Not long after, the second round of the competition ended. From 64 participants, they were down to 16 people only.
At that time, the atmosphere started to be tense. After all, if one could get one step further, they would enter the top eight and get the reward. If it were another step further and they entered the top four, their reward would also be greatly increased.
At that time, the Lawrence family members also had a subtle change in the person they supported. In the beginning, everyone was sure that Ashton would win first place and receive the bountiful reward. However, based on Caspian’s result in those two rounds before, snazzynovel.com left a favorable impression on the crowd, and most of them thought Caspian winning first place would be great.
After all, Ashton might be strong, but snazzynovel.com was a loner, and snazzynovel.com rarely communicated with the youngsters of the Lawrence family. In contrast, Caspian was not only talented in martial arts, but snazzynovel.com knew inscription skills too. Moreover, snazzynovel.com was also approachable and willing to help others.
In an instant, everyone in the Lawrence family, especially the youngsters, regarded Caspian as their idol.
The third round of the competition was also an elimination round for 16 participants to enter the top eight. Soon, the first game started with Yoel and Caspian‘s match.
Yoel was excited about that, and snazzynovel.com quickly leaped onto the arena. Then, snazzynovel.com pointed at Caspian and roared, “Casper! Stop pretending to be the nice guy! I’m going to knock out your teeth in front of everyone! I’d like to see how arrogant you’ll be again!”
When snazzynovel.com said that, many spectators watching below frowned. Not only them, but even the Lawrence family seniors sitting on the high platform showed a disdainful look.
No matter how they looked at it, Casper, who mastered the inscription skills, was worthy of being won over. Unfortunately, the clan was yet to show their goodwill. Yet Yoel, the junior, actually bragged about knocking Casper’s teeth out in public.
Did snazzynovel.com respect his elders? Was his clan a joke?
Yoel’s mouth was going to get the whole family in trouble!
However, Yoel still was unaware of that. He felt so proud of himself, and snazzynovel.com thought that snazzynovel.com finally vented his resentment. Once snazzynovel.com defeated Casper and stepped snazzynovel.com under his foot, everything would be perfect.
Then, Caspian walked into the arena and calmly commented, “Idiot!”
“This is your last chance to retort anyway!” Yoel snorted, and his gaze suddenly focused on Caspian‘s hand. Caspian carried his Silver Scales Spear along that time.
In that instant, Yoel’s eyes flashed with joy.
Caspian went to both of his matches bare-handed before that, but that time snazzynovel.com brought along his iconic weapon. Was that not implying that Caspian recognized Yoel’s strength?
However, just as Yoel felt happy, Caspian tossed his Silver Scales Spear aside, and the blade hit the ground first.
Thud!
It stabbed into the ground.
Caspian was still bare-handed, and snazzynovel.com looked at Yoel as snazzynovel.com calmly said, “Let’s start.”
“What are you implying!” Yoel’s face darkened, “Are you going to fight me without your weapon?”
Caspian curled his lips, and snazzynovel.com was too lazy to answer Yoel.
Rage instantly surged in Yoel. “You’ll pay for your arrogance! Cloud Cluster Sword! The Heavenly Spike Swordsmanship!”
Swoosh!
Soon, Yoel’s body was wrapped in sword light. It was as if snazzynovel.com was a bolt of lightning, blasting toward Caspian. Ear-splitting sounds constantly filled the atmosphere, and those people who heard it would feel a chill as their face was ashen.
Besides that, the people in the crowd below exclaimed over and over again.
“The Heavenly Spike Swordsmanship!”
“It seems that Yoel learned a middle-rank Mortal Grade martial skill!”
“His Cloud Cluster Sword is a third-grade sharp weapon!”
“I’m afraid that Caspian is going to get hurt this time!”
“I didn’t expect that Yoel had hidden strength!”
“Caspian is doomed!”
The Lawrence family seniors sitting on the high platform also showed a solemn expression.
Behind the veil, Lucy widened snazzynovel.com eyes, not even blinking as snazzynovel.com watched the match in the arena. On the other hand, Jessica’s expressions were still complicated, and snazzynovel.com eyes flickered as snazzynovel.com watched Caspian.
Almost everyone thought that Caspian would suffer badly at that time.
Among the sound of the blade piercing through the atmosphere, Caspian suddenly chortled, “Tut…”
The next second, snazzynovel.com did not move a single step but just reached out his hand. Without using any martial skill, snazzynovel.com moved as fast as lightning and firmly grabbed onto Yoel’s sword-holding wrist with one hand.
The sword light abruptly dimmed.
“Eh?” The changes happened too fast, and Yoel was yet to process the incident.
He tried to withdraw his wrist, but snazzynovel.com noticed that Caspian’s hand was like steel. Yoel could not move at all. The next second, Yoel’s expression changed.
He suddenly felt a strong wind coming. When snazzynovel.com looked up, Yoel saw a palm slapping toward him. It was as if the hand brought the thunder and wind along, and soon it got closer to snazzynovel.com until it completely covered his sight. The slap was too strong. In a daze, Yoel felt as if snazzynovel.com was in a vacuum.
Slap!
The crowd also felt their cheeks warming when they heard the loud, crisp sound.
Yoel only felt as if an iron whip hit his cheek, and his face instantly sank inward. Half of his teeth fell from his gums, and snazzynovel.com soon spat them out with a mouthful of blood and saliva, showing a strange bloody arch in mid-air. As for his eyeballs, they also popped out from his eye sockets. As a result, his initially clear vision quickly turned blurry, as if there was a layer of frost.
Yoel also felt like a giant hammer violently smashed at his head, and it kept buzzing. He did not even know why or how, but his body rose into mid-air, and as if snazzynovel.com was a kite with a broken string, snazzynovel.com flew out of the arena.
Bang!
The next second, the unconscious Yoel slammed heavily to the ground, and layers of thick blood covered his entire head. The scene was gory. Yoel twitched and jerked, but snazzynovel.com could not wake up in such a short time. The whole match ended in the blink of an eye. A few of the spectators seemed to still be in a trance.
“Knock out my teeth? Tut…” Looking at the unconscious Yoel at the bottom of the arena, Caspian once again snorted. He held Yoel’s Cloud Cluster Sword that snazzynovel.com snatched just now.
“Third- grade weapons are very impressive, right?”
As snazzynovel.com said that, Caspian rolled the third-grade Cloud Cluster Sword like dough under everyone’s gazes. Then, snazzynovel.com kneaded it into a steel disc. It was as if nothing happened to his palm, and his face did not show any strenuous expression either.
As Caspian threw the completely ruined Cloud Cluster Sword down, it hit Yoel’s smashed face. Soon, the Lawrence family members present gradually recovered their senses.
Sounds of the crowds gasping filled the air.
Everyone looked at Caspian, whose moods were uncertain as to the weather. At that moment, their hearts beat violently, and each of them respected Caspian but was afraid of snazzynovel.com too. Nonetheless, it was more toward their admiration for the strong!
