《The First World Emperor》Earning respect!

Luo Cheng clicked his tongue as he knew he wasn't an excellent combatant, but Dong Jian and Chen Lei were shocked by how Charles chose Martial strength. They had expected Charles to pick something like wisdom or chess as Charles didn't look like a good enough fighter to be able to beat four opponents at the same time. Zhong Huang was the only one that showed no reaction. "So, you picked martial strength, Very well. You five may pick your weapons from the rack to my left and stand in the battleground. The weapons are all made from iron except the bow. If you bleed you lose, this means that if Charles manages to make all four members bleed he wins. But if Charles bleeds, then he loses."
Luo Cheng took a bow and a few arrows knowing full well that he could not wield a melee weapon with his weak body. Dong Jian took a War Glaive that was mighty and tall with a sharp blade at the top, capable of clearing waves of enemies if one was strong and skilled enough. Chen Lei chose a Jian sword that was a beautiful, swift and deadly! Zhong Huang Chose a Qiang spear that was a flexible spear capable of smacking someone unconscious and stabbing someone till they bleed out. Lastly, Charles chose something resembling the katana he had received from the Arena Master. The weapon he chose was a Changdao sword which was a long two-handed curved saber.
The 5 of them stood on the rectangular dirt field with Charles standing on the south side while Luo Cheng, Dong Jian, Chen Lei and Zhong Huang stand on the north side. The vice commander looked at the two sides and said "Attack each other like you were fighting with your life on the line but do not injure the opponent too much. Alright, begin!" Once the vice commander announced the beginning of the duel Zhong Huang immediately ran towards Charles with his spear aimed at him! Luo Cheng sighed at Zhong Huang's unpreparedness as looks at Dong Jian and Chen Lei: "The last thing we want is to underestimate our opponent! He must have chosen martial strength for a reason; I have a plan to take him down so listen to me as we fight him alright?" Luo Cheng quickly told them his plan and prepared an arrow. Both nodded at Luo Cheng's plan.
Charles stands motionless as he sees Zhong Huang charging at him. After learning the "Dashing Rabbit Strike," his basic understanding of martial arts has improved quite a bit.'It It seemed like this Zhong Huang was a calm man who would not charge recklessly, but it turns out that I was wrong. Right now, he seems impatient, as though he is trying to get this fight over with. He must have underestimated me like how Leon did in the arena, and since his forward charge is so slow, I should just cut a wound in his arm and move on.' Charles thought as he analyzed Zhong Huang.

As he charged, Zhong Huang scorned Charles's motionless state. 'Is he blind? Can't he see I am running at him? Or is it that he is too scared to move?' he thought as he charged. But just as he was about to poke open a wound on Charles lightly, he immediately felt a stinging sensation from his right arm, and it also felt a bit cold. He then noticed that Charles was not in front of him anymore. He looked at his left shoulder to see a small cut with blood slowly dripping out of it. He then started sweating and softly said in shock "h-how?" Zhong Huang couldn't understand what was happening.
Charles slowly walks towards Luo Cheng, Dong Jian, and Chen Lei after easily cutting Zhong Huang by using "Dashing Rabbit Strike." The vice commander raises his eyebrows in shock! He didn't expect such a young child to have a martial arts technique! He now realized why commander Er Hong had given him the task of supervising his test. If a typical 10- Charles then sighed a bit as he was slowly walking 'It's much harder to hold back when using "Dashing Rabbit Strike" If hadn't done my best to hold back the technique I would have accidentally cut him in half!' Charles thought and reminded himself not to use it against people that he doesn't want to kill.
"It was just as I thought! He was truly a good fighter! Remember the plan! One man can't fight against 3!" Luo Cheng said to the two of them. Dong Jian and Chen Lei started sweating a bit as they held up their weapons in preparation. Unlike Luo Cheng, who has never fought a serious duel before they could see how strong Charles was in comparison to them. Comparing them to Charles was like comparing a sword made of dirt to a sword made from steel! If they couldn't even see how he had cut Zhong Huang, then how would they even defend against it?! But Luo Cheng thought of it another way. Even though Charles looked strong, it must be because of some secret he had. If Charles gets distracted as he is attacking the Dong Jian and Chen Lei, he could launch an arrow to hit him at his blind spot! No man can't block what he can't see!
Charles looked at Dong Jian and Chen Lei 'The two of them seem scared, they must think they're weaker than Zhong Huang. I should try not using "Dashing Rabbit Strike" on them. It would be good practice, plus this weapon I chose feels very good.' Charles thought as he awaits their attack. Dong Jian and Chen Lei looked at each other and nodded. Time to execute the plan "Blind Spot"! Dong Jian ran up first and swung his Glaive at Charles with as much power as he can. According to Luo Cheng's plan, he said to use all the strength they can to pressure Charles. This is so that Charles's mind will be fully focused on them!

