Chapter 73: 73

Upon his arrival at the spacious field, Locke realized that there were already hundreds of people waiting there.

“Why are you so late?” Tristan asked as he walked forward.

Locke shrugged and said, “That guy hasn’t arrived yet, right?”

As the two of them conversed, an old man in the stands was constantly waving at Locke.

“Go quickly, the principal has been waiting for you…” Tristan explained the reason behind his earlier question.

After coming to the main stand, the principal, Hobrick, said with a charitable expression, “Kid, do you want to study in the Divine Class?”

Hearing this, Locke’s eyes immediately lit up. “Of course! Can I?”

This was something Locke had been looking forward to for a long time.

Ever since he entered the Diamond Class, Locke realized that he had learned next to nothing when it came to combat. After all, due to the existence of the System, none of his classmates were his match.

Although he had learned much practical knowledge, he was certain that he could pick it up with time.

As such, there was not much point in attending classes.

John, Hobrick’s assistant, laughed and said, “Hahaha! I knew that this would be your response, but first, I’ll need to explain the conditions for entering the Divine Class…”

Locke leaned forward and listened attentively.

“Firstly, enter the top ten in the ‘Three Academies Martial Arts Display’ that will be held next month!”

“Secondly, defeat Andrew!”

“Oh… So the conditions of entering the Divine Class is dependent on one’s ability to fight…”Locke held his chin and nodded.

John was amused by Locke’s words,

“Hahaha! I guess it sort of is, but there are no strict conditions! After all, the prerequisites are based on the principal’s whims.”

“That’s right! I decide the rules! I decided the conditions earlier while I was in the toilet!” Hobrick exclaimed with his head held high.

‘This old man…’ Locke was speechless for a moment.

The field was extremely lively. Naturally, the diamond class students were all supporting their new boss, Locke!

Under the “persuasion” of the Diamond Class members, most of the students in the lower ranked classes were forced to support Locke!

Under the guidance of the Diamond Class students, more than half of the people at the scene were shouting Locke’s name!

However, there were some exceptions to this!

There was also a group of people who had raised their flags in support for Andrew!

Most of them were girls!

Their reason? It was solely because of Andrew’s good looks!

The moment an eagle’s cry resounded throughout the sky.

They knew that their Prince Charming had arrived!

“Andrew! My prince!”

“I love you!!”

“I want to give birth to your son!”

“Boom!!”

Along with an incomparably handsome and cool stance…

Andrew, who was originally standing on the back of his eagle, leaped towards the ground!

The impact of his landing had caused dust to fly across the field!

“Won’t he choke from all this dust that he kicked up?” Looking at his opponent’s grandiose opponent, Locke felt that the blue-eyed blonde was not too bright!

Sure enough, Andrew, who inhaled a little dust, had choked a few times.

However, in order to protect his glorious image, he forcefully endured it.

“Locke! You insulted my brother! You’re going to die here today!!” Andrew directed his finger at Locke.

“Wow!! So cool!”

The group of girls in the audience seats began to shout fanatically again, they were already stunned by Andrew’s handsome pose!

“A bunch of idiots…”Locke looked at the group of brainless girls and cursed. Then, he slowly walked down the steps.

Since the duel was sanctioned by the Federal Court, they had also sent their own referee.

“This battle will be recorded and judged by the Federal Court!” The referee paused for a moment before continuing, “Locke has already signed the battle contract! This means that the battle will not end until one side has lost their lives!”

These words made the entire arena fall silent.

They had just realized that Locke was fighting a life-or-death battle!

Locke was very relaxed. He casually walked onto the stage after the referee’s announcement.

“Can’t you move faster, kid?” Andrew thought that Locke had underestimated him.

“What’s the rush? I’ve only eaten my breakfast half an hour ago. What if I upset my stomach during the battle?” Locke responded in a matter-of-fact manner.

Andrew did not know how to respond.

To dispel the awkwardness of the situation, he shouted loudly and blew his shirt open to reveal his toned muscles and healthy complexion.

His muscles were one thing, but when coupled with the cool falcon’s tattoo on his chest, the females in the crowd immediately went crazy.

“Your bird tattoo is pretty neat…” Locke was impressed by the quality of the tattoo.

“B*stard! It’s my Battle Beast! Not a bird! !” Andrew roared, and the falcon that was circling in the sky extended its claws and swooped down at Locke!

It was so fast that it caused a sonic boom from its movement!

However, Locke was already prepared. “Lil’ Flame!”

In an instant, Infinite Fire Element transformed into a flaming shield that blocked the falcon’s swift and vicious assault!

The Falcon’s attack had failed. After being deflected by the shield, it quickly returned to its master’s shoulder.

The whole exchange had taken place within three seconds!

The students present were all dumbfounded!

“Wow…”

“So fast!”

“Their movements are insane!”

With this exchange, the duel had officially begun!

“Falcon! Restrain his movement!” Seeing that his first attack had failed, Andrew ordered his gray falcon beat its wings. Countless feathers as sharp as knives were launched at Locke!

“Lil’ White!”

“Hiss…”

The two-headed snake that was coiled around Locke’s shoulder immediately responded!

It had activated Freezing Arrival to counter the attack!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…

The sounds of knives and ice clashing against each other could be heard!

It was quite the spectacle!

Realizing his move was not working, an idea struck Andrew!

With a cry, Andrew’s falcon suddenly expanded by three times!

Andrew rode on the back of the Falcon and flew into the air. Then, with a flap of its wings, two tornadoes began to head towards Locke!

“Hurricane Piercer!!”

Locke shouted loudly, and Gale Wings immediately took position!

An air bomb was launched towards the tornadoes!

Boom!

Both skills collided against one another!

The intense scene was another fast-paced exchange, and it had bewildered the audience!

Many students gaped at the scene with widened eyes!

“I didn’t think that you would possess a wind-type Battle Beast as well!”

“There are many things which are beyond your comprehension.” Locke spat.

Andrew could not accept Locke’s tone with him. He said angrily, “What a pity! The sky is my domain! Go to Hell!”

Following that, the gray falcon continuously flapped its wings, and it unleashed a dozen tornadoes at Locke.

The battle stage roared! A dust storm had been kicked up!

“Oh no! The area of his attack is too huge!” Tristan said anxiously.
