Soon, half an hour had passed. Only a handful of people succeeded in exiting the formation. In the end, only eight people qualified for the next round.Darryl did not stay any longer after the competition ended and left the venue immediately.‘What a day, I almost got eliminated from cheating.’“Hey, Luca!” someone shouted at him once he left the venue. Darryl turned to look and saw Parker was running towards him. Her face was all rosy, looking attractive.“What is it?” Darryl smiled and asked, feeling relaxed.The semi-final was over; how refreshing.“I…” Once Parker arrived, she was embarrassed. She bit her lips and hesitated before saying softly, “Thank you for everything today.” When she said that, Parker was really sincere. Her words of gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.As the eldest Young Miss of Famed Sword Manor, Parker had an arrogant character and seldom accepted help from others. However, that day was an exception.Without Luca’s help, she would be tra
When Parker presented the pendant to Darryl, she obviously treated him as a friend. “Alright!” Darryl admitted, then kept the pendant. They chatted for a while before bidding each other farewell. Once he was back at the inn, Darryl was relieved. He succeeded in qualifying for the next round at the martial art competition semi-finals and the literary competition semi-finals.After a good night's rest and giving his mind a break, Darryl felt extremely fresh when he woke up. The next day, when he arrived at the martial art competition venue, he saw on the notice board that the participants were split into small groups.The ten people that progressed from the semi-finals would break into five groups to battle. The winner would progress to the next round while the loser would be eliminated. You did not need to look for Internal Alchemy Elixir for this battle but actually, battle with real power. ‘Asher? He helped me a lot during the previous semi-finals. It won’t be easy to battle
“Florian, let the competition begin immediately,” the Empress said calmly as she sat to the side.The Empress glared at Darryl and shook her head. ‘Luca made it to the top ten as a Martial Saint? What a joke!’ “Yes, Your Highness Empress!”Florian did not speak further when he heard the Empress had spoken. He shouted to both of them on the stage, “Luca, Asher, you may begin.”As he spoke, Asher held his fist together as he said to the New World Emperor, “Your Majesty, I forfeit this round of the competition!”When he said that Asher looked determined, although Asher was not happy about it, he had no choice.‘Luca is from the South Cloud World royal family. My sect still needs their support, so how can I beat him in this competition? Besides, I should feel satisfied that I made it to the finals.’The entire venue was in an uproar. ‘What…’‘Asher wanted to give up on the competition?’‘Shouldn’t Luca be the one to give up?’At that moment, everyone who was making fun of Darr
“This…” Yvette’s body was trembling as she stared closely at Darryl. She was amazed. “This guy is just too lucky, right?”Everyone would have thought that Asher would have won the competition. Who would have imagined that Asher decided to give up on his own?Yvette’s vision was shining as she glared at Darryl. “What’s so special about him? It’s obvious that Asher and Luca know each other and have a special relationship. Asher wanted to help Luca to get into the top five!” she said, frustrated. 'On the battle stage, you need to show your power to earn everyone’s respect. However, Luca won in such a disgraceful way that everyone is furious.'Yvette shifted her vision from Darryl and thought, ‘No matter how smart Luca is, I won’t bother to give a person like him a second look.’At the same time, the New World Emperor squeezed his brows as he saw Darryl walking down the battle stage.‘Luca won in sword technique against Wyatt in the competition earlier! He then succeeded in gett
“This…” Darryl paused as he saw Asher was filled with anticipation. “Actually, I’m Princess Long’s husband.” Honestly, Darryl did not want to tell Asher the truth, but he had pulled out from the competition because of him. He had to repay the favor. He would look terrible if he continued to hide his identity.Most importantly, Darryl could feel that Asher was a man with honor and good principles. Asher would never reveal his secret.Asher was stunned when he heard that. He then took a cold breath!The next second, Asher’s body trembled, and he was about to bow!The South Cloud Empress had announced Princess Long’s engagement with the Prince Consort earlier. Everyone in the entire South Cloud World heard about it!Quincy’s position in the South Cloud World was only second to the Empress. She was above everyone except the Empress, and her Prince Consort would also be highly respected. Darryl was quick to stop Asher. “Don’t bow. There’s a reason why I’m hiding my identity. Do you
If this happened days before, Parker would not have felt so frustrated. However, after being with Darryl for the past two days, she knew he was someone with hidden talents. As such, when she saw that she was in the same group as Luca, Parker felt intense pressure. She could hardly breathe.Soon, the competition began!Darryl and Parker walked towards the table. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.“Looks like I’m going to lose this round!” Parker said with a faint smile. Parker suddenly felt relieved when she said that. Honestly, Parker had never thought of winning first place when she came to join the literary competition.The main reason she was there was to make friends with talented people from the nine continents. She also saw this as a way to challenge her knowledge. Most importantly, she was a girl, so how could she be the Prince Consort to the Princess?Darryl had a comforting expression as he smiled but did not speak.Under normal circumstances, Darryl wo
“Your Majesty, I am still investigating Luca's identity. I will get the information very soon!” Florian replied immediately as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.At that moment, in the competition venue, Parker was smiling at Darryl as she said, “Luca, you need to win till the end. I’ll cheer for you.” Then, she turned to leave. Darryl did not speak; he just smiled and nodded.Everyone was in an uproar again when they saw that. They were stunned.‘What is going on?’‘Parker is cheering for Luca?’‘Aren’t they master and servant?’Among the crowd, Geoff looked upset.Geoff did not leave after being eliminated. He watched all the competitions and witnessed with his own eyes when Luca was about to be eliminated. In the end, Luca was not disqualified and managed to progress to the final four. When they saw Parker walking out of the competition venue, Geoff and quite a number of people gathered around her and could not help but ask, "Mister Yohan! Isn’t Luca your servant? Why
“Come, let’s drink!”At that time, Asher did not drink much as he cheered with Milton.After a few rounds of drinks, Asher was drunk. Noticing this, Milton went closer to him and pretended to be casual when he asked, “Brother Finn, I just don’t understand. With your power, you would not have a problem being in the top two. Why did you pull out from the competition when you faced Luca?” Asher laughed and shook his head as he said, "Haha. I had no choice but to pull out; Luca is something.”‘Something?’ Milton became more alert when he heard that. He continued asking, “What do you mean by that?”He pretended to look curious and was extremely excited in his heart. “This…” Although Asher was drunk, his subconscious was still clear. He shook his head and said with a smile, “I can’t tell you. I can’t.” ‘Sh*t! It seems like he still needs more drinks!’Milton cursed secretly as he forced a smile and continued giving Asher another drink. “That’s fine; I won’t ask anymore since you
