Chapter 51 - Surprise Wedding

       

       

       What is this style this contestant uses ? Its very strange...

       

       Ah, i can help, It's called blind resistance style, some elder speculated to ongoing discussion..

       

       Ah, elder, i thought i saw you biking through the forest near the town last winter.. How are you sect's affairs ...

       

       I just do it to observe the land from a vantage point, it helps my cultivation...

       

       Why the bike thou ?

       

       Its cause as we get stronger we forget our fundamentals...

       

       So what does this art do ?

       

       It is a combination... this is just the first move.. The sea of tranquilty gives us comfort.. the essence of the martial art..

       Which is exactly opposite of the violent nature.. Only this way you can cultivate its power of agression...      

       

       Well, looks lke she'll still lose... Want to place a wager on it ? Elder... I think your disciple is about to go to an early grave, no matter

       how much nonsense you are able to spout.. Her opponent has the advantage, his form is more stable.

       

       What are you going to do with the money anyway ? Buy yourself some medicine ??

       

       You may not know it, but Master Larchen has amassed a huge shopping center together..  If only i had the money..

       

       The dark skinned competitor jumped up, he was standing on top of his opponent, the crowd were looking at the slow motion move

       with much interest...

       

       He started landing kicks, but the disciple also defended with her arms, in a correct manner..  However, she skipped a kick from him and it

       landed on her guard, pushing her back... He landed on the ground, while she tried to calm down again...

       

       Ghostly decade... The female shouted, the spirits rushed from her towards her oppnent, after the chaos winded down, he was buried

       to the ground from his waist.. he was looking at her in shock, but then he shook his legs and got himself out.

       

       Hey.. no cheating.. the elder said, what the hell was that ?

       

       Heh, i told you it was.. eh nevermind, see it for yourself..

       

       The male contestant looked upset, his charisma here in tatters, at least in his mind.. he thought so. He looked at her with considerable

       anger in his eyes...His expression were tense with anger.. He was the top disciple in his age group, back in his buddhist sect.. He won quite a few

       contests so far, and was used to getting his way around..

       

       How the hell i ended up getting pairing with this troublesome woman ?

       

       His clothes were in tatters.. some in crowd were laughing, at him...

       

       He circulated his energy, activating his main red palm arts.. Red energy were coursing through his body..  It was all quiet..

       

       What is this the opening gates art ? Someone jeered

       

       He heard the comment, lost control of his mood, and his arts diverted... causing a catastroph.. match were over.. He was in bad shape...

       

       Crowd were silent at first, then it exploded with laughter.. 

       

       Well, you win elder...

       

       At least its good entertainment... Crowd is pleased.. Any complaints...

       

       Not really.. its really his own fault, what can i say, i was unlucky..  I lost to a bike riding weirdo..

       

       I didn't expect you to be so mature..I thank you, he cusped his hands, let's keep watching

       

       Is he going to be okay tho ?

       

       Unlikely.. I don't think Larchen has any responsibility.. to cure such a problem..

       

       So what did i win ?

       

       Here, take it, he threw over something..

       

       A glove ? What does it do ?

       

       I don't know, we found it in an ancient ruin...

       

       Sweet..

       

       At least you know when you see an artifact of quality..

       

       I'll give your disciples some instructions later on, since you are so generous.. Let them come by later to my hut in the forest...

       

       Well, shall we move on, Larchen said.. This was the last match.. Let's move to next area..

       

       What happened to naked grandma.. someone blurted out... 

       

       Why.. you are looking for a date ? 

       

       People were laughing.

       

       ....

       

       So we are back just in time..  Surely, there's something bad to happen during this event.. i can feel it, anti-tribe said. 

       Well then let's hope we aren't too late..

       If that horrror were unleashed here....

       It'd be easily taken care of, you are exagerating... There are masters here..

       All the more reason..

       Don't be childish.. control yourself.. Show responsibility...

       

       

       The fotress is really impressive, they quickly expanded it too.. Much less of a mess than i thought...

       

       Halt, who are you.. a solider in religios uniform called out to them.. 

       

       Ah the soldiers look awesome... I'm really impressed..

       

       I'm anti-tribe, Larchen is expecting us...

       

       Ah, yes, please come in, i've recieved word you were about to arrive, we've been tracking your progress, on our new.. map tracing 

       device. The runemasters came up with it..

       

       Ah, genius, elder said, let's go...

       

       ...

       

       As they walked in to castle, a flame artist were doing some light show, for the next stage of the competition. Ah how impressive,

       anti-tribe said..

       

       Ah, Larchen cares more about architects than us huh ? Anti-tribe joked. We are almos refugees now..

       

       Then impress him with your ... prowess.. Elder said uninterestedly..

       

       You mean romantically ? i'd always be ostricized.. its ridiculous..

       

       Just drop some hints.. Original Larchen likes older woman.. his clone would be same too.. Just look for an opportunity.. Cheer up..

       

       You mean brush my native body to his, implicatingly ? Make him hot ?

       

       Why not..

       

       .....

       

       They delivered the solar shield artifact, they were giving a personal report to the council.. After a while it was over, everyone left..

       

       Master Larchen, would you like to ?? Stuttered anti-tribe... Come into my tent ?

       

       Ehm, Larchen raised his eyebrows.. the he said.. I would..

       

       See it was easy elder joked...

       

       Anti-tribe blushed...

       

       ..

       

       So you are dating now ?

       

       Actually we are to be married.. Anti-tribe said...  You really weren't kidding, the age thing..

       

       Ah, it puts things into a darker context isn't it.. tribes and us.. So you iike him ?

       

       Doesn't matter is it ? He asked me to marry him, and made me promise we won't break up for a decade.. Almost too needy...

       

       Clearly he thinks it can help him subdue tribes here... a bit of a political move..
