Because of the two previous bummers, Micheal's and Nyla Reid's fight had become the center of attention during this third round. Everyone's gaze was on Micheal and Nyla Reid. A fight between these two, who would be the last one standing? Even Evan Clarke and Victoria Parker were watching this with serious expressions. They all wished to know more about his abilities.
Under everyone's gaze, two figures simultaneously jumped onto the third fighting stage, these two were Micheal who was dressed full black and Nyla Reid who was wearing leather trousers and a blue long fur coat.
"Who do you guys think will win?"
" it is hard to say who will win. We don't know the extent of Ghost's power and we have only seen him fight once"
"It's indeed hard to tell, but Nyla's seduction skill is unparalleled. Her's Seduction Skill and her ability to confuse someone's mind is not something to take lightly"
On the fighting stage, Micheal stood opposite Nyla. Her body was soft and curvy, she had a perfect muscle to fat ratio and a perfect structure. A pair of blue eyes checked out Micheal and scanned his body from bottom to the top.
[Warning! The opponent is trying to attack the host telepathically! Firewall activated!]
The firewall he bought to prevent Gaya from trying anything funny when she merged with him now stopped Nyla.
[Does the host wish to eliminate the intruder or punish the intruder?]
"AH!"
Suddenly the people were startled to hear Nyla's scream as they saw a golden light shot out from Ghost's eyes at Nyla.
"What's wrong?!"
"What happened?!"
The disciples of the Sunrise sect were confused and looking at Nyla's body as blood started to pour out of her eyes, nose, and mouth.
"AH!"
The crowd and the youngster became extremely shocked because he didn't even raise a finger against her but she seemed to be in agony. Even the celebrity disciples had no idea what kind of spell he just used.
"What did he do?!"
"Oh my god!"
Another turmoil appeared in the square. Many of the people couldn't understand the reason behind Nyla's agony and scream.
Just as she was screaming and rolling on the ground, Micheal slowly started to walk towards her.
"Human, what did you do?"
"Look at her carefully Gaya, if someone tried to mess with my mind, this is the result"
Gaya felt extremely afraid as she was glad she didn't try to do anything after he nearly killed her in the tavern room.
"Is he going to kill her?"
"Why is she not surrendering?!"
Sadie and the rest of the SilverMoon girls were looking and shouting at Nyla as Micheal grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. She was shaking and trying to land her feet on the ground but he lifted her higher with just one hand and on the other hand, the lighting cracks started to appear.
Bzzzzhhh
"Did you really think you could play with my mind?"
He asked coldly as she kept gasping for air
"Ghost, DONT!"
From standing on the top, Sadie shouted at Micheal fearing that he would kill her junior in cold blood.
"Nyla! Surrender!"
"Give me one reason why shouldn't I kill her"
"Human, what are you doing?"
Gaya knew it was not his style negotiating without killing her.
"I...will pay you"
Sadie remembered that Orion said Ghost took his quest and one would only take a quest from the guild for one reason, coins.
"I'm listening"
"Is he for real? He's making a deal, on the fighting stage!"
Sadie was relieved to hear him
"Five thousand gold"
Now the crowd gasped for air hearing the amount as Micheal let out a small smile.
"Make it ten"
"How Dare you turn this competi"
"Shut up Alex!"
Alex couldn't bear to see these two turn this prestigious competition and fighting stage into a marketplace but Sadie was not in the mood to take shit from Alex.
"Deal, now please let her go!"
It was not his style to let someone go after they tried to kill him but when he was about to kill her, the system warned him and recommended him to reconsider. It was the first time the system warned him like that and he also realized why the system warned him because killing Nyla Reid would surely piss off the people of SilverMoon, especially Sadie and he was not strong enough to take on her or SilverMoon.
So he chose to use Nyla to earn some money and the favor of Sadie because he had already messed with MorningStar and it would be good to have an alley behind him until he became stronger.
"Alright, a deal's a deal"
As he said, he threw Nyla towards the SilverMoon girls and Hannah Berry was there to catch her friend.
"Nyla, are you alright?"
She was still coughing blood and trying to gasp for air.
