The audience cheered for Mazir and the B Group.Some shouted and yelled.But Mazir didn’t feel anything.He had only used 60-70% of his power at that fight.He also hadn’t used his art “Sword Transformation” or “Sword Mode” at all.

Then the elder said,”Before the matches begin,two months of rest will be given to the left candidates who number to around 32.”

In the fight,some had regained consciousness thus still fought.The ones who didn’t regain consciousness were disqualified from advancing any further in the Royal Tournament of the Earth Kingdom.

Mazir smiled and swiftly left the Arena.But just then the Rune Master who had seen his Runes appeared before him and said,”Boy,do you want to become my disciple?”

Mazir cupped his fist and acted like he was surprised.He quickly said,”Senior,I am sorry but I already have a master.”

Hearing this the Rune Master quickly replied,”Don’t you know that you can have ten masters?”

That was true, a master can have an infinite number of disciples and are divided in titles:Main Disciple,Chef Disciple,True Disciple,Private Disciple,Disciple and Last Disciple.But at the same time disciples can also have ten masters:First Master,Second Master etc…

But without the permission of the first master you can’t have a third or fourth master as it hurts his reputation and may result in the master killing the weak and coward disciple who did that act of having three or four masters.

“Yes I know but my master is a strange one.Even If I ask him to take a master he will not allow me unless I beg him in four.But that is something I will never do,never!”

Mazir said as he continued his act.They continued talking for hours and hours until the Rune Master gave up.He knew that even if he continued for a year he wouldn’t give up no matter what.Knowing that it was a waste of time talking with him anymore he walked away sighing about the loss of talent.

Mazir finally sighed,” I barely escaped being his disciple.”

He quickly made his way home and entered the Locket.Kongxu was there calmly drinking a strange green tea together with Lang who was drinking the milk of a third grade beast.Mazir ignored them and started cultivating cross-legged in the black ground.

He spread his sense outside of the Locket.He surrounded his house with his sense and saw ten assassins.Five were Elemental Spiritual Cultivators of the early layer,four of the Half step Elemental Cultivator and one of the middle layer.

“Just as I expected,assassins.”

Mazir said .He quickly left the locket and sat in a chair.He supported his head with his other hand and said,”Are you possibly looking for me ?”

The assassins looked back and saw him,they were truly shocked.They had scaned the area with their Awareness and had found nobody.But to make sure they entered the house.Never had they thought they would almost get a heart attack .

Awareness was an ability or skill you got after you entered the Elemental Spiritual Realm.Normally only Elemental Spiritual Peak Realm Cultivator can spread their awareness to a hundred meters,Elemental Master of the early layer can spread their awareness to a thousand meters.

Fortunately for the assassins,before Mazir made a move their leader had already made a       move.He quickly threw several kunai(undefined) towards him.Mazir swiftly evaded each kunai and threw a kitchen knife towards the assassin.The Assassin barely evaded but the simple physical strength used to throw the knife cut a bit of his face.Mazir sneered,”I barely cut him.”

He waved his hand and twenty kitchen knives rose and shot towards the assassins.If they were normal kitchen knives they would easily destroy them,but they weren’t.They were clad in void and no matter what they used they couldn’t destroy it .

“Who the hell is he?”

One of the assassins thought.They only knew that their target was a youth not even 15 years old and was only an Elemental Core Realm Cultivator of the middle layer(Illusion).Even in their wildest dreams,never had they thought they may die here!

The Half Step Elemental Spiritual Cultivators who attacked Mazir were immediately killed and even one of the Early Elemental Spiritual Cultivators was killed.That showed how much power he put in these kitchen knives he randomly found in his house.

But the Elemental Spiritual middle layer assassin who was their boss didn’t retreat or even sweat.He quickly made some hand signals and muttered.

“Illusion World!”

Suddenly they were transported to another place.It was white and you could clearly see the assassin leader.Mazir unleashed his killing intent,slightly making the assassin leader stop moving.He used that moment to quickly wound him.He produced a White Sword and shot towards the assassin leader,stabbing him in the chest.

And he died…

Or to be exact his clone died.Mazir looked back and saw that the assassin leader was already five meters away from his and coming closer with a blue sword or katana in his right hand and another in his left hand .

He ran closer and closer to him before finally thrusting the swords clad in flames towards him.Mazir easily evaded them.But the flames had burned him a little bit.He thrust the White Sword forward injuring the assassin leader a bit.

Both of them were sweating and sometimes vomiting blood,but none was fighting with their full power.Especially Mazir who was trying to make the assassin leader use his true power first.He was only using 50-60% of his powers.

The assassin leader created a few hundred of clones and made them attack Mazir,while he chanted.Mazir easily killed a few clones in each hit and sometimes thirty in a single hit if he was lucky.

‘When will he stop chanting?’

That was what he thought at the assassin leader chanting.Usually one chanted for at most thirty seconds to a minute but the assassin leader had already been chanting since five minutes.That either means it is a huge attack or he was just making him stress.

Then finally,he stopped chanting.Flames appeared in circles before him.Each bigger than the first.The assassin leader’s face paled and coughed blood and sweated heavily.His breath became heavier and fell in one knee.He flicked his fingers and the flames fused to create a huge amount of flames which shot towards Mazir.

He clad the white sword in void turning it black.Taking a huge breath,he thrust the sword towards the immense amount of flames made from the assassin leader and muttered.

“Void Sword - Void Dragon Shocks the World!”

A huge void dragon was materialized before Mazir.It looked ancient,powerful and beautiful.He flicked his fingers and the huge Void Dragon shot towards the immense amount of flames.The two attacks clashed but in less than two breaths the Void Dragon cut through the flames and cut the Assassin leader,almost killing him.

The Assassin Leader produced four pills and swallowed them almost immediately.His face gradually became more normal but it was still slightly pale and wet from sweat.He smiled and wanted to say something but stopped when he just opened his dark mouth.

Two huge rocks around 100m tall and wide appeared around Mazir and fastly came closer to him.Trying to crush him.The rocks finally closed the distance and he no longer could be seen.The assassin leader gave a sigh in relief,but the next moment the two rock’s exploded in smaller fragments and revealed Mazir.

‘Impossible…’

The Assassin Leader though as he moved behind.He flicked his fingers and they were immediately teleported to Mazir’s home.
