Chapter 266: Forfeiting the Battle x6 (Chapter Dedicated to Chaos_Knight_5941)

After defeating Thomas as he was carried away, Arthur had told him to meet him after the tournament ended.

Now left on the arena with him were Balor, Luke, Anastasia, Sun Wukong, Kalius, Zaith, and Qin Tian.

At this point, Arthur was thinking about how fast he could end and win when Balor walked up and said, "I forfeit," then he bowed to Arthur and left the stage.

The whole act happened so fast that those watching were slow to react for a moment.

"Why did he forfeit? I was hoping for more!"

"I think I know why?"

"You there, tell us why Balor would forfeit? I mean that’s the freaking Prime Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

The one with the long nose frowned a bit, but his expression quickly eased into a fawning one when he saw he was being questioned by a beauty wearing a veil who was surrounded by three other similar looking women.

"Oh, hehe, I do know of this. Although I’m not a disciple of the sect, I have heard some rumors."

"At the time when Prince Arthur went on some adventure, he had settled down in the Heavenly Sword Sect for training and so..."

"Oh, so that’s how it is." The lady nodded and turned her head while ignoring the young man’s attempt at getting to talk more to her.

This lady was one of them women who came with Ayara from another continent, now under the protection of the Emperor.

Besides her was Ayara, the woman from another continent who had made an unknown deal with the emperor.

She had come to watch the tournament to get a view of what the young talents of the Southern Continent would look like.

And indeed she hadn’t been disappointed.

Before the spectators could continue to comment, Luke stepped forward and did the same thing as Balor.

"I forfeit," he said.

The referee nodded and Luke left the stage with a carefree smile.

’This is Master’s spotlight. I am not worthy to share it with him.’

Arthur, who knew what Luke was feeling inwardly, shook his head at that.

’This guy, he doesn’t even need to be soul bound. He would probably lay down his life in an instant as long as I need it. Hmm...’

He decided to put more effort in nurturing him in the coming days.

Anastasia looked at Arthur in thought and then smiled.

"Maybe you really are that strong huh?"

Arthur smiled back as he knew what she was referring to. He had once told her that he was as strong and might even be stronger than a Martial Emperor, which she didn’t believe at that time.

"Who knows?" Arthur shrugged.

"Hehehe, alright then. I’ll save you the trouble," Anastasia said as she announced that she also forfeited.

But although she left the stage gracefully, her thoughts were not as casual as she made it seem.

Arthur perceived her complex emotions with his empath ability.

’Should I attempt to read her mind? Nah...’ he thought about it but decided not to do so considering their relationship.

’I have secrets of my own too,’ he thought.

At this point, Sun Wukong sighed and asked Arthur, "When can we have our rematch?"

Arthur raised an eyebrow and then understood what he meant.

Since they had a deal that as long as he was stronger than Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong would follow his lead.

Sun Wukong knew that Arthur may not be willing to use some of his true power as he would want to keep it hidden from the public eye, and Sun Wukong would also like to do the same.

"When the time is right." Arthur gave his response.

Sun Wukong nodded in understanding. Although he was itching to see how strong he was against Arthur, considering his miserable loss before and how strong he had trained until now, he understood that now may not be the best time.

’Tch, little brat. Your ancestors weren’t even born when I rebelled. How dare you try to tame this Old Sun. Luckily my memories are returning faster than I thought, otherwise I might be suppressed before I could even raise my head,’ Wukong thought to himself.

Then he announced his forfeit also.

Now only Qin Tian and Kalius were left.

’So everyone is giving up huh? But not me.’

Qin Tian was to speak when a voice appeared in his mind.

’Boy, forfeit.’

’What? Why master? You don’t think I’m weaker than him, right?’

’I can’t see through him.’

’What?!’

’This boy is not ordinary. Considering your past records of going all out, if you can’t defeat him with the First Level Limit, you would expose more of what we are supposed to keep hidden until the Martial Emperor Secret Realm.’

Qin Tian frowned, ’Are you kidding? He can even make me use the first level limit?’

Although he felt surprised about it, his questions were not of disbelief but of shock.

He alone knew what power he could wield.

’Indeed,’ the voice he referred to as master continued, ’It is not a matter of who wins or who is stronger. We mustn’t jeopardize our chances. The immortal way isn’t so forgiving...’

Qin Tian seemed to grasp something from his master’s words. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

’It seems there are more troubled times ahead?’ he asked.

’Yes, indeed. Now forfeit quickly and come to my side. I perceived that something will be happening immediately after he wins. I don’t want to get entangled in a possible power struggle.’

’I understand.’

Qin Tian sighed and raised his hand, "I forfeit...also."

*Tap!*

He left the stage without even looking back.

"What, even this dark horse too?"

"Yeah, Qin Tian had never even released his Martial Spirit. He had won all his matches pretty easily. I didn’t think we wouldn’t get a chance to see him go all out."

"Yeah, me too."

Arthur wasn’t expecting that, but he noticed something.

’Hmm, that was soul transmission and judging from what I sensed... Nascent Soul.’

His gaze lingered on Qin Tian for a while longer before looking away.

Now only Kalius was left.

And Arthur knew he would not be forfeiting like the others.

"Let’s battle." Kalius spoke without wasting words and got into a fighting stance immediately.

’Just as I thought...’ Arthur narrowed his eyes and then smiled.

’This will be a little more interesting than all previous battles combined, I see.’
