Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 234: A Few Words To Cause Thousands Of Battles Part One

The Soaring Cloud Sect, its majestic peaks rose high into the sky. It was home to thousands of disciples. On this day Mei was faced with her greatest challenge. When Bai Hong showed up with Mei in tow the Sect Master himself came down from his peak to welcome him. When he saw that Mei was only at stage four body refinement, he frowned. 

"Old Bai, why are you taking in a girl with such low cultivation?" Sect Master Li asked.

"Humph! What do you know! My disciple here may be only at stage four body refinement but she can wipe the floor of all the body refinement cultivators in the sect!" Bai Hong proudly declared. He had no idea that these words would cause Mei to have to face her greatest challenge yet.

At the hunting grounds on the largest battle stage in the sect, Mei stood stall on top of it looking at the opponent in front of her. Because of Bai Hong's words, she now had to face every stage four and above body refinement disciple in the sect to prove that Bai Hong was right. Only then would Sect Master Li allow her to join the sect as a direct disciple. 

Bai Hong was displeased with this but he could not go against the sect master's orders. Mei could only sigh and take this whole ordeal as a form of training. An elder acting as a neutral party stood up on stage. She looked at Mei, smiled, and nodded. This elder's name was Elder Dan and she was also one of the few female elders. 

"Rules of the matches are simple. Fights will not end until one person has either been knocked off the stage, made unable to fight, or gives up. I will call the fight if I see someone's life is in danger. Keep these three rules in mind. With all this said let the battles begin!" Elder Dan shouted before stepping off the side of the stage. 

Mei stood in her exact spot and did not move. She wanted to watch her opponent. The person in front of her was a young man around her age at stage four body refinement. He looked at Mei arrogantly. Mei could tell he wanted to use her as a way of making a name for himself. "I Lu Ren will prove here and now that you are not fit for this sect!" Lu Ren boldly stated. 

He then shot towards Mei with his sword drawn. But Mei still did not move from where she stood, she did not even get into any stance. She stood there with her arms and sword at her side watching the young teen as he rushed at her without any plan. Lu Ren swung his sword down towards Mei's head, he had every intention to kill! 

Mei let out a sigh and wondered why everyone was so quick to take a life. This was just supposed to be a friendly match. Still not moving from where she stood she raised her sword and blocked Lu Ren's attack slightly bending her back a little bit so she could then use his momentum against him. She grabbed the neck of Lu Ren's robes, tossed her hip into his stomach, swiftly leaned forward, and with her own strength plus Lu Ren's momentum tossed him straight off the battle stage. The entire time she had only moved once and her movements only consisted of two steps. Other than that she had not moved from the spot she stood. The crowd of disciples who had come to watch all thought she was about to die. Even Elder Dan was about to rush on stage only to be stopped by Bai Hong himself! 

Seeing that Lu Ren lying on the ground in utter disbelief of what had just happened, Elder dan shook her head and jumped on stage and announced: "Winner Mei!" 

After that, every disciple who came on stage was swiftly beaten. She first had to defeat every stage four body refinement cultivator before she could fight stage five body refinement cultivators. This process was very long. In the span of a day she had already fought over a thousand battles. These continuous battles would continue to go on until she had fought every body refinement cultivator. 

Mei was a little depressed about this. Because this 'training' was only good for the eyes so far and not actual skill. Most of these young teens only knew how to charge at their opponent which led them to be in the same embarrassing scene as Lu Ren. There were only a few out of the thousand that actually fought well. It was only then that Mei did not try to finish the battle quickly and tried to learn from her opponent's skill. 

Sect Master Li watched all of this from his seat. His eyes glowed the more he watched. He knew Mei was only using these body refinement cultivators for training. He was not the only one. Every disciple there could tell! She was just that open about her actions even though she didn't say a word. This fact actually made the body refinement cultivators angry! her actions were like a slap to the face!

The light of the day finally began to fade away and the battle tournament would now stop for the day. Mei walked off the stage towards Bai Hong, her face showing nothing but a cold expression. It was clear as day to Bai Hong that his little disciple was angry. He had no idea his words would have caused such an incident as this! To appease his little disciple Bai Hong lowered his pride and bowed his head: "Mei'er sorry! Your Master didn't know this was going to happen."
