Kritos stare at Martis whose real battle power and cultivation were the complete opposite to his stats.

"Something is wrong!"

Kritos intuition and instinct were telling him to stay away from this boy. Not only but he can sense the overwhelming aura emitting from his body.

A sudden fear struck Kritos' mentality, his body sweating upon noticing the glare of Martis.

It was like a Demon lord gazing at him. 

"Is it fear? No, I can't be scared of this arrogant bastard!"

Kritos sensed the same feeling when he encountered the horned demon two years ago in the village.

An existence who looked down at him and his powers.

"No! No! I will not back down this time!" Kritos internally thought to himself.

In anger or downfall of his audacity, Kritos was just about to dash towards Martis. However, after a second, Martis vanishes from his spot with his little sister.

Kritos couldn't perceive Martis or his sister's presence, it was like they completely disappeared from the Stadium.

"Space wrap!" Kritos murmur in a low voice.

On the other hand, the crowd becomes noisy after seeing the event which happened in a few seconds. They chattered about the reason for the instant disappearance of Martis.

The faces of all three judges were blanked, they didn't understand what had happened.

"Kenny, your grandson is disrespected judges and the Royal family. He violated the rules and discerned them as a normal thing. We can't tolerate this misbehavior." Sol Augusta said to the clan head of the Vishwa clan.

In response, Kenny apologizes to them for his insolence and quickly moves towards the princess.

He was afraid that the princess of Star Kingdom would be furious due to the action of his bastard grandson.

So, he doesn't waste any time and arrives in front of the third judge, Freya.

"Princess, I beg forgiveness for the insolence of my grandson. He was very affectionate to his sister after the death of his mother and father. Please, forgive his misstep."

For a second, Freya glanced at the place where Sasha was sitting and then Freya waves her hand saying this should not happen again or the consequence will be bad.

After watching the old man departing to his position, Freya moved his head and looked at the space where Martis was standing a few minutes ago.

"Is it bizarre space law?"

"Impossible, no one can use space law without stepping on Archmage or Martial domain Realm. It must be a high-grade technique or skill. Beside, no one in the Kingdom could use space law." Frey thought to herself

10 minutes had passed after the disappearance of Martis and judges decided to continue the challenger league.

As Manvi disappeared with his brother, judges decided that it was equivalent to surrendering the match. Hence, one point was added to the Kritos table which places him in the top 10.

After a few matches, the top 10 was decided for this year's Challenger League.

Finally, the final matches will start after the break of 30 minutes.

Kritos was in 4th position and if he wanted to enter the top 3, he would have to challenge one person from 1st to 3rd position.

The winner will replace the position with the loser if the loser is ranked higher than him.

If the loser is ranked lower than him then the winner will maintain his position.

And the losers would get another chance to challenge someone.

There will be 20 minutes of rest for the two challengers after their match.

Kritos preferred to directly challenge the top-ranker, Clara Augusta. However, he has to wait for his turn.

Lower the position, highest the priority.

So, Kritos could only challenge anyone after the lower-ranked turns were over.

Time passed and no one challenged Kritos for his position.

Why would they? Kritos was just ranked 4th, they wouldn't get any benefit by challenging him.

Hence most of the people challenged only the top 3 people or wasted their chance.

Out of all challenges, only one person wins the match. He was from the Vishwa clan, Vishwa Tigreal.

After winning the battle, he replaced the 2nd Ranked person. 

Currently, Clara Augusta holds the first position and till now, no one Challenges her.

Vishwa Tigreal was in the 2nd position and Radiant in the 3rd position.

Finally, after waiting for hours, it was Kritos turn.

Kritos was fully prepared to fight with a foundation realm expert. He placed his bow to his left shoulder.

Only by using archery skills and all his skills, Kritos could win against her.

Solely with Shadow form, he can't defeat her.

Although Shadow form will make him invisible against Foundation Realm, it doesn't imply that he could break the defense of a foundation Realm expert.

