If someone else had said this, they would have burst into laughter and knocked him on the head, but when it comes to this freak of nature, they could not tell that he will lose to Evan and Victoria.
"For the last battle, the three remaining participants will step onto stage one. The last one remaining on stage will be the winner, the battle will begin in a minute"
"Alright, it's time to show them who's the new boss here"
Micheal brushed away the dust on his shoulder and turned around to go to the battle stage. When he was about to take a step forward, someone grabbed him by his hand and he turned and saw the worried face of the sect leader Claire.
"All the best"
If he could win the tournament and give the rewards to the sect, she could settle a portion of the debt to the debt collectors and buy some of their lands back. With Ghost, they now had the chance to survive without closing their gates.
"Thank you, Sect Leader"
He patted the sect leader's soft hands and smiled. Evan and Victoria were already on their way to the stage and the crowd was waiting for him.
While his black robes and hair were fluttering in the wind, he walked towards the stage and landed on the stage with a simple leap.
Looking at the two stars of the younger generation and the dark horse of this tournament, the crowd was really excited.
The last battle was finally going to start. Victoria's strength was obviously incredible. And Evan was just as powerful as Victoria and when these two were fighting, their fight became more than a battle between two individuals as their fight would represent the clash of two big sects. And finally, there was the dark horse, Ghost who seemed extremely powerful and a freak. After seeing what he could do, no one underestimated him looking at his low-level cultivation.
"Step down, you two can't defeat me," said Victoria suddenly in an extremely arrogant way, she looked like she was showing disdain for everything and everyone.
"Don't be too arrogant, Victoria" Evan calmly replied to her.
"You never learn," said Victoria and closed her eyes for a moment. Immediately after, a gigantic golden phoenix made of Arch Energy had appeared behind her back. The phoenix looked like a holographic image but only more realistic and majestic.
"It must be the flaming phoenix spell of the Golden valley"
"She learned it!"
"They said the spell can only be learned by someone who is worthy!"
People muttered and stared at Victoria with a dumbstruck look on their faces and even Evan was startled to see the power coming from the phoenix.
"She definitely deserves to be called the Princess of Golden Valley. She learned the flaming phoenix and it looks so strong and powerful" The crowd was trembling but suddenly a blue light radiated from Evan's body. On his back appeared a White tiger and then, the holographic tiger roared and trembled the entire area with its might.
"Cool," Micheal couldn't help but be impressed by the spells cast by these two as he felt like he was watching a magic show from a front-row seat.
"The majestic tiger!"
"It must be an ancient spell, I can even feel the power the tiger is radiating!"
"This is worth the trip!"
"Evan is so strong. I still can't predict who would win this fight" Many people were filled with emotion when they saw how strong Evan was and how beautiful Victoria was. They were filled with admiration and worship looking at these two. And since the crowd was mostly composed of men, Victoria drew most of their attention with her beauty. Not only was she extremely gorgeous but she was also extremely talented. They were very excited to see how she would develop and what other powers she would show in the future.
" She's extremely powerful and has the flaming phoenix. With that spell, she would be almost invincible"
"I'm not sure. Evan hasn't revealed his full strength yet, so it is impossible to judge"
"Hey don't forget about the Ghost, my guts tell me that he would win this thing"
Everybody was giving their own opinion about who was going to win or lose. But many of them thought that it's either Victoria or Evan. Only a few of them thought Ghost had a chance to win. Even if he was now regarded as someone extremely powerful, the crowd still thought that there were only two people who had a chance to win within the three remaining participants.
Two amazing and mighty cultivators of Bredia Kingdom: Victoria Parker and Evan. On the other side, a mysterious yet powerful youngster. The three of them were on the stage, each of them standing in a triangle formation as Victoria was staring at Evan from the beginning. Evan was also continuously staring at her. They were staring at each other as if they were fighting a one-on-one battle.
While they were engaged in a staring contest, Micheal seemed very relaxed thinking about which skill to invest his badass points after upgrading his cultivation.
