Shadow Mask Group
40 - Four Star II Tournament

There are now 5 members on the right and left of Song Quon. "Do you understand the rules?"

The ten people nodded their heads in understanding.

Song Quon instantly moved to the edge of the arena, "Alright, the match begins"

The two teams were at a distance of several meters at the moment and were staring at each other. In group 3, there are Wu Anming (Yong) and Wu Xianlun (Hua). They are on the same team.

Xing Fu and Lao Tzu were on the same team as the brothers. While the other person was a woman who was Wu Xianlun's new friend, named Zhi Shu.

On team 4, there were three men and two women. They appear to have a superior amount of strength than team 3. However all the members of team 3 would not give up so easily without fighting.

"I will prove my strength. Although my strength is very weak for now. But I believe, I can defeat an opponent who is on the same level as me" Wu Anming said with a confident smile.

"He was overconfident" Inner Lao Tzu as he slightly glanced at Wu Anming. Then he looked back to the front.

No members have moved on either side to date. They look to be looking for weaknesses of their opponents.

"Why are they quiet like that?" said a man watching.

"Okay, I don't know either. Hey, you guys hurry up! Why keep quiet like that, you guys want to until when to keep quiet?!" a woman shouted beside the man.

"Element of the ground:thorn of the ground" muttered Xing Fu. Instantly, the ground that was in front of one of the opponents was lifted up with a sharp shape.

Because the attack arrived, making the opponent who was targeted unable to get out of the way. Finally, the sharp ground was scratching the chin of the opponent. Instantly the opponent immediately jumped back and held his chin.

This incident was so sudden that it made the audience and people from team 4 surprised.

"Heh, it's already started" said a man from team 4. He immediately rushed forward towards the opposing team. The movement is quite fast for people who are on the same level as him.

"Hey, don't take action yourself!" said team leader 4 upset.

The other two in team 4 also followed the man and did not listen to their own team leader. This made the team leader upset. He looked at a man standing near the flag. The chief nodded. "At least one is still following my direction" he murmured.

The 4th team leader was only on guard in his area. He was like the first defense that would help one member guard his team's flag.

"You guys chose to fight head-on, stupid" Xing Fu murmured. Her lips are interested. It has a special dantian with earth element. So of course the soil element it releases will be stronger than the soil element that others learn about the soil element with the usual dantian.

"Element of the ground: the dome of the ground", Xing Fu stomped his feet and just right away, the ground instantly rose and formed a dome in each person of the opponent. Now, the three advancing opponents were instantly trapped inside the ground that formed the dome.

"Tck! Now it's just me and him. What am I supposed to do?" muttered the 4th team leader in annoyance.

"Whoah! Does team 4 only have that much power?!" shouted one spectator.

"We'll see" said the audience next to him.

"Yong (Wu Anming), Jian (Lao Tzu) and Hua (Wu Xianlun), you go to the opponent's place and seize their flag. While I'm gonna defend this dome of earth. Then Jiao (Zhi Shu) will keep our team's flag. I will try to defend this dome of earth" Xing Fu said.

Everybody nodded. Wu Anming, Wu Xianlun and Lao Tzu immediately ran towards the opposing arena. Xing Fu and Zhi Shu remained in their team arena.

Inside the earthen dome, the three people trapped in each different dome tried to free themselves. They used their power and used their fists to destroy the dome. Although their strength was above Xing Fu, it was quite difficult to destroy this earth dome because the land was very hard and strong.

Seeing an opponent approaching his area, the 4th team leader immediately tried to stop them. He used his spear to fight 2 opponents. While the rest he entrusted to his friend who guarded the flag.

"You think I'm gonna let you guys just win?" said team leader 4.

Wu Anming gritted his teeth. He immediately took out the sword that was sheathed on his waist and resisted the attack launched by the head of the enemy team. Their weapons had the same level, which was intermediate. This weapon was given to them as a gift for being a member of the shadow mask group.

"I hand him over to you", Lao Tzu immediately ran towards the 4th team flag and left Wu Anming alone.

"H-hey, tck done" resigned Wu Anming. He now has to face the 4th team leader who is two stars above him.

A strong wind immediately blew. The wind was coming from the opposing flag area. Lao Tzu and Wu Xianlun who were running towards the opponent's flag instantly covered their eyes with their arms outstretched forward and they tried to stand upright.

The 4th team leader and Wu Anming also felt that the wind was strong enough, they immediately covered their eyes with their hands stretched forward so that the flying dust would not hit them.

"The person hid his cultivation level. He looked to be at the Qi foundation level. Though he was at the master level" Zong Xian murmured.

The man on team 4 who was guarding the flag, instantly moved towards the opponent. When the opponent is preoccupied with the wind he makes. He swung his sword at Wu Xianlun. However, his attack was immediately suppressed by Lao Tzu using his sword.

"You are great" said Lao Tzu coldly. He was known as a cold man. Not because he had the element of ice, but because the speech and expression he showed was just a cold expression. Therefore he was called that by most members of the group.

