Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 237: A Little Monster

While Bai Hong and Elder Dan were arguing, Mei walked over to Shi Rong and cupped her hands and slightly bowed. "I am sorry I almost seriously hurt you."

"No, it's fine. I aimed at some of your vitals as well. I also got a little carried away." Shi Rong also cupped her hands and bowed. "But I was pretty amazed by you, Mei. I can see why Elder Bai was willing to take you in as a direct disciple and I also owe you my thanks."

"Thanks?" Mei was confused. She didn't think she did anything that deserved thanks for.

"Because of you, I was able to go from an outer disciple to a direct disciple in a month's time. All because you were able to bring out my abilities." Shi Rong was very happy such a thing happened. Now she can get better resources for her cultivation. It had been a long time since she was able to fight as hard as possible without winning right away. Only when you can go all out will your true talent shine and thanks to Mei having to duel every body refinement cultivator she was able to do just that in front of all the elders.

"Well, at least something good came out of all of this." Mei scratched her nose. She really didn't know what to say. 

The girl's talk was interrupted when Bai Hong came over and shook Mei back and forth. "Mei'er no matter what do not accept this witches candy!" 

Once again Mei was put into a spot where she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Master Bai, I do not even like candy!" 

A big smile formed on Bai Hong's face hearing this. "Good! Good! Since that is the case I do not have to worry." 

Mei rolled her eyes and went to climb back on to stage only to see Sect Master Li standing there. He looked at Mei and nodded his head before looking at everyone else. "I have decided to make this tournament a little more fun. From now on only those who wish to challenge Mei will need to fight against her. If you are able to fight her and win you will be automatically promoted to an inner sect disciple!" 

The whole crowd of disciples suddenly burst into an uproar. But quickly calmed down when Sect Master Li raised his hand. "Wait, I am not finished. Those who have lost already are not allowed to challenge her. For those who do challenge and lose, there is also a chance of becoming an inner sect disciple as well. But this will be done on strict guidelines. So more than likely if you lose, unless you showed some kind of skill we feel should be nurtured early, you will not be able to become an inner sect disciple. Challengers can be from body refinement stage one all the way to qi gathering stage one! "

"Old man, you're too much, you want my disciple to fight stage one qi gathering disciples at rank four body refinement?" Bai Hong suddenly yelled out. He was completely furious to the point he did not care about titles.

"Old Bai, your disciple is able to use the law of wind. She should be able to fight against stage one qi gathering. It will also be good for her cultivation to fight a really strong opponent." Sect Master Li explained.

Bai Hong was still a bit reluctant, he looked over at Mei who smiled and nodded her head. She also wanted to try to fight against someone who could use spirit power as well. She wanted to see how much stronger it will make her opponents. With a humph, Bai Hong waved his hand and said: "Fine have it your way!"

Bai Hong did not leave, he stood near the stage just in case. He would not let anything happen to his disciple! Sect Master Li jumped down off the stage and landed next to Bai Hong. "Old Bai, I am doing this for her own good. To be honest I think this girl can jump many realms if she puts her mind to it. She is like a little monster. When I saw her use the law of wind earlier, my eyes almost fell out of my sockets." 

"She learned how to use the law of wind in an hour. The cultivation technique is the one I found in that mystic realm some time back. She was able to figure out how to use it after only pondering over it for an hour." Bai Hong explained.

Sect Master Li's eyes went wide. He looked over at Mei who was getting ready to start her next battle in disbelief. Took her an hour to understand how to use that technique He knew how long it took Bai Hong to learn the first layer and he was still unable to perfect it. But this little girl "I was right, she is a monster! No matter what, Old Bai make sure you treat this disciple of yours with the utmost care. I will also supply you with whatever you need."

"Then I will be counting on you. Mei'er will become a legend that is for sure." Bai Hong could already see it now. This little girl will cause some kind of uproar in the future. What the uproar would be he did not know but he knew with how she was, things in the cultivation world might slowly start to change.

Mei stood on stage and in front of her was a young man around nineteen to twenty years of age. He stood there with a stoic face looking at Mei. He was a stage one qi gathering realm cultivator. He was the first one to take up the sect masters challenge.
