Too easy for Brandon
Félix wasted no ti as he sprinted towards Brandon, his opponent on the top platform.
He didn't even bother with defense, fully intent on bombarding Brandon until he was able to force him off the stage.
Exploiting Brandon's disdain for him was also part of his strategy.
[< Low Tier Spell - Fire Ball Burst>]
Félix extended his hand forward, unleashing a large fireball aid directly at Brandon, who stood unmoving in the sa position.
"What is he doing?, Move out of the way before that fireball injures you!" soone exclaid in the crowd.
"Is he really trying to take a fire elent attack head-on?, That's incredibly foolish since fla attacks have high attack power,"
Murmurs arose from the onlookers who couldn't resist voicing their thoughts.
Only Arthur wore a slight smile, confident that the fireball would be no match for Brandon, having witnessed his power during Alec's training firsthand.
Just as it seed like the fireball was about to hit its target, Brandon's deep voice echoed through the arena.
[< Low Tier Spell - Earth Shield >]
Earth elents began rotating around Brandon's outstretched left hand, forming a condensed shield with a hint of gold at its edges.
"BOOM!"
A deafening sound reverberated as the fireball collided with the earth shield, causing an explosion.
However, Brandon remained steadfast, not moved an inch.
A slight smirk crept onto his face, further irritating Félix.
"That's impossible! How can you withstand my Fire Ball Burst so effortlessly?" Félix asked, visibly astonished.
"Well, if you had put more commitnt into your fireball, it might have had a chance to push
back, But your weak attempt only left a small scratch on my earth shield,"
Brandon taunted Félix, holding nothing back.
"Hmm, I suspected sothing was off with their Reaction speed" Knight murmured, shocked by Brandon's Reaction to the attack as he rembered the ti, both him and Arthur had found him out as he was coming out of the shadows.
"What do you an, Knight?"
Agnes inquired, curious about his observation.
"I think both Arthur and Brandon have advanced to the (Mid) Tier 1 realm while hiding in seclusion for so long."
" But as for Alec, I believe he may have beco a (High) Tier 1 mage," Knight stated, sharing his prediction with Agnes
"What?! That's impossible!"
Agnes imdiately refuted, unwilling to accept the idea that Alec had surpassed her by such a significant margin.
"Well, it's just a prediction, Rember how Alec was the first among the younger generation to beco a mage."
" Don't tell
you've forgotten," Knight reminded her, offering evidence to support his claims.
Agnes clenched her teeth in frustration at the thought that Alec could be a (high) Tier 1 mage.
She wasn't prepared to admit that the timid Alec, who had let her take the lead, would always be one step ahead of her in cultivation.
"Now, it's my turn,"
Brandon declared, finally taking the initiative to attack.
[< Stone Fists >]
Brandon transford his hands into sturdy stone gloves with small spikes protruding from them.
He no longer wasted words and imdiately charged towards Félix.
"So fast!" Félix exclaid, only able to see a blur as Brandon closed in on him.
He was shocked because his powers should have been able to rival Brandon's, as they were both (Mid) Tier 1 mages.
However, he had severely underestimated his opponent.
When Brandon reached Félix, the latter crossed his hands in an 'X' shape, encasing them with small flas as a form of defense.
"Pity that won't help you now!"
Brandon shouted as he delivered a powerful punch to Félix's gut, causing him to be launched off the stage.
"Brandon wins,"
The voice from the top platform announced as Félix landed outside the stage.
"He's so strong!" soone murmured in awe.
"Well, I guess he didn't beco one of Alec's generals for nothing," another voice remarked.
"Imagine Félix, a (Mid) Tier 1 mage, being knocked out with just one punch, If we compete against him, aren't we just offering ourselves up as sacrifices?"
a concerned individual pondered.
The crowd resud their murmurs, witnessing how effortlessly Brandon had knocked out one of the elites from the Fridall clan.
"I challenge you!"
soone shouted from within the Fridall family, their anger evident in their voice.
"I accept!"
Brandon swiftly accepted the challenge without even bothering to turn and see who it was.
