Beginning of Final Match For Main Tournament

 "You can easily win this match," it is not a question, but also not an accusation.

 "I try to keep most of my card close and not shown to others unless needed. After all, if I don't show it, they would not know what I can do and continue to worry about me," Ryker replied to Lariz's words.

 "Alright, alright, no need to be upset," Ryker rolled his eyes, though he do have other things to worry about and that is if his opponent would have trump cards of their own.

 As if reading his thought, Lariz quickly said, "Your next opponent is part of my second brother's faction. He is the strongest after me, and his faction held the same spot. So, you should be prepared. Who knew what kind of trick he would have,"

 Ryker nodded, knowing his arrogance could lead to his downfall, and there is no way he would let himself being beaten by other Genesis Sea experts.

 "I am going to rest for the night," he said before giving his farewell to the Crown Prince.

 After he left, Lariz looked at the direction of his younger brother with a frown, "I hope you will not go anything you will regret,"

-x-

 "Your excellency, you call me," a slender man said, his eyes looking at the figure of the 2nd Prince.

 "Yes, as you knew, your opponent for the day would be the most powerful Genesis Sea expert, one that is far beyond what you can handle," the man nodded. 

 As much as he hate to admit it, there is no one below the Spirit realm that could compare to the man, the subordinate of the First Prince.

 "So, I will give you this," the prince threw a pill vial towards the man. "This is a pill that will help you ascend to the Noble realm," he then threw another one, "and this will help increase your cultivation realm, and something that will work when you are a Noble expert,"

 The 2nd Prince had a grimace on his face thought he manage to hide it. Both pills are expensive but they would be the reason he would win the main tournament.

 "Brother, I hope you are ready to watch your most powerful combatant succumbing to the my strongest combatant,"

-x- 

 The third day of the tournament go without a hitch, though there is a twist. Namely, the 2nd to the 4th tournament are not continued for the day. Instead, the 5th to the 10th tournament would start the day.

 The 5th to the 10th all have the same premise, mastery over weapon, with each tournament focusing on different ones. 

 5th being for sword cultivators, 6th for bows and other ranged weapons, 7th meant for spears, 8th is for the one who wield heavy weapon like large swords and axes, 9th is for those who used the more unconventional weapon such as whip or morning star. As for the 10th, it is for those that used hand to hand weapons, like claws, gauntlets and similar weapons.

 From the look of things, the King seem intent on finishing the tournaments the next day, as it there are two match per fighter, assuming they won their first match. While it took longer, it did not take too long as the first match is about profencies, as one needed to show their strongest technique related to their weapons.

 As for the 2nd match, it is one on one, with 4 who manage to step to the 2nd match would be going against one another. The winner of the match would face the other in the finals.

 By the time of his match, the sun already began to dip, though instead of causing the excitement to die down, instead, it seem to cause the crowd to be excited. Then again, they rarely see such fight, so it stand to reason why they are excited of it.

 Ryker prepared himself, after all, who knew what kind of plan the 2nd Prince would have. One thing he can be sure of is that he would do his best to come out on top.

-x-

 "Yes, with my strength at the Noble realm, there would be no one that could stop in this competition, not even a prodigy like you," the slender man said, his tone filled with madness as he head towards the entrance to the arena, ready to show his might to the world.

-x-

 "And so, we will see who will come out on top for the final match of the day, and also the final match for the main tournament. This would be a match off between the First and Second Prince!

 Would it be the powerful prodigy, one that bested many others despite his low cultivation realm. Or would it be the fighter of the 2nd Prince, who had shown his mettle before!?

 Let us find out in this match!" the crowd cheers by the end of the announcer words, excited by the prospect of the match.

 After all, while Ryker breeze the elimination round, who can say it is not a fluke. With this, the spectators prepared themselves for a great fight.

 The two combatants entered the arena, though the slender man who represent the 2nd Prince had an unhinged look on his face. The crowd were slightly disturbed by it, though they quickly put it at the back of their head. After all it is a fight they all have been waiting for.

 "Is both combatant ready?" the two quickly took out their weapons, both of them having a low Noble Grade Artifact, with Ryker having a sword, while the slender man has a spear.

 "If there is nothing else, let the fight commence!" the announcer exclaimed, as the crowd cheered on the two fighters.

 "You should surrender now. I am far stronger than you," Ryker arched his brows.

 "On what basis?" he countered.

 "On this," soon, Noble Tower emerged from his body, causing the crowd to gasp in shock.

 "What is this, has the 2nd Prince'a chosen fighter entered the Noble re- what is this!? He manage to become a 2nd Stage Noble!" indeed, the slender man manage to form two Noble Tower, increasing his might by a lot.

-x-

 "Oh boy, this would be hard for him," Lariz said. While he had confidence for him to fight against a 1st Stage Noble, a 2nd Stage Noble is something he not sure off. After all, without a visual proof, it is hard to believe him able to face against a 2nd Stage Noble.

-x-

 "Let see if he would be able to show what you claimed," the Principal said, eying the match with greater interest.

-x-

 Ryker narrowed his eyes, knowing this fight would be the hardest one yet.