Slowly with time, the blood flowing out of her nose and ears stopped but her face still looked frightened and pale. When she landed on the fighting stage, she had immediately applied her seduction Skill on Ghost and tried to confuse him. But, she had never expected that her Seduction skill would not affect him. Not only his mental capacity was beyond her imagination but also her telepathic attack backlashed and almost took her life.
"Thank you"
Nyla said looking at Sadie gratefully. She had already witnessed Ghost's approach. He was not someone who would show mercy just because she was a girl. There was no doubt in her mind that if it wasn't for Saide, he would have killed her.
"You've done me a great favor by sparing my junior, Ghost, if there's anything you require my help, feel free to ask me"
Sadie laughed as she said standing on the top. Her words were meant to openly seduce him.
"Lucky bastard!"
Some of the disciples from the sects cursed him looking at the way she talked to him. She was being flirty and if he wanted, he could spend the night with her alone.
However, Micheal just nodded with an uninterested smile. Compared to Gaya, these women from the SilverMoon are just some run of the mill girls.
With this battle, the finalists had been revealed and the crowd erupted in cheers for the upcoming fights. Until now, Victoria and Evan hadn't fought a single battle, all of their opponents had given up before even attempting to fight.
Only Micheal, the dark horse was the treat for their eyes as he kept their spirit up without boring them. Every time he appeared on the battle stage, with his charisma and power, he would treat them with a memorable battle.
Nobody had expected him to be that strong as there was not much known about his strength previously. He had won all of his battles and after seeing his battle power, they even doubted that Evan and Victoria could defeat him because he seemed extremely powerful for a level 1 Body refining stage warrior.
"Final fight will be between Ghost vs Evan Clarke vs Victoria Parker" Announced Celina and just by hearing the names, the crowd felt goosebumps all over their bodies. The crowd was sure that these three would definitely fight each other without surrendering.
"Hey, do you think Ghost can defeat them?"
"I think Evan and Victoria would try to eliminate him before they fight each other, after all, if Ghost won the final, it would bring shame to both the sects"
"You're overestimating the new guy, he's just a level 1 cultivator while Evan and Victoria both are level 8, it's not a small difference, is it?"
They wanted to see how Ghost would last against Victoria and Evan. But whoever wins the competition, this would surely be a great battle to watch.
"The final will begin in ten minutes on the battle stage one"
Victoria and Evan were surrounded by their classmates discussing their strategy while Micheal relaxedly came to where the Sunrise people were standing.
"Brother Ghost!"
The girls and boys of Sunrise sect felt more attached to him due to his easy-going behavior while the Elders too slowly started to come to an understanding that he's now a disciple of their sect.
"Young man, what's your real name? Where did you come from? A genius like you can't be a nobody"
Reaching the 100th step and defeating a genius like Nyla without even laying a finger on her wasn't something a normal person could do. With his low-level cultivation, it should have been impossible but the youngster before them did just that.
Hearing Elder Sandra's question, Micheal smiled
"I don't have a real name, I came from a very distant land, and back there, people used to call me Ghost, so it became my real name"
Since he had to put on various disguises and lie constantly to reach his target, Micheal was very proficient at lying and because of that, the elders couldn't see any signs of him lying as they believed everything he just said.
"What you just did, making a deal on the battle stage"
Elder Miles frowned thinking what he did was dishonorable but Micheal waved his hand
"Does this old dog want us to go to war with Silver Moon?"
Gaya was not happy with Elder Miles's question as she shouted in Micheal's mind.
"Elder, I think there's a fine line between courage and stupidity, That SilverMoon girl is a genius, and killing a genius is not as simple as killing a normal disciple. If I killed her, not only they would have attempted to take revenge on me but also they would have attacked our whole sect, that won't be a favorable situation for us, would it?
"He's right, Elder Miles, we can't afford to offend these people"
Claire said as the other elders and the disciples nodded their heads.
"But how do you plan to face Evan and Clarke? They won't be easy as Nyla and as you have said, you can't kill them"
"I just beat the crap out of them, easy peasy"
Even though by now they had realized he's a freak of nature, looking at him talk without a worry about the upcoming battle still shocked them.
"Young man, don't be too cocky, I've seen them fight, they are extremely talented and have many powerful spells under in their arsenal"
"Elder, trust me, they can't even lay a finger on me"
