From MC's perspective:
Duel Day,
I'm getting ready in my room.
Meanwhile,
Franklin Madden and Kane Patrick having a serious discussion.
"How confident are you?" Franklin asked, sitting down leisurely inside his cabin.
"I'm 100% sure," Kane replied in a calming tone.
Franklin showed a hint of approval in his eyes.
His long cherished dream is going to be a full day. Once Zack Lockwood is dead. He can use that momentum to raise the fame of the Flame Faction.
Then he would somehow convince the old man to make that b! tch resign. If it happens, it won't be long before he gets the dean's seat.
Kane Patrick frowned. He doesn't know how many times he has heard the same question in the last 2 days.
But one thing is certain, he can't give up. Since it's a life-or-death duel, he has to give it all to survive.
He doesn't know who came up with the idea of the life-or-death duel. But someone doesn't want Zack Lockwood to survive.
Which made the job easier for him. Zack Lockwood has recovered his undefeated streak. Many say Zack has no rival in the Elite Category. But he is going to prove all of them wrong today.
Then next time, everyone will remember his name.
Both the faction head and his students have a strong imagination.
Meanwhile,
Dean Rebecca is reviewing reports. She doesn't want any mishap to happen during the duel. Through it a life or death duel.
She can tell that the Supreme Elder doesn't want Zack to survive. If any situation arises for him to win. Then Franklin Madden would do some trickery.
To avoid such things to happen. She has placed the guardians to monitor suspicious people.
Sigh~
A soft sigh left her mouth. This could be her last day as a dean. She has made up her mind. Things are going beyond her powers. She can't confront the Supreme Elder at all.
If Zack's words are true, then she can tell that the Academy is going to face serious trouble. This might be coming from Zack's background.
At first, the Supreme Elder was the one who wanted her to protect Zack. Because he had promised the person behind Zack.
Now he backtracks and convinces Zack to participate in the life-or-death duel. This is no different from assassinate or murder.
Time flies,
Around 10 am. Everyone is entering the duel arena. The spectator area is getting filled quickly.
Meanwhile,
In the dormitory,?I stopped looking at the articles. It's time to leave. Jonathan is going to watch the duel in secret. He won't expose himself in front of others.
But I believe if the Supreme Elder plays a trick, he would block it. Besides, my body is getting used to the new lightning ability.
I have not mastered it yet. But I believe I can kill Kane Patrick without using it.
Then I left the room and walked out of the dormitory room.
On the way, I came across other warriors. Many saw me and gave me a curious look.
Ignoring their gazes, I started walking towards the duel arena. Not long after, I came across Ernest.
He joined me as well.
"I still can't believe it's going to be a life-or-death duel," Ernest said. But his expression is not good-looking.
Hearing that I responded with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm going to live. But it's a pity that Kane Patrick has chosen a dead end," I replied to him.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Laverne has come to watch your duel," Ernest said.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
"Laverne is here," I muttered to myself.
Then we started heading towards the duel area. When we reached the entrance. I saw Laverne was wearing a blue dress.
Upon seeing us, she quickly came to us.
"Ernest!"
"Zack!"
"How are you guys doing?"
Laverne asked with a bright smile on her face.
"We are fine," Ernest said.
Laverne nodded her head before turning towards me.
"What about you Zack?"
"I heard it was a life or death duel. Are you going to be fine?" Laverne asked in a solemn tone.
Though Ernest and her Super Elite Warrior. But during their Elite stage. They also had tough opponents.
But they didn't have an undefeated record.
On the other hand, I understand the meaning behind her words.
"Both of you are worrying unnecessarily," I said to them.
Laverne's eyebrows ease down a little bit.
Then we parted ways, and I entered the office. While they walked towards the spectator area.
A few minutes later,
After signing the contract, I left the office. Then I walked into the duel arena.
Roar~
The spectator area was full of crowds. Their loud voices are ringing in my ears. Then I walked up to the dueling stage and waited for the opponent to appear.
In the spectral area,
Ernest and Laverne found their seats in the Special Faction Area. Both of their appearances are eye-catching.
As there are many empty seats in their area. While for other factions hardly any seats left.
On the other hand,?Franklin Madden didn't fail to notice two of them.
"Harumph," He gave a cold snort. After today, the Special Faction will be done and dusted. There is no one to support them.
Similarly, The RainWater Faction Head is here today. Alice Brown frowned. She has the same opinion as the dean.
Life or death duels are not necessary at all. Even when Zack fought against the Giant Tower Academy student. It was a normal duel.
She is wondering who came up with this plan. Looking at Franklin Madden in high spirits. Her mood worsens.
She feels the duel is more like a trap to eliminate Zack Lockwood.
What is more shocking is that the dean has approved the duel. Alice Brown showed complicated emotions.
The Metal Faction Head and Earth Faction Head are also looking at the duel. But then remain indifferent to the drama.
They don't care what happened to either of them. The result was not going to their factions.
10 minutes later,
Kane Patrick appeared together with the referee. Upon seeing Zack Lockwood, Kane Patrick sneered inside.
Others don't know but the Supreme Elder has given special instructions to the referee. He will stand on his side.
So for this duel, Kane Patrick has no doubt.
With an evil grin on his face. He walked up to the stage and stood opposed to me.
My gaze fell on him before I turned toward the spectator area. Jonathan must be somewhere here.
The referee nodded at Kane Patrick before starting the duel.
Boom~
When the duel started. Kane Patrick burst out with a great spell. Scorching flames covered both of his legs.
On the other hand, I am ready to use the lightning defense technique.
When he got closer to me. I released the lightning technique.
"Lightning Wheel"
The next second, a purple lighting wheel appeared around me. It appeared in an instant that even Kane Patrick was startled.
But he continued to raise his fist to slam.
Boom~
When both of us collided. A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area. Smoke covered the ground quickly.
Smash~
On the other hand, Kane Patrick crashed onto the ground. The lightning power left a superficial injury on his skin. But soon, Kane got up from the ground.
When the smoke settled down.?Kane looked at Zack with a solemn gaze.
On the other hand, I recalled the last moment of the clash. Just before the clash, Kane covered his body with red flame.
It happened for a moment. But the next second, the lightning wheel had exploded. The red flame was not simple.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
"Lightning Finger Technique,"
Without giving him any opportunity to think. I released the finger attack. A powerful beam was released from the tip of the finger and shot at the target.
Kane Patrick again covered his legs with red flames. When the attack got near. He burst out at full speed to escape from the attack.
Swish~
The lightning attack hits the empty floors.
Boom~
Once again a terrible sound reverberated throughout the area.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. "That was fast," I said in my heart. He was able to dodge that attack. Which means the red flame gives him accelerated speed.
But I'm going to test him more.
Swish~
One after another, I released the lightning attack. Kane Patrick used the red flame to dodge the lightning attack one by one.
Boom~
For a few seconds, the duel stage is continuously bombarded with lightning attacks.
In the Spectator area,
Franklin Madden sneered. He can see that Zack Lockwood was not that domineering against Kane Patrick.
Meanwhile, Kane's red flame is withstanding the dominating nature of the lightning attack.
So both of them are having tough fights with each other.
Not only him, but Jonathan was also watching the duel. Those red flames remind me of the Inner Post Warriors. He couldn't help but think that Kane's cultivation technique comes from the inner post.