Charles seeing how fast he was swinging his Glaive at quickly moved back to dodge it. 'That was quite fast. That must mean that he is not going to hold back." Charles thought, but before he could think of a counter to the Glaive which was a weapon he had never encountered before, he was attacked by Chen Lei who had rushed at Charles while attacking with multiple slashes!
But before he could think of a counter to the Glaive which was a weapon he had never encountered before, he was attacked by Chen Lei who had rushed at Charles while attacking with multiple slashes! Charles quickly blocks the strikes while surprised; he didn't think that Chen Lei could use a sword this well! While Charles was blocking a Chen Lei's series of attacks, Dong Jian swung down his Glaive at Charles. Immediately moved backward to avoid the attack. Just as he was moving back, an arrow came flying to him. It would have hit Charles if he didn't have some Emperor's Spirit still left in his body, so Charles manages to knock the arrow away with his sword before the arrow hit him.
Luo Cheng cursed as he saw this "What is he a monster?! How could he have blocked that?! Dong Jian, Chen Lei continues to suppress him!" Luo Cheng shouted as he changed positions and moved to another location on the field. 'Luo Cheng seems to know how to plan a fight, I almost got caught by him too. I should find some time to learn from him.' Charles thought as he blocked and pushed Chen Lei away so that he could deal with Dong Jian. 'Dong Jian is surprisingly strong, and that weapon he's using is surprisingly dangerous! The reach and power it has would have been useful to me during the battle royal!" Charles thought as he sidesteps past Dong Jian's downward slash and lightly cuts Dong Jian's left arm. "Ah! I lost!" Dong Jian shouted as he saw the wound on his left arm.
"Damn it! Chen Lei, it's all up to you now! Make sure to keep him distracted!" Luo Cheng shouted as he shot another arrow at Charles and was easily deflected "Tch, monster!" Luo Cheng shouted and moved to another location on the field. 'That Luo Yang has been changing locations after each shot. I wonder why." Charles thought as he blocked the next attack from Chen Lei! 'This boy looks rather timid and shy, but right now his rather fierce!' Charles thought as he finally parries Luo Cheng's attack and lightly cuts his left shoulder as well. Feeling a bit down that he lost Chen Lei tears up a bit.
"Shit!" Luo Cheng sees that he's in trouble quickly fired off arrows as quickly as he could at Charles. 'Luo Cheng seems to be in distress, is it because everyone else has been kicked out and he's the only one left? Such a clever mind, but a weak heart.' Charles thought as he dodged the arrows easily with Emperor's Spirit. Luo Cheng shot his last arrow and upon seeing that Charles had deflected, caught and dodged every arrow he shot he had gone into shock as he stood there staring at Charles as though he had seen a monster.
Charles then walked towards the stunned Luo Cheng and left a small cut on Luo Cheng's left arm and looked at the rest to see their shocked faces. 'It seems that beating them singlehandedly has made them respect me more!' Charles thought as he feels a sense of accomplishment after winning, Dong Jian, Chen Lei, and Zhou Huang looked at Charles not with respect but fear: " Just what kind of monster did we get for a leader?!"
