BXBX NOVEL 221 Chapter 221
“Did you think that Aeon is a nobody? Aeon and a hundred candidates who are personally trained by me were on another level.”
“They have trained brutally until their hands weren’t able to lift off the sword.”
“These people may not have good potential but their will to overcome the adversities is second to none.”
“Ben could have also defeated Harry but due to being involved in other matters, he hadn’t undergone as strict training as them,” Alex explained.
“Moreover, Harry is too conceited. He believes in talent and potential, more than hard work. It could be a good lesson for him.” Christina spoke.
“Yeah, you are also right about that. After staying at Zenith and meeting all kinds of geniuses, he thinks that people with potential and talent can reach the top while others would stay at the bottom.”
“Fool!” Alex snorted after all he was the peak example of hard work. There had been many candidates like him who were lucky enough to enter Goddess sanctum and even Goddess of War personally trained them but only a handful of them were able to bear it even though they have greater talent.
The only blessing Alex had was his more robust soul and his mental strength was more than theirs due to remembering his previous lives.
As Alex was in deep thought, a sudden announcement snapped him out of his thoughts.
“Due to an urgent situation, the next battle would be between Transcendent rank groups.”
“And after that, the Epic group will be held.”
“And all the participants will fight in the battle royal.”
“It was the order of the higher-ups so that they could make the match more exciting.”
A loud announcement echoed in the place.
“Why the sudden change?”
“This is the first time I have heard something like this.”
“What about betting?”
The spectators and hardcore gamblers started to grumble and shouted with a wronged expression.
A single battle meant the chance to bet and earn decreased.
As they tried to protest, Alex who was startled by the sudden announcement suddenly saw Alice returning and sitting beside Catherine with a solemn expression.
“Alice, where is Riya?”
“Huhh!Bis Sis is buying dresses. I mean she is shopping.”
Alex squinted his eyes and felt as if something was wrong.
‘You are saying that my wife whom I haven’t seen wearing clothes of another colour except black is shopping. Are you kidding me?’Alex didn’t voice out his thoughts as the participants entered and instead of 12, there were 13.
Alex started to scan the participants but his eyes were struck by a lady wearing a black battle suit with a huge great sword on her back.
Alex rubbed his eyes a few times.
‘System, is my eyes are malfunctioning. I have not activated my eyes of truth but why do my eyes see her as Riya?’
[Host, don’t you think that it would be weird if you can’t even identify your wife after seeing her every nook and cranny and remembering it thoroughly.]
‘Dogshit system!’ Alex cursed and stared at Alice with a smile.
Alice, who felt a cold gaze, turned her gaze away.
“My cute little sister Alice, I think we should have a pleasant talk later.”
Alice just nodded her head like a robot while sweating profusely.
‘Riya why did you enter without telling me? And what is this great sword you are carrying on your back?’
Alex had just seen Riya using a sword to imitate him just to stay in touch but Alex didn’t know whether Riya can fight with it.
Since his wife had participated in it as a good husband he should support her.
Riya received Alex’s gaze who smiled a little and giving thumbs up, he sent a small flying kiss.
Riya blushed a little.
When Riya talked with Ken, she thought about the idea and asked him to use his authority.
She had asked Ken to change the scenarios into battle royal so that everything would be over quickly.
Moreover, with the sudden change in order, Alex wouldn’t be able to enter here.
Knowing him, he would have already devised a plan to enter the round so Riya decided to give him a surprise.
Meanwhile, Alex withdrew his gaze from Riya and scanned the others.
However!
This time he saw something, which was even too much for him to take in.
“Holy Shit!” Alex blurted out and almost stood up from his seat.
Name:Albert Haskell
Rank:Transcendent
Class:Swordsmanship
Talent:Able to see through the disguise
Born with Eyes of Discerning
Potential:Superior
“Eyes of Discerning!”
The eyes of the Discerning were similar to his all-seeing eyes or Eyes of Truth which could discern one’s character and can see through all illusions and disguises.
Though they couldn’t see the individual information like their name and all their data, the power to see through the concealment and illusions is already good enough.
But more than that this bastard had superior potential.
Except for Riya and Christina, this guy is the third person he had seen to have this kind of potential.
“Alice, did you know something about Haskell?” Alex asked.
Alice tried to search in her memories but she wasn’t able to remember anything. She felt as if she had heard the name but she wasn’t able to recall it.
“Alex, I seem to know about the Haskells,” Christina spoke.
“They are also fallen noble families like mine.”
“Why did you want to know about them?” Christina asked.
Alex’s expression turned solemn as he looked at the guy and said”We might be seeing a person who could become a legend in the upcoming future.”
The result of the battle seemed to have already been decided. Alex could already guess that if Riya and that Albert guy collided with their true strengths, the other cannon fodder will just be blown away worthlessly.
The thirteen people stood in a circle covering the entire ground and as soon the signal for the fight was given, all of them dashed toward one another marking their opponents.
BOOM!BAAM!BANG!BOOM!
Miserable squeaks and squeals along with the loud cheers of the audience, clashed with each other.
