Overcoming The Beast

"Everyone! As you all know Ice Continent competition is approaching. The team that will represent the Mystic Ice Sect needs to be chosen. As the best among all the disciples the team will be made among you. We will start things of easily."

The room suddenly lit up with a blue formation slowly spinning on the ground of the hall. A large pressure started to suppress everyone.

The elder that had been speaking continued, a blue portal appeared behind him. "Behind me is something the ancestors of the Sect left behind. It is the door to an alternate space. Everyone who can enter will pass the first round." The elder took a step back and entered the portal.

Leon arrived at the door. He tried to open it but it was lock. "Why isn't it opening!" He looked around and didn't see anyone nearby. He ran around to the Windows. But they were locked and covered.

"What's happening inside?"

Leon climbed the wall up and reached the roof of the hall. He found a door on top that led in. He then entered, walked down a series of stairs and arrived to the hall to see all the disciples standing in place with constipated expressions.

"That formation should be a gravity formation. I guess that's why everyone's trying so hard."

Leon saw Clementine and Ivy. Ivy stood holding herself up with a sword. Clementine with the staff. They were infinite of the crowd and were walking towards the portal.

"That's a portal to a Pocket space. So that's the goal."

Leon walked in and didn't feel much pressure. He walked to Clementine passing the disciples who were red and sweating from the pressure. No one noticed Leon as he walked as they focused on themselves.

Leon even saw Julius. Julius was barely above average as he was able to move, but was still slower then people like Ivy who were moving ten times as fast.

Leon reached Clementine. "Clementine, it has been a while. So what is happening here."

Clementine was concentrating with her eyes closed as she walked. Hearing Leon she answered "This is the Mystic Ice competition I was a going to tell you about. This for choosing the team that will represent the Mystic Ice Sect in the Ice Continental competition."

"Sorry I had been in a hurry so I couldn't say and chat. So what are the prizes? I assume there is an award, right?"

"There is a prize. It's a Soul stone. The Clan rarely gives those out as they are so hard to get."

Leon's eyes shine. "Perfect see you on the next round."

"See you to." Clementine opened her eyes and saw Leon running into the portal. "Ivy I think I just saw Leon enter the portal?"

"You're seeing things. Leon didn't come to the hall in time."

"You're right."

Inside the portal Leon was transported to an icy world. It was like an infinite ice ring. The sky was clear and there wasn't any thing to see.

A voice finally spoke "You have been allowed to pass. Which door do you want to enter?"

Two doors appeared in front of Leon. Both were made of Ice and looked identical.

"Usually in these type of questions it doesn't matter. It would be a waste of time to think."

Leon went up to the door on his left and entered it.

The door led to an arena. On it a mechanical puppet stood opposite to Leon. As walked on stage it woke. It's eyes were a white glow and had runes light up its body. It stared at Leon and said. "I shall be your opponent. The rules are simple you have to defeat one of my beast. It will be a life and death battle so be alert."

"A low grade Life puppet. Life puppets are similar to humans where they have cultivation and a soul book. I can't see its cultivation so it is much higher then me." Leon thought.

"Can I choose the beast you will summon?" Leon asked it.

The puppet directly answered. "You may choose from these three beast."

Three images of beast formed In front of Leon.

"A Titanic Glacial Whale, five yellowstar cultivation." Leon decided in a second he couldn't beat it and read the other two. "An Arctic Sword beast, five yellowstar cultivation." Leon internally thought, "Nope! still can't fight that." Finally he saw the last beast, "Constellation beast Capricorn, two yellowstar cultivation."

Leon externally nodded. Internally he was screeming out "The Titanic glacial whale isa seven voidstar beast! The Arctic Sword beast is a eight voidstar and the Constellation Beast Capricorn is a ten voidstar beast! And those are thier potential when they are born!"

"Even if I brought out the Dragon I don't think I'd be able to win with hundred percent certainty. It's more of a fifty-fifty. Well that's because the Life puppet shouldn't have these beast. They should be formed using a Clone ability. So all they all should be weaker then the real beast."

"From the three let's cancel off Constellation Beast Capricorn. Even if It has the lowest cultivation, as an incarnation of a concentration it would destroy my barely grown Dragon."

"From the Titanic Glacial Whale and Arctic Sword Beast. I can't pick the Titanic Glacial Whale. Because of Its sub water element, it has an ability called Ocean Domain. If it used that ability I would lose in a heart beat with my low water affinity and lack of a water beast. The ocean currents would wash e away and even the Dragon wouldn't be able to find then. The Arctic Sword beast it is."

Just as Leon was about to pick a beast the Life puppet said "Choosing time is over. I will pick for you."

"What?! When did this become time based." The puppet ignored Leon and summoned its soul book instantly. It then started summoning a beast.

Leon also summoned his soul book and snorted. "That puppet must have been lying about letting me choose. It probably has some type of ability that lets it read minds and wanted to find out which one of the beast I would least like to fight."

This was something that Leon had seen in higher level Clans. Although they did it differently and more efficiently.

The puppet summoned The Constellation Beast Capricorn. Which Leon had been expecting. A beast with a goat front body and a fish's back body came out from the summoning circle. It's goat horns made of enchanting ice. It's body was a serene blue and its eyes held pride as a strong beast. It floated in the air and watched Leon.

"Do they are copies of the original beast. Good, I have a chance of winning. Leon summoned all three of his beast. The Blood Harpy, Incomplete Evil Chimera (Pride Beast) and the Cold Mist Ghost Dragon."

He was sure no one was watching them. The arena had an All Blocking Formation spinning above the arena. So he was going to go all out to fight this beast.
