Chapter 240 The Teenager In Grey (Part Two)
"Did his talent reach the level nine of the Earth Degree?" Violet said in disbelief, unable to ept the
sudden turn of events.
''A cultivator whose talent is at the level eight of Earth Degree would still find it difficult to master the
legendary martial skills. If the teenager in grey could use a legendary martial skill, he definitely has a
talent worthy of the level nine of the Earth Degree. That''s the only exnation for his being able to
Turns out he is the real genius... One who has hidden his strength!'' Boyce thought.
The teenager who wore grey clothes nodded at Tom. He turned to look at Billy and said, "If you were
my opponent, you would have lost your life."
Although the teenager wasn''t a talker, he couldn''t endure bossy people like Billy and would have shown
him no mercy.
Billy was so furious that the blue veins popped out of his forehead. Despite that, he didn''t snap back for
he could tell by his tone that the teenager wanted him dead. If he uttered a word, he was afraid that the
teenager might take his life for real.
"We have twenty-five participants who can receive the second test. Now, I am going to select three
participants to take part in the finals, for the top three ranking. Violet Wang, Bowen Xiao, and Darren
Chu, get ready for the finals," the guardian announced.
"What? It''s not fair! Why can''t I join the finals?" Billy bellowed at the guardian as he jumped to his feet
abruptly.
The guardian nced at him nonchntly before saying, "Anyone who has a problem with my
arrangement can challenge the one I choose. But I must warn you that killing is a must on the field,
given such a situation. Billy, if you''d like to alter my arrangement, pleasee over here and fight your
opponent."
"Hold on. What are you saying? Killing is a must? Is this really the rule in the tests of the Ancient Void
Battlefield?" Billy asked in a low voice, feeling uneasy. He raised an objection mostly because he
wanted to let the rest know that he was powerful enough to join the finals. After all, he was a prideful
man and his reputation was everything to him. He initially thought the guardian would ignore him, but to
his surprise, the elder epted his request. Now, he felt like he bit more than he could chew.
"No, this is the rule I made," the guardian said coldly.
"Umm..." Billy was speechless. He looked as though he was just stripped naked and humiliated in front
of everyone. Despite that, he tried to weasel his way out of the situation. "Mr. Guardian, there is no
need to change the rule for me. I think you''re right; it''s best for me not to join thepetition. Thank
you all the same," he mumbled, not quite meeting the guardian''s eyes.
"Shame on you," Violet scolded with disgust at his cowardice.
Billy''s face darkened with rage. Since he was in no position to defend himself, he had to swallow his
anger and act like he was still as strong as he imed. He gave a displeased snort and then threw
Violet a re.
"You three can choose to fight. The one who leaves the field first takes the third prize. I must say,
though, that the champion will not only get the first prize, but I will also grant one of his or her wishes.
The rest who didn''t make it to the finals may now leave. And you three... you may start the fight," the
guardian said. As the rest left the stage, a golden spell restriction covered the field.
Tom had disappointment written all over his face. Although he was unhappy with the result, he admitted
that he was no match for Bowen Xiao, that young man in grey.
"Looks like there are many people who are more powerful than I. I''ve always been proud of myself
because I am a superior talent, but now I''ve realized that I have a long way to go. I failed the first test,"
Tom murmured dejectedly.
"Tom, cheer up. The teenager you fought most likely has a talent of level nine of the Earth Degree,
same as Darren. It''s not embarrassing to be defeated by such a talented person. So don''t be so upset,"
Boyceforted. He was genuinely trying to make Tom feel better.
"Darren? Are you referring to thed who took Don out in a second? Is his talent really at level nine of
the Earth Degree?"
"Yes. Have you forgotten that? Without your help, Darren couldn''t have had the chance to take the test

here," Boyce replied.
This made Tom all the more frustrated. He still remembered how effortlessly Darren had eliminated
Don. ''Yes, he could be on par with that teenager in grey, '' he thought with a heavy heart. How he
wished he was on par with them both.
"Tom, if you really want to take the second test, I will ask Darren to speak to the guardian and let you
continue the next trial," Boyce proposed in an effort to make him feel better. He was sorry to see Tom in
such low spirits. What was more, he was worried that this failure might hold him back in hister
cultivation. What if he couldn''t get over this loss? Everything he worked so hard for would just go to
waste. He didn''t want that to happen.
"Umm... Do you think Darren can win the first prize? But even if he does, I am afraid he will not waste
such a good chance on me," Tom responded with a hesitant expression. Despite his reservations and
doubts, Boyce''s words gave him a dash of hope. ''This first trial tested one''s talent. I''m sure the
qualified participants will restore their cultivation base in the next test. If I had the chance to continue
the test, I believe that I might be able to make it to the eleventh test, '' Tom thought.
"Darren is a good person. If I speak for you, he might agree to help you. I hope he can win the game,"
Boyce reassured him with a smile.
"Well, then, thank you," Tom said, wishing Darren could take the first prize. His gaze shifted to the field.
Boyce nodded and focused his gaze on the stage, too.
The fight had begun. The three on the stage had started releasing their tremendous aura, which made
the rest hold their breaths and tense up.
Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the three. The battle, one that everyone would remember for a long
time, was about to break out.
