Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Blood splattered on the rock platform as a group of participants got completely annihilated by their opponent group. No one could fathom the reason for such cruelty but it showed the true nature of the cultivation world to the onlookers.

Zhan Qingyue felt little worried after seeing such viciousness in the beginning of the competition. She threw a look towards the group from the Xuantian sect where Zhan Chen was standing.

"Can little Chen compete here? All the participants seem so powerful ", she thought to herself. Her worry was reflected on other women's faces also as they thought about Zhan Chen's safety.

Zhan Chen was busy talking with Sima Chunhua. So, he didn't notice his women's worry about him. Battle proceeded as usual and finally a group from the Xuantian sect stepped out to participate in the battle.

It was the group of ice cold beauty, Jia Lingyi. They were the strongest group among the three Xuantian sect groups. So, Zhan Chen had no doubt about the result of their battle.

"This beauty is already a Martial ascension realm expert at the tender age of twenty four. I can't underestimate the reserves of peak powers after seeing such a talented person in the younger generation of the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

The result was unsurprising as the group led by Jia Lingyi secured a comfortable win. Sima Chunhua bade farewell to Zhan Chen and led her group towards the stone platform.

"She should be alright in her first battle unless they found a strong group as their opponent", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

Sima Chunhua was only twenty three yet she had late Core condensation realm cultivation. Her talent for cultivation was admirable but it still fell short of Jia Lingyi who was clearly the most talented cultivator among the Xuantian sect participants.

Zhan Chen observed the battle of Sima Chunhua 's group with interest in his eyes. His eyes were particularly fixed on Sima Chunhua who was fighting fiercely with the opponent group leader.

"Combining fire element with a whip. Her footwork is particularly good but she need to polish her technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

The battle ended with the victory of Sima Chunhua's group but their win was not comfortable like Li Jingyi's group. Their opponent fought tooth and nail and two members of Sima Chunhua's group were injured as a result.

"I can't believe that I have to strain myself this much although it is my first battle", Li Chunhua spoke with frustration in her tone after sitting beside Zhan Chen.

"Your opponent also has considerable strength. Both of your cultivation realms are similar. So, it is admirable that you manage to push back your opponent and achieve victory", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Thank you, junior brother. My battle is already over. So, it is your turn.

When are you planning to participate in the battle?", she asked Zhan Chen.

"Let's wait a while. I have a specific target in my mind. We will go once I see them descending the hill", Zhan Chen spoke.

Sima Chunhua looked at Zhan Chen with surprise in her eyes after hearing his reply. "You are unbelievable, junior brother. Your group only have three members. Yet you are planning to target some other group!", she spoke with disbelief all over her face.

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

"Look, young master is going down the hill", Li Shu pointed towards the group of Zhan Chen.

Two other participants from the Xuantian sect were following behind Zhan Chen as he walked towards the stone platform.

He walked amidst the crowd and stepped on a certain stone platform. There was a group of cultivators already standing on the said battle platform.

A mocking look appeared on their faces after they saw a group of three standing opposite to them. They looked at the attire of two companions of the Zhan Chen and immediately recognise the identity of their opponents.

"Three fools from the Xuantian sect dare challenge our Heavenly sword sect! What a joke!", they mocked loudly.

The onlookers became stunned after seeing Zhan Chen 's group standing against a group from the Heavenly sword sect. Generally, powerful sects like the Heavenly sword sect, the Xuantian sect and the Frozen cloud sect avoide facing eachother in the initial rounds of the competition.

But the doing of Zhan Chen was clearly opposite which brought scorns from the participants of Heavenly sword sect. Ying Chao had a frown on his face as he looked at the situation developing on the stone platform.

An unnecessary confrontation with the Heavenly sword sect just because of one person's whim appeared stupidous to him.

"What is this brat even thinking? Bringing two person to confront a group of five from the Heavenly sword sect? This is foolishness at its best", he thought to himself. Other cultivators of the Xuantian sect also shook their heads as they waited for Zhan Chen to be humiliated by the Heavenly sword sect cultivators.

The judge brought forward his hand and shouted 'start'. The five cultivators of the Heavenly sword sect immediately pounced at Zhan Chen's group after the battle began.

All five cutivators of the Heavenly sword sect were sword cultivators. The leader of them pounced at Zhan Chen immediately just after the match began.

Zhan Chen removed Lu Mingxi's sword from his spatial ring and defended an attack from the Heavenly sword sect cultivator.

His opponent swung his sword once more after seeing his attack getting blocked. Zhan Chen swept his sword horizontally and stopped the attack from his opponent.

Two cultivators of the Heavenly sword sect didn't stand ideally anymore as they come to the aid of their fellow group members. One of them charged towards Zhan Chen using a sneaky movement technique.

A grin appeared on his face after he appeared near Zhan Chen. He stabbed his sword forward hoping to catch Zhan Chen off guard.

Zhan Chen back stepped two steps to neutralize the attack. A glint appeared on his face after he saw the predicament of his group members.

"Enough playing around", he thought to himself and his figure vanished. Then what happened was a blur for everyone as they could only see two figures flying back in the battlefield.

"Ah", a painful cry came out from a cultivator after his body landed on the battlefield. There was a stream of blood coming from his mouth as he looked at Zhan Chen with a fearful look on his face.

"Brother Bai, Brother Zhi", the leader of the Heavenly sword sect group cried out as he moved back to check his group members. The other two members of the Heavenly sword sect also pulled back from the battle and gathered around their injured members.

"Don't worry. They will be fine after few months of rest. Now it is your tu Zhan Chen spoke from a distance and used his movement technique. All three members of the Heavenly sword tightened their grips around their swords and looked vigilantly towards Zhan Chen's direction.

"Kacha!", A sound of bone breaking came out as a Heavenly sword sect member flew forward. Other two members also received two kicks from Zhan Chen and crashed onto the battlefield.

Three of the five had fainted straight away and two of them still had their eyes open. But they would be better left unconscious because of the look of fear on their faces.

The crowd stood stunned for a moment as the noise in the surrounding abruptly stopped. Everyone was looking at the stone platform where the five participants from the Heavenly sword sect were lying.

"What happened just now?", the crowd erupted into noise after the abrupt silence in the atmosphere. There was shock and disbelief on their faces as they looked at Zhan Chen's direction.

"What a relief! Little Chen is so strong now", Zhan Qingyue kept her hand on her chest and sighed in relief. There was a look of disbelief on the faces of the Xuantian sect cultivators as they looked towards Zhan Chen.

"This brat is a monster. His attacks are so swift that even I have struggled to keep up with him", Ying Chao murmured to himself.

The judge announced the result and Zhan Chen left the stone platform along with his two companions. There was a look of admiration on both of their faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.

Earlier, they didn't have any intention to confront the group from the Heavenly sword sect. But an irrefutable voice appeared in their mind and both of them didn't have any choice other than giving in.

The coercion lasted untill they stepped on the stone platform. By the time, they had regained their free will, it was too late to step out from the stone platform.

Heavenly sword sect cultivators pounced at them and they immediately fell into disadvantage. When they were lamenting their fate, they saw the vague image of Zhan Chen appearing near them.

After that, the battle ended very swiftly and they found all the five members from the Heavenly sword sect lying on the ground. Zhan Chen was smiling towards them as if he had no role in what happened to the five participants from the Heavenly sword sect.
