Horrifying Power

Art and Qin Nan begin out their battle.

Qin Nan is Qin Yan's older brother. He is regarded as one of the top geniuses in the eastern region who has reached mid-purple level at the age of 19.

Qin Nan notices that Art is only at super-blue level when he stares at him. He makes the choice to end the game early.

Everyone was paying close attention to the stage. The Family Heads wanted to learn more about Art.

When Qin Nan attacks Art with his water magic, he feels tremendous pressure when he looks into Art's eyes.

Amelia remarks as she scans the stage, "His spirit will is different as usual. Although he hasn't utilized it, the opponent has been impacted by its powerful aura."

Qin Nan snaps back from the shock. He then examined the circumstance in which he perceived extreme risk.

Art, closes his eyes and releases his spirit will. The pressure from his Spirit will starts affecing the Stage, and Qin Nan immediately becomes pale and retreats a few steps. Everyone had a shiver down their spine due to the spirit's intent, which was extremely strong. The faces of the several family heads were astonished, and Yang Wei's was the most repulsive. Ye Tian wore a serious expression because he was unable to meet the Spirit's strength.

'He is quite strong. I have to be serious if I want to beat him,' Ye Tian pondered.

Mei Xing, Xiuying, and Qiuyue were all in disbelief. The strength of the Spirit Will was far beyond their expectations.

The force of the spirit will of Art was too much for Qin Nan to bear. As a result of Art's pressure, he collapses.

'It appears to have been too much for him, I suppose. He is quite competent at withstanding it despite being from small place for longer than five seconds. If he came from the tower, I can anticipate a fight.' Art contemplates while observing Qin Nan and the stage.

Naomi announces the match's winner immediately.

Everyone was staring at Art as though he were a monster. The Family Heads closely examine Art as they gauge his strength. Art senses a suspicious presence watching him but decides to ignore it.

Mei Xing, who is seated next to him, begins to enquire about many topics including the tower.

Amelia continues the subject of Qiuyue and Xiuying's discussion on the spirit will.

Qin Hai was composed at the Family Heads' table despite witnessing his kid pass out without a fight. The faces of Ning Jan and Chen Yuze were solemn.

"Yuchen, you have a wonderful son-in-law!", Says Chen Yuze.

Everyone starts talking about the fight between Art and Qin Nan.

'I thought he was someone who can be dealt easily. Now that Murong Xin is present as well, I need to come up with a new strategy. I'm not currently in a position to deal with that brat.' Ning Jan receives a mental message from Chen Yuze.

'I'll make a try to persuade Murong Yuchen to give Ning Xiuying back to the Ning family by citing the main family as a reason. We have less than six months, so we can't put it off. We must alter the original strategy and deliver her directly to the Star general. He has that organisation behind him, so even if we upset the main family, he can still defend us.' Ning Jan gives Chen Yuze a message mentally.

After giving it some thought, Chen Yuze nods.

'Try to convince him by using a Red Marathaka stone. It is quite rare compared to other stones and is very valuable, and he searched everywhere for it.' Ning Jan receives a mental message from Chen Yuze.

Ning Jan unexpectedly breaks the conversation, "Yuchen, I have a favour to ask?" stopping everyone at the table.

They are all intrigued by Ning Jan and all look at him. Murong Yuchen is likewise taken aback by Ning Jan's pleasant demeanour, which contrasts sharply with his typical demeanour.

"I can't promise it. After hearing the favour, I'll decide whether to do it or not," Murong Yuchen replies.

"Try asking your Son-in-Law to give Ning Xiuying back to the Ning family. The higher-ups are worried about her and want her to return home to them after three years. I'll return the favour by giving you 100 high grade green stones and a Red Marathaka stone," Ning Jan requests Murong Yuchen.

The offer surprised everyone. The proposal shocked Chen Yuze. The Red Marathaka stone has a great value, however obtaining 100 high-grade green stones, which are very helpful for many elements.

For Ning Jan to start caring for Ning Xiuying and quote such a hefty price to get her back to the family, Murong Yuchen was astonished and pondered, 'Is it really just the main family, or is there another force at work? The situation involving her mother was also suspicious. In any case, despite the attractive offer, I am unable to decide on this.'

"I'm sorry, but I'm unable to help you. I can set up a meeting for you and Art at most." Murong Yuchen answers him.

