Chapter 360: The battle begins
The ones who were most surprised by it were the princes and the king, who couldn’t understand how Jayden was able to become so strong in such a short time, but still, he was not strong enough to pose a threat to them so they just decided to ignore it.
” Since our champion has shown us such a wonderful battle, let’s give him some time to prepare for the next fight, shall we? ” She announced in a loud voice as all the people in the audience excitedly waited for the final battle.
Jayden walked back to his seat ignoring all the piercing gazes that were directed towards him, now it was just a matter of time before the massacre started.
This time again, a twenty minutes break was given and it was enough for Jayden to complete the array, he sat back comfortably on his seat and closed his eyes.
The people chatted among themselves excitedly, discussing whether Jayden could create another miracle, since Tan Qi was almost as strong as the king, many people were even cheering for him. The time passed and the announcer again came to the centre of the ground.
” The time has finally come, maybe we are about to see a legendary battle, or maybe the result will be something we can’t even predict, let’s wait and see how the results turn out. ” She paused a little after these words, and after getting loud cheers from the crowd she added:
” Now I would like to call both participants to the battle ground. ”
Jayden and Xing Tao both jumped from their seats and landed in front of each other.
” Hoo, I can already feel a shift in the environment, alright I am running out of here, let the battle begin. ”
Jayden’s array was almost complete, only a couple more symbols were needed to be added so Jayden had decided to stop the process for now it would be ready whenever he wanted.
‘ DOMAIN ‘
He commanded in his mind, and an invisible sphere appeared in the battle ground, surrounding both of them yet no one could see or feel it.
‘ SWARM ‘
His mind began to work at full speed as the creation of the maze began, since his mastery of the skill wasn’t too high yet and his mental strength wasn’t too strong, he needed a little more than ten minutes to create the SWARM.
” You got your mother’s looks, Wang Jin. ”
Breaking the tense atmosphere Xing Tao said, he didn’t seem worried at all, Jayden have a treasure so what, he has one too and his strength is clearly higher than his.
” And I am really thankful for that, you over stretched asshole. ” Jayden said, he was looking at the king as if he was looking at something dirty as if just the sight alone was enough to dirty his vision.
” You bastard, speak politely with father. ” It was the second prince who yelled at Jayden. Looking lazily over the prince Jayden corrected himself:
” Ah sorry, bad things are ought to come out of my mouth when my eyes see something ugly, anyway let’s start the introduction again. ” Then after a small pause, he added:
” And I am really grateful for that… ” After another small pause, he said: ” You over stretched asshole… Sir. ”
” Ha! You have changed a lot, I have heard some news about you when you were younger, you were always bullied, you were weak, always used to cry. Yet now look at you, saying all those things while looking straight at me, not even afraid of the king. ” Xing Tao said he didn’t seem to mind Jayden’s rude remark.
” And you still look as ugly as before, how could a cowardly piece of shit even manage to take the throne, oh right you murdered your siblings, poisoning, assassinating them in sleep, and what not. Haha, you really are a son of bitch. ”
Jayden said, everyone looked at this scene with wide eyes, he is openly insulting the king, the person who is at the top of the hierarchy in the entire Kingdom. But for some reason, the king just laughed it off, it was as if Xing Tao was treating him as something insignificant, Jayden’s words seemed like jokes to him.
Though Jayden didn’t mind it, after all, he was just using this time to create the ‘SWARM’.
” Haha, you are good with words I see, I can give you a job inside the castle what do you think? ”
The King spoke as if he was doing a great favour for Jayden, and it was true to some extent after all most people would do anything to get such privilege, many people in the audience were jealous of him for getting such an offer directly from the king.
” Oh really, what kind of job? ”
Jayden showed some interest in his words, and the king felt that he could finally manipulate Jayden he glanced to the side and saw Wang Jia looking at Jayden, he was sure that if he could use Jayden he would even be able to get Jia.
” I can make you my strategist, actually there is a vacant spot right now and you must be aware why that’s the case, anyway I think it will perfectly suit you. ” It was a very high position, there were only two strategists after all and one of them is dead, even Xing An and the princes were surprised by this generous offer.
” Hmmm, that’s wonderful, but I have a different position in mind. ” Jayden said his expressions weren’t reflecting the excitement present in his words.
” Oh, what might it be? I would definitely love to have you work with me, I am sure the kingdom will become even more prosperous with your help. ”
Xing Tao said he was aware of Jayden’s capabilities because he was the person who thoroughly destroyed his plans on more than one occasions.
Jayden thought for a few seconds, he had created more than half of the maze by now, and then he replied:
” How about the king’s position, I don’t know whether I am the best candidate for that position or not but I’m definitely better than you, after that I might consider giving you a position in the castle. ”
Xing Tao stared at Jayden then he burst out laughing: ” You are a fun kid, alright but it’s time to end this or our audience might get bored, be sure to attend my wedding, when I marry Xiao Ro- ”
Before the words left his mouth, a purple sword appeared in Jayden’s hand without even unsheathing the sword, he casually waved it towards Xing Tao, as a strong gust of wind flew towards him almost throwing him off his feet and several cuts appeared all over his body, even getting through his protective Armors.
“!!!”
Xing Tao placed his hands in front of his face, only after taking more than five steps back was he able to stabilize himself, then he looked at Jayden with a disbelieving gaze.
” Y- You… How are you so strong? ” Xing Tao asked, he immediately understood that both the matches Jayden had fought before were just acting.
