Seeing Margaret being anxious, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile . Margaret’s performance made Zhao Hai glad . However, he didn’t say anything about it . Instead he smiled and said, “Alright, there’s no need to worry about it . The Camp Lord has reached an agreement with the Patriarch . And the Patriarch already agreed for me to use Liquid Silver . ”
When Margaret saw Zhao Hai’s confidence, she calmed down . But then her face turned red . She knew clearly that she had been naive . Since that person now knew that Zhao Hai had Liquid Silver, then it was already too late for Zhao Hai to walk away .
Moreover, her words looked like she cared for Zhao Hai . This caused her to blush . Zhao Hai looked at Margaret and said, “Margaret, thank you . Can I call you Margaret?”
Margaret discovered that she couldn’t bear to look at Zhao Hai in the eye . She lowered her head and gently nodded her head . Then she turned and ran out of the villa, not even saying goodbye .
Zhao Hai looked at Margaret’s appearance and smiled . Then his body flashed and entered the Space . Upon entering the Space, Laura and the others immediately walked over, grinning . Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai is truly fierce . You actually managed to make Margaret flee with a few words . ”
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, “I think its been a long time since I’ve dealt with all of you . And I’m feeling quite evil today . ” Then Zhao Hai waved his hand, releasing metallic ropes from Liquid Silver to tie up Laura and the others . The women screamed and seem to resist . However, they had smiles on their faces .
…………… .
The next day, the stage was filled with people once more . Zhao Hai was also in his seat . With Cadjo’s command, the computer began to roll for the participants in the first battle .
Zhao Hai just glanced at the battle and was quickly disinterested . On the other hand, the two contestants began to turn hectic . Their weapons and protective gear were swapped for better ones, causing the battle to be more dazzling .
The audience cheered for the battle . At this time, Zhao Hai also discovered that even if the battle had gone hectic, the two participants were holding back . The Camp Lords seem to have already told their members about not going extreme . The crowd’s excitement was great, but the battle was measured .
Zhao Hai saw this situation and began to feel relieved . In fact, even he didn’t want to kill people . If Luo Zhi didn’t want to take his life, then Zhao Hai might have spared him .
Battle after battle quickly went by . Zhao Hai was chosen to fight in the ninth battle . His opponent was someone from the Ghost symbol Camp . But it seems like this person had already been talked to . His gaze towards Zhao Hai didn’t have any killing intent, only a bit of provocation . Even if Dia told them to hold back, it seems like they were still not convinced .
Zhao Hai didn’t care, he looked at his opponent and then gave him a short bow as he said, “Please . ”
Zhao Hai’s opponent couldn’t help but stare . He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to be this polite . He returned the gesture and then quickly took his magic staff out .
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then waved his hand to release a formation . Then Zhao Hai said, “Concealing Fog!” The formation proceeded to blow up, covering the entire life and death stage with a dark mist .
Right after the dark mist covered the life and death stage, explosions began to be heard . However, those outside the stage were unable to see what was going on . The audience began to drink and scold . Naturally, the target of their scolding was Zhao Hai and his opponent .
After some time, the fog on the stage dispersed, revealing the stage . The two participants were still standing . However, the person from the Ghost Symbol Camp was now wearing his protective armor . Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “I admit defeat!” After declaring his surrender, he turned around and faced Cadjo, “I surrender . ” Cadjo nodded, then he opened the barrier and let the two exit the stage .
The others were very dissatisfied . However, they knew that it was useless to complain right now . They only grumbled for a few moments before proceeding to watch the next fight . Fortunately, this time, there was no such thing like Zhao Hai’s dark mist .
After this day’s battles, there would only be 18 people left . Then tomorrow, these 18 participants will be reduced to nine . The day after that, the position for tenth place would be decided . Then after the tenth position was decided, the first place would be decided by a challenge tournament!
A challenge tournament was different from a normal tournament . Normal tournaments would have its combatants decided by a computer . On the other hand, in a challenge tournament, the computer would randomly select one person . Then that person would then accept challenges from the other nine . If nobody challenges this person, then he would be crowned first place and would claim the reward for being the champion . If people challenge him and he was defeated, then the winner would replace him on the stage . This cycle would continue until 9 people are defeated and one was left .
In such a competition, only the first place would be decided . The second, third, fourth place and so on weren’t chosen . In other words, besides the first place, the other nine would have equal placement .
Desbarres and the others have also briefed the participants of this arrangement beforehand . However, Zhao Hai didn’t care much about it . He was already settled on becoming first in this competition so that the Bone Symbol Camp would rise .
The next days, the 18 participants were reduced to 9 . Naturally, Zhao Hai smoothly progressed . Although the others had their equipment changed, their strength still couldn’t match up to Zhao Hai .
Zhao Hai didn’t use too powerful formations . At most, he would use ten-layer formation sets . However, Zhao Hai’s formation sets were very powerful . Moreover, they were interchangeable . Up until this point, Zhao Hai had already used dozens of unique formation sets . This caused everyone to be startled .
One must know that the oldest ascender in this competition had ascended three years ago . At most, they could cast one or two formation sets . But now, there was Zhao Hai who showed dozens of formation sets . It was terrifying to think about .
Moreover, Zhao Hai just ascended four months ago . How was he able to get dozens of formation sets in that short time? Even those who ascended for a year would find it hard to do so!
Although the challenge tournament had yet to happen, everyone present knew that the first place holder could only be Zhao Hai . It would be impossible for the others to snatch this position .
In the past few days of battles, Zhao Hai didn’t use any weapon . He didn’t even show his magic staff nor his protective gear . He defeated everyone with his own strength . Not to say about the Ashley Family, even in the entire Machine Field, Zhao Hai should be the most powerful beginner present .