After saying "thank you" to Murong Yuchen, Ning Jan joins about more chat.

In response to Ning Jan's conduct, Murong Yuchen instantly alerts Murong Xin.

Upon seeing the message, Murong Xin replies, "Let it be." Although Yuchen was puzzled by Xin's message, he chose to have trust in his wife.

'If my recollection is correct, he should be able to defeat at the very least a Gold-level combat master, according to the rumours last year. By the strength displayed during this little competition, even if the rumours are completely wrong, he is capable of defeating combat masters as high as the fifth stage of Silver-level combat master'. Looking at Art, Murong Xin analyzes inwardly.

The following match is continued by Naomi.

Ye Yan and Liu Jing faced off in the next match.

Ye Yan, Ye Tian's younger sister, is 17 years old and at a low-violet level. She has long black hair and is attractive in her own way.

Liu Jing is one of the Murong family special guest who was present on behalf of her family. At the party, only few people are aware of her. She was equally as beautiful as Murong Qiuyue.

"So she's the rumoured daughter of the central continent's Liu family. She is reportedly on the verge of reaching White Stage. She is only 17 years old, which is terrifying!" Says Yang Wei.

Everyone at the table nods.

Murong Xin also observes her with interest.

Liu Jing also employs her spirit will to force her opponent to concede defeat. The force's strength was comparable to Art's spirit will, as seen in the last battle.

Everyone, even Art, was taken aback by Liu Jing's strength.

Amelia was also interested in Liu Jing's maximum power because she sensed that she was at the Super-Purple level and was on the verge of the White stage.

Art unexpectedly says to Amelia, "Invite her to the team on behalf of me," which caught her off guard.

"How is the Astral Magic Club progressing, too? " Art inquires Amelia.

Amelia responds to Art, "It has a massive debt, are you sure? We can buy it at any time."

"We gain the facility given by the Astral Magic club and the right to join the Magic Union, which has very nice benefits and is also very beneficial in the long term, so the debt of 30 billion coins is not that bad," Art tells Amelia.

Amelia says to Art, "Okay, it's up to you. Should I also invite them to the Club?" while pointing towards Liu Jing and Long Fengying.

After giving it some thought, Art replies to Amelia, "...Ok."

The contest between Liu Jing and Ye Yan was concluded while Amelia and Art were chatting. Ye Yan admitted defeat four seconds after the start of the battle.

Liu Jing is declared the winner of the match by Naomi.

Chen Yuze speaks to the everyone at the table, saying, "She is strong, as it was expected from the genius of the Liu Family, which has the same status as our family in the central continent. She is also beautiful, and I am thinking of requesting her hand for marriage with my son."

"Dream on! She is the pride of the family. She is constantly observed by the main family from the tower. She will be returning to the main family. Liu Family is a first-rate family in the tower, whereas yours is only a third-rate family. Even though we have the same status here, it doesn't mean it will be the same in the case of the tower. What do you think Murong Yuchen?" Xu Ting says to everyone in the table.

"I agree with Xu Ting. She will return to the main family, and her identity is quite special, I can tell you that much," Murong Yuchen responds.

The news from the Murong Yuchen startled all Family Heads.

Murong Xin casts a glance at Murong Yuchen and gives a mental message, "Can you not learn to control your tongue? You keep blabbing information without considering the implications. Simply nod your head and try to talk less."

Murong Yuchen felt embrassed by his wife's stern scolding.

Huang Qianfan says for the first time during the party, "You have good knowledge of the Liu Family, and I need to learn from you to understand more about other families in the globe and the tower."

The following match is continued by Naomi.

Murong Yichen and Mo Hui faced off in the following match.

Murong Yichen is 17 years old and has reached the super-Indigo level. Mo Hui comes from a smaller family like Ye Tian and Lu Chen. He is the same age as Murong Yichen and is at mid-Indigo level.

Mo Hui and Murong Yichen are classmates that are friendly.

They each display their strength as they spectacularly launch into battle. Mo Hui enabled Murong Yichen to use his plant magic to overcome his fire magic. The magic power from Murong Yichen overpowers Mo Hui.

Murong Yichen demonstrated sword skills that were superior to those of Mo Hui. After a few collisions, the match was over.

Mo Hui admits his defeat.

Murong Yichen is declared the winner of the battle by Naomi.
