Chapter 369 Championship
In contrast, the area around the prince and the other 5 would be deserted and peaceful, since no one was going to challenge them.. As such, they could only quietly observe the fights taking place in front of the 4 remaining doors.
The chaotic and intense battles lasted for nearly an incense stick of time.
In the end, 4 disciples prevailed amidst a heap of groaning bodies. Though they were riddled with injuries, they were bursting with excitement as they stood in front of the four stone doors, the emotions in their eyes clear for all to see. They were Xyr, Zulfi Dimitry, Ravina Ingale and Theor Galearms.
When all 10 disciples stood in front of the stone doors, a series of sighs sounded outside the mountain range.
Because this meant that these 10 disciples now possessed the qualifications to become diamond belt disciples.
The eyes of countless disciples were overflowing with envy as they gazed at the ten figures.
To become a diamond belt disciple was the goal of every outer mountain disciple. Moreover, only by first reaching this rank would the path towards the chief disciple be open and even… a ranker in the future.
"Since the 10 diamond belt disciples have been decided, it\'s time for the most exciting part of the diamond belt selection…"
"Yeah. The championship battle is next."
"I wonder what format this championship battle will take? I am really looking forward to it..."
"No matter what format it is, I believe Ezra Zephyr has a very good chance. In fact, he will likely become the champion this time."
"That is not necessarily true. The reason why Ezra Zephyr was able to team wipe the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples was because Umor and the gang were caught off-guard, allowing Ezra to set up a boundary in secret. Since everyone now knows this trick of his, there is no way they will give him the time to set it up again in a fight."
"That\'s true. Without the help of the boundary, I don\'t see how Ezra could possibly match up to Aelna, Isolde and the other first-seat gold belt disciples…"
"..."
Many disciples discussed the outcome, their eyes filled with anticipation. The 10 diamond belt disciples before them were the top disciples who had distinguished themselves from all the gold belt disciples in their sect
And the champion would soon be decided from amongst them.
One could only imagine how amazing the subsequent fights would be.

...
The prince stood in front of a stone door as he stretched out his hand. The seals on the back of his hand began to flicker, before detaching themselves and flying into the stone door.
After the seals entered, a rumbling noise immediately erupted from the stone door. Under Ezra Zephyr\'s excited gaze, the door slowly opened.
Faint mist filled the area behind the stone door, while a tiny rock path extended towards the limits of one\'s sight.
"The championship battle, huh…"
Ezra\'s eyes glimmered. He would have no interest if it was just a title, as he was a very practical person. He was only interested in the championship prize, the Spiritual Moon Pill.
With that pill, he would be able to swiftly advance into the 1st level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
By doing so, he would increase his odds in the upcoming sect battle
The prince took in a deep breath, before he stepped past the stone door without the slightest trace of hesitation, embracing the mist as he began walking on that small cobbled path.
The cobbled path brought him upwards. His surroundings were obscured by the fog, while his curious gaze remained directed to the front.
He really wanted to know what the format of the championship battle would be. Was it going to be a 10 person brawl?
As such thoughts swirled in his head, Ezra Zephyr\'s footsteps did not pause. After half an incense stick of time, he finally realised that he had reached the end of that cobbled path. Meanwhile, the mist in front of him began to dissipate.
When the mist disappeared, a spacious rocky arena appeared in front of him.
Ezra\'s gaze immediately locked onto the centre of the arena, where a man was resting both his hands on the hilt of a dark grey sword, while his scabbard was propped up on the ground.
Beside him was a three feet long incense stick wedged atop a boulder.
When Ezra saw this person, his pupils shrank slightly.
The figure lifted his head, and revealed a playful smile at the prince.
"Ezra Zephyr, it seems like you\'ve really made a name for yourself earlier… However, I never expected that you would bump into me."
The prince frowned. The figure before him was not completely unknown. This person was also a disciple from Blood Slaughterer Peak, and seemed to be called… Ajin Pardo?
Were they dispatching veteran diamond belt disciples for the championship battle?
Looks like it was going to be quite a challenge
When the disciples outside the mountain range saw the prince ascend the peak and encounter Ajin from Blood Slaughterer Peak, a commotion naturally ensued.
"To think that it would be senior brother Ajin Pardo…"
"This championship battle involves veteran diamond belt disciples?"
"The other 9 have also been stopped by someone, all of whom are extremely powerful veteran diamond belt disciples from the various peaks..."
"Could this championship battle be about who will be able to defeat these veteran diamond belt disciples?"
"That\'s right. The championship battle shouldn\'t require them to defeat senior brother Ajin and the rest…"
"..."
Many whispers echoed within the crowd. The format of the championship battle had clearly taken many by surprise.
Atop one of the mountain peaks, Ella and the other girls were also watching the scenes inside the spiritual energy mirrors.
"Ajin Pardo from Blood Slaughterer Peak…" A look of astonishment flashed across Ella Abella\'s gorgeous and icy face as she said, "It seems like Ezra Zephyr and Blood Slaughterer Peak are fated to be pit against one another. Can\'t believe he still managed to run into them after picking a path at random."
A look of thought could be seen on her face as she continued, "To think that sect master and the rest would send out the veteran purple sash disciples. I believe the goal of this championship battle won\'t be for Ezra Zephyr and the rest to defeat their opponents, but how long they will be able to last against these veteran disciples."
Ella looked at others and said, "If so, Ezra is quite the unlucky one. If it was anyone else from another peak, that person would likely hold back a little. However, there is no way that Ajin Pardo will be showing any mercy.
Therefore, Ezra\'s hopes of winning the championship might be dashed."
At this point, she felt a little regretful for him. After all, she had personally witnessed how the prince had fought all the way to reach this juncture. Who could have imagined that he would encounter such a strong foe at the final stage.
Elder Rilda\'s hands gently stroked Ella\'s shoulder. Her clear eyes gazed at the two figures facing each other in the spiritual mirror, as she slowly said, "Ella, you\'ll never know what\'s going to happen until the end."
Ella was slightly shocked and responded with slight annoyance, "Elder, don\'t you think that you are blindly putting too much faith in Ezra? The reason why he was able to eliminate Umor and the rest was because they did not know about his hidden trump card, allowing him to lure them into the valley and set up a boundary. However, Ajinis likely already aware of this information, and there is no way that he will allow Ezra to set up a boundary.
Without the boundary, Ezra may not even be able to defeat Umor\'s entire team with his own strength, let alone Ajin, a veteran diamond belt expert."
Ella was a fairly logical person. That was why she could not understand Elder Rilda\'s thoughts.
She did not deny that Ezra was extremely outstanding. However, she believed that there were still limits. He was currently only at the 6th level stage, and if Elder Rilda believed that Ezra would be able to match Ajin in a clash of spiritual energy, she would be severely underestimating the 1 whole level gap between them. However, Elder Rilda was a seasoned elder of the sect and way more experienced. And this fact is what irritated Ella the most.
