MC’s Perspective: About 23 minutes later, I arrived at the duel arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see people going toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the challengers, there is a different entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started walking straight toward the office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors who were walking past recognized my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see surprise on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded at them before increasing my pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I reached the office, I spotted the Outer Hall Elders inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering, I asked them about Ronnie Seth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They told me Ronnie Seth was yet to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I decided to enter the arena first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I began walking toward the back door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the door, I opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw a wide view of the duel arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience was seated on all four sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a viewing deck on all four sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the last duel arena match, the crowd and hype seemed to be higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile on my face, I entered the arena and made my way toward the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Zack Lockwood’s picture was shown on the big screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience started cheering loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Variant Faction’s viewing deck: “Faction Leader, that kid is here,” one of the main leaders reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Vince and the other main elders shifted their attention to the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vince’s old eyes were observing Zack Lockwood’s every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that kid entering the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to see through that kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t find anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he once again tried to see Zack Lockwood’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Vince felt a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmmm,” his mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Thunderflame Faction invested heavily in that kid,” he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are artifacts that can hide the strength of warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was surprised by the fact that the Thunderflame Faction had given an artifact to this kid that could prevent his prying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that Clifford had given his own artifact to that kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he figured it out, he sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They wouldn’t have imagined in their wildest dreams that the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit was poisoned,” he said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it would be even difficult for Dean Jerome to find a cure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!” “What’s happening?” “There is a barrier protecting that kid’s strength.” The Main Elders had tried their best as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they immediately understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t waste your energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old dog of the Thunderflame Faction has spent a lot of money,” Vince said in a mocking tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, that’s why!” “The Faction Leader was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kid is going to be dead anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We shouldn’t get tense about small things.” The Main Elders spoke to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental Factions’ viewing deck: Faction Leader Elmer is sitting with other elemental faction leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is non stop questioning him about the recent actions against the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he carefully avoided answering them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then commotion outside drew everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leaders and Main Elders of the Elemental Factions’ gazes fell on a warrior entering the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he is the kid who got the nickname of Rising Star!” “He is Zack Lockwood!” “Not bad!” “He doesn’t look scared!” “To think he was attacked by a Gold Mark Warrior a couple of days ago.” “Let’s see whether the rumors about him are true or not.” The Main Elders spoke one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline Factions’ viewing deck: The Faction Leaders of the Bloodline Factions are two middle-aged women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both have contrasting personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s also the first time for them to appear in public after a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman whose eyes and face were cold was staring at the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was dressed in blue clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her gaze fell on a famous kid, an emotion appeared in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has the bloodline of a Human Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Dylan Ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her name is Francesca Ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has black hair and blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin tone is fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is from the powerful bloodline family, the Ball Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodline and inheritance passed down from the ancestor is the water element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to water among the elements, their bloodline water element was mutated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s dense and hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like boiling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the woman next to her has the powerful bloodline of a Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is wearing red clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her name is Bethany Sutton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes and hair are black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has a fair skin tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her height is similar to Francesca’s at 5.9 ft tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Sutton Family has a powerful monster bloodline of a Celestial Fire Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them are powerful Red Mark Warriors despite their young age compared to other faction leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Main Elders behind them are curious like the other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to confirm with their eyes whether the rumors were true or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bethany casually looks at Francesca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finds her gaze unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seems to be serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Francesca, what happened?” Bethany asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Francesca recovered her thoughts and replied, “Nothing, I just tried to see through him, but that kid has an artifact to block the prying eyes.” “What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man Clifford was really generous,” Bethany said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she didn’t notice was Francesca’s eyes flashing with a strange emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?” “Why do I feel a close connection to a random kid?” she said in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her feelings were never wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she felt an intense connection just a second ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duel platform: I’m standing on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth was yet to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is he taking so long?” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Ronnie Seth came to the arena entrance with a wide grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, he had broken through and become a Commander Rank-Mid Stage Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had broken through the early stage not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But last night’s breakthrough was a coincidence and a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thinks that the intense pressure he faced had helped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile on his face, he enters the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then saw the Outer Hall Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning that Zack Lockwood had come before him, he sprinted toward the back door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the door, then opened it to walk into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Ronnie Seth’s image was shown on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud cheer sounded across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell on the duel platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zack Lockwood standing there, his mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether Zack Lockwood had broken through or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he thought that with his current strength, the chances of failure were not high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then quickly reached the platform and stood opposite Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, my eyes flashed with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander-Mid Stage!” “When did he have two successive breakthroughs?” I asked in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I realized he might have broken through after the virtual duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time I saw him, he was at the SSS-ELITE Rank Peak Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie smiled upon seeing Zack Lockwood’s surprised gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not only surprised Zack but also the Faction Leader and Main Elders in the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid is good!” “Provide him more resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might reach the Purple Mark Rank quickly,” Faction Leader Vince commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the Main Elders were all shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they realized they had underestimated their own talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the other factions, from small and medium-sized to the other Top 10 Factions, were observing Ronnie Seth’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Thunderflame Faction, there was no tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Faction Leader Clifford and the Main Elders were talking leisurely after learning about Zack Lockwood’s General Rank strength yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not worried about today’s result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth’s strength had piqued their curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt bad that such a talented warrior was on the side of the Dark Variant Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the duel platform: Both of our eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see fighting intentions in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, I will try my best to defeat you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will be better than previous duels,” Ronnie said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Outer Hall Elder appeared all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to be the referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is your bet?” the referee asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an old man in his seventies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth took out the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit from his storage ring and gave it to the Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Hall Elder already had a box prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stored the sacred fruit inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he placed the box in his storage ring before looking at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you guys ready?” the referee asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both nodded our heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, there will be no killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one gives up, the other person will be declared the winner,” the referee said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole arena was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could hear the elder’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the scenes were playing live on the big screen as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Ronnie Seth before taking out the black sword and holding it in my right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple lightning arcs appeared around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie Seth cracked a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply going to fight using his physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a dark lightning arcs covered his body as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your gift is the motivation for my creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me more
