Chapter 466 Part 1: Duel
From Mc's Perspective:
Dorm Room,
When I walked out of the training room. I see my communication watch bombarded with many notifications. Seeing that I wasn't surprised. These days I have been busy with cultivating the lightning technique. My body strength has reached the Mid-Elite level. So I have been practicing hard these days so that my essence can reach Mid-Elite as well.
I didn't open the message right away. First, I decided to take shower. Several minutes later, I sat on the sofa comfortably. "Let's see what all those messages are about," I mumbled under my breath.
Then I began to read the message. "Hmmm," I raised my eyebrows as one headline caught my attention. Because it's from management, I opened that particular message to read it. After a few seconds, my eyes burst out with a cold glint.
Dean Rebecca told me about this but I still took it lightly. But these guys were bold enough to challenge me. Which shows their determination to challenge me. But one thing I couldn't understand, Jonathan clearly crushed them. I thought it would deter than but it shows clearly not.
Looks like other academies are hell-bent on erasing me. A frown appeared on my face. I thought after the destruction of Crimson Hall. I can cultivate peace. And there will be no more hostile organizations who were planning to kill me.
But now I have realized, I had underestimated the people's hearts. Everyone was wary of me. At this moment, a bitter smile appeared on my face. And I recalled Jonathan's words once again. He told me the journey after the competition would be even harder. In particular, I should be ready for facing the Inner Post challenge.
It took me a few minutes to adjust my emotions and correct my mindset.
Then I began to go through the message again. The Giant tower members formally issued a challenge. I guess if I don't appear tomorrow, they will embarrass the academy. My eyes burst out with fighting intent.
Meanwhile,
Elder Red, Ron, and others are smiling happily because of the Giant Tower Head's action.
Elder Ron smiled and said, "Now the problem has been sorted out. That kid will definitely appear tomorrow."
After saying that, the elder turned toward Ron and asked, "You will be fighting against him tomorrow. So make no mistake to cripple the kid. If possible you can kill him. It'll prevent others from interfering." His eyes turned cold.
Ron subconsciously nodded his head. He knows it's impossible to backtrack the decision is forgone conclusion. Then everyone retreated.
The following day,
The entire Saw Scale Viper Academy is filled with different atmospheres. Many were very enthusiastic about the duel. In particular, the other 4-grade institutions. While the A-grade institute's atmosphere is solemn.
Because the challenge was an issue to a single special element warrior. The rest of them felt ignored. The Flame faction members' hearts were boiling in anger. Because of the head of Franklin, they didn't have much choice other than to listen to him.
The Giant Tower members walked out of their guest room. Vice- Dean is guiding them toward the battle platform. On the way, some of the students followed along silently. Vice-dean ignored them and continue to walk forward.
At this moment, the Red Elder opened his mouth to say, "Vice-dean, what about that kid Zack?"
When he said that Ron & others turned toward him. Since the last day, they have not seen or heard about Zack. They couldn't help but doubt whether Zack is return back from his trip.
Vice-dean sneered inside. How can he not know these people's thoughts? They really can't wait to kill that kid.
Then he slowly replied without turning back, "Don't worry, he will appear at right time."
Hearing that, the Red Elder frowned. But he didn't ask anything more. Ron and the rest of the warriors' faces were also not good-looking either.
Vice-dean Franklin snorted inside his heart.
Before coming here, he instructed his flame faction members to surround the platform. Now the spectator area is filled with fire elemental warriors. As per the dean's instruction, he should let other warriors fight against the Giant Tower members.
Slowly the group reached the duel stage. Vice-dean guided them towards the special area. Where Giant Tower members will be seated.
Flame Faction, Gale Faction, Water Faction, Metal Faction, and Rock Faction.
Surprisingly most of the warriors were presented in the spectator area from each faction. Even a few elites from other grade institutes were allowed to watch the duel.
But the teachers and elders were in a different mood. They don't know whether Zack can win the dual. Apart from the faction head, Vice-dean, Dean, and ancestor. The rest of the elders and teachers don't know the importance of the duel.
Many are thinking of it as Giant Tower's arrogance. But others were skeptical. They don't know whether Zack can survive in the end.
All Faction Heads are present inside the spectator area waiting for the person to arrive.
Meanwhile, inside the Dorm Room.
"Are you ready?" Dean Rebecca asked.
Seeing the holographic image, I nodded in response.
"Well, that's good to hear. Don't worry, before your appearance. Someone will fight against the Giant Tower members. You can watch their videos before appearing," After saying that she ended the call.
Staring at the blank screen, I stood in a daze for a moment. It's good that they have made such an arrangement. I don't want to get into a duel blindly.
Then I walk toward the sofa and sat on it.
I opened the student account page and saw the duel link. Someone broadcasting the duel live for the entire academy to watch. Seeing that strange glint flashes in my eyes.
Who is behind this work? Is this even allowed?
I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Then I opened the link and the video appeared the next second.
A magnificent stadium came into view. The spectator area was crowded with people. Seeing that, a look of disbelief appeared on my face.
Did they allow four-grade institutions to see the duel? Doubt appeared in my heart. Then I spotted a few burly men entering the dueling stadium.
"The Giant Tower members," I uttered in surprise. Compared to others, the Giant Tower members are taller in height. So I can easily see them.
Meanwhile,
The Red Elders and others saw the atmosphere of the duel. Ron in particular sneered inside, "These people don't know that Zack will die here."
The Red Elder asked, "Where is he?"
Vice-dean smiled and replied, "Don't you think it's too early for the final match? Why don't we send a few warriors to compare first?"
The Red Elder's face turned ugly. Obviously, other party is delaying the time. But he has no other choice but to agree with him.
Then he turned towards the Giant Tower members before pointing one out. A burly figure stepped forward to salute the elders before walking to the dueling platform.
"Will, smash everyone's head." The Giant Tower members encouraged the burly figure.
Even Ron nodded at him in approval. Ron knows everyone on his team were elite. Before coming here they were not randomly picked.
Each one of the members held some records back in the Giant Tower. Especially, Will in particular. He has two strong hands. Combine with body techniques. He can pose threat to Mid-level Elite.
So Ron is looking forward to seeing his opponent.
Vice-dean squinted his eyes. He knows the Giant Tower members were elite and can possibly fight across ranks.
So he won't allow average members to be cannon fodder. Then he sent a message to one of the elite warrior warriors' factions to appear.
A few minutes later,
A person with red short hair descends is Fire Element Initial Elite Warrior. But his flame techniques were strong and they can even cause injury to Mid-level Elite Warriors.
When he walks to the duel stage. The crowd erupts in cheer. They are excited about the duel.
On the other hand, inside the dean's office.
Dean Rebecca watching the live video as well. A complex emotion flashes in her eyes. She knows these warriors were definitely not simple. Some of the Giant Tower Warriors can fight across ranks.
What's worries her that elites in the academy were in retreat. Only a few of them were participating in a duel. She doesn't know whether the emerging flame faction members can defeat the Giant Tower members or not.
Duel stadium,
Red Elder opened his communication watch stream the duel live. So that Elders back in the Giant Tower can watch.
A few seconds later, the connection was stabilized.
The next moment, a holographic image of the Giant Tower Head appeared.
Seeing that the red elder became more respectfully.
Vice-dean's face turned ugly. He didn't hinder the actions of the red elder.
Meanwhile, inside the dorm room.
I saw the giant tower member and flame faction members. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "Interesting," I mumbled under my breath. Both were looking like strong warriors. I'm looking forward to seeing whether he can bring out the cards of the Giant tower member.
