chapter 1710: intense gazes



xaden stood under the foot, unable to move out of the way. given the momentum at which the foot was coming, it was almost certain that xaden would receive serious injuries once this attack connected.

the elders stood up, and one of them had an agitated look on his face. he's one of the few peak sovereigns present there. and xaden was his precious student, there's no way he'd allow anyone to seriously injure his student, especially given the war that was coming.nôv(el)b\\jnn

he wanted to make a move, but then he sensed a dangerous gaze locking onto him. it was that of lord dante. those from the pyrmond faction didn't react. it's not that they couldn't, but they already knew how lord dante was, being someone who hates it when others bully the weak, there's no way he would stand for this, especially given how xaden was the one who challenged grey. if grey had been the one who challenged xaden, then he'd have felt maybe grey's attack was of ill intent, but grey was the one challenged, and he naturally had to fight back.

back on the platform.

just as grey's foot was about to land on xaden's face, it stopped.

grey looked down at xaden and asked nicely, "still not admitting defeat?"

xaden didn't expect grey to show mercy as he was prepared for whatever the outcome of the attack even though he knew there's no way he could deal with it without getting injured.

"i..." he dropped his head, his eyes moving from place to place, his voice dropped down and he finally managed to get the words out of his mouth, although his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "i surrender."

he once again sensed a familiar gaze, and turning to the same far north of the arena, he saw the slender figure staring at him once again. this time, he could tell that there's a difference in the gaze. it was as if the burning gaze wanted to cut a hole in his body. the figure was too focused on trying to sense grey's abilities that she failed to see that his eyes were locked on hers.

she froze momentarily, and with an awkward smile, she nodded at him before turning her focus back to the platform.

grey could feel a lot of eyes on his body, but hers were one of the ones that drew his attention. after turning his attention away from her, his gaze trailed in the direction of where he felt the next strongest gaze, and to his surprise, it was his previous opponent, matilda.

seeing grey look in her direction, she winked with a sly grin before turning towards the platform as well.

a worrying smile appeared on grey's face, but he didn't think too much about it. he'll be leaving this place in a bit. he was curious about the essence vein, but he didn't think he needed it all that much. he'd rather go outside and investigate the necromancer's camp that's close to the entrance of the pyro world.

that would be more interesting compared to sitting in one place and trying to improve his cultivation stage which he could improve when he's outside.

he also sensed a lot of eyes from the area where the elders were seated.

'i wonder how difficult these guys will be.' he thought to himself as he looked at the duo fighting.

time went by and the number of people in the seventh stage of the sovereign plane was reducing.
