From the explosion, dust and pebbles flew everywhere, making it hard for the audience to see the result.
However, people above Foundation Establishment Realm already knew the answer.
"Cough…Cough.." As the dust settled down, coughing sounds came from inside.
People finally saw the result of the last clash.
Tailor was kneeling on the ground with a big cut on his chest. On the other hand, Yuki was supporting himself with his sword. One could see blood coming out from behind his mask.
Tailor, with his head down, vomited out a mouthful of blood and slumped to the ground.
The judge quickly announced."The winner of this round, Yuki Skyriper!"
"YEAHHH!"
That fight made everyone's blood boil. The previous fight between Lenny and Mike could be described as one-sided, but this was almost as close.
The healers quickly came and took both of the participants away. They would be fed healing pills, as it was better than manual healing.
"Let's go," Lenny walked away to his waiting room.
"Yes," Jasmine walked behind him.
…
"Sad," Kaley said with a sigh.
Galibar asked. "What happened, daughter? What are you sad about?"
"It is nothing."Kaley shook her head.
"If you say so." Galibar didn't ask further questions.
On the other hand, the head elder was asking his subordinate through mental communication. "Have you found out their origins?"
People who have broken through to Foundation Establishment Realm could communicate with others mentally.
He had sent his men to find information about the clans of the semi-finalists.
"Yes, sir." His subordinate also mentally communicated with him.
"PoisonFire Clan is located not too far away from us. Just four or five towns away."
"Ymir Clan is situated, however, very far away. It is in the Rustburg Kingdom. They are one of the overlords of that kingdom."
"As for the rest of the two, we couldn't find a single thing."
"You didn't find even a scrap of clue?" The head elder asked curiously.
"Nothing sir."
"You can leave." His subordinate vanished from the place.
Meanwhile, the head elder pondered. 'Now, this is a trouble. The finalists are both from an unknown clan. If any of them wins and is a liar, then I will be at a loss.'
'Their clan could also be strong and just be hiding now, or they both could be fake.'
'No, I can't take a loss. I have to test the winner out later.'
The head elder glared at Yuki, who was walking away.
Galibar saw all this, from start to finish. He pondered. 'What are you thinking? Don't go too far, or we might have a new head elder.'
The head elder felt Galibar's animosity and looked back at him. He smiled at him and turned away. Galibar also retracted his gaze back.
…
Inside Lenny's waiting room.
He was looking at his daily shop. There would be five random items every day. As he got the daily shop function early in the morning, it had already been refreshed. But he was so busy fighting that he forgot to check.
'Please be something good.' Lenny prayed in his mind as if he would be getting trash every day. Just some one-stage spirit stones, some basic items, or some manuals That was useless for him now, and it was a waste of points.
[ Daily Shop ]
[ One-stage spirit stone x2 = 1 Point ]
[ Basic Breathing Technique (Early Human-Rank) = 8 Points ]
[ White Snickers = 2 Points ]
[ Seven Illusinary Steps(Peak Human-Rank) = 25 Points ]
[ Hair Comb = 0.5 Point ]
Lenny's eyes widened the moment he saw the last technique. Throughout these days, he found that Peak Human-Rank or Early Earth-Rank were all kept by the big guys, which were the clans and the families. So he knew he finally got something good.
He didn't blink an eye; he just bought it immediately.
[ Seven Illusinary Steps(Peak Human-Rank) - A movement technique that would leave behind seven illusionary clones. It requires high soul energy to detect the real one. ]
Lenny smirked to himself. 'Now, I have a bit more confidence in defeating Yuki.'
Jasmine suddenly came before him and asked."Gale, when will I start?"
"Oh," When she asked that Lenny remembered that he wanted to do something with Jasmine."I totally forgot about that. But that doesn't matter. You can just do your job."
"Okay," Jasmine nodded her head and quickly merged with the shadow underneath the wooden creaks.
It was Jasmine's innate ability. Not only Gale got stronger, Jasmine too.
[ Name: Jasmine Burnheart
Age: 82/320
Innate Ability: Shadow Merge
Cultivation realm: Three Stage Foundation Establishment Realm
Race: Shadow Wolf
Cultivation Technique: YinYang Harmony ]
[ Remarks: She is going on the path that Host is extremely weak, that is assassination. Host should use her fully. ]
Recently, she awakened the ability that was sleeping in her bloodline.
Inside Mike PoisonFire's waiting room.
"AHHH!" Mike screamed as he trashed the room. "I will kill you! I will make you pay for humiliating me!"
His eyes burned with anger as he remembered the defeat by Lenny and the cold-blooded eyes that showed no particular emotion toward his strength. He felt Lenny was showing disdain.
"I will kill that fuckers bitch first." Mike licked his lips as he thought of what he would do with Jasmine.
He was about to go when suddenly.
Puchi
He looked down in horror to see a hand come out of his chest that was holding his heart.
He turned his head and saw that it was Lenny's maid. He stuttered. "You- Blurg!"
Suddenly, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
She pulled her hand out, which made Mike drop down on the floor.
She squeezed his heart and spoke calmly. "You'll make an excellent starting point for a war."
