《Point Cultivation》Chapter 4: The Mo Clan Tournament
Advertisement
The tournament amongst the youth of the Mo clan was about to begin. Everyone was on the edge of their seats as this was bound to be exciting! People were already talking about how Joe Mo had gotten 8 points and the real event had not even started yet!
As it turns out Joe Mo’s first opponent was Chris Mo. Chris Mo had always hated Joe Mo because he was born into one of the branch families of the Mo clan and not the main family like Joe Mo.
“After all this time I can finally take my revenge on Joe Mo! Unlike him who used to be a cripple I am a genius at cultivation.” Chris Mo thought to himself.
That’s right Chris Mo was one of the best cultivators among his age group! In fact he a week before the competition he broke through to the double digit realm, an impressive feat for someone his age.
When both Joe Mo and Chris Mo got on the stage Chris Mo said “Joe Mo that rock must be broken if it thinks you have 8 points!”
“Oh” responded Joe Mo “We will have to see about that”
Being taunted by Joe Mo caused Chris Mo to fly into a rage flying his fist right at Joe Mo’s stomach! “-9 points-” But when his fist landed it delt no damage.
“Oh ho ho Did you think you could beat me with only 9 points watch this” yelled Chris Mo as threw his other fist at Joe Mo “-10 points-” But shockingly the same thing happened.
The crowd was thrown into uproar people knew that Chris Mo was probably going to reach the double digit realm this quickly but it was different for Joe Mo!
Chris Mo’s face was pale and he was shock with terror. Joe Mo had more points then him! Just as he had that thought a headbut smashed him in the face.
“-11points-” said Joe Mo as he walked of the stage. Leaving the unconscious Chris Mo just lying there.
For the rest of the tournament Joe Mo used his 11 revealed points to dominate the competition until he reached the semifinals at this point there were only 4 people left! Those people were Joe Mo, Tim Mo, Crow Mo and lastly Sven Mo. The matchups were Joe Mo vs. Crow Mo and Tim Mo vs. Sven Mo!
This matchup worried Joe Mo because Crow Mo was known for his speed and lethality of his attacks. He always wore a black cloak and he wielded two daggers. Joe Mo had no way of catching Crow Mo his only weapons were fists and he had no ranged techniques!

The worst part about this was that Crow Mo loved to trash talk and not just ordinary trash talk, Crow Mo was extremely childish!
“Joe Mo you are a stink stank butt head” those were Crow Mo’s opening words to Joe Mo.
Right as the round started Crow Mo sped towards Joe Mo at tremendous speeds! And he yelled “Cross slash -14 points-” The slashes from his two blades created two shockwaves in the air and they formed together to make an X formation. This blast landed directly on Joe Mo cutting his shirt into four pieces. But by the time that had happened Crow Mo had already ran behind Joe Mo and started to attach him from the back. “-14 points-”
As it turned out even Crow Mo’s fast and deadly attacks could do nothing to Joe Mo! However, on the flip side Joe Mo was not fast enough to hit Crow Mo with his attacks!
This intense battle raged on for 15 minutes while Crow Mo was insulting him the entire time!
“You smell bad” “You are stupid and dumb” “Go feed the birds” “Put a shirt on” “When I beat you I’m eating lasagna”
Eventually Crow Mo became exhausted and collapsed. But as he was being carried off the stage Joe Mo was surprised to hear something Crow Mo said!
“You really are a strong fighter Joe Mo, you have my respect!” That’s right Crow Mo respected the strong! And now that Joe Mo was strong he was respected!
At this point Joe Mo was done with his battle he could finally watch Tim Mo’s battle against Sven Mo. You see Tim Mo was the only one in his age group that was still friendly with Joe Mo after they learned that he could not cultivate. In fact you could call him Joe Mo’s best friend!
But he was shocked to find out the battle was still going on! At the start Time Mo had attacked with 14 points confident in his ability. But instead Sven Mo had returned his attack with 15 points in the form of a dominating chain punch! If performed correctly the dominating chain punch would hold the opponent in the air while they were subject to repetitive blows that they could do nothing against!
