Chapter 77 The Outer Court Rankings XI: "I Don't Trust Your Kind!"
"Heavens! He really did it?!"
"Doesn\'t this mean that he is stronger than a peak Gold Core Realm cultivator with two-star battle power?"
The crowd was shocked at the fact that Arthur had won with one punch, just as he said.
Even though they still did not believe that he will win this competition with one move for every opponent that he faces, they now knew that he is strong enough to rank in the top ten.
As only the top ten outer court disciples are able to do what he just did. But even so, it was still very surprising as this has never happened before.
No new disciple had participated in the rankings and entered the top three hundred in just a few months after their admission.
A new disciple ranked in the top ten?
This would be a first.
"Wait a minute, is it just me or did anyone else notice that he used the fifth level of the North-Star Fists?!"
Someone pointed out and brought the disciple\'s attention to what he said. And now when they thought about it, it was true.
"So he learned that in two months?!"
"At this point, we can not be sure how much of the martial arts techniques he had mastered in this short amount of time."
"That is true. So far he has definitely been holding back as no one has made him go all out, yet."
"Right, but I think we should be seeing that when he faces the top ten disciples."
"But didn\'t he say he will defeat all in one move?"
"Come one, don\'t tell me he would beat the top ten in one move. The top ten disciples are all at the peak of the Gold Core Realm and are all three-star battle geniuses at least."
"Hmm, guys let\'s leave all that until the actual fight. I don\'t think there is any use in arguing about this."
Back at the arena, Arthur had a calm look in his eyes as he deactivated the martial arts technique he just used.
\'Such an attack is sufficient to rank in the top twenty. But it will not be enough to take down the top ten.\'
Arthur speculated as he knew he would be revealing more of his strength as his opponents grow stronger.
At the same time, their different martial spirits will affect the flow of battle and how he deals with them.
\'Still, all I have to do is increase my speed and power of attacks. It seems I won\'t be showing off my sword skills because of this...\'
*Bang!*
"Argh!"
Arthur heard a scream and turned his head to the other battle that had been ignored by most.
\'Hm?\'
He was surprised by what he saw as he turned his head.
\'She won?\'
At the other side of the arena, Shena half-kneeled on the ground with her legs and arms bleeding profusely.
"You bitch! You tricked me?!" Shena said with gritted teeth as she stared at Amelia with hatred.
Even though she won, Amelia was not smiling. She stood with her hand on her bow martial spirit as an arrow made up of essence energy was in the bowstring, ready to be shot at any time.
"You were foolish enough to get tricked, so do not blame me. And besides, weren\'t you suppose to be strong?"
"Don\'t get cocky-!"
Amelia shut her up with an arrow that tore the surface of her cheeks.
"Remember your position."
Shena went silent and only kept her glare. She hated losing, and she hated losing to Amelia more than anything in the world.
"That bet of ours...I won." Amelia said before dismissing her martial spirit and giving a sudden kick at Shena\'s temple.
*Bang!*
Shena landed unconscious outside the arena. Immediately after a group of servants came and carried her away on a stretcher. And they did the same with Akin too.
They were taken to a place where their injuries will be taken care of by the sect for free.
After giving that kick, Amelia\'s breathing became heavy.
She was more tired and weakened than she had led on. But that didn\'t matter as she won in the end.
*Tap*
She turned her head as she heard the footsteps that approached her and saw Arthur a few meters away.
*Swoosh!*
Arthur suddenly appeared in front of her in an instant.
"Ah..." She was speechless as she was not even able to see how he moved.
Amelia did not know about Arthur before now as she was away from the sect. But she had learned from the discussions of the crowd that he was a new disciple.
Seeing Arthur stand before her, she felt a bit nervous.
She had wanted to enter the rankings for the first time since she entered the sect, but it appears she will be unable to do so.
"Hello, Amelia," Arthur smiled at her.
Amelia looked at Arthur but did not respond.
\'I won\'t be able to defeat him. So I should forfeit on my own.\'
"I would like to invite you to join my faction," Arthur extended an invitation.
But the response he received was not one he predicted.
"I don\'t trust your kind."
Amelia said that and jumped off the stage, leaving a surprised Arthur.
\'She doesn\'t trust my kind?\'
\'Does she have something against guys?\' Arthur wondered what she meant by that statement but shrugged in the end.
The elder acting as the referee looked at Arthur with cold eyes for a bit but decided to announce the end of the match.
"The winner of this match is... Invincible!" The elder announced.
Arthur looked at the elder and smiled before leaving the stage.
The elder\'s lips twitched but continued with what he was saying.
"Now we shall move on to the ranking matches."
He waved his hand and this time a token was thrown toward every participating disciple.
Arthur caught it and saw the number on the token.
[299]
Meanwhile, a word was sent to the inner court disciples of the Blood Sword Faction about what just happened, along with Arthur\'s declaration.
