"Who or what are you?"Turning around to look her straight in the eyes, Mesa just smiled at her and told her: "Me, I am just an ordinary guy with lots of weird powers. But I am one that will elevate the Frozen Cloud Asgard to the rank of Sacred Ground. And I am the one, who will destroy the Sacred Grounds."
Hearing his declaration to destroy the Sacred Grounds, Chu Yueli felt like laughing at this ridiculous statement. That is, if she didn"t witness Mesa doing all those crazy things during the tournament. But she also couldn"t believe him. For who can, the Four Sacred Grounds were held to the highest esteem on the Profound Sky Continent and they were the epitome of power. Many had aspirations to ascend to their level, but none could ever match their level. Anyone who had any potential to ascend to their level, was either taken in by one of the Four Sacred Grounds or killed by them to ensure their place. But with the reputation of the Four Sacred Grounds, everyone who was offered to join them, immediately obliged and they rarely, if ever resorted to killing. And this was the status quo, for anyone who could ascend, was either absorbed by one of the Four Sacred Ground or killed off.
But to Mesa, the Four Sacred Grounds were the last hurdle he"d cross before he went to the G.o.d"s Realm. The threat of being killed off by them excited him rather than frightened him.
"You have got to be kidding, right. There is no way the Frozen Cloud Asgard can become as powerful as one of the Four Sacred Grounds. And there is no way you can destroy them, they"re too powerful." Said Chu Yueli in a tone filled with a little fear. Cause if anyone heard what Mesa said, she and the Frozen Cloud Asgard could be targeted and killed off, simply for being a.s.sociated with Mesa.
"Hahahaha…. Don"t you worry about that. I am already the one who will put the Four Sacred Grounds in their place and help the Frozen Cloud Asgard ascend. It is merely just a matter of time before it happens. Yes, the Four Sacred Grounds will resist. But by the time they"ll recognize me as a legitimate threat to their status quo, it"ll be too late. I will already be there to destroy them and there would be nothing they could to stop it." Said Mesa confidently.
Listening to Mesa talk like that, Chu Yueli just wanted to create as much distance between them as possible and make sure she wasn"t anywhere near him when the Four Sacred Grounds inevitably came down on him. But looking at her elder sister, she didn"t see any skepticisms or ridicule towards him. She saw in her elder sister"s eyes that she believed him. SHE BELIEVED HIM! How could she?!
"Elder Sister, how can you believe him?! If the Four Sacred Grounds hear about this, they can come after us!" Said Chu Yueli in a panicky way.
"Simple. I have seen what he is truly capable of. And I reckon that what I saw, wasn"t even all of it. Am I correct in a.s.suming that?" Said Chu Yuechan to Mesa, who responded with a smile and a simple…

"Yes."
"If what Elder Sister said is true, then what are you capable of?" Said Chu Yueli apprehensively.
"All will be revealed in due time. And let me tell you. By that time, the Four Sacred Grounds will look weak by comparison." Said Mesa confidently, before he got up from the table, ready to go back to his room.
"Wait! Now that you have the Frozen Cloud Arts within you, I have to make sure to tell you that you have to come with us back to the Frozen Cloud Asgard. I may not be in a position to judge you two, but Asgard Mistress is and she has the right to know this." Said Chu Yueli to Mesa just before he teleported away, making him stop in his tracks and look up at her.
"Sure, I"ll come with you. I can"t elevate the Frozen Cloud Asgard to the rank of Sacred Ground without ever stepping foot in it anyways. Ohh, right. Before I go, I have to give you this." Said Mesa as he took out a piece of paper and gave it to Chu Yuechan. Chu Yuechan, who looked at the paper and saw nothing on it, was confused why he"d give it to her.
"I know this piece of paper may not look like it, but it"s a very important piece of paper. So make sure you keep it with you. This piece of paper is called a Vivre Card. It is a special waterproof and fireproof paper that will move towards the pieces that have torn off from each other." Said Mesa as he showed her a bigger piece of Vivre Card paper and showed them how it moves on its own towards the piece of Vivre Card he gave to Chu Yuechan.
"These Vivre Card pieces will always move to this original Vivre Card. This way, you"ll always know in which direction I am. But more importantly, these Vivre Card are a representation of the owner"s life force. If my life force starts to fade away, the paper will represent that by burning. So if anything happens to me, just check the Vivre Card. If it starts to burn, it will mean my life force is fading. If it"s okay, it"ll mean I"m okay as well." Said Mesa before he teleported away.
After he had left, Chu Yueli was once again alone with her sister, who was looking at the Vivre Card in her hand before she tucked it away. Looking over at her sister, she saw that she was happy. She hadn"t seen her this happy, since they were taken in by the current Asgard Mistress back when they were children and they had nowhere to go. At first hesitating to ask her, but she eventually managed to work up the courage.
"Elder Sister… where did you two go earlier on?" Asked Chu Yueli apprehensively. Though she knew what the answer most likely was, she desperately wanted her sister to tell her otherwise.
