Every day the tournament was only for six hours, from 12 PM to 6 PM.  While from morning to night, there is a constant party and celebration that happens in the city.  The royal palace was only going to host two celebrations, the first one had already happened, which was the opening banquet and the last one was the closing banquet at the end when the Phantom Mirage closes.  Any training or celebration for the participants were all up to the delegation and their people.  As long as they didn't cause any trouble, they were free to roam the city. 

By the end of day one of the tournament out of the 65 rounds of fighting, only 33 rounds were finished.  All of the Cara Country fighters who fought that day were able to pass the first round of fighting.  Which caused King Nao to be proud of his people.  

As the first day ended, King Takeshi and Lady Lihua returned to their home without much fanfare.  They left right after King Nao and Queen Yuki, not wanting to stay to chat with other nobles or martial fighters.

On the start of the second day, Takeshi was the first fighter to be announced.  The crowd roared in excitement but knew the fight would end in Takeshi's favor.  His opponent was a woman from Yukha.  Her nimble body jumped onto the stage as she takes off her red robe in a flourish causing the men to hoot and holler as  the women roll their eyes in annoyance.  The tight red, body forming suit she wore was like a second skin to her body, enhancing and showing every curve and muscle.  Her allure attracted the men to sit up straight.  Her smile seemed like it held on to hidden secrets that she couldn't tell.  Her long, thick brown hair flowed gloriously behind her in soft waves as she moves.  

Takeshi kisses Lihua on the forehead before flying down to the stage and landing in front of her with a bored look on his face. His white robe and his flowing black hair made him look majestic and Godly.  His handsome features and milky skin called to the women's desire. His looks and skills were beyond compare to any man.  Which made him a hot commodity in the circle of women.  

His opponent was only at a peak Water Bound Martial Stage.  His strength and her strength was like heaven and earth.  He could squish her like an ant if he wanted to.  

When they both bowed to the referee, she took the moment to introduce herself to the man who was like a God to them.  

"My name is Masami, meaning elegant beauty.  Just like your Lady Wife Lihua, meaning elegant, graceful beauty." Masami said as she smile seductively at Takeshi.  "Should Hell King likes what Hell King sees, Masami is willing to give whatever Hell King wants." 

Suddenly, without a warning, Masami felt a huge pressure surrounding her, pushing down on her.  Her knees buckled as she felt her body become ten times heavier than usual.  She couldn't even lift her hand up.  She was stuck, kneeling in front Hell King as he walked towards her.  

"You are willing to give whatever this Hell King wants?"  Takeshi said as he made his way over to her.  Slowly walking as he calmly talks to her.  "What this Hell King wants, is your tongue, for dirtying this Hell King's Lady Wife's name." 

Masami felt pain in her mouth as her tongue split in two as she screamed a piece of her tongue fell out as blood spilled out covering her neck and chest.  

"This Hell King also wants your eye.  Just one."  Takeshi said as he finally stood in front of her.  

With the quickness of his hand, he dug his fingers into her right eye and pulls her frighten grey eye out within moments.  Her crying out in pain never stopped nor did she have a chance to concede in the fight. He tore her tongue out, how could she say she conceded to the fight?  

"This Hell King only wants one eye to give to this Hell King's Lady Wife as a gift.  You shall keep your other one to remind yourself to not look too closely at what belongs to others."

The cheerful crowd suddenly became silent as they watch the horror scene that happened within moments after they bowed to the referee.  

"Nod your head if you understand this Hell King."  Takeshi asks. 

Masami nods her head up and down again.  

"Nod your head if you concede to your lost in this fight." 

Masami cries out and nods her head.  

"Winner, Hell King of Cara Country."  The referee announces.  

The referee quickly calls for a doctor to stop the bleeding from her eye and mouth.  King Takeshi ruined her beauty as he took her tongue and eye.  

Takeshi flies back to the Imperial box and hands Lihua the bloody eye.  

"Lady Wife,"  Takeshi said with a smile.  "The first of your eye collection, your King Husband shall start for you." 

Lihua smiled behind her veil and her eyes lit up with laughter.  She opened her palm to receive the eye.  

"Charmed."  Lihua said as the eye lands in the palm of her hand.  "This Lady Wife, thanks King Husband for this generous and thoughtful gift."
