Oliver was unaware of the reason why Hall Master Leo was looking at him mysteriously but he felt things won't end well, receiving that type of attention from the Hall Master with one thousand plus people around that took everyone that they are seeing as their enemy as long as you are taking part in the ten thousand battle tournament. As Oliver was analyzing how the situation would not end well for him, he felt eyes staring at him, starting from the people at the front that was the first to notice Hall Master Leo's strange attitude as soon as the people at the front started looking backward everyone followed suit trying to find who or what they were all looking at, that was even able to capture the attention of the Hall master.
Not up to thirty seconds Oliver felt close to a thousand pairs of eyes staring at him, quickly he became the one in the spotlight of the gathering, when the eyes landed on Oliver he saw everyone quickly changing the position they were all facing and all of them were face his direction like he was the one on the platform addressing the magical cultivators like him and Hall Master Exchange position.
The weirdest thing was that Oliver was the only person at the entrance to the assessment and instruction compound standing there about to step in to miss with the people inside but he had not stepped in so he could not hide. The people were wondering why Hall Master Leo was looking at the weak Oliver and most of them felt it was out of place to be carrying a spirit beast when everyone can conjure their sacred guardian beasts.
Oliver felt the pressure and knew there was no way he would be able to shrink back or run away from it he stood in place with a gentle smile on his face he met the gaze of everyone that was looking at him easily like it was nothing but deep down he was praying for them to divert their attention from him but he notices that it was not happening until he decides to do something about it.
"Hall Master Leo, long time no see I hope all is well with you". Oliver felt the only way to shift the attention he was receiving was to direct the attention of everyone to someone else and the only person he saw fit for the job was Hall Master Leo.
When Hall Master Leo heard what Oliver said he regain himself and knew he was indeed carried away this time that everyone that was in the square that he was addressing was even distracted by him and was now focused on Oliver. But there was nothing he could do about it but to go with the flow.
"Little lad Oliver how are you doing, I hope have been doing fine because I have been living well since you left". Hall Master Leo said to Oliver with a bright smile on his face with the way he and Oliver were relating it was like they were good friends that have not met each other for a long time and they were happy seeing each other but the one thousand-plus people there could feel like there was something hidden under the carpet that the two don't want to go in, in detail
"Hope you won't disappoint me in the tournament. Since you were able to kill a ninth level of the Qi essence realm black havoc wolf with this strength of yours". Hall Master Leo said sarcastically with a light laugh accompanying his statement when everyone heard it, they were shocked and they knew the gunpowder they were smelling was about to be released, they were all waiting on how Oliver would answer Hall Master Leo because, to most of them, they would shrink back and not dare to provoke someone as Hal Master Leo
"Hall Master Leo I will not let you down, I promise you" Oliver took a quick pause and continued
"I will make sure you share tears because of my victory and it won't be that of joy but sorrowful" Oliver felt he could not take it anymore, why would Hall Master Leo bring something of the past to a serious occasion that everyone presents was an enemy to the other, saying that he killed a black havoc wolf with his little strength was placing in a tight space and everyone would take him seriously because any little piece of information was enough to give anyone victory and he knew nothing about anyone there because the tournament as not begin to record the battles and strength of anyone that is participating in the tournament but saying he defeated a black havoc Wolf in the presence of a thousand plus people, some would take it lightly why some would take it seriously and Oliver knew that the set of people that will take it seriously would be much because everyone wants to win.
When the one thousand-plus people heard what Oliver said they were shocked they never expected the weak young youth would be that bold and were not afraid of the implication of stepping on someone like Hall Master Leo.
"Don't worry, I know you have a wild mouth". Hall Master Leo said lightly but everyone in the square could hear him clearly it was like he did not feel what Oliver said he was expecting Oliver to be that courageous and it was not their first time exchanging words like this.
"Y'all this little friend is very strong and he even kill a black havoc wolf stronger than most of you, you heard when I mention the power level of the black havoc wolf so take him seriously and teach him some lesson for me" Hall Master Leo said with a wild laughter like he will show the weak Oliver who is the boss with a borrowed knife.
Oliver stood there like nothing would shake him no matter what Hall Master Leo will say.
"If you believe him or not that is yours to accept it has nothing to do with me and besides we are all here to partake in the ten thousand battle tournament".
"It is not some play time but it involves fighting and risking one's life, I will go all out on whoever my opponent may be so I expect my opponent to go hard on me too".
"Am not here to play" Oliver respond with boldness not fearing that everyone was stronger than him he knew real strength will be decided on the battlefield.
