"Next contender's Xu Jie and Xu Zheng come onto the stage" said Xu Feng. Xu Zheng came into the stage carrying a high Earth grade artifact that is made of a demon bulls horn known as the Bull Demon Horn Gloves, this is a high Earth grade ranking glove and has the element of earth. Xu Jie on the other hand chose to come onto the stage carrying a low Earth grade sword.

"Begin the battle" said Xu Feng. "This would've been a fair match since we were equal on strength but now that i have a higher grading weapon it's easier for me to win" said Xu Zheng.

"Haven't you learnt anything from the previous match, the winner isn't decided on who has the better grade weapon or who has a higher cultivation base. It's true that strength has a big factor in a battle but most important thing is your mastery of the weapon" said Xu Jie.

For Xu Jie it didn't matter what grade weapon the opponent had as long as the opponent was weaker than him. Xu Jie is originally at the 1st stage of Warrior Realm and has reached sword following the mind state. This allows him to attack a person with his sword using just his thought.

There are different state of sword intents and those are sword Qi, Sword Following The Mind, Sword Following The Heart, Man and Sword Unification, Killing Sword Intent, Heavenly Sword Intent and Domain of Sword Intent.

"Begin" said Xu Feng.

"Soaring Dragon Fist: Dragon Killing Punch!"

"Wow, another Black grade technique. The Xu family is strong even the younger generation uses Black grade technique to fight against each other."

Xu Jie easily keeps avoiding Xu Zheng's attacks. "Is running all you can do" said Xu Zheng. "It's time to end this I've had enough of you." said Xu Jie. "Water Sword Technique: Waves of Slash."

"What?! Is he trying to use a Blue grade technique to fight against Xu Zheng."

"Looks like the Xu family gave birth to a fool who can't comprehend a Black grade technique. "Hahaha. Is this your trump card, after everything you said this is your trump card. What a disgrace to the Xu family.

"I don't want to embarrass you in front of all these people give up before it's too late" said Xu Jie.

"You? Embarrass me? Hahahah, I'll show you my trump card!" Xu Zheng drops a drop of his blood onto the glove making it have the power of 2 demon bulls.

"Time to end this" both contenders said.

"Whoosh... Poof!!"

"What just happened" thought Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng didn't even have time to react and was wondering what cut him.

Right before Xu Zheng moved Xu Jie had used the first move of his technique called Poison Water Injection. This technique is easy to avoid but since Xu Zheng didn't care about blue and lower grade martial techniques he didn't know how to avoid them or know their properties.

"Right before you moved I used a technique of mine to poison you and used Waves of Slash to defeat you."

"As I told you before, the grade of your weapon is worthless if you don't have mastery over them. It's true higher grade technique are stronger but you also have to build a good foundation. Without a good foundation you won't be able to exert your full potential" said Xu Jie.

"As long as you have this kind of mindset you will never be able to achieve your goals. Train hard and challenge me next time" said Xu Jie

"This kid is talented, he is in the 7th stage of Core Condensing and can use Sword Following the Mind" said the patriarch and all the elders.
