Kewang Yun was sitting in a tea house, slowly drinking an exquisite tea that was his favourite. It had been 4 months since the Kewang Clan tournament, and since then he had greatly improved. Being responsible for the death of his two brothers had undone massive knots in his heart and allowed his cultivation to soar like a dragon among men. Currently, he had already reached the late Body Construction Realm, which astonished everyone in the Clan. Most of the people thought it was to get vengeance against the girl Kewang Feng, but she didn't bother him at all, and was insignificant!

Unknowingly Kewang Yun had been driven further and further into the depths of his depravity due to Asura Technique. In fact, that was why he was here today.

Over the past 4 months, much to the dismay of the Clan, Kewang Yun had been courting a servant girl called Fei Ye. She had been one of the people to help him recover after he was injured by that traitor Kewang Tian.

Although it had been a speedy recovery, he still stayed in touch with her, and he even forced himself to love her! Obsessed in the girl's little world, she replied in kind, and became madly in love with him, giving her Vital Yin energy to him. This had increased the rate at which he cultivated immensely.

Sigh.

Kewang Yun looked across the floor, at Fei Ye's corpse. He couldn't help but sigh, [This is the closest I will ever come to love. Good, she was a nice girl, but made my heart weak, in destroying her I have destroyed myself. With the blade that ran through her heart, I solidified my willpower to become indomitable.] A gentle tear ran down from his left eye.

He had rented this tea room, for them to enjoy themselves one last time. She had never been to a teahouse before, she was excited, adorably so. They had joked and laughed, and even kissed while they were here, it was truly the time of her life.

When he did the deed, he asked her to turn around.. [I couldn't bear to see her eyes when the life went out from them. They were kind and caring, she would have made a good mother. She had all the love in the world to give.. and I snuffed it out like she was nothing.]

Kewang Yun gently put his head down on the table, forcing himself not to whimper.

Ren Clan was packed today. It was time for the Lotus City Tournament, where all the strongest youths would gather and fight for the title of the city's number one youth!

In the crowd outside there was a multitude of whispering.

"So, who do you think will win today?"

"Of course, it's going to be young master Ren Zou, he has perfectly comprehended the lesser lightening state."

"What about Ren Yi? She's managed to get to the fifth stage of the Lotus Codex!"

"The fifth stage! When did that happen?"

"I heard she broke through just last night!"

As the whispering continued, a servant of the Kewang Clan arrived. "Harrumph! You think those trash can win against young master Kewang Yun or Miss Feng?! I would have you know Kewang Yun has already broke through to the body construction stage, over four months ago!"

Gasps were heard all around.

"Kewang Yun is at the body construction realm?! Wow, he really is worthy of having a level a level 11 Martial Spirit!"

***

Outside the main arena, an entourage led by the Kewang Patriarch had just arrived. He stood tall and proud, accompanying him was the Grand Elder, and two other elders. One was Kewang Jin's father and Kewang Hun's father!

Kewang Hun was has been extremely happy recently, it is because his wife had fallen pregnant, he was expecting a second son, and was over the moon about it. His wife Fen Rushi held a respected position in the Clan, she was a healer.

In fact, she had been the one to nurse Kewang Jin back to health, after he apologised to her for his comments, after all those with Pure Yang Martial Spirits are known to be boisterous.

She had told her husband that after spending time with Kewang Jin, he wasn't that bad, he was talented and had a bright future ahead of him, so it was best to let the grudge go.

Kewang Hun's father couldn't but give a harrumph, Kewang Jin may be talented, but he was either mortally injured by Kewang Feng or was just a drama queen, as the amount of time Fen Rushi spends there it just too long!

Kewang Jin, wasn't there today though, he was still recovering with the help of Fen Rushi, apparently, the little ice phoenix's attacks shouldn't be taken too lightly!

That was why Kewang Feng hasn't been executed by the Clan - her raw power! Also, the fact that her mother was from the Ren Clan didn't hurt!

This was a great day for the Kewang Clan. Today they were coming forth, announcing that a once in a thousand-year genius has been born in their Clan and that one day, he would be able to take over Lotus City.

Walking in, Kewang Yun didn't feel the same though. He still felt guilty for his actions, the only thing keeping him sane was that he didn't have a choice. Kewang Yun would live his life following Asura's Way.

There were only eight people who were going to compete in this competition, two from each Clan. The two young masters from the Nang and Zhou Clans. In his eyes, both were worthless and wouldn't provide any challenge when facing them. They only cultivated their typical Clan techniques, Nang specialising in water, and Zhou in fire.. [So droll]. Kewang Yun thought to himself calmly. In the up and coming battle, there were none that could threaten him coming first!

"Welcome, All!" A voice resounded throughout the stands.

It was strong and powerful, one which would only belong to someone that had exceeded the Qi Sea Realm! [This must be the Ren Clan's Patriarch.] Thought to himself quietly, although he was not impressed.

There were several reasons that he was unimpressed, but it was mainly because of his talent. [I've been cultivating for less than three years, and am almost at the Qi Sea Realm, whereas this Old One, must be nearing a few centuries old. He has cultivated for 50 years for my every year and is only just above the Sea Realm.. Trash].

Kewang Yun couldn't help but shake his head, the man didn't deserve to be head of a Clan with such might at hand!

"It is time for the Lotus Tournament to begin." The Ren Patriarchs voice overshadowed his thoughts. "There will be restrictions in this tournament, no killing is to be allowed. The younger generation has yet to mature, it would be tragic to see what could cease to be."

"The tournament shall go as follows, random straws will be drawn, between the Clans, those with matching colours will face each other, and advance to the next round. The same process will continue until the final round."

"Now if the four Clan representatives would come forward."

The grand elder of the each of the Cities Clan's came forward. The each took straws form the hand of the Ren Patriarch, nodding his head as he saw what straws had been drawn.

"First match, Ren Yi verses Kewang Feng!" The Ren Patriarch announced loudly.
