The Top 16 ended, and now it was time for the top 8.

The very first battle was between Ning and Jan. Ning wasn't the least bit surprised when he got one of the Dazzling sect disciples to fight.

There were 3 of them, so the chances of him having to fight them were nearly 50 percent. Ning walked onto the stage and saw the man and his sword ready to fight.

Ning just smiled and looked sideways to check their sect leader Mallus. He gave him a little nod before casually walking forward.

The man was ready with his sword, but he was also afraid that Ning was going to call out his bird. The bird was too strong for him and did not want to fight it again.

"W—What are you doing? Don't come closer," he shouted, worried that Ning was getting close to summon his bird at close range and attack him.

However, Ning kept on walking forward. Seeing that he was not listening to him, Jan decided to attack Ning while the bird wasn't out.

"HAH!" he shouted and swung the sword at Ning.

Ning caught the sword with his bare hand. It cut a little into his palm, but that was the extent of the damage. "Not bad," Ning said. "But now it's my turn."

He swung his fist and hit the side of the sword, trying to break it in half, but the most he was able to do was bend it. That was still enough to scare the soul out of Jan's body.

The bent sword fell to the ground with a little 'ting' sound and Ning grabbed his shoulders with both hands. He forced him to sit down. He then used Telekinesis to pull out just his tongue forward so he couldn't speak.

Ning then called out Aegis. "Remember him? He was the one that attacked you so much back in the forest," Ning reminded him.

"Now, it's your time for revenge."

Aegis seemed to somewhat understand what Ning said and also remembered what happened. He remembered the barrage of attacks he had to suffer while being unable to complete his master's orders.

Aegis got angry.

SLASH

He scratched Jan's face with his sharp claw, and then scratched from the other side with the second claw, followed by the third claw and then the fourth claw. Then, he repeated by scratching with his first claw again.

SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH

Jan's face was bloody, with blood dripping all over his orange robes. In the end, Aegis used his horn to stab him through the herd. Just then, the talisman glowed and he made it out.

However, he still had a bloody face and needed quick treatment. Ning looked towards Mallus with a smile and nodded.

Ning didn't bother with the next two fights. Just from the cultivation base, he knew that the two Dazzling sect disciples would win it.

The last one was a mystery, but soon that too was cleared when one of the two fighters turned out to have an excellent armor that blocked most of the damage done to him.

Finally, the Top 4 started. The people remaining were Ning, Gai, Faran, and the guy with the armor. When the match was decided, Ning smiled.

His next opponent was Gai.

Before that, Faran and the other guy fought. Everyone expected the fight to last a while, but that was only because they didn't seem to realize how strong Faran was. He had been acting very lowkey and not using any flashy attacks to draw attention.

Nings 22 thousand points acted as the shadow that hid the impressiveness of Faran's 10 thousand points. People somehow forgot that there was a reason his points were so high.

The moment the fights started, Faran surprisingly took out a spear for the first time. Until now, he had been fighting with a sword, and while he wasn't great at it, he wasn't that bad either.

Now that he took out the spear, they finally realized why he was bad at the sword. That wasn't his weapon of choice at all.

When the spear came out, both Ning and Gai reacted with a surprised look. The shaft of the spear was ocean blue in color, while the blade was made up of a long metallic silver-colored metal.

"Why does brother Faran have that?" Gai asked in surprise.

"So, that's where it went," Ning said in understanding.

Faran's opponent got ready to fight and rushed at him. He believed that with his armor, Faran couldn't hurt him at all. Faran took a deep breath and sent a spear slash towards his opponent.

Before the opponent could even react, he turned into yellow light and disappeared. Faran kept his spear back and walked off of the stage.

Ning smirked and stood up. He then looked towards Gai who also stood up and walked towards the stage.

Gai seemed to be wary about Ning after seeing his fight with Jan. Anyone that could bend a low-grade spirit weapon in half with a single punch was definitely not normal.

Gai took out his spear and cautiously got into a stance. Ning however, didn't take out anything. He instead simply walked towards Gai at a slow pace as he did with Jan.

He had a really hard time fighting against Gai when his ribs were hurting back on the 3rd day. However, now he was perfectly fine, his system was back and he had also broken through.

He was in the best position he could be in.

His bloodlust was returning after seeing Gai, but unlike last time, he was able to keep it in check. Still, he wouldn't mind hearing little cries.

However, just as he was about to start his attack, he heard the most rage-inducing words from the man he had heard yet.

"I forfeit," Gai shouted out his surrender before the match could even properly take place. The referee accepted and the match was ended.

Ning couldn't help but get annoyed at how anti-climactic this round was.
