Year 1035 of the Zhang Dynasty - Commercial section of Heavenly Phoenix City - Northeast stadium

[They are just children...] Maria

...after the first fight, another seven followed ending the first elimination stage. I appraised everyone of them.

[One child died]

(And they still clap their hands) Linjian

[...]

(We already see how they fight so lets get out until the adults enters the arena)

They didn't do anything remarkable, everyone was bronze rank and mostly used punching or kicking to injure the opponent while using some SP to maintain their auras.

[...lets do that]

......

...

It was already midday when...

“We continue this glorious day with the adults, who will be the shameless one to take this spiritual card as prize?“ announcer

[Spiritual card?]

(They worth 1000 spirit coins, this is my first time seeing one)

“The first fight of this segment, will the fight between...“ announcer

...After that we saw all the eight fights of the first elimination stage.

(They are all silver rank and everyone was still using punching or kicking)

[They are saving their strength, cultivators aren't that simple]

On the second elimination stage they started fighting seriously.

“Gyaaaaah!“

One of the cultivator body started changing into a humanoid tiger.

[Spirit creature form, there are cultivation novels about that]

(Spirit creature form?)

[They somehow keep a spiritual creature inside of them and use it to fight or cultivate]

After the transformation, his parameters increased tremendously and he won the battle.

“This is the last fight of this segment, Mo Xuanyu versus Wang Li“

Mo Xuanyu is the tiger man and Wang Li defeated everyone without any transformation.

[The winner of this fight will be Wang Li]

(Why?)

[You will see it]

...

It ended as Maria said it would, in the beginning of the fight both transformed but only one remained in that form. The Wang Li spirit creature form looked like a humanoid lizard. In that form, he could also spit fire from his mouth using SP.

[They only transform for a limited time, that was the reason nobody transformed in the first elimination]

(If they transformed, then they wouldn't be at full strength to fight the finals)

The silver rank parameters, the transformation time limit and the transformation skills this information may be useful in the future.

The sun was already setting and the light went off with it.

“Now is the time everyone was waiting!“

The stadium went silent.

“The pride of Heavenly Phoenix City, the gold rank cultivators are here!“

The audience clapped loudly in appreciation as four golden light appeared in the stadium illuminating it.

(When did they get there?!)

“I am Wang Hyomung“

Said a man dressed in green clothing.

“I am Mo Hua“

Said a man dressed in blue clothing.

“I am Wei Wu“

Said a man dressed in brown clothing.

“I am Joo Mu“

Said a man dressed in white clothing.

“In representation of our families we will show our strength“

The four of them speak at the same time.

“Clear your eyes for the peerless fights that you will be telling your descendants“ announcer

Wang Hyomung and Mo Hua stayed in the arena while the other two disappeared from it.

“Commence!“

Said the announcer from outside the arena.

------------------------

I lie down on a bed at the inn.

(I could barely appraise them)

[They were really fast and the constant explosions didn't help either]

(They started transformed in the three fights and stayed transformed until the end)

[While silver ranked cultivator use SP to maintain the transformation, the gold ranked didn't need to do it]

(Maybe they use so little SP that it doesn't shows until it happens more time, like when I use the Earth reinforce under my clothes)

[They seem to have more time of transformation or maybe they can stay like that endless]

(Either way, when facing a gold rank I should expect a fight with a Spirit creature form)

[In your current level you don't stand a chance]

(Just for now, anyways lets sleep)

[Good night Linjian]

(Good night Maria)

...

The next day after my daily muscle training, I start organizing the cultivators data with Maria.

[We didn't appraise any jade or immortal rank, but they are definitely over level 60]

Right now, my strength is equivalent to a bronze rank.

[We already have the skills and the enemy intel, now we need to train your mind experience]

(Any suggestion?)

[How about hunting spiritual creatures]

(Are you sure? if I find something stronger than a silver rank...)

[You have Life Detection, with it you can run away in time]

(Alright, I trust you Maria)

[Awww, you are going to make me blush]

She was having fun.

(Well, if I don't trust in my soulmate who will I trust?)

[Very truth, lets get leveling up]

I leave the inn and go to the playing ground of bronze cultivators, The Northern Forest.
