Dragon God Warrior

It was the next day after the preliminaries and Long Suanni was pissed about Long Lao Er's yesterday's actions.

That bastard took advantage of me yesterday, how did he dare, Long Suanni was thinking as she kept a cold demeanor towards Long Lao Er.

Everyone was back in the Dragon Stadium venue, excited for the next rounds.

"For the next round, we'll form brackets, where the winner of each battle will pass to the next round, until 2 people are left.

Whomever wins in the finals will become the champion."

Said the judge and Junior Elder, Long Yu Yan.

"Now contestants, please form a line and take a number so you can be added to the brackets."

And so the participants formed a line and started getting numbers for around 20 minutes until everyone got their number.

"What number did you get Suanni?" Asked Long Lao Er.

"Hmp!"

Long Suanni didn't answered as her mad expression showed Long Lao Er that she was still angry at him.

"Common, how much long are you going to be mad at me? I already apologized to you. I promise I won't do it again."

Long Suanni turned her back to the apologetic Long Lao Er, but before she went away she said.

"One."

"I got number thirty two, so I guess I'll see you at the finals Suanni."

Long Ming, who was the judge for all the first round combats went into the stage and said.

"Now participant one and two get into the stage."

Long Suanni and her opponent Long Xin went into the stage. Long Xin was a cultivator in the eight level of the Qi Condensation Realm, while Long Suanni was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. So everyone expected for her to win.

"I am honored to battle her highness, please instruct this humble servant of yours." Said Long Xin.

Long Ming declare the battle initiated, so Long Xin circulated his Qi essence and jumped towards Long Suanni and threw a punch at her. But just when Long Xin tought he had her, his punch went through her as her figure vanished.

Long Xin wasn't nervous, he knew that she was stronger than him and probably faster. As long as he could find her and use his art on her, he was confident that he could beat Long Suanni.

Long Xin used his spirit sense to look for Long Suanni.

"Weird, I sense she's here, but I cannot accurately pinpoint her location" Thought Long Xin.

And just before he could retract his fist a smooth jade like hand grabbed the wrist from his punching arm and using little Qi essence in her arm, Long Suanni threw Long Xin out of the platform.

This victory shocked everyone. The audience expected her to win, but no one expected her to win in one movement and what's more she didn't even attack, she just threw her opponent away.

"Winner, Long Suanni!" Declared Long Ming. And like that the first round continued.

"Number nine and ten on to the platform."

Long Qiong and Long Che went to the platform.

"Look it's Long Qiong, I heard he's on the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. His opponent doesn't stand a chance, he's only at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm." Said a person from the public.

"You won't earn too much if you beat on Long Qiong's victory, what people are betting is on the number of moves and the moves that Long Qiong will execute." Said another person in the public.

Long Ming once again declared the battle initiated.

A killing intent was liberated from Long Qiong before Long Che could even start circulating his Qi essence.

Long Che suddenly felt an incredible fear towards his opponent, he tried to circulate his Qi essence but he discovered that his circulation went awry so he couldn't properly attack or defend. Seen that he had no chance, Long Che bow towards Long Qiong and surrender.

"Oh, man I lost. How come I didn't realize that we could bet for zero movements!" Said many people from the audience. Most of the people had bet on Long Qiong winning in one movement, but no one had expected that his opponent would surrender without even fighting.

Fights continue.

"Participants seventeen and eighteen to the platform."

Long ZhangLang who was Long Qiong's little brother, and was on the eight level of the Qi Condensation Realm stepped, like wise Long Xiao who was at the same level also stepped in.

"Fight!" Said Long Ming. Like his brother; Long ZhangLang unleashed his killing intent. Unfortunately for him, since his opponent was at the same level, Long Xiao didn't got paralyzed.

Long Xiao gathered his Qi essence in his right fist and hit Long ZhangLang face, sending him far away from his original position.

"You're courting death!!" Responded back Long ZhangLang while spitting blood to the floor. So Long ZhangLang circulated his Qi essence in his fists, and sucker punch Long Xiao.

Unlike his opponent who didn't attacked him while being down, Long ZhangLang used his Dragon Claw art on his opponent who was down to beat him out.

Although technically it wasn't forbidden to attack an opponent who is down, everyone booed at Long ZhangLang.

Like that the battles continued and now it was time for the last battle of the first round.

"Brother Ren, be sure to cripple him, that bastard needs to know that he cannot take this King woman without suffering for the consequences."

Said Long Qiong to Long Lao Er's next opponent.

"Don't worry boss, this Dragon is going to teach that wannabe hero a lesson." Answered back Long Ren as he went to the arena.

Both opponents were face to face. Long Lao Er vs Long Ren.

"Hey bastard, it's time that I show you that whomever mess up with brother's Qiong woman is courting death!"

Long Lao Er looked at his opponent and with a smile on his face answered back.

"You're just Qiong's trash, just because we're in the same level don't think I cannot beat you up in one move."

"Bastard you are courting death! Fine with me, but you should know that I have the perfect defence. With my Metal Dragon Armor art, no art can hurt me! If you break my art using your favorite art, I'll surrender."

"Bring it on!"

Loudly said Long Lao Er.

" Fight!!" Once Long Ming declared the battle started, both opponents circulated their Qi essence.

"Dragon Metal Armor art!"

Pow!! Long Lao Er punched, Long Ren in the solar plexus just before Long Ren's art had fully manifested in his body.

"Pugh!!, You cheating bastard. You hit me before my art was fully manifested."

Responded an out of breath Long Ren as he swiftly passed out.

"In a battle, striking your opponent weakness is basic for winning."

Responded Long Lao Er to his unconscious opponent.

"Winner, Long Lao Er!!"

Long Ming, declared Long Lao Er as the winner of the last battle for the first round.

Every person in the public cheered after Long Lao Er's victory. Much to Long Qiong and ZhangLang's anger, all the audience was excited that their hero had won.

Long Lao Er went towards Long Suanni and try to apologise once more. To his surprise she accepted, although she still didn't allowed him any skin ship with her.
