Chapter 54: Mysterious Kingdom – Part 1

"Our turn." Ariel had a smile showing a row of pearly white teeth.

She jumped from the stands and appeared at the stadium.

Julia sighed as she walked to the stadium.

Coming to Ariel's side, she smiled at her.

Julia felt less nervous that Ariel was together with her.

Looking around, there were so many participants in the same venue, and it's a total mess when the fighting starts. If you're not careful enough, you can get caught in the crossfire and be eliminated. Many talented youngsters end up unlucky enough to leave the qualifiers. Julia didn't want to be one of them.

"Everybody is here." Then, finally, the referee shouted, "Let the fight begin!"

By the time he finished speaking, Julia had already entered battle mode. It would only last 30 minutes if she went at full strength, but she has managed to hold for almost 1 hour. Better safe than sorry, she couldn't fully trust Ariel.

Ariel smiled as she looked at the participants. Suddenly, an overwhelming force starts to leave her body. With psychic power, she made the arms and legs of many of the weaker participants nearby break. Her smile deepened, and she started to laugh awkwardly.

"Hehehe~" Her giggle frightened the participants, sending shivers down their spines.

"Damn, she has psychic genes!" Someone screamed and ran to get away from her.

While trying to run, a jet of water hit the boy hard on the back, causing him to become a bowling pin, striking the other participants and being knocked to the ground together, with serious injuries.

"Damn, she's coming this way!" A young man with a group of 4 people from the same school screamed in alarm.

Ariel's smile was full of malevolence as she approached.

The participants ran away from her worse than little girls against an insect. Their fear of her was no less than what the participants felt of Amon. In reality, it could be even more since she seemed to enjoy seeing the participants injured and her giggling that, despite being cute, was hair-raising.

Julia continued to support Ariel. But, to tell the truth, she was calmer, she was even feeling sorry for the participants who were taken by Ariel. Some were even 'invited' to spin in the air by Ariel's psychic powers and threw up a lot. It was a horror show with participants throwing up, making other participants throw up because of the stench.

"Cruel!"

"This girl is a devil!"

"My God, look how much she's enjoying this..."

Shivering in fear, some resorted to running off the stadium platform, giving up when they saw Ariel was chasing them.

Other stronger contestants just wanted to defeat the weaker contestants and finish the round as quickly as possible to get away from this demon.

Julia made some contributions, but since everyone was running away from Ariel, she didn't get to take action very often. Luckily it was just tryouts, and she didn't need to score points or anything like that, or else she'd have to go it alone.

In the stands, Maisa shuddered and muttered, "She's too cruel. If I match against her, I'd rather give up. I do not want to be tortured by her."

"..." Barbara nodded. She thought the same. It wasn't worth fighting her; it was asking to be tortured.

On the other hand, Amon preferred to fight someone like Ariel, as she was strong compared to the other participants. At least she would be able to give him a good challenge.

Minutes later, the round ended and, because of Ariel's participation, it was faster than usual for the remaining 100 participants, passing through the qualifiers.

Julia had a dull smile, she didn't expect this, she couldn't even believe she was so nervous at first.

.

.

Nearly midnight, all groups finished the qualifiers.

"Very well." The referee shouted, excited, "We announce the end of the qualifiers. Tomorrow begins the next stage. Don't be late, or you'll lose by WO."

"Let's go." Professor Flávia said indifferently with a cold expression as she commanded the students to follow her.

Even though all the students made it through the qualifiers, she didn't show much reaction, she was acting normal.

.

.

After arriving at Flávia's friend's farm, Amon, Julia, Maisa, Ariel, and Barbara talk a little before going to sleep.

As for the other students, they didn't care. Since Elijah was someone they despised, while Maicon only cared about Ariel, but she didn't care about him. While the other two students, well, they were more into their own group and didn't try to talk to them.

The next morning, Amon and the rest woke up early.

After breakfast, teacher Flávia took them to a different place.

The vice-principal and Professor Acerola were together.

.

.

Arriving, they stopped in front of a mysterious realm. It was a place used by geniuses for testing. Within the mysterious realm, there were many ferocious animals, many even surpassing 50 genes.

This location was an excellent opportunity to find good resources, and of course, it was to defeat animals, thus earning points needed to move to the next round.

"Many already know, but I'll be explaining." The mayor was refereeing again, he said as he looked at the participants: "This is a mysterious realm, it is life-threatening, but if you get seriously injured, you will be expelled from the mysterious realm. That said, those who are scared can give up now."

Seeing that none of them gave up, he continued: "Well then, I'm glad you all are brave. Now, I'll explain how the next round works. It's very simple; when you enter, each one of you will have a device that will calculate the amount of points you got by defeating the animals within the mysterious realm. Oh yes, if you defeat other participants, the points will be transferred to the one who won."

"..."

Upon hearing this, some looked at the other participants with cruelty.

There are many who would rather fight other humans than go against animals. Some even planned to follow participants and expect them to get hurt by fighting the animals and then defeat them, thus earning their points.

After that, the referee explained how many points each animal gives.

With all that said, the mysterious realm was opened by people who had 2 genetic factors.

Genetic factor: When you complete filling out your genetics and go through baptism, it is called a genetic factor.

Amon, Julia, Maisa, Ariel, and Barbara entered together.

Other groups also entered together, and very few entered alone.

After entering, Amon and the rest realized that they were in a place very similar to the mountain, full of trees, with the cleanest air, grass, and even the smell of water. So there must be some lake nearby.

"Let's go." Amon led the way.

Each group was teleported to random places, and, at the moment, there were no participants close to them.

At that moment, Amon stopped short. He spat his words out coldly, "Stop."

Amon immediately stopped in place with a serious expression.

"Amon, what's wrong?" Barbara asked in confusion. She didn't notice anything unusual.

Amon frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Barbara's eyes suddenly widened as she looked away, "This pressure is so powerful!" she exclaimed.

"This aura is ferocious. Is this a wild animal with over 50 genetics populated?" Ariel showed a rare serious look.

In this region, there may be beings whose power was greater than 50 genetics filled. However, some weaker ones appeared nearby; no wonder they felt so much pressure.

"Let's go out." Amon, although he wanted to fight powerful beings, going against so many was suicide.

"Yes."

The girls weren't against it, so they walked away from that place.
