It was a dark scene, as silence filled the entirety of a once lively town. The streets were void of any signs of activity as all individuals residing in the town had vanished, the bleak sky blanketed the world with its dark clouds as pellets of snow fell on top of clumps painting this dull scenery with its monotone.
A few beams of sunlight managed to break through some of the dark clouds as they illuminated a small portion of this 'Ghost Town.'
Swoosh!
A dark morning wind blew amongst the empty street ways traveling all the way towards a large mansion that resided within the northern district. However, upon reaching the entrance of this mansion the dark winds acted strangely as they swept around the mansion unable to proceed directly through it.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Three forms soon appeared in front of this mansion, a handsome looking man surrounded by two gorgeous beauties. If one were too few them from afar they would easily be lost into their charm's. Sadly, these beauties and the handsome man each had a frown on their faces.
"This Feng Mansion, I don't know what kind of formation they are using but the <Cloudy Corruption Wind Dark Arts> is unable to penetrate it. How could such a profound and abstruse method be in hands of a small local clan such as this?" the handsome man said with a frown on his face.
"Damn! Now we have an unexpected variable in our plans, the preparations won't be complete if we don't add the individuals residing in this Damn Mansion!!" said one of the beauties as she stomped her feet and snarled.
"Sigh, I guess there is no use now, let's just make do what we can with have. Jie Jie! I do not believe that these incompetent humans can break our incomplete formation." said the handsome man with a bright light shining at the depths of his eyes, the two beauties beside also laughed with the same eerie tone as the odd light shone both of their eyes.
******
The Chosen Battle Arena was filled with noise as many rouge practitioners and influential characters were occupied in the discussion of the previous battle. However, as these individuals were lost in heated dialogues there was a change on the battle platform.
The eyes of the Ancient Dragon had started to glow once more which then caused a bright light to cover Ye Wang's form healing his major injuries before transporting him to his Pseudo Chosen bronze square.
Zang Xu and XIa Rou looked towards Ye Wang in silence as each was lost in their own thoughts.
"Where do the limits to your strength truly ly? I certainly hope it isn't limited to what you've shown, after all, it would be meaningless to battle if that were the case." Zang Xu said to himself as he looked at Feng Yu.
Dai Lin who had now partially recovered looked at Feng Yu and gripped his fist. "Young Master still hasn't used any major strength and he is still leagues above my current levels. It looks like I'll have to take some to truly comprehended the mysteries of my cultivation art before I advance to Aura Disciple Realm. I should be able to increase my battle prestige if I can grasp the initial success of the 'Electro Overdrive'"
Miren Fei looked at Feng Yu's figure on the silver battle platform with a firm look on her face.
Lang Kuang observed in silence. "....."
The Ancient Dragon's eyes soon began to glow once more, after which it spoke to the world.
"The match is over! I declare Feng Yu as the Fourth True Chosen! Commence Final Match!!" as it said this the platforms for Xiang Shu and Xia Rou started to move towards the last silver platform.
Rumble!
Seeing the change the Major Influences and Rogue Practitioners couldn't help but start to feel a wave of excitement, a few individuals gripped their fists silently as they speculated the results for the coming match.
Xun Yanshan observed Xia Rou's figure on her platform for a bit before shifting his vision to Xiang Shu while muttering to himself. "Hmm, the Xia Clan's brats strength is no inferior to Ye Wang's. I'm curious, will this strange youth be capable of matching her."
The Feng Clan, Imperial Clans, and other parties also observed in silence.
Zang Xu, Wuqi Shouzhi, and Nei Dongyan also placed their complete attention to both Xia Rou and Xiang Shu.
Feng Yu who now stood on his silver platform shifted his gaze towards Xiang Shu on his moving platform.
"I don't know who or what you are, but daring to interfere with my own gratitude and grudge will lead you to no good end," said Feng Yu, a murderous gleam shone in the depths of his eyes.
Thum!
