Chapter 85: Tournament-1!
"Huh?" Everyone expressed their surprise at his surrder.
The match hadn\'t ev begun so why would he surrder without a fight?
Curious about the reason, everyone looked at Ch Lu, and having the same curiosity, Ch Lu asked: "Why are you forfeiting the match before it ev began?"
"Because of him!" The Thunder Peak sect disciple yelled, pointing at Ash.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ch Lu questioned with a puzzled gaze, while Ash maintained his calm expression.
Hearing his question, the disciple revealed an incredulous expression on his face as he replied: "Is it not obvious? Didn\'t you hear about his preliminary match? He broke all the teeth of two of his sect mates and burned a female disciple\'s face ruthlessly. Ev now they are unrecognizable!"
He pointed at the three disciples sitting among the crowd. Their faces didn\'t look human.
As everyone\'s gaze followed his finger, the three disciples felt humiliated as they hid their faces. The female disciple ev began to cry. Previously, Everyone would look at her with praise for her beauty and talt, however, now all the gazes were of pity and disgust. She abhorred these gazes.
At this momt, Ash\'s oppont\'s voice once again reached everyone\'s ears: "They are his fellow sect brothers and sisters. If he is that ruthless with them, I can\'t imagine what he\'ll do with me. I ev suspect that he isn\'t here to win the tournamt, he only wants to fulfill his violt desires!"
Ch Lu nodded in understanding before asking for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to surrder without fighting? It wouldn\'t be good for your reputation, this can ev become a stigma. I suggest that you surrder after the match begins that would at least save your honor, how about it?"
Hearing his suggestion, the Thunder Peak disciple bowed in respect before rejecting his suggestion: "No, I want to surrder right now! I believe that he can stop me from surrdering and if he injures me heavily, I don\'t have the qi stones to buy medicines needed to heal. I don\'t want to take any risk, please just announce him as the winner."
He knew that he wouldn\'t be able to beat Ash. Ash defeated multiple nasct soul realm cultivators yesterday without ev breaking a sweat. He would just be making a clown out of himself if he wt ahead to fight Ash.
"Alright," Ch Lu nodded before announcing: "Winner, Phoix Feather Sect\'s Wang Ash!"
Ash, hearing the announcemt, turned a and wt back to his seat.
"Hahaha, This tournamt is full of surprises. I didn\'t think that a peak nasct soul realm cultivator would surrder in front of a newly advanced Nasct soul cultivator like Ash. Fg Xue, you must be delighted to see this, right?" Ch Lao asked.
Fg Xue didn\'t know how to respond. She was happy to see that Ash won, but, how his oppont called him ruthless, that didn\'t sit right with her. She decided that she would talk to Ash about this after the tournamt.
She smiled at Ch Lao with a nod: "Haha, yes!"
Her response was just this... as she began to look at the next pair of participants.
It was Mo Ch and a disciple from Eternal Blossom Pavilion. He wore a pink sect uniform.
Mo Ch was a core disciple at peak nasct soul realm and had easily won his preliminaries with the disciples of Phoix Feather Sect sucking up to him.
Their match wasn\'t something surprising as Mo Ch swept a clean victory with various skills learnt from his family and the sect.
The disciple from the Eternal Blossom Sect couldn\'t hope to win against him.
"Hahaha, Fg Xue, You\'ve got some great disciples this time. But in the next , Ash and this disciple will fight and you will surely lose one of them" Ch Lao taunted playfully.
This was the worst scario for any sect. Two disciples from the same sect, fighting each other to eliminate one another. In the d, it would be their own sect that would suffer.
Fg Xue also understood this as she calmly muttered: "What can we do about it? It\'s fate!"
And soon, the next match began. It was betwe a protagonist from the Celestial Harmony sect wearing a yellow sect uniform and a disciple from the Crimson Sky Sect.
Ash also got the notification about him.
[Ding, Host, That is one of the protagonists that was detected, Protagonist Lu Xian!]
Hearing this, Ash paid closer atttion to him. He had short messy crimson-red hair with a lean muscular physique.
Soon, the match began. At first, it appeared that they were similar in power as they exchanged several attacks with each other before Lu Xian suddly appeared in front of his oppont and attacked with a palm skill aimed at the middle of his oppont\'s chest.
Before his palm connected, one could see a small gre lotus appearing in the middle of his palm which exploded on coming in contact with the oppont\'s chest.
The oppont, as a response, was st flying out of the ara before coughing out blood. It appeared that he had sustained internal injuries.
"Winner, Celestial Harmony Sect\'s Lu Xian"
Similarly, all the other matches of the tournamt ded and Ash remembered the names and faces of the protagonists.
The 3 winners consisted of Bi Shiyue, Mo Ch, Ash, Bai Lg, Lu Xian, Mo Fan, Han Yujin, and others.
Ash noticed that each sect had two Protagonists in it except the Crimson Sky Sect. It only had Bai Lg.
Ash found it strange and decided to see his luck.
"System, show me Bai Lg\'s Luck Points!"
[Ding! Host, Protagonist Bai Lg has 450000 luck points right now!]
"What?" Ash\'s eyes wided in surprise as he began remembering just how much effort it took to deplete Mo Fan\'s 300000 Luck Points.
"Sigh... " Ash sighed and asked: "What about the other protagonists?"
[Ding!
Lu Xian: 000
Han Yujin: 40000
... : 0000
...
...
..
All the others were a 0000 luck points. Ash nodded and understood why was Bai Lg the only protagonist in Crimson Sky Sect.
With his amount of luck points, no protagonist would be able to compete with him.
As Ash was thinking about this, the next began and Bai Lg once again appeared on the ring.
