Gacha Summoner - Chapter 16 Preliminary

In the Yue clan’s castle, the new year tournament had officially begun.

The Yue clan had already completed its grand opening ceremony.

The emperor Jun Wu You and the clan master Elder Yue Hai had each given a brief speech, and the various representatives had also ceremonially paid their respects to each other.

The First round of preliminaries was quite boring, at least in Yue Yang’s opinion.

It can’t be helped though since the strengths of these younger generations were between level 1 [Apprentice] to level 3 [Hero] with age range between 10 to 20 years old.

The older the members were, the most their advantages apparent in term of cultivations, though some freak like Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang was destroying this common sense.

Those two people already managed to defeat the older members of Yue clan with variety of combat technique and summoned beasts.

Based on Yue Yang’s observations, even though both of them were merely at 10 years old, they already had combat strength equivalent to level 3 [Hero].

Not to mention both of them were chosen prodigy from both Royal family and Xue clan, thus they should possessed some trump card that at least will be able to defeat level 4 [Champion].

The audiences from both great clans or Da Xia cultivators were dazzled by their performances. Even though right now both of them were very weak compared to older members with cultivation above level 5 [Grandmaster], the fact that both of them managed to possessed this kind of strength at mere 10 years old already quite stupefying already.

Princess Qian Qian show variety of sword technique with a greatsword, making the audiences speechless seeing a little girl swinging a sword that was bigger than her own body.

If Princess Qian Qian’s battle style was more of brutal strength, Xue Tan Lang’s battle style was more of speed and freezing.

His movement speed alone was already very fast, but he can also freeze his opponents to immobilize them or at least slow them down, thus made the difference in their speed became more apparent.

Facing Xue Tan Lang’s high speed coupled with his freezing ability will be enough to made his opponents frustrated, more than against Princess Qian Qian, since most opponents will not even be able to retaliate.

At least against Princess Qian Qian, her opponents could at least save some face by showing their combat technique to the audience, though as a price, they will be more injured because of Princess Qian Qian’s greatsword.

The spectators can’t help but sigh since the performance of those two childs that managed to overshadow Yue clan’s younger generations even though this was Yue clan’s new year tournament.

It really can’t be helped though, after all Princess Qian Qian received the tutelage of two Heavenly Imperial Guardians whom both an Innate Rankers.

As for Xue Tan Lang, he was a proud disciple of one of the Four Great Sects, the Eastern Ocean Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, compared to dazzling performances of Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang, Yue Yang’s battle style could only be said as ordinary.

It can’t be helped though, since Yue Yang merely used [Basic Blade Technique], thus made the majority of common spectators thought that Yue Yang was weaker than both Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan lang.

It was different case for the expert. Although the technique that was displayed by Yue Yang was quite ordinary looking, the executions of each technique was very prcised with no wasted movements and strengths.

After all, Yue Yang already master this [Basic Blade Technique] to perfection since he always trained it in this one year, not to mention he also always applied this technique in the spar against Esdeath.

If both Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang’s match was akin to killing a mosquitos with sledgehammer, Yue Yang’s match was akin to kill mosquitos using a mere paper fan, in other words, he was using suitable force to deal with opponents’s strengths.

After all, both Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang were still a 10 years old, thus they were still not capable to used their strength and technique appropriately.

Meanwhile, Yue Yang already can’t improved the [Basic Blade Technique] anymore since he already trained it to perfection. After all, it was merely basic technique that was only suitable to strengthen the foundations in blade weapons, thus Yue Yang was very eager to spin gacha or browse Yue clan’s technique archives in hope to find a better technique.

Combat technique wise, Yue Yang was stronger than both Xue Tan Lang and Princess Qian Qian. However Yue Yang will not look down on them. After all their guardian beast were very strong.

Xue Tan Lang possessed rare elemental type beast ‘Violent Tornado’ that able to complemented his ice technique.

As for Princess Qian Qian, her guardian beast was more outrageous. It was a strengthening type beast ‘Western White Tiger’. In the future, this beast will be able to easily level up to Platinum rank, thus made it possessed qualifications to become Holy beast.

Right now though, Yue Yang guess that maybe this beast was already at gold rank, similar to Esdeath. However if the two of them were to fight, there was no doubt that Esdeath will win, after all Esdeath was a humanoid beast with vast battle experience.

However without Esdeath, Yue Yang will had a difficulty against Princess Qian Qian if she decided to used her beast to strengthen her own body, unless Yue Yang were to used his skills from gacha such as [Kage Bunshin no Jutsu] or movement skill [Shunpo].

At this moment, Yue Yang’s pondering were interrupted by the host’s voice.

The preliminaries was over, and now there are only fewer participants left.

“Now that the preliminaries was over, we will advance to the quarter finals. The first match will be a fight between Yue Yang vs Yue Tian!”

Yue Yang can’t helped but to take a look at the match board. There are 8 people left. If Yue Yang win against Yue Tian, he will advance to semi final against Xue Tan lang, and finally against the tigress in the final.

Yue Yang really want to curse at whoever made this match arrangements. Obviously this arrangements was made to make Yue Yang battle Xue Tan Lang and Princess Qian Qian simultaneously since both of them will never lose against the rest of participants.

At this time, Yue Yang’s thought was interrupted by a voice full of resentment.

“Yue Yang, hurry up and get here! Or what? Are you too scared to meet your doom? Don’t think that this was unfair because I had a year start in contracting grimoire. In the banquet last night you were clamouring that you will defeat Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang, but I’ll make you lose face by defeating you here first!”, shout Yue Tian with voice loud enough for the whole audiences to heard it.

Hearing this, Yue Yang’s reply was only a sneer in his face. Only dogs that will barking that loud in order to attract attentions.

Yue Yang only keep quiet and walk confidently to the match ring with steady steps, as if he didn’t hear Yue Tian’s provocations.

This contrast between them only made the audiences to shook their head and give Yue Yang higher evaluations compared to Yue Tian.

After all, this was only friendly match between clans, and Yue Tian hostile attitude toward the same clan member only made him being seen with disdain.

“Now that both participants already prepared, I hereby announce that the match begins!”

Yue Tian immediately summoned his summoned beast, while Yue Yang only stand quietly waiting for Yue Tian to finished his summoning.

Anyway, since Yue Tian decided to seek humiliation himself, Yue Yang will give it to him, in the form of one punch K.O.