"We went back to our cabin in the woods in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range and the rest. Well, you can imagine for yourself what happened." Said Chu Yuechan in a sly tone. Chu Yueli, who didn"t know how to respond to that, was frozen in place and staring at Chu Yuechan and not saying a word.
"Come on, go back to your room. It"s getting late. If you have any kind of questions for me, ask them tomorrow. I will answer any question you might have." Said Chu Yuechan as she guided Chu Yueli out of the room and went back to bed.
Back at his room, Mesa saw that a clone was there as well. But the surprising thing was, this clone was beaten up.
"What the h.e.l.l happened to you?" Asked Mesa.
"… Cang Yue happened to me. After I teleported to her room, she immediately started beating me up for that little stunt we pulled today during out match. Not like I blame her, but with that Strength of a Hundred Seal, her punches hurt like h.e.l.l. But I gave her a piece of Vivre Card as planned." Said clone Mesa before he dissipated. After the memories of the clone flowed into him, he saw exactly what happened. Right after he teleported to her room, Cang Yue embraced him and was initially just crying and clinging to him. But after a few moments, she started to get really mad at him and in a fit of rage, she was unable to properly control her strength and started beating him up. Though he didn"t stop her, he did feel the power behind her punches and they were not soft to say the least. After that, he apologized to her for what he had done and gave her the Vivre Card afterwards. He told her that should anything ever happen to him, all she had to do was check this Vivre Card and she would know if he was alive or not.

The Next Day
The tournament proceeded at usual, the first match was between Heavenly Sword Villa"s Ling Jie and Heavenly Sword Villa"s Ling Feiyu. The atmosphere wasn"t through the roof anymore for the disciples of the Four Major Sects. The highlight of today matches was the fourth and final match for today, the match between Blue Wind Imperial Family"s Mesa Uchiha and Burning Heaven Clan"s Fen Juebi.
Ling Jie went on stage first and crossed his hands over his chest. He drew back the corners of his mouth slightly and looked unafraid. After quite some time, Ling Feiyu finally went onto stage and stood in front of Ling Jie. He looked somewhat conflicted.
"The two of you have been sparring so often. This time, are you both sure that you want to compete?" Ling Wugou asked as he stood outside the barrier. As an elder, he was very clear about the skill levels of the Villa"s young disciples.
Hearing his question, the people below the stage completely understood what it meant. The difference in strength between these two people must be very large. In their usual spars, they would always end up with one side completely suppressing the other. Even if they were to compete again, it would be impossible for a second outcome to happen, and they would merely be wasting their time.
Hearing Lin Wugou"s words, Ling Jie actually did not have that big of a reaction. However, the corner of Ling Feiyu"s lips moved, a slight struggle appeared in his eyes, and then, he finally sighed, and said. "Fine, I surrender."
WHOAA——
The people below the stage instantly widened their eyes one after the surrender
The one who took the initiative to surrender was not Ling Jie who merely possessed a strength level at the level 6 Spirit Profound Realm...
But, Ling Feiyu, who had easily smashed his way through into the Quarterfinals with his strength level 9 Spirit Profound Realm!
Next up was the second match for the day: Heavenly Sword Villa"s Ling Yun vs Frozen Cloud Asgard"s Shui Wushuang. This was a match that was decidedly in Ling Yun"s favor from the get go.
Wushuang, you can surrender this match if you want." Chu Yueli suddenly said as Shui Wushuang was about to leap up onto the Sword Discourse Arena. Shui Wushuang went silent for a moment, but did not dispute it. Instead, she softly said: "Yes."
"Three years ago, your Senior Sister Mu"s strength had far surpa.s.sed the current you, yet suffered a crushing defeat to Ling Yun. Three years had pa.s.sed since then and Ling Yun"s strength has risen sharply again. You are simply not his match. As long as you"re even a little serious about it, you will be injured all over and lose in less than five moves. Since it"s like that, you would be better off simply backing out."
While letting what others saw as their "core disciple" abandon the match, Chu Yueli had actually said that with a particular calmness, she did not reveal the slightest hint of unwillingness and regret. Perhaps, this was merely a simple insignificant decision.
"Yes, Junior Master, Disciple understands." Shui Wushuang slowly nodded, and then returned to her seat.
Ling Wugou then declared: "Frozen Cloud Asgard"s Shui Wushuang forfeits the match, Heavenly Sword Villa"s Ling Yun wins by default and will be entering tomorrow"s Semifinals.
Next up was the third match for the day: Frozen Cloud Asgard"s Xia Qingyue vs Xiao Sect Xiao Kuanglei.
"Third match of the Quarterfinals —— Frozen Cloud Asgard"s Xia Qingyue versus Xiao Sect"s Xiao Kuanglei! May the two contestants enter the Sword Discourse Arena within 30 second. If they are not present within 30 seconds, it will be deemed as forfeiting the match!" Thundered Elder Ling Wugou voice, announcing the third match of the day.
