With all four quarter-final matches taking place at once on the four stages in the arena, the audience was split on the decision of which match to focus on.
Most opting to watch Liao Wei, the dark house's match, the real Liao Wei received news from one of his new subordinates about how famous his name had become.
"Sir. Sir. You are famous," one of the Black Dragon Group Members called out as they showed him a video of himself fighting in an arena.
Even he was confused by how handsome, toned and young he looked in the video and despite how different they appeared as a whole, the facial features were identical to his own.
How was that even possible?
"Do I have a long lost twin?"
But that still didn't explain how they were much younger? How he didn't know them? And how the hell they were so skilled and amazing at fighting?
Then it hit him.
"It must be Adam. Somehow he is using my face to take part in the tournament," he exclaimed in realisation.
He had mixed feelings about it, and couldn't decide whether it was a good or bad thing for him, but either way, he couldn't complain to Adam about it and it wasn't like he could do anything about it.
However, he couldn't help but become interested in how everything would turn out.
There were barely any recordings or pictures of the tournament, with the Martial Arts Union being very strict about their confidentiality, but from what he had seen, Adam seemed to be doing very well in the tournament, just like had expected.
And since it wasn't something he could watch remotely on TV, he instructed his subordinate to report news of everything that happened to him, especially everything around himself.
Meanwhile, Adam, disguised as Liao Wei, was looking his opponent directly in the eyes as they looked each other up and down.
It was the quarter-final, and they had everything to lose in the battle, with Adam's opponent taking it much more seriously than he was.
After that, all that was left was the semi-final and final, then they would be qualified for the national tournament, which was famed and known throughout the country.
It was an achievement and impressive enough to just get into the national tournament and even the regional tournament, which was why Adam's opponents so far had fought so hard to win, with some even burning their life force to try to win.
Although forbidden, there were many discrete ways to do so and also take boosting pills for sudden strength enhancements, but each and every time, Adam would defeat his opponents effortlessly.
Now he was faced with someone who had watched closely and had caught his eye, the Scarlet Swordmaster.
She had bright red hair that weirdly seemed to be her natural hair colour, since even her eyelashes were red, and her sword skills were very impressive.
And what caught Adam's eye the most was how fast and beautiful her sword strikes were, with each of them leaving behind only a scarlet blur, which was where she had gotten her nickname from.
One of the first female opponents Adam had faced so far in the tournament, with not many participating in this region, she had impressed Adam more than most of the men that took part.
And upon further inspection, she would have been a serious contender for the 1st place, with Gong Yunru also being quite capable as well as some of those in the quarter final.
But her gender meant nothing to Adam who would fight her just like he would have fought anyone else, as he swung around the sword he had picked up from the weapon rack to face her with.
Getting used to its weight and length, Adam didn't really like the sword as a weapon, unlike most cultivators who opted to use the sword as their main weapon. He felt as though, although capable and suitable for most, for him it didn't offer him as much as a spear or daggers could.
It was very versatile and could be used for offence and defence, but didn't have anything that gave it an overall advantage over other weapons.
Which was why the wielder would have to be very skilled or have their own unique style to flourish as a sword wielder.
As a whole, it was a great weapon, and every weapon had its advantages and disadvantages, but Adam was yet to find a sword style that he felt comfortable with and also hadn't spent much time developing one.
Adaptability was what he prided himself in, able to use any weapon and fight against any opponent, always finding a way to come out on top.
But the sword was one of the weapons that Adam was least secure in, despite it arguably being one of the most fundamental and easy to learn to wield.
And what better way to find his way of the sword and improve his mastery over it than by fighting against a capable swordsman?
"So, Su Lan. Why don't you use the full extent of your swordsmanship and stop holding back?" said Adam as soon as their battle commenced, knowing that she was still holding back some power.
From her previous battles, he observed that she still had a latent power and more skill that she could have used in her battles, which she was wisely concealing and conserving for tougher battles.
However, if she thought about holding back against Adam, her minuscule chance of winning against Adam became even smaller.
"I believe you are still not worthy, and I am saving it for a later date. But if you can force me to use it, then I am more than happy to," she responded calmly.
Adam smiled and signalled for her to attack him, eager to take on her swordsmanship head-on after watching her battles from the sidelines.
And with that, their battle of swordsmanship began.
