Chapter 81: 81
The audience held their breaths as they stared at the two juniors standing in the arena below. Grant Fenix stood there with a grim expression, while Dylan put a sinister smile on his face.
Based on what happened the last time Dylan fought the members of the Fenix Clan, the crowd was sure Grant would give up. Even though he was a Fenix Clan junior with the highest marks in terms of the Qi test, he was still far below Dylan in terms of strength.
The referee started, and Dylan looked towards Grant as if he was a piece of meat on top of a cutting beam.
Grant gritted his teeth as he thought about what to do. He did not want to give up, but he knew fighting Dylan was a surefire way to be beaten to death. After a few seconds of deliberation, Grant finally made a decision and began to speak.
“I ... I assume-”
Booms!
In the same way as the previous fight, Dylan used an extremely fast and powerful Qi art to attack Grant. Grant's pitiful figure was seen flying tens of meters back before he finally landed. Several wounds on his arm were opened due to the force of the explosion.
Even though he had received quite a bit of damage from the attack, Grant managed to notice it at the last moment and hurriedly raised his own sword to defend. However, his hasty defense resulted in him receiving little damage from the attack.
“I -!
Once again, Dylan used the technique to attack Grant before he could finish his sentence. Grant quickly used a movement technique to dodge the attack, but was disappointed to see another Qi attack fly straight towards where he was moving.
He once again hastily raised his defense, but was sent flying miserably throughout the arena. This time, he landed hard on the ground and fell down several times before stopping.
John narrowed his eyes as an expression of anger appeared on his face. He and everyone knew that Grant would give up, but Dylan never gave him the time to actually do it.
‘If Grant decides himself right from the start and gives a good defense, he won't be in this situation right now. But his wish is shattered even before the fight begins, and Dylan makes use of it. ‘
John is once again reminded of why strong will and temperament matter. Although Grant was weaker than Dylan, he was no weaker until he was defeated in two moves. However, his wish had been crushed by Dylan before the fight started, and he had not thought of fighting back. His defense was not raised since he was about to concede, and this lack of preparation allowed Dylan to attack and stay on the attack without a counter-attack from Grant.
Dylan used a movement technique to immediately appear beside Grant, and his foot stomped on Grant's head. A big, evil smile appeared on Dylan's face as he began to trample Grant's face.
Although it wasn't enough to kill Grant, it was still a sad sight to behold. Grant's face became increasingly mutilated as Dylan continued to stomp on him.
“It's enough, the fight is over.” The referee couldn't bear to see more of this, and ended the fight himself.
While talking to the referee, Dylan kept stepping on Grant's face.
“ENOUGH!”
An angry shout echoed as an extremely powerful aura immediately suppressed Dylan, instantly pressing him to the ground under the weight of such a heavy aura. Dylan struggled to fight him, but was unable to move in the slightest. The crowd all sensed this terrifying aura and opened their eyes wide in shock, but as the aura was almost completely focused on Dylan, the crowd was mostly fine.
A second Dylan fought hard before he instantly felt his pressure vanish.
“Cade Fenix, what does this mean? You dare to attack junior?” Warren Gildar shouted. Back then, Cade Fenix had used his overwhelming strength from a peak Core Formation expert to suppress Dylan with his own aura, and Warren Gildar instantly retaliated with his own aura, that reduces the pressure from Dylan.
As the two auras clashed, an elder of the Fenix Clan quickly ran onto the stage and gathered the barely unconscious Grant.
“Grant acknowledge.”
The elder quickly and angrily muttered as he stared directly at Dylan before he dashed off the platform and led Grant towards the Fenix Clan carriage to provide medical assistance.
“What does this mean? Your son is clearly out of control. Grant attempted to surrender twice but was forcibly stopped by Dylan. Give me one good reason why I am not slaughtering you and everyone from your sect at the moment?” Cade Fenix is furious over Dylan's continued cunning tactics against his clan's juniors.
“Dylan didn't break the tournament rules. And come if you want, I will accept your fight anytime.” Warren Gildar is not afraid of Cade's threats.
Waylon Varis felt his head ache when he thought of handling the two for the rest of the tournament.
“Cade, please sit down. Although Dylan used heavy hand tactics, he did not break the rules of the tournament. And Warren, you better control Dylan in his future fight, or don't blame me for siding with Cade on this.”
Cade and Warren's auras continued to clash for quite some time before the two of them retracted their auras and sat down.
The elder who helped Grant get off the stage returned to the stands, and reported Grant's condition to Cade.
“It's good. There is no permanent damage. At least he will recover with a break of a few weeks.” Cade was relieved that Grant was not seriously injured. He was one of the most promising juniors of the Fenix Clan, and losing him would be a blow to the future strength of the clan.
After finishing the situation, Waylon turned to the crowd once more and spoke to them, “The final battle of this round begins. John ... Ella, please proceed to arena.”
