1428 I would like to see just how far the so-called ‘best of the best’ can push .
"All of you who do not believe that I am qualified to beco my Master's disciple, I will wait for you in the tournant.
And to show you how huge the difference between the two of us is,
I announce that I will admit defeat if I cannot defeat my opponent within 10 moves."
Seeing a young boy they had never seen before claiming sothing like that on that big screen that was shown all over the two dinsions, the people couldn't help but stare at the scenery with wide eyes.
"Did I hear that right…?"
"W-What… did he say…?"
"10 Moves…?"
"That bastard… is he looking down on us!?"
No one knew who raised his voice, however, once it started, the entirety of the two dinsions, especially the Low Order, turned chaotic.
"You bastard! Who do you think you are!?"
"Defeat us within 10 moves!? Make sure you rember those words!"
"We will make sure you swallow those words and apologize publicly!"
"I will make you regret ever saying those words!"
"I will make you regret being born!!"
"I will tear you into pieces you bastard!!"
Roars filled with anger were heard all over the Low Order. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Demons, Beastn, Dragons, and Vampires, everyone ca together to face a single 'enemy'.
They wanted to destroy this arrogant man. They wanted to wipe that smirk off his face.
And as if he could hear and see their reactions clearly, Nux simply smiled with a disdainful look on his face, then, "You people call yourself the cream of the crop, the best of the best, correct? I heard only the best from the Yrniel are recruited into the Ancestral Order, I would like to see just how far the so-called 'best of the best' can push .
Do not disappoint ."
"That arrogant bastard!!"
"To think soone who ca out of nowhere would react so arrogantly!"
"Tsk, this is what happens when you interact with a country bumpkin, their lack of general knowledge makes them annoying to talk to. Frogs in the well."
"Just because his cultivation speed is higher than average, he thinks he is at the top of the world. He doesn't even understand the fact that the very speed he is so proud of is also his biggest weakness.
After all, unlike him, who only had 22 years to beco an Emperor, the opponents he will face will be much older. He has already lost when it ca to battle experience."
"Heh, of course, the opponents he will be facing would be people who have been fighting before he was even born. He is bound to lose!"
As the people in the Low Order continued to curse Nux, the screens that were hovering all over the dinsions finally disappeared. Compared to the people in the Low Order, the people from the Higher Order were slightly calr.
They were older, so so of them could see what Lady Aeliana was trying to do, the fact that as beings above Divine Stage, they couldn't be involved in this matter even if they wanted to, this allowed them to look at things from a neutral and more logical perspective.
…
Back in Aeliana's office, seeing that the orb in Aeliana's hand had stopped shining, Nux realized that the 'broadcasted show' had ended.
He then glanced at his master and,
"Are you satisfied, my 'dear' master?"
Of course, he didn't forget to copy Aeliana and focus on the word 'dear' as he called her. Aeliana understood what the child in front of her was trying to do and just chuckled, "Are you sure that you have made a correct decision? You have basically antagonized the entire Low Order."
"Is that not what you wanted from the beginning?"
"…"
Aeliana didn't say anything.
Announcing that defeating Nux would allow the challenger to beco her new disciple would obviously attract a lot of attention and induce rivalry against him into the hearts of almost all the emperors and even higher-stage cultivators.
Nux wasn't wrong when he said that Aeliana planned it all from the beginning, she wanted to stimulate competition amongst the younger generations so that more and more elites would appear in the future.
At the sa ti, Nux, the unpolished gem she had taken in would also not lack strong opponents to fight against and continuously push past his limits.
It was a perfect plan that would benefit everyone and seeing that a 20-year-old understood her intent, Aeliana couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
"To challenge thousands of strong cultivators at the sa ti so arrogantly, I have to say, that confidence is quite charming."
"That's a big complint, especially when it is coming from the 'Goddess' who reigns over so many devotees." Nux laughed.
Aeliana wasn't offended, she was only curious, "But are you sure you can do what you claid? You have made things unnecessarily complicated for yourself.
Or… is it that you do not wish to be my disciple in the first place and it is your way to get out of this situation?"
"Heh."
Hearing those words, Nux laughed out. Then, he looked into Aeliana's crimson eyes and, "My 'dear' master, you underestimate your charm.
Only a fool would purposefully distance himself from you.
Now that you have made the mistake of choosing , I will be sticking with you till you get tired of and throw away.
And trust , if you wish to throw away, this little tournant is far from enough.
Those so-called challengers, I will destroy them to the point they would think countless tis before they ever dare to challenge again.
And by the ti they gather their courage to challenge once again, I will have reached a level far beyond they could ever comprehend."
"Look at you, acting all confident." Aeliana chuckled. Seeing the intense look in Nux's eyes, she was taken aback, however, she wasn't an inexperienced little girl, as soone who had interacted with millions of beings, she knew how to carry herself in every situation.
"I wonder where your confidence originates from." She muttered out loud.
"Past events," Nux answered.
"Hm?" Aeliana looked into the boy's eyes and,
"My confidence originates from past events, Aeliana. I know I will be crushing my opponents because that is what I have been doing all my life, I know I will bring despair to my enemies because that is what I have been doing all my life, I know I will grow so quickly that I will leave all my today's rivals so far behind that they would never even attempt to surpass because… That is what I have been doing all my life.
And this is not going to change now that I am here."
"I really wish to bring your arrogance down a notch," Aeliana comnted.
"Heh." Nux, however, just laughed out loud and didn't say anything.
"Anyways, you have a year before the tournant begins, what do you plan to do? Do you wish to train under or… do you have a plan of your own?"
"Star Beasts… I wish to hunt Star Beasts…
Send to a place where there are countless star beasts, the level of the beasts doesn't matter.
I have read that there are different dinsions connected to Yrniel where ti flows differently.
Send to one of those dinsions."
"The Beasts in such dinsions are too strong," Aeliana spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"As I said, the strength of the beasts doesn't matter."
"Limit your arrogance, Nux."
"Please trust , Master. I am not weak." Nux replied, looking right into Aeliana's eyes.
Aeliana stared at him for a while, then, she decided to trust her disciple.
…
6 hours later, Aeliana received a guest.
"I didn't think you would co."
Aeliana spoke with a slight smile on her face.
"You didn't think we would just stay silent, especially after that interesting show you made us watch, did you?"
An extrely beautiful woman with crystal blue eyes questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"Hahaha~ I didn't think that kid would be able to grab Lady Faustina's attention."
"Well, I am quite bored these days," Faustina admitted.
Soon, she shook her head and, "Anyways, as you know, I am not exactly known for my patience, where is that boy? I wish to et him."
"Well, he is currently training in Waranal," Aeilana answered.
"Waranal?" Faustina raised her eyebrow.
"Isn't that considered cheating? He will have 25 years while his challengers would only have 1 year to train."
"Don't be this ruthless, Lady Aeliana. That child is already far behind in terms of experience compared to others. Cut him so slack.
Also, I never restricted other cultivators from using other dinsions to train, did I?"
"Look at you taking your disciple's side so quickly. You seem so protective of him." Faustina chuckled.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Doesn't seem that way considering you turned him into a public enemy and have now sent him to a place filled with countless strong Star Beasts.
You are quite a spartan huh…" Faustina comnted.
"I didn't think I had this side in either."
Aeliana just smiled.
next chapter in few hours.
