Ah Chun: Ascending The Heavens 247 Sect Tournament Part One

The morning dew had yet to fall from the leaves. The cold morning breeze was brus.h.i.+ng past Ah Chun's face as she rode a Small Roc to the battle area set up for the compet.i.tion that would be going on for the next few weeks.  Ah Chun looked down at the multiple battle stages and smiled. She really hoped that she would have a fun time during this tournament. Ah Chun figured she would be in this sect for a few years as she cultivated her way to being able to protect herself without needing any outside sources. The cultivation system of this world was a lot stronger than her old world and the people of the Mortal Realm were also much stronger than that of her old world's Mortal Realm. 

Ah Chun did not know how strong those of this world were but she came to the conclusion that they were far stronger than she had thought. She figured she would have a long, long journey ahead of her on her path of cultivation. Although she hated that she was starting from scratch, it did seem her vow was still active and for some reason, she would randomly have lightning tribulation which the pink lotus when then absorb into her body allowing her to make quick breakthroughs. It had only happened once so far and she did not know if it would happen again. She could only a.s.sume certain things and hope that at some time it would happen again.

Although she missed everyone in her old world and worried about her mother's safety she could only push forward and continue to climb the path of cultivation. She hopped in the future she would be able to meet them again. Her life now was not so bad, she had made new friends and acquaintances and her journey was just beginning.  

Ah Chun landed on the platform and walked to where those who were partic.i.p.ating in the tournament were to line up and wait. This was the first time Ah Chun had seen so many people in the sect that were of the same cultivation as her. Even though  Ah Chun's appearance brought about curious eyes none of them showed any malice towards her. She was the youngest of the group but not a single one present was taking her lightly just because of her age. Word in the outer sect had already spread about a little lizard girl who burnt Huo Yang to a crisp all because he tried to act superior towards Ah Chun. Now more than anything Ah Chun had become a bit of a legend in the outer sect. 

As Ah Chun walked up to the group a familiar face walked up to her and greeted her. "Miss Ah! I haven't seen you since the sect entrance test!"

The person who greeted Ah Chun was Yi Chen who had fallen for Li Chen Bao at first sight when Ah Chun came to take the entrance test for the sect with her. Seeing this familiar face Ah Chun smiled and said: "Yes it has been a while. I see you are doing well! You even reached Qi gathering!"

Yi Chen's face was a little red as she said: "Actually I was already Qi Gathering when I took the entrance test. I have only reached rank two qi gathering since joining the sect." Yi Chen smiled embarra.s.singly. Scratching his head he continued: "If anyone should be saying congratulations it should be me to do so. You jumped from rank 7 body refinement to qi gathering in such a short time."  

"Thank you! It was not easy, trust me. I am guessing you will be joining the tournament as well?" Ah Chun asked. She already knew the answer but still wanted to ask just in case he was just here to say hi.

"Ah… Yeah, I have no hope of winning but I still wanted to test myself and see how far I can get. It seems we will have to battle everyone who is partic.i.p.ating. So when we meet go easy on me okay?" Yi Chen had a feeling that fighting Ah Chun was not a fight he could win so he could only ask for her to go easy on him.

"Only if you fight with everything thing you have! Oh yeah… If you want, I can talk to my Master and see if you can visit my sister after the tournament." Ah Chun said.

Yi Chen blushed but nodded his head and excitedly said: "That would be great!" 

"Haha! I will see what I can do. Let the both of us do our best in this tournament!" Ah Chun liked Yi Chen, he seemed like a really good person. She hoped that Yi Chen and Li Chen Bao would one day become a couple.

Before Yi Chen could say anything an old voice sounded out causing everyone to turn their attention to the old man standing on stage. Ah Chun recognized this man as the sect master himself. "To all the disciples of our Jaded Dragon Sect. There are only a few rules in this tournament. You can not kill your opponents and you can not cripple your opponents. Now we do understand that accidents do happen. But any intentional killing or crippling will result in having your own cultivation crippled and being thrown off the mountain. Contracted Spirit Beasts are also not allowed to be used during this tournament.  Other than that everything else goes." The sect master was looking at Ah Chun when he talked about spirit beasts. He wanted the battles to be fair and not be a one sided win because of a spirit beast. 

"With the rules out of the way, I now announce the tournament to begin!"
