Chapter 538 I Want It All
This!
This is also the rule of the tournament!
After all!
Many branch disciples, in order to achieve outstanding results in the tournament, deliberately suppress their own realms. As long as they want to, they can almost break through the barriers and advance to the next stage at any time!
Like Sean!
Sean signed up for the mid-term and late-stage dark energy matches at the same time. If he chooses to break through in the middle for the late-stage match, then how would the matches in the mid-term take place? It wouldn’t be fair to other mid-stage dark energy disciples!
So!
Be confident, be arrogant, think you’re amazing, want to challenge above your level, fine, but if you break through and then come back down a level, that’s not allowed!
If you dare to break through, then your achievement will only count as the higher level!
“I understand!”
Sean and Hendricks Carter exchanged a glance from afar, nodding and saying, “Thank you for the reminder, Lord Carter!”
Exactly!
Everyone knows the rules of the tournament, and Hendricks Carter is just reminding them. On the surface, he’s reminding Sean, but in reality, he’s reminding those late-stage dark energy disciples. Did you all hear it? This little bastard is above you all in the first stage. He can’t break through, doesn’t dare to break through, so give it your all and beat him up!!!
Soon!
All one hundred and eight late-stage dark energy participating disciples stepped onto the giant arena. Sean was already the center of attention, and now, with his second appearance on stage, he was even more eye-catching. Everyone couldn’t help but wonder, can this guy really dominate the late-stage dark energy matches like he did against Mia Lightning earlier???
At this moment!
The headquarters disciple walked up to the stage for the third time with the draw box. After a moment of hesitation, under everyone’s gaze, he once again walked straight towards Sean!
“Damn!”
“Is Great Ape drawing first again?”
“Is this intentional?”
Not to mention the onlooking disciples, even Sean himself couldn’t help but frown. However, when he noticed the distribution of seventeen disciples from the other branches, his heart suddenly realized!
Each branch has six disciples, with three drawing lots in the front and three being drawn in the back!
Sean realized!
Unlike the previous early and mid-stage matches, this time, many elite disciples from other branches stood in the back, waiting to be drawn by others. It seemed like they weren’t worried about the situation where geniuses would face each other in the first round!
In other words!
Whether Sean chooses to draw lots, or is drawn by someone else, he might encounter popular figures from other branches. Once he encounters them, it will be a huge obstacle for Sean!
This!
Should also be the means of that old man, Hendricks Carter, right?
“Please!”
The headquarters disciple came to Sean and handed him the draw box. He let Sean draw first, obviously worried that if Sean drew late, the popular figures would be drawn by others!
“Okay!”
Sean wasn’t afraid. With his strength, crossing the first stage, even if he encounters the so-called popular figures from other branches and the leading figures in the late stage dark energy, he is confident in winning the match. However, it might be more difficult, and he might even get injured!
What Sean was worried about was, if he is unlucky and actually draws one of the popular figures from other branches, and wins, exposing his combat power completely. Patric Harris might see that he’s not his match, get scared, and not dare to challenge him later, what to do then?
So!
As he drew the lot, Sean silently prayed in his heart, hoping not to encounter those popular figures!
“Plainwater Town branch Great Ape! versus…”
From the draw box, he drew a bamboo slip at random, and Sean didn’t even look at it, directly handing it over to the headquarters disciple. The headquarters disciple looked at it and his face, once full of anticipation, suddenly turned sour!
Obviously!
The result of Sean’s draw did not turn out as he had hoped!
Moments later!
The headquarters disciple looked at Sean and gritted his teeth, saying, “Plainwater Town branch Great Ape, versus Whitefall branch Felix Drake!”
Wow!
As soon as the words fell, there were whispers all around!
Felix Drake!
Among the six from Whitefall branch, one person’s face suddenly turned dark, filled with surprise. How coincidental is this???
Exactly!
Very coincidental!
Dana, who was watching from below the stage, also had her pupils shrink, her eyebrows furrowed, very surprised by the result!
Little did they know!
That disciple named Felix Drake from Whitefall branch was the one who had just discussed with Dana privately for half a day. He had analyzed the strength of “Great Ape” and the current situation for Dana, but he never dreamt that within the blink of an eye, “Great Ape” had become his opponent!
“This…”
An intermediate dark energy disciple beside Dana awkwardly smiled and said, “Dana, in this first stage of the late-stage dark energy match, although Felix is not the top in our branch, he’s not as good as those popular figures. But with his strength, he should have no problem dealing with the mid-stage Great Ape!”
“So!”
“With Felix clearing the obstacles for Dana, she doesn’t have to lower herself and make those sinful secret deals with Lord Carter!”
However!
Dana’s expression was extremely serious, showing no relaxation. She was wondering, can Felix really defeat Great Ape?
It’s probably…
Very difficult!!!
