THE ABNORMALITY

Jimmy's grandmaster identity can not be kept a secret for ever. Very soon it will be revealed to the public. After all, being a grandmaster at such an young age is definitely not a small feat. If he is still alive, then his future will be limitless.

But for now, after seeing the confidence level of his clan members which hit rock bottom, Miller felt that it is better to keep this matter a secret. At least for now. It is better to keep this situation as it is instead of making it worse by revealing it now.

They still have one week of time for the end of the competition. After one week, all the lifestyle Masters will come back from the Lifestyle hall. When that time comes, Miller was sure that the confidence level of his clan members which hit rock bottom will recover to some extent.

At that time, it will naturally revealed about Jimmy's achievements. Ellen will be the first person who will be shocked. But it has nothing to do with the Raven sect about what exactly were her thoughts.

The same thought were shared by other clan members as well. After looking at the depressed state of their clan members who came out of the forest, all the elders and clan leaders felt that it is better to keep any shocking news away from them. It is better to leave them alone for a moment. Because it is the best medicine for their depressed mood.

If the clan leaders or elders opened their mouths, then it was to console their depressed juniors. They were trying to boost the confidence level of their juniors as much as possible. That's all they can do for now. Anything else, it will lead to the disaster. The situation was already looking not good. At this time, the consolidation is the best medicine they could find for their depressed juniors.

Just like that, one week had passed. The lifestyle cultivators who were participating in the lifestyle hall came back. They were brought back by the judge from the Lifestyle Hall.

Unlike the contestants from the forest, their faces were glowing with excitement. They didn't know what exactly happened. But one week ago, suddenly their ranking spots took a huge boost. If a lifestyle cultivation team was ranked in 10000s. A week ago, it certainly Richard top 1000.

Nobody knew the reason behind it. But whatever it is, the final result was amazing. The final ranking of their team had surpassed their initial expectations. In fact, the difference was completely huge.

This is the reason despite their final rankings which expelled them from participating in the competition that will take place in the Royal Capital, they were still happy.

Their happiness has a meaning though. Before they entered this competition, they had no hopes for winning the first place and they don't have any hopes for participating in the higher stage in the Royal capital. Majority of them felt that, it is better if they could make it into top 20,000. In fact that would be a miracle if they made it into talk 20,000.

But they were excited to see their ranking which was around 10,000 a week ago. At least, the ranking had exceeded their expectation. But things suddenly changed as the ranking started to rise up uncontrollably. This made them confused all of a sudden. If it was just one or two teams, then things would not look abnormal. But all the teams within the lifestyle Hall experienced the same surprise.

It actually raised a huge commotion within the lifestyle hall. The judge came forward and calmed the situation down. Event judge felt something was not right. So he contacted the province Lord Xavier and reported the abnormal situation taking place in the Lifestyle Hall.

Xavier helplessly revealed the reason behind it. When the judge in the lifestyle Hall learned the truth, he remained speechless for a while. But he knew that he is the judge of the competitions. So he composed himself very quickly. But he didn't reveal the reason behind this abnormal activity to the participants in the Lifestyle Hall. The only thing he told them is that, The bracelets were not malfunctioning. Everything they are experiencing is genuine.

Everyone rejoiced with this news. After all, their rankings were going to be exceeding their imagination. It will definitely raise the morale and prestige of their clan.

But some of the clever people like Ellen knew that something was odd. Unlike other contestants, they were aiming for championship. The first rank is what matters to them.

But when this abnormalities took place, she found that all the places from the second spot to the tenth were occupied by the teams from the Lifestyle Hall. In fact, 11th, 12th and so on all the places they have counted were occupied by the teams from the Lifestyle Hall.

They could have counted even further. But they were bored and felt that they were wasting their time. And most importantly, when the examiner revealed that there were no abnormalities with the system, his facial expression betrayed his calm nature. This made the likes of Ellen even more confused.

But they knew their priorities. So they diligently fought for the first place. But no matter how much they tried, even after the end of one week, their rankings never changed. When the judge announced that the time is over, no one from the lifestyle hall managed to occupy the first spot.

Even Ellen failed as she remained at the second spot. This result depressed her. Only one team could make it into the Royal capital. And the requirement for participating in the Royal capital is to win the first spot in the competition. The second spot want to do any good. Since she remained at the second spot, then she was not eligible to participate in the competition that will take place in the Royal capital.

She had a hunch that only one person could stop her from participating in the royal capital. On the one person had that kind of strength. And she felt that it is not abnormal for her to lose as she had a 60% probability of her lose.

It was not because she underestimated herself. But she knew what kind of freak Bruce was. He is the only person who could stop her from reaching the first rank. Even though she knew that Bruce was one man Army in the competition, he was still a threat to her.

She might probably the only person from the lifestyle Hall who came out dejectedly. But the competition was fair and square. And she cannot argue about it. So, she accepted her fate and came back to the gathering spot.

After coming back, when they looked at all the contestants who actually chose to participate in the competition through the combat means, they were surprised.
