“Greetings, Elder William!” The referee bowed respectfully upon seeing the elder.
“Yes,” the elder named William Ward nodded slightly and then looked at the black-robed elder.
“Owen Hatfield, why are you here in Akabuchi City instead of staying with your Holy Ghost Tribe?”
Hearing his words, the surrounding people finally understood the origins of these individuals.
“William Ward, long time no see,” Owen Hatfield responded calmly. “Our young master heard that your Akabuchi Prodigy List is being updated these days, so we came to take a look and spar with your talented geniuses. You don’t mind, do you?”
“If you want to spar, arrange another time,” William Ward frowned slightly.
“What, are you afraid that your geniuses on the Prodigy List can’t match our young master and will embarrass you?” Owen Hatfield smiled faintly.
“What exactly do you want?” William Ward frowned again.
“I already said, our young master wants to spar with your talented geniuses,” Owen Hatfield shrugged. “Of course, if your Akabuchi Star Palace is afraid of losing face, then forget it.”
“If you want to spar, I’ll accompany you!” Walter Thornton stepped forward.
“Walter Thornton, stand down!” William Ward looked at Walter Thornton and spoke.
“Elder William, he came here specifically to challenge our talented geniuses. If we don’t accept, it will make us look petty,” Walter Thornton replied.
“A ninth-rank Otherworldly Realm cultivator is too weak!” The white-robed man named Kingsley Hatfield glanced at Walter Thornton. “You’re not qualified to make me take action!”
“Arrogant!” Walter Thornton said coldly. “Let me see what makes you so confident!”
As he spoke, he flashed forward and formed a seal with his hand, striking towards Kingsley Hatfield.
“Overestimating yourself!”
Facing Walter Thornton’s full strength, Kingsley Hatfield didn’t move an inch. He raised his hand and met the attack head-on.
With a muffled sound, a figure flew out like a broken kite, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
It was Walter Thornton!
In just one move, his combat strength was halved. He fell to the ground and spat out another mouthful of blood, his breath extremely weak.
Seeing this scene, exclamations arose from the crowd.
A ninth-rank Otherworldly Realm cultivator like Walter Thornton was severely injured with just a casual move from the opponent?!
“Master Walter!” Five or six people rushed from the audience towards Walter Thornton.
“The strength of those ranked high on the Prodigy List is just this? It seems your Akabuchi Star Palace’s luck is running out!” Kingsley Hatfield looked at William Ward and spoke calmly.
Hearing this, most of the talented geniuses on the stage showed expressions of anger.
However, none of them dared to speak up. They knew very well that if even Walter Thornton couldn’t withstand a single move from the opponent, they would only be asking for trouble if they stepped forward.
So, everyone looked towards Gerardo Wooler.
In their hearts, only Gerardo Wooler had a chance to fight the opponent.
But Gerardo Wooler remained indifferent as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
“I heard that your Akabuchi Star Palace’s princess is a once-in-a-millennium genius. She’s already in the mid-to-late stages of the Entering Dao Realm at a young age. Could I spar with her?” Kingsley Hatfield looked at William Ward and asked.
“Next time,” William Ward glanced at him. “The princess is in seclusion.”
“What a coincidence?” Kingsley Hatfield’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took two steps closer to Harleen and her companions.
“If I’m not mistaken, you two should be the star geniuses from Canyon View Institute recently?”
“Do you have something to say?” Casey stepped forward and asked.
“Are you talking to me?” Kingsley Hatfield glanced at Casey.
“If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost!” Casey replied.
“Such insolence! Let me teach you a lesson!” Before Casey finished speaking, an eighth-rank Entering Dao Realm elder beside Kingsley Hatfield raised his hand and struck.
“This is Akabuchi City; you can’t act recklessly!” The referee nearby said sternly and raised his hand to counter the attack.
With a muffled sound, both attacks exploded simultaneously, pushing back several talented geniuses by several steps.
“I’m sorry to inform you that you’ve made me unhappy, and the consequences are severe!” Kingsley Hatfield continued to look at Casey.
“Idiot!” Casey responded. “You should worry about whether you’ll leave here alive!”
“Hahaha…” Kingsley Hatfield laughed loudly.
After finally stopping his laughter, he said, “You’re in for some trouble today!”
He then looked at Harleen and Ivy.
“I’ve heard that you two are also once-in-a-millennium geniuses. Would you be interested in sparring with me?”
“Don’t worry; to be fair, I’ll suppress my cultivation to your level…”
“If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you!” Casey looked at him. “And there’s no need for you to suppress your cultivation!”
“Mr. Kimmons, don’t!” Harleen frowned slightly.
Although she couldn’t sense his actual cultivation level, she could tell from his casual move that severely injured Walter Thornton that he was at least above third-rank Entering Dao Realm.
Casey’s combat strength was strong but not enough to match him.
“Harleen, don’t worry. It’s fine,” Casey replied.
“Mr. Kimmons, don’t underestimate him. His combat strength might be enough to rival mid-stage Entering Dao Realm…” Ivy also spoke up.
“It’s fine; I know what I’m doing!” Casey interrupted her.
He then turned to Kingsley Hatfield. “Let’s go somewhere else!”
“Very well!” A cold glint flashed in Kingsley Hatfield’s eyes as he looked at Casey.
Soon, the two were in mid-air.
“A mere seventh-rank Otherworldly Realm cultivator dares to challenge me openly. I admire your courage!” Kingsley Hatfield looked at Casey. “Do you know my cultivation level?”
“I don’t know, and I’m not interested in knowing,” Casey responded calmly. “I only know that coming here today is the biggest mistake of your life!”
“Hahaha…” Kingsley Hatfield laughed again. “Interesting! I finally met someone more arrogant than me!”
He then spoke in a serious tone. “But arrogance requires skill; otherwise, you’ll pay the price with your life!”
“Enough talk!” Casey said sternly. “Show me what you’ve got, Holy Ghost Tribe young master!”
“As you wish!” Kingsley Hatfield didn’t waste any more words and formed a seal with his hand, striking towards Casey.
Casey didn’t retreat but advanced instead. He activated his full strength and drew his sword, sending out a blade light to meet the attack.
With a muffled sound, Casey was blasted five or six hundred meters away by the impact, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
However, he didn’t stop. After stabilizing himself, he charged again with his momentum reaching its peak, sending a powerful blade net towards Kingsley Hatfield.
But this level of attack posed no threat to Kingsley Hatfield. He casually raised his hand and shattered the blade net completely.
“I know you have a trump card. Use it now; otherwise, you won’t have a chance!” After several exchanges, Kingsley Hatfield looked at Casey and said.
“Let’s see if you have what it takes to force out my trump card!” Casey wiped the blood from his mouth and formed the Demon Blade Technique with his sword.
In the next moment, a skeletal image roared and attacked Kingsley Hatfield with terrifying momentum.
“Sorry, but you won’t get the chance to use your trump card!” Seeing this move, Kingsley Hatfield’s eyes narrowed slightly.
