Chapter 1040: CHAPTER 1009 TOURNAMENT ||

After Blitzerg was forced to sign up, he looked at his good friend with resentment, Shadowslash felt his back burning, knowing that he had to explain his plan, he could only sigh and explain.

“Blitz, after training you, I have realised something, you have a hidden potential residing deep within you.” Blitzerg actually did not believe him, he had spent his entire life being called the weakest young master of his generation.

Shadowslash could see through this “See! This is exactly the reason why I wanted you to join the tournament!”

Blitzerg was confused, he asked “What do you mean? You just pointed at all of me, are you saying that I need to change?”

Shadowslash slaps his face and explains once more “You do not have any confidence in yourself, I am going to train you like hell during this little amount of time, only by winning against Prodigy of your generation would you be able to gain confidence in yourself.”

He then added “The one holding back your potential is actually the Samus Family, they do not have any technique that is perfectly suited for your physique.”

This was a first for Blitzerg, he could not help but start believing his friend “Big bro, do I really have that kind of potential that you are saying?”

.....

Shadowslash nodded “Yes, I also found the perfect technique for you, it is on your mother’s side, after modifying it a little bit, I am confident that unless you meet the monstrous geniuses in the tournament, you would not lose.”

The two of them then return to the base of the Blazing Red Group, there, together with Sharlene, Shadowslash taught the participants of the Samus Family.

The training was truly hell for those that participated but the reward is also worth it, Sharlene and those that still have not any soul beasts were given a copy of the fox bloodline of Shadowslash.

Since he is an origin beast, he could grant a blessing to other beings but with the help of this universe’s law, he managed to create multiple clones of his fox bloodline.

He actually gave two to Sharlene, his dragon and fox bloodline, after receiving his bloodline her potential has skyrocketed.

She became the envy of all the younger generation of the Samus Family but also because of this, Shadowslash’s situation became more complicated, he could actually acquire soul beasts that have near unlimited potential.

Also, the Blazing Lion is incomparable compared to the Solar Dragon beast soul that he had given to Sharlene, just its presence made even the higher ranking Blazing Lions tremble in fear.

The past few months pass by, finally after four months, the tournament finally starts, the Samus Family have hidden the training that Shadowslash directed, because of this, many of the spies do not have any information regarding the participants of the family.

Blitzerg looks at the people that were present in the stadium, the same place that Shadowslash earned his fame by defeating the so-called dragon slayer of this world.

The announcer started to introduce the top ten seeded players.

“There on the Ruman Family side, representing the tiger of Spatial City! Andrea the great tigress, Desmond the giant and Harold the cunning!”

“Andrea Ruman, the female genius of the Ruman Family, is considered the second coming of the female war goddess of the city, she is at Tribulation King Stage, just one level lower from her aunt the great war goddess Suixine!”

“Her soul beasts are the white tiger of the Ruman Family and the Peace Seeking Spirit Flower Queen!”

Shadowslash has heard of these two soul beasts, the white tiger is the main soul beast of the Ruman Family, he is not a bit surprised that she had obtained it.

The second one on the other hand is quite startling, the Peace Seeking Spirit Flower Queen is considered one of the rarest monsters of this solar system.

It was a monster that has incredibly low combat strength but its unique abilities are quite outstanding, its strongest trait is calming down its target.

Making any hostile enemy calm down, this is perfect for the Ruman Family as their family cultivation manual and the white tiger soul beasts are well known to make the practitioner and host go berserk.

“Desmond Ruman, the natural born warrior of the Ruman Family, his strength is twice as much as someone in his level, his soul beasts are white tiger and Diamond Bull!”

“Even though he is just at the Tribulation King Stage, his physical strength and toughness is that of the Tribulation Emperor Stage!”

‘Diamond Bull, huh, He should be the perfect opponent for Blitz.’ Shadowslash thought.

“Last but certainly not the least, the undisputed strongest Prodigy of the Ruman Family, Harold Ruman! Standing at the Tribulation Emperor Stage, he had never been defeated by any of his peers!”

The announcer continues to announce more prodigies till finally it is the Samus Family turn, after hearing the status and using his weakened divine sense, Shadowslash finally obtains a list of candidates that are to look out for.

The three strongest Ruman Family prodigies, Andrea, Desmond and Harold.

The twin of the Borgeous Family, Larry and Leroy.

The daughter of the city lord, Michelle Sheen.

The other participants would not be capable of defeating the new and improved younger generation of the Samus Family, especially five individuals.

Blitzerg, Loid, Sharlene, Garf and Xandier.

These five were the ones that he had the most expectations of, they also knew this and felt pressure.

The people were confused as to why only Xandier and Sharlene are the noticeable ones on the Samus Family.

The rest were too unknown, except for Blitzerg which is known to be the butt of the joke, the rest were too unfamiliar to them.

The announcer suddenly froze “Let me clarify this real quick.”

This stunned everyone, when the announcer returns he lets out a disappointed sigh “The last participant is someone unexpected, the authorities have decided to give him the top spot immediately.”

Instantly, everyone was in chaos, this is the first time they heard that such an event happened, this is almost like a blatant showcase of cheating and corruption.

“Everyone settle down, let me first read the information about the last participant.”

He clears his throat and describes the last participant “Shadowslash Hope, the guest elder of the Samus Family, contains two soul beasts of unknown origin, strength, capable of killing the overlord of the sky, Thunder Fury Roc with ease, estimated strength, Saint Lord.”

Instantly, the entire stadium became silent, they did not expect that such an individual would actually join the tournament.

Then one by one, everyone sigh in disappointment, Shadowslash teleported besides the announcer and took the communication device, he is now wearing his full disguise and started speaking.

“You all do not need to worry, I only wanted to participate in this event searching for something, I will be taking the tenth place, this is for certain, for the rest of the placement, do not worry, I will not involved myself.”

The announcer took out another communication device and could not help but ask “So you are only taking the last place?”

He nodded, hearing this the top prodigies heave a sigh of relief, the people besides the announcer took the communication device and suggested “You do not need to fight, in your level, you are just going to bully them, How about sitting here right besides us? Of course you need to comment about the participants from time to time, hahaha.”

Shadowslash knew that the person that is talking to him is a Saint Lord and his strength is no joke, he gladly accepted his suggestion and sat next to him.

The man then realised something and could not help but laugh, he then extended his hand and introduced himself “Loudwig Arzinia, one of the fleet commanders of the great Mecha Fleet.”

Shadowslash shook his hand and the two of them chatted with stories of their adventures and battles, they felt closer in just a matter of seconds, meanwhile, the announcer quickly reorganized himself and announced the start of the competition.

“The first match of the day is between the Borgeous Family participant Garren Borgeous and one of the top mercenary prodigies of the city, Caine the bursting flame!”

Loudwig was not interested in watching a battle of this level, he continued to exchange insight with Shadowslash joyfully.

The announcer knew that he had to break the two, his first choice to disrupt is Shadowslash, he did not know why but he felt at ease around him.

“Saint Lord Shadowslash, Who do you think would become this tournament’s champion?”

Without hesitation, Shadowslash answered “Sharlene Samus.”

The announcer was stunned so did the audience that heard his answer, Loudwig laughs and said “According to the information I have received, Sharlene is your lover, aren’t you too biased because of your relationship?”

Shadowslash chuckled and said “Just watch, she would definitely surprise all of you.”
