Exiled Clan - 71 Event starts

KNOCK KNOCK!

Rudra woke up from his sweet sleep, hearing the knocking on the door.

Rudra opened the door to gaze at a pockmarked youth who seemed a smile at him, “Elder the event is going to start in an hour.”

Rudra nodded his head pretending to hear, after a minute he closed the door as he went back to get ready for the event.

He changed to the Blue robes of the Spirit Ocean Sect his long black hair dropped onto his back.

Gazing out the window, the sun slowly rose overhead, and it seemed to be approaching noon.

Rudra walked out into the busy streets of the town making while activating his Omniscient Eye, checking out every youth walking down the street.

Rudra had determined that he would accept any disciple who had even a tinge of affinity for water into his sect. Rudra planned to use hacks to overpower most of them.

“hehe! even if they have little affinity for water I will hack an Immortal Spirit into them causing their Water cultivation to go smoothly.” Rudra thought to himself.

DING! Rudra heard a large bell ringing produced by the organizers of the event signifying its start.

Entering the area where a crowd was gathered to observe the event, and numerous competitors were queuing for their chance.

Rudra made his way onto the platform where all the elders were sitting in a semicircular arrangement, there were various circles drawn on the ground where the competitors would fight.

While the elders sitting above the platform would judge these participants and accept any of them into their sect. Rudra sat in a chair as guided by the same pockmarked man from before.

“Elder if you find someone suitable to join the sect you shall let me know.”

“What happens if two different elders want the same person to join their sect?” Rudra asked the young man.

“Then it would be the fortune of the man in question to choose from the sects that have invited him.” the pockmarked man replied sincerely.

“Mmmm!” Rudra slowly nodded his head as he turned his attention towards the fields below,

“I would like to thank all the Exalted Elders who have graced us with their presence today.” an old man stood in the middle of all the circles drawn as he used his amplified voice to address the crowd gathered.

“Our young prince is very caring for his subjects…” the old man proceeded to boast about the efforts of the prince appointed here to the public gathered.

After half an hour of blabbering Old Man finally declared the event as open,

Numerous referees who would judge each match entered into their respective circles. They were in charge of declaring the matches and protecting the competitors from getting seriously harmed.

“Intentional use of excessive force to deal a life-threatening injury to the opponent would be considered punishable, use of weapons is forbidden this includes the use of hidden weapons.” the old man in the center continued to tell the rules to the competitors.

Rudra felt a gaze burning at him as he turned to look around seeing every other elder staring at him after it was granted, he was a stranger to this motley group of elders. Most of whom he recognized as the same as the ones he saw at the event in Pine Leaf Town.

“May I ask which sect Mister belongs to?” Finally one of the elders opened his mouth,

“I am a newly appointed elder in the branch sect of the Spirit Ocean Sect.” the other elders whispered amongst themselves pretending to not care about the matter but Rudra who had significant mental strength could easily hear them jeering at the mention of him being an elder.

“Ah, then Mister must be the representative of your..?” the man from before continued.

“Yes, I am representing my newly established branch to take part in this event,” Rudra said as he flashed the token provided to him after he had taken up this mission.

After some time the elders lost their interest in him and started to talk amongst themselves.

Rudra sighed feeling all the attention divert from himself, but he still felt some figures looking at him, he turned his head to access those people realizing it was the familiar Shin, an unfamiliar woman who had her face hidden behind a veil and the person he didn’t want to attract any attention from, Iclyn.

Rudra nodded his head, greeting all three of them one by one, causing both ladies to avert their eyes feeling it was rude to stare. Except for Shin who walked towards him presumably hoping to catch up with his Uncle Rudra.

Rudra patted Shin who was about to greet him, “Not bad kid you have already reached the peak of Qi condensation.”

Shin felt embarrassed but he let Rudra who looked the same age as him, act like a member of the elder generation.

“So, How goes the sect life for ya?” Rudra asked Shin standing beside him, as they both stared into the fields where the first round was about to start.

“Omniscient Eye” Rudra activated the technique ready to cheat this event out
