He was wearing a white shirt with golden patterns. His hair was properly slid back and he looked very neat and tidy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first-year students looked at him and the two stages with complicated expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their gaze, Liam took out a chair from his storage ring and sat down with a paper and a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kids, The Arena stages are ready and I am your referee. Now you can challenge the top ten students!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was excitement in his voice as he called the top ten students names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"1_Kyle\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2_Alec\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3_Lara\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4_Carcel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5_Mia\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>6_Jake\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7_Luna\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>8_Lily\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>9_Jessica\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10_Nike, step forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top students looked at each other and stepped out from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam pointed at them with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Students, these ten individuals are your target for the next two months! So who wants to challenge them today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His loud voice resounded inside everyone's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though you can fight each of them only once I believe in you all! These two stages will stay in this place for 2 months! So step forward and show your resolve! Crush the top students and snatch their spots!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped his speech and looked at the top students who were staring at him with strange expressions. Even the other first-year students looked at him with unknown expressions. Some of them were even sweating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Is there anyone who would like to challenge the top students today? We have to start your training sessions afterward so hurry up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you can challenge them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but isn't it better to do it today? What if they become stronger tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked again but not a single student stepped forward. They didn't even budge from their places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec looked at the Professor who seemed to be too excited, unlike the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head backward and looked at his classmates. Even after a few minutes, no one stepped forward. Everyone seemed to be thinking very deeply, contemplating if they should challenge the top ten students or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec sighed and moved closer to Kyle who was standing a little further away from him. He tapped his shoulder, making the latter look back at him with a hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I don't think anyone wants to fight with us now. How about a friendly 1vs1 between you and me? I have been wanting to fight you for a while but because we were too busy with classes and training I didn't ask you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle raised his brow. He thought for a while. Alec was stronger than him and he knew he couldn't defeat him. Not now, when his rank was still stuck at (D)-Rank because of some unknown reasons but a friendly match wouldn't do him any harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded. A satisfied smile appeared on Alec's face as he raised his hand and looked at the Professor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor, can the top ten students spar with each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His question instantly gathered the attention of everyone. Even Carcel and Nine looked at him with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Liam raised his brow when he heard Alec. He thought for a while and nodded with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, the top students can fight with each other but their ranking won't change even if they lose to each other because they already possess a spot in the tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their match can be the opening battle. I hope after seeing their friendly fight all the other students would get some motivation and would be ready to step forward for a challenge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke loudly and clapped his hands before looking at Alec.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two who want to fight step on one of the stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec looked at Kyle and both of them instantly climbed the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bia go stay with Mia for a while. I want to test my strength.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bia grumbled a little. She wanted to fight together but did what he asked and started flying toward Mia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-'Next time we will fight together.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Alright.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia was surprised when Bia suddenly landed on her shoulder but she started caressing her small head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam side glanced at Bia and waved his hand. A transparent shield appeared around the stage where Kyle and Alec were standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dragged his chair and sat in front of the other students while pointing at Alec and Kyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look closely. You can learn from them. Also, try to find their weakness. When it's your turn to challenge them use those weaknesses against them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with a serious expression, making Kyle and Alec almost trip on the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students nodded and looked at the duo with serious expressions, ready to find their every weakness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Start fighting when you are ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle looked at Alec. Within a few seconds, both of them stood opposite each other and took out their swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as Kyle and Alec face off, their eyes locked in a fierce gaze. The previous jokes and harmonious atmosphere was nowhere to be found, both of them knew their opponent wanted a serious fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle was the first who channel his mana summoning two thunder arrows and hurdling them toward Alec with lightning-fast speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also activated the skill 'Swift step' and dashed forward with high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students around them gasped because Kyle's speed was very fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one to back down, Alec instantly dodged the arrows and after seeing Kyle coming at him at full speed, he tapped his foot lightly on the stage with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Earth quakes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle stopped as the ground beneath him rumbled ominously and he stumbled a little as he raised his head, only to see Alec's incoming sword.\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-10T05:28:46.713Z",1,"novelbin.me","29d7b6a70091dc716a123e9407f0babec955f716eac2b5a765c4bdacc67fe4a3","celestial-bloodline-chapter-172","celestial-bloodline-chapter-170",967,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcelestial-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