With the sound of the platforms connecting to the final silver square platform, the figures of Xiang Shu and Xia Rou could now be seen standing at opposite ends of the newly joined battle platform.
As if he could sense something Xiang Shu looked to towards Feng Yu with a smile on his face, soon after returning his gaze to the beautiful young girl in front of him.
"I smell the scent of a maiden..." as he said this he couldn't help but lick the corner of his lips as a dark gleam shone in his eyes before speaking once more. "If you become my concubine I will spare your life."
The spectators hearing this was stunned, the members from the Golden Dragon Empire started to radiate intense murderous lights as Xun Yanshan looked at Xiang Shu with a deep look.
Xia Rou hearing his words was also stunned, quickly she recovered her composure and spoke with an angry expression. "You foolish indigenous from this backwater affiliate kingdom! You do not match, for your statement, I will kill you right now!"
BANG!
A strange and mysterious kind of power soon erupted from her body, soon, the elements lingering within the essences of heaven and earth starting to gather around her form. If one looked closely, they would notice two bright colors being blue and green.
"A Peak Class 1 Dual Elements Arcane Mage, impressive not a bad talent at all," said Feng Yu with a slight amount of surprise.
Xia Rou after collecting her mage force raised her hands in the air causing a staff to materialize out of nothingness. As she gripped the staff, she started to chant.
"I call upon the power of the wind..." as she spoke the wind essences started to gather around her body.
Xiang Shu seeing that Xia Rou had no interest in his proposal scoffed in response. "Hmph! A trivial water and wind element female mage dare to not accept my offer! You do not know good from bad, allow me to show you how to truly call the wind..." as he said this his aura quickly erupted.
BANG!
The essence-energies of the 9 Tier Body Training Realm was released as a stream of dark wind energy quickly shrouded his entire form causing him to rise into the air once more like a kite. After a few moments, he floated in the air as if he was nothing more than a part of the wind itself and showed his palm towards Xia Rou.
"Dark Jade Wind Arts: Dark Wind Palm!!" as Xiang Shu said this the powers of the dark wind essences in the surroundings started to gather around his palm, after a moment a large dark palm shot towards Xia Rou with an indomitable momentum.
Swooossshh!!!
The winds of the dark palm carried with them the powers to surround all things as if trying to sweep away the life from this small area of the world. A feeling of death quickly came upon Xia Rou. However, she remained calm as she finished her chant and pointed her staff towards the airborne Xiang Shu.
"First Spell of the Wind: Tempest Storm!!!!"
The moment her voice ended, a terrifying amount of wind shot towards the incoming dark winds.
BOOM!!!!!!
As the attacks collided, they created a powerful shock-wave that scattered across the entire battle platform spreading out for a few hundred meters. A dark green and light green colored tornado instantly formed within the silver square, engulfing both the airborne Xiang Shu and Xia Rou that stood on the ground.
After a few moments, the figures of Xiang Shu and Xia Rou could be seen inside of the tornado each with a strange barrier protecting their bodies.
"Interesting, so you can even insta-cast the basic wind barrier spell. Hmm, it seems that I had previously underestimated your talent, as such, I have decided to not kill you," said Xiang Shu with interest as he looked at the stubborn female who was chanting another spell while shouldering the dark and light tornado with her barrier. He lifted his hand once more, this time pointing his finger towards Xia Rou.
"Dark Jade Wind Arts: Dark Finger!" as Xiang Shu said this, a few more clusters of dark wind energy covered his finger. After a few moments, it then shot towards Xia Rou like a beam of black light.
Puuii!!!!
As she felt the danger of the finger attack, Xia Rou quickly wielded her staff once more finishing her new spell.
"First Spell of Water: Aqua Bullet!!!" as she spoke, she waved her staff caused groups of water orbs to form out of thin air which each compacted themselves into smaller and denser orbs of water that shot towards Xiang Shu's finger attack.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Bang!
