hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I didn’t give him any chance to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I again released the lightning sword attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple beam once again hits his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he took the direct brunt of the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he didn’t use his element to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning power started causing more damage to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface of his skin starts smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning element not only damages the flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also went deep inside to attack the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of it, Hughes started feeling immense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect the early Stage lightning element to be this powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had let down his guard for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he is suffering from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he realized his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Zack Lockwood preparing for another move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of apprehension flashes in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to win this duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he doesn’t want to pay the cost for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continues to fight, then he will suffer more injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His foundation may get destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I give up,” He admitted defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I stopped using the lightning technique and I retreated backwards towards my place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the barrier starts to come down slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other hand, Hughes managed to get up despite the injuries and bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face showed complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, everyone underestimated Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he can tell that the lightning element’s power can offset his Peak Stage Variant Element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the barrier came down completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer walked in to announce the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood is the 2nd winner,” He said in a loud tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that the spectators started to chant my name loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started walking back to the Challenger’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medical team took him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I returned to the Challenger’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of the people are different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, some had complex emotions and few others had fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, everyone is avoiding my gaze except the Ice element warrior and the female warrior who got a free pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was his name again?” I asked myself in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I recalled both of their names appearing on the big screen a few minutes ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clinton” “Wanda,” I muttered to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know much about Wanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have a strong feeling that I’m going to face Clinton in the finals tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perceiving my gaze, they are also showing fierce gaze in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a glance at them, I turned towards the dual platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s already midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s duel has come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the announcer said to everyone that tomorrow’s fuel is going to start a bit late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duel time is 12 pm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I felt that it was a good decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can sleep better after returning to my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer then thanked everyone and asked people to leave quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I started walking out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, I was outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I found no sign of Elder Robbie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the fat arena manager was still here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I asked him, He told me about Elder Robbie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has work,” I grunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I thanked Manager before leaving by myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t take too much time to reach the Federation HQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have done it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later, I returned to the towering building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I used the lift to get back to my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering inside my room, I took a bath before going directly to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day, I woke up a bit late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s 7 AM in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the duel is going to happen at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got enough time to get ready and cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the bed, I started doing my morning routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>25 minutes later, I entered the essence chamber to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HQ, top floor: Time went by, When it was 10 AM in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robbie came to the top floor to meet the Federation Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Federation Head Ben is already there sitting behind the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing the presence of Robbie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allowed him to enter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robbie walked in and stood in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Head nodded at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess you visited Redwood City yesterday?” “Did you find anything?” Federation Had asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robbie thought for a moment before saying,”There is no sign of the Blood Shadow Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have learnt different news.” Then he started to tell what the City Lord Marie told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, A look of confusion appeared on Federation Head Ben’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Eclipse Institute and the Giant Tower Academy uh?” He said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew about his institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those institutions are learning and training institutes for the young warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its system is different from the Federation and other big organizations in the inner post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as far as he knows, the institutes are more involved in teaching than the conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at Robbie and said,”Maybe they are here for The top list ranking duels.” Hearing Robbie nodded his head and said,”I took that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem is that they are behaving strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hid their identity to enter the city.” “And what’s more surprising is that the people from these two groups are working together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they are here for the competition, then why all this secrecy and joint cooperation,” Robbie said in a doubtful tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems they are there for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we don’t have any bad blood with them,” Ben replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he said,”Let’s see what they are up to?” “At the same time, don’t let down your guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Shadow Killers may find any time to enter Redwood City,” Ben added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robbie nodded his head at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he asked,”Head, what about Zack’s hunting team?” Federation Head Ben smiled and replied,”Looks like he is going to win the internal competition easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we can start selecting the suitable warriors for the new hunting team.” “Once the competition is over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can send the new team to complete some missions,” Ben added further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour left before the duel, I walked out of my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time I didn’t wait for Elder Robbie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know where he is right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I decided to walk by myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering inside the lift, I pressed the button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lift started to go downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it reached the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are not many people inside the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff behind the administration desk spotted me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knows the dual timing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at them, I walked towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, The drivers are waiting for the customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I ignored them and decided to walk by myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes, I reached the arena building by myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see that crowds are entering by a different gate into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked into the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess there are many warriors who will come to the Challenger’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw there were only 2 people standing inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is the female Warrior named Wanda and the other one is the ice elemental warrior Clinton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my footsteps, they nodded at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, I simply nodded at them before turning towards the duel arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know who I am going to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the duel, one of us will get the free pass to enter the finals directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have already entered group finals by using a free pass earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think that same thing will happen twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, The people started to fill in the seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the time passed, more and more people walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was time for the duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd has filled the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the duel platform, The announcer walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once again greeted the people before saying,”We have 3 warriors right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only 2 of them will fight in the finals.” “One of them will be selected randomly to enter the finals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the remaining two of them will fight against each other to determine the 2nd finalist,” He said with a loud tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reminded them of the rules before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the start of the duel, he has decided to announce it once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now, let’s see who will get the free pass,” After saying that he turned towards the big screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that everyone turned towards the big screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the name and picture of Clinton appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that crowd erupts with a cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinton has also gathered quite a number of supporters for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I am happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer then said,”Clinton will enter the finals directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next duel will be between Zack Lockwood and Wanda.” “Their duel is going to start in 5 minutes,” He added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the challenger’s room, I revealed a smile on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I guessed, the ice elemental warrior is one of the finalists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I looked towards Wanda before walking towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Wanda also followed from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then both of us started approaching the duel platform together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’
