The Eternal Debauchery's

for princess hands lll

"Start!" The emperor's voice signified the start of the battle.

But strangely, no one took the initiative to make a move.

Instead, more than two hundred youths looked at each other warily, staring at their opponents and trying to find who to attack.

Thirty seconds passed like that, with each second increasing the tension and killing intent within the arena.

Till then

“AAAAHHHHH!!”

One is unable to withstand the tension.

With a shout of courage, a young man raised his sword and swung it down towards the enemy in front of him.

That sword attack marked the start of the battle.

Almost instantly, the place exploded. All the young men who looked at each other brandished their weapons and attacked their opponents.

Fighting intent and killing intent mixed up on the battlefield, creating a powerful pressure that filled the fighters with bloodlust.

In the middle of it, I stood still, calmly looking at the dozens of battles that erupted around me.

All around me, there was chaos. One against one, one against two, and two against two.

The battlefield quickly turned chaotic, with people stabbed from their backs without any prior warning. Within seconds, the arena was filled with the smell of rusty blood.

But not everyone fights.

Through the arena, you can see some open places where others do not dare to approach.

One of them is around me. Although I did not emit any powerful aura, the smile on my face and my relaxed posture intimidated those around me, making them think twice before attacking me.

A similar thing happened around Louis, but it was due to the sharp sword intent that came out of his body. That sharp sword intent created a domain around him that no fighter nearby dared to attack.

Other than the two of us, there were four or five such open fields around the arena. With a glance, I can see that they belong to the true powerhouses of the younger generation, the weakest of which are eighth-tier practitioners.

However, no matter how strong we are, the others are not idiots.

They quickly realized that if things continued like this, they would only tire themselves out and would have no chance of defeating the strongest fighter during the second part of the tournament.

If they want to have a chance to win the tournament, they have to beat us now.

Thus, the other contestants looked at each other before nodding as if reaching an agreement.

Then, they joined hands and rushed towards one of the open places!

The first one they attacked was the 'strongest', Louis. In one second, seven or eight practitioners rushed towards him.

Louis frowned. He unsheathed his sword calmly and looked at the enemy charging towards him before releasing a sword slash.

The sword slash was so powerful that it pushed back the three enemies immediately.

However, the other four managed to utilize it to rush towards Louis and attack him simultaneously.

The frown on Louis' forehead deepened. Although he was not afraid of the enemy, he also did not dare to take them lightly.

The reason for that was that the group that attacked him was made of fifth-tier, sixth-tier, and seventh-tier practitioners.

Even if they were much weaker than Louise, their combined strength was more than enough to make her cautious. If he's not careful, he could get hurt.

However, soon, I stopped caring about his battle.

His reason? A different group attacked me.

And surprisingly, they were even more than the ones attacking Louis!

I smiled gently and took a step forward. My right hand was in the shape of a punch and was closing in on one of the weapons.

At the same time, my second hand moved in a circle, gathering mana and twisting the space around me, stopping the rest of the weapons with seemingly gentle movements.

Of course, no one who fought me or watched the battle could see how I twisted the space. To them, it was as if my hand had predicted the movement of the weapon and used soft power to stop the combined attack.

Many people observing the battlefield could not help but be amazed.

But while my left hand stopped the combined attack, the punch I unleashed with my right hand clashed with the sword.

Immediately

*Duarr!!!*

A powerful explosion resounded in the arena, and the weapon that collided with my punch was destroyed!

At the same time, the young man holding the weapon was thrown, spewing out some mouthfuls of blood before falling to the ground, unconscious.

The scene shocked the other 9 young men who attacked me. For a moment, their movements became a little stiff.

Utilizing the opportunity, my second hand gathered mana in the air, creating an energy vortex that quickly grew larger, turning into a human-sized energy spiral.

The youths soon realized that I was preparing a powerful attack. Moreover, judging from where I had gathered, they knew it was dangerous to accept it directly.

Panicking, they hurriedly put as much mana into their weapons as possible and swung it towards me.

However, it's too late.

Seeing the guns coming towards me, I smiled.

Then, my left hand formed a hand blade. The next second, I swung my hand, releasing a half-moon shaped energy slash that clashed with the attacks of the youths!

Then-then

*DUAARR!!!*

A powerful explosion occurred. Raising a cloud of dust and shaking the entire arena as the people watching the spectacle opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

When the cloud of dust finally disappeared, the other nine young men were lying on the ground with bodies full of wounds and unconsciousness.

I smiled and cleaned my hands, once again returning to my previous relaxed posture and watching the remaining battle lazily.

At this point, most of the other battles were already finished.

Louis held the sword in his hand, staring coldly at the seven corpses under his feet, completely unconcerned by the fact that he killed them.

He's not the only one. Of the five people attacked by several enemies, only one of them, the weakest, was defeated.

As for the rest, they managed to repel their enemies with just a few injuries.

Even though it's normal. After all, although the difference in mana layers was insurmountable, very few people had enough talent to cover up the flaws of mana and strength required.

So, in general, a higher mana layer meant a higher combat power, sometimes even several times higher than the layer below.

At that moment, I felt like a pair of eyes were on me.

Curious, I looked towards the pair of eyes, and found Louis looking at me coldly.

And judging from the way he held his sword tightly, he was probably considering whether he should attack me now or not.

I nodded at him and gave him a mischievous smile, making him frown and throw his face away.

Almost at the same time, the voice of the emperor was once again heard.

“There are only sixteen contestants left. First round ends now!”
