The fight start signal is given, and already an arrow is embedded in the archer girl's left arm.
Jia Lin breaks out of her designated emplacement, to rush the Gerbil-girl, already lacing sword strikes. The desert girl manage to duck under the teal strikes, and deploy the Gerbil spirit behind Jia Lin - somehow she seems to have a way to deploy a Spirit Beast a few meters away!
The Jade Lotus Hawk spirit is deployed and strike down the beast, while JiaLin fourth and fifth strike lay crimson lines on the right arm and leg of the girl, which is taken out by the referee.
The Steel-mask will be your target. Despite the olfactive cacophony, you identify something special about his mask : the distinctive smell of Growth.
His Intent is sharpening. Not on your watch. Once again, you JUMP, getting the audience to hold its breath as a single man.
Your target noticed, as well as all your allies and foes. He quickly push in your direction, conjuring a strangely targetted thunderbolt.
The attack is weird : it is not made of Qi but of Intent, which is not something you believe should be feasible. But you happen to exactly master the counter for this.
You focus your own Fighting Intent in a point while drawing your bow, projecting your mental energy as a spear or arrow, dispelling the lightning bolt; opening the way for your arrow to strike. The Qi-powered arrow fly while you feel the release of your arrow echoes in a fiery <span class="mu-s">TCHACK</span>, before hitting the Thunder Steel Mask cultivator in a dull sound through the chest.
The referee darts through the field, taking away the wounded boy while you hear the audience chanting "RISING PHOENIX! HEARTPIERCER!"
Quicksteel Aris was right. Nicknames truly come around the corner faster than expected.
Meanwhile, Sin Din circles to engage the Bobcat beastgirl. Hook, line and sinker - on the form of Meying Youling unfurling completely her spirit beast.
Back at first stage, you could only discern a faint shiver in the air ended by claw when she used her Intangible strike.
This time, it feels like she unleashed her full spirit : a three meter tall, Six-headed hydra covered in chains. The heads collapse toward the crouching Bobcat.
She sommersault, dive, handstand, backflip around the attacks.
"<span class="mu-s">Kukukuku... All according to the Keikaku</span>"
The chains whirl and collapse, bounding around the opponent in their ethereal links.
Ping Jun charge on the Tiger Clawed fighter. He seems to have the upper hand, recalling his horse to avoid the spirit a nasty strike in the shank, keeping fighting unmounted. Glazed in his golden glow, he seems to outmatch his opponent in terms of skill, speed and power. He concludes his fight with a shield bash, breaking the military youth boy guard, using the momentum to turn around, following with a spinned side kick - folding the opponent as air is drawn away of him, concluded by a diagonal backhand pummel bash on the hand, knocking the opponent out.
