47 Crippled!
After four fights, it was his turn to go on stage. It was the tournament's most anticipated fight for everyone who didn't know about Vlad's cultivation.
In Viktoria's eyes, this was a joke.
"William Forys and Vlad Rurik, you will be the last of the first round. After this fight, we will take a break."
William was a tall, handsome young man with black hair. His face reflected the pride and confidence of a genius. The young man was dressed in a luxurious white robe and extravagant belt, completely out of place.
Both young men stood on the platform.
'Does this idiot have something against me?' Vlad chuckled internally.
The redhead felt the immense hostility of his opponent.
"Judges, before starting the fight. I have a request," William said.
The spectators began to murmur. They were all curious as to what William was going to say.
"I heard that boy was interested in Mrs. Viktoria."
"Yes, I heard that Mrs. Viktoria rejected it."
"Now that Mrs. Viktoria is so close to a man, I guess he is jealous."
Vlad frowned when he heard the people muttering, but then he relaxed, and an amused smile appeared on his face.
"Judges, except my opponent, we have all been through the age test. Some cultivators retain their youthful aura for up to 200 years. How do we know if this guy is really someone under 100 years old?"
Among the crowd of spectators, a man and a woman argued about their son's attitude.
"Why is William so hostile to that boy?" asked a veiled woman.
"It's all your fault; you spoil your son too much," said an angry bald man.
"My son? He is our son, and you also support him in everything," the woman snorted.
"If he continues to provoke Mrs. Viktoria's disciple, she will end our family."
"It's just the discussion of two children. Don't you think you're exaggerating?" the woman replied.
"Exaggerating? You know what happened to the Qin clan."
The woman couldn't help but get nervous and looked at her son anxiously.
The judges looked at the queen, and the queen looked at Viktoria.
"You can do the test; I have no problem with that," said the blonde.
After getting Viktoria's approval, the queen gave the order.
A few seconds later, an old man approached Vlad; he had a black spherical object in his hands.
"Please, let it fall a drop of blood on this treasure."
Vlad made a small cut on his finger, and he let a drop of blood fall onto the black sphere. Immediately, the sphere changed color from black to green.
The old man smiled and looked at the queen.
"Sure enough, he is a cultivator under 100 years old."
William's face turned ugly. He had heard a rumor that Vlad was a cultivator in the heavenly realm and that he killed Qin Yan and three Qin clan elders.
The young man hoped the rumor was true so that he could expose him before Viktoria. Not only would he win the fight without making a move, but he would also win the blonde's favor.
'That person lied to me; how dare he?' William was furious.
The judges looked at the young man with disdain.
"Do you have any other requests?"
William's anger increased as he felt the mocking gazes of the public.
"Okay, get started," said one of the judges.
"People say you're a genius, and they haven't even seen your strength. How does it feel to depend on a woman?" William scoffed.
"..."
Seeing that there was no response, William continued to tease him.
"Today, I will show everyone who is the true genius."
Vlad just shook his head as he remained silent. He didn't want the queen and princess to get a bad impression of him, so he ignored this brainless guy. But this idiot was very persistent.
"..."
"Are you so scared that you can't speak?"
"..."
'Son of a bitch, you pretend to be mysterious. Today I will rip your limbs off; that bitch Viktoria will most likely kick you out like a dog when you're crippled…' William sent a voice transmission revealing his true colors.
The redhead moved with incredible speed. Using only the strength of his body, he captured William. He grabbed him by the neck without giving him a chance to react.
*Sigh*
"I guess I'm still too young and can't contain myself."
"Since you like to send voice transmissions. You don't need to talk again."
Golden fire gleamed in his palm, little by little. The fire filtered through William's skin and burned his pharynx, tongue, uvula, and palate.
"Ahhooggg..."
William tried to scream, but no sound came out of his mouth. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
But he was helpless. He couldn't fight back; the force that suppressed him was too overwhelming.
Vlad felt that this punishment was not enough. So he hit in the lower abdomen, a few inches below the navel. The young man's dantian shattered, and his cultivation began to drop.
William's eyes widened in horror. CRIPPLED!. This man crippled his dantian.
"NOOOO…" a loud cry was heard from the audience.
Once Vlad was satisfied with the punishment, he threw him out of the arena.
A bald man and a woman flew towards William.
A blue screen appeared in front of Vlad.
[Special Mission: Take Sophia Wojcik as Cultivation Cauldron]
'Sophia? Is she that woman next to William?' Vlad thought.
"Why are you so vicious with my son?" The bald man yelled.
"I don't know your son, but through voice transmissions, he insulted me, and I supported him, but then he insulted my teacher. I am filial; if I did not teach him a little lesson, how can I look my master in the face again". Vlad spoke indifferently.
"Impossible. My son is not that kind of person. He was teasing you a little bit to influence your concentration."
Alexander Forys knew what kind of person his son was. But in front of the people, he tried to keep up appearances. Also, his son insulted Viktoria; this was stupid. The best thing was to deny everything until the end.
Vlad paid no attention to his words and said.
"I don't understand why your son acts like this, did your family send him to declare war on us?"
The old man trembled at his words. A war against a force that is superior to the Royal family? The strongest cultivator in the Forys family was at rank 9, Heavenly Nature Realm. Fighting Viktoria was no different from committing suicide.
The bald man looked towards the royal box and bowed his head.
"Sorry, Mrs. Viktoria, it's my fault for not raising my useless son well."
Although his apology sounded sincere, inside, he seethed with rage and wanted to tear Vlad to pieces. William was his most talented son. He believed his son could become immortal and take the Forys clan to new heights.
The young man was his family's hope, but he was too arrogant, and Vlad cut his way before he matured.
Kassia stared at the arena in astonishment. 'He is very powerful... This boy is not normal; his physical strength is at least on top of the Emperor's realm.'
Viktoria stood up and said.
"Your son is young, and he acted impulsively. Don't worry; we will visit you soon."
The bald man lowered his head and nodded painfully.
One of the judges sent a transmission to the queen.
'Queen, this boy violated the rules. Should he disqualify him?'
Kassia smiled bitterly; she was helpless; she didn't want to offend Viktoria, but on the other hand. That young man violated the rules.
'Logan, you can say that the boy fought for the honor of his master and that we will make an exception, just this once.'
'Yes, queen.'
"Because your master's honor was at stake. We'll make an exception this time, but this can't happen again." The judge who previously communicated with Kassia spoke up.
Nobody dared to murmur or criticize the judges' decision since that would mean going against Viktoria.
The blonde smiled and said. "Thank you for acting justly, Queen Kassia."
"Don't worry, Viktoria, that young man received the punishment he deserved." The queen intervened.
After that incident, the competition resumed, and the result was obvious. Vlad was crowned champion and became the princess's guardian.
A man and two women occupied the following places, respectively. Only one of the women belonged to the main families.
The main clans' discontent was obvious and reflected in their faces. They didn't do anything to hide it either. Suddenly unknown brats appear and rob them of the opportunity they have waited for hundreds of years.
The inheritance was found near the capital of the Thousand Swords empire. According to the rules of the White Tiger Continent, the inheritance belonged to the empire, but they were required to share quotas with all their kingdoms.
The information they had about this inheritance was that only children under 100 years of age could enter and that only 200 people would be allowed to enter; the empire distributed the quotas among its kingdoms, the royal family, the sects affiliated with the empire, and ten quotas for the white tiger sect.
The White Tiger Sect was the ruler of this continent so as a show of respect. The sect or empire that found an inheritance had an obligation to invite them.
