“Hahaha!” Polaris roared in laughter.
Indeed, he underestimated James’ strength. However, there was no way he could defeat him within ten rounds.
Lifting the staff in his hand, a powerful aura exuded from his body which permeated the surroundings. At that moment, even the air seemed to be frozen.
“Blizzard.”
He waved his staff.
The heavy snow suddenly changed course and swept toward James. Though soft and fluffy, the snowflakes possessed great force, with each of them carrying destructive power.
James smiled. “Petty tricks.”
Holding the Blade of Justice, he waded through the snowstorm. In the eyes of the crowd, they could only see a figure disappearing only to reappear again, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Before they could figure out what was going on, James had appeared in mid-air, and the Blade of Justice was already pressed against Polaris’ chest.
“What?”
The composed look on Polaris disappeared only to be replaced by shock and fear.
James’ speed far surpassed his eyes. Before he could see James, the Blade of Justice was already pressed against his chest. If James was serious, his body would have been pierced by the sword.
“That’s all you’ve got?”
Looking at the stunned Polaris, whose forehead was beaded with sweat, he said coldly, “I didn’t even use my full strength. Aren’t you a little too weak?”
Polaris remained silent. He was not weak. After all, he was ranked third on the Elysian Ranking. How could he be weak? James was simply too strong.
Below, the crowd’s mouths were agape.
From the moment James demonstrated unbelievable strength, they thought it would be an even match. They did not expect things to turn out this way. With just a single move, Polaris was defeated. If James had chosen not to spare him, his body would have been pierced by the Blade of Justice.
Watching this from afar, Lucjan’s expression turned grim. He murmured, “How terrifying… He has only crossed into the seventh rank during the Mount Thunder Conference. Over the span of two months, he’s crossed into the eighth rank.”
Lucjan knew how strong James was the moment he struck. His speed definitely belonged to an eighth- rank grandmaster. Only an eighth-rank grandmaster would possess a speed that could elude the untrained eye of a seventh-rank grandmaster.
“How on earth did he cultivate? Did he also obtain a Spirit Turtle core?”
Crossing into the eighth rank was an almost impossible feat. Even the legendary Callan Maverick required a few decades. Meanwhile, James took only two months to accomplish just that. Lucjan speculated that James must have obtained a Spirit Turtle core. That was why he was able to reach the eighth rank in such a short amount of time.
“He has to die.”
Lucjan’ face darkened.
Meanwhile, Thea had been watching the battle while healing her injuries. Seeing that James defeated Polaris with ease, a smile crept up on her face, and she said, “He’s still as strong as ever.”
On the battlefield…
Polaris gradually calmed down after the initial shock.
His expression was solemn.
A hundred years ago, he was defeated in Sol. After being in closed-door meditation for a century, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds. Though he was not invincible, few could defeat him.
Now, he was defeated in a single round. Faced against this young man from Sol, he did not even stand a chance.
“W-Who are you?”
Looking at James, he asked.
James sheathed the Blade of Justice and said smilingly, “Didn’t I tell you already? My name’s James. Since you’re defeated, I hope you’ll hold up your end of the bargain.”
“Defeated? Impossible… How can this be? How did an insolent brat like you manage to defeat me?”
