Jarod saw Aric. The rage in his heart was getting out of control. The anger he had for Aric was surging.
Aric was the one who made Sylvia question him.
Aric was the one who took his mother from him.
Aric was the one who made him impotent.
He knew this opponent of his was his ultimate enemy.
"For me, it is most important to eliminate Aric in this match or at the least make him miserable enough that he won't stand up again," Jarod thought to himself. "And about the consequences? It won't affect me much as I will become the Holy Son as well as the future patriarch."
He knew Aric was stronger than him in terms of cultivation, but he believed his Primal Chaos Physique and his skills would compensate for this. He still had a trump card: his master.
Earlier that morning, Jarod had a conversation with his master, Ryan Chen. In his secluded training chamber, Jarod bowed deeply before the ethereal form of his master, who resided within a mystical ring.
"Master, today is the day of the competition," Jarod said respectfully. "I know Aric is strong, but I am determined to win."
Ryan Chen nodded, his eyes filled with a mix of pride and concern. "Jarod, remember, you have trained hard for this moment. Use your skills wisely, and if things go awry, I will be here to assist you."
"Master, there is a rule in the competition that external interference is not allowed. So, how you will help me?" Jarod asked
"Don't worry. I have strong stealth skills. No body will be able to detect my presence. You should focus on your fight.", Ryan answered.
"Thank you, Master. Your guidance means everything to me," Jarod replied, feeling a surge of confidence.
Aric was fuming as he entered the stage. The sight of Jarod only intensified his anger.
He remembered the ever since Jarod got the opportunity to meet Ryan chen, he always suffered defeat from Jarod.
Although that was the previous host but still those memories had become a part of him.
He remembered all the times Jarod had bested him, the way he had always seemed to have the upper hand. Today, Aric was determined to change that. His eyes burned with a fierce determination to crush his rival once and for all.
As Aric entered the stage, he greeted Jarod, a mocking smile on his lips. The crowd was buzzing with excitement, eager to see the clash between these two formidable opponents. The referee also came forward to announce the rules.
"The match has a few rules."
"First, no one can use more than two talismans."
"Second, if any participant is out of the arena, the other person will be declared the winner. "
"Third, no lethal force is to be used."
"Fourth, external interference will result in immediate disqualification."
"Fifth, all participants must adhere to the principles of fair play and honor."
With the sound of a large trumpet, the match began. The atmosphere was electric, and both fighters took their stances, ready to unleash their full potential. The battle for the title of Holy Son had officially commenced, and the fate of the Lei family hung in the balance.
The tension in the arena was palpable as Jarod and Aric faced each other. The crowd fell silent, every eye glued to the combatants. The atmosphere was electric, a palpable anticipation hanging in the air. The two opponents stood in the center of the arena, eyes locked, each sizing up the other.
As the trumpet blast faded, both fighters sprang into action. Jarod moved first, utilizing his Shadow Step Technique to close the distance between them in an instant. His form blurred, and he reappeared behind Aric, launching a powerful Asura Slash aimed at his back.
Aric, however, was prepared. With a swift pivot, he parried the strike with his Heavenly Jade Sword, the clash of metal echoing through the arena. Sparks flew as their weapons met, the force of the impact sending shockwaves through the air.
"You're not the only one who's been training, Jarod," Aric sneered, pushing back against the force of Jarod's attack.
"And you're not the only one with a few tricks up his sleeve," Jarod shot back, his eyes blazing with determination.
The crowd was on the edge of their seats, gasping and cheering with each exchange.
"Did you see that move?" one spectator exclaimed. "Jarod's really holding his own!"
"Aric's not going easy on him," another replied. "This is anyone's match!"
The match had just begun but everyone knew this was going to be the most exciting match of the competition.

I did not know, how fast we reached Chapter 30. While writing initially, my idea for this novel was not even fully developed. It was a very small idea but as time progressed, more ideas began to emerge and here we are.
As this is my first novel, if you find any mistake, just point it out in the comments and i will try to accommodate those changes.
