The Challenger League continued.
Now, most of the matches competed for the top 10. Many youths are eliminated from the tournament after their point reached -10.
Kritos glanced at Vishwa Manvi who was standing closely with Vishwa Mayank.
Kritos knows if his next fight was matched with Manvi then there would be a chance she quickly forfeits the fight at the beginning.
After learning Kritos strength, Manvi is concerned about his strength. She is not someone who will mindlessly fight with a stronger enemy.
In response to Kritos gaze, Manvi simply ignores him. Kritos could see a hint of fear in her eyes.
After some matches, the Judge announced the next match.
"Vishwa Manvi, Kritos Rathore!"
A mysterious smile emerges on Kritos face, "As expected!"
On the other hand, Manvi shook her head and walked to combat arena 1.
'Fu*k, how he breakthrough to Rank 9 of Apprentice Realm in 2 months. He must be using some rare treasure. Thinking about how I didn't stand a single chance against this bastard makes me extremely irritated!' Manvi thought to herself.
Manvi understands she couldn't easily forfeit the match at the beginning or she would become a joke in Rewa city.
She has to withstand the fight for some minute and then only she could have a reason to surrender the match.
Manvi was prepared to use all his skill to buy some time and withstand the fight for some minutes.
'If I will solely use my qi to protect my body and defensive skill to resist these bastard attacks then there would be no chance he could injure me in some minutes.' Manvi made a plan
She was herself made a broken through to Rank 9 Apprentice warrior yesterday but Manvi understands she was not a match for Kritos.
What a joke, if Kritos can easily defeat the top genius of her clan then she doesn't stand a single chance against him.
Presently, Kritos was publicly acknowledged as the number one figure in the Rewa city under the Foundation Realm.
As she daringly walked inside the combat arena. A smile emerged on Sanju's face who was standing on the high stage of the stadium.
'Oh, finally she's making her move,' Kritos stared at Manvi with an aloof expression while internally he was smiling.
Chatter! Chatter! Chatter!
The surroundings became noisy as everyone heard that. They had not expected Manvi to enter the arena but this was a battle they wanted to see.
Every one of them had heard about how Manvi almost killed Kritos a few months ago.
Some intelligent people already guessed the reason for Kritos forfeit in his previous match when he could easily win the battle and directly placed himself into the top 10 without fighting another match.
So, all of them are waiting for the fight between Kritos and Manvi. Most of the people already started betting on the result of the battle.
Some of the people were on the side that Manvi would forfeit the match without fighting with Kritos. Others were thinking that she would maintain her reputation and fight with all her strength.
They all wanted to see with their own eyes what will happen next.
One minute later Kritis was standing in the combat arena. In front of him was Manvi. They were positioned about twenty feet away from one another.
Kritos glared at Manvi intensely with a creepy smile on his face while Manvi ignored his gaze.
The judge asked if both of them were ready which they reacted to by nodding.
"Let the fight begin," Judge said with an authoritative tone.
To their surprise, Kritos's suddenly accelerated to an insane speed that they couldn't follow.
'Although I can't seriously injure her but I can take revenge.' Kritos said internally as he dashed out.
He used his speed after dashing out and was about to make contact with the huge crystal boulder which was moving towards him in a kind of slow motion.
This was one of the uses of her innate trait of Manvi.
The bolder was as wide as the stage and the speed didn't slow down as it traveled towards Kritos leaving him with no place to run to.
However, due to the sudden speed of Kritos. Manvi couldn't effortlessly control the bolder.
With his Eagle vision, Kritos sensed a weak zone and dashed towards the crystal boulder.
Normally it would be impossible to dodge it but dashing straight into it was also no different from suicide. However, compiled with Eagle Vision and Instant mastery talent, Kritos could interpret the weakest area in the crystal boulder.
Kritos raised his palm causing the milky glow to coat his entire right palm before slicing down towards the large boulder in front of him.
A white line of energy surged out of Kritos's palm traveling forward along with his descending palm.
Before Kritos's palm collided with the boulder, the white line was already cutting through the boulder still descending along with Kritos's palm.
Thud!!
The crystal boulder was cleanly severed in two causing one half to move towards the left and the other to move towards the right.
Gasp!
The crowd gasped upon witnessing the incredible scene but Kritos didn't stop moving.
Swoooshhh!
Kritos activated Shadow form so that Manvi would be unaware of his next attack. He couldn't give her enough time or she would forfeit the match when she saw Kritos intention.
Abruptly no one could see Kritos after the crystal boulder split in half.
He arrived in front of her in an instant and swung out his left arm towards her face.
Manvi was still dumbfounded by the sudden feat he performed so she was still looking shocked. She could now follow Kritos's normal speed with her eyes but before she could react physically his palm was already in front of her face.
Pah!
A crisp slap reverberated across the place.
Manvi staggered towards the side after receiving the stinging slap on her right cheek.
She could feel the hot burn which not only caused her cheeks to redden with the blood but also made her sight blurry due to the heaviness.
Before she could stabilize herself Kritos's right hand was headed for her left cheek.
Pah!
Another crisp slap rang out again.
"Whhaaa...?" The crowd couldn't believe what they were seeing and before they could scream out in shock more slaps continued to echo in the vicinity.
Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!
Kritos's hands didn't stop moving as his slaps landed on her cheeks alternatively.
Manvi's cheeks were already bloodied and swollen yet Kritos didn't stop.
She tried to forfeit the match by moving her hand up but Kritos didn't give her any chance.
Kritos was already on his way to slap her more. His mind wasn't satisfied with only 15 or 16 slaps. He decided to slap her up to his heart content.
However, when he was going to slap her more. Unexpectedly, the space distorted.
Wooohhh!
A hand moved from the space and grabbed Kritos hand in a midway.
"Enough!"
Kritos was shocked due to the sudden appearance of someone in the middle of a fight.
He tried to remove her hand from the grip of an unknown person.
Nonetheless, he failed.
"Move away brat or you will regret it!" There was a threat in his voice.
This unexpected event was so sudden that no one saw anything. Even Captain Mitchell and Freya were no exception.
Kritos struggled to move away from the unknown person.
The unknown person took off his hand from his grip and gave Kritos a chance to back off.
"Martis!"
The whole crowd was startled after seeing the face of the unknown person.
Chirppp!! Chirrpp!!
They couldn't help but talk between them. Martis had openly broken the rules of the Challenger league in front of the princess and Captain Mitchell.
"Hey, you had seen how he reached there in an instant?"
"Something is strange, Martis's brown eyes are presently dark black. Even the aura he emits from his body is odd."
"Wasn't Martis the previous year's challenger league, Champion!"
"Hmm! He had destroyed all the participants without breaking a sweat. He was the real overlord of the arena"
Kritos stares closely at his face, he now realizes this person was Manvi's big brother, Vishwa Martis.
Martis checked the condition of his little sister and then furiously glanced at Kritos.
Nonetheless, he picks up her body and begins moving outside the combat arena.
"Stop!"
Vishwa Martis glanced at the source of the sound. The voice came from an old Judge.
The old judge who has a white beard continued," Martis, you dare to break the rules of Challenger league in front of everyone. Did you have no respect for us?"
Martis glared at the judge who spoke and then moved his head towards his little sister who was half-conscious.
He ignored the judge and looked back," Kritos, if anything serious happened to my sister. I would have killed you. Stay away from her."
Suddenly, after saying Martis vanished from his spot.
Kritos was shocked but it wasn't because of the threat.
The Stats he saw after using greater inspection was something he never expected.
'Who he really is?"
