The Great Heroes tournoment 2
First round ended. From 24 students, 12 passed into the second round.
"That was truly amazing!" Teacher Xue was full of excitement.
"With the first round over, the second one is right on the way!" Ye Mingzhu announced the start of the second round.
Guards strategically distributed students in their Battle Grounds. First round was completely random, while the second round was set so that 6 of the strongest students would not face each other, ensuring that the last 2 rounds would have only students that performed extremely well in the first round.
In the end there were two groups, "Weak" and "Strong". Students from the weak group would face students from the strong group in one on one battle, ensuring that the strong group would end on top.
"Hey, chief. What do we do about those last two students?" One of the guards didn't know where to put the last two students.
Both of them didn't show a lot of their abilities, so both of them could end up on a weaker side, facing a stronger opponent.
But there wasn't any space in both of the groups. You can only place one of those students in the weak group and one of those students in the strong group.
"Make them face each other. It doesn't really matter at this point."
The Guards were talking about Renjie and a secretive student with long hair covering his eyes.
"Let's start the second round!" Teacher Xue gave a green light.
Students started their battles. Unsurprisingly the second round felt easier than the first round. At least for the stronger group.
Welp for everyone besides Renjie, who still couldn't use his Qi. Renjie was standing in front of the student with black long hair.
His hair was covering his bright red eyes. That boy was wearing black kimono with a red dragon symbol on his back.
*Dragons fireplace…* Dark boy raised his hand, pointing at Renjie. His right eye started glowing. That boy activated Dragons fireplace skill, allowing the user to use Dragon Qi.
Dragon Qi came with a price, it was a conditional Qi that takes user health and life span in exchange for immersive power.
Renjie was suddenly circled with fire around him. Fire wasn't strong, nor high. It was enough so that Renjie couldn't jump over it.
"Let's not waste our time. I don't want to hurt you, nor do I want to fight weaker than me, especially not girls." Dragon user said with an emotionless expression on his face. "All you have to do is step outside of the arena and it will be all over. No damage, no pain, no death…"
/To think that he was a dragon user…/ Renjie thought for a second looking at the fire circle around him.
It was placed so that the center of the fire circle was outside of the arena. Forcing Renjie outside as the flames were closing on him.
"Normal fire burns at the temperature of 800 degrees celsius. That kind of fire has a red color. As you can see this isn't a normal fire. This one is much more stronger, much more hotter." Dragon user started.
He was right. His flames were much hotter, double the normal fire temperature.
"My flames are white, hot enough to burn your skin on slight touch. After all, you shouldn't even be here. A girl who can't even use Internal Energy. If I were you I would just-"
KICK!
Renjie jumped through his flames kicking the Dragon user in his stomach.
Dragon user was caught off guard. No one before was crazy enough to even come close to his fire, let alone jump through it.
Of course Renjie was hurt from all of that flames. His skin was darkish and his clothes were really damaged. Bareilly hiding Renjie's identity.
Of course Renjie didn't wait for the Dragon user to get up. Renjie grabbed him on his collar and started dragging him outside of the arena.
*Dragons fire ball!* Dragon user immediately attacked Renjie, sending him back a few meters. /Shit, I don't want to spend too much of my life span on a girl who can't even use Qi!/ "I'll end this right now."
*FIRE METEORITE!* Dragon user used one of his strongest skills. A skill that would destroy the whole arena, a skill that would definitely defeat Renjie.
/That- That skill would destroy everything/ Renjie's eyes widened on the sight of a meteorite coming towards him.
Renjie couldn't avoid it, the arena was too small. So instead he faced it head on.
CRASH!
Renjie just punched the meteor, breaking it into a million pieces. Even though he can't use his Qi, Renjie's body was still strong. Renjie was a young Demon Lord after all.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Dragon user was in disbelief. He never saw anything like this before.
*FIRE-* The Dragon user tried activating another skill, but Renjie was a little faster than he was.
"...let's end this now, you might hurt someone else…" Renjie softly said while punching the Dragon user in his abdomen. Sending him flying outside of the arena.
Crowd cheered for Renjie. It was clear that most of the viewers watched Renjies fight. After all, they were amazed with an immersive power Renjies had.
/H-How? How can a small girl be this strong, even without using any Qi?/ Dragon user was lying on the ground in disbelief.
"Ground NO. 6 winner YU Renjie!" Guard said while signalizing Renje to exit his battle ground.
Renjie was standing in the center of the arena. As he was exiting the arena he noticed that his damaged clothes were revealing a little bit too much of his skin.
Realizing that he froze in embarrassment. His clothes were barely covering his most important body part. A little wind could completely destroy his cover.
"Don't worry, I am here!" It was no one other than Li Dongfang. Dressed as a… woman…
He was wearing a long red skirt, covering his knees, a normal white kimono with pinkish details. Li didn't bother wearing fake boobs, he was a muscular man with a well developed chest, which could be mistaken as boobs.
Li had long wavy hair, pinkish color. With a ton of makeup on his face.
Even though he was muscular, it wasn't a weird thing for womens to be muscular in that region. As they say different folks, different strokes.
Li quickly made a temporarily changing closet using white bed sheets, hiding Renjie in the process.
"Here, you can wear this, young lady." Li said as he gave Renjies his new clothes.
Renjie quickly changed into his new clothes.
His new clothes definitely excited the crowd watching the tournament. Everyone was amazed with Renjies cuteness.
"Will this be fine?" Renjie blushed while confronting his uncle.
"It's perfect!" Li was amazed with the cuteness of his dress he made for Renjie.
Renjie wore a pinkish dress. He had a black long gloves that left his palms open. Dress was held by chains tied on his waist. Renjie wore long white socks with a pinkish scorpion symbol on his right sock. White socks covered most of his legs, stopping right below his dress. Leaving a bit of his legs naked.
Renjie was last to finish his fight. Everyone else finished much quicker because of the power difference.
"AND THE SECOND ROUND IS OVER!" Teacher Xue was full of excitement.
"That's right Teacher Xue, though it seems that we might have problems with the Ground NO. 5." Ye Mingzhu continued. "It seems that both of the participants from ground 5 got hurt from that meteorite from ground 6. I wonder what should we do about them"
Guard was shaking his head, signalizing that both of the students were unable to continue fighting.
"Hmm that would be a problem. Should we just let one of the students to enter finals?" Ye Mingzhu asked her Teacher.
"No that would be too boring, how about we make this a little bit interesting." Teacher Xue started. "How about you fight against one of the students. Ye Mingzhu. If you win, that student would be disqualified, but if you lose, that student would be placed in finals. What do you think about it, Ye Mingzhu?"
"I don't know, Teacher Xue. Doesn't really seem fair to me. They are all from Accelerated class and I am from Advanced class. Rules disallows me to participate in the tournament." Yu Mingzhu said with a sad look on her face.
"Don't worry Ye Mingzhu, there are no rules when it comes to fate!" President appeared behind them. "I, the president of this school, Siyuan, is allowing Ye Mingzhu to enter the tournament under one condition. Even if Ye Mingzhu wins, she won't be able to continue with the tournament."
/Talk about the timing.../ Teacher Xue thought while looking at his favorite student.
"That seems fair, but who am I going to fight against?" Ye Mingzhu asked Teacher Xue.
"Who other than our little star, Yu Renjie! Of course, if you fail to win against Ye Mingzhu, you won't be able to exit the special class." Teacher Xue said with a grin on his face.
While hearing that, the crowd started cheering. They were happy to see two cutest students fight against each other.
