452 Tournament 1.3 (1/2)

”Winner of this match, Jonathan!”

As the announcement of the winner occurred, the whole arena exploded in cheers and applause. The heated battle against Jonathan and Nelson brought immense excitement for the crowd and everyone loved how Jonathan was able to turn the tables against Nelson by revealing his true might.

This wasn't to say that Nelson was weak. After all, who would dare to say that a disciple of the Ancient Elysium Sect was weak?

Jonathan won due to him taking advantage of the Nelson's surprise, along with the overbearing momentum brought by him igniting his bloodline. Had Nelson managed to regain his posture and launch a counter-attack, it would really be unknown who would win in this match.

For now however, it seems that Jonathan claims victory, bringing a close to this intense match.

”Man, what a battle…” Albert commented emotionally within their room. He leaned back on the couch and pouted, ”As expected of the disciples of the Ancient Elysium Sect. I'm afraid that either of them could hold their own against me.”

Raven, who's calmly sipping on his tea beside him, commented: ”Well, they're not on your level yet. But if you start slacking, then they would truly leave you behind.”

”Hmph! Who says that I'm slacking? I'm nearing my breakthrough I'll have you know.” Albert snorted, causing Raven to smile wryly.

”You could've made the breakthrough even before we started this journey but you still didn't. If that's not slacking off, then I don't know how else we could call it.” Raul commented while glaring slightly as his own son.

This caused Albert to feel some chills, he smiled embarrassingly and lowered his head while grumbling inwardly.

”Still, this was an interesting match though.” Raven switched the topic, ”Someone who hailed from an Imperial Clan, who's also very skilled in spear arts as well possessing profound knowledge about Water Laws versus a descendant from a God Beast Clan, who's similarly skilled in spear arts and Fire Laws.”

”Agreed.” Raul nodded, ”Although Jonathan won, it was only due to the small advantages he held. Once all of you arrive at the Ancient Elysium Sect, you'll surely grow even more powerful. Nephew, you mustn't slack of like this useless son of mine. You have to work hard and make sure to not be expelled from the sect.”

”That goes without saying Uncle.” Raven smiled and acknowledged Raul's words.

”The second match for today will begin shortly.”

The attention of everyone within the stadium was caught by the sudden announcement, of course this includes Raven and everyone else within the room.

As expected, the excitement of the crowd started rising once more. And as soon as the arena was fixed back to its previous state, the announcer didn't waste time and immediately called in the next participants for second match of the day.

This man was Juniper Myles. A person who managed to be chosen as one of the disciples of the sect and one of the people that Raven has no intel with.

Cheers erupted from the crowd, yet an amplified voice drowned almost the combine cheers of the crowd.

”Wooohoo! Fight! Fight! Young Master, you got this! Wooohoo!”

In the front row of the audience, a young man holding two empty water bottles screamed on top of his lungs while furiously slamming the water bottles together. His passionate and loud cheers was heard all the way to the VIP rooms, causing him to be the center of the attention for a bit.

Juniper hasn't shown much reaction from this but his ears were turning red. Thankfully, no one managed to notice this but Juniper was cursing his servant in his mind.

On the opposite side of the arena came a roguish looking man. He was bald and was wearing a black colored cape that only covered his upper body, underneath this cape, he too was wearing the maroon colored robes, signifying that he too is a disciple of the sect.

In contrast with how Juniper carried himself, this man was almost his opposite. There was a visible boredom or indifference in his face. He walked like how one would swagger in the streets. Overall, he looked like some random thug on the streets that would be willing to do anything for the right price.

This person is none other than the guy who approached Raven during the initial stages of the exams, Jason Sigmus.

Compared to Juniper, no one cheered on Jason. In fact, he received the complete opposite. Some people could the jeers and boo's of the crowd, making them quite confused. But Jason never paid attention to any of this.