Pastiff and Hastiff on the observation platform also let out a breath of relief. They were very aware of Sean’s combat power. In their view, as long as they didn’t encounter the popular figures from other branches before the finals, Sean had a good chance of winning. Once he reached the finals, the mid-stage dark energy matches would be over. Sean would break through to the late stage, participate in the final peak battle with the strength of the late stage, and it was not impossible to become the champion of the late stage dark energy!
“It’s fate!”
“It’s all fate! People can’t compare to fate. It seems that Mr. Great’s luck is good. It seems that the heavens are also on his side. There’s nothing we can do. As the saying goes, with help from above, you can do anything!”
Pastiff couldn’t help but chuckle, deliberately teasing Hendricks Carter!
Hendricks Carter’s face turned green!
Amidst a murmur of discussions, the one hundred and eight late-stage dark energy branch disciples formed their teams. Felix Drake stood face to face with Sean. He hesitated for a moment, then in a voice that only they could hear, he said solemnly, “I admit, you are outstanding. You have a great chance of winning the first stage of the mid-stage dark energy!”
“But!”
“In this first stage of the late-stage dark energy, it’s not where you can act recklessly!”
“So!”
“I want to make a deal with you!”
Upon hearing this!
Sean was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, “Oh? What deal?”
Felix Drake directly said, “The champion of the mid-stage dark energy is very important to Dana. She can only win, not lose, it’s a must-win situation for her! As for the champion of the late-stage dark energy, we, the Whitefall branch, are not interested in competing for it!”
“Therefore!”
“As long as you promise me to cooperate with Dana in the future matches, assist her in winning the mid-stage dark energy championship, then, as an exchange condition, the six dark energy disciples from our Whitefall branch can all become your helpers afterwards to assist you in winning the late-stage dark energy crown!”
“For example!”
“I’ll intentionally go easy later, only defend, not attack, and even actively admit defeat, send you into the second round of the late-stage dark energy!”
A trade!
Felix Drake’s words surprised Sean. He never expected that just before the match, Felix Drake would quietly propose such a condition. Trading the mid-stage dark energy championship for the late-stage dark energy crown sounds pretty good!
Seeing Sean hesitate, Felix Drake continued, “You are currently in the mid-stage dark energy realm. For you, the value of the late-stage dark energy championship is much greater than the mid-stage one!”
“This trade is your chance, a win-win situation!”
It has to be admitted, although Felix Drake’s age wasn’t old, his scheming was deep. He could be considered a cunning old fox. On one hand, he had Dana make deals with Hendricks Carter, while on the other hand, he came to make a deal with Sean. By doing this, he completely gained the upper hand, making decisions based on the upcoming situation, and he’d be able to act according to the circumstances. Eventually, who to help, who to betray would all be his judgement!
“Is that so?”
Sean smiled and asked, “We don’t seem to be familiar, right? Today’s the first time we meet. I only found out your name half a minute ago. Why should I trust you? After helping Dana win the championship, what’s stopping you from betraying me later?”
“Or!”
“Why should you trust me? After you send me into the second round, what’s stopping me from breaking my promise and kicking Dana out?”
“Are we just going to rely on this kind of shady verbal agreement between the two of us?”
“Hehehe…”
Sean’s smile became even brighter, with a hint of disdain. He shook his head and said, “Are you stupid? Or do you think I’m stupid? Coming up with such a childish trade, like playing house with a three-year-old?”
“You!!!”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Felix Drake was incensed by Sean’s words, and through gritted teeth, he asked, “So, are you refusing?”
“What then?”
Sean retorted, “Are you not interested in the late-stage dark energy championship? It seems to me that you have no hope of winning, right?”
“Just with you guys, wanting to help me win the late-stage dark energy crown? What a joke. You also need the strength for it!”
“Furthermore!”
“Whether it’s the mid-stage champion or the late-stage champion, only a child would make a choice. I want it all, and I don’t need your help. I can get what I want on my own. It’s only the weak who engage in these messy secret dealings!”
“So!”
“You don’t need to go easy on me, because you’ll soon realize that even if you don’t hold back, you can’t stop me from entering the second round of the late-stage dark energy!!!”
Confidence!
As Sean uttered these words, he exuded an unparalleled sense of confidence all over his body. In his eyes, no matter who it was, whether they were elite disciples or popular figures, he could push through them all the way until the end!
“Good!”
“Very good!!!”
A cold light shot out from Felix Drake’s eyes, a surge of dark energy emanated from his body, and he stared at Sean, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, snorting, “In that case, I’ll let you see how foolish your arrogance truly is!!!”
“Begin!!!”
At the moment Felix Drake’s words landed, the headquarters disciple walked down from the arena with the draw box. With a loud shout, the first round of the late-stage dark energy match officially began!
Boom!!!
The raging Felix Drake was like a hungry wolf or a fierce tiger. The pent-up surging dark energy erupted in an instant. Leaping into the air, he raised his massive fist, enveloped with unmatched chilling dark energy, and smashed it fiercely towards Sean. Looking at his fierce momentum, it didn’t seem like a friendly sparring match, but rather, he seemed to want to take Sean’s life on the fighting stage!!!