The first condensed orb of water was destroyed by Xiang Shu's finger attack. However, as if it lost most of its energy the finger attack started to slow down while glowing in a dull hue. Soon, it was destroyed by the second aqua bullet, as the remaining bullets shot towards Xiang Shu who hovered as if unaffected by the tornado.
Xiang Shu smiled as he was the incoming bullets, waved his finger the dark wind barrier surrounding his body expanded quickly reaching the bullets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As each of the aqua bullets exploded on the wind barrier, Xia Rou looked on his shock as the barrier remained stead with no ripples or fluctuations.
"What! What kind of barrier is this? How could it be more powerful than my Peak Class 1 Barrier?" Xia Rou exclaimed as she momentarily forgot to cast her next spell.
"What a pity! It seems that you are only capable of casting class 1 spells, I don't have time to continue playing with you, child. After the chosen wars, I will slowly make time for that..." as Xiang Shu said he smiled once more with a nefarious gaze, pointing his finger once more towards the dazed Xia Rou.
"Dark Jade Wind Arts: Order of the Dark Wind...." as Xiang Shu spoke in a soft voice, it trailed off into the surrounded soon echoing in the ears of everyone on the battle platform.
Swoosh!!!
A stream of dark wind energies was summoned from the world creating an illusory sea of dark wind, the tornado vanished becoming apart of this sea which then shot towards Xia Rou in an instant.
"Damn!" realizing her mistake Xia Rou was furious and panicked at the same time, as she felt the terrifying energies of the attack coming towards her. With no time to cast a spell, she pushed all of her mage force into the barrier enforcing its shell.
BANG!!!
With a loud explosion, the figure of Xia Rou could be seen smashed into the scaly wall of the Chosen Battle Arena with her barrier destroyed. Soon, her body fell to the floor revealing a slight impression on the scaly wall.
Thud!
Xiang Shu looked at the unconscious form of Xia Rou on the ground with a smile on his face, his thoughts remaining unclear to all of the stunned individuals who were observing from their respected platforms.
The Major Influences and Practitioners were instantly sent into a turmoil, as they started to discuss the battle.
Feng Yu, Zang Xu, Wuqi Shouzhi, and Nei Dongyan looked at Xiang Shu with a serious look as if they could see what others could not.
Xun Yanshan, the Midnight Temple Man, the Southern Revolution Faction Man and Feng Junling look on in silence, as the woman in white looked towards Xiang Shu with a strange gaze. However, before anyone could speak there was a change.
Buzz!
The voice of the Ancient Dragon resounded once more.
"The match for True Chosen's are now over, with Xiang Shu becoming the final True Chosen! I now proclaim the beginning of the Chosen One's Battle Royal! The Ancient Door shall now descend!!!!!!!" as it spoke the echoes of the voice could be heard throughout the area.
Instantly, a bright light shone from the golden square covering the entire Chosen Battle Platform. Within a few moments, a beam of golden light shot towards the dark cloudy sky dispersing a few of the clouds revealing the light of dawn.
As the light shot towards the depths of the sky, it soon vanished into thin air as if it connected with another space.
RUMBLE!!!!!
The world started to shake as if something was coming into being.
"Whats going on?" said a clueless practitioner.
"Something... something coming from that gap in the sky!" said another practitioner.
All Major Influences and Top Class Characters looked towards the sky with greed in their eyes.
Feng Yunlong and Feng Junling looked at each other and nodded, as Xun Yanshan, Xin Zhu, Tang Fei and other major characters crushed unknown jades.
Xiang Shu looked at the sky with an even bright smile, as a dark nefarious aura started to emit from his entire being and the woman in white looked with a stream information shining her eyes.
She smiled while emitted a noble and pure aura as she spoke. "The door of ancients shall descend once again..."
A few beams of sunlight managed to break through some of the dark clouds as they illuminated a small portion of this 'Ghost Town.'
Swoosh!
A dark morning wind blew amongst the empty street ways traveling all the way towards a large mansion that resided within the northern district. However, upon reaching the entrance of this mansion the dark winds acted strangely as they swept around the mansion unable to proceed directly through it.
