Start of the tournament

Perplexed at how to react from the challenge which couldn't even be considered as a fight, everyone only stared at Felix whose strength was simply terrifying.

Not only was his comprehension of the Dao of Chaos too profound, but he was also even very proficient in the Dao of Space as well!

While thinking that Felix was a monster to achieve this at such a young age, they all felt jealous of his talent for having learnt so much in less than a year after he joined.

Just based on the strength he had shown, Felix was close in strength to those seniors who spent many years secluded inside their caves trying to comprehend a sliver of dao.

"I'll come for you when I feel like it, so make sure to be prepared at all times."

Saying those words to Phoebe who was just recovering from her emotions which had gone out of control, Felix went down the stage.

Listening to Felix, Phoebe now started regretting how she let her emotions get the best of her, and how stupid her decision was.

Making up her mind to talk with Felix, Phoebe decided that now wasn't the right time for it.

Therefore she just turned around and left without talking, since it was soon time for the tournament to start.

"My my, aren't you quite brave to flirt with another woman in front of me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill that girl for her guts?"

Smiling at how Zila had a smile on her face, while she spoke jealous words, Felix said, "You're not someone with an inferiority complex, so it's impossible for you to do such a thing."

"Tsk, whatever. Just don't try and bring her up the Chaos Mountain, if you do I really will kill her."

Not saying anything else, Felix pulled Zila into his embrace and walked away from the crowd under the constant envious looks from every male.

"I finished the fight faster than I expected, so we have some extra time before the tournament starts."

Despite knowing what Felix was hinting at, Zila still said, "And?"

"So how about helping me do a little more last second preparations?"

Looking at Felix who was licking his lips greedily, Zila snorted.

"Don't even think about it! I don't have any interest in bathing one more time. If you really want to do it, go and find your new girlfriend."

"Somebody's feeling jealous."

"Jealous? Humph! Who'd be jealous of that slutty bit..."

As Felix and Zila kept on talking about no topic in particular, the number of challenges were reduced since it was time for the tournament to start.

...

Given how many students there were in the Ethereal Dao College, it was a pipe dream to think about hosting an individual 1 vs 1 match for everyone.

Therefore the tournament took the format of best in a hundred for the first round, where a hundred students enter the stage to fight, and only one walks out as the winner.

It is said that during the peak of the college's time, a total of 500 matches took place in just the first round! This meant a total of 50000 students took part in the tournament.

This time however there weren't so many, and therefore there were only 450 matches scheduled.

Once the teachers finished announcing the rules like always which forbade from killing a student, using forbidden techniques and weapons, and so on.

One by one every student received a number between 1 and 450, which appeared on their cave abode token, cum, Ethereal Dao College identification. 

The number Felix received was 173, therefore his match wouldn't start for at least a few more hours since there were only 50 stages to fight on top of. 

Sitting along with the rest of the audience, it didn't take Felix long to be bored out of his mind. 

If it was a woman dancing, Felix wouldn't mind looking at it forever, but he never understood what was interesting about watching people fight. 

Kicking those close to him on the stands away, Felix laid his head in Zila's lap and stretched his legs which successfully made everyone feel irk for him. 

Looking down at Felix who looked like he would fall asleep at any moment while ignoring everything else, Zila ruffled his hair and said, "Sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time for your fight."

"Really? Thanks a lot, Zila, you're the best."

Not concerned anymore about oversleeping since Zila said she'd wake him up, Felix took in her pleasant smell and closed his eyes to enjoy a nap.

Gritting their teeth at how Felix was looking like royalty, while they looked like poor paupers, everyone in the stands felt their hands itching from wanting to walk up to him and give him a good beating.

However, not many of them entertained that thought since by now most of them had heard about Felix's strength, and how the woman he was with had cruelly killed a student for commenting her.

Unfortunately, not everyone was sane, because there were idiots everywhere.

"Come quickly dude, if we're late we won't be able to see Hazel fight"

"Calm down, the matches probably hadn't even started yet. Instead, let's take time and find some pretty women to fuck until then."

"Shhhh.… lower your voice, everyone can hear us."

"So what if they can hear us? With my background, these sluts should be lucky I'm even touching them."

Turning towards the source of the voice, everyone felt even more annoyed at him, than Felix who looked like he was taunting them.

But just like Felix who had the backing of a head teacher, the man who was speaking also had a similarly strong backing.

"Ooooh, she's cute."

"But, I think she's already taken, look there."

Looking at Felix who was sleeping in the lap of the woman he had eyes for, the man felt a need to show his strength and steal Zila away from him.

"Humph! That brat's just begging to be taught a lesson."

Saying so he started walking towards Zila while stomping his legs hard to let them hear his arrival.

Noticing the thumping sound Zila raised her head, and frowned at the man who was looking at her like a captured fish waiting to be eaten.
