"You will lose this time," Whitestorm told Pearl who waited for his match to come next.

"No, I won't," Pearl replied, very certain of himself.

Whitestorm looked at him, his silver eyes seemingly mocking while his face remained unchanged. "This place is not so simply like the 2nd Arena. The 3rd Arena holds fighters in the upper Immortal Origin realm. There is no way for you to defeat them when you were already struggling with fighters on the lower floor."

Pearl looked at him. "Was I?"

The fox frowned at the response. Was he? He recalled Pearl's final few fights before he was promoted to this floor. It had taken him dozens of minutes to defeat his enemies. All of them were individuals who were close to promoting themselves, so it was clear that anyone who would be fighting him right now would be very much stronger than Pearl himself.

So then... why was he so certain he would still win?

"You..." the fox's eyes narrowed. "You don't have anyone else betting on you too, do you?"

Pearl gave a confused look. "What do you mean? Why would I have anyone else bet on me?"

'This bastard!' the fox thought. 'He's playing coy with me. Did he really find someone else to bet on him opposite of me?'

If Pearl had done that, it would mean that Pearl would have every intention to lead him astray with his words. "Are you going to lose the upcoming battle or not?" the fox asked.

Pearl turned to him. "I told you already, I'm going to win."

"How sure are you on that?" the fox asked.

"As sure as I can ever be," Pearl said. "Unless they bring out a very strong fighter, I should still be able to. I can guarantee you that."

The fox nodded, understanding now not to trust Pearl. 'He's been bought over by someone else. Did someone realize what I was doing? Are they trying to steal my money?'

The ram stared at Pearl for a moment before letting out a snicker. "As a beast, do you feel it right to be using a weapon? Just change your form and fight how you're supposed to."

Pearl simply spun his spear once, slamming the butt down on the ground. "And who decides how we are supposed to fight?" he asked.

"Nature," the ram said.

"Nature suggests you are nothing more than a prey for us predators," Pearl said. "Will you let me kill you then?"

The ram's eyes changed. He did not wish to entertain Pearl anymore. He said nothing since and waited for the referee to start.

The moment the referee gave him the go, he immediately attacked with a blast of energy that appeared from on top of his head where the violet crystal lay.

Pearl had been ready for an attack. He quickly moved, using one of the 5 spear techniques Grimsight had taught him.

When Grimsight was still known as Spearheaven, he created 5 different spear techniques after scouring the world for all sorts of techniques. He had only found the best of the best and refined them down to just 5 different ones, naming them the Five Heavenly Forms of Spear.

And he had taught it all to Pearl.

Pearl wasn't sure if he was the only one that was ever taught this or not. He wasn't even sure if this was all that Grimsight had. But for some reason, he had a feeling that Grimsight had seen his talent and thus decided to leave behind a legacy of his own with Pearl.

Pearl had learned all of those forms, and while he had not completely mastered all of them, he had mastered 3 different ones.

They were all he truly needed for now.

Five Heavenly Forms of Spear - Second Form: Heaven Guarding Spear

The spear suddenly spun in front of him, each spin pulling energy out of him, turning it into a barrier technique.

The blast of energy struck the barrier and slowly dissipated. The attack was quite strong, strong enough to defeat Pearl had he not used the technique.

But against Grimsight's spear art, it fell apart without even touching him. The spear stopped spinning and Pearl caught it, ready for the battle.
