Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Unaware that his master was watching him from a distance, Mo Feng continued to hone his swordsmanship. He did not bother to increase his cultivation realm as he thought that technique was more important in battle than how high one's cultivation was. Training right by his side was his wife to be Ying Yue. Unlike, Mo Feng who concentrated on swordsmanship, Ying Yue focused on increasing her own cultivation first.

Time quickly passed by and the day of the tournament finally arrived, but to Mo Feng and all the other disciples surprise, the rules of the tournament had changed.

"Due to some circumstances, the other Elders and I have decided to change some things regarding the tournament. First, we will no longer divide the battles between outer court disciples, inner court disciples, and core disciples. Next is how we decide who will fight and who will be the opponent. We will not pick who will fight who, instead it will be the disciples who get to pick who to fight. The Outer Disciples can challenge any other outer disciple, they can also challenge the inner disciples and the core disciples. If the outer disciple is able to beat a higher ranking disciple he or she would take that disciple's rank. Now the inner sect disciple could do the same, but an inner sect disciple will not be allowed to challenge an outer sect disciple. Then finally Core disciples will only be able to challenge other Core disciples. After winning one match, the winner can decide if he wants to continue or not, also the person who just won can only be challenged by another person after five matches are done. Also, if the winner of the match decides to continue to fight he would not be choosing his next opponent, instead, it would be the other disciples of the same rank who would challenge the winner. Of course, the ones who win the most battles will be given more resources and a special prize. So are there any questions?"

When the disciples heard what the Elder said some of them got nervous but most of them got even more excited than before. This was a rare opportunity for not only fame and fortune, but also a chance to leap through the Dragons gate and become a core disciple.

After a short pause and looking at the excited faces of the disciples, the Elder in charge of the matches nodded his head.

"Alright since there are no questions let's start. Now the first one to step onto the stage should be an Outer Sect Disciple. Who among you will be brave enough to stand on the stage?"

The Elder pointed at the gigantic stage. Even though the disciples were so excited a while ago none of them stepped onto the stage. The group of Outer Sect Disciples was looking at each other waiting to see who would step up first. Seeing their cowardly performance most of the Inner Sect Disciples started sneering, as for the Core Disciples who stood high above all the other disciples they were not interested in the slightest.

Seeing that no one was going up onto the stage, the Elder in charge of the matches was about to force one of the Outer Sect Disciples to take the stage, but then a hearty laugh interrupted him. A fierce-looking young man stepped forward, he wasn't large nor was he tall, he did not look strong at all, but the aura he emitted felt a little bit overpowering. The fierce-looking young man had no weapon at hand, and only wore a pair of gauntlets. As he stepped onto the stage he looked at his fellow disciples and made an announcement, his voice wasn't all that loud but it could be heard by all.

"It seems like I have the honor to be the first to stand on this stage. I Chu Fan have longed admired the incarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul who stood at the peak of all humanity. This is why I want to surpass them and become a legend of my own. So now to start my legend, I challenge Richard Tranor, the descendant of the ever-victorious Leonard Tranor who was an incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul."

Chu Fan pointed at the meditating Richard whose closed eyes opened and was now looking at Chu Fan. The disciples as well as the Elders of the Sect were quite surprised by this challenge. It was just the first match and an outer sect disciple had already challenged a Core Disciple, and it wasn't just any Core Disciple it was Richard Tranor.

Even among all the talented Core Disciples in the sect, Richard Tranor was considered to be one of the strongest. Even though he was one of the newly recruited disciples no one questioned his strength after watching him battle twice, once during the trial exam and the second time when he killed a former Core Disciple who challenged him to life and death and battle. His strength is what one would expect from a direct descendant of an incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul.

After being directly challenged Richard said nothing and simply jumped onto the stage. Everyone present had no doubts of Richard's victory, as he was at the Golden Core Realm while Chu Fan was only at the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm, they were separated by two great realms.

"So are the two of you ready?" Richard nodded his head, on the other hand, Chu Fan still had something to say.

"Richard I know that you could easily beat me by overpowering me with your higher cultivation, so how about for this match you lower your cultivation to my level? Surely a descendant of the ever-victorious Leonard Tranor would want to fight fairly."

Richard did not say anything as he simply suppressed his cultivation to the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm. Seeing him do that just made Chu Fan even more excited.

"As expected of a direct descendant, your confidence is beyond doubt. I know I'm the one who asked you to do it, but I hope you won't regret this later." Chu Fan got into a fighting stance while Richard did not even draw the two swords on his hip. Seeing Richard's actions the Elder once again asked.

"Are the two of you ready?" Richard simply nodded his head and so did Chu Fan.

"Alright then let the battle commence!"
