From MC's perspective:
After going through several posts. I realized that the opponent is not an easy target. But I have confidence in my lightning element. It will be enough to deter her.
Then I exited the training room and started walking back to my dorm room.
A few minutes later,
When I returned to the dorm building. The neighbors immediately recognized my face. Though we didn't have contact before.
After simply nodding at them, I entered my room.
When the door was closed. Others started to gossip. Tomorrow is a duel day. So they are discussing it. Unauthorized betting will happen.
These friendly neighbors are already weighing the pros and cons.
In the room,
Seeing the dust all over the room. I thought work was cut out for me. Because of the breakthrough, I didn't feel tired at all.
So I started cleaning the room.
An hour later,
After cleaning the room, I lay down on my bed.
...
In the female dorm room,
Eurice Frye is looking at the antidote and the poison pills. She is going to make a huge bet tomorrow.
If it succeeds, then she will get the rest of the resources. Then there will be no problem with becoming the next RainWater Faction Head in the future.
She is confident in her ability. Since she had made up her mind to accept the task. She was no longer concerned with the actual duel tomorrow.
She is focusing on how to implement the task. It is not easy to take out a random pill in the middle of a duel.
For that, she has to carefully come up with a plan. So that no one can know. She feels fortunate that the duel is going to take place in the duel arena.
Where the faction head and other elders will be seated in the spectator area. It would be impossible for them to spread consciousness and notice the changes.
After gaining some clarity, her eyes flickered.
...
The following day,
I woke up earlier because of the duel day. After completing the morning routine. I entered the training room to cultivate body strength.
There are a few monster cores left in my storage ring. Past few days, I didn't have the opportunity to practice the blood element method.
So after taking out the monster core. I held it in my palm. And started to run the blood element method in my mind.
The blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Right after, I started to absorb the monster's core energy.
When the monster's core energies entered my body. I started to guide the energy according to the blood element method.
After circulation, the red light power appears in the bloodstream. It started to absorb these energies and convert them into mysterious white energies.
After the appearance of the white energies. They immediately started drilling into my bones. Right after, I felt the heart-wrenching pain.
Enduring it, I continued the process.
Slowly, the tip of my right-hand bone fingers is turning red.
A few hours later,
I opened my eyes when the monster's core was crumbled into pieces. Then I closed my eyes and started to inspect the inside of the changes.
Then I saw the right-hand bone fingers are red. Seeing that I realized. The lower body transformation is over.
Now it's starting to happen for the upper body. I don't know what's waiting for me in the end. After pushing down these thoughts, I opened my eyes and stood up.
Seeing the sweat and small traces of impurities all over my skin. I exited the training room and went to take a shower.
Several minutes later,
I changed into a fresh set of clothes. After getting ready, I walked out of the building. And started heading toward the dining hall.
On the way, I heard surprised gasps from others. I wasn't surprised. Nobody knows that I was out of the academy for the past few days.
When I reached the dining hall. I saw Ernest and Laverne standing in the same place. A complicated emotion flashes in my eyes.
These 2 of my seniors are caring.
When I started to walk up to them. They saw me coming.
"We knew it," Laverne muttered.
Hearing that I asked, "What?"
Ernest took the opportunity to intercede. He said, "We tried to contact you several times before. But after seeing you are busy, we gave up eventually. But we knew you would appear today."
Hearing that I chuckled. If I tell them about my adventurous short trip, they will be shocked to the core.
Then shaking my head, I said, "Let's go inside. I'm hungry."
Ernest and Laverne laughed.
Our appearance attracted the attention of others. Especially me! I feel a lot of gazes on me. Like they can't wait to see through my strength.
But the dragon pendant hanging around my neck is covering my breath. These people won't be able to see me.
Then after receiving our food plate from the counter. We found an empty place to sit down and eat.
When I sliced the piece of monster meat. I found Ernest and Laverne looking at me fiercely.
"What?" I asked.
"How confident are you for today's duel?" Laverne asked.
I revealed a small smile on my face before asking, "Why?"
"We are going to place a bet on you," Ernest answered.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
I almost forgot about this small business.
"Then place a bet on my behalf as well," I answered.
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other. My answer is enough to convince them. Both of them saw my body's strength during the bedrock city incident.
So they are quickly convinced.
"Alright, I hope you don't disappoint us," Ernest said before starting to eat.
Soon we finished our food. After walking out of the dining hall, we started walking toward the arena. The duel is going to happen in 2 hours.
But we decided to enter the arena and wait there. At the same time, I'm thinking about Jonathan. Hope he comes to watch the duel.
...
Carlos Kent is currently getting ready in his house in Viper City. But the constant call from the Giant Tower Headmaster is disturbing his peace.
He didn't tell him about the recent change of plans. He doesn't know why? But the plan kept changing. If he tells the truth, the Giant Tower Headmaster might jinx it.
So he was avoiding the call all this time.
But Carlos doesn't know that someone is already in his room, observing him in secret. The person is none other than Jonathan.
After separating from Zack, he quickly found the trails of Carlos Kent. Jonathan coincidently spotted Carlos in Viper City.
But after that, he followed Carlos to his house. After a full night's observation, Jonathan found suspicious activity.
Because he saw Carlos searching for poison. It might have been random. But Jonathan felt bad about it. He also saw the SSS-Elite Stage Power level.
But apart from that he didn't find any other evidence directly connecting to Zack. There was not even a call or meet-up with the person.
Jonathan thought one-night observation won't give any results. Just as he decided to give up. Something new happens.
Beep~
Carlos, who was combing his hair, notices the call. Seeing that the person was the Giant Tower Headmaster. He gave a cold snort in his heart.
But right after he saw there was an unread message.
In curiosity, he opened the message to read it.
"He dares," The next second, he started scolding.
The message was from the Giant Tower Headmaster himself. In that message, he advised Carlos to attend the call. If not, he will send someone to Viper City in search of him.
Carlos showed killing intent in his eyes.
Jonathan, who was hiding in the shadows, muttered, "Interesting."
Carlos then immediately started contacting the Giant Tower Headmaster. He didn't know this very attempt would spell doom for him.
When the call is connected. Carlos impatiently uttered, "I'll contact you when the work is finished."
But from the other end of the call. The Giant Tower headmaster started threatening him.
ƥandasnovel.com A few minutes later,
Once again, Carlos promised him. Only after that, he ended the call in relief.
"Harumph, he dares to order me around," Carlos said to himself.
This conversation got the attention of Jonathan. Jonathan feels if he observes further, he will find something.
...
Dean Rebecca received the reports from the eyeliners. "Zack was seen in the dining hall," She said with a smile. As she had guessed, Zack had indeed spent time in isolated practice.
For a second, she thought about summoning him. The next second, she shook her head. She saw the duel time was getting near. So she changed her mind.
Anyway, Zack Lcokwood has strong body strength. She doesn't think he will get hurt that badly.
