Although Lilia lost, everyone applauded for her.
She lost the competition but won respect.
Lilia did not give up when facing an opponent stronger than her.
Instead, she chose to try fighting.
And she had performed an astonishing technique in front of everyone.
This was enough to gain everyone's respect.
Although Ceso won, everyone had the same thought.
This Lilia would definitely become the most powerful mage in the world!
Ceso walked over to Lilia very gentlemanly and held her hand, wanting to give her a kiss.
However, Lilia withdrew her hand in a panic.
It occurred to her instinctively that Betta might be watching her.
This behavior was actually very rude.
Ceso was also stunned, feeling a little awkward.
Lilia knew that her actions were inappropriate. She blushed and lowered her head, and whispered.
"I'm really sorry."
Upon hearing Lilia's words, Ceso smiled and said.
"It's alright, I was too abrupt."
After saying those words, the two of them left the stage. Neither of them mentioned this matter again.
The bald headmaster walked out again and announced.
"The winner of the first match of the third round is Demon Hunter Union's Ceso!"
"The second match is the internal battle of New York City's No. 1 Middle School."
"Kirk VS Betta!"
"Can the two of you please come on stage!"
As soon as the headmaster finished speaking, Kirk stood up and gave Betta a challenging look.
This brat was so arrogant just because he had a demon companion.
It pissed Kirk off.
Also, when Kirk had asked Betta to cooperate with him in the team battle, he did not give him any face at all.
This time, he had to teach this kid a lesson.
Betta, on the other hand, walked onto the stage without looking at Kirk.
The two of them slowly stood on both sides.
The headmaster raised his hand and said.
"The two contestants are ready."
"Let the duel begin!"
Everyone stared at the stage, ready to enjoy the exciting battle.
However, something unexpected happened.
Neither of them moved.
By then, Cretius had moved Bert's recliner and Cola over.
Although the competition ruled out that participants could not leave the stage, there was no rule that demon companions could not leave the stage.
Therefore, this was not considered a violation.
When Betta sat on the recliner and started drinking Cola, Kirk sneered.
"Betta, do you know?"
"You are way too arrogant."
"How dare you still have the mood to lie down leisurely when faced with my strength."
"Do you really think that I won't hurt you?"
However, Betta put on his sunglasses and said softly.
"If you want to fight, hurry up and fight. What's with all the nonsense?"
"Cody, teach him a good lesson."
Upon hearing this, Cretius turned to look at Betta and said.
"Can we kill this kid?"
Betta smiled and said.
"Killing someone is out of the question, we just have to humiliate him."
"Okay."
Cretius nodded and walked forward.
Everyone saw this scene.
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
Kirk had displayed his Rank-7 Green Grade strength earlier.
And this black cat actually shamelessly asked if he could kill Kirk.
It was as if he was talking about eating and drinking.
What arrogance!
Then, an even more shocking scene happened.
A ball of light suddenly enveloped Cretius's body. It looked like an ability to increase one's strength.
But that is not the point.
Most importantly, this ball of light was only yellow!
Yellow Grade strength, he actually dared to ask if he could kill Kirk!
Wasn't this a joke?
Seeing the strength that Cretius had displayed, Kirk was slightly taken aback. Then, he laughed out loud.
"I thought this black cat was very powerful."
"So you don't even have the strength of a Green Grade."
With that said, he turned to the bald headmaster and asked.
"Headmaster, according to the rules of this exchange, killing the demon shouldn't be considered breaking the rules, right?"
The headmaster frowned slightly.
One should know that both Betta and Kirk were students at the No. 1 Middle School in New York City.
They were originally on the same side, so there was no need to do this.
However, he still nodded gently.
Because it really wasn't against the rules.
The exchange only stated that they were not allowed to kill their opponents.
But there was no mention of not being able to kill the opponent's demon companion.
After receiving the confirmation from the bald headmaster, Kirk looked at Cretius again and gave a ferocious expression.
"I'm sorry, kitten. Don't hate me."
"If you want to hate someone, then hate your useless partner for offending someone he shouldn't have!"
As he spoke, just like Cretius, a green light enveloped his body.
There was no suspense in this battle.
The outcome of the match would definitely be the same as the previous one.
High grade defeating a low grade.
However, everyone present, apart from the headmaster and LilIia, did not feel sorry for Betta.
To them, Betta's behavior was not worthy of respect!
They even hoped that Betta would quickly lose the competition.
However, they were soon to be disappointed.
Just as Kirk raised his foot to charge at Cretius, his body was kicked, and he flew out without control, crashing into the barrier
Fortunately, he bounced back a little when he hit the barrier.
Otherwise, he would have fallen off the stage and lost his qualification to compete.
When Kirk landed, he immediately stood up and stared in disbelief at the man and cat in front of him.
However, one of them was slurping his Cola.
The other sat at where he was, licking his paws.
"What happened just now?"
Everyone had the same question.
The next second, Kirk charged forward again, full of caution.
However, just like before, he was sent flying once more.
Likewise, Kirk hit the barrier again and bounced back onto the stage.
Then Kirk stood up again.
And yet again, Kirk was sent flying again.
Kirk bounced back again.
After several times, almost everyone present stood up.
This scene was simply too shocking.
The Green Grade Kirk was being played by a black cat?
Most surprising.
Absolutely nobody saw how it attacked!
