Chapter 593 Ernest's Defeat
A few hours ago,
The internal competition for the Super Elite Warrior is reaching its end. The Flame Faction Warriors are leading the ranking.
Most of the spots were occupied by them at this moment. But it can't be helped. The number of Super Elite Warriors in the Flame Faction Warriors is high.
So the other faction wasn't surprised by the ranking. On the other hand, Seamus finally got his wish.
He and Ernest are going to face off against each other.
Ernest was completely surprised by the match-up. But at the same time, he was wary of Seamus.
Like it or not, he can guess that his opponent won't show him any mercy. Ernest's thoughts about quitting.
But thinking about Zack and Special Faction's Reputation. He had decided to try it.
Soon both of them stood opposite each other.
Seamus is carrying an evil smile on his face. When Ernest stood opposite to him. He can't wait for the referee to give the signal.
Ernest has somewhat recovered his essence after the previous duel. But he won't underestimate Seamus.
"Start"
When the referee's voice sounded. Ernest shot several sharp spikes at Seamus.
Swish~
Seamus greeted the attack with a smile. The next moment, he surrounded himself with a wall of flames.
Boom~
When the spikes come in contact with the flame wall. A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.
Smoke quickly covered the duel arena. Ernest's pupil shrank. But he quickly recovered his expression. He wasn't surprised.
Seamus' fire cultivation technique is unusual as he heard before. He just hoped that his essence would be enough for the rest of the duel.
But something unexpected had happened. When the smoke cleared. Seamus turned the burning flame towards Ernest.
The next second, the sea of flames rushed out at a fast speed. Seeing that Ernest formed a wall by using the soil element.
Uproar~
The Flame Faction Warriors in the spectator area erupted in a cheer. Everyone has realized that Seamus is going all out.
Ssshh~
When the flames come into contact with the sand wall. A loud screeching sound can be heard. Which again caused smoke to arise.
On top of that, Ernest started to feel the terrible heat. To prevent the increase in temperature, he continued to pour the essence.
In the blink of an eye, the same wall added another layer. If anyone looks at it from outside they can see that the sand was so thick.
Seamus gave an interesting look. In his opinion, at least Ernest is not boring.
The next second, Seanus released a different attack. He shot several burning flame balls in succession.
Unlike the earlier attack, this will test the strength of the sand wall.
Boom~
The flame attack lands a blow to the thick sand wall. The next second, an explosion occurs.
Ernest retreated backward from the impact. If he remained any longer, the remaining attack would touch him.
The smoke once again coveted the duel arena. But Ernest's expression was ugly. He used a large amount of essence in that sand wall.
Swish~
Before he could think further. A flame fist greeted him. By using the smoke screen, Seamus rushed out to punch.
The distance was so close that Ernest hastily relapsed the sand wall again.
Boom~
But Seamus' flame fist easily blasted away the sand wall. In a blink of an eye, the sand wall crumbled down.
Ernest's expression becomes heavy. He finally realizes it's time to admit defeat. But Seamus saw through his thoughts.
That's why he has engaged in close combat at the last moment. His fist coveted with flames reaches Ernest's chest.
Smash~
The punch heavily hits Ernest's chest. Not only that, flames also touched his body and quickly spread around his clothes.
Pfff~
Blood spilled from my mouth. Ernest rolled over to the ground because of a fierce attack.
A cruel glint flashes in Seamus's eyes. He is not satisfied with the single hit. Before he could trample him.
Ernest cleverly admitted defeat with his remaining strength. Seeing that the referee declared Seamus as a winner.
"You cowardly b@stard," Seamus' expression darkened. He didn't enjoy the full taste of the duel.
Seeing that Ernest stepped out of the ground. He can only give up at this moment.
Uproar~
The crowd let out a roaring cheer. Not many were aware of the conflict between Seamus and Zackc's friends.
In the spectator area, Kane and his friends' expressions turned bad as well. They saw that Zack's Senior Ernest admitted defeat at the last moment.
