Chapter 78 End Of First Round

Meanwhile, Odino was looking at Bac from top to bottom. He was also a little suspicious of something.

'Strange, very strange. I can feel something wrong with his soul but I can't quite pinpoint it.' Odino became amused the more he pondered. 'However, whatever has happened to his soul was done by someone far weaker than me, so I will play and see what you do.'

After Lenny was done with his thoughts, he glanced at Odino. 'It seems he also picked up something. As expected of an inner elder.'

[ Odino Glacier (Half Step Soul Formation Realm): A runaway scion from the famous Glacier Clan and an inner elder at the White Jade Sect. He is a story lover and searches for heroic and tragic stories in real life. He would not intervene in anyone's plans until the end, as long as it didn't involve him. He knows there is something wrong with Bac's soul, but he won't do anything. Firstly, the enemy is weak, and lastly, his heart is filled with excitement about the events that would unfold. ]

'What a weird guy.' This was the first thing that came to Lenny's mind after he read his status. 'This guy is like a pure incarnation of a book reader.'

Then he became worried about Odino as he was way above the realm that the mask could hide him from. But from the looks of it, Odino didn't seem to even glance at the heavy crowd.

Lenny sighed in relief after finding out about that. 'Lucky~'

While currently, the judge beside Odino was done checking the beast's core.

He gave a doubtful look at Bac. "You actually killed a mid-stage grade-3 beast?"

Many gasps could be heard coming from the crowd. Most of the people here knew Bac's notorious actions and personality; he might be a genius, but he was at the bottom of it.

Gravitar put his doubt to Brustiar."Brustiar, are you hiding anything about your youngest son? I know better than anyone how he is. He was able to quickly break through to Foundation Establishment Realm because of pills and herbs. He also has little skill and combat experience. How was he able to kill a mid-stage grade-3 beast?"

"I'm not sure," Brustiar said, looking at his son, who was standing proudly, and becoming more perplexed as time passed. "I actually didn't know he was capable of doing this stuff. I think he was hiding all of this secret all for himself."

However, Ban, who was behind Brustiar, didn't agree with his father. 'No, Bac is not capable of this feat. I know what he does most of the time. Every time I ask him to train, he would always be slacking off.'

Ban became worried about his brother instantly. He decided he had to keep a close eye on him.

Meanwhile, to the judge's question, Bac replied confidently. "Sir, I handed you that beast core-3. That is already the best proof."

The judge was a bit stumped, then waved his hand. "Yea, it was my mistake for asking. You will go to the second round. Now move; others are also waiting."

Bac's forehead frowned for a second because of the judge's way of talking to him, but it vanished and he returned to normal.

Odino looked at Bac's figure leaving and smirked. Nobody saw Bac's change but that was not able to escape Odino's eyes. 'This is getting fun.'

After Bac came before Brustiar, he stood tall, waiting for praise, and his wish was fulfilled as all the elders started to butter him in every way possible.

Brustiar could only go along and not show his doubt. He smiled and said."You did great, Bac. You actually did something beyond my expectation. I am proud of you."

A giant grin appeared on Bac's face, he looked at Ban and gloated.

Ban's eyebrows raised at seeing Bac's smug face. 'He never looked at me like that! Where is he getting this much courage from?'

'Oho~' Lenny's eyes sparkled a little upon seeing that. 'This is such a great event to gather important information.'

Slowly, the flow of participants coming out of the forest decreases, which eventually announces the end of this round.

Lenny saw the IceFire clan doing better overall, while Burnheart did somewhat average and Ragingwave did the worst. He didn't know about other places, but from the fuming face of Galibar, he could guess they weren't much better either.

"Let's go," Lenny said to the girls. Kaley's face was filled with disappointment, while Jasmine was curiously looking around everywhere.

As he was taking the girls away, he gave one last glance at someone in particular. A smile escaped from his mouth as he vanished into the crowd. "We will meet again."

This certain someone was none other than Elder Thunder.

[ Elder Thunder (Peak Golden Core Realm): Elder at Burnheart Family while secretly he is an elder from Demon Blight Sect. At a young age, he was picked up by an elder of the demon sect. He is secretly making plans to swoop the whole town under his grasp. He has planted a spy on Niloy. The spy, tomorrow will kill the person Niloy talks to every day. ]

"Tomorrow will be an exciting day."

Kaley was curious, why Lenny said that suddenly. "What will be exciting?"

Lenny said this to Kaley with a slight smile. "Kaley, promise me. No matter what happens tomorrow, you won't break down."

"Will you leave me?" Kaley panicked and voiced her only concern.

"No," Lenny shook his head. "Didn't I say it to you that I will never leave you?"

"If you say so, then I promise I won't break down," Kaley said it firmly.

"Good, then I will give you a special treat tonight." Lenny teased a bit.

To which Kaley became shy and had her head down."Don't say that in public."

"Hehe," Jasmine giggled quietly. She was happy as Lenny was having fun with the people he was with now. He didn't have to be completely cold-hearted if he could have someone to laugh with from time to time.
