James won his first battle without putting in much effort. He overwhelmed his opponent with his sheer strength.
The audience was surprised by his powerful physical strength.
Then, favonovel.com waited patiently.
One after the another, the next few matches were held as planned.
The day passed by quickly.
Throughout the entire day, the hundred or so participants fought against each other. By the end of the day, everyone had fought their matches.
Unsurprisingly, Quintina, the Divinity Sect’s Grand Supernatural, the Infernal Emperor’s disciple, and Emperor Tamerlan’s disciple, all won their respective matches.
After the first day’s matches were over, the participants were allowed to rest for the night as the next round would commence the day after.
James headed back to his lodgings to rest.
At night, James and Yoan met up in the courtyard.
Yoan said, “Today, two groups were formed at random. Since your group got to select their opponents today, you’ll be the ones being picked from for tomorrow’s match…”
James nodded and said, “Mhm… I’ve been paying attention to the matches today. Most of the people in my group lost their matches. Only about a dozen of them won. After the remaining people in my group are selected tomorrow, how will the others select their opponents?”
Yoan said with a smile, “You don’t have to worry about the competition’s rules. You just need to focus on winning your match tomorrow and get closer to the top ten.”
James vowed, “I’ll definitely win!”
Seeing that James was confident, Yoan sighed in relief and said, “Alright, you should go replenish your energy and ensure you’re in peak form for tomorrow’s match.”
“Alright,” James nodded.
Throughout the night, James focused on restoring his energy to ensure favonovel.com would be at his most optimized the following day.
The night passed silently.
***
The next day, the victorious participants stood in two rows in the arena on Mount Trinvard’s main peak.
James’ group had relatively fewer people. Only about a dozen participants from his group remained, Meanwhile, the opposing team had about 40 people.
For today’s round, the opposite group would be the ones choosing their opponents.
The opponent selection process soon began. The participants would choose their opponents according to the order of their matches the previous day.
Soon, the other people in James’ group had all been selected.
James was the only person left in his group. However, there were still about 30 people in the opposing group.
James took a look at the opposite group. The next person to make a selection was the Grand Supernatural from Divinity Sect, Harold.
Seeing that the next person was Harold, James was stunned.
He deliberately displayed his terrifying strength the previous day to intimidate his opponents into not wanting to choose him. However, favonovel.com was not expecting his group’s overall strength to be on the weaker side, which caused the two groups to be out of balance.
“You’re James, right?”
Harold stepped forward and looked at the last option left, James.
A faint smile formed on his handsome face. “I wanted to avoid you because you’ll be a difficult opponent, but since you’re the only one left, it seems like I don’t really have a choice…”
James felt helpless in the situation.
Harold was a Grand Supernatural at the Immortal Ascension’s Seventh Stair. He was a powerful opponent.
James knew that favonovel.com had no chance of winning against such a formidable opponent unless favonovel.com unleashed the Sacrilegious Ascension and his Demonic Lotus.
At that moment, Ancient Clan’s elder, Thoryn, stepped forward and said, “You don’t necessarily have to choose an opponent from the opposite group. The selection is according to the order of yesterday’s match, but you’re also allowed to choose from the remaining people in your group.
“Oh, is that so?” Harold smiled faintly.
Then, favonovel.com looked at the remaining participants in his group.