"Heh, I thought you were going to stop my attack" said the 4th team man. Ipun jumps high and starts attacking Lao Tzu. Although there was a gust of wind that was quite large, in fact they seemed to still be able to fight.

"I can't defend this earthen dome much longer" Xing Fu sighed.

"Then, we will stop 3 opponents who will come out of this dome of your land" said Zhi Shu while staring at three domes in front of him that began to crack.

Crack

The dome cracks get bigger until it finally breaks. The three opponents who were inside the dome looked rather exhausted just to destroy this dungeon alone. But they still directly attacked two opponents in front of them.

The wind that blew strong enough is now no longer felt. Wu Xianlun gazed towards a fight which was the fight of Lao Tzu and a team 4 man. "This is my chance" he murmured.

He immediately ran to the opponent's flag and tried to take it. But when he almost touched it, a spear was thrown and headed towards Wu Xianlun. The spear was stuck in the woman's leg.

Wu Xianlun immediately fell down and groaned in pain, "Akh, sick", he also directly pulled out the spear with all his might.

"Xian'er!", Wu Anming stared at his sister. He had intended to help his younger brother, but the 4th team leader also ran towards Wu Xianlun.

At the same time, Xing Fu was now extremely exhausted. But he kept one opponent from seizing the flag. The other two opponents were overcome by Zhi Shu. Although actually the woman is very difficult to stop two opponents at once. Moreover, these two opponents had greater strength than Zhi Shu.

However, the woman continued to fight and held back two opponents.

"Heh, you can't win against us. Although we were exhausted enough to just be free of the man's dome, we were able to defeat you. So just give up if you don't want to get hurt" said a woman who fought Zhi Shu.

"I won't just give up" said Zhi Shu. He immediately jumped high and swung his sword towards the opponent.

But unfortunately, the other opponent is a user of bows and arrows. The woman with the bow immediately shot her arrow towards the hand of Zhi Shu who was holding the sword.

Shuttles

Only, the arrow only scratched Zhi Shu's hand. But still, Zhi Shu's attack became a bit of a turn.

"Tck, fuck. I didn't hit it" muttered the woman who used the bow.

Now the sword of Zhi Shu collides with the sword of the opponent.

"I'll hold it here, you quickly grab the opponent's flag" said the 4th team woman who fought with Zhi Shu.

The bow-user woman nodded. He was trying to run to the opponent's flag.

"I'm not letting it!" said Zhi Shu. He immediately ran towards the bow-wielding woman and directly swung his sword towards the opponent.

Fortunately, the bow-wielding woman immediately jumped back so that the attack did not hit her.

"You're so stubborn, you better give up!" said the bow user woman.

"Element of the ground: the dome of the ground" muttered Xing Fu. Instantly, an earthen dome instantly covered his team's flag.

The man who was fighting Xing Fu became surprised, "You cheated!"

"I'm not cheating at all, don't we just have to defend his team's flag and take the opponent's flag. Did you forget?" xing Fu said in a mocking tone.

Xing Fu continued to dodge attacks and occasionally fended them off. "Jiao (Zhi Shu), you don't have to worry about our team's flag. I'll guard it using my turret"

"But aren't you tired? So let me take care of him" said Zhi Shu, tilting her head to the side to avoid an arrow darting towards him.

"Calm down, I can still. You just have to focus on your enemies" Xing Fu said.

"Then, fine. We can only hope to our friend who is now in the enemy area to quickly get the opponent's flag"

Xing Fu nodded. He immediately retreated a few steps while resisting the opponent's sword attack.

"I just need to defeat you and exhaust your Qi so that the dome of the land can be lost" said the opponent.

"Heh, I won't let that happen" Xing Fu said. Although he was now quite desperate because he was ranked below the enemy, but he still smiled confidently. It was as if he had seen a clear victory already before his eyes. "I entrust the victory to the three of you" he said with a smile.

"Cih, even though you are desperate but you can still smile" said the opponent. He also feels underestimated. He directly attacked Xing Fu faster making the young man more difficult to resist and avoid the opponent's attacks.

At the same time, Wu Anming directly blocked the 4th team leader who intended to get closer to his brother and intended to attack his sister.

"Akh, brother don't mind me. Take the opponent's flag" Wu Xianlun said in pain. He was still not standing because of his leg that was injured by the spear that had stuck on his leg.

"No, I won't leave you here and let you hurt Xian'er", Wu Anming shook his head.

"Your brother and sister's blessing will only make a defeat for your own team" said team leader 4. He attacked Wu Anming with a fist.

Boomm

Wu Anming was immediately thrown a few meters because he had a punch that hit his stomach.

"Sister!"

"Currently, you don't have to worry about your brother. Better worry about yourself" said team leader 4. He looks upset when he sees the bond of this sister and sister.

He immediately kicked Wu Xianlun to make the girl thrown several meters and lay on the ground. However Wu Xianlun was still conscious and had not fainted.

