The round ended uneventfully as Xin fought with a person at 20th position and defeated them with a single slash. The 15 students who hadn't lost a single match surrounded Mr Paul,Every class ranking competition would always reach a situation where the number of students were odd number and could not be split evenly,It was up to the teacher to do whatever they want from that stage. And that is either they remove someone or add someone,And Mr Paul's choice was"Grey join 'em". Nobody objected to this, grey was more than qualified to be in the top 15... I mean 16 in their class.
The same process as the other round was repeated but this time the number was 1 to 8. Ben's number was 8 this time but Ben wasn't sure he could win this round. Why you ask? It's because everyone in the top 16 was ranked about 1 to 20 in the former ranking. If one was to ask him the percentage of his confidence in beating the others,he would first curse them then say' About 20%'. This round was going to be hard. The two people that were fighting against each other first were Becca and another guy named Drake.
[Name:Becca Reiss
Rank: Elementary stage;9
Status; Neutral
Element:Water,Wood,plant(triple awakened)
"...!!!!!?????" Ben was dumbfounded. He and Becca were classmates and she was very popular so it was natural that he knew that she was multi awakened, but that was exactly why he was dumbfounded. Throughout the three years they have been classmates, Becca only showed two of her abilities and that was water and wood. Who knew she had plant element!! Her opponent Drake was also impressive he was the top third in the last ranking with lightning ability. His ranking already explained his ability and more impressive was unlike Becca, Grey, and Xin , he didn't come from a big family but he came from a ordinary home and worked his way up to glory. Two of them few metres apart stared at each other. Becca had with her a thin sword and Drake had a battle axe with him. The axe was massive and the same height as drake. It was surprising that someone as thin as him would go for such a ummm massive weapon. It was also worth mentioning that drake has the same cultivation as Becca
*************
"Start!!!"
After the instruction was received. Both of them became lingering shadows as with a quick draw , Becca elegantly slashed her sword. Drake didn't relent and swung his axe too, not showing the cute girl any mercy
' What a evil fellow he didn't even hesitate when swinging the axe at her beautiful figu....*Cough* I mean her small figure ' Ben thought at the side.
[.....]
The system was to lazy to roast him so it kept quiet but Ben was sure he heard a snort.
- - - - - - -
A lighting coated axe was being swung at a sex... *Cough* poor little girl on the arena. But it seems this girl wasn't so poor.
*Boom*
The arena floor cracked as a wooden pillar protruded out of it. Hitting Drake right in the stomach. The students and even Mr Paul was bewildered. Elementary rank cultivators couldn't manipulate their elements outside their body that's why most elementary rank cultivators just use coating techniques and coat their body or weapon with their element. Skilled cultivators like Xin could use ice slashes which involves coating her sword with ice then releasing the energy. She couldn't do stuff like manupulating the angle of the ice after sending the ice slash out. But what Becca did just broke the others mind as she manipulated her wood after sending it out. Drake was sent flying a few metres and the weight of the axe didn't help at all. But Drake wasn't easy to bully if not how would he get to his current position. He fought against the force pushing him back and after skidding a few meters he raised his axe and swung it down forcefully
[Lightning Slash!!!]
A arc of blue snake like lightning formed and swarmed towards Becca
[Water screen]
A blue thin screen of water materialized in Becca's front and the lightning hit it with full force. Becca jumped backwards because
Water+lightning=Boom
Sparks filled the air at first after the lightning hit the water screen but after a few seconds.....
*Boom*
A small sized explosion occured and smoke spread quickly. Becca's figure vanished in the smoke and...
[Water bullets!!]
Streams of condensed water bullets came towards Drake quickly. The smoke covered his vision but due to the direction of were the water bullets came from he could tell Becca's position.
[Lightning dance!!]
He used a lightning footwork and dodged the bullets quickly approaching the direction the bullets came from. But no one was there....
*Crack*
Drake looked down and saw a seed there "...!!" He raised his leg and a bad premonition came over him.
••••••••••••••
A vine shot out from the seed and twirled round Drake's leg then went towards his body and settled at his neck. The sharp tip of the vine was pointed towards Drake's neck and at the same time a voice rang out "I've won". Becca appeared
"Y-you have plant element?"
Drake stuttered in surprise
"Yup what about it? "Becca replied. The smoke had cleared so all the students could see what was happening now so they also heard the question and the reply
"..."
The students look at the scene dumbfounded
"Yup what about it?.....Fuck she's even more domineering than me' Ben muttered. He looked at Xin and Grey expression and saw that they were nonchalant about the whole thing. "So they already knew?" Ben thought. Everyone was so amazed at Becca being triple awakened that they missed the exquisite control she had over her plant. But not Mr Paul he squinted his eye and thought 'This girl his her ability well she is also very talented....Her talent is comparable to Xin and that pretty boy' he thought. "Becca Wins!!" Mr Paul announced. Soon the rest fought and now it was time for Ben's fight and since he was the last person his opponent was also the last person and he was able to know who his opponent was...Grey!
