Chapter 510 Dark Golden Stone (Part Two)

As soon as he noticed that Miles had left, Jaxon stayed where he was. He had no intentions of asking him to stay, seeing in the previous competition, Zachary obviously had more potential than Miles anyway. On top of it all, Zachary could easily provide the Dark Golden Stone, while no other warrior of Imperial Level in all of the Devil Kingdom could do the same. Zachary's overwhelming win over Miles did nothing other than prove that he was more appealing to the clans and sects than Miles ever was.

Zachary was an obvious super talent, and there was no way Jaxon was going to give up on recruiting him just because of Miles, who seemed to be much inferior. Despite that, Jaxon understood that if he gave up on Miles, it also meant that he was taking a risk, because Zachary hadn't made his final decision yet. It was still possible that he wouldn't choose the Xiao Clan in the end. Nevertheless, for now, no matter what happened, the Xiao Clan's first choice was still Zachary.

When Miles left, only Zachary was left standing on the stage alone. The entire crowd fixed their burning eyes on him, as he was the last warrior of Imperial Level and the true star of the meeting. What would now follow was his special performance.

"Since everyone here has evidently witnessed how well Harley Bai, the new warrior of Imperial Level, performed just moments ago, I don't have anything more to say. In spite of having expressed interest for the Xiao Clan, he hasn't made his final decision yet. This means that all the other clans and sects still have a chance. Without further ado, if you want to recruit him, please raise your paddle!" Tracy announced, gaining momentum in her voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, every single paddle in the area was raised high into the air, all at the same time and in an extremely orderly manner. Such an occurrence had never happened before, not in any of the previous meetings of the same kind. Without exception, all the clans and sects in the Devil Kingdom wanted to recruit Zachary.

Albeit astonishing, what was happening remained within the bounds of reason. After all, Zachary really was a super talent. Even though certain clans and sects knew that they would never be capable of attracting him, they too were willing to join the masses and have their fun.

Such a rare scene still caused all the Shura College disciples watching in the surrounding area to fall completely silent. One way or another, Zachary was still a member of the Celestial College. He had drawn so much attention in the Devil Kingdom, however, that they couldn't help but envy him.

"Ha-ha! What an honor and great surprise that so many clans and sects want to recruit me. It's almost a shame that I can't replicate myself, right? If that were possible, I ensure you, every clan and sect would recruit one of my replicas...I don't want to disappoint anyone," Zachary said in a light, joking tone after glancing around and reading the crowd.

The crowd immediatel

edibly strong power at any moment. Everyone watching the scene unfold was shocked, not only by what they were seeing, but by his powerful Sage Level aura as well.

At once, the leaders and representatives of the clans and sects all stood up spontaneously without taking their amazed eyes off him, as if they were greeting a king. Behaving in such a way was actually normal and even expected, because Larry Xuanyuan, the Xuanyuan Clan's head, was the number one Sage Level warrior in the Devil Kingdom as well as one of the top five Sage Level warriors in all the Supernal Continent. Therefore, everybody was bound to showing their respect to such a prestigious figure.

In fact, there were Holy Level and even Divine Level warriors above the Sage Level ones. In comparison to them, the number one Sage Level warrior might be nothing. Ever since the establishment of the four martial colleges though, in order to keep balance as well as to avoid bloody and cruel struggles among the clans and sects in every kingdom, the four martial colleges had jointly announced a rule that once a warrior reached the Holy Level, they could no longer serve as the leader of a clan or sect and had to retreat from any conflict between such. Otherwise, the warrior would be severely punished.

Everyone agreed that this rule was reasonable. After all, once a warrior reached the Holy Level, their strength became utterly immeasurable. In other words, a Holy Level warrior could cause countless casualties with ease. As such, if a Holy Level warrior wanted to use their power and strength in order to seek personal benefits, many people would die in horrendous misery.

For this reason, only very few big shots at the Holy Level could be seen in the kingdoms on the Supernal Continent. The leaders of all the clans and sects were warriors below the Holy Level. Under such a context, the number one Sage Level warrior was already considered godly in the eyes of any warrior, thus attracting their reverence.