"How dare you injure my sister!", Wu Anming who was already standing stared intently at team leader 4. Suddenly, around his body appeared sparks of yellow lightning. It disappeared from where it stood.

"Where is he?!", the 4th team leader became alert, he looked towards the right and left. But he did not find his opponent.

Wu Anming suddenly appeared before the 4th team leader. "Receive this!", he immediately clenched a hand that was fed by lightning and directly hit the stomach of the 4th team leader violently.

The 4th team leader was surprised, but could not avoid the attack. He finally bounced a few meters and he fell in the enemy area.

Xing Fu and the man he was up against were the same as jumping back when something flew towards them. As the dedebuan disappeared around the place where something fell, they were shocked when they saw the 4th team leader. However the surprised Xing Fu immediately smiled. "Hehe, you see? Our team will win"

The man she was fighting against gritted his teeth and did not know what to reply Xing Fu said.

Lao Tzu still seems to be fighting against a man from team 4. This opponent had wind-like speed that was hard to see. But with his unique ability, which can see the color of one's soul, then Lao Tzu does not look difficult.

His opponent had the same level of cultivation as him. Only, his opponent would definitely be able to defeat a person with several stars on top of him because he had wind-like speed and was rather difficult to detect.

"You're great to defend against me too, cold man" said the opponent.

Lao Tzu said nothing. But in his heart he muttered, "Cold man? Who is meant? What me?"

"Anming has shown his strength. His abilities also seemed to have improved" Liu Chen murmured. She smiled thinly.

"Your member named Yong (Wu Anming) is pretty great too, huh. Xun" said Zong Xian.

Liu Chen simply nodded and smiled without staring at Zong Xian. He remained focused on looking into the tournament arena. "The members that Guang brought were great as well. He had a special dantian of earth element"

"You're right" Zong Xian nodded.

"But even so, the amount of our strength is still weak if we want to protect all humans. We will not be able to defeat the demon emperor" Liu Chen said.

"Then Xun, how much power do you think the demon emperor has?" yang Jia Li.

"Your teacher should have told you that, right? Why ask me?", Liu Chen frowned and looked at Yang Jia Li.

"Hehe, it seems like the teacher explained and told me that. But because I was too bored, I didn't listen to it" Zong Xian said, chuckling softly.

"I was lazy to hear the teacher's very long explanation. It makes me sleepy. Maybe when master explained about the power of the demon emperor, I fell asleep hehe" Yang Jia Li said as he chuckled softly.

Liu Chen shook his head listening to the answers of the two of them. He immediately replied to Yang Jia Li's question earlier, "If not mistaken, the teacher at that time told him that the power of the demon emperor was in the immortal.

But since it is sealed and fights with our teacher, perhaps the power of the demon emperor is weakened. Therefore, after the demon emperor had risen, then the demon emperor could not have directly attacked. He will gather strength first"

Zong Xian and Yang Jia Li nodded. They looked back at the arena as well as Liu Chen.

"Sister, take the opponent's flag! After that, we will win" Wu Xianlun said.

Wu Anming nodded, he immediately darted fast and now he was in front of the opponent's flag. He immediately pulled out the flag and lifted it up. "Our team won!"

The crowd cheers and applause sounded.

"Team 3 wins!"

"I think team 4 will win because they have a greater amount of power than team 3. But it turns out the opposite. Team 3 wins!"

"You're right, I originally thought that team 4 would win!"

"This fight was won by team 3! Congratulations to team 3, you guys qualify for round 2!" said Song Quon.

Hearing that, everything in the arena stopped fighting. All 4 team members were disappointed. Team 3 is happy.

"I told you that we're the ones who'll win!" xing Fu said with a smile towards the man he had fought earlier.

"Other times, we won't let you win from us. We will grow stronger and surpass you!" said the man.

Xing Fu shook his head, "Free when you are stronger and stronger than the opponent. But they don't have a good cooperation. You should have listened to your team leader first. Don't act alone"

The man directly helped his team leader who was lying on the ground. There was blood on the lip of the 4th team leader. "I'll remember what you said earlier. Well, congratulations on your victory"

Xing Fu nodded. He immediately removed the earthen dome that covered his team's flag.

Wu Anming directly helped his sister walk. He went towards Xing Fu. So did Lao Tzu and the man he was fighting earlier. No one was hurt at all between Lao Tzu and the man he was fighting.

But their Qi was drained quite a lot and the man Lao Tzu was fighting looked exhausted. Unlike Lao Tzu who does not look tired in the slightest. But he was just as tired as the opponent. But not showing it.

"You're great, you don't look exhausted at all" said Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu said nothing. His expression was still cold.

"You're okay, aren't you, Xian'er?" said Wu Anming. He held his sister on his back.

"It's okay, just a little bit sick. Because big brother, our team won!" wu Xianlun said with a smile.

"Hehe, of course. It's me, Wu Anming. I will become a stronger person and protect you, Xian'er. Whatever happens" Wu Anming said with a smile.

Although his body still feels a bit sick, but he does not care about it. All he cared about was Wu Xianlun.
