Clash of the Titans
763 Words
Seeing that Jaden had blown away Adam with just one punch, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar. Those who had known Jaden from before, had their mouths wide open, as they were clearly unable to believe that he had made such astounding progress in just a few months. This guy was not a genius, no he was a monster. A Cultivation and Martial Art monster who defies common sense.
Clark was likewise stunned by the strength that Jaden had displayed. A short period later, he finally hastily opened his mouth and announced the results.
“Jaden is the victor!”
The Clan Coliseum abruptly exploded into applause and cheers as they finally understood that Jaden had reached this stage unscathed not through luck, but by the genuine strength he possessed.
Jaden watched the roaring crowd from his spot on the stone platform, as a small smile formed on his face. He leapt off the stone platform and extended a hand to Adam: “Are you alright?”
“Perfect Stage Earth Titan Fist and Qi Condensing Realm 9th Stage. My defeat is justified.” Darren looked at Jaden with a smile also on his face. He continued: “If there is ever an opportunity, I would like to spar with you again.”
Finishing his words, Adam did not linger and instead turned to leave.
Gazing at Adam’s back, Jaden also smiled. Towards him, he had quite a favorable impression. If there was a chance in the future, perhaps they could get to know each other better.
However, before that, he still had to finish Darren off, or else he would continue to harass Mera……
Jaden turned his head and cast his gaze toward Darren’s position, only to see that the latter was also looking back at him with faint disdain in his expression.
********
Young Master, that was brilliant!”
As Jaden was walking back to his seat, Mera excitedly exclaimed while she stuck her tiny thumbs out in a thumbs up.
“You little brat, you’ve hidden it well.” William said, with a smile on his face. Nonetheless, William did not scold his son as he was simply too astonished by Jaden’s current strength.
Furthermore, Jaden’s stellar performance today had caused William’s face to dazzle with happiness. The excitement in his heart was even greater than the day where he became the Clan Head.
“Hehe”
Jaden humbly scratched his head as he chuckled. When he realized that William was not going to pursue this matter further, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After Jaden’s duel ended, the competition resumed. The top ten contestants were all fairly famous members among the younger generation in the Shiba Clan. In fact, most of them were at Qi Condensing Realm 5th Stage or above. Therefore, their duels were naturally quite exciting to watch, thus from time to time, the crowd would burst into cheers.
Five rounds were quickly over. As predicted, Tina and Darren were able to easily secure their victory thanks to their overwhelming strength. Besides them, Jaden and two other outstanding youths in the Shiba Clan made it through to the final five.
As the final five were announced, the atmosphere in the arena heated up. Everyone knew that the following matches were the true highlights of the competition.
After drawing lots, one lucky person managed to draw the empty lot. This time, Jaden’s opponent was a young man named Larc Shiba. He was reportedly at Qi Condensing Realm 6th Stage, though this did not pose much of a threat to Jaden.
The two of them swiftly proceeded to their fight after drawing lots and the end result was hardly surprising. Jaden’s Earth Titan Fist forcibly pushed Larc off the stone platform, even though the latter utilized his full strength to resist.
Thus , Jaden easily advanced to the final three.
Nothing special happened in this duel. Therefore, after it ended, the crowd instantly turned their attention towards the upcoming duel.
The next matchup piqued everyone’s interest, even Jaden was interested. On account of the fact that it was Tina against Darren.
The two of them were considered as the most elite among the younger generation in the Shiba Clan. In fact, most people predicted that either one of them would win this Annual Clan Assessment.
However, the two of them were to now clash unexpectedly before the final round, this exchange would be exciting indeed.