Besides, Clara was an expert in using wind elements. So, Kritos wanted to first exhaust her while he would use archery skills to distract her.

"Kritos Rathore, it's your turn, which position do you want to challenge?"

Without wasting any time, Kritos directly said," 1st position!"

After hearing what Kritos said.

The crowd went into an uproar.

"It can't be... Kritos's ambition is so huge! Is he actually thinking of seizing the title of challenger in the Challenger League?"

"Does he really think a mere Apprentice Realm like him can defeat a Formation Realm expert ?"

"Psh! No matter how strong the Apprentice Realm is, it will still be impossible to be a match for a Formation Realm expert. Even if it's only a first Rank Formation Realm expert who's merely initially developed its inner strength and qi storage capability, the strength they possess would be equal to 5 times of peak apprentice Realm warrior."

"Yeah, this much strength can be exerted at only the first Rank of the Formation Realm. Although this Kritos is quite strong, he won't be strong enough to defeat a Foundation Realm expert."

"He's too arrogant. Does he really think the Formation Realm experts are paper tigers?"

"Now, let Clara destroy his delusions, and let him sober up properly!"

...

Kritos and Clara's expressions did not change when they heard the discussions coming from the crowd. However, Kritos did not let his guard down. Instead, he raised it.

Even Kritos never thought that a single sentence from him would put him at the cusp of public opinion, attracting the disdain of so many people.

But he understood.

Now he could only rely on his own strength to prove himself; only then will he be able to make these people shut their mouths for good.

Challenger League champion, the challenger.

He was determined to win it!

He will use his strength to prove everything.

While Kritos was thinking the judge already announced the fight.

Both of them step into the combat arena.

Under the instructions of the judges, the two of them exchanged salutations and the duel officially began.

"Now, Start!" A judge announced 

"I hope sister Clara mercy on me in the name of elder brother Sanju," Kritos said in a low voice so that only Clara could hear his voice.

However, Clara ignored his statement completely and focus on another topic

"Your speed is quite fast, brother Kritos. I had never seen anyone possessing such a high speed in Apprentice Realm"

In response, Kritos chuckled and said," But not compared to your defense and Sword skill."

Shua!!

And then Kritos quickly dash towards her.

Kritos's gaze brightened as his body jerked, abruptly flashing backward.

Kritos transformed into a bolt of lightning and circled around Clara.

No matter whether it was Captain Mitchell, the clan heads in the high platform, or the spectators, they all couldn't help but hold their breath.

Looking at this stance, it was clear that Kritos was planning to fight by using his bow.

There was only one question on everyone's mind," Is his Archery skill reached to this level?

Clara did not hesitate as she stomped on

the ground. Her figure moved like lightning as he flew forward. When going against a long-ranged opponent, naturally, one must get near and use short-ranged attacks to deal a fatal blow.

Kritos was fast, but Clara was faster

However, In the instant she started moving, Kritos shot two arrows towards her.

!!!"

Quickly an electrical light was given off by the Violet Meteorite Sword. Clara generously fed her qi into the sword as she chopped at the two arrows.

"Bang! Bang!

She accurately chopped down thrice, hitting each arrow. The arrows instantly disintegrated into fragments.

Besides, Clara's movements

did not slow as she rushed at Kritos.

Kritos calmly drew his bow and

continuously fired out arrows. His footsteps had a strange pace to them; it was as though Kritos was taking a stroll. It felt incredibly free and at ease.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Clara chopped down on numerous arrows along the way, exhausting a large amount of Qi. After a tremendous amount of effort, she finally arrived where Kritos was initially standing. However, she discovered that his distance from Kritos was unchanged; he was still as far away as when they began.

"What trick he is using!" Clara internally thought to herself.

She had watched the Kritos matches but she never saw him using a bow. She has merely heard, he can use a bow. But never thought his understanding of archery reached this level.

Before the match, She thought she had to only worry about his sudden disappearance trick. But now she understands, she was wrong.