After a while, Victoria's attention was finally drawn away from Evan. She had an arrogant smile on her face. "You're somewhat okay, if you wish, you can leave that lowly sect and join us, the Golden Valley. If you do so, I can personally help you with cultivation once in a while." Victoria had a huge smile on her face. She looked completely arrogant, she didn't do it on purpose, but could not hide the arrogance which had been engraved into her very soul.
Micheal didn't like her calling the Sunrise Sect as lowly because compared to them, they taught humanity to their students. Even though he was not a saint to preach about humanity, he was not that bad to watch innocent people get massacred without raising a finger.
In a world that was as cruel as this one, he started to value kindness and compassion more and more.
"You… want to help me in cultivation?" he hid his true emotions and asked. This girl seemed to have considered her as the world's best and completely arrogant down to the last fiber of her being, as expected.
"Indeed, I, personally, can help you in cultivation," said Victoria who didn't know what he really meant. She even thought that he was feeling very honored.
"you have to understand that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I don't usually take on mentoring programs but for you, I can make an exception"
"Can we kill this bitch now, human?"
Victoria's arrogance nauseated Gaya and she couldn't wait to see him teach this arrogant girl a lesson.
Yet, Victoria's proposition was really tempting to common people, many ordinary cultivators would have dreamt of being offered such an opportunity. To have a mentor not only as powerful as she but also pretty and sexy, was simply a dream come true for many disciples of Golden valley.
"Imagine Victoria coming to my room to teach me..."
"Dude, you're drooling"
"Lucky bastard getting such offers from two of my dream girls!"
Many people in the crowd envied Micheal so much and were looking on with eyes full of jealousy. But for Micheal, she was just a joke since he has the best mentor in the world, the system, and besides he already has an arrogant snake to deal with and didn't want another one.
"Uh-huh, I should feel honored?" he asked in a joking and teasing tone. She still failed to realize his sarcasm, unlike Evan.
"Why wouldn't you feel that way?" asked Victoria with a smaller smile on her face than before.
"I pass, you're not good enough to teach me how to cultivate or, anything for that matter"
The moment these words left his mouth, the whole stadium went dead silent and in Evan's eyes, he looked far more arrogant and narcissistic than Victoria. After hearing him, her face reddened in anger as she started to tremble in anger.
"How dare you!" Victoria shouted extremely aggressively in an ice-cold tone.
"Can we just fight and get this over with?"
Micheal shook his head without minding her throwing a temper tantrum and asked Evan.
" Who do you think you are? Today I will break your arrogance and your body," the flaming phoenix behind her opened its mouth and breathed a stream of illusionary fire. And then immediately, her entire body was covered with a magnificent golden light looking like rays of the sun. This magnificent view stunned the eyes of the people in the crowd.
"Flaming Phoenix, how awesome!" said the crowd, amazed. At that moment, Victoria's body looked majestic and radiated a divine aura around her.
"Evan Clarke, I will defeat you first and show who's the real genius of our generation." her long hair was fluttering in the air and coupled with the golden aura which had surrounded her body. The eyes of the crowd sparkled at the sight of her.
"And then I will deal with you"
She didn't even look at Micheal as now all of her focus was on Evan and the white tiger.
"Might of Phoenix"
"Supreme Slap"
She made an incredibly loud noise as Evan saw that she was about to attack, he did the same and started an attack with a loud shout. He didn't think that his majestic tiger spell was going to be weaker than her flaming phoenix spell.
However, when they were both going to be at each other's throats, a bolt of lightning passed right between them breaking their confrontation.
"You two should attack me at once, I don't want the people to think that I only beat you because you two wasted all your energy fighting each other"
"Human, what the f**k are you doing? Let them fight each other and then we can beat the last one standing"
For a moment, everyone in the stadium stopped moving and looked like statues hearing him. Logically speaking, he should have let Evan and Victoria fight first and tried to defeat the one standing because the last one standing would have wasted most of their strength defeating the other and wouldn't have much strength to fight him.
Yet, he stopped them and asked them to attack him together and they looked at him like they were looking at the dumbest person on the planet.
"You're the weirdest human I've ever met!"
