YM778.TV Chapter 534 - A Tie
"They need to toughen up a bit," he inwardly sighed before adding, \'Gege, try to replenish yourself fast.\'
\'I\'m trying my best,\' she said, \'for the arrays?\'
Arthur went silent for a moment there. He glanced at the other team and he noticed their obvious debate between themselves. \'I might not need that now,\' he said before adding, \'after all I can do arrays normally with my energy.\'
\'Then for the fight?\'
\'Nah, for the ability test,\' he muttered, \'this is the only place I feel I slacked at before coming here.\'
He helplessly shook his head in disappointment that seemed quite strange for the leader of the team who had two winning streaks so far.
"Willy, our venerable masters want to ask about your pill just now," suddenly the dean himself spoke up from high up, "they want to know what it\'s used for."
Arthur cracked a smile before faking honor to be asked such a question from them. "Esteemed venerable masters," he slightly bowed while adding, "this pill will help in cleansing anyone\'s energy and make it much purer and stronger."
"Will it work over those coming from higher planes?" the dean asked.
"A venerable master can take it and see for himself how mighty my pill is," Arthur replied, veiling his arrogance under the sweet words he just used.
The look over the dean\'s face showed how much he wasn\'t glad of what Arthur just did, but he couldn\'t show this clearly except through his cold gazes.
And Arthur just waited there patiently without saying a word or even expressing his discontent. "This is my win, foolish dean," he inwardly sneered.
After long minutes of waiting, the face of the dean slightly changed before it returned to its normal look. "The venerable masters are asking if you are willing to make more of these pills and sell them."
Arthur cracked a smile while ignoring the dean as he turned towards the portals above the towers. "Esteemed venerable masters, I can produce only a handful amount of this pill per day and right now I\'m participating in the contest. I hope you send one of your trusted subordinates and I\'ll arrange future deals with them."
"Granted," the dean said in such discontent while he nodded to those down there to start the next step of the contest.
Arthur stayed behind and this time he didn\'t intend to participate. Winning two so far gave him more room to relax. "I have to retain some of my cards for future contests," he muttered to himself while watching the opponent team making arrays using the higher energy again.
"They never learn," he shook his head but this time he stayed all silent and didn\'t move a single muscle. Everyone was waiting for him to act at the last minutes like usual but they were doomed to be disappointed.
He didn\'t move until the end of the competition.
"A tie?" Deem muttered in discontent, "I used my top knowledge about Rey Lines and no one can compete with me here!"
"Don\'t object," Arthur patted on his shoulder, "a tie is also a good result. After all we have two wins against nothing."
Deem wasn\'t pleased by such a result, but he couldn\'t speak anymore after what Arthur said. He just sighed and dragged his legs away while Arthur just stood his place silently waiting for the next contest to start.
"Are you going to take part in this as well?" the lead master asked while he inwardly knew the answer.
"Sure," Arthur smiled, "I will only move away if I get defeated in a personal fight."
"Are you planning to fight them all alone?" this time the lead master was shocked more so when Arthur just nodded.
"Crazy," he simply muttered before returning to his silence and Arthur totally ignored his remark.
The next competition had only Tarry to step forward. On the other side, five were there.
"Show us your abilities and explain what they are," the lead master said while glancing over the five opponents of Arthur first, nodding to them to start.
The first one to step forward was such a giant youth, even his cloak was shorter than his giant physique, only reaching for his knees.
He stood there before saying: "My ability is to suck energy from the universe and turn it into a mighty wind attack."
The next instant he took a really deep breath. The air sucked like being hit by a storm. Then he breathed out wind again and this time it was so strong and strangely it was aimed directly at Arthur and Tarry.
Arthur didn\'t stand silent when the attack came closer to him as he stepped forward and simply took out his sword. A single wave of his sword augmented by his spiritual energy dissected the gale of wind and turned it into nothing.
"Be sure to aim better next time," Arthur sneered, "this was like a kid\'s hit for me."
"Tsk," the youth only sneered as he returned back.
"Next one," the lead master said while not commenting on such an attack just now. "What\'s your ability? And please demonstrate it properly this time," he said while trying to fake the shape of being fair here.
Yet Arthur knew deep down that he wasn\'t fair at all.
"I can use any ore to provide me with energy," he said before taking a fiery ore and the moment he touched it, it was sucked dry and turned to ash. The next instant the body of this youth was lit in fire, and the fire just went berserk, hitting everywhere even his mates.
They were kind of prepared as one of them just cut his hand and let his blood fly. He manipulated his blood to form a whirlpool that turned the air into mist then water enough to stop the fire attack over the team.
As for Arthur, he simply moved towards the fire and when it touched him, it acted in docile nature.
