Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chiron was flung like a kite without a string some distance away.

The seal on Willow's body had protected her from that attack. This was something that although surprised him, was still expected.

After all, If the Chikitsa clan could make a protective seal on their own genius, then it only made sense that someone like Willow who was a pampered daughter of the chief of the clan would have a seal on her body. In fact, if she didn't have one, it would have been even more surprising.

The seal had saved her life. This made both her mother and father relax a little.

That seal on their daughter had the defensive strength of a cultivator in the Copper realm. there was no way someone at the stone realm could crack it open.

With this, her life had been saved.

Slowly, Willow stood to her feet.

She had felt the heavy hit of devil's touch. Even though the cut had not made it to her flesh as a result of the seal protecting her body, that did not mean that the force of it was negated completely.

She had still felt a good chunk of it.

After all, Devil's touch weighed a ton.

Just dropping the sword on her body would have not been a smiling matter, but Chiron had to do it with such force that it literally doubled the weight of the sword.

She stood up slowly. She used her sword a walking stick as she breathed heavily.

Sweat dripped from her forehead like little raindrops from the sky before the main storm.

Her hair was already wet with her sweat. Whether it was from the effort she had put into the fight from the very beginning or it was from fear of almost Joining Jan Jan in the yellow river was not known.

However, it was obvious that she had lost the bout.

Willow raised her head, and she subconsciously looked around. Even though it was a crowd and their conversations amongst themselves formed noise, as a cultivator, she could still use her spiritual energy to filter their words.

She could hear it. From some came disappointment. From some others came mockery and some others came displeasure.

"Are you sure she is really a genius?"

"At this point, I really doubt it. She can't even defeat a Tamashi trash with no cultivation."

"Hmmm! They only call her a genius because of her status as the daughter of the chief."

"Hahah! What were we to expect? that is all she can ever amount to."

"Wait a minute! If she cannot defeat the trash, doesn't that mean that she is also trash!?"

As the words flowed into her head, they hammered continually at her heart.

Everyone was harder and more piercing than the former one.

She subconsciously thought back to her life so far. She was born as the sixth child to a family of all girl children.

However, unlike her elder sisters that were comfortable with being married off and living peaceful lives with their husbands regardless of their cultivation talent, she wanted to train and become stronger.

She learnt at an early age that only the strong could conquer the world. She wanted to be like her mother.

In a world where women were looked down upon, she wanted to climb to the top like her mother had done and if possible, go past the realm of becoming chief.

This was her goal. No! it was her dream.

Regardless of the fact that she was called a genius because she was born with a dantain that was A-grade.

She had still cultivated day and night.

She had also gone out of her way to issue challenges to those stronger than herself. She would even sneak out in the night to go and practice.

It was true that her actions caused problems for her mother who was chief many times, but that was not necessarily a bad thing. Expectiacially since she was growing stronger.

This was why she had immediately looked for Nora and challenged her the moment she came into the Chikitsa clan. She wanted to show that she was capable of being the best.

And even better, she wanted to prove to the world that even though she was tagged as a genius, she worked harder than those so called geniuses.

However, here she was before her first opponent in an event she had looked forward to for a long time, and she had lost regardless of the fact that she had attacked first.

Chiron was dressed in normal robes. However, the wind still blew from time to time, and from the clauses on his hand and the scars that appeared on his body when his clothes moved, She could see it clearly.

This boy that the whole world had been looking down upon had worked hard to reach the state that he currently was.

Such strength was what she admired.

If they had met under different circumstances, she might have even asked to be his friend just so that she could train along side him.

However, they had met in this arena as opponents.

She raised her head to him. She needed to defeat him. If she could defeat such a strong opponent, then she would be acknowledged.

She needed to become like her mother. She raised her head to her mother and then to her father. She could see the worry in their eyes.

And then she could see as her mother shook her head.

this was a sign that she should not continue the fight.

This lack of faith her mother had in her pushed her to a state of pure vexing.

Even if one used a defence seal, it was regarded as one's own power. In the same way that even though Chiron did not have cultivation but was assumed that his sword gave him strength and he was allowed to use it.

The only reason it was different in Nora's case, was because she fainted.

However, Willow was still willing to continue the battle.

She pointed her sword to Chiron to continue.

Chiron smiled, "you are really stubborn! just know, I don't repeat mistakes..."
