You have a bit of time to spare. Not enough to go train deeply in the waste, not when you want to watch carefully how the people in town react to your presence.
You are currently in front of the patriarch's house, with clear view in both roads out of town. With how barren the landscape is, sneaking away is a pipe dream.
"Come on, Dan Rol. Let's exchange pointers meanwhile!
- <span class="mu-r">Esteemed senior Brother must certainly be jesting!</span>
- Not at all. Friendly spars are a great way to make breakthrough actually.
I merely didn't had time to do so in the sect, it's the perfect opportunity.
- <span class="mu-r">If you say so... Forgive me for going all out!</span>
His energy flares while rushing at you.
His cultivation is more advanced than yours : he's fast and nimble.
But he seems poorly train in the fighting arts. He's bare-handed, and that seem more a default choice than a conscious one.
Grasping your training spear, you get ready to face him.
Locking him in your gaze, you start spinning your spear to keep him at a safe distance.
He's trying to closing in, with his superior speed. But he remains predictable enough for you to pace properly and sending jabs on his way.
You send a sweeping motion with your shaft, Dan Rol jumps and tries to close in, felling in your trap.
Your spear spins, the sweep's momentum turns into a stab.
Of course, you don't have the tournament's paint enchantment placed on your weapons. So you divert the strike, for the wooden training blade could still hurt.
It graze the throat of Dan Rol, letting one drop of blood pearling out of the scratch.
It's not over : you feel something.
Following your hunch, you channel Qi and Blood thread in the weapon to the drop of blood, letting a Bloodd Shadow Wolf emerging between the two of you.
>New skill - Double-Sentence thrust.
Using the Spear to channel your Qi and Blood all the way to your target's blood : a Blood-Shadow wolf emerges from a wound inflicted to your opponent.
You quickly dispel the spritual art - yet another one that can't be use in tournament ruleset, it seems. Is it some kind of sick joke from fate?
Or a life-saving boon, to collection that many trumps that will never reveal before you go seriously?
You hope not. And maybe in the older age group, it can come to use : you're pretty sure the heavy restriction placed on first stage cultivator are alleviated letting more intense fight for the higher realmed cultivators.
