Chapter 51 – Entering the Stage
A loud horn buzzed throughout the entire Arena.
“Lord Jarin, the first duel has just ended. Please make your way to the stadium before the Captain gets angry.”
Serina stated in a strict tone as she glared at the old man.
“Alright, alright, I’m going!”
The old man responded, as he started walking past the beautiful woman.
“Ahh!!”
Serina suddenly yelped as she grabbed her behind.
“Hehe, I’m suddenly feeling very motivated!”
The old man abruptly exclaimed as he vanished from the booth in a blink of an eye!
“Damn that geezer! This is the third time today that he has pinched my butt! I will report it to the Captain when this tournament is over!”
Serina furiously muttered as she then walked out of the contestants’ booth.
The disciples all stood numbly at the side with their hearts in turmoil.
“I thought the Moderators were supposed to be high ranking officials… what’s up with that perverted geezer then?”
“Hey! The second duel is starting! Who are the ones fighting?”
As the surrounding disciples all chattered amongst themselves, Felice abruptly turned towards Fatty and gently whispered.
“Rory, you will fight the duel after this. I don’t know who your opponent is, but you have to be careful! If you feel like you cannot win, just surrender before you get hurt.”
Hearing his sister’s words, Fatty obediently nodded back.
“Alright, big sister!”
Meanwhile, Calron was pondering within his own thoughts.
That ball of flame was too dangerous. That bastard is definitely in the eighth rank! I can’t let my guard down around him…
Chax had a cunning and despicable personality, which was evident when he attempted a surprise attack on Calron when his guard was down!
Shaking his thoughts of the large bully, Calron turned to Fatty.
“Fatty! Let’s go watch the fight! You are next after this duel, so you need to check out your competition.”
Calron stated as he rushed towards the stadium.
Fatty immediately followed behind his big brother after saying a quick goodbye to Felice.
……………………..
“….are the two participants ready?”
A familiar voice loudly echoed within the stadium.
Calron and Fatty both looked towards the source of voice, and found the old man from earlier standing in the middle of the stage.
The calm and powerful aura around him had returned, and if the two boys had not witnessed the previous scene in the booth with the old man harassing the beautiful woman, then both of them would also have deep admiring gazes like the rest of the people around the stadium!
“Hey, isn’t that the perverted old man we just saw in the booth?”
Fatty abruptly shouted into the crowd as he turned towards Calron.
“You idiot!”
Calron suddenly plunged Fatty’s head down before the old man could notice them in the crowd
Just a second later, the old man had turned his head around, as he scrutinized the crowd to find the source of the voice. A tint of embarrassment could be seen on his face, as he lightly coughed to regain his composure.
Seeing the two competitors nod their heads in agreement, the old man vanished from his original spot and re-appeared at the edge of the stage.
“BEGIN!”
The old man roared with a booming voice!
The disciples on the stage burst into motion as they simultaneously released their essence.
One of the two disciples was a girl around ten years old, with dark brown hair and a petite body. Scarlet tendrils of essence coalesced around her as waves of flames erupted behind her!
The other disciple was a boy, who was similar in age to the girl, but appeared to be much older due to his larger frame which completely overshadowed the petite body of the girl.
A burgundy colored essence coalesced around the boy as his fists suddenly morphed into a rock-like appearance! They had the shape of human hands, but the texture was akin to a dense slab of rock!
The crowed gasped in astonishment when they saw the technique of the boy, and stepped closer to the stage as they eagerly waited for the battle.
“I wonder which family that boy is from?…. To comprehend such a complex earth attributed technique at that age is simply amazing… “
As the audience all chattered amongst themselves, the male disciple rushed towards the girl in front of him, as he prepared to strike his fist.
Seeing her opponent make a move, the petite girl patiently stood there as her eyes continued to bore into her opponent. There was absolutely no sign of fear or alarm on her face, as she stoically remained standing in the same position.
A trace of worry flashed across the boy’s face, but he paidno heed to it when he realized that he had almost arrived in front of the petite girl!
Clenching his fists tighter, the boy drew his right arm back and just as he was preparing to launch his blow, the flames around the girl abruptly surged as they covered her entire body!
Watching the current scene unfold, the crowed all shouted and cheered in excitement!
This was the reason they all came here for.
Passion!
Youth!
