Chapter 2424
My Substitute CEO Bride
The next day, the competition proceeded as usual. Anox and Kalo continued their winning streak, and Teresa also secured a victory shortly after.
The three of them then made their way to the spectator seats.
"Chevy's sure taking his time," Kalo remarked in surprise.
Chevy was known for his strategy of defeating opponents in a single move, so they were somewhat accustomed to his approach. Rather than probing his opponents directly, he preferred to observe and predict their abilities and next moves.
The three-person battle format was undoubtedly Chevy's favorite. He was not in a rush to attack; instead, he let the other two clash first while he used his abilities to stay hidden.
On the battlefield, the participants' ranks were displayed:
[Chevy Wood: Mystique Loyalty Realm.
[Devan Carver: Mystique Loyalty Realm.
[Enid Goode: Aura Refining Realm, level one.]
Chevy was surprised by the rankings.
"Enid? Goode? Aura Refining Realm, level one? Really? This person's clearly strong, but why..."
In the arena, Devan was relentlessly pursuing Enid. Clearly, he noticed her low realm ranking and thought if he eliminated her first, he would have a solid chance in a one-on-one match against someone at his level.
However, something felt off.
Devan was also puzzled. His martial arts skills were solid, but no matter what he did, he could not land a hit on Enid.
"What's going on?"
Devan pulled back to put some distance between himself and Enid, keeping a close eye on her.
Meanwhile, Enid crouched on the ground while holding her head and trembling uncontrollably. She was even shedding tears.
"What's going on?"
Just then, he felt a gust of wind and flipped backward to evade it.
"Did the other fighter make a move? No, I still don't sense the other person's true energy. If they had attacked, I would've detected it. So, the attacker must be... this timid girl?"
Devan was not entirely surprised. This region was known for its bizarre martial artists, so he had considered the possibility of encountering such situations.
"I think I get it now." Devan picked up a small rock from the ground and threw it at Enid.
Sure enough, without even realizing it, Enid's body moved on its own. The rock was deflected just before it could hit her.
"So, that's it. This girl is also an immortal disciple? But... what's going on with her now? She doesn't initiate attacks and just lets the power inside her protect her?"
Enid squeezed her eyes shut, trembling even more.
Chevy also noticed Enid's unique behavior; it was clear she possessed a power similar to his own.
"Is she a newcomer? But her state right now is so strange. It's like... like..." Devan realized that simply using martial arts would not be effective against her. However, he had another technique in his repertoire.
The East District of the Northern Territory was a peculiar place.
The power of the immortals came from immortal spirits, which, strictly speaking, was still a natural force rather than divine power.
There were others who strengthened their bodies using the natural energy that saturated the area, achieving a purer form of godly power.
"Soul Sacrifice." Devan's left hand began to glow with markings resembling lightning.
"The Skyland Sun Technique!"
Devan unleashed a powerful punch. As expected, the attack was effective.
