"We withdraw from the tournament." The ancestor of the Kuraha family said as she gritted her teeth.
The Kuraha family could not take any more insult and decided to withdraw from the tournament.
However, after that, all the sects participating in the tournament withdrew. In the end, only four participants remained - the royal family, the Blue Moon sect, The Lu family and the Wu family.
The Wu family was chosen to face the Blue Moon sect but they quit the moment Yin took their name.
And the surprising thing was that even the Lu family quit. It looked as though the host of the Black tiger had made quite a mess the last time she fought and people were now afraid of her.
So with that, only two participants remained and it was time for the finals that will take place after a day of rest.
The Blue Moon sect returned back to the hotel and Kai spent the rest of the day thinking about what was happening on the northern continent.
Just to make sure that his theory was correct, he checked Mia's memory and there were no traces of her being on the northern continent. Her memories of the mortal cultivation world began when she regained her soul in that forest on the western continent.
"Let's just wait for tommorrow and win that tournament and then I am finally going to rescue Risea." Kai said with certainty as dawn arrived.
The sect woke up and got prepared to start the day. After they were ready, Kai teleported all of them to the arena.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the finale of the Black Tiger tournament!" Yin announced as the two finalist teams went down to the arena floor
"Let's see who they are going to send in first." Kai said as he looked at Watanabe who was organising the royal family members participating in the tournament.
Watanabe then flew up to Yin and whispered something in her ear. Yin nodded as Watanabe flew back to her pavilion where Asahi was causally watching the arena with a mysterious smile.
"The royal family has decided to send in their best fighter. Please welcome, the host of the black tiger!" Yin announced as a girl wearing white robes and a foolproof veil went up the stage.
"Was she wearing a veil the last time too?" Kai asked Riang who nodded.
"I can't sense her cultivation." Mariel commented as she frowned at the girl.
"Of course you can't. She is supposed to be at the 10th stage of heaven spirit realm." Kai replied.
"I want to fight her." Kiana suddenly said as Kai smiled at her.
"Even though you are two stages behind her, you still want to fight her. Well, nobody is stopping you so go on." Kai said as Kiana slowly nodded and took a deep breath before walking up towards the stage.
"It looks as though the Blue Moon sect is sending Kiana, the long lost princess!" Yin announced as the crowd cheered.
[ So you are the host of pure white tiger. Kuro told me about you. ] The princess said in an amused tone as she summoned the black tiger.
The audience had already seen it before so they clapped loudly and cheered for the princess. But Kiana just smiled at her and summoned the pure white tiger.
"I don't think that's how you greet your older sister." Kiana said as the crowed became silent. The only sound that was heard was of the two tigers growling at each other.
"P-Please start the match." It looked as though even Yin was shocked as her voice shook a little.
'You didn't tell anyone about the pure white tiger huh.' Kai though as Watanabe winked at him.
Kiana and the princess simultaneously released their cultivation as the tigers launched themselves at each other.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky as the two tigers called upon the power of lightning. While the tigers were fighting each other, Kiana and the princess aslo launched themselves at each other.
Purple lightning started to dance around the princess as she moved towards Kiana who also summoned lightning to protect.
Kiana blocked her attack as a deafening sound filled the entire arena. The audience covered their ears as a ringing sound started to echo in their ears.
But Kiana and the princess didn't stop as both of them started rising. Kiana devides to attack first and she launched a lightning dragon at the princess.
Nobody would have been able to hear this because of the fight but Kai clearly heard the princess laugh.
The lightning dragon suddenly stopped it's assault as it reached in front of the princess. Suddenly, the dragon started to vanish as the princess lifted a finger and started sucking the dragon.
The dragon lost its form and raw electricity entered the princess's body. The crowd then remembered that they were supposed to cheer for the contestants and started cheering the princess.
[ Goodbye, big sister. ] The princess sent a spiritual message to Kiana who frowned.
The princess then summoned the black tiger and the lightning around her started to change its color.
The lightning turned completely black as the princess launched a black lightning dragon at Kiana.
The pure white tiger, sensing that his host was in danger, appeared in front of Kiana. White lightning shot out from his body as it tried to destroy the black lightning dragon.
But it was a futile attempt as the black lightning dragon crushed the pure white tiger and an explosion took place and smoke covered the entire area.
After the smoke cleared, the pure white tiger had vanished and Kiana was nowhere to be seen.
"Even though shiro blocked the attack for me, I still got some major damage. The least I could do is remove this veil and see your face." Kiana said as she appeared behind the princess and removed her veil.
Everyone there gasped as they saw her appearance. Silky white hair and crystal clear white eyes with flushed red cheeks.
Her face was as beautiful as a goddess as she looked at Kiana who sprawled on the ground and her hands were full of blood as she was covering her wounds.
Riang also stared at the princess with a look of awe but she was worried about Kiana. She expected Kai to move and heal Kiana but when he didn't, she looked at him and she was shocked to see his face.
Kai was frozen on his place, his eyes widened in shock. Mariel was no different as she too stared at the princess with wide eyes and an open jaw.
"Levina[1]." Both of them mumbled at the same time as they glanced at the elemental ruler of lightning.
Kai then looked at Kiana and vanished too pick up. He then healed her wounds and dropped her with the rest of the sect.
"She is the elemental ruler of lightning. Lightning that is weaker than her lightning will be sucked up by her body and will be converted into spiritual energy that can be used by her." Kai said to Mia as she looked at Levina in amazement.
"Sorry but I will have to restrain you." Kai said as Mariel's body suddenly froze.
"But I have to fight her and bring her back." Mariel said as she tried to move her body but was not able to do so.
"Sorry but you both can't defeat her because she has a perfect bond with this world's elemental spirit and that enhances her power by many folds." Kai declined her request.
"But don't worry. I am going to bring her back because that's the whole point of my life now." Kai said to Mariel as she stopped struggling.
She looked directly into Kai's eyes and nodded as he smiled and released her. She was finally able to move her body and glanced at Levina.
[ The elemental rulers were extremely close. You can consider them as sisters. That's why she is so hasty to get Levina back. ] Kai supplied to Mia as she nodded.
[ But you are not hasty to get her back? ] Mia asked him.
[ I, too, am hasty to get her back. But the only difference is that it doesn't show up on the outside. ] Kai replied with a smile before walking up to the stage.
"At last, we finally meet. Let's start with introductions. My name is Levina." Levina said as she thoroughly examined Kai's body while he just stared into her eyes.
"My name is Kai and I am pleased to meet you, Levina." Kai said with a handsome smile as the audience started whispering.
It looked as though Levina was taken back by surpirse but she soon started laughing. She then stopped laughing but a smile was still visible on her face.
"You really are interesting. Nobody calls me by name since I am the host of the white, or as you have seen, the black tiger. But you just called me by my name which is cool." Levina said as she extended her hand.
Kai shook it as he stepped back. As soon as Yin gave the signal, Kai and Levina vanished and met each other in the middle of the stage as a huge ripple of power went through the entire arena.
