Chapter 301: Awe


    The surrounding crowd is now in silence. There is no roaring cheers or rowdy disy of celebration.


    Only silence


    The crowd has begun calming down while trying to make sense of the scene they have just seen a couple of seconds ago


    Even though they have witness it with their own eyes, there are still in disbelief. Everyone is just waiting for Batrisya to announce the winner.


    Batrisya also couldn''t believe what just happen. It is too unbelievable, and too unexpected of a victory


    All the previous ims, the boast all makes sense now.


    Even the crowd now found themselves agreeing with that young lord words. He is not boasting but merely being confident in one own martial path.


    Some of the people in the crowd are thinking of how to make their rtion with this sudden appearance of such a dark horse, a capable martial arts expert that emerge in thispetition.


    Batrisya is thinking to herself. She did hear from Liao Bao, how powerful and unfathomable Arial Vermont of Arrandy from his mouth, but she never thought even that description was an underestimation.


    This level of power and his attainment in martial arts is probably a bit higher than even her.


    After all, she once fights Shu Ren Gui, and they fought to a standstill, with no one the more superior but Arial Vermont had defeated Shu Rengui with one hand behind his back


    That alone is a huge handicap.


    It seems Batrisya have made a wrong judgment about the young lord from Arrandy. He is a martial arts expert that should never be underestimated she mused.


    And with it some fear crept inside her heart mixed with awe.


    Arial Vermont is just a neen-year-old man but he had already possessed such profound control over his internal energy and his moves and technique all seem domineering and lethal.


    It would not be an exaggeration to say even the Four Immortals in their youth would pale inparison.


    She thought to herself


    Will she see a legend be born in this Meet?


    ''Announce it'' some of the people in the crowd whispers make its way to her ears.


    Batrisya is woken up from her daze and began once again gainingposure. Batrisya look at both participants and then she announces.


    ''The winner of this battle is Arial Vermont from All Conquering Sect on the grounds he has rendered his opponent unconscious.''


    The crowd is still ck jawed, mostly junior from all the schools that managed toe here, seeing what happen in front of them.


    ''How could he-''


    ''This is just absurd!''


    But all of them said it in a whisper, fearing to make fun of the Dragon


    Arial release his grip on Ren Gui hand and Batrisya came into the arena as some of the Maidens of the Serpent can be seen ring at Arial.


    Arial chuckle a little. Arial remember some of them. They are the maidens that he attacked during his time at Linzi Temple.


    At that time, he just had shouted a warning and these maiden could not just let bygones be bygones.


    He means no harm to the Maidens at the time but it is not like he could exin it to the Maidens right now and Arial really doesn''t care what the Maidens think of him.


    Then Arial look at Batrisya.


    Even though she is the direct disciple of the Western Serpent, it seems she did not look at him like the other way the other Maidens of the Serpent look at him


    Of course, during that event in Linzi temple, Batrisya is not there.


    If she was there, maybe Arial abilities will be more acknowledged but Arial at that time only sh with the maidens in the Temple.


    Even though his strength is acknowledged his name is not so widespread in the terms of martial arts.


    And even though he is acknowledged in strength but what of it? He just defeats the Maidens and not the disciple.


    It is not that shocking to be considered newsworthy news in the Martial Art world


    But defeating Ren Gui, the Senior Disciple of the Northern Badger? That will surely spread his name. It is not everyday someone defeats one of the disciples of the Four Immortals.


    The gawking audiences have no choice but to acknowledge him as an expert in martial art even though he did not even show many techniques.


    Arial look at the Maidens as they rub some ointment on Ren Gui wrist and bruises. One of the Maidens still res menacingly at Arial.


    The Maidens still remembers. The Maiden took Ren Gui slowly weakening body and flew him away from the arena.


    Arial knows they act as healer in thispetition. Of course if Arial decide to end Shu Ren Gui just then, the Maidens would not show themselves.


    In a way, the death or life of the loser belongs to the victor. Cruel but for the people in the martial art world it is the norm.


    Thew is, the strong live, the weak die. This is why not all people dare roam the martial art world.


    Arial may be confident of his strength, but even he is not stupid enough to intentionally offense Northern Badger.


    Overconfident of one owns strength is just a step away from hubris. The world is vast. Better make friends then enemies.


    The audience wanted to say their congrattion. And some of the neutral martial artist even yelled.


    ''Congrattion, Lord Arial!''


    ''That was marvelous!''


    ''I respect you!''


    Some of the people in crowd pped.


    Some of them shut their mouth looking solemn considering there is another strongpetitor in thispetition. The Elder of the martial arts sect on the other hand analyze Arial and his technique in their minds.


    Yet they could not make sense of it. How could it be so wless? How could it look simr to the palm technique of their school but at the same time, also different?


    They think in their hearts. And the more they think, the more they frowned.


    Arial ignoring the spectacles jumped down from the arena and wait for Batrisya to announce the rules of the next battle.


    Batrisya raise up her left hand and the area began quieten down. She is about to announce the result.


    ''First, let me announce the result of the battle in the Stone Peak'' she said.


    ''Sun Moon Sect Xiao De, fight with Blinding Sword Sect, True de Louis.'' The Sun Moon Sect cheered.


    ''Sun moon sect wins.'' Another cheer.


    ''Yilin match against Taojing. Yilin wins. Two ded Sect fights House of Knives. Two ded sect wins.'' Two ded Sect only nodded and grins.


    ''Shadow Skulker fight with Limitless de sect. Shadow Skulker won. Ermeishan fighting Five Fingers Peak School. Ermeishan won. Wuhao fight Lishan. Lishan won. All Conquering Sect fights Nanshan Sect. All Conquering won. Congrattions to all the winner. All of you can ascend to Waterfall Peak. There is a cottage there for the amodation of the participants and their schools. For the ones who are defeated you are wee to enjoy the show or return home. Whichever way is fine. I will ascend first to announce the winner so my teacher will make the decision regarding the next battle.''


    With a bow, she leapt upwards to the top go to her teacher.


    Arial grins.


    Ignoring the others, he returns to his cave as the people in the arena make way for him and some people shouting in his back talking about thest bet.


    He returns to his cave, take his knapsack, making sure his supplies are all there. After confirming nothing is amiss, Arial get out of his cave and then he looked upwards.


    He smiles and then he jumped on the branches and steep cliff and then he began running upwards to reach the next peak, the Waterfall Peak.
