"I wonder what surprising geniuses I will et next," Arthur smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking the figure condensed into a disciple with narrow cold eyes.
But unlike the previous two tha wore the garnt of an outer disciple of the Red Sky Sect, this one was different.
'A ninja?'
'Or an assassin perhaps?' Arthur wondered looking as the male figure in black tight clothing whose eyes were the only part of his body not covered by clothing.
'Hmm, strangely...I can sense any thoughts.'
'Is my empath ability ineffective or is he special.'
"You must be a genius of this era right?" The opponent spoke up first.
Arthur raised his eyebrow at that, "Why is everyone concerned about geniuses of this era?"
"The previous two asked the sa thing."
The opponent looked a bit surprised, "You don't know?"
Arthur only shook his head in response.
"I see. It appears that certain information must have been lost. Whatevers, it and s not my place to enlighten you," the ninja said.
Imdiately he finished speaking, he summoned his martial Spirit but what was strange was that although Arthur sensed it, he couldn't see any thing.
'Is his martial spirit invisible? Then...that ans...'
Suddenly, the man disappeared and Arthur could not sense his aura or even pinpoint his position with his soul power.
Arthur then concluded that his opponent is one with a unique Martial Spirit—one that bestowed total invisibility, rendering him undetectable by the senses.
At a corner of the arena the Guardian Spirit of he Red Sky Sect glance at Arthur secretly and thought, "Since you said you are the best, it is only right I help you face the best of our geniuses."
This was the guardian's move to pit Arthur against the strongest geniuses of the ancient era beca apparent.
"Since I can't sense you, I can only fish you out."
'Since he isn't wearing the robes of an outer disciple then he must be a special disciples.'
Arthur had once read in the books of the Royal Library that the ancient sects had another allocation of disciples called Special or Unique Disciples.
These were all geniuses with rare and unique Martial Spirits.
Arthur began to randomly attack different areas of the stage.
*Bang!*
*Boom!*
*Crack!*
Unable to sense his opponent, Arthur secretly relied on his extraordinary spirit power to set up an array around him with every stroke of his sword.
The stage beca a canvas for his unseen art, each strike a purposeful stroke in an intricate masterpiece.
Although his opponent couldn't sense this as his opponent's voice taunted him, mocking his seemingly erratic attacks.
"You think you can defeat what you can't see?" the invisible opponent jeered.
Arthur, a calculating strategist, responded by layering the stage with subtle arrays, his spirit power dancing with precision.
"I guess the prophecy was exaggerating about the future. It appears you are rely thus..."
"If that is the case, I can send you on your way..."
Arthur suddenly senses danger and imdiately moved away with a subtle movent technique.
*Swish!*
A sword light passes where Arthur's chest previously was.
"Huh? It seems you are not that useless..." The voice spoke and disappeared again as it attacked a second ti.
But Arthur dodged all of them as he continued his seemingly random strikes.
Random strikes that concealed a deeper purpose, and as the opponent moved in for a powerful attack, the entire stage suddenly shined brightly.
"What?" The voice exclaid as the outline of his figure was revealed and then before he could recover...
*Boom!*
The entire stage exploded is raging flas.
"Arrgh! An array....how did you-?.."
Smoke billowed, revealing the injured opponent who, shocked and coughing up blood, had been forced out of his invisibility state.
"Your invisibility is useless against my arrays," Arthur declared calmly, the residue of his strategic strikes dissipating around them.
Away from them were the disciples who had lost their battles, witnessing the unexpected turn of events, erupted in whispers and gasps.
At this ti, the opponent began to disappear.
"It was indeed spoken of that these tis are the greatest of any era and the geniuses of old will never match the talents of your ti."
"It appears...the prophecy...is..."
The young man disappeared after that, but his words made Arthur thoughtful.
'A prophecy? Is it related to the sa prophecy about the fusion of all continents again?'
Having successfully navigated the challenges of the first three stages, Arthur beca the first to advance to the fourth.
anwhile, others continued their battles, not having the ti to pay attention to that of their opponents.
"Wow, I didn't know that Prince Arthur was this powerful!"
"I knew he was strong but he even cleared the third round faster than the strongest elite disciple of the Royal Academy!"
"You are surprised? Well, I expected it since the day he cleared the Battle Tower."
"But you should know that Karuq's record was more than a year ago, so who can tell that he also may not have been ae to clear the tower?"
"You make a point."
The disciples who had been ousted out of the competition and turned into re spectators of the event decided to turn comntators also.
But the more they watched, the more stunned they beca as they notice sothing strange.
"Why are all the Red Sky Faction mbers so fierce?" One of them asked.
Soone who was not farmiliar with the mbers of the Red Sky Faction asked, "What do you an, how fierce can they be?"
"You haven't noticed?"
"Noticed what? The Red Sky Faction? They are literally the weakest of all factions. Who pays attention to them?"
"Look, that guy's na is Jerry!"
"Okay?"
"Jerry's cultivation is now three stages greater than mine!"
"So you're saying?"
"Before this secret realm opening Jerry was one stage lower than mine. We have exchanged blows previously and he was my defeated opponent but now..."
"What?!" The disciple suddenly looked towards the stage.
"Since when did the Red Sky Faction have soone that strong?"
"I don't know what dog shit luck he encountered but could it be that the entire group stumbled upon so cultivation treasure?"
"Hmm, that is the only explanation. But a treasure that can be so powerful that it could raise the cultivation stages of all the mbers of the faction a few levels must be one that is guarded by a very powerful beast."
"Then that ans..."
They both looked at each other's eyes...
"There is soone very capable amongst them..."
"Prince Arthur!" They spoke in unplanned unison.
...or was it planned?...
