"Playing with fire against me? Hahaha, that's hilarious," he laughed while shaking off his head in disappointment. "Take your fire back, please," Arthur simply waved his hand and the next instant the fire moved towards the youth and burnt his dried up flesh.
The youth simply fell on the ground dead with long screams of agony. His team member controlled water trying to interfere, pushing the water over his body yet the fire never died down.
Instead the water seemed too weak in comparison, acting as tonic instead of a poison to fire, making it rage wilder and finally killing the youth.
"This is a clear violation to the rules," one of the team suddenly shouted in anger while pointing at Arthur, "he did that on purpose."
The lead master didn't speak while turning his gaze towards Arthur who just sneered. "Losers," he simply said this simple word and instantly the entire team was lit on fire and was about to come to attack him.
"Stop right there," the lead master couldn't stand still anymore, "we will ask the guidance of our venerable masters on this," he turned his gaze towards the dean who nodded and simply waited.
But then his face changed again before returning to its calmness. "not guilty, the other team member attacked him first," the dean said.
"He only demonstrated his ability and that bastard just acted beyond his limits! He should be expelled and never allowed to continue in the contest."
"Who on earth do you think yourself to question the venerable masters' decision?" The voice, tone, and words of the dean showed his anger, yet his calm gaze and body gave Arthur the impression of the opposite.
He was sad about letting such a golden chance slip by without expelling Arthur. "So you don't have the full support of masters here after all," Arthur inwardly sneered as this showed that at least three of the five masters were neutral. "But who are they?" that was the puzzling question.
The other team members looked resentful as such result, but the threatening words in the dean declaration just now made them all silent.
"Continue," the lead master simply said and the next three members just showed some fighting skills that were nothing for Arthur.
"Your turn," the lead master said.
"I'll first go," Tarry said as he stepped forward. "My ability is to absorb the hit of any monster and turn it defenseless," he said before turning his gaze towards Arthur who simply summoned one of his advanced monsters.
A gigantic monster with the head of a snake and body of a leopard appeared all of sudden in the arena, causing quite a stir there. It was a haloed monster, and the moment it came Arthur simply pointed to Tarry as he ordered, "Attack him with your fullest power."
The monster roared and the next instant it moved. Its speed was too much to follow by naked eyes, and when it appeared later it was hitting Tarry strongly with his long and curved horn on top of his head.
The horn shone brightly with dark brown color while the crown around the horn shone as well. Yet, Tarry stood there, only pointing with one hand, holding the horn simply with it, stopping this mighty charge and merciless attack of the monster.
"That monster is faking it," one of the other team members suddenly shouted, "I can defend this with my defensive ability and k…"
He didn't continue speaking as the monster suddenly moved to hit him directly in the chest. The moment he spoke, Arthur gave the order for his system to interfere, silently ordering the monster to attack this bragging useless youth.
The youth was fazed for a moment there when the monster suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he activated his ability.
But this didn't help him at all. He was carried in the air by the long horn of the monster that penetrated his chest and then threw it away like a sack of garbage.
He lay on the ground dead, while other members just sucked the cold breath of air.
"Don't eat what you can't chew kiddo," Arthur spoke lightly like he didn't do anything big just now.
The three remaining team members glanced at him with burning gazes yet they didn't speak. they silently glanced at the lead master, who glanced at the dean, who glanced shortly up above then he returned with a disappointed shaking of his head.
"Continue," the lead master said as he turned finally to Arthur. "What's your ability," he said while sighing.
Arthur was thinking to use his two abilities here, but he had already shown some of his cards to his enemies. "I can use fast step ability," he said while asking Gege to slightly support him.
Just as he pushed himself to the front using the long unused steps he found himself moving at a speed that was so much exceeding his expectations.
He moved like lightning, appearing everywhere and suddenly his after images started to show more figures of him around.
He kept moving for a minute like this before finally stopping. The after images slowly vanished and those with weak observational skills couldn't tell where his real body was or even if he stopped using the ability for a few seconds there.
"Wait for the results," the expression over the lead master told Arthur everything. "I need to hone my step moves further," he said to himself, inwardly sighing that he neglected such a useful ability for so far amidst all his upgrades.
"We won," Tarry was so excited before turning towards Arthur as he laughed, "and it's my win."
"Hahaha, you deserve it," Arthur wasn't surprised by the call of the masters up above. After all compared with the speed moves of Arthur, Tarry's ability was considered a war change ability.
"It's now obvious who is the final winner," suddenly the dean spoke while adding, "if the other team wants to retreat, then it's fine."
Arthur raised one eyebrow when he heard this. "Since when you were a generous sly fox?" he inwardly sneered while watching the other team shaking their heads as they asked silently to continue.
"Next is a personal fight," the other sly master spoke, "send one person at a time. For Willy's team, they can rotate their members in fights until all the other team members are tested."
Arthur glanced at Tarry as he loudly said, "go and tell the boys to have some rest. And see what we will have for dinner."
Tarry glanced at him in a strange way before nodding and retreating.
"Tsk, you are really an arrogant fool," the youth who moved to face him sneered before adding, "there is another stage of the competition idiot called team fight."
Arthur laughed while pointing to his monster to come to his side. "If you are all dead, who will we fight then? Your corpses? Hahaha," Arthur laughed while patting on the calf muscles of the gigantic monster as if he said something normal just now.
"Idiot, you'll have to pass me first," the youth was totally enraged and the next instant he took out a big bell that reminded Arthur of the one Mr. E once used.
Just as Arthur stood there waiting for him to attack, the golden dragon suddenly warned: 'Watch out, this is a cursed bell from the higher planes. It uses sound waves as a soul based attack and it also leaves a nasty curse over the body of the target. You'll need to hurry and find a way to protect yourself from it.'
'A curse…' Arthur thought before asking, 'What curse?'
