God Of War Dad

Suddenly!

Whispers and murmurs spread through the crowd, with most eyes focusing on popular figures like Sean, Dana, and Raymond, anticipating their performances!

Even!

Many people were privately betting on who would come out on top in this first phase of the competition in dark energy intermediate, and whether they could keep the time under five seconds, surpassing the initial winner in dark energy early stage!

Essentially, everyone was hesitating between Sean, Dana, and Raymond!

Not to mention the onlookers from various branches, even the old folks sitting on the viewing platform couldn’t resist getting involved, with someone smilingly asking, “Gentlemen, what do you think the outcome of this match will be?”

As soon as the words were spoken!

One of the Lords from headquarters said, “If nothing unexpected happens, Great Ape, Dana, and Raymond should be in the top three, and as for their specific rankings, it will depend on fate!”

“I personally think that if Raymond directly uses Thunderblade, unless he encounters an opponent of equal strength, there is a high chance of defeating the enemy!”

Thunderblade!

It was a move of utmost Yang and strength, belonging to the most vigorous and fierce category, one that could achieve victory in a single blow and was Raymond’s trump card, making it difficult for opponents at the same level to defend against!

“However!”

The representative from headquarters added, “This is only the first round of the competition. Rank is not important for Raymond, so if he is not determined to win first place, there is no need to use Thunderblade!”

Indeed!

No need!

The opponents in the later rounds will become stronger, and revealing one’s trump card and depleting one’s dark energy in the first round is not wise, as winning the first round is sufficient to pass!

“Hmm!”

Someone nearby nodded in agreement and said, “That makes sense. By this logic, Great Ape may be aiming for first place, while for others, reaching the top three might be the goal, but for him, it is the bare minimum!”

“So!”

“For safety’s sake, he is very likely to go for first place!”

Upon hearing this!

Others all voiced their agreement!

According to the rules of the tournament, a person participating in competitions of two realms simultaneously must achieve a good result in the lower realm to qualify for the higher realm’s competition. As the competitions in the three realms are held staggered, it is impossible to wait for the final ranking in the lower realm before deciding whether to participate in the higher realm’s competition!

Therefore!

Sean must enter the top three in every round of the dark energy intermediate competition. Otherwise, failure to do so in any round may result in the disqualification to participate in the dark energy advanced stage competition at any time!

Almost everyone was discussing!

However!

There were a few exceptions, such as Donald Sitwell, Hendricks Carter, Hastiff, Pastiff, and Thomas Harris… Donald Sitwell was not interested in speculating, Hendricks Carter seemed to have a different plan, and while Hastiff and Pastiff wanted to support Sean even in Donald Sitwell’s presence, they dared not speak out. As for Thomas Harris, whether Sean could enter the top three was not important to him and would not affect Patrick Harris’s challenge to Sean later on!

“Please!”

In the midst of this lively and eerie atmosphere, the same disciple from headquarters who had presented a box of tokens before now stepped up onto the massive competition platform with a sign box in hand, and without hesitation walked straight towards Sean after picking out a token, signaling, “Choose your opponent!”

Damn!

This action by the headquarters disciple stunned everyone. How could they let “Great Ape” pick the first token? It seemed that this guy enjoyed creating drama and making a big deal out of things by doing this!

“Alright!”

Sean was also surprised for a moment but didn’t mind. He casually drew a token, didn’t even look at it, and handed it directly to the headquarters disciple, appearing confident and indifferent, showing that no matter who was chosen, he didn’t care!

“Plainwater Town branch Great Ape, against…”

The headquarters disciple took the token, glanced at it, and then loudly announced, “Against Mistvale branch Mia Lightning!”

Wow!

As soon as these words were uttered, the whole arena erupted in astonishment! Mia Lightning! This name clearly belonged to a woman, and in shock, everyone involuntarily turned their heads in the direction Mia Lightning was standing. Sean also followed suit!

Sure enough!

In the team from Mistvale branch opposite, a young female disciple with a pale face as white as paper, stared at Sean in disbelief from afar, unable to believe her ears! How unlucky can one be?? Out of fifty-four people, she got picked in this highly unlikely event?

Conversely!

The other branch disciples waiting to be chosen breathed a sigh of relief! Clearly, Great Ape had been attracting too much attention lately, with his terrifying strength and actions leaving people in awe, to the extent that no one wanted to be his opponent!

“Three seconds!”

“Game on!”

Chan and Ken, somewhat disappointed, probably knew Mia Lightning’s level of strength. If Sean was aiming for first place, Mia Lightning would probably not withstand his fierce attack!

Next!

The headquarters disciple walked around with the token box, drawing out fifty-four tokens one by one, matching up the participants for the dark energy intermediate stage. It had to be mentioned that the eighteen branches had a tacit understanding – they let the three strongest participants from each branch come forward to draw tokens, ensuring that the weaker ones were picked. This clever move helped avoid situations where geniuses faced off against each other in the first round, taking advantage of the rules!