He was clever enough to escape from a little injury.
"Harumph"
The flame faction head didn't know when he appeared and gave a color snort.
Almost everyone in the flame faction is expecting Seamus to thrash Ernest as long as the other party in the duel platform.
Now they can only swallow because of this unexpected result.
Seamus continues to participate in the next duel. On the other hand, Ernest finally forfeits. He decided to check his condition first.
Though he looks to remain unscathed from the outside. But he feels a burning sensation from inside. Like someone is boiling his inner organs.
The results didn't go unnoticed under the Dean's eyes. She is also monitoring the movements of the flame faction head. And she happened to watch the duel from beginning to end.
As she had expected, the famous faction warriors were flexing their muscles. But it's a pity, that Zack is an Elite Warrior. He can't challenge the Super Elite Warrior.
So the Special Faction can only accept the defeat. What others don't know. Someone else also watched the duel with interest. He is none other than Jonathan.
Looking at the disappearing back of Ernest. "This kid with the soil element has a good temperament," Jonathan muttered to himself.
He was on his way back when he recovered Zack's message. And he reached an hour before Ernest's duel.
Because of this, he was able to monitor the vice dean's actions as well. From Zack's words, he knows that the current Vice-dean is listening to every day of the Supreme Elder.
So he quickly became interested in Franklin Madden.
Franklin Madden shuddered all of a sudden in the Spectator area. When he turns around to check. Apart from the Earth and Gale Faction Head, there was no sign of the dean.
He thought only the dean could suppress the academy.
Meanwhile,
Glass City:
Several powerful auras entered the auction building to purchase the special item. The management was alarmed by the presence of Warriors above the Super Elite.
So they quickly agreed to sell the special item. Even the management themselves were surprised by the presence of several people.
All of them are one team and they purposely come here to buy this item. After negotiating successfully, the auction house sold the items to them.
Like other Major organizations, the auction house knows that the only warrior who can use the item is Zack Lockwood, a student of Saw Scale Viper Academy.
If it weren't for the bad relationship between the Red Moon Tower and Zack's academy. The auction house would have contacted Zack directly.
But if they do it now, they can only face the wrath of the Red Moon Tower. Beside the entire city is their property. So for a safe future, the auction didn't contact Zack.
The appearance of these people solved their problem. Not only that, they have also earned over 100,000 credit points over this lighting treasure item.
If the Giant Tower Headmaster learns about the price, then his heart will bleed.
....
From MC's perspective:
Mountain Peak,
After cultivating for a few hours, I stopped practicing the blood method and stood up from the ground.
I believe in the coming few days. I will touch the barrier. After gaining some clarity, I started to remove the barrier.
The guardians also noticed Zack's change. It had taken him more than 10 hours to fill the dantian.
"Do you want to spend more days?" The male guardian asked.
"No!" I shook my head. Jonathan would come back to the academy right now.
After removing the barrier, the guardians started to guide me back to the academy.
Time flies,
When we reached the academy. It was dark. The guardian dropped me off at the dormitory before leaving.
After arriving at the room, I opened the door to enter. When I turned on the lights. I saw someone else sitting on the sofa.
"Jonathan, you are back," I uttered in surprise.
He didn't send me any message about his return.
Jonathan stopped looking at the communication watch before looking at Zack.
"Young master, how was your trip?"
"I just came back a few hours ago," Jonathan replied.
Hearing that I nodded my head before saying, "I recovered my essence. Now, I have to wait for their reply."
Then Jonathan spoke about Carlos Kent's situation. Carlos Kent has found a temporary place to stay.
"And young master, you should visit your friend next morning," Jonathan added.
"Who?"
"Ernest," I asked back.
"He was hit hard by someone named Seamus. But don't worry. He admitted defeat at the last moment."
"In the end, he managed to escape from the minor injuries," Jonathan replied.
"At last it happened," A heavy expression appeared on my face.
