24 Chapter 24
The first day of the real competition was fierce and Tommy actually needed to use his weapon in the second and third round of his fights. Although, he was still not paired up to go against a cultivator, each opponent of his were as strong as he was both in cultivation and in physical strength.
It was almost as if the governor had a change in heart when setting up the fights and rounds for the second day because the crowd was also confused on how Tommy was struggling against his opponents today compared to the day before.
Going from the competitor who was able to take down all of his opponents with a single strike, to being forced to use his weapon, the spectators felt a sense of excitement. "Did you see that? That Tommy kid drew his weapon before the fight even began!"
It was now the fourth and final fight of the day for Tommy and his opponent was a female who had a mysterious aura around her.
She wore a hooded wardrobe that was dark blue and had white clouds all around it. She also wore a mask that covered her entire face, preventing those under the Master rank of cultivation from seeing her true face.
Being cautious due to his opponent hiding their true strength, Tommy withdrew his weapon as usual while his opponent did not withdraw hers. What made Tommy worried, was that this was the first competitor in the competition that he was unable to properly gauge.
The referee quickly started the match and both individuals looked towards each other for several breaths of time before Tommy actually made the first move. Sprinting towards his opponent, Tommy raised his sword and slashed it down directly towards the female's head.
As if time itself stopped, the female actually let out an eerie laugh as she grabbed Tommy's sword in the next moment before simply touching his shoulder with one of her fingers. The audience was puzzled, but the next moment, they were horrified.
The simple poking motion the female used on Tommy blew him towards the other side of the ring and he started to puke out a mouthful of blood as it was clear his shoulder was completely shattered!
All of the cultivators in the VIP area and the hidden experts in the crowd stood up before unleashing their power. No one in this moment understood what was happening, but the eerie laugh from the female contestant did not stop as she took off her wardrobe and mask.
"I was wondering when you would notice that we made an appearance here." the female said as all of the Practitioner rank cultivators surrounded her in what could only be described as instantly with their weapons drawn.
"Careful!" the governor warned the thirteen experts who joined him in cornering this mysterious contestant as fifteen cloaked mysterious experts made their appearance in this moment. No one in the crowd understood what was currently happening, but one by one, they ran out of the stadium.