Shockingly Sven Mo had been doing this to Tim Mo for 15 whole minutes and with a final punch Tim Mo was sent flying out of the ring and into the stands!
“That’s what you get Tim Mo for being friends with Joe Mo” scoffed Sven Mo

“You take things to far Sven Mo, your beef is not with him it is with me!” said Joe Mo.
“That’s wrong Joe Mo anyone who does not root for me is my enemy!”
Joe Mo was sent into a rage Sven Mo would have to pay for his actions and he would do so right now! Joe Mo jumped from his stage over to the stage with Sven Mo so that they could begin their fight. And when the fight began they charged at each other with all of their might!
Even more astonishing than that is when they crashed into each other they both yelled “-15 points-” and neither of them took any damage!
“Is that all you can do Joe Mo you are goin-”
“-17 points-” Without holding back any of his cultivation base Joe Mo unleashed a devastating uppercut to straight into Sven Mo’s head. And in an explosion of blood Sven Mo went flying into the air and he landed head first into the arena.
Sven Mo was shaking as he slowly got back up onto his feet and his face was covered in blood! Sven Mo had never been humiliated this badly in his entire life!
“I CAN’T LOSE TO YOU YOU ARE JUST A CRIPPLED SON OF A DYING MAN. I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LOSE TO YOU”
And just like that Sven Mo pulled out a secret potion out of his cloak! And as he drank it he immediately gained a point! This was a 1 point rage potion, it would grant the drinker a temporary point but in exchange he would lose a point when he went back to normal! It also drained the life force of the user and should only be used in life or death scenarios!
“You die now! -17 points-”
This scenario gave Sven Mo the advantage as they both had 17 points but Sven Mo knew fighting techniques. Dominating chain punch and just like that Joe Mo was hit into the air and struck by repetitive blows!
But no matter how many times Sven Mo hit Joe Mo he would not fall out of the ring! Even though Joe Mo was taking heavy damage it was a stalemate! This state of affairs ran on for a half an hour and Joe Mo never stopped taking the hits.
But then something shocking happened Joe Mo caught Sven Mo’s fists as he was punching him! Sven Mo felt that life force was draining out of him! His potion ran out and he was weaker than Joe Mo again.
“-15 points-” And with a shocking blow to the head Sven Mo was sent flying out of the arena, Joe Mo had won. And the audience had a thunderous applause they had never seen such an exciting match in their lives!
But then a powerful yell came from the audience “How dare you do that to the young master of the Mo clan you will die for your insolence!”
This voice came from Zed Mo. He was emanating a powerful aura of dangerous power and he jumped from the audience stands and landed right in front of Joe Mo! A windstorm swirled around his fist as if it were the center of the universe and it sucked in all the air in the area. Joe Mo was being pulled towards the punch as it was being thrown at him such a deadly technique looked as though it could never be stopped! “-687 points-”
But just as the punch was about to tear Joe Mo into a thousand pieces a thin barrier of light blocked the attack!
“Has your age made you grow dumb Zed Mo or have you forgotten that Joe Mo has the same status as a young master of the clan!” To everyone's surprise the one who had blocked the attack and said those words was Grow Mo!
“Imperial lights binding -1435 points-” And like that chains of pure light bound Zed Mo to the ground of the arena!
But Zed Mo’s actions not only angered Grow Mo they also angered his father the patriarch of the Mo clan, Gramps Mo! “Zed Mo for your actions against Joe Mo you shall be imprisoned in the Mo prison for 5 years! Also I would like to know what Joe Mo would like for his prize!” Gramps Mo spoke slowly in an old sounding voice, that was because he is old!
“I would like to train one of the Mo clans secret techniques.”
“Ok” said Gramps Mo
This was one of the more common requests for the ceremony, however, this did not bother Joe Mo as he wanted a secret technique.