"Your arrogance will be your downfall,"
the challenger taunted, sparks of fire bursting from their hands without even casting a spell.
It was clear that their control over fire was superior to Félix's own.
"(Gasp) That's Félix's older brother, Violent Fridall, also known as 'Violent Fla' of the Fridall clan"
" He's second only to Bree Fridall. I think Brandon might be in trouble now,"
Agnes whispered to Knight, who could only shake his head at her apparent lack of support for Brandon.
Rather than cheering for Brandon, it was clear that Agnes didn't want him to win.
If he succeeded, it would lead to discussions within the Gordon Clan about how Brandon fearlessly faced challenges on behalf of the family,
while Agnes herself had chosen to evade them due to her inability to accept challenges from the families who opposed Alec.
"Let's watch and see, I have faith in him, though," Knight responded calmly.
"Brother, watch out! He's quite strong!" Félix warned his older brother, Violent.
"I know. Step back, Things are about to heat up around here now," Violent Fla replied, and Félix nodded before quickly stepping aside.
Violent Fla charged straight at Brandon, who still had the Stone Fist spell active.
[< Low Tier Spell - Fire Fist >].
"Take my punch and let's see whose spell is stronger!"
Violent Fla declared, as Flas burned fiercely around his body as he launched his attack, while Brandon stood his ground, maintaining his battle stance, and delivered his own punch with the Stone Fist.
A small explosion resonated through the air as their fists collided, filling the area with smoke.
Violent Fla could be seen being flung out of the smoke, but the action wasn't over yet.
Within seconds, Brandon erged from the smoke, chasing after Violent Fla who was still in mid-air from the impact.
15:39
The spectators were left in shock, unable to believe that Violent, who they had hyped up, had lost so easily in a display of strength, especially in the first exchange.
Digging his flaming hands into the ground, Violent managed to halt his flying montum, but his frustration was palpable.
" Fuck!"
He cursed when he realized that Brandon had caught up to him the mont he stopped,
and he didn't want to be knocked out of the stage before even facing Brandon seriously.
Quicker than lightning, Violent threw another punch at Brandon, flas burning fiercely around his palm.
However, Brandon swiftly grabbed his hand and twisted it, behind his back and forcing Violent Fla to his knees.
Brandon then delivered a powerful knee strike to Violent's back, knocking him down to the floor.
Before Violent Fla could react, multiple earth spears erged from the ground, pointing threateningly at the his neck, while Brandon pushed him forward a little further towards the earth spears.
"I... I... I surrender!"
Violent Fla stamred, fear and terror evident on his face.
He couldn't fathom how Brandon had defeated him so easily and instantly.
"Brandon wins," echoed the voice from the top platform, and Brandon released Violent Fla.
The earth spears swiftly disappeared, as if they had never been there in the first place.
The audience was too shocked to comnt on anything.
Violent's quick defeat had taken them all by surprise.
"Is Violent Fla just too weak, or is Brandon simply too strong? I can't wrap my head around how easily Violent was beaten," soone in the crowd wondered aloud.
"Shhh... it seems those bastards from the Gordons Clan are ridiculously strong. Let's just be grateful that Alec is sleeping right now."
" Otherwise, we might not even have the courage to step onto the stage," a mber of the Lanzt family whispered.
The rest of the family nodded, for they had witnessed Alec's formidable abilities before, and now, Brandon was giving off the sa aura as Alec had during the battle at the south wall.
"Can you defeat him, brother?"
Sheila Lanzt asked Bryan silently, her eyes fixed on Brandon.
She had noticed how effortlessly Brandon had defeated two opponents, making people forget that he hadn't even drawn his sword from the ground.
"No!" Bryan replied with a sad expression, for he knew that even if he could draw out all his Mana for a disaster spell to defeat Brandon, there was still Arthur standing in his way.
The idea of rivalling Alec was slowly fading from his mind.
"How did Brandon beco so powerful?" Sheila gasped, taking in a deep breath as she tried to process the strength displayed by Brandon.
