Chapter 1968


    Carney didn''t admire Fade''s cool attitude. He frowned as he was a little angry. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Chen, don''t be arrogant. When thepetition starts in the afternoon, you will regret it."


    "Additionally, my master asked me to tell you that you''d better hand Kaeran over. Otherwise, hmph!" He mentioned Camach''s threat.


    Earlias also said softly, "I went to the Lu family to see Lorenzo and Mr. Lu before the game. Master Langham told me that he''lle to visit after the game. Master Chen, please get ready."


    Even Monk Jaewoo, who had always been distant, stood up at this moment. "Amitabha, my master, Master Wisdomy, asked me to challenge you, Master Chen. If we don''t meet in the afternoonpetition, can we fight privately?" He asked.


    In the face of their threats and challenges, Fade''s face was calm. As he ate, he said lightly, "Let''s talk about it after thepetition is over!"All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Upon hearing that, Monk Jaewoo was the first to stand up and he left immediately. Carney and the rest also left afterwards.


    As they left, Joey wrinkled her nose and said with an unhappy face, "Fade, these guys are too arrogant. You must teach them a good lesson in the afternoon."


    He gently tapped her head and said with a smile, "Don''t be careless. Their strength isn''t too bad. You may not win if you fight with them." "Fade, you''re looking down on me. You don''t believe in my strength!" She raised her arm and showed her biceps with a confident expression. "Alright, I believe in you. You''re very strong and you''ll definitely win. Hurry up and eat!" He said with a smile.


    After lunch, all of the contestants rested for an hour before continuing with thepetition under everyone''s excited gaze.


    After the advanced round and the first round of knockouts in the morning, there were only 16 people left who would participate in the afternoonpetition. It could be said that these were definitely seeded contestants.


    Following the appearance of the participants, the atmosphere at the arena instantly became enthusiastic.


    There wasn''t any more time to waste. After a brief exnation, the referee immediately drew lots on the field to prepare for the next match.


    16 fighters went to the ring to subsequently draw lots. He then announced the fight list on the field.


    Joey was in front of Fade. She drew a rogue cultivator and the opponent''s strength wasn''t considered strong. Hence, people felt that she had good luck.


    Drawing lots were carried out individually, not knowing whether it was intentional or coincidental. Until that moment the top 8 fighters hadn''t met each other at all.


    Finally, it was Fade''s turn to draw the lot.


    He calmly drew the number that was tagged as 7. He looked around and discovered nopetitor. It could be said that the opponent left belonged to the remaining few people.


    The remainingpetitors were quite close to the bottom. However, Carney, who was ranked 5th from the top, was still avable.


    Soon, it was Carney''s turn to go on stage.


    He looked at Fade with a defiant look in his eyes. "You''d better pray that you don''t meet me. Otherwise, you''ll definitely lose," he whispered. Fade''s face was untroubled as he didn''t respond.


    Carney went to the stage, reached out to draw the lot, and took out his notes.


    As he lowered his head and opened it, the corner of his mouth moved as a smile appeared on his


    face.


    However, he didn''t immediately


    announce the number that he drew. Instead, he turned around and swept his gaze over the crowd. Finally, he looked at the camera and raised the paper slip in his hand. He said in a clear voice, "Number 7!"


    The camera did a close-up shot at the note. All of a sudden, the scene was filled with surprised voices as the sounds of discussion were instantly heard.


    "Number 7, Carney also got number 7. Isn''t his opponent Fade?" Someone shouted.


    "Carney is fighting against Fade. It''s going to be a good show," another said.


    "Both of them hadn''t been dealing with each other all the time. Carney just provoked Fade. It''s really as if enemies will not get together!"


    "The previous top 8 contestants finally meet. Fade, who was in 6th ce, met Carney, who was in 5th ce. Mars has finally hit Earth!" Someone else shouted.


    "Don''t you know what Fade''s ranking was? This isn''t just like Mars hitting Earth."


    Amidst the discussion, Carney couldn''t help but smile proudly. He walked down the stage and looked at Fade. "It seems that your luck isn''t good enough considering you ran into me!" He said.


    Fade faintly replied, "Perhaps it''s your luck that wasn''t good enough."


    "Er..." Upon hearing Fade''s words, Carney''s eyes suddenly became cold. He red at him with a hint of rage in his eyes.


    However, after a few seconds, the rage in his eyes disappeared. "Just wait and see!" He snorted.


    After that, he stepped away and walked together with Earlias and the others.


    After taking note of the drawing results, the rest of the contestants individually drew lots to determine their opponents. Finally, the 16 to 8 stagepetition lineup was officially settled.


    Taking martial artists such as


    Earlias, Tiger, Be, and the others for example, although their opponents weren''t weak, the final result was to almost no surprise. All these people sessfully won their matches. Additionally, they won quite easily and almost didn''t get


    hurt.


    Earlias, who ranked 1st, even defeated his opponent within three moves. It was the shortest match in history ever since the beginning of thepetition.


    Soon after that, Joey also came to the ring. She unexpectedly didn''t fiercely fight with the opponent. Instead, the crowd was surprised as she defeated the opponent in ten simple moves.


    The gambling agencies outside the arena had immediately adjusted Joey''s odds and ced her in the top 10 among the most popr contestants. It was a show of recognizing her strength.


    The matches continued one after another as the scene was quite exciting. The final result was that almost all of the people who were ranked in the top had won.


    In the 7th match, Fade was fighting against Carney. When the both of them entered the ring, the atmosphere at the scene once again became spirited.


    After all, both these people were quite famous and their rankings were also very close. Additionally, the personal grudges between the both of them made the match more exciting.


    When the referee announced the start of thepetition, the atmosphere in the arena seemed to be ignited and it became a little more heated than the previouspetition.


    Carney smiled and looked at Fade with pride in his eyes. "Fade, I''ve finally waited for this moment. Tell me, how should I teach you a lesson?" He taunted.


    Fade said faintly, "It''s hard to say who''s going to teach the lesson!"


    "You''re still so stubborn!" Carney snorted coldly. His face darkened. "Fade, you can''t interfere with the affairs of our Thousand Star


    Academy. Now, if you hand Kaeret


    over to us, there''s still room for you to turn the situation around," he said.


    All in all, it was still a matter of Kaeran. Camach was worried that Fade would leak out the information of their academy which would affect the reputation of both Thousand Star Academy and himself.


    "Of course, can you stop talking? If you want a fight, let''s do it!" Fade looked at him and said harshly.
