"Monroe of the Sun-Moon Sect, here to challenge!"
Monroe, who had been seated in the VIP section, glanced at the coldly elegant Annie. Stretching lazily, she showcased her voluptuous figure, making it even more alluring.
Her semi-transparent attire revealed her fair skin in the most enticing way.
Monroe's voice carried a seductive tone, drawing the attention of most male mages like an invisible hand. Their gazes fixed on her, drooling and looking utterly mesmerized.
"Are the Mountain Forces getting involved too?"
Edward and the headmaster of Luna Academy looked slightly grim.
They had understood that the Sun-Moon Sect had sent a saint to observe, intending to use this opportunity to gauge Owen's abilities.
But seeing her actively participating was still surprising.
The Mountain Forces were known for their mystery and strength, often ignoring matters outside their domain, believing that nothing happening below could affect their status.
Their involvement now was an unprecedented sign of how much they valued Owen!
They knew very little about this saint of the Sun-Moon Sect, Monroe, and were extremely curious. Especially Davis, who had accompanied Monroe, found himself breathing more slowly.
As the son of the Prime Minister of the Cloud Empire, he had tried to learn about Monroe without getting deeply involved with the Sun-Moon Sect.
Until now, there had been no good opportunity, but Monroe's interest in Owen sparked his
own.
Turning his thoughts quickly, Davis stood up, looking at Owen on the platform, and said loudly:
"Davis, son of the Prime Minister of the Cloud Empire, here to challenge Owen!"
With Davis's declaration, many kingdom representatives couldn't sit still.
The Cloud Empire's influence was vast and its power formidable, deeply impacting the surrounding kingdoms.
They knew they weren't Owen's match but wanted to challenge him to show their alignment with Davis and, by extension, the Cloud Empire.
Voices challenging Owen echoed like a chorus, filling the air and making the blood within one's body almost boil with excitement.
Owen had always adopted an open-arms approach to challenges from his peers.
However, the number of challengers this time was simply overwhelming.
Accepting each challenge individually would mean battling indefinitely, possibly never finishing.
Most importantly, Owen felt that their strength wasn't enough to pose a real threat to him.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Owen looked at the numerous prodigies eager to challenge him and spoke in a voice like a resounding bell:
"All of you, come at me together!"
Together?!
At Owen's words, the challengers were stunned, their voices seeming to be choked by an invisible hand.
They had encountered arrogant people before, but never anyone as brazen as Owen!
He intended to take on all the prodigies by himself!
Even the older generation was shocked, looking at Owen with astonished faces.
Facing so many prodigies alone was something even they wouldn't be confident about.
Owen was indeed too arrogant!
However, upon reflection, they realized that Owen might not be entirely wrong.
After all, he had already demonstrated that he was on a higher level than all the prodigies present.
He was not in the same league as top-tier prodigies like John.
Perhaps only he could dare to say such words!
The deathly silence of the numerous prodigies was entirely within Owen's expectations.
He sighed and, looking over the crowd of prodigies, said:
"I just want to defeat all of you here, or be defeated by you. After all, constantly winning without ever experiencing failure is not good for me."
His provocative words, though not loud, cast a shadow over the faces of all the prodigies, igniting a fierce anger within them.
"This is too much! Does he really think we're nothing?!"
"Although he is very arrogant, his words aren't entirely wrong. With his strength, he is indeed not someone any single one of us can handle alone!"
"Let's team up and teach him a harsh lesson!"
Many prodigies were infuriated. In their respective kingdoms, they were the top talents,
always greeted with flowers and applause.
When had they ever faced such humiliation?
As the crowd of prodigies grew increasingly agitated, Madelyn and Marry looked at Owen with worried expressions.
Although they both knew Owen's strength was immense and unfathomable, they were concerned that facing so many prodigies at once might result in Owen being overwhelmed or seriously injured.
"Owen, maybe you should take a moment to adjust yourself first..." Marry called out loudly.
Her words were meant to buy Owen some time to recover and to make him realize that
accepting the challenge of so many prodigies was no trivial matter.
Marry's voice caused the hundreds of eager prodigies to pause and look at Owen.
They knew that attacking together was unfair, and they naturally wanted to challenge Owen at
his peak to see his true limits.
Facing the questioning looks from the crowd, Owen shook his head and said, "No need, all of you attack together. I hope you don't disappoint me!"
As he spoke, Owen activated his Basic Healing Skill, quickly restoring himself to peak
condition.
Seeing Owen's aura return to its peak, the numerous prodigies, who had gathered in front of the arena, were shocked once again.
They had only seen such rapid recovery skills on John before, and now Owen displayed the
same ability!
How many more hidden techniques did this guy have?
In an instant, the numerous prodigies, who had initially planned to hold back, took a deep breath and decided to use their most powerful techniques.
They needed to teach Owen a profound lesson!
They knew that while they might not be able to defeat Owen in single combat, if they couldn't beat him together, they would have no face to return to their kingdoms.
Moreover, many of the more perceptive prodigies felt that this might be their only chance to
defeat Owen.
If they missed it, they might never have such an opportunity again.
"Attack together, don't hold back. Since he has such confidence, let's give him a proper
lesson!"
"Don't give him any time to gather strength. If he uses techniques like TNT, even if we join forces, we won't stand a chance!"
The prodigies strategized while mobilizing the brilliant mana elements within and around
them.
Owen's challenge had backed them into a corner where they couldn't afford to lose, or they would become laughingstocks and forever be recorded in the annals of Academy City.
Witnessing this scene, Edward's blood was boiling.
He felt he was witnessing the birth of a legendary moment in history!
Regardless of the outcome, this battle would be the focus of future discussions for
generations.
No one before had been as audacious or confident as Owen.
The royal family, Council of Elders, Luna Academy, and other factions discarded all other
thoughts, fully immersing themselves in the spectacle.
This battle had truly captured everyone's attention!
In the center of the arena, Owen's robes billowed in the wind. Facing him, the hundred
prodigies activated their most powerful techniques.
Chaotic magical fluctuations formed a tide that connected the heavens and earth, sweeping
across the world.
The sky above them was dark and tumultuous, like the reopening of chaos, with the wind and
clouds roaring.
"Arrow of the Angel!"
Annie's holy wings unfurled behind her as she drew the celestial longbow in front of her.
An arrow, hovering between reality and illusion, was pulled to its limit and then shot through
the air.
The arrow transformed into a dazzling beam of angelic light, radiating seven colors under its glow. Faint sounds of a divine realm echoed as it descended upon the arena.
"Yin-Yang Chaos!"
Monroe narrowed her eyes as a crescent moon shadow appeared in her left hand, resembling a
delicate silver jade plate.
In her right hand, a fiery sun materialized, like a compressed flame radiating pure yang
energy.
As she clasped her hands together, a celestial fox appeared behind her, racing towards Owen and shattering the bright sky along its path, plunging it into darkness.
