next strike,” Sia asked.

“Why not,” Luna said with a smile.

Both of them smiled as they raised their weapons once again. Both of their weapon began to glow and looked as if the weapon about to exploded at any second. Seeing that they were preparing to end the match the Sect master prepare to intervene as he seen that their going all out.

Sia was the first to strike while Luna wasn’t far behind causing both weapon to collide making ten feet creator around them. Seeing that both of them were done the referee looked at both of them.

“What am I suppose to do?” He thought confused as it been over hundred years since this last happen.

“Call it a tie,” the sect master voice sounded in his ears.

“It a tie,” The Referee said causing the crowd to grumble as they neither won or lost in their gambling.

-Over at the South Sea-

Standing in front of a giant shark that over thousand feet tall was a silver haired boy with his sword drawn with scales running around his body. The shark cultivation level is about to step into the origin realm while the boy was about to enter the Golden Core realm.

“Hurry up an finish Lucifer we still have other thing to do today,” Moon shouted from the sides.

“Very well, Goodbye shark,” Lucifer said swing his sword upward before turning around to leave. The Shark slowly formed a red line as his body slide apart as he been slice perfectly down the middle.
