Marcello stepped forward and said, “There’s no need to waste our time. I’ll simply fight against everyone else.”
“Oh?” Stunned, the shadow looked at Marcello and asked, “Are you saying that you intend to challenge everyone here?”
“Yes.” Marcello nodded.
“Good!” The shadow cheered, “I love courageous folks like you. How about this? If you can defeat everyone else here, I’ll also give you the right to advance to the ninth barrier straight away.”
“Remember to keep your word,” Marcello said smilingly.
Hearing this, The Son of Heaven was displeased.
When favonovel.com saw that Marcello had the right to advance to the final barrier, favonovel.com stepped forward and asked, “What right does favonovel.com have to be given such a prerogative? Everyone made their way here with our effort and hard work alone. Why do they have the right to advance directly to the final barrier? I object to this.”
The shadow looked at favonovel.com and asked, “Are you displeased with my decision?”
“Yes,” the Son of Heaven said with determination, “I should also have the right to challenge everyone else except for him.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com pointed at Marcello.
“This certainly complicates things.”
The shadow was lost in thought.
Marcello looked at the Son of Heaven and smiled faintly, saying, “Why don’t we have a fight, then? Whoever emerges victorious will gain the right to pass the barrier.” Marcello challenged favonovel.com to a duel.
James was instantly displeased.
“What is the meaning of this, Marcello? I finally have the chance to advance to the final barrier straight away. Don’t you dare complicate things.”
Their back and forth irritated the Son of Heaven.
“Enough!” the shadow roared.
Upon hearing this, everyone shut their mouths.
After thinking for a moment, the shadow said, “How about this? James, you’ll fight against the Son of Heaven first. If you win, you get to head to the final barrier immediately.”
“Marcello, you’ll fight against the remaining challengers. If you win, you get to head to the final barrier as well.”
“As for you, Son of Heaven, you may head to the next barrier once you win against James. However, you have the option to fight against everyone else. If you emerge victorious, you get to head to the final barrier as well.”
After it, it looked at the others.
“The same goes for the rest of you. You may head to the final barrier straight away if you can defeat the Son of Heaven. Of course, you can also choose to fight against everyone else. Are there any objections?”
The shadow’s voice boomed.
Everyone looked at one another. No one here was a weakling, especially Xain, Samarth, and those who had reached the Supernatural Consummation rank. They were only a step away from becoming Herculeans.
Though they might not possess the strength to fight against everyone else, they stood a chance against the Son of Heaven alone.
Xain was the first to step forward.
He looked at the Son of Heaven and said, “I’ll challenge the Son of Heaven.”
Samarth chimed in, “Me too.”
Yandel smiled, “I’d like to challenge favonovel.com as well.”
The offer to advance directly to the final barrier was simply too enticing. Even though their opponent, the Son of Heaven, was a Herculean, they were all cultivators at the Supernatural Consummation rank. That was why they chose to take the risk. Besides, they were confident in their own strength as they had cultivated their signature martial art skills. They might not lose against the Son of Heaven in a fight.
“I choose to fight against everyone else!” At that moment, a voice came.
Everyone immediately turned their heads.
