You both rush forward. Your spear meets his shield, you quickly meet his sword with your shaft. You kick, he leaps away
"<span class="mu-b">You have the upper hand. That mean I'll have to give my all. Come forth, Golden Talisman Horse!</span>"
The spirit you bounded to him. The one letting him step up. A part of your mind can't help and whisper to you that he would also greatly benefit from the Cosmic Golden Snake if you could catch more of them in the future.
He is really a sight to behold, mounted with his sword and shield, shrouded in a faint golden light.
Between the mount and the strange enchantment, you can't match him only with your raw talent.
"I need to send my treasured spirit... Come Forth, Blood Shadow Wolf!"
Note to self : find a real Blood Shadow wolf to merge with your Scion of the Primordial Wolf spirit. You have 3 or 4 ideas of techniques this would enable.
Second note to self : find out what the Monkey Army of Yi Norm exactly do - you have a hunched it would empower the Primordial spirit further
You and the summon circle Ping Jun. You order it to leap at your kindred spirit, sending a sweeping motion when he sidesteps his horse spirit.
Said horse spirit vanishes. Ping Jun falls - he nails the landing, readying a strike...
"<span class="mu-s">Touch! Victory of Quiet Word of the Tamers of Hundred Beasts!</span>"
Your summon clawed at his back.
"<span class="mu-b">I'll try harder in the future... Didn't had any illusion for this year. But please, don't surrender this year.</span>
- Dear Ping Jun, I'll swear I'll do my very best to win this edition."
You step out of the Arena. First half-final is Dhundan against LienWen JiaLin - an interesting fight among a supple and vicious fighter, and an unstopably scary saber wielder.
The results are not so surprising. You mentally thank Dhundan for his quick dispatch of his opponent - letting you easily keep your focus on your summon
"<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">Don't overestimate yourself... Next year... Next year, I'll... I'll be second stage! and you'll have to suffer a thousand cuts from the Stable Lotus Spiritual Arts.</span></span>
- <span class="mu-s">Lots of words for a loser. Do like Quiet Word : when you lose, shut up and train for real.</span>"
It's time for your half-final - against the other Stable Lotus Heir. Your match. Your... match?
"<span class="mu-g">You still seem weird. Are you alright?</span>
- ...I'm getting ready to win this tournament, that's all.
- <span class="mu-s">Ready? Fight!</span>
