Chapter 176 The First Match Of The Last Days...

Even the chiefs watching could not believe what they had just heard.

No matter how anyone was going to look at this, this was indeed a very harsh decision. Firstly, it was general knowledge that Chiron did not have cultivation.

After all, the crystal ball just proved it.

If there was a mistake, he could potentially die.

Chief Dona and some other elders were aware of how hard Chiron had trained his physical body, and that in itself was very impressive. But all that effort regardless of what he had achieved was basically meaningless in the face of the power of a cultivator.

In the beginning, the difference between his strength and that of a wood-ranked cultivator was not very much but no matter what, it was definitely going to be different if he fought with a cultivator at the stone rank.

It was like the sky and the top of a tree.

Just one hit from Jan Jan would blow a normal human being away.

In other words, death was assured.

It would have even been better if Chiron had challenged any one of the cultivators that had wood rank cultivation. But he had to just push his luck and go for the big leagues.

Even the chief of the cutlass clan could not help it but burst into laughter.

He was the chief of a clan of acclaimed madmen, but even he had not seen this kind of madness before.

It was just unheard of.

Not just him, but every person thought the same thing.

It was either Chiron was a madman looking for how to die a quick death or a stupid man that had allowed his achievements so far to cloud his brain.

Whispers formed all around the place as Chief Dona sat in silence.

By right, Chiron should be allowed to fight. Especially since he was recognized officially as a cultivator.

But this was practically suicide.

What's more, the request had been before the chief of the clan.

It almost looked like a test or a set-up.

If Chief Dona allowed this to happen, it would look like he was allowing a clan member to send himself to death. This was practically suicide.

But then again, if he didn't, that would mean that he was not respecting the traditions that held the Gathering of the Sword Clans together.

It would also mean that he was not resecting Chiron's decision as a cultivator.

Elder Harden had also heard the request and he turned to Chief Dona.

If Chief Dona did not permit it, then it was not going to happen.

After all, as the Chief of the clan hosting the event this time around, his say was the law.

As the crowd murmured ever so silently, Nora could not help but carry a worried expression on her face.

This was the same thing for Zi who was also watching. Regardless of what had happened a few days ago at Chiron's house, she still had feelings for him.

At the moment, she was in the audience. Till this moment, her cultivation was very low.

After all, she had C-grade Dantain.

She was still struggling with cultivation at the middle stage of the wood rank.

Even though she was eligible to participate, she rather watched.

When she had seen that Chiron walked with the participants into the Arena, she was surprised, but secretly still wished well for him.

She had seen his strength once before.

She knew that regardless of the fact that he did not have cultivation, he was always working hard.

Once more, she felt ashamed of herself.

Truly, she did not believe that she was deserving of his love.

But that did not mean that she was okay with him dying.

Chiron also turned to Chief Dona. He needed his answer from that man.

Chief Dona sighed softly.

However, his eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of his brother who was Chiron's father.

Aleen looked at chief Dona.

Both of them never got along. Or rather, both had not gotten along since that incident that separated them and broke their bond.

But even Chief Dona had to look in Aleen's direction.

Lastly, there was also the fact that Chiron was a hidden weapon of the ground.

Aleen from his set within the audience nodded lightly.

Chief Dona instantly understood that Aleen had given his permission.

Chief Dona nodded at Harden, and Harden declared loudly, "Chiron of the Chikitsa Clan Challenges Jan Jan of the Chikitsa Clan. Jan Jan do you accept?"

Jan Jan could not believe this.

This, in his ears, was an insult to his person.

Firstly, Chiron was his junior, and then Chiron was also a nobody in his eyes.

meanwhile, he could also hear the whispers all around him.

Many people thought that maybe Chiron was trying to get back at Jan Jan for what he did to him some months ago at the Bureau for cultivators.

If it was that event that nearly threatened Chiron's life, then it would make sense that Chiron wanted revenge.

Jan Jan frowned. This was a total embarrassment to him.

He had planned on fighting those so-called geniuses and wanted the seven clans to know his name with this event. He had come prepared.

But here was the junior to his former rival challenging him to a fight.

Jan Jan knew that he could not refuse. If he did, that would be him tagging himself with the badge of fear and being a coward.

Also, Chiron was without cultivation.

How hard could it be? Jan Jan instantly made up his mind. He was going to end this battle in one strike, and save the face of the Chikitsa clan from this embarrassment.

"I accept!" Jan Jan responded.

He immediately agreed to fight with Chiron.

Once again, the crowd entered loud chattering.

The event had not even started but the first challenge had been issued and the first fight was on the way.

Elder Harden instructed the participants to leave the fighting space in order for the two challengers to face each other.

This was going to be the first match of the Last days.