The days quickly flew past and it was finally the last day . It was the last day for the family qualifiers and the most exciting one, it was the challenge tournament!
Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the life and death stage . Besides Zhao Hai, there were two from the Ghost Symbol Camp, two from Wicked Character Camp, then the other camps had one participant each . One could see from this point how close the strength of the Ashley Family’s External Hall’s camps was .
The day of the challenge tournament was also the day where the stage had the most people . Not only did Desbarres and the others came, Margaret also went to watch . However, Margaret didn’t sit in the VIP room . Instead, she sat behind Zhao Hai’s seat where she could speak directly to Zhao Hai .
Zhao Hai didn’t expect Margaret to come . When he saw here arrive, he couldn’t help but stare . Then he asked, “Why are you here?”
Margaret looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “I want to see you compete . You need to get first place . ”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry . ”
Those who knew Margaret couldn’t help but be shocked upon seeing her interaction with Zhao Hai . Margaret’s relationship with Thunder wasn’t a secret matter in the Ashley Family . Because of this, people were clear about Margaret’s situation .
Due to how Thunder acted, Margaret had a certain resentment towards other men . She barely spoke to the opposite sex other than her elders . But now, she approached Zhao Hai . Who knew how many men threw their glasses down in sadness .
Zhao Hai also felt people’s gazes on him, but he didn’t care . He already expected this to happen .
Naturally, being in the VIP seats, Thunder was able to see everything . His eyes couldn’t help but shake as he turned to Desbarres and said, “It seems like what you said was true . Margaret indeed has a favorable impression towards Zhao Hai . Have you checked his background in the lower realms?”
It was clear that Thunder cared about Margaret . Therefore, he needed to investigate Zhao Hai’s status in the lower realm . Desbarres hastily nodded and said, “I have checked it . But Patriarch, you should know that these things aren’t necessarily accurate . What I know is that Zhao Hai is a Patriarch back in the lower realms . His clan is also a Dark Mage family . He’s also known to specialize in Dark Magic . However, he is also an all-element Mage as well as a Warrior . He’s both vicious and merciless . He uses his refining technique on people he killed . I’m afraid he had killed over a million people . Also, he has multiple wives in the lower realms . And it seems like he had a good relationship with his wives . The last time him and Margaret met, he still called her instructor . As for how it developed into this, I really don’t know . ”
Desbarres didn’t boast too much about Zhao Hai and just told what he found . He knew that Thunder hated being deceived . And if Desbarres lied, then Zhao Hai and Margaret’s development would be cut short . Zhao Hai’s merciless and vicious manner as well as his multiple wives might be a weak point to others, but this wasn’t the case for Thunder .
This was especially true for Zhao Hai’s vicious attribute . In Thunder’s eyes, this wasn’t a negative, instead it was a strong point . As for Zhao Hai’s wives, Thunder didn’t say anything . Instead, in the eyes of Thunder and Desbarres, Zhao Hai left his wives behind in the lower realms . Him getting another wife in the Machine Field wouldn’t be an issue .
Thunder nodded and said, “I didn’t expect this kid to be that kind of person . More than a million people? Hehe, great . This is the kind of person the Ashley Family needs . ”
Desbarres smiled and didn’t say anything . Thunder turned to Desbarres and said, “Take him to me later, I want to see him personally . ” Desbarres nodded .
At this time, Cadjo arrived at the stage . He looked at everyone present before he smiled and said, “After several rounds of fighting, the Ashley Family’s ten brave combatants have finally been elected . And today will be their most decisive battle, the challenge tournament! Select the first person receiving the challenge!”
The computer rolled through the participants before settling on one . Upon seeing the person chosen, Cadjo couldn’t help but stare . His smile seemed to turn wider as he announced, “The first person on stage today shall be Bone Symbol Camp’s Zhao Hai! I ask Zhao Hai to come to the stage!”
Zhao Hai didn’t expect himself to be the first person on the stage as well . However, he just nodded towards Margaret before heading to the stage .
Seeing Zhao Hai arrive on the stage, Cadjo immediately said, “Good . Now, the challenge tournament begins!” Then he proceeded to leave the stage .
Zhao Hai calmly stood on the stage . Meanwhile, the other participants couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay . They were clear about Zhao Hai’s strength, and they already knew that they cannot win against him . Because of this, the one who went first on the stage would only consume Zhao Hai’s spiritual force, making it easier for those following him .
Because the others knew about this, nobody wanted to be the first to issue the challenge . Cadjo didn’t care about this as he looked at the other participants and said, “According to the family’s rules, once a person stands on the stage for 1000 breaths then they would win . If nobody challenges Zhao Hai in 1000 breaths of time, then he will immediately claim victory . The timer starts now . ” After he said that, a timer appeared on the computer screen . It started from 1000 and slowly counted down .
The other nine knew that this wasn’t Cadjo pushing them to fight . This was a well known rule of the Ashley Family . 1000 breaths of time was neither long nor short for these people to decide . The nine had ugly expressions after seeing the number on the screen counting down . They wanted to challenge Zhao Hai, after all their equipment has been upgraded . And these people were talents in their respective camps . They weren’t afraid of Zhao Hai, they just want to fight him .
When the number on the screen reached 300 . One person could no longer keep calm . He stood up and said, “I’ll go . ” Then he stood up and went towards the stage .
Zhao Hai looked at the man and identified him as a Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp . His strength was at level 3 and his fighting prowess was very good . His weapon wasn’t a sword and instead it was a spear . This spear was long at three meters in length . If others used this kind of spear, then they might find it hard to fight . However, this person was clearly talented judging by the fact that he was able to place in the top ten .