Sean strode towards Mia Lightning on the opposite side!

Mia Lightning gritted her teeth, feeling a bit disheartened, but had to muster up the courage to face Sean!

In no time!

All one hundred and eight branch disciples were paired up, ready to fight!

“I’m ready!”

Sean and Mia Lightning faced each other, standing less than two meters apart. Sean nodded and smiled politely at Mia Lightning. Mia Lightning, on the other hand, nervously started, “Mr. Great, you…”

“Begin!!!”

Before Mia Lightning could finish her sentence, the headquarters disciple had already descended from the massive competition platform, signaling the start of the dark energy intermediate stage competition!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

At that moment, the dark energy inside all the participants erupted, transforming the previously calm competition platform into a flurry of dark energy once again!

Swish!

Without any hesitation, Sean turned into a blur, taking a giant step towards Mia Lightning, his demeanor changing from polite to fierce in an instant, ruthless like a tiger, as he launched a punch with unparalleled dark energy straight at Mia Lightning’s delicate body!

Others did the same!

Dana’s speed was at its peak, disappearing in a blink of an eye and reappearing behind her opponent. Just as her opponent’s dark energy erupted, and their fist raised halfway, they felt a sudden chill on their neck, realizing they had been grabbed by the throat. Soon after, an overwhelming force struck them, and even with all their strength, they only managed to hold on for about three seconds before being sent flying like a ragdoll, soaring over ten meters away before hitting the competition platform with a loud thud!

Defeat!

According to the tournament rules, falling off the platform was also considered a defeat. Therefore, Dana cleverly took advantage of this rule, as she was near the edge of the platform and chose this method of victory, achieving her goal while saving her dark energy – a move that served two purposes!

A single move!

Dana, the genius disciple who had walked ninety-three meters out of a hundred in the bamboo forest, defeated her opponent with just one move, though due to the opponent’s resistance, it took about four seconds!

On the other side!

As guessed by the spectator at the viewing platform, Raymond did not use his trump card Thunderblade in the first round, instead relying on his innate strength and delivering powerful blows!

Bang!

One punch sent his opponent flying three to four meters back!

Raymond followed up with another punch, crossing the distance in a single swift step, and delivered a second mighty blow!

Bang!

His opponent couldn’t withstand the second punch, and with a muffled sound, was sent flying back again, this time three to four meters away. Gasping for air and unable to hold on, they lasted for only about three seconds before being knocked out and thrown off the competition platform!

“Don’t… don’t hit me anymore!”

“I surrender!”

Having just spat out blood, Raymond came charging towards him again, scaring the disciple, who turned green in the face. Panicked and unable to think too much, they immediately surrendered!

No choice!

From the moment they were picked by Raymond, the disciple’s heart had been bleeding. Taking two punches from Raymond was already their limit, and if they were hit by a third, it wouldn’t just be a simple case of spitting blood – the likelihood of being left disabled was high!

Hence!

Seeing the danger, they surrendered promptly, realizing that surrendering was the best option to avoid further harm!

Five seconds!

It took Raymond two punches to defeat his opponent, taking five seconds, one second slower than Dana!

After defeating their respective opponents, neither Dana nor Raymond was happy about winning the first round. Their immediate reaction was to turn around and look towards the direction where Sean and Mia Lightning were!

Clearly!

As highly regarded figures in the dark energy intermediate stage, both Dana and Raymond were paying close attention to Sean!

However!

To Dana and Raymond’s astonishment, when they looked over to the opposite side at the same time, Sean’s figure was nowhere to be seen. Only Mia Lightning was left lying silently on the competition platform, her pure white clothes dyed red with blood, a sharp bloodstain at the corner of her mouth, eyes closed, seemingly… fainted!NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Tragic!

More tragic than Dana’s and Raymond’s opponents!

Damn!

What a cruel hand to crush flowers like this!

That bastard Great Ape, how could he be so ruthless? How could he go this far? Doesn’t he have any shame???

In shock!

Dana and Raymond’s gazes were sharp as they scanned the area, quickly spotting Sean’s whereabouts outside the competition platform, within the Plainwater Town branch camp. Sean, that bastard, had already finished the competition and returned to Betty Jefferson’s side at some point!

“This…”

Dana and Raymond’s pupils contracted, their gazes towards Sean becoming even more serious. Though they hadn’t seen the battle between Sean and Mia Lightning, such a result could be guessed by even a fool – Sean was likely even more powerful than they had previously thought!

And so!

Dana returned to the Plainwater City camp, Raymond to the Tigerroar camp, each turning to their teammates from the same branch to ask the same question!

“Great Ape!”

“How many seconds did it take for him to defeat Mia Lightning???”
