Zhowen and Xialin, after watching the battle between Fred and Oscar, became scared.

"Hey! Why did both of you abstain?"

Shawn can't help but be surprised and irritated as the two unknowingly abstained. The reason why Shawn participated in this tournament was because of the title and to be able to defeat Zhowen. But now that they abstained, he can't have the chance to do it at all.

"You know that you're the reason why I participate in this tournament, so why did you abstain? Don't tell me you're afraid to lose to me?"

Actually, Chloe doesn't want the title nor to be placed in the top ten, but only to actually defeat Xialin, to show Zhowen how great she is, for him to like her. But right now, she won't have a chance to make it anymore.

"Just because of something."

The two fell into a complicated situation. They can't explain the real reason as they were being surrounded by other contestants.

"Then tell us! Why did you abstain?"

"Hey, why are you bullying the two? That is their own decision, so why are you interfering with their own business?!"

Richard who was watching the four in silence, can't help but butt in.

"Yeah, they're just a little kid after all. Maybe they were just tired from the battle earlier so they decided to abstain as they already used all of their energies in their body."

Katy also butts in, maybe because of Chloe.

The battle goes on with all remaining contestants becoming more excited to win as two more opponents were out.

As the two finally saw the twin being alone, they began to talk with them and tell the reason why they abstained.

"Hey, if Fred challenges you, just give up."

Zhowen said, seriously surprising Shawn.

"What?! Why would we just give up without trying? We're not afraid of him."

"I don't care what you want to do, but don't forget that we warn the both of you, okay?"

Xialin also said her piece, worried about the two.

"What the hell is your problem with him?! Just tell us already."

Shawn, feeling as if something was wrong with Fred since he make the two, who are special, feel scared, can't help but be curious.

"Actually, Fred is not a Semi-Saint Strength. Maybe he's higher than Semi-God Strength!"

"What? Are you sure about that?"

Chloe, hearing that, even though she's confident with her skill, still felt worried.

"No. But it's just our speculation."

The two don't want to claim something they were unsure of.

"So what if he was higher than Semi-God Strength?! It's not like I'm afraid of him! And isn't it more exciting to fight him, to see what level my power is?"

Shawn was a bit arrogant and want to show off to Xialin. He saw this opportunity to show off his might since Zhowen just backed out.

"If he was just defeating his opponent, then we will not warn you."

"What are trying to say? Did you have any proof to prove what you said about him?"

"No..."

"Then, don't judge him! But thanks for the warning, we'll take it in mind!"

"Okay, I'm sure he's going to challenge you now."

...

"I will challenge Shawn."

Fred, after he just defeated his opponent, challenges once more.

"I... I... I will abstain!"

Shawn, who was still hesitating after hearing the two, can't help but trust them since those two never did become wrong.

"Why? If you will abstain, you can't take the first place anymore? Are you sure about this?"

Edgar, who was still shaken up by the two abstaining, was feeling surprised again hearing someone, especially Shawn abstaining.

"Yes... I... I'm sure about this!"

Shawn still said with great hesitation as he was sure that his Dad will definitely be disappointed in him. He looked at Zhowen with fury and trust as he goes toward him.

"Why did you abstain?"

Richard wants to ridicule Shawn for his abstaining. He didn't expect, that the arrogant and strong Shawn would be afraid of Fred, who's lower than his grade.

"Just because of something!"

"Haha! You just can't say that you're scared of Fred because he just defeated Oscar! What happened to you? Ahhahahha. I didn't know that you're such a coward!"

Then the rest also start to talk about Shawn's abstention as they were dismayed at him.

Shawn angrily looks at Zhowen and punches his shoulder.

"Hey, it's not my fault! You're the one who chose to abstain!"

Zhowen suddenly clarifies things as he didn't force Shawn to abstain.

"I know. But you better had an acceptable reason for making such a warning!"

Shawn, although knew himself for being unreasonable can't help but still felt regrets.

"Anyways, why did you believe us?"

Xialin asked curiously. She knew Shawn to be arrogant and only listen to himself and his dad, so she was just really surprised.

"Then, how do you know that Fred will challenge me?"

"Can't you figure it out?"

"No! I even don't know why he makes the two of you scared."

"Then you just see. Since he didn't expect your abstention, he will be going to challenge Richard!"

....

"I will challenge Richard!"

Fred unexpectedly challenges Richard, just as the two speculated.

...

"What?! How did you guess that?"

