Chapter 69 The Outer Court Rankings III: Battle Royal!
================================
The number one outer court disciple...
He was a young man with a stoic expression on his face. Seated with the others, he acted aloof and didn't even shake when he heard the rewards unlike the others.
He was a genius at the Peak of the Gold Core Realm and was just a tiny bit away from breaking through to the Martial Origin Realm.
He was well respected in the Outer Court by everyone including the other top ten rankers.
He was...
'Mark Grayson'
Mark Grayson became the number one outer court disciple when he was only at the seventh rank of the Gold Core Realm, which was a first in the sect.
Before him, the top ten rankers were always at the tenth stage of the Gold Core Realm. Also, he was a very brutal fighter and does not know how to hold back.
Because of that, in the eyes of the outer court disciples, he was a true monster.
Anyone who got matched with him and refuses to concede will have to face his full-powered attack.
Many had wondered why he never holds back, even against those much weaker than him, until one day he answered their queries.
"I don't take chances...not anymore...and I show no mercy..."
Since then if anyone got matched with him in the ranking battles, they will immediately admit defeat.
After the Elder announced the rewards, it was now time for the ranking battles to begin.
Currently, the participating disciples were over two thousand.
"Now that the rewards of this time's ranking battle have been announced, and you are all fired up, let us move to the first round of the competition!"
"Let everyone except the top ten disciples climb the battle arena," the Elder instructed.
The arena where the battles will be taking place was big enough to accommodate everyone participating.
The disciples complied and climbed the arena one after the other. Although there were other fighting stages around, they were much smaller compared to the one in the middle.
"Master, according to my findings, the first round is usually a battle royal. All disciples will fight until there are only three hundred left," Luke explained what he knew to Arthur.
"I understand, let me join them," Arthur said glancing at the others.
"This will be the first major step of our faction. Be sure to remember that," Arthur smiled and turned to the battle arena.
"So charming!" Evelyn commented with stars in her eyes. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
"Why do I feel nervous when I am not the one going to fight?" Balor was feeling it might not be easy for Arthur.
Even though he felt that Arthur would win he was a bit worried, as he had never witnessed Arthur's prowess before.
Only Luke was completely calm, unlike the others.
"You don't need to be. I am sure he got this in the bag before it even began," Sun Wukong bumped Balor on the shoulder.
"Yeah, you are right, I guess."
The two brothers kept silent, but from their looks, they were not too confident in Arthur.
And as for Evelyn, she had her gaze fully focused on Arthur's back view.
By the time Arthur walked to the battle arena, everyone else had already gotten on it.
This caused him to stand out.
"Hey, isn't that the new disciple?"
"Hmm, let me see...yeah, that's him."
"So he meant what he said then?"
"Seems so."
"He is courageous all right, I'll give him that." munity created for this book via this link: https://discord.gg/KQqau2bVw6
