”Die pretty boy!”

”Fuck you madman!”

*Boom!* *Crash*

The clash between the two people in conflict turned increasingly fierce. Their weapons were already out and each blows they did was meant to kill.

This clash undoubtedly disturbed some people's serenity, making unable to relax in peace and forced to watch their petty squabble. Raven and Jason were also watching in interest.

It was unknown who but someone's attack landed not too far from the person that Jason identified earlier. The attack came dangerously close to him, yet thankfully it didn't hit him. Still, the resting man was definitely alarmed and were forced to wake up from his meditation.

The man's face twisted in anger, it didn't take him long before he saw the two guys clashing not too far from him. He stood up from his spot and said something:

”You two imbeciles.” His cold remark startled the clashing guys, causing both of them to look at him.

”What did you say!?” The pretty boy aggressively said.

”Great, another pretty boy. Looks like you're courting death as well.” The unreasonable guy said as he brandished his blade.

The man didn't say anything else. Instead, his lips turned into a pout and he started blowing mist towards the two guys fighting.

The mist arrived very quick, so much so that it caught the two unprepared. Before they could even retreat from the mist, their bodies visibly froze.

In next to no time, their bodies were already encased in ice. Their faces still held those expressions of alarm and fear. The man snorted and instantly, the ice were pulverized. Not even a drop of blood could be seen from his victims. The powdered ice scattered with the wind and left a shiny black badge while rest completely disappeared, leaving the rest of the contenders shivering in alarm.

The man scoffed and went back to his seat and meditated once more, seemingly unaware of the fearful gazes being thrown at him.

The hall was quiet, those who witnessed this event silently took note of that man who just killed the two participants. Those who were acquainted with each other started a heated discussions through voice transmissions.

Raven who was watching this were a bit surprised as well. He then saw Jason grinning at him while saying: ”See? What did I tell you?”

”You know him?” Raven asked while raising a brow.

Jason scratched his head and said: ”Well, not personally. But he's pretty famous you know.”

”His name is Ryan Northson. People often call him the Pale Ice Prince. He's a son of an Empyrean.” Jason introduced while lowering his voice.

Raven tried recalling his old memories to see if he could remember something about Ryan but he had no recollection of him at all. However, he could still tell that the guy was very formidable.

That information completely astounded Raven. He then asked: ”Are these rumors true?”

”No idea.” Jason shrugged, ”Haven't seen him flaunting his Champion's Physique before. However, since a rumor like this existed, there should be a basis behind it. Plus, this guy never confirmed nor denied the rumors. True to his moniker, he's extremely cold to everyone. You won't really see him hanging around a lot of people. And even if he is, you best believe that it's out of necessity.”

Raven nodded after hearing this, his gaze then turned towards Ryan once more. He discretely activated his ocular technique and focused on him. His vision adjusted and started showing up the detail that he wanted to see.

Though he could only see a hint of it, to Raven this was enough. That spark of faint black-golden glow was already enough for him to confirm that this person indeed has a Perfected Deity's Physique.

All of a suddenly however, Ryan's eyes abruptly opened. Raven's eyebrow twitched as he hastily focuses on Jason who's been happily drinking from the bottomless gourd.

Ryan looked around him in suspicion. Annoyance was visible on his face. He was pretty sure that somebody was spying on his closely just now but he couldn't find any traces of it. He didn't like this feeling at all but he had nowhere to vent his frustrations since he had no evidence, so he just snorted once more and went back to his meditation.

'His senses are very keen. He's a formidable contender.' Raven silently mused as he leaned back to the wall and returned his attention to his book.

”Man, this competition is really going to be nasty.” Jason carelessly commented on the side.
