Jaden did not meet any problematic opponents in the first round, thus after Howard Shiba, Jaden once again won the match. Advancing to the top ten with nothing to write home about. Due to his easy victories in both matches, Jaden did not reveal his excessively astonishing strength, thus many people believed that good luck was all there was to Jaden.
In contrast to Jaden’s matches, Darren and Tina had become the main stars in the training chambers. From start to end, the two had beaten their opponents in a single move. These overwhelming victories made everyone understand that the strength that these two possessed had by far exceeded the rest of the younger generation of the Shiba Clan.
At the top floor of the Colosseum, the Crown Prince and William Shiba were sitting while watching all the matches commencing on the arena. Their faces clearly show that they were quite pleased with the progress of the younger generation.
“I’m afraid that Darren has really attained Qi Condensing Realm 7th Stage……” Seated in the audience, Jaden concluded while nodding after seeing how easily Darren had fared in both of his matches.
At these words, concern surfaced on Mera’s tiny face. She knew that Marcus and Darren were responsible for the fall of Jayden from the Cliff. She knew that they would cause problems for Jaden no matter what happened.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
Seeing the worry on Mera’s tiny face, Jaden smiled as he lightly patted her arm to console her.
“En.” Mera slightly inclined her head. A while later, she asked: “Who do you think you will face next, Young Master? If you win the next match, you will advance to the top five……”
Jaden grinned though he did not really care. His current strength was more than enough to face any of the younger generation in the Shiba Clan.
“Let the next round of the competition begin.”
"Jaden Shiba"
Clark’s eyes turned to gaze at Jaden before indicating the big stone platform in the middle. Because they had already reached the selection of the top ten, no matter what, it would be more exciting than the previous round. Thus there were no longer five matches occurring simultaneously. Instead, competition would go match by match, allowing the audience absolute clarity.
At Clark’s voice, Jaden lightly sighed before quickly walking towards the stone platform.
“Young Master Jaden, you can do it.”
Behind him, Mera waved her tiny fists in the air while aiding him with a rallying cry of support.
Within the arena, several other gazes also turned towards Jaden, a hint of curiosity and expectation in their eyes. Although Jaden’s reputation in the Shiba Clan was incomparable to the brilliance of Tina and Darren, his father was after all once the most talented in the whole Shiba Clan and now the current Clan Head of Shiba Clan. As they thought back to the past Annual Clan Assessment, they recalled that William had effortlessly been crowned number one. Exactly how much of that capability will his son show in today’s competition?
From the VIP booth, William, The Crown Prince, Victor Shiba and the rest also locked their eyes onto Jaden. A similar curiosity in their hearts.
Under the attentive watch of the crowd, Jaden walked up the stone platform. When he reached his spot, Clark looked to the competition list in his hands as his brows slightly furrowed. After a little hesitation, he read out the second name: “Adam Shiba.”
Hearing this name, a small uproar emerged in the training chambers. Some of the younger generation of the Shiba Clan turned to look at Jaden with sympathy.
Jaden was also stunned by this name, evidently somewhat astonished at the thorny problem his opponent will be.
Like Tina and Darren, Adam was considered as one of the elite among the younger generation of the Shiba Clan. Both parents were from the Shiba Clan but had died in a beast tide. Thus he had become antisocial since a young age, yet he was quite gifted. It was heard that two months ago, he had condensed a Qi pool in his body, becoming the third one, after Tina and Darren, to reach Qi Condensing Realm 6th Stage among the younger generation of the Shiba Clan.
This opponent was going to be somewhat troublesome.
Jaden licked his lips as a fire gradually burned in his eyes. This was exactly the kind of opponent he needed!
