Chapter 29: Effortlessly Winning Fights

......

It looks like rumors about me have spread around to most of the Yang Sect. The horrified looks on everyone's faces are evident enough of that fact.

After realizing this, Azmodeus didn't even feel like looking eye to eye with a bunch of cowardice trash. Instead of giving them the attention they wanted, he turned his gaze up to the announcer stands, awaiting the announcer's voice.

Luckily, he didn't have to wait long as the announcer did a quick head count and understood that all the Outer Sect Disciples in the Top 100 had made it to the arena.

"Is everyone ready for the Inner Sect Competition!? A competition in which the sect will decide who is best fit for the Inner Sect based on a series of bouts that will commence in a short bit!"

HOOORAAH!

The crowd erupted in cheers and screams, as the majority of them appeared to be looking in the direction of an adorable boy who stood with a blank expression on his face.

"I see you all are raring to go, so why don't we look at the matchups for the Inner Sect Competition!?" The Announcer questioned with a boisterous voice.

...

A few minutes passed by as every participant was redirected to different parts of a now-split arena.

Unlike the Outer Sect Admittance Test, the Inner Sect Competition was one in which all of the contestants would fight every other contestant at least once until a final winner was ultimately decided.

Fights between Outer Sect Disciples usually end quickly, so going through thousands of fights doesn't take too long. That was especially the case when there were exactly 100 separate arena blocks that were made up of the original large one.

As for Azmodeus, he found himself on the other side of a fighting ring, facing a scrawny young man around fifteen years old.

However, despite the vast difference in size between the two competitors, the taller one was shivering like a jittery bug. While the other watched a certain location of the Yang Arena with varying emotions flashing past his eyes.

It seems like a few rather distinguished guests have made their way up into the VIP stands...

Azmodeus's eyes honed in on the few dozen VIP guests that were sitting up in the VIP stands.

And of the figures up there, a few Outer Deacons were present, including Elder Dong, Elder Yong, Elder Bin, and a few others.

He let out a light sigh before focusing on the ongoing fight with a boy he once called his friend.

Yang Xiao was never really the fighting type, so he was surprised that he participated in a Competition like this of his own volition.

Maybe he felt guilty about what he did to me on that day and decided to change himself for the better...?

That thought lingered around for a moment before he shook his head and softly murmured, "There's no way that conniving bastard would ever think of anyone but himself."

He discarded the topic of Yang Xiao after reaching this conclusion, as he didn't feel like wasting any more brain power on that lousy bastard.

...

A few hours passed as thousands of matches had already started and ended.

All of the matches that Azmodeus participated in were won without him even doing anything. The passive side effects of a few of his traits seemed to have some sort of intimidation effect on those who were significantly weaker than him in strength.

After all this time of effortlessly winning fights, he simply took out a chair from his storage ring and sat on the fighting ring with a bored look on his face, waiting for the matches to keep ending.

A few more hours forever disappeared from the echoes of time, as the Top 10 were eventually chosen from all those in the Yang Arena.

None of them were particularly outstanding, as just about everyone here was someone lucky enough to get past the preliminaries without encountering the monster known as Azmodeus.

Furthermore, of the last 10 standing, 7 of them were in the Viscera Training Large Success Stage, while the other two were in the Viscera Training Small Success Stage.

There were a few cultivators in the Altering Muscle Stage—cultivators that thought they'd win the entire thing; however, upon coming into contact with 'The Monster', all of them gave up without a fight.

Finally, the moment finally came when the Announcer gave out the matchups, and unsurprisingly, everyone who got matched up against Azmodeus forfeited the matches right then and there.

However, there was one young boy who actually had the guts to go against the monster without running away.

That boy was Yang Xiao, otherwise known as the only friend Azmodeus ever had...
