Chapter 55 Spirit Technique...

Basically, with the kind of constitution that Nora had, it was very not possible that Carla would win. Even though Carla was older and naturally expected to be stronger.

on top of that, Nora had the advantage of training. For a long time now, She had been trained by the elders of the can. She was practically an accumulation of several teachers. While Carla only had the teachings of the academy to guide her.

However, when Adria looked at her, he could not help but have a smile at one side of his lips. Others did not know it, but as the writer of the Novel, he did.

This Carla was very hard working. In fact, she was not only hard working, but was also very talented. This talent and hard work later on ensured that she climbed the ranks of the cultivation world very fast.

However, this was far off into the future after the inevitable destruction that was to come.

Chiron remembered that she later became quite the force to be recon with. Her past trained her temperament and she became one of the pillars that held the clan in those dark times.

Now that he thought about it, she could very well come in handy for some of his future plans, but that would mean that he needed to change the current direction her life was moving in.

A few ideas came into his head, however, he threw them to the back of his mind. At the moment, he had too many things he needed to walk on.

One of which included getting the Violet Good-will flower for his aura acquisition.

"Next match, Cablen Versus Martini." Elder Joules announced in a very loud voice.

Cablen laughed haughtily as he took to the fighting stage. His friends cheered for him as he made his way forward.

Many of them called him names and this made him push his chest out in pride.

His opponent was a boy around the same age as him. But that did not mean that the two were of the same level in fighting capabilities.

Martini had a B-graded Dantain while Cablen had an A-grade Dantain.

Although, that did not mean that Martini was a pushover. He did not come from a very wealthy family, but that did not mean that they were poor too.

His family was of the middle class. Martini showed up on the fighting ground with his sword already unsheathed. And so did cablen.

However, even before Cablen got up to the fighting ground, he had already activated his spirit energy. Apparently, he had learned a lesson from the previous fight between Carla and Nora.

Chief Dona saw this and nodded his head accordingly. He was happy to see that his son was smart enough to learn from the mistakes of others.

This was the cultivation world. Growth in the battle sense was just as important as growth in cultivation activities.

"Commence the fight!" Elder Joules announced.

However, Unlike expected, both participants did not rush immediately into battle. Instead, they roused their spiritual energy as much as possible.

Both of them were of the early wood rank. This meant that their spirit energy was a very light green-brown.

Just as their energies had reached their peaks...*Boom!*

It happened Both of them kicked against the ground and headed for each other like two raging bulls fighting for the mating rights to a cow.

*clang!*

Their swords only hit once but that was all it took for both of them to recoil back as a result of the hit.

They both stumbled back, and Cablen could not help but be surprised by this.

However, in this first hit, cablen had actually come out as the dominating fighter. While Cablen took three steps back, Martini took five before he could get himself together.

Although it was only a difference of two steps, in the world of cultivation, it was a very significant two steps.

After all, those two steps could have potentially meant the end of someone's life.

Cablen smiled and rushed in again. The voice of his friends behind him screamed for his victory. Each one of them called him proud pompous names.

However, Martini suddenly changed his footing. This was an action that Chiron's eyes followed properly. It was only a slight change in the angle at which he stood, it effectively changed his entire stance and the style he was using to fight.

*Clang!* Clang!! Clang!!!*

Sword kissed sword in unfriendly aggressive hits, and this time around the separation left the crowd surprised at the development of things.

Cablen took the same three steps back, however, Martini only took a step back before he regained his stance.

Cablen frowned and attacked again, and again, but slowly, the odds were becoming stacked against him. He was losing and at one time, he nearly fell on his butt, but had done a back flip to firmly hold his position.

Although Chiron could very much care less who won the fight, that did not mean that he wanted Cablen to win. It was quite a show to watch the class bully being beaten back, again and again.

Chiron looked closely at Martini's footwork, his stance, and how he moved his sword.

Chiron was not the only person that had his eyes on Martini. The Chief also observed closely.

Even though the Chikitsa clan was a clan, it was made by a combination of many families. Many of which over the hundreds of years of the clan's history had invented quite a number of ways to effectively use the sword.

Some have invented their own sword styles and some others had improved on that of the clan.

Martini came from a family that had its own sword style that was adapted from the sword style of the clan into an entirely different one.

It was this sword style that Martini used.

After all, every generation stands on the shoulder of those that had come before it. Martini was currently standing on the efforts of his family to display a good fighting style.

However, that alone was not a guarantee of winning a fight.

Cablen defended against an attack. He flipped back a couple of times and landed a distance away from his opponent.

His breathing had become heavy and the confident look he had on his face had morphed into a frown. More than anyone, he knew it.

He was losing. Even his friends had shut their mouths. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Cablen used the side of his eyes to look at his mother who was in charge of the match. He could see the frown on her face. For a child, the unpleasant look of a mother to her child was demoralizing.

And then, he looked at his father. Unlike his mother, his father neither frowned nor smile. The chief kept a straight face.

However, he made a slicing motion with his fingers and in seeing this, Cablen's eyes suddenly widened in the realization of what to do.

His smile once more resumed on his face, and he attacked again. This time around, just like the last, Martini's good swordplay made Cablen back off, but as he did, Cablen somersaulted in the air, and while airborne, he suddenly moved his hand in a slicing motion.

"Iron Slash!"

the moment he said that A wave of spirit energy left his sword and headed right for Martini.

*Swoosh!*

The wave of spirit energy took everybody by surprise. But more importantly...

*CLANG!!!*

Martini only barely defended against hit with his sword, but it still sent him flying.

Martini fell on his ass and his sword fell off his grip.

He felt a pain that made him groan loudly.

However, he still tried to reach for his sword which had fallen not so far away from him.

It was too late.

Cablen kicked the sword away as he pointed his blade at Martini's neck.

Cablen won, but it was not the fact that he won that surprised the students but the technique he had used.

At the current stage of the student's training, none of them could use techniques.

However, Cablen just used a technique.

Many of them found it incredible, but not Chiron.

But since he came to this world, this was actually the first time he was seeing the use of a technique.

A technique as the name implied was a unique method of using energy.

The difference between just using spirit energy in a fight and using a technique made by spirit energy was like the difference between using water and clay to make mud and using mud to mold a pot.

One of them was quite simply mixing water and clay, but the other required proficient training in the skill.

It was not at all an easy thing to do.

of course everyone knew of it. But this was the first time any of them was seeing it.

"Cable Wins." Elder Joules announced.

"Next, will be..."

"Wait!" Cablen stopped her mid announcement. And then he pointed to Chiron. "I want to fight him..."
