Chapter 123 The fights continue
Chapter 123 The fights continue
In block B , Percy was progressing smoothly as he won the first fight with ease. Contrary to Ronan Percy hid his strength deeply as he took a full 12 minutes to defeat his enemy.
Percy’s opponent was a noble who was level 84. Had he decided to even go at 60% of his total strength he could have easily defeated his opponent in a matter of seconds , however he chose not to.
Intelligently attacking and defending, Percy made sure to not reveal a single one of his special moves as he defeated his opponent through only hand to hand combat without even using his elemental affinity.
Percy’s team included Augustus , Leif , the chief medical officer from the palace and lieutenant Garp.
Leif was the chief strategist while Augustus was his coach . The teams strategy was for Percy to hide his cards for as long as possible and appear to be as weak as possible in the early fights before surprising everyone later on.
Percy actually followed the advice of his team and played accordingly as although many eyes were fixated on the hometown crown prince , after the first match not many felt him to be a top spot contender.
Similar to Ronan , Percy’s first question after ending his fight was ‘ What happened to Ronan? ‘ as the two brothers rejoiced that the other had also won their fights..
In group B as the fights progressed , Leif flagged 3 people as extremely dangerous.
1. A level 120 warrior by the name of ‘ Zimo ‘ , from the number one sect in the region the ‘ Heaven chaser sect ‘.
A superior light elemental user who was a 6 and a half star talent and the strongest warrior in terms of levels in the competition at age 17.
2. A level 102 warrior by the name of ‘ Diago’ from the number two sect in the region the ‘ Howling Wolves sect ‘
A 7 star talent with unbelievable agility and a semi beast transformation form that boosted all his capabilities.
An earth elemental user by nature
Although not the highest levelled player , he was definitely a menace .
3. A level 113 level warrior by the name ‘ Palkia ‘ from the ‘ Raging winds sect ‘ , the same one whose junior brother Ronan obliterated was a top contender in Percy’s block.
With unseen wind abilities and an excellent attack power , Palkia was by far the most stable player in the competition with an orthodox and effective fighting style.
All 3 of which were potential contenders vying for the top spot , add Percy Draco to the equation and it became a fatal four-way for the top!
*********
( Ronan’s side )
On Ronan’s side principal chanakya also pulled a list of the most promising contestants to lookout for .
A level 119 warrior by the name ‘ Bob ‘ was an excellent fire elemental warrior who was apparently a surname less orphan .
Raised by the number 3 sect the ‘ Fiery flames sect ‘ after being tested as a 6 and a half star prodigy , he was the lead disciple of the younger generation.
A level 117 warrior by the name ‘ Rudolph a.k.a Maddog ‘ was one of the wildest fighters in the tournament .
From the number 7 sect the ‘ Dao Of humility ‘ sect , he was a commoner that had immense amount of hatred for all nobles.
All of his matches against noble opponents ended in a brutal beatdown of his opponents as he beat them until they surrendered or an inch to his death.
Nicknamed the maddog for his unruly behaviour and disgusting tongue , he was a rabid dog out to bite all nobles.
The last opponent that chanakya flagged was a level 101 newbie who was extremely silent and mysterious with an impeccable defense.
From the monk sect of ‘ Buddha’s Palm ‘ , He was a bald monk who specialised in the Taoist style of fighting as he specialised in the earth elemental affinity , although he also had a dual affinity with plants and nature .
Although chanakya flagged them as danger , in his heart he knew that none of the three could actually pose a threat to the monster named Ronan Draco .
With 4 fights , 4 wins and a total fighting time of 1 minute 4 seconds , Ronan was currently the number one contender on everyone’s list as all the teams were wary of facing this monster.
With his first opponent unable to continue in the tournament and the second and third severely injured while number 4 being knocked unconscious.
Opponents 5 and 6 for the day decided to surrender to Ronan without a fight as his day 1 concluded with 6 straight victories and 4 fights without suffering any injuries.
Although this was not part of the strategy , chanakya was pleasantly pleased to see that Ronan’s fear started to make opponents surrender before the fight , reducing his load and physical strain significantly.
This was an unforeseen benefit of him showing off too much , as now his reputation helped him avoid needless hassles.
Hence team Ronan ended day 1 on a positive note and without anyone having to work much at all , as Ronan had to spar with general Sam after his fights ended to lessen his frustration over facing such weak opponents.
The crowd on arena A was convinced that their prince was the strongest and the hype for day 2 hence became unreal.
Everyone wanted to see Ronan rise to the top and bring glory to their country , and hence the ticket sales for day 2 for arena A sold out instantly after day 1 ended.
Percy also won all 6 of his fights on day one , but unlike Ronan he had to fight all 6 of them with him averaging 15 minutes a match and suffering minor bruise to his left shoulder after an opponents attack scrapped his slightly.
However overall even he was fit and prim with no major injuries to show for , and hence the first day ended to be incredibly productive for both the Draco brothers.
