I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 153: Irregular License Exam (33)

Once that matter was settled, the serious looking examiner came over to us and said, "Now, let's get all of you ready."

He turned around and waved his hand for us to follow.

After hesitating a bit, we still decided to follow him.

He led us into the stadium, but it was completely different from before.

Everything that had been there for the preliminary tests a few days ago had been removed and there was just a single stage in the center of this stadium.

It was a stage that wasn't considered that big, just big enough for two people to fight in.

When we arrived at this stage, the serious looking examiner suddenly stopped and turned around to face us.

His eyes swept over us before he gave a nod and said, "Now, we'll tell you who you'll be fighting first."

All of us were taken aback when we heard this.

We had known that we would be fighting each other, but no one had told us how this would work and who we would be fighting.

So now that it was actually happening, all of us couldn't help looking at each other with wary looks.

The serious looking examiner didn't care about this as he said, "Now, you've all been told that your ranking in the second exam would help you in the third exam. It wasn't just how your rooms would be divided that would help you, but it would also decide who you will be facing."

The serious looking man gave a snap and there was a screen that suddenly appeared in the air.

This screen showed them the tournament bracket and who they would be facing.

The matches were set so that the top and bottom of the rankings would be facing each other.

That meant that I would be facing the person who finished in 100th place.

Long Shui Ling was second, so she would face the 99th place person.

And so on and so on.

That was how it had been arranged.

Luckily for us, we had been placed on opposite sides of the bracket, so we wouldn't meet until the final match.

I wasn't worried about facing Long Shui Ling, it was just that I knew that she would forfeit if she was matched with me.

Since I had deemed Long Shui Ling as my property, I naturally needed her to do as best as she could. My property needed to have the best identity so they could do more for me.

So to encourage her, I said, "Let's meet in the finals."

When she heard this, Long Shui Ling revealed a bright look of determination in her eyes.

Since I had said this, she would make it happen.

The only other person that I cared about a bit was Zhao Kui.

I knew that he would try to find a chance to fight me and there was no better chance than in this tournament.

Of course, I wasn't afraid of him since I had seen what he was capable of.

I just didn't want to fight him unless it was absolutely necessary.

It was that I found him annoying and didn't want to deal with him.

Since I was the top ranked, my match was first.

But I found that my opponent was that person who had been suppressed by the serious looking examiner and taken away.

Since my opponent had already been incapacitated, I received a bye to the next round without having to do a single thing.

When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.

I had already been prepared to fight, but now it turned out that it was all for nothing.

So I had nothing to do but to watch the others fight.

It was the same situation for Long Shui Ling since her opponent had also dropped out.

They were among the ones that had failed the preliminary of the third exam.

They hadn't been able to keep up, so they had been directly failed by the serious looking examiner.

Zhao Kui wasn't as lucky.

The 98th placed person was a person with a physical attributed power, so he had been able to keep up with the pace of the run.

When the two of them faced off, Zhao Kui found that his abilities were more troublesome than they seemed…but he was able to catch his opponent off guard in the end by using a few rocks that he had picked up on the side of the road.

With his size increasing ability, he trapped his opponent before knocking him off the stage.

But the way that he was panting made it clear that he had used up quite a bit of energy to take care of his opponent.

As he left the stage, he didn't forget to glare in my direction as if he was challenging me.

All I did was ignore him with a smile on my face.

That served to enrage Zhao Kui even more.

After that, there were many others who fought, but I didn't really have much interest in these fights.

From what I could see, they all had powers that could be considered normal.

Or at least they were considered normal here among all of these Irregulars.

They weren't that creative with how they used their powers, so they weren't able to demonstrate that much power in the end.

It was clear by the disappointed looks on the faces of the examiners that they weren't impressed.

The serious looking examiner had also explained, "We will be grading you based on your performances. Depending on the demonstration that you give, we will give you a rank accordingly. So do the best that you can to show yourselves off."

The first round only had around 80 examinees since around 20 of them dropped out from the run.

So there were quite a few people that actually received byes.

But for the second round, there were no more byes.

That meant that I would be facing my first opponent.
