Pokemon In Cultivation World

They finally reached the arena shortly after, and Blake started looking around for Zhao Long. She easily found him, for some reason he stayed on the same spot all this while.

"Hey, Zhao Long!" Blake waved and shouted to him as she approached together with Fang and Little Xun, Fang's face was cold as ever and Little Xun had the same slight smile he always had.

"Sister Blake!! You are finally back!" Zhao Long seemed to be on the verge of crying. He had been waiting here all this while, not even moving slightly away from his spot. He was really worried and thought something had happened with Blake, but he didn't knew if going after her or waiting here for them was the best choice.

"Sorry for suddenly disappearing and leaving you alone. I had something to deal with, and these guys helped me a little bit with it." Blake vaguely explained with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"You two say sorry to him too." Blake scratched the back of her head and looked at Little Xun and Fang. The cultivation world hierarchy made something like these two apologizing to a failed disciple like Zhao Long something unacceptable, but Blake doesn't know about this hierarchy and even if she knew she wouldn't care.

"No, no, no. There's no need for them to apologize, yours is enough Sister Blake." Zhao Long seemed fl.u.s.tered as he hurriedly tried to stop them from apologizing.

"My apologies brother Zhao Long." Little Xun cupped his fists and slightly bowed, he didn't seem to care about hierarchy.

"You too, Fang." Blake put her hands in her h.i.p.s and looked at Fang, who didn't seem to have any intention of apologizing. Five seconds of awkward silence later, she sighed.

"Sorry Zhao Long, he wants to apologize too but he is too shy to say it." Fang glare at Blake intensified a little when she called him shy, and she looked at him again and gave him a cheeky grin.

'Teasing this paralyzed face is a little fun.' Because of her Aura, she could feel that Fang in contrast to his cold expression was actually slightly embarrassed.

Zhao Long then started apologizing himself and almost kowtowed on the spot, which made Blake spend a lot of effort to calm him down. He was pretty panicked. Having cultivators higher than him on the food chain apologizing was more scary than flattering to him, a lowly talentless outer disciple.

Soon the mood became normal again and they started chit chatting, until Blake turn came quickly after.

"Good Luck Sister Blake!" Zhao Long shouted while Little Xun smiled and waved, Fang didn't seem to care as he had a bored look. Blake was going to enter the inner sect even if she lost this match anyway.

This round was not one where you needed to challenge people or accept challenges anymore, it was back to random again and the remaining participants were very relaxed. Their spot on the inner sect was guaranteed as they already reached this far, so while the rewards for the top 3 disciples were nice, even if they lost right now they don't really care.

Some still had a determined look on their faces, they probably wanted to get first or at least get into the top 3 to prove their worth. Blake doesn't know what to do now.

She needs to maintain a low profile so that Little Xun and Fang don't get into more trouble, but she already got quite the attention with her earlier fights. Should she aim for championship or lose on purpose now?

While she was lost on thought her opponent was finally decided so she went into the ring, she looked at her opponent and was slightly surprised. Her opponent was a little different from most she faced on the tournament.

First, it was a girl. She had abnormal gray eyes and black hair, and was wearing outer disciple garbs. She was holding two slender swords with slightly smaller than average length in her hands, obviously a dual wielder. Blake never fought with someone like that before and was pretty curious. She only saw dual wielders in games and has zero idea about their fighting style.

Her opponent was also examining her, as she prepared herself to fight. The girl looked at Blake and thought about her fights until now, she was watching the tournaments for potential troublesome opponents and Blake was one of these.

'Easily enraged, incredible fighting instinct and reaction time, but low cultivation.' That's the conclusion she reached from watching Blake's fights. She doesn't think this fight will be difficult, but she still cautiously looked at Blake and didn't let her guard down.

Blake unsheathed her sword and and did her usual stance, while her opponent did the same. They both focused and prepared for the judge's signal when Blake felt the pressure coming from her and did a wry smile.

The girl was on the fifth stage of the Body Refinement Realm.
