Chapter 1989 Young Talents

The day concluded after the third match, leaving only 64 participants—32 in the strongest category and 32 in the under-20 category. The dominance of the Romans persisted, with 30 of them still in the tournament, while only 10 monks remained.

Eager to highlight the prowess of Earth warriors, Klea emphasized the significant increase in average battle power: 74 in the strongest category and 58 in the under-20 category. This showcased that most of the under-20 participants were already at the Skyrealm stage, a remarkable achievement.

However, Magus Nathan, once again, remained disinterested, his stern demeanor unchanged.

Undeterred, Klea hatched another plan to impress the magus. Leading the group to the vibrant city of Alexandria in Egypt, she spared no effort in offering a different kind of hospitality. Exotic foods tantalized their taste buds, melodic music filled the air, and enchanting women provided entertainment. The atmosphere was imbued with the essence of Egyptian culture and luxury, a feast for the senses. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Klea's hope was high that this extravagant display would finally captivate the magus and earn his favorable view of Earth's potential. However, despite the lavish surroundings, the magus maintained his stoic expression, unmoved by the efforts to sway his opinion. The disappointment on Klea's face was palpable as her attempts to win the magus alliance's favor remained unsuccessful.

Her persistent efforts elicited sympathy even from Morgana, who offered to showcase her talents to the two emissaries. However, having witnessed Morgana's terrifying dance of fire before, both Emery and Klea quickly rejected her offer.

"Just give it up, Klea. Don't worry; you have done enough," Emery advised.

Almost ready to concede, Klea's determination reignited when she noticed an unexpected shift in Magus Nathan's emotion. A crack appeared in his otherwise calm demeanor, and though he attempted to conceal it, Klea discerned the source—Tivali, her Bestet Tiger pet, had passed through the hall in her pitch-black cat form.

<He has a weakness for cats!> Morgana conveyed telepathically.

With a decisive yet subtle move, Klea deliberately called out Tivali to come and play with her. Sensing the growing tension from the magus emissary, she casually asked, "Do you like cats?" Magus Nathan remained silent, but his visible gulp betrayed his anxiety. Seizing the moment, Klea allowed Tivali to play with him, effectively breaking the ice. "What a beautiful creature," Magus Nathan finally remarked.

The audience held high hopes for the three monks, each a disciple under the tutelage of the Abbot himself. One monk demonstrated the rigid defense of the golden bell technique, another exhibited fierce palm strikes imbued with the power of nine flaming suns, and the third showcased mastery over ice spells. Despite their impressive skills, the monks lacked the extensive fighting experience possessed by the Romans. The young Romans, despite their age, had accumulated some battle experience, evident in their confident and skillful maneuvers.

Disappointment loomed as all three were defeated one by one. Among the eight arenas, only two warriors managed to overcome their Roman opponents.

The first to achieve this feat was Kingrig, the Mayan warrior whose savage appearance belied his impressive skills. The second unexpected victor was a seemingly thin and almost fragile Han swordsman. Whispers spread through the crowd like wildfire:

"Who is that swordsman?" "

"How did he manage to win against the Romans?"

"Did he cheat?"

"As long as the Romans lose, who cares!"

As whispers circulated among the audience, some speculated that the young swordsman might have just been fortunate in his initial victory. However, to everyone's surprise, the swordsman, whose face was covered in a bamboo hat, continued to showcase spectacular fights, winning yet another match and securing a spot in the semifinals.

The intriguing performance of this mysterious swordsman caught the attention of both the spectators and the magus area. Curious, Klea began investigating the identity of this skilled swordsman. To their collective surprise, it was revealed that the 17-year-old swordsman was still in the Earth realm, showing a battle power score of 56. "His name is Ha Ron,"
