393 THE MARTIAL ARTS COMPETITION-The attack was so powerful that it not only penetrated through the person’s defence but also sent him out, flying. The people who saw this phenomenon were shocked into speechlessness. The judges almost jumped out of their seats. One of the top contenders to win the round was eliminated with one move.

The avatar saw the commotion and knew that this move of his caused a huge commotion within the crowd. Now that people have an understanding of his strength, it would be foolish to hide it anymore.

He decided to showcase his strengths and decided to take the initiative to attack. Any cultivator in his way was either thrown out of bounds or beaten until eliminated or blasted out. No one stood a chance against someone like the avatar who had reached the very peak of King level.

Out of the initial 100, only 30 remained on stage. More than 50 have been eliminated by the avatar. He decided to stop and let others take the initiative to attack him. But the scare which he had given the participants prevented them from acting any further.

The avatar sat down in hope of someone trying to attack him, but no one reacted. The avatars were confused about the whole situation.

“That guy is sitting down out of the exhaustion from his previous battle. Attack him now.” One of the elders from those sects screamed.

The participants broke out of their trance and immediately rushed towards the avatar.

” Now this is the fight I was waiting for.” The avatar spoke as he jumped up and began to execute the Netherworld Four-season movement arts along with an improvised version of his thunder fist, but with nether energy.

The attack landed directly on the bodies of the participants and the sounds of bones breaking were heard one after the other. The judges couldn’t even describe what was going on. A single person was completely dominating the entire stage.

.....

Sometime later-

Only five people remained on the stage, and the avatar stopped abusing people. He just left those who didn’t take the initiative to attack him.

“Who is that guy? He is unstoppable. We need to find out his true identity. Bring me all the identity plates.” The host who belonged to the Hun manor. Other representatives of the forces around the city were also doing the same thing.

None of them was able to find his identity except for an alias that he used to enlist into the competition.

“We need to do a background check on this guy.” A conspiracy was slowly brewing as almost every group decided to end a man to spy on the guy after the competition was over.

The five contestants were asked to move down the stage, while the other five were chosen among those who had been eliminated by the avatar. Ten people passed on to the next rou8nd.

The second and third matches slowly ended with 20 people being selected for the next round. The fourth round came and another avatar stepped up. This time, Long tao decided to use a combination of sword art he learned from the Hell-Forging Sutra and the sword art of Black-Dragon Emperor using Nether-Energy.

The fight started and Long Tao decided that the avatar should act like a normal genius rather than trying to astonish the crowd. If three black horses appeared at the same time, everyone would begin suspecting and the attention drawn to them would be too large.

The avatar chose an opponent near to him and began battling with him. rather than using his meridians and acupoints, the avatar tried to fight with energy only. The fight was not as easy as the one before, but the battle experience gained was quite huge.

Long Tao gained a lot of information about his lacunae in energy usage as he had been relying on body cultivation for such a long time. The combination of body cultivation, soul energy and Qi was extremely powerful, but the individual aspects had too many flaws in them.

During his clashes with another opponent, the avatar was even pushed back. Long tao was shocked to see the result. Every single one of his avatars had practised world energy, and if he used nether energy in combination with it, winning was simple. But nether Energy itself was quite difficult to regulate and Long Tao decided to use this competition as a learning platform for energy control.

Only by doing so would he be able to leave an avatar in this world for training. The fight drew on and the avatar managed to beat four people after a prolonged fight. The gains from this might seem small from a strength perspective, but Long Tao felt satisfied.

His energy usage efficiency had increased, and they could feel a slight increase in the quantity of nether energy the avatar’s body could hold.

” This is a surprise. I need to do the same training in the Qi continent too. What would happen if somehow my body is restricted, I would only have my energy to rely on, and my control sucks.

“I am happy that you finally managed to recognize your defects.” The Keeper said.

“Did you know about this?” Long tao asked.

” Of course I did. Anyone sane could have seen this situation rising after experiencing the way you train and fight. Your personality is hardworking and you want perfection in all areas before proceeding to the next. While you are trying to gain more and more power of a different kind, you chose to ignore the quality and control over the power you already possess.”

“It adds to your excessively controlled-freak personality and your heavy reliance on the combination of powers you possess to make sure that your characteristics would remain underdeveloped. These people on the other hand have a narrow spectrum of choices and hence have to perfect what they possess to progress.”

“Why didn’t you say something?” Long Tao asked.

‘i already told you. My task is to only guide you when you ask for guidance. I am not allowed to directly interfere with your fate. ‘ The keeper replied.

“What should I do to rectify this situation?” Long tao asked.

“Well, you already know the answer. remember how you used to train before you gained the scriptures and body refining methods.” Long Tao understood what the Keeper wanted to say. he used to practice the same art using the same kind of energy for months and months until perfection was reached.

He used to perform the bone forging process for every stage he advanced, but he neglected a lot of those. It was time for him to go back and practice the way he used to until his control was regained back.

“I guess we know what I am going to do for my training schedule before the Royal Road.” Long Tao decided to utilize the artefact to train until the last day arrives. An unknown amount of danger awaited him within the Royal Road, not to mention cultivators whose realm would be way above his.

......

All rounds were completed and all three avatars were present within the top 120 participants who were going to take part in the next round.

“For the next round, we have decided to carry out a one on one fight. the loser of the fight would be eliminated. Only the top 60 will be proceeding to the next round.”

” The third round will proceed similarly and so will be the fourth round until 15 participants remain. Those 15 participants will take part in the final round to decide the top three. The competition is not only a great way to win rewards, but also garner the attention of top powers present. If lucky, you might be scouted by these powers to enter the organization.”

The crowd present cheered up and so did the participant. many of them were independent cultivators who dreamed of being scouted by a powerful force.

The avatar also had the same motive. After gathering all the information they can, the avatar managed to find the top organizations. Although the Hun manor controlled the Nether Spring, they weren’t the strongest organization in the area. It was the Nether-saint hall that had the strongest cultivators and also the strongest genius who took part in the tournament.

Long Tao aimed at getting recruited by them and what better way to do that than defeating their strongest representative.

The round began and the avatar had to face independent cultivators. They managed to beat them easily, especially the one who was already within the books of the top powers as a dark horse.

Other geniuses performed well. some took just one strike to finish their match and Long Tao knew that the fight wouldn’t be as easy as he initially assumed. He had to use his meridians from the second round as the contestants facing him were powerful independent cultivators or members of sects.

Soon enough only;y 30 people remained. Almost three-quarters of those present were from sects, while the rest were independent cultivators.

The lots were drawn and each one of the avatar’s opponents was from a powerful sect.
