Chapter 538 Lothur's Match 1

Everyone saw the result of Elke's match, but they were shocked at how strong this descendant of the Becker family had become.

'How is this possible?' Caroline Waldeaur thought to herself, open-mouthed. 'Just a short time ago, Elke was a 1st Transformation cultivator! How could she have become so strong and have such a stable foundation?'

Meanwhile, Caroline's great friend, Nora, level 10, had her fists clenched, feeling envious of that woman who was likely to take the Soul Bone from them, competitors in Sector 4.

'Damn! Why are the women related to Lothur so strong?' Nora wondered as she looked at Erich, unconscious but with blood coming out of his facial cavities.

Meanwhile, after announcing the battle's outcome, the match referee went to Erich's fallen body, concerned about this young man's condition.

Erich was only a level 11 cultivator, while Elke was level 13 and had clearly gone heavy on her movement.

So he would soon look in the direction of the academy director, who was also watching the event, expressing that this competitor's situation was serious.

The academy doctors then rushed over, making the other House Baier students tremble in fear of what might happen to the strongest descendant of the youngest generation of that family.

"He... He's dying!" One of the doctors said as he noticed that the organs in the region that Elke's foot had touched were all liquefied, totally crushed.

Luis got up from his seat and went to the side of Erich's unconscious body while Lothur watched from afar with his visual ability what had happened.

'That was a pretty strong kick...' He praised his wife in his mind, seeing that unless a 3-star doctor showed up in the next few minutes, Erich would die.

Luis looked at Elke, who was already coming down the stairs of the combat stage and sighed.

He didn't like losing students, even more so in the middle of an academy competition. But this tournament allowed deaths, so there was nothing he could do to penalize Elke for that.

As he stared at her, the Baier family members shouted, calling for justice.

"Murderer!"

"Elke, you slut, you will pay for this!"

"Teachers, punish this woman! She did it on purpose. I'm sure she did it on purpose!"

Lothur looked in the direction of the boldest people among those students, emitting his Mortal Aura as black flames appeared in his hands.

He then jumped from where he was until he reached the person who called Elke a slut, causing the ability of his second Soul Bone to invade that person's body. 'You will pay for talking such nonsense...'

As Lothur silently dominated that person, Luis appeared beside him, preventing him from doing anything else.

But Lothur had already done what he wanted and returned to his place in silence.

After a few moments, Erich died, and the stands of that arena went into a convulsion, with everyone fearing to fight Elke, this woman who did not know how to control her own powers.

But it wouldn't be long before the fighting would continue, and something shocking would happen once again.

When one of the Baier family members went to fight for Sector 3 after winning his match, he immediately challenged another competitor from this family.

The people in the arena didn't quite understand what was happening. Still, after his opponent accepted the match, the two fought for over 20 minutes, brutally attacking each other.

The individual who had called Elke a slut fought bravely, and even though he was not the strongest, he managed to kill his opponent before falling unconscious due to the severe damage to his body.

In the end, instead of a winner, the challenge match had two dead, a significant loss for the Baier family!

Everyone more or less would blame Lothur for this. Still, without proof of how he could have done such a thing, many would just talk about the coincidence of that young man being touched by him doing such extreme things after that.

Only those who knew Lothur best, his wives and the youths of the Ice Feathers council, would understand what had happened.

...

By late afternoon, many matches had taken place, and now in each sector, less than 50 students were left to compete in the final part of this short tournament.

However, in the last battle of the day, coincidentally, Lothur and Larissa, the two strongest in the academy, would face each other!

When the draw showed who should fight, the two looked at each other, and without delay, they took to the battle stage, causing the whole arena to fall silent.

That was the battle everyone was waiting for to remove their doubts about the competition's winner for the vacancy in Sector 6.

Many felt Lothur was stronger than Larissa, for he had beaten two Transcendents. But some thought he only got this result because his opponents were taken by surprise.

Larissa had prepared well to fight him and, already at the beginning of the battle, would try to protect herself as much as possible from the speed and power of Lothur's fists. So many expected a more even battle, with a chance for either of the two to become the big winner.

"You can't beat me that easily, Lothur," Larissa said to him as she stood on the other side of the battle stage, waiting for the match referee's signal to begin. "You can't use your weapons and support items. At the same time, you don't have the element of surprise on your side. Then I will win!"

"Really?" Lothur laughed, knowing that facing her without his many support items would not be easy but that he had the advantage. "Let me see how much of your will is here to help you! I assure you that mine is enough for me to acquire that Soul Bone!"

With those words, Lothur activated his Soul Bone abilities, causing his hands to appear covered in black flames while his eyes glowed. At the same time, the Mortal Aura appeared once again, emitting a sensation that would make anyone below level 17 feel threatened.

Larissa felt it but kept her guard up while the match referee trembled, looking at Lothur as if he were in the presence of a monster.

He then signaled for the match to begin, not wanting to be around that silver-haired fellow for too long.

With this signal, Larissa immediately activated her techniques and Soul Bone, causing a sort of glowing green armor to appear on various parts of her body.

At the same time, the spiritual energy in the surroundings condensed into several small, jagged fish, which seemed to be in a sea, circling her surroundings, waiting for her orders.

Lothur saw this and waited no longer, starting to move as he fired the first shot of his laser sight at one of Larissa's shoulders.

Ssss!

A red beam of concentrated, burning energy shot out of his eyes, quickly making its way toward the body of the beautiful white-haired woman.

The surroundings of the arena breathed tense at that moment, seeing the beginning of what would be the most hotly contested, high-level battle in this city in a long time!
