The next three challenges ended just like the first one.
Michael used enhanced Qi Swords to overwhelm his opponents. He inflicted mortal wounds that nearly killed the poor students.
The 4th challenge had been a little bit more intense but the challenge was still not comparable to his sparring sessions with Kaleb, and Lincoln. The sparring sessions were simply on a different level.
He had begun to lose interest when he saw his opponent for the 5th challenge. Michael was facing a familiar Awakened; Frederik Kolbenheim.
"I never knew that you reached the top 100 of the freshman ranking," Michael said to Frederik when they met outside the arena.
"I've been trying my best to deepen my understanding of the Inheritance technique. That means I need to fight as much as possible while feeling my Soultrait, Aeoran, and how it influences my body, mind, and soul. It's pretty interesting," Frederik answered somewhat nonchalantly.
