Chapter 458 - 458: Proposal. (1/2)
Before the audience could calm down, Ariana, Shina, Little Emma, Zaira, and Zaika also made powerful attacks. In the end, Jka the rest didn't even have to fight and the host made his announcement.
”Ended! The second stage is over!” the presenter shouted with emotion, ”This is incredible! In such a short time, only 987 participants remain for the third stage of the martial arts tournament!”
”Tsk, so boring~” Lilith grunted. She who liked to fight didn't even have a chance this time.
”Well now, don't be like that. In the next stage it's an individual fight,” Zenia said with a friendly smile.
”Yes.” Lilith knew this, but she still wanted to get at least a little exercise.
”Lilith, if you really want to fight, Yui is willing to fight you.” Little Yui said with a smile full of fighting spirit.
”No, I'm fine, thanks.” Lilith flatly refused. Little Yui was even stronger than before; it wouldn't be fun for Lilith to fight her.
”Boring~” Little Yui stuck her tongue out and laughed.
On the screen above the arena in a holographic image, the result appeared.
”As expected of Theo's daughter and women.” On a luxury ship, sitting on a comfortable sofa, Athena commented with a small smile.
Waru took a sip of her tea, sitting next to Athena, and said with a smile of her own, ”Yes, everyone close to Theo are extraordinary people.”
Posel had to agree with what both women said and added, ”Yes, I fully agree. If it weren't for their being with Theo, I would try to recruit them as my disciples.”
”This is true, although rows of cultivators would be at your door if they knew you were accepting disciples. For someone who can learn from Theo, I suppose it is illogical to discuss which mentors they will choose,” Athena said with a giggle.
Posel also laughed awkwardly, since he knew it was true.
On the ark, Theo looked at the arena and saw Jka and the girls return. It didn't matter to Theo whether they were delayed or quick in the martial arts tournament; the important thing was that they were satisfied. In addition, Theo understood that Little Yui did this mainly to get the weak participants out of the way and go straight to the most interesting part.
”Frankly, I didn't expect it to be that fast,” Ariana said as soon as she returned to the ark.
”Well, I believe this is better,” Shina said with a smile as she landed on the ark.
Jka and the girls also returned to ark.
When the arena was almost empty, with only the presenter in the center of the arena, he said out loud, ”It was passed on to me that as the second stage ended very quickly, the next stage will start in 1 hour. The terms for the third stage are like this: Each participant needs to win 10 times and can only lose 2 times to qualify for the fourth stage, which will be among the top 100 martial arts cultivators.”
”Oh, they're making things faster. That's nice.” Theo agreed with this idea.
”Why is it nice? Do you wish badly for this tournament to be over?” Ariana smiled provocatively as she sat on Theo's lap, while he, in turn, was seated on a couch.
”Mm, almost that, I just have to give credit to you girls for finishing the second stage so fast, especially Yui.” Theo motioned for Little Yui to approach and rubbed her head lovingly as he smiled.
Little Yui showed her tongue and chuckled, ”Hehe~ Yui also thinks that this is better. Now only the strongest cultivators are left.”
Yuki, who was about to say something, saw Athena approaching, and instead greeted Athena, ”Hello, did you come to talk to Theo?”
”This too,” Athena said with a friendly smile, ”I want to invite you all to participate in the party on my ship. And if possible, I, Waru, and the rest have something we would like to talk to Theo about.”
”What do you think?” Theo looked at Jka and the girls to see if they wanted to go.
