Chapter 694 The Second Grade Of Imperial Soul

When the sword radiance completely disappeared, Vinson remained rooted to the spot with a blood-soaked body and a dejected expression on his face. He slumped to the ground and passed out.

The seventh round of battles also ended after Zachary triumphed after Vinson. Vinson, who was cocky and self-centered, injured himself to a great extent, and got what he deserved. He quit the last fight, which left the eighth round more complicated and unresolved.

Vinson's withdrawal from the fight meant one less skilled competitor. There were only three warriors who had won each one of the seven battles that they had competed in, including Zachary and Saul. But since only two out of the three would meet in the eighth round, this would imply that only two warriors would have won all the eight battles by the end of the competition. They would also be the enduring pair who could enter the second phase of the qualifying contest. The eighth round would determine these last two positions. Those who followed closely behind and won the eighth round would have more chances of entering the second phase as well.

The crowd felt a bit exhausted because the intense battle had lasted for three days and nights. The eighth and final round had everybody intrigued on who would be the four warriors that could secure the four seats in the second stage. As soon as the eighth round began, the hushed audience became alive again, with different kinds of cheers and hoorays ringing out.

Although most of the warriors no longer had the opportunity of entering the second phase, they still fought like hell so long as their strength lasted.

To build up the suspense of the contest, the organizers arranged the two crucial battles to happen last on stage. The most sensational would be the fight between two warriors who had won their earlier seven battles. Everybody speculated who these warriors would be. The mystery would soon have its answers.

Several hours later, the first of the two final battles officially began.

They announced the name of one of the warriors who would fight the battle. "Saul from the Xuanyuan Clan."

When the audience heard Saul's name, they instantly pricked up their ears because the identity of his opponent would affect the result of the first phase of the qualifying contest. They wondered whether Saul would fight against one of the two warriors who had a winning streak earlier.

Soon after, they introduced the name of the other warrior for the battle. "Harley Bai from the Xiao Clan."

The audience erupted into an uproar. Nobody had expected that Saul and Zachary would clash again, not long after the race for marriage held by the Xiao Clan, as if it was destiny that led them to meet repeatedly.

Saul just sneered. He waited for this moment the most, because he would soon finish

power, so neither of them could take the upper hand.

Soon, Saul broke the standoff. Suddenly, blood appeared in his hand that was clutching the Holy Golden Spear. The red liquid streamed down the spear and spread throughout the weapon.

"Bloodthirsty Spear Skill!" Saul shouted. His eyes turned bright red and got covered with blood. A strange emanation went off from his body. The aura of the spiritual soul behind him elevated in a flash. A moment later, it broke through the second grade.

"The second grade of Imperial Soul." Everyone was shocked. It was already unthinkable that Saul could cultivate a materialized spiritual soul with his strength. But now, it became clear that he could make his spiritual soul advance further and cross the threshold into the second grade.

After its aura intensified, Saul's spiritual soul became more persuasive. He wielded the spear wildly in the air and charged straight at Zachary.

"Do you think only your Imperial Soul can reach the second grade?" Zachary scoffed. In an instant, the aura of Gisele, who was behind him, levitated quickly. A wave of low energy spread out like ripples. Suddenly, a glint of spiritual light appeared on the air, steadily gathering toward Gisele.

Gisele's aura passed through the second grade of Imperial Soul, which amazed the crowd.

"His spiritual soul has also advanced to the second grade. Oh my God, are these two monsters?"

"This day is unbelievable!"

"I didn't expect a battle between two Imperial Level warriors at the medium stage would be so thrilling."

All of a sudden, pandemonium reigned in the venue.

Seeing that Zachary's spiritual soul also broke through and reached the second grade of Imperial Soul, Saul's face turned despondent.

However, something more remarkable happened, because the aura of Gisele did not stop at the second grade. It was still rising.
