Shen Tianyu had not even a scratch on her so she was abandoned soon enough but Lun Aoman was brought to the side to tend to his cuts and other wounds that he had accumulated over the fight.
The other fights proceeded without any hiccups and the teams that lost were deemed unable to progress in the tournament. Miss Yang, despite her temper and mediocre partner was able to win against the team consisting of the other two third place. The losing first, second and fourth place teams competed in a group royale with their team members. Each couple was supposed to be the last team standing and that last team would get a free pass to the quarterfinals. The winners of that were, as surprising as it was, the fourth place team that had just lost to the third place.
Shen Tianyu, Lun Aoman, Miss Yang, the two third place winners, and all three of the fourth place potentials all proceeded to the quarterfinal round of the tournament. The structure of the tournament reverted back to individual battles, but this time with more structure. Shen Tianyu's opponent was one of the third place winners, the man from Lun Aoman's stage, his name was Tao Yuan. Lun Aoman's opponent was one of the fourth place potentials. Miss Yang's competitor was the other fourth place and the remaining third place, from Shen Tianyu's stage, was to fight against the remaining fourth place who was Miss Yang's partner.
The first to step on stage was Shen Tianyu and her foe, giving some time for the others to rest a bit. There wasn't much to see, the disparity between her and the other champions was already so large so naturally, she wouldn't need much to win against someone who didn't even get into the top three. Not to mention, she didn't have any enmity with them so there was no reason for her to play with them either.
Tao Yuan charged at Shen Tianyu when the signal went off. She parried his strike and cleanly kicked him off the stage. It was over like that. The hosting elder didn't even have time to lower his hand yet.
Shen Tianyu didn't put excessive force into her kick so her only flew out of the array and landed on the ground, unlike Bo Jing who's resulting dent was still clear to see. She politely bowed to him as he got up with a disgruntled face and left the stage.
Lun Aoman passed his round with much less difficulty than when fighting with Ran Ting. Miss Yang struggled a bit more but still came out on top. The third place woman from Shen Tianyu's stage, Zhan Hua, also had a hard time but managed to make it. The remaining members for the semifinals was a bit unbalanced, with Lun Aoman being the only male among the group.
Lots were drawn again to determine each person's opponent for the semifinals. Miss Yang and Shen Tianyu would finally fulfill their, albeit one-sided, bet. Lun Aoman would be clash with Zhan Hua.
"Hmph, it's finally time to properly teach you a lesson!" Yang Lihua puffed up her chest as she strode towards the platform stage once again.
"That one's head doesn't seem to be screwed on quite right." Lun Aoman muttered to Shen Tianyu. The difference in their strength should be obvious yet Yang Lihua was still acting arrogant.
"Hasn't it always been like this? Maybe she thinks I'll let her win because she's a General's daughter or something." Shen Tianyu shrugged as she brushed imaginary dust off her shoulders and readjusted her sword.
"Doesn't she know you're associated with the two Young Masters of the Bai and Ningwu family? And also with Lavender Palace?"
"She thinks I was just a courtesan there or maybe even a maid." Shen Tianyu stood up and walked towards the stage herself, where Yang Lihua was waiting.
"She really ought to get some new eyes then." Lun Aoman mumbled behind her.
"Humph, you're finally here. Are you scared? Or were you having a good time with that boy toy of yours over there?" Yang Lihua taunted her as soon as she was within hearing range.
"Everyone knows Brother Aoman would rather die a hundred deaths than leave his dear younger sister." Shen Tianyu replied as she stepped on the platform and the array was once again activated around them. The collective spiritual energy channeled into the array created a dome 9 chi[1] above their heads. The hosting elder raised his hand and swung it down for the umpteenth time as he shouted "Begin!"
Yang Lihua unsheathed her sword as she dashed towards her, one-sided, love rival. Using the momentum of drawing her sword, she added more force and swung it at Shen Tianyu's side. Shen Tianyu drew her scabbard from her waist and blocked the sword swing. Yang Lihua then let up her force on the sword and threw a punch at her with her unoccupied hand. Shen Tianyu caught the fist with her other hand, the wind from the blow lifting her hair off her back in a light breeze. Yang Lihua then followed up with a kick from one of her legs as she took back her sword. Shen Tianyu sidestepped her leg to stand near the other's pivoting leg and pulled the fist she had been griping on to. With the sudden pull, Yang Lihua lost her balance and with Shen Tianyu letting go of her hand, she fell down, flailing. Luckily she caught herself in time with her released hand and cartwheeled back on her feet.
