So, I wrote the entire chapter once without saving... Needless to say, I had to write this chapter twice. And I am super tired, so I ended up rushing the chapter towards the end...

Rovo fell down on the ground and started screaming. Both his arms were laying on the ground in front of him.

Aside from Rovo’s screaming, no one dared make a sound. The situation around them was simply too shocking. Everyone in this room are at the Profound Spiritual Realm… Except for Kiron!

And everyone here thinks that there is no one in the Profound Practitioner Realm who can beat them… That’s what they used to think. Upon seeing Kiron crush Rovo, they all lost some of their confidence.

“Kiron! There was no need to go so far!” The remaining 2 Hidden Snake Sect members came walking up to Kiron with enraged looks on their faces.

Kiron turned his head towards them, “Hey, have you forgotten what we all agreed on before the match?” Kiron tried his best to not laugh. He had pretty much predicted this result!

“We remember… We’re just here to pick up Rovo.” The Hidden Snake Sect members picked up Rovo’s Green Axe, his arms and then they carried him away.

Kiron who is at the Profound Practitioner Realm had just dominated someone at the Profound Spiritual Realm! Everyone were still trying to process what had just happened.

Everyone had believed Kiron to be invincible within the Profound Practitioner Realm, but to defeat someone at the Profound Spiritual Realm? Everyone here had considered that an impossible thing! But Kiron had proved them all wrong just now!

But while they were all amazed at Kiron’s strength, they also felt that he was a bit too ruthless. Killing someone or cutting their arms off… Sure, it’s nothing new. Most of these disciples had either killed or harmed a person in such a manner before… But to do it in a ‘friendly’ match in front of others? None would dare do that!

… In a hidden room located above the gigantic room where Kiron was in.

“Incredible… He actually cut that persons arms off! What an impressive youngster!” A middle aged man with silver hair said!

“My King, he might be the one to come out victorious in that place!” The man speaking just now was someone Kiron was familiar with. It is Kalan!

The King looked at Kalan, “How many times do I have to tell you to call me Lorai! We have been together since we were both kids, there’s no reason for you to act like that when we’re alone!” Lorai said with a smile on his face.

Kalan nodded in agreement. “But… What if he refuses? We can’t force him to enter that place.” Kalan said with a hint of worry in his voice.

“Don’t worry about that. The winner of this tournament will be given the chance to marry my second daughter!” Lorai said with a sour face. He cared about his children, but he didn’t want to be a father who marries his own daughter away for his personal benefits.

It was obvious that he wanted to get Kiron on his good side! Anyone could see that Kiron would grow up to be someone strong! He might just become another Baroona! A person who stands on top of the world!

Kalan’s face turned sour, “But… Second Princess… She would never agree to that! You know just how much she hates being forced into doing something she doesn’t want to!

“I know… That’s why I’m setting them up. If I can make it seem natural, then there won’t be any problems! But of course, if it fails… We can just hope that Kiron is willing to join us without marrying her.” Lorai said with a worrisome expression on his face.

For him, the best case scenario would be that Kiron and Second Princess falls in love and gets married. Then Kiron would naturally become a part of their family!

But if that fails… Then all he can do is hope that he is able to befriend Kiron without relying on his daughter!

…

Kiron sat on the ground next to Shion, waiting for the tournament host to come and give them the information regarding the tournament.

People were still discussing the events that had just happened. But now, no one dared get close to Kiron. Before, people had come up to him in hopes of befriending him… But now they all believe that he is not someone you can easily get close to.

A man stepped up on the stage, “Welcome to the tournament hosted by Tranos! My name is Waile will be the host for this tournament!”

Before giving out any details, “This tournament will be done in groups of 2! You will all receive a partner who is assigned to you randomly!” Waile said in a loud voice.

As Waile finished the sentence, someone came walking through the door carrying a table and 2 large boxes. “Everyone form a line! You will all receive a random number.”

Waile jumped down from the stage and got next to the table, “There are 2 of every number, so if you get the number 150, then your partner will also have 150! After receiving your number, go look for your partner!” Waile said as he started handing out papers with numbers on them.

“Will I get a number as well?” Shion asked Kiron through their soul.

Kiron looked at Shion who was standing next to him, “I’m not sure… I will ask the tournament host once it’s time for me to receive a number.”

“I was allowed to enter this room, so I think I should be able to receive a number… But I don’t want to end up with some random human!” Shion said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. He’d rather just pair up with Kiron instead of some random person.

Half a minute passed by and it was time for Kiron to receive a number.

Waile drew a paper out of the box, “Number 83.” He said with a loud voice. He already knew that this was Kiron’s pre-determined number

Kiron then asked, “Hey, does Shion get a number as well?” Kiron asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He knew Shion would just be bored out of mind if he didn’t get to participate.

“Shion is bonded to you. The two of you counts as one, he will be with you.” Waile said with a friendly voice.

The kingdom was already fully aware that Kiron hated it whenever someone said Soul Beast. So they had told everyone not to call Shion his Soul Beast, because that could only create bad relationships, which is not what they want.

Kiron with a satisfied smile on his face nodded in agreement.

People had already heard that Kiron was number 83, so they quickly expanded their efforts to find out who else got number 83. Pairing up with Kiron would be a great chance! But… None of them managed to find out who got number 83.

… A couple of minutes passed by.

“Number 83.” Waile said with a loud voice.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who had drawn number 83! But their looks of curiosity turned into faces filled with shock

“The Second Princess!” Most of the disciples in here recognized this young girl. She was a genius in the Kingdom of Tranos. She 17 years old and already at the early stages of the Profound Spiritual Realm!

The Second Princess was not someone easy to build relationships with! She usually kept to herself, and she rarely bothered speaking with others. Most people here had already seen here at some point, but none of the people who had seen her before had even heard her voice!

Even princes from other kingdoms had come over in attempt to speak with her, but they were all shut down!

Her looks were good enough to draw in people from all over! But in the end, all they could do was dream about what it would be like to end up with someone like her!

Kiron looked at the Second Princess for a couple of seconds before turning his head back to Shion. He had already heard all rumors regarding the Second Princess, so he didn’t bother his time thinking about her too much.

He simply wasn’t a man interested in finding love. All he cared about was strength! He does not want to waste his time on things he doesn’t enjoy, and he always considered relationships to be a bad thing.

The Second Princess walked up to Kiron and Shion, “Hello. My name is Ariadne, it’s nice to meet you.”

People were staring at the scene with shocked expressions on their faces. Ariadne and Kiron are both people who purposely avoids socializing with those whom they are not close with, so just how is this situation going to escalate?

Even Kiron who did not care about love at all couldn’t help but admire her looks. She truly lives up to the rumors!

“My name is Kiron, and this is Shion. Nice to meet you.” Kiron bowed his head slightly as he spoke.
