Chapter 69：No Challenges (2/2)

”Yeah, even if he is good at dodging the attack this time covers too much of the area. I think it is quite difficult.”

Meanwhile, Jack who is at the receiving end of the attack is quite relaxed. He stared at Drew's movements with concentration as he examined the other party putting all his remaining power into a single attack.

His hand slowly moved towards the sword hanging in the sheath at his hip. He held the sword handle with his right hand as his spiritual energy started circulating.

”You aren't as bad as I thought.” Jack said to Drew and just when the numerous sword lights are about to converge towards his vitals. He has a smirk on his face. ”But you are still not good enough to take me down.” After these words, Jack drew the sword out of his sheath. A majestic sword light came out of the along with the sword and immediately disintegrated the sword shower.

”Sword Draw.” Jack muttered under his breath. Drew just looked with his weak body as his attack disappearing into nothing and still the sword light started making its way towards him. He felt like all his nerves and even his will could feel the sharpness of the sword light.

Before he can comprehend the feeling of this sharpness.

*Slash* He felt his flesh cut open as a deep gash was formed on his chest. Before he knew it, he fainted due to the blood loss.

”Winner Jack. Plus, one point.”

”Candidate Drew. Minus, one point.”

Elder declared as Jack made his way downwards. He stood beside Sam and exchanged a nod.

”That move is great.” Castor said to Count.

”Why are there, so many good candidates from the Star wood city? First that guy named Sam, who is good at everything we tested today and now this guy. His sword style is very unique. His movements are elegant, swift and there are no extra movements at all. It is as if he is too lazy to make any extra moves, but every move he made is extremely accurate and precise.” Count also gave his evaluation.

Audience also felt surprised by the development.

They thought that Jack would try to dodge or defend. They thought that Jack is strong from the earlier performance, but he never thought that he would be strong enough to not only counter the strongest move from his opponent, but they never expected that he would be able to do so in one move.

Meanwhile there are changes in the top 10. Eve and Shor dropped out after their first challenges. Sam actually thought that he would be highly challenged, but actually the most challenges were directed towards Hawk.

Right now, Hawk is fighting with another person Sam is familiar with, actually more like a person who Sam fought with.

Ray and Hawk are standing on the stage.

”Hawk, today I am going to take you down. You have been on the top for too long.”

”You can try then.” Hawk replied and started forming hand signs.

Ray swung his sabre towards him, but the latter didn't move at all. Just before the sabre reached him, he floated through the air as he moved backwards. Then before Ray tried to make a next move, wind blades started forming around him, the wind condensed in the form of blades started attacking ray from all the directions.

Hawk continuously made hand seals as he sent the wind blades one after another. Ray got himself busy. He is cursing inside his heart so much. This is the reason he made the first move against Hawk, to not to fall into the trap of these wind blades. But he failed again.

Just when he was about to make relax a bit. He heard Hawk's voice.

”Let us finish this.”

Just then he realized that he focused too much on the wind blades. When he looked at Hawk, he is already done casting.

”Dual wing slash.” Hawk muttered as a wind elemental energy condensed into a Hawk and two heavily condensed wind blades in form of Wings started moving towards him.

Before he knew it, he has two deep gashes on his chest as he flew off the stage.

Sam was impressed at Hawk's usage of wind energy. Surprisingly, Hawk turned towards him and gave a smile.

Time passed; Sam was getting bored. He was expecting some challenges but no one is challenging him. After Yash's defeat the weird trio also didn't challenge him at all. The top 10 places didn't change much. Except for Eve and Shor, replaced by Ray and Drew. There are no changes. Surprisingly, the eleven and twelve places are familiar to him.

Jessie and Dustin are in eleventh and twelfth places.

Just when he was feeling that there would be no challenges, Hawk went on to the stage and called his name.

Sam immediately got energised.

”Finally.” He said as he walked towards the stage in high spirits. After all, he has seen Hawk fighting and he was pretty much thinking of getting a first hand experience himself.
