1433 You aren’t scared, are you?
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!
ARE YOU READY TO WATCH THE FINAL SHOWDOWN TO FIND OUT THE STRONGEST EMEPROR IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!?
ARE YOU READY TO FIND OUT WHO WILL BECOME LADY AELIANA’S NEW DISCIPLE!?”
“YEAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
A huge roar was heard, the hundreds of thousands of people that were gathered in the arena all shouted in a frenzy, and why would they not? It was the finale of what could be called one of the biggest tournaments throughout the Low Order.
Yes, A Disciple’s Will, was now considered one of the biggest tournaments despite it being the first time it was introduced. After all, the reward behind it was simply too huge.
The organizers, who smelled out the opportunity were already giving their all to make this event as big as possible and with the unreasonable number of people interested in it, they weren’t exactly having a hard time.
The Host of the tournament smiled widely as he sensed hundreds of thousands of people reacting to his words, he was living every host’s dream. He couldn’t help but feel emotional, however, despite that, he didn’t let that get between his work, “After an entire month of countless small tournaments that were arranged all over the Lower Order and filtering out of millions of participants, we finally have our 8 finalists, 8 strongest emperors who overpowered all their opponents in many battles and now stand before you, ready to face each other as the final victor would then become Lady Aeliana’s disciple!
In this month-long journey filled with countless battles, today is the day their efforts are rewarded!
So people of the Low Order,
Please put your hands together and welcome the 8 final participants!”
“YEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”
“GO FOR IT!!!!!”
“GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!!!”
Once again, frenzy shouts were heard. The Host let the crowd cheer as much as they wanted and waited for it to calm down. Once it did, he smiled as he then started introducing the participants, “Now, let’s start with the first of the eight finalists, coming from the…”
“They are bold.”
As the Host continued to do his work, Nux, who was watching everything from the top of the arena together with Aeliana commented as he narrowed his eyes. Clearly, he was irritated.
Seeing his expression, Aeliana chuckled,
“See? This is how it feels to be at the receiving end of someone’s arrogance. This is why I tell you to keep your arrogance in check.”
“…”
Nux didn’t say anything.
He just continued to look at the Arena, where the host continued to introduce the finalists as they started appearing one by one.
He didn’t like how the Host completely removed him from the equation. The winner of today’s battle was supposed to face him 4 days later and the victor from that battle should have been Aeliana’s disciple.
The fact that the Host skipped over that part…
‘They aren’t even considering me as someone who could pose a challenge…
It has been a while since I have felt something like this…’
Nux muttered in his head, then suddenly,
“Heh.”
He laughed out loud.
“Master.” He called out.
“Hm?” Aeliana turned towards him and frowned the instant she saw his smile.
“You won’t mind if I make this ‘event’ a little interesting, do you?”
“What… do you plan to do…?” Aeliana narrowed her eyes.
“Nothing.”
Nux replied, then suddenly, he stepped forward and… started falling towards the arena’s stage.
“I just wish to give you a reason you can go around boasting in front of your friends.”
Aeliana heard Nux’s voice echoing in her ear as suddenly,
BOOOM
She saw ‘something’ land in the middle of the stage, interrupting the ‘event’ and gaining everyone’s attention.
It didn’t take long for the smoke to get cleared.
“Which bastard dares t-”
Many wanted to confront the one who interrupted, however, the moment their eyes fell on a familiar boy, they froze.
Nux, on the other hand, just dusted off his clothes as he then stared at the Host, who was flying in the sky. A smile appeared on his face as he suddenly disappeared and appeared next to him.
“What are you doing he-” The Host tried to question, but suddenly,
Nux pointed at the 8 Emperors standing on the stage and,
“Are these the strongest Emperors you could gather?” He questioned, his voice was audible to everyone present.
“W-What do yo-”
“Disappointing…”
Without waiting for the response, Nux sighed with a bored look on his face.
Then, he shook his head and,
“This wouldn’t do… I wanted to make this interesting for my dear Master, but if I fight these guys… the battle will be over before it even begins.
Did I overestimate the Ancestral Order?”
The moment he said those words, everyone present narrowed their eyes. Dangerous auras released by Emperors, Sages, Great Sages, Semi Saints and even Saints, who were present amongst the audience all rushed towards Nux.
However,
BOOOM
A heavy aura descended onto the stage, slapping away the combination of aura in an instant. The strong cultivators narrowed their eyes, however, the moment their eyes fell on the person responsible, they froze.
“L-Lady A-A-Aeliana…” The host stuttered.
Aeliana, however, completely ignored the Host and glanced at Nux with a tired look on her face, “Why do you not let anything happen in a normal manner?”
Nux however, just pointed at the 8 Emperors standing on the stage and,
“Just look at them Master, tell me honestly, do you really have any interest in seeing them fight each other and then wait for 4 days before the winner challenges me?
Aren’t the results obvious already?”
Aeliana narrowed her eyes when she heard those words. She glanced at the Emperors and no matter how she saw it, they were all elites. They weren’t someone who could be ignored, amongst the Emperors, they were indeed amongst the strongest.
However…
“There is no need to give side characters so much importance, they will be forgotten anyway.
Let’s do this,
Let the 8 of them fight me together in a 1 vs 8 battle, if they win, they can fight amongst themselves and the winner can become your disciple, And if they lose…
Well, then we will just be skipping the hassle of me having to participate in a boring battle that I already know the result of. At the very least, a 1 v 8 might get interesting, not that I have any high hopes.”
Nux shrugged lazily, then, he glanced at the 8 ‘finalists’ and,
“What do you all say?
You aren’t scared, are you?”