"Because Fred knows that Richard has a grudge against you, and since you abstain, Richard will think you're scared of him, and Richard will definitely accept his challenge since he also knows that Richard wants to defeat him to prove to you that he's stronger than you!"

"So you're saying that he has the intention of battling all of us?"

"Yes, because after all, it's everyone's dream, holding the title of first place in this tournament, defeating all the opponents, and being considered the strongest child in the entire city!"

"So, are you saying after he defeats Richard, he's going to challenge me next?"

"Yes, since Katy has a deep grudge against you! What did you do to her to make her hate you?"

"I didn't do anything! Maybe it was because I defeated and humiliated her last year in this tournament."

"Then that's why!"

"Hahaha."

The battle on the stage, at first was intense, but later on, Richard was put at a disadvantage and was beaten by Fred until he can't continue to fight and was placed in fifth place.

"The winner is Fred! Fred has already defeated three contestants and his position will be fourth place. Do you still want to continue?"

Edgar asked, being surprised and admiring Fred as the latter just keep on winning without rest. It was also because this guy make Shawn, the son of God, abstained.

"Of course!"

Fred was firm as determination apparent in his eyes.

The audience was really shocked to see Fred, who was just a Semi-Saint Strength, defeat two Semi-God Strength consecutively.

"He's not a Semi-Saint Strength for sure! Because how the hell can he possibly defeat the two?!"

"Yeah, you're right! And also, he just uses the same Higher Skill!"

"Yeah, he's mysterious and I think he's above Semi-God Strength!"

"How talented that child is!"

"But isn't he's just the son of the seller, Cristy?"

"Yeah, and I even saw him often. And when I observe him, he's just really a Semi-Saint Strength!"

"What?! Are you telling the truth?"

"He's really the son of Cristy! But how the hell did he become this strong!"

"Yeah, how can he do that?!"

In the upper part of the arena.

"Great God, don't you think there's something wrong with Fred? Because according to the information about him, he's really a Semi-Saint Strength. But how can he defeat both Semi-God Strength consecutively to the point of them being severely injured with just that strength?"

"I also notice something was wrong about Fred, Great God."

"Yeah. I also feel that something was wrong with that child. He's not a Semi-Saint Strength for sure."

"That's right, Great God. He's definitely not a Semi-Saint Strength. He deceives others. He's like a wolf covering himself as a sheep to devour them all."

In the waiting room.

"See, he's not a Semi-Saint Strength. He's higher than you."

"Okay. I believe you now. But how did Richard end up being beaten to the point of him, not being able to walk?"

"That's what I told you. If you fight him, some of your consciousness will be taken by Fred, which just makes him stronger."

"What? How cruel he is."

Shawn can't help but shiver after knowing the truth. Consciousness is important for cultivators after all, as it was needed for leveling up into higher grades.

"But should we tell Katy too about this?"

"No. Fred will notice that something probably went wrong if we tell Katy, and also I'm sure that Katy will not believe you."

...

"I will challenge Chloe!"

Fred, gaining something from the battle, can't help but be excited and become eager more. He can't help but feel disappointed as he didn't get to have a chance to fight with Zhowen and Xialin.

"I... I will also abstain."

Edgar was once again surprised and can't help but look at the three inside the waiting room. He was sure that it might be probably because of those two children influencing the twin to abstain.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes!"

Chloe was firm and didn't hesitate to abstain since she knew that Zhowen will say the truth. He never did lie before and even if his hypothesis is wrong, there's still next year or more opportunity awaiting her.

"It looks like they already found out."

Fred can't help but look towards the waiting room, as he was sure that the abstention of the twin was probably related to those two. He can't help but grinned and admire the intelligence of those two.

In the audience.

"Impossible! Even Chloe abstained?!"

"Just how scary that Fred is?!"

"Hais.. He will become the one in the entire tournament history to be able to make his opponent to abstained!"

"But I think it's a great choice to abstain as she will not get injured too!"

"Yeah!"

In the waiting room.

"Crap! It looks like Fred already knows us!"

Zhowen exclaimed in surprise as he get hold of that grin and glare. It sends shivers towards him as he can't help but felt fear.

"Hell! It's true! We're right!"

"Hey, what are you two talking about?"

The twin looks at the two, expectantly as they also want to know what they're talking about as well.

Instead of answering, Xialin just grabbed the book in her bag and open it on page 46 before showing it to the twin.

"Dream Eater Evil Spirit: These are the evil spirits who live within the darkness of the world.

