Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Detrius Nangle’s Boldness
The spinning paper occasionally revealed the numbers on it.
As the paper drew closer, including the Sect Leader of the Five Elents Sect, also known as the Gold Peak Master ’Grini Clifford’, the five Peak Masters made their move together.
Whoosh!
Grini Clifford raised his hand, and an invisible force ascended, sweeping towards the ten pieces of paper, creating a ferocious montum that stirred up a series of piercing explosion sounds in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Niklaus Woodson, Teawhite, Rayna Yates, and Frank Field also made their move almost simultaneously.
However, their speed was not as fast as Grini Clifford’s.
Whoo! Whoo!
Soon, two of the papers, as if drawn by two invisible forces, instantly turned into two bolts of lightning and swiftly shot towards Grini Clifford, who casually caught them.
The two papers of the Gold Peak were thus taken.
"Number 1, Number 10."
Wyatt Barnes, with keen eyes, had already seen the numbers on the two papers as they were drawn towards Grini Clifford.
He knew these were the numbers Grini Clifford had chosen.
And his choice of these two numbers seed to favor the Gold Peak.
Whoo! Whoo!
The second to get two papers was Niklaus Woodson, who was recognized by most in the Five Elents Sect as the second most powerful entity.
The numbers he got were 5 and 6.
Clearly, these were also deliberately chosen.
As for the other three Peak Masters, they were evenly matched; ultimately, they completely scrambled the remaining six papers and each randomly drew two.
"Take these."
Niklaus Woodson handed the two papers to Wyatt Barnes and Brady Yellow; Wyatt got number 5, and Brady got number 6.
"What use are these?"
Wyatt Barnes and Brady Yellow exchanged glances, both puzzled.
"Battle of the Five Peaks, individual battle, starts from head to tail, conducting staggered combats... like number 1 and number 10, conducting the first battle; number 2 and number 9, conducting the second battle."
Noel Walton explained, "And so on... numbers 5 and 6 will conduct the fifth battle! This is the first round."
Wyatt suddenly understood, "So you an, Brady and I will face each other in this first round... and then, representing Niklaus Woodson, we can discuss who should advance first?"
"Exactly."
Noel Walton nodded.
"No wonder the Sect Leader chose numbers 1 and 10, he had the sa idea."
Wyatt fully comprehended.
Soon, the Battle of the Five Peaks began.
The first battle.
Number 1 against Number 10.
Gold Peak, Number 1 Jaxx Nangle, Number 10 Detrius Nangle.
Number 10 Detrius Nangle advanced.
"Hmm?"
Wyatt Barnes frowned, he hadn’t expected Detrius to advance, "Logically, since Jaxx Nangle knew I could create ’illusions’ with my ntal power, and also knew my level of ntal power, then he should have known Detrius was no match for ... yet why did he still allow Detrius to advance?"
About this, Wyatt was utterly bewildered.
Soon, hearing Noel Walton’s explanation, he had an epiphany.
"In the individual battles of the Battle of the Five Peaks, those who are eliminated earlier... can challenge anyone except the person they had previously surrendered to or been defeated by."
These were Noel Walton’s exact words.
Thus, until the specific rankings of the individual battle are decided.
So, Detrius advancing didn’t an Jaxx Nangle didn’t have a chance to vie for a top ranking; instead, he would beco an ace-like presence, playing a key role at the crucial mont to lead the Gold Peak to victory!
"You two, I also suggest allowing Brady to advance first... Wyatt, you rest up for now. Unless none of the other four peaks’ eight contestants are a match for Brady, allowing Brady to claim ’first place’! Otherwise, you still have a chance to overtake Brady’s ranking."
Noel Walton continued.
"Hmm."
Wyatt Barnes nodded; as for Brady, naturally, there was no problem.
He admitted he was not as good as Wyatt, it wouldn’t hurt letting Wyatt rest while he took the lead.
After all, it would be Wyatt who would vie for the top rankings in the individual battle for Niklaus Woodson later on.
Following Number 10 Detrius Nangle’s advancent, the fight between Number 2 and Number 9 ensued.
Number 2, another female disciple from Water Peak.
Number 9, Fla Peak, Tatum Cruz.
Facing Tatum Cruz, the Water Peak female disciple wisely surrendered, and Number 9 Tatum Cruz advanced.
The Battle of the Five Peaks continued.
Number 3 against Number 8.
Number 3, Earth Peak, David Field.
Number 8, another male disciple from Earth Peak.
David Field surrendered, like Jaxx Nangle, conserving energy, waiting for the overall results to co in before initiating a challenge to aim for a good ranking for Earth Peak.
Number 8, another male disciple from Earth Peak advanced.
Number 4 against Number 7.
Number 4, another male disciple from Fla Peak.
Number 7, Water Peak, Joy Thomsen.
Number 7 Joy Thomsen advanced.
Then it was the turn of Number 5 and Number 6, Wyatt Barnes and Brady Yellow; Wyatt surrendered, and Brady advanced.
The results of the first round erged just like that.
It was a curious coincidence that the first to actively surrender or be defeated in the first round were exactly those numbered 1 to 5.
Numbers 6 to 10, all advanced.
