Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall changed!
The two guards behind Catherine rushed over. They held spears in their hands and aimed at the space between Arthur's arms and waist.
They didn't have any intention of speaking to Arthur. Instead, they wanted to attack and kick Arthur out directly!
Arthur's expression turned ugly.
The two guards were strong, and their spears were fast and powerful. If he weren't a transcendent and tried to resist, he would've been pierced through on the spot!
His expression turned cold as he grabbed the two spears.
Boom!
A huge aura instantly surged out!
The surrounding nobles who weren't strong enough were all forced to take a step back by this powerful aura.
The two guards holding the spears were at the center of Arthur's force. Arthur's hands pushed the spears to the side.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the spears broke inch by inch. Meanwhile, the two guards fell to the ground unconscious.
"This is the power of an energy level two user!"
Some of the nobles gasped when they felt Arthur's power. This commoner was actually a transcendent, and he had reached energy level two!
As the nobles' children, many were only at energy level one, far from the second level. Due to this, they all retreated and didn't want to get involved. Judging from Arthur's strength, he could easily become a noble. It was reasonable for him to come and participate in this meeting.
However, Catherine's expression became uglier as she looked at her knocked-out guards. This was her city, and he was just some commoner from the countryside. So how dare he hit her people?
He wasn't putting her, the city mayor's daughter, in his eyes.
Next to her, Grott and Ferguson didn't look too good either. They thought Catherine's guards would throw Arthur out like a dead dog and completely embarrass him.
However, they didn't expect that this country bumpkin was an energy level two transcendent.
Catherine's guards had no way of dealing with him. However, they didn't retreat like the other noble heirs.
As students of the transcendent academy, they had already reached the second energy level. Furthermore, they had learnt specialized magic and martial arts within the academy. They were both powerhouses within many energy level two users.
They were fearless when they saw Arthur, a transcendent on the same level as them.
"I didn't expect you to be a transcendent. You're here to participate in the selection, aren't you?" Ferguson leaned over.
Arthur didn't respond to him. Instead, he frowned and pretended not to see him.
When Ferguson saw Arthur's attitude toward him, he was so angry that his body trembled slightly and his fists clenched.
On the other hand, Jynx could no longer contain her anger when she saw how Catherine had tried to chase Arthur out. She glared at Catherine and said with a dark expression, "Catherine, you've gone too far!"
"Arthur is my guest. As another guest, you have no right to ask him to leave. Your behavior tonight is completely against the etiquette of a noble!"
"Hehe." Catherine laughed coldly. "You have no right to teach me noble etiquette when you're hanging around with country bumpkins."
When Grott heard the two arguing, he quickly came to smooth things over. He pointed his finger at Arthur and said, "We're just teaching Arthur the etiquette that a noble should have."
"Otherwise, who knows what he'll do when he becomes a noble. He might tarnish our reputation."
Grott looked at Arthur and said coldly, "Although he has reached energy level two, he still won't be able to pass the Sky Radiance Transcendent Academy's selection."
"However, we're all students of the academy. Therefore, today's occasion is suitable for us to give Arthur some pointers."
"Perhaps, with our guidance, Arthur can improve and enter the academy."
Grott stared at Arthur and mockingly said, "Or do you not have the courage to accept the guidance of others?"
Ferguson also stood up and said, "You're just a transcendent from the countryside; you've never seen real magic and martial arts. So it's normal if you don't have the courage."
Jynx could tell they were trying to provoke Arthur. They wanted to use this method to fight them.
She walked between them, her dress fluttering. She wanted to help Arthur reject their provocation.
Her father was a teacher at the Sky Radiance Transcendent Academy. As a student of the academy, she naturally knew the difference between transcendents from the academy and transcendents from outside.
Furthermore, Grott and Ferguson had already been in the academy for a year and received guidance from various teachers. Arthur, who had entered energy level two without any advice, was hardly a match for them.
However, just as she was about to speak, Arthur pressed her shoulder and smiled confidently. He said to Grott and Ferguson, "You two want to challenge me?"
"Sure, you guys can come together."
Jynx, who wanted to help stop the provocation, narrowed her eyes.
Arthur was too impulsive!
Without any systematic training, he was no match for these people. It was irrational to be provoked by a few words!
When the surrounding nobles heard that Arthur accepted Grott and Ferguson's challenge, they all looked at Arthur with mocking eyes.
In their eyes, non-students of the academy had no chance of winning against the academy's students when they were at the same rank. Arthur's actions were asking for trouble.
Later, he would probably make a fool out of himself after being beaten up by Grott and Ferguson.
Grott and Ferguson were overjoyed when they heard Arthur's words, their lips curling into excited smiles. This country bumpkin actually dared to accept their challenge. Alas, he really didn't appreciate his life.
Today, he will see the vast gap between a commoner and a noble!
"Who do you want to receive guidance from first?" Grott asked.
"There's no need to go through the trouble of challenging me one by one. Since both of you want to fight me, come at me all at once." Arthur said indifferently as if he didn't care about the two of them.
Everyone gasped when they heard Arthur's words!
This person wanted to fight two students from the academy simultaneously!
He was too arrogant! At this point, he was practically courting death!