They don't have a physical body and just a transparent spirit, but they were strong enough to be not underestimated.

Their specialty is to use shadows as it was their strongest attack and was weak against light.

They also love to eat the dreams of someone who's sleeping as they'll snatch the body at the same time and in exchange, they'll help the owner to fulfill the dream.

As they were just only a spirit who lives within the darkness, their lifespan was terribly short and their cultivation was limited, that's why they tried to keep seeking and snatch physical bodies to lengthen their life and strengthen their cultivation state.

They will eat the consciousness within the bodies as they will fully control the body on their own.

They will also use the body as a protection against light, so it will be difficult to distinguish someone possessed by an evil spirit from the normal one!

That's why to be cautious when sleeping! It's better for everyone to not sleep with their lights turned off!"

"What?! Are you saying that he's not the real Fred?"

"It's just still our guess!"

"No, it's already true! It's better if we tell it to my dad!"

The four run towards God and Saints as they agreed that it would be better for them to know. After running for a while, the four finally reach God and Saints. The God and Saints were startled to see the four running towards them frantically as if there was someone who was trying to eat them.

The four catch their breath first, before speaking.

"Greeting the Great God and the Holy Saints!"

"Great God, sorry for the intrude, but we're just here to tell you something. I hope you have a better decision about this!"

"Hey, Xialin, what are you talking about? What did you want this time?"

"Don't tell me that the two of you figured out something again!"

"That's right, Saint Frosty! Your child found something important that needs to be settled immediately!"

Chloe, seeing Frosty as her future mother, politely explained.

"Xialin, speak what you want to say."

"Great God, can you take a look at this information?"

God then immediately read the information indicated by Xialin before passing it to the other Saints.

"So what's about this Dream Eater Evil Spirits?"

"What should be settled to it?"

"Don't tell me it's connected to Fred?"

God was suddenly struck by a sudden realization as the word shadow hit his mind.

"It's just our guess, Great God. But we're suspecting that this Fred is not him anymore!"

"Zhowen, don't accuse someone without solid proof!"

"I know, dad. But my sixth sense telling me that it was true!"

"Hey, is this connected to the attack in Eternal Heaven City?"

"Now you tell it, I also start to feel that it was really the case because the attack coincidentally happened at night."

"Don't tell me we're already attacked by these mysterious troops?"

"Maybe that was indeed the case."

Then God, with His Saints, who were still sitting, suddenly stand up.

"You four, stay here. And thanks for telling this to us immediately."

Then God and 12 Saints start to descend from their position, startling the audience.

...

"Hey, look at the higher officials! They look like heading to the stage!"

"What happened? Why did those higher officials descend?"

"There's something about to happen!"

"Yeah. And look at the above, the four were standing there! Maybe they were the reason why the higher officials get down?!"

"What it could be?! I'm curious!"

On the stage, there's suddenly a loud curse that rang out through the entire arena.

"You two brats! I will definitely kill both of you! How dare you exposed us!"

This threat scared the two to death but still regained their calm as they were sure that their parents will protect them.

"You evil spirits! How dare you threaten my child! Are you looking for death?"

Saint Crimson and Saint Thunder were of course be enraged by that arrogant claim, as anger surged and filled their bodies.

The audience, hearing the shout from the two Saints, became astonished.

"What?! Those two good-looking brats were the infamous child?!"

"How can it be?! I'm sure those two were ordinary!"

"Maybe they broke through some times ago with the help of their parents!"

"No wonder they were talented!"

"Hahaha, that child was surely dead meat!"

"But why is Fred talking like that?!"

"He even dares to say that he will kill the child of Saints?!"

"Poor Cristy, her son is going to die."

"Yeah, what a waste! After all, Fred is someone who has a cultivation state higher than Semi-God Strength within just 7 years!"

"What?! I thought Fred is only Semi-Saint Strength?!"

"Why?! Is it impossible for him to level up?"

"So that's the case. He may be broken through several grades!"

On the stairs, there were 13 figures calmly stepping down.

"So, what you're child tell us were true?"

"You're child is really the smartest child."

"Yeah, I agree. Even my child can't compare to yours."

God chucked but still had a composed and refined expression as he look at Fred with killing intent.

On the stage, there was someone who went crazy as he keep cursing while trying to escape.

"I, the 11th commanding officer, will definitely kill the both of you, even if it cost my life!"

"Every Secret Will Be Revealed!"