They were:
Brady Yellow, Joy Thomsen, another male disciple of Earth Peak, Tatum Cruz, Detrius Nangle.
The battle continued with the heads and tails matching up.
In the first round, Brady Yellow faced Detrius Nangle; both soared into the sky and stood opposite each other.
"Brady, this Detrius Nangle has already broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm Seventh-Order’. Even if you surrender in this match, no one will laugh at you,"
these were the words Noel Walton had said to him before Brady Yellow entered the arena.
But Brady proceeded without any hesitation.
According to him:
"It’s rare to encounter a ’Cave Void Realm Seventh-Order martial artist’ willing to spar without risking life. He didn’t want to miss it."
"This Brady Yellow, actually daring to battle Senior Brother Detrius, is really courting death!"
"Senior Brother Detrius is a ’Cave Void Realm Seventh-Order master’... this Brady Yellow, I heard he’s just a ’Cave Void Realm Fifth-Order martial artist.’ I really don’t know where he got such courage to challenge Senior Brother Detrius."
"Just one encounter, and Senior Brother Detrius will surely defeat him effortlessly!"
...
The group of Five Elents Sect disciples watching were all discussing fervently, none believing that Brady Yellow could match Detrius Nangle.
"I hear you’re one of the two strongest among your generation in the Five Elents Sect, your cultivation having broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm Seventh-Order’... but I wonder, do you dare to combat
there?"
Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Brady Yellow eyed Detrius seriously while pointing towards the cliff on the side of Gold Peak.
Hearing Brady’s words, Detrius raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is your realm the ’Earth Realm’?"
Clearly, he had guessed Brady’s intention, which was to leverage the power of the Earth Realm in battle.
"Yes. Of course, you can refuse,"
said Brady, "But even if you refuse, I will still battle... even though I know the outco will be a defeat!"
At this, the group of watching Five Elents Sect disciples fell silent.
Clearly, they all wanted to know whether Detrius Nangle would agree to Brady Yellow’s audacious request.
"Why should I refuse?"
Detrius laughed in response to Brady.
"True to Senior Brother Detrius! He knows very well that the opponent has comprehended the ’Earth Realm’, gaining strength from being near the ground... and yet he still accepted the unreasonable challenge!"
"That’s true courage! Not everyone has it."
"Of course! Who do you think Senior Brother Detrius is?"
"Go Senior Brother Detrius! I believe, even if the opponent uses the Earth’s power, he still can’t be your match!"
"Senior Brother Detrius, make Brady Yellow accept defeat thoroughly!"
...
The group of Five Elents Sect disciples shouted excitedly, filled with confidence in Detrius Nangle.
Whoosh!
Brady Yellow leapt out and quickly reached the cliff side of Gold Peak, slowly closing his eyes, as if sensing sothing.
Soon, streams of solid earth-yellow power erged around Brady, then suddenly started swirling violently as if resonating with the ground.
By then, Detrius Nangle appeared opposite Brady, observing the swirling power around his body, and couldn’t help feeling surprised.
"It seems I have underestimated you."
Detrius muttered to himself.
Whoosh!
At so point, the solid earth-yellow power around Brady’s body seed to undergo a complete transformation, releasing bursts of extrely terrifying aura.
Shortly after, above Brady’s head in the void, celestial phenona started to take shape.
Illusions of ancient Horned Dragons appeared out of nowhere, magnificent and countless as if never-ending.
Fifty.
Seventy.
One hundred.
...
Still increasing, the number gradually slowed down, and finally, it stabilized.
One hundred and eighty-five illusions of ancient Horned Dragons hovered above the void over Brady’s head, one hundred and eighty-five sharp eyes looking down at Detrius Nangle, as if ready to pounce at any mont.
"How is this possible?!"
"This Brady Yellow, he’s actually so strong?"
...
The sight of the one hundred and eighty-five ancient Horned Dragon illusions greatly shocked the group of watching Five Elents Sect disciples.
Even Joy Thomsen from Water Peak and David Field from Earth Peak now looked apprehensive.
"Cave Void Realm Sixth-Order, mid-level Earth Realm, along with the Earth’s power you borrowed... you are now worthy of battling ."
Detrius Nangle slowly spoke out, revealing Brady Yellow’s level of power.
Cave Void Realm Sixth-Order, with all Origin Force unleashed, comparable to the strength of eighty ancient Horned Dragons.
Mid-level Earth Realm, akin to the strength of seventy ancient Horned Dragons.
The strength borrowed from the Earth through this level of Earth Realm is the power of thirty-five ancient Horned Dragons, also half the power contained by the Earth Realm.
Together, that is the strength of one hundred and eighty-five ancient Horned Dragons!
"I look forward to our battle,"
Brady Yellow took a deep breath, his gaze intensely fixed on Detrius, "Not to ntion anything else, just your willingness to let
use the Earth’s power in our battle already earns my respect!"
"Haha... interesting, very interesting!"
Detrius, appreciating Brady’s candidness, laughed heartily. Origin Force surged within him, transforming into waves of blue ripples that swept over his body.
It was the fusion of Origin Force and the ’Water Realm’.
