God Of War Dad

This is the headquarters of the Buddha Academy, and naturally it exudes the grandeur unique to a headquarters. Just in terms of the martial arts arena, it is several times larger than the arenas at the branches. One circular arena with a diameter of over a kilometer was specifically built for hosting the Academy-wide martial arts competition!

After all!

There are simply too many disciples from the branches participating in this Academy-wide competition, a total of three hundred and twenty-four people. Each stage consists of one hundred and eight contestants, and according to the rules of the Academy-wide competition, the first round is a one-on-one battle!

Divided into three stages!

One for early-stage dark energy, one for mid-stage dark energy, and one for late-stage dark energy!

Each stage involves all one hundred and eight contestants from the eighteen branches stepping onto the stage, randomly selecting opponents for one-on-one battles. Divided into fifty-four pairs, they simultaneously engage in combat, with the winners advancing to the next round and the losers being eliminated on the spot!

In this way, after the first round of three battles, half of the total number of three hundred and twenty-four participants will be directly cut down!

Might makes right!

It can be said to be extremely ruthless!

The disciples from the eighteen branches lined up around the gigantic arena, clearly demarcated, standing ready in formation. The headquarters’ disciples also came to watch, lively discussions swirling around them, creating an extraordinary atmosphere!

Not far from the gigantic arena, there is a viewing platform about a hundred meters long. Dozens of seats are placed on the platform, either for the Lords and instructors within the headquarters or the branch deans and Lords. However, branch instructors like Kazimir do not have the qualifications to sit up there!

The headquarters’ disciples stood around the viewing platform!

“Mr. Great!”

Betty Jefferson stood beside Sean. Due to the commotion they caused earlier, the two of them inadvertently became the center of attention, attracting the gaze of many onlookers. This made Betty Jefferson unable to help but blush and feel indignant. When she noticed one of the figures on the viewing platform, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she said to Sean, “Look! That person!”

“He’s called Thomas Harris!”

At the mention of this, Sean was taken aback, then followed Betty Jefferson’s gaze to the viewing platform. There, Thomas Harris was also invited to sit on the platform, not far from Hendricks Carter, even exchanging glances with him, seemingly having a good relationship!

“Thomas Harris?”

Sean asked, “Is he Andrew Harris’s brother?”

“Exactly!”

Betty Jefferson nodded and said, “Patric Harris is going to have a life-and-death duel with you above the Academy-wide competition. Thomas Harris personally coming here, I’m afraid it’s not for a good reason. With him present, if anything were to happen to Patric Harris, Mr. Great will have a hard time dealing with it!”

Obviously!

Thomas Harris is definitely not here just to watch!

“No worries!”

Sean shook his head, showing no fear at all, and said with a smile, “This is the Buddha Academy, and the Academy-wide competition has its own rules. Let’s gamble and submit to fate. Can it be that, in front of so many people, he dares to blatantly come out and bully a younger generation like me?”

“Well…”

Betty Jefferson hesitated, considering if Sean were to lose or just injure Patric Harris, then that would be fine. But if he were to publicly execute Patric Harris, who knows what crazy actions Thomas Harris might take?

After hesitating for a moment, Betty Jefferson wanted to advise Sean a few more words. But at this moment, a thunderous shout suddenly rang out like thunder!

“His Royal Highness has arrived!!!”

Donald Sitwell is here!

Yesterday!

Donald Sitwell came to the Buddha Academy in a low-key manner, as it could be considered a private visit. However, today’s occasion is different. He is here to preside over the Academy-wide competition and naturally will not be as casual as yesterday!

Therefore!

With a procession of vehicles, numerous guards, and a grand entourage, the royal palanquin and regal ceremony, everything was grand. His Royal Highness’s majesty was evident at first glance. Draped in a brocade dragon robe, just standing there exuded an aura of supreme dominance, indescribable in its majestic presence!

“Greet His Royal Highness!”

The headquarters’ Lords, instructors, branch deans, Lords, led by Pastiff and Hendricks Carter, immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Donald Sitwell from a distance, showing utmost respect!

“Greet His Royal Highness!”

Whether it was the headquarters’ disciples or the branch disciples, they all knew the rules. In unison, they kneeled before Donald Sitwell, not daring to show the slightest hint of negligence!

Immediately!

The dozens of elderly figures on the viewing platform bowed, the hundreds of academy disciples around them knelt down, and the previously chaotic sea of people suddenly became as still as a dead water!

Chan and Ken, standing beside Sean, also knelt down!

There was no other way!

Faced with the Crown Prince, they had no choice but to kneel!

This was etiquette!

Almost subconsciously, Betty Jefferson also intended to kneel with everyone else!

But…

Just as Betty Jefferson’s legs bent halfway, before she could fully kneel down, her right arm suddenly tightened. A hand grasped her arm, halting her movements. Following that, Sean’s voice whispered in her ear, “You are my woman, no need to kneel!”

“…”

Betty Jefferson stood there dumbfounded, raising her head, looking panic-stricken at Sean!

Sean’s voice was not loud, but he didn’t deliberately try to conceal it!

As a result, many people around heard it!

Then!

Those pairs of eyes, whether astonished, angry, or admiring, all shot towards Sean and Betty Jefferson. The two of them were already the focal points of the entire venue, and now, with such words and actions, they even stole the spotlight from Donald Sitwell!

Damn it!

This “Great Ape” is truly “crafty”!

The news of Sean openly opposing Donald Sitwell from yesterday spread out, and almost all the disciples of the Academy had heard about it. Initially, they were somewhat incredulous. However, now, seeing the scene before them, they believed it!

Courting death!!!

Sean and Betty Jefferson stood isolated among the crowd, while everyone else knelt. They stood out, appearing so different and glaringly obvious!

Betty Jefferson’s palms were sweating!

“Please rise!”

Donald Sitwell was not blind to such a bizarre scene. Naturally, he had noticed. However, contrary to what everyone expected, he did not suddenly become furious and do something to Sean. Instead, just like how Sean had ignored his authority, he directly ignored Sean’s presence, not even looking in his direction. He went straight to the viewing platform, then solemnly said, “The Academy-wide competition is a grand event of the Buddha Academy, and the Buddha Academy is the cradle and sacred land of talent selection in the North Kingdom. I am honored to personally preside over this edition of the Academy-wide competition and witness the extraordinary talents of the academy disciples…”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He praised the Buddha Academy and the academy disciples, serving as an opening speech!

Following that!

Donald Sitwell sat down in the middle of the viewing platform without any hesitation, gesturing, “I now declare that the Academy-wide competition has officially begun!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

Hendricks Carter walked to the front of the platform and loudly declared, “The first match, a battle of matchup in the early stage of dark energy. All participating disciples in the early stage of dark energy, come to the arena and draw lots to find your opponents!”

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, a total of one hundred and eight participants in the early stage of dark energy from the eighteen branches, without hesitation, leaped up like a swarm of locusts, jumping onto that gigantic arena from different directions. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, their eyes sharp and full of fighting spirit. They had toiled in their respective branches for so long, had prepared diligently, and waited eagerly for this moment. The wait was all for this moment, to showcase their own brilliance in front of everyone, to fight for a brighter future and path for themselves and their families!!!
