After the break, fight among the top ten disciples started in the afternoon.

Zhu Xuan observed the nine people he had to fight. Among them five are the twelfth level, three at peak of eleventh level, and two are at tenth level of body purification stage.

Apart from him, the other person in tenth level of body purification is Wu Tian Jian, he is from a subordinate clan of Bai clan and the other member selected among top ten disciples apart from Bai Ling and her elder brother Bai Ling Tian. He awakened the darkness elemental roots, which is a sixth grade elemental root, a grade higher than Zhu Lang.

Wu Tian Jian's attacks and movements were unpredictable and bizarre, and everyone fought with him so far had a hard time fighting against him. Zhu Xuan felt he hadn't shown his full power yet. But he also felt sad for him since his level was restricted due to his young age and if he was given few more years, he would have reach peak level of body purification stage easily and would become the winner of the selections.

He cleared his thoughts and observed the fight in the arena. His first fight was with the Juan clan member who is at the eleventh level of body purification stage, who also activated fire elemental roots.

It was an easy win for Zhu Xuan considering he was most proficient in fire element since it was the one he practiced from the beginning since he came to this world. His level of utilization and power in fire elements is definitely the best in body purification stage. Even though he is good at other elements too, it's not as smooth and powerful as with his fire elemental Qi.

His second fight was with Fang clan member who is at the twelfth level of body purification stage and he is a wind elemental cultivator. Fang Ya Zi used bow and arrow and attacked from distance. He figured if he attacked from distance and not let Zhu Xuan reach him, he will be able to defeat him easily.

But he was shocked when he saw Zhu Xuan formed an elemental spear in both hands and threw it at him. He dodged in haste and released his arrow. Zhu Xuan also dodged and released fireballs at him. He defended them easily and Zhu Xuan was also able to defend with the arrows he couldn't dodge on time.

Both were at a stalemate and both realized they can't do anything to each other since long distance attacks are not powerful due to dissipation of Qi.

Suddenly Fang Ya Zi took an arrow from his quiver and used his wind elemental Qi and released the arrow. It was too fast for Zhu Xuan to dodge and he tried to defend it, but he was pushed back ten meters almost close to the edge of the arena. His hands holding the sword bled.

Zhu Xuan was shocked and thought "How did the speed and power increase so fast? Did he also think of the same solution as I did? No wait; he took an arrow from his quiver instead of using an elemental arrow like all his previous attacks."

He dodged another arrow in haste and looked at the last arrow he defended which was on the floor. It was a steel arrow but there was array markings on the arrow and he suddenly understood the reason behind the increase of speed and power of the arrow and chided himself "Why didn't I think of this method? He used a wind array on the arrow so that it will enhance the wind elemental power and slow down Qi dissipation in the arrow. I could use this too in the future."

Zhu Xuan was excited at this new idea, but he immediately calmed himself down and dodged another arrow. He also found there were only few more arrows left in the quiver of Fang Ya Zi, but he couldn't risk until the other party finish all his arrows.

He dodged another arrow and threw another spear at him. But this spear was different; it had a chain linked to its end and the other end of the chain was connected to Zhu Xuan's hand. Fang Ya Zi dodged this attack and moved back thinking Zhu Xuan might be using the chains to bind him and close in on him.

But Zhu Xuan yanked the chain and the spear moved sideways towards Fang Ya Zi who was moving back with great speed. He also used his elemental Qi to change the spear into thick staff and it slammed on the sides of Fang Ya Zi. He got injured heavily on his sides and fell down. Zhu Xuan closed in on him and attacked him with his sword and Fang Ya Zi defended with his bow, but he formed a Fire Qi sword using his other hand and put it close to Fang Ya Zi's neck.

Fang Ya Zi couldn't do anything anymore and admitted loss. Everyone watching the match was shocked and amazed at the various utilization of Zhu Xuan and his different fighting style and were impressed by it.

After a short break and recovering his body to optimum condition, it was time for Zhu Xuan third match against Wu Tian Jian. He was looking forward to this match since he saw Wu Tian Jian's battle style.

Wu Tian Jian's attacks were unpredictable like you are in complete darkness and you won't know where the attack will be coming from, and you have to be ready to defend from all sides. Zhu Xuan got attack from all sides and the angle of the sword attack was also bizarre; one attack was a thrust, next was a slash and then a stab and then he smashed with side of his sword.

Zhu Xuan had a hard time defending it with one sword so he formed a fire Qi sword and started defending and attacking at the same time, but his attack didn't get through the unpredictable attacks of Wu Tian Jian.

Zhu Xuan increased the speed of his attacks and one attack got through his sword style, but he dodged the attack easily using his bizarre movements. He realized his speed is not enough to attack Wu Tian Jian and thought it is time for him to surprise Wu Tian Jian with his second elemental root.

He silently activated his Swiftwind Silent steps and moved behind Wu Tian Jian in a second and smashed the sword at his back. He changed his Fire Qi sword into Blazing flame fist for the follow up attack. But he was stunned by what happened next; his attack was blocked by a dark barrier.

He immediately moved back avoiding an attack from Wu Tian Jian while wondering "How did he put up his defense that fast; I used a fast sneak attack at his back, but he still able to predict it and use his defensive move. Is it because he has lots of battle experience or is there something special about his defensive technique?"

While thinking, he tried to move in different directions and attacked Wu Tian Jian with both of his hands with swords. But however fast he attacked and however unpredictable it was, Wu Tian Jian was able to defend all the attacks easily and respond with his own attacks.

Zhu Lang, who was sitting at the stage, was shocked by both of their talents and fighting power. He felt pressure on looking at the both of them fighting in the arena and decided he should either kill or subdue them once they reach the academy.

The crowd looking at the fight was flabbergasted and they all thought only one thing "Both of them are monsters; one has dual elemental roots and the other has darkness elemental roots and his attacks are too weird and unpredictable. They are only at tenth level but their attacks are stronger than most of the twelfth level disciples"

If they knew Zhu Xuan had Seven Phases elemental roots, they would have spewed blood in shock and anger.

Zhu Xuan also had his own thoughts while attacking and dodging "The attacks and movements of Wu Tian Jian is already unpredictable but his defensive barrier is even more so; it's like its alive and moving on its own to defend him from getting injured."

He tried attacking various sides but his attack didn't get through at all. He got angry and finally decided to use his movement technique at full speed. He put down the sword and used fire Qi in both hand to use various type of attacks in different angles, but however he attacked he was not able to land an attack on Wu Tian Jian at all.

He finally realised the only way to defeat Wu Tian Jian is by exhausting his elemental Qi without giving him any change of absorbing more Qi.

The fight went on more than half an hour and Zhu Xuan was able to exhaust Wu Tian Jian of his elemental energy by flurry of non stop attacks. Slowly, his attack speed and movements got slower and slower and finally he fell down and sat with exhaustion. He looked up at Zhu Xuan and said "You are a monster; don't you feel tired at all?"

Zhu Xuan smiled and said "You are one to say, your attacks are way too unpredictable. I enjoyued the fight."

Wu Tian got up and said "I lost. I look forward to fight you again"

Both of them looked at each other and laughed loudly; they shook hand and Zhu Xuan said "Me too."
