Chapter 855: Part 2: Reactions from all sides Chapter 855: Part 2: Reactions from all sides From MC’s Perspective: After completing the sword training, I began to anticipate the duel day.
Before the duel, I wanted to be in peak condition.
So I plan to rest one day.
A day before the duel, The arena manager announced the rules for the small competition on an online forum.
Because this small competition will not be over in a day.
Because 320 Warriors are participating.
Everyone should have a fair chance.
So, the Federation Head had told the arena manager to reveal the rules the day before.
Shortly after the rules were published.
People started to notice it.
[Small Internal Competition] [Participants count: 320] [Competition Type: Elimination] [Rules: 320 Warriors were divided into eight groups.
Each group has 40 Warriors.
Warriors who win advance to the next stage.
The loser will be eliminated.
[First Stage: The top 20 Warriors will be chosen from each group.] [Second Stage: Top 10 Warriors will be chosen from each group.] [Third Stage: Top 5 Warriors will be chosen from each group] Â [4th Stage]: The top 5 Warriors from each group will be grouped together.
Then top 20 Warriors will be chosen from it. [5th Stage: The Top 10 Warriors will be chosen.] [6th Stage: The Top 5 Warriors will be chosen.] [7th and Final Stage: The Top 3 Warriors will be chosen] The small competition will take a week to complete.
Each stage will last one full day.
The management best wishes the warriors for the competition.
The rules are crystal clear.
Prior to the duel, the warriors can reach Peak Stage.
If they win, they can advance to the next stage as long as they are not seriously injured. Meanwhile, I read the entire rule in my room.
Since the rules are announced ahead of time, everyone can prepare for the duel.
A quick gleam appears in my eyes.  I had to avoid serious injuries.
Aside from that, I am fully confident that I will win this competition.  The Following day, 9 A.M.in the morning, After getting ready, I went directly to the duel arena.
I know Teacher Lowell will be watching from a special box, along with other officials.
I assumed he would meet me before the duel.
But he had just texted me.
I can understand what he is thinking.
Those who are willing to fight hard against me will reconsider if he appears.
Since he is not with me.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
Others can sigh in relief.  I walked towards the participants’ room.
There are 320 Warriors.
A single room is inadequate for everyone.
I see that several rooms have been opened to accommodate the participants.
I just entered one of the rooms.
When I walked in.
I immediately felt multiple eyes on me.
I swept my gaze over everyone.
“Hello, there are already 30 of us here.
“You can go to the next room,” one of the burly warriors told me.
Gasp!
At the same time, several people exclaimed in surprise upon recognition. “He is Zack Lockwood!” “Personal student of Silver Mark Warrior” “The competition is happening because of him” “He came to our room” People began to speak one by one.
The burly warrior’s face became darker.
He immediately backed away.
I ignored everyone before looking into the small chambers.
These small essence chambers were useful last time. I do not believe it will be necessary for this competition.
Because of the nature of the competition, everyone will be able to fight one duel per day until the finals.  Then I walked up to the window and looked outside.  To my surprise, the spectator area was now open to others.
I can see warriors entering and taking their seats. On the other hand, other warriors had complicated looks on their faces.
They did not expect to meet Zack here.
As time passes, the warriors cast a glance at Zack. A 5 minutes before the start of the competition, The warriors have all arrived for the competition.
Even the Spectator Area was full of people.
An elderly man dressed in a tuxedo appears on the platform.
He appears to be the referee. On the other hand, Lowell and officials are seated in the special box.
From time to time, some officials are flattering Lowell McClain.
While other officials wait to see his downfall.
They do not believe Lowell’s student can defeat veteran SS-Elite Rank Warriors.  Lowell ignored everyone’s reactions.
The reason he was here to check the progress made by his student Zack Lockwood.
Although Federation Head Ben’s words gave him comfort, he still wanted to see for himself.  On the platform, the referee greeted everyone.
“I believe everyone has understood the rules.
I don’t want to waste time by saying it again.
So let’s name the list of the 8 groups,” The referee said.
The next second, the black screen above the platform started to assign the warriors into 8 different groups randomly.
10 seconds later, The names have already been assigned.
The name list for each group appears on the screen. Zack Lockwood’s name appears on the 5th group. Seeing that I began to check other names on the list.
Everyone on the list was a Peak Stage SS-Elite warrior.
What is more amazing is that they appeared to be over 5 or 10 years older than me.
A few minutes later, The duels for the 1st group started.
The 40 Warriors in that group are already ready.
As the time passes, The warriors fought their opponents one by one.
The losers are all eliminated.
Soon, the time for the 2nd group duel was started.
The First duel had no surprise.
They are warriors with 5 common elements.
I’m hoping someone with a special element will appear in this group.
Not long after during the 5th duel of the 2nd group stage.
A warrior used a mutated flame element.
The mutated flame element appears to be in green color.
Seeing that my eyes flickered with interest.
Not only me, others are excited as well.
He seems to be a famous veteran.
The mutated green flames coming from his palm have special characteristics.
