Chapter 15: Entrance Examination 4

Adams stepped forward confidently. "Actually, I wanted to challenge one person, but due to certain reasons, I would like to challenge Alec Albert, Dave Lockhart, and Hilary Baston."

The entire battleground fell silent.

The examiner blinked, taken aback. "What did you say?"

"I said I want to fight with those whose names I mentioned."

"But you can only fight one person. Why all three?" the examiner protested.

Adams, growing tired of the questioning, snapped his fingers. Instantly, he and the trio were teleported to the battle stage. The onlookers gasped, even the officials were taken aback. They tried to stop what was happening but found themselves unable to penetrate the barrier surrounding the stage. Quickly, they sent someone to fetch the Sect Master and the Grand Elder.

Elsewhere in the sect, two men were deep in conversation in a secluded area.

"What do you think of this year's entrance examination?" asked the Sect Master.

"As I said before, it is going to be hectic," the Grand Elder replied.

"Come on, it won't be that bad, right?"

"I hope so."

As they spoke, they sensed someone rushing towards them. They exchanged glances.

"What could it be?" the Grand Elder wondered aloud.

"We'll just have to ask him," the Sect Master replied.

An inner sect elder burst into the room, panting. Before he could announce his presence, the door swung open, allowing him entry.

"Greetings to the Sect Master and Grand Elder. I have something urgent to report."

"Go ahead. We are listening," the Sect Master said.

The elder recounted everything that had happened: from the astonishing second-round rankings to the current situation with Lucifer and the trio.

The onlookers were stunned. The Sect Master tried to break the barrier but to no avail. He turned to his fellow cultivators for assistance, but they too were powerless against it.

"What is this barrier made of?" the Sect Master wondered aloud.

Adams turned to Hilary and Alec. "Who's next? I advise you to come at me together. I have to meet someone in a few minutes."

Alec noticed Adams glancing in the direction of his family. **Who could he be expecting? Maybe I should stall him**

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that, Alec," Adams warned, reading Alec's thoughts.

Alec looked as if he had seen a ghost. **How can he read my thoughts?**

With no other option, Alec turned to Hilary. "We have to attack together to stand a chance."

Hilary, terrified by Dave's fate, hesitated. "Are you sure, Alec?"

Alec nodded, though even he was unsure of their chances.

Adams, growing impatient, declared, "If you aren't coming, I'll take that as you giving up."

Jack and Janice knew this was only the beginning. They saw Adams looking towards the Albert family and understood that the real show was about to start.

"Well then, since you aren't answering me, here I come," Adams said.

With a wave of his hand, Hilary was thrown across the stage, his cultivation destroyed. Adams made Alec kneel, cutting off his air supply. Alec gasped for breath when a familiar voice boomed across the battleground.

"LET GO OF MY SON THIS INSTANT, YOU BASTARD!"

It was Frank, Alec's father and Adams's uncle. He wasn't alone; the family elders, Dave's family, and Hilary's family were all there.

"Finally, you came," Adams said, dropping his disguise, revealing his true identity. "I was wondering how long I'd have to continue this charade, Uncle."

Everyone was shocked into silence.

"Did you miss me, Uncle?" Adams asked with a cold smile.
