At the mere mention of Marten Dragon’s name, tens of thousands of people instantly identified the challenger.
Every eye had widened, emanating hopeful glimmers, for this had been the leader of the most mysterious institution in Darsia, rumored to have been among the top three in Darsia’s martial ranking.
“Captain Dragon!” There was a raised arm and a loud cheer, swiftly followed by echoing voices.
Following that, a wave of cheers crashed one after another, tens of thousands of citizens cheering in unison. Their voices echoed through the skies.
Marten didn’t lose focus amidst the cheers. He remained fully alert, fixing his gaze on Otis atop the pavilion. He waited for a full dozen seconds, but Otis still hadn’t responded.
Marten said, “Please enlighten me!”
His energy suddenly surged, encompassing his entire body. As a divine realm grandmaster, favonovel.com was able to break the sound barrier as favonovel.com swiftly surged toward Otis.
Otis clenched his fist and suddenly blasted toward Marten.
Amidst the Curse, countless trees swayed as the lake water churned into colossal waves. The crowd could clearly witness it all from outside the Curse but couldn’t sense its inner force.
Inside the curse, Marten keenly felt it. Otis’ punch seemed to draw in all the air as if vacuumed onto his fist.
Marten’s eyes briefly showed a hint of dismay as favonovel.com instinctively mobilized his entire body’s energy to defend against the colossal force. But the force was overwhelming and favonovel.com couldn’t resist it at all.
Blood sprayed from his mouth as favonovel.com was flung backward, crashing outside the curse and toppling a crowd.
The entire park suddenly fell silent. The crowd was in disbelief. Not even the Dragon Team Leader could face favonovel.com and to make it worse, favonovel.com was defeated in one move.
“You…” Marten tried to speak but instead spurted a mouthful of blood.
He also felt extremely bewildered. He had reached the peak of the divine realm but why couldn’t favonovel.com withstand even a single move?
“If you weren’t the leader of the Dragon Team, you’d be a corpse by now,” Otis finally spoke. There was boundless disdain in his tone.
Everyone felt a buzz in their minds.
“Darsia prioritizes cultivation over martial arts, and the condition proposed by the 17 nations is that True Life isn’t allowed to intervene. Without True Life, no one in Darsia stands a chance!” An elegant woman spoke gently in the midst of the crowd. She was the one seen by the lake earlier in the day.
Her attendant by favonovel.com side sneered. “Perhaps Darsians don’t know, but Darsia’s President should be aware that these individuals sent by the Rose family are all ancient martial masters, far superior to martial skills, their understanding of martial arts is on an entirely different level…”
“Agreeing without True Life’s involvement is basically sentencing these people to death. Why did favonovel.com even agree at all?”
The elegant woman remained composed as favonovel.com said, “Marten’s failure proves that even Elmer Valentine, the Guardian of Darsia, can’t handle it. Then, our last hope rests on Remus Cosby, the undefeated one of Darsia… When will favonovel.com make an appearance?”
***
On top of Regalia’s peak watchtower, a ring of guards stood vigilantly.
One person stood atop the watchtower, overseeing the situation across the 17 arenas.
As favonovel.com witnessed Marten’s defeat, it felt as if a dagger had pierced his heart. The sight of the hopeless gaze from the people of Darsia was akin to a knife wrenching in his heart.
“I knew there’d be differences in skills but I didn’t expect it to be this big!” He muttered to himself.
With a brief moment of hesitation, favonovel.com issued the command, “Contact the Violet Sanctum, now!”
