Dueling Stage,
Rebecca knitted her eyebrows. She is directly hiding in the void. She also noticed the actions of the red elder and Franklin.
She is not worried that the red elder would do something. But her gaze fell on the dueling stage. Where Zack is confronting the Giant Tower Warrior.
As per the word, the Giant Tower Warrior should suppress his realm and fight. Now that the Giant Tower Warrior broke the rules. She decided to intervene in this duel when there is a threat for Zack.
She also witnessed Zack's progression. She only knew about the finger technique from the written records. But after witnessing the lightning finger technique in person.
She felt everyone had underestimated the power of the technique. The attack can injure warriors above one realm easily.
So she decided to watch more. And this also gives her an opportunity to understand Zack's bottom line.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Giant Tower,
The elders' eyes were filled with killing intent. "It was the first time for me to witness the power of lightning. It's truly violent and domineering as per record says," One of the elders made a comment.
"Yeah, it's a pity. He is not ours," certain elder said with a sigh.
The Giant Tower Head frowns. He clearly didn't like the actions of Ron. He shouldn't have suppressed his realm. For others it's a challenging duel.
But for him it's clearly a mission. Instead of using the opportunity to kill, he had suppressed his realm to fight.
He was also surprised by the power of the lightning. Fortunately, the lightning brat was exposed in the competition.
Otherwise they wouldn't have got that intel. He only fears that the old hag would intervene in this duel. If it happens then everything would be for not.
And next time, it would be very difficult to kill that lightning brat.
....
From MC's Perspective:
Dueling Stage,
The opponent has released the golden fist technique again. Right after several golden fist shots at me.
Seeing a thick oppressive aura around the golden fist. I realized this is a peak power of the elite.
When the attack reached closer to me. I burst out with great speed using lightning phantom technique.
I disappeared from the spot and evaded all those attacks in a blink of an eye. Then I released "Blood Field Technique '' for a short moment.
This was all happened in a blink of an eye,
Ron who was smiling happily. Suddenly he felt a bad premonition in his heart. It was so sudden that before he could think of it his brain went blank.
Followed by heart wrenching pain. No one from outside can see what had happened. Ron was feeling internally.
At the same time, I released the lightning finger technique right after the blood field technique.
A thick purple color formed at the tip of my finger. The next second, the lightning beam is shot at him. In a blink of an eye, it reaches the target and lands a huge at his chest part.
Boom!
The lightning hit caused his body to fly backward like a broken kite and got smashed into the ground.
Ron who was experiencing heart wrenching pain was caught off guard by the attack. There is not even a golden cover to protect his physique.
Pfff!
He coughed up blood from the terrible impact force. At this moment, he was completely woken. When he opened his eyes to look around. He saw he was thrown off from the stage.
"What happened?" He said in his heart. He only remembers going blank for a moment and experiencing severe pain. But now he sees his chest region was injured.
He is clearly feeling the cracking in the bones. When did he release his finger technique? He then looked toward Zack on the dueling stage with horror.
The feeling of unknown sent a terrible chill down his spine. And with this deep injury, he can't continue the duel even if he wants to. Because he was eliminated.
He was thrown off the dueling stage. A wry smile appeared on his face. He doesn't know how to explain this unknown to the red elder and the Giant Tower head.
But next second, he remembers the stern warning from the Giant Tower Head. The Giant Tower Head doesn't want to hear about the mission failure.
Gritting his teeth, he decided to walk up to the dueling stage to fight again.
"Zack wins the official duel"
When he was lost in thoughts, he heard the loud voice. Which reached the entire stadium. He raised his head to see. A figure appeared before everyone who is none other than Rebecca.
Meanwhile,
On the dueling stage, I sighed in relief after hearing the announcement. And the voice seems so familiar. The next moment, I see Dean Rebecca appear before us.
Finally, I relaxed a lot.
Rebecca's eyes fell on Zack for a moment before turning toward the red elder.
The red elder himself couldn't believe his own eyes. The Peak Elite warrior was thrown off the stage strangely by the lightning attack. He doesn't know how to explain the situation.
But what's more annoying is that the dean of the academy appears here. How long has been she watching the duel?
He can't take action under her nose. The mission was a total failure.
The audience was also in a state of shock. But after hearing the dean's voice. Everyone erupted in cheer.
The duel was way beyond their expectations. Nobody had thought someone could fight across two big realms. Especially Zack's performance broke their cognition.
This was the first time everyone had witnessed the power of a special element called the lightning element.
Special Faction Common Room,
Three of Zack's classmates got up from the ground. "How could it be?" Ernest Kirk uttered in surprise.
Earlier, three of them worried about Zack. But now three of them have strange expressions on their faces. Mostly it was shock and disbelief.
A complicated glint flashes in Michael's eyes.
He said,"Looks like we all misunderstood him."
Laverne asked, "What do you mean?"
Ernest also looked at him. He thinks Michael might have spotted something.
"Have you noticed one thing?"
"Zack used a new lightning technique this time," Michael said.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned upon Ernest. "That's right, Zack said before that he had only three lightning techniques. One sword attack technique, a defensive technique and a speed technique."
"So what's about this finger technique?" Ernest said.
Laverne widened her eyes in disbelief. Everyone misunderstood that Zack is being cooked up in his room. And he was taking too much time to adapt.
But now their view was completely broken.
Michael remained silent. What he didn't tell others was Giant Tower Warrior's late reaction? How come the Peak Elite Warrior failed to react?
If he had used the golden defense technique, the lightning beam wouldn't have penetrated.
So why didn't he use the defensive technique?
Michael became more confused. But when he saw the appearance of the dean. He eases down his eyebrows.
On the other hand, Giant Tower Warrior Ron was taken to the clinic. He still has a lingering lightning element left in the injured parts.
Seeing that Red Elder and other Giant Tower members immediately left the stadium and walked towards the clinic.
Rebecca nodded her head after seeing the red elder's actions. Then she instructed the Vice-dean to follow them. Before disappearing she uttered,"Zack you can return back to the dorm."
On the dueling stage, I feel a huge being lifted off from my shoulder. Fortunately, Dean Rebecca is here. Otherwise, the Giant Tower Elder might have done something.
Then I turned around and walked toward the exit. I still hear the roaring chants of my name. I twitched my mouth.
Hereafter, everyone will know my name. It would be similar to the Red City. But the scale would be completely different.
I hope to reach Mid-level in essence before the enemy comes up with other sinister schemes.
A few minutes later, I returned to my dorm room. Then I checked the online posts. The duel was a live event. I know it must have created an impact.
But right after seeing the headline, my eyes lit up with surprise. The students already started doing comparisons. Especially I see many unfamiliar names from each faction.
Then I began to go through the post. After a few minutes, I realized what was going on.
Some of the names mentioned in the posts were top 5 warriors in each faction. Surprisingly none of them were in the academy at this moment.
And those warriors who got a win against the Giant Tower Warriors were not even in the Top 5. Which was very surprising. I bet after this everyone wants to challenge me.
Then, shaking my head, I closed the online site.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Giant Tower,
The atmosphere becomes solemn. None of them expected to witness such a result. What happened in the end? The elders looked at each other for some explanation.
But everyone remained silent and finally turned toward the head.
The Giant Tower Head's eyes flickered with murderous intent.
