BXBX NOVEL Chapter 450: How Is This Even Allowed!?
"What about me!?"
"You bastards! Stabbing me!?"
"How could you!?"
Every single one of the five Fifth Cataclysm Cultivators had been attacked by each other when they made that scissor attack!
However, that shouldn't be possible! They weren't some amateurs who didn't know how to control their strength!
And yet
-
'It looks like Calista's boons are helping me out quite a bit,' Azmond thought with a gratified smile on his face.
He was already missing his little angel, but she was in the middle of a fight as well, so he let her be.
Azmond and the girls had already agreed beforehand that they would not interfere in each other's battles unless absolutely necessary.
After all, they all considered this some form of trial for themselves.
Plus, fighting hundreds of people near you in strength was hard to come by when you had nearly reached the top.
Nonetheless, Azmond still had a fight to finish up, so he took himself out of his thoughts before screaming, "I need money to do a power-up! If only anyone was kind enough to help this lone warrior!?"
After his pleading words sounded throughout the Coliseum, Marina giggled a little, while the rest of the viewers went into a frenzy!
HOORAAH!!
They cheered while throwing trillions upon trillions of gold coins in the corpse-like man's direction!
Even though the majority of them thought he would wind up losing, it was still fun to spend exorbitant amounts of money on entertainment!
BING! BING! BING!
"..."
Azmond watched the varying currencies cover the skies in a vibrant blanket of colors as he assumed this was what heaven would feel like.
Nevertheless, he still had to put on the act, so he floated in the aura above the five cultivators with a pained look on his face.
Following this show of pain, he pocketed all the money before conjuring up some nonsensical goldish-green aura that enveloped him in its warm embrace!
WAAAA!
Extreme levels of energy were being released from the sickly man as his aura immediately soared into the Sixth Cataclysm of Tribulation Transcendance!
"!?" "!?" "!?"
The five Fifth Cataclysm Cultivators were left wide-eyed at this sequence of events!
How was this even allowed!?
They looked toward the announcers and organizers, hoping for an explanation, but all they received in return were shocked expressions.
"Is this allowed!?" One of the organizers asked a different one.
"It doesn't say that you can't use money from the crowd to become more powerful!" An organizer responded while his hands flipped through a rule book.
"But isn't this using exterior means to become more powerful!? It shouldn't be allowed!" A different organizer retorted, his trembling finger pointed in the direction of Azmond.
"It doesn't matter what we think! The rule book says that as long as it isn't direct assistance from a supreme expert, then everything goes!"
"..." "..." "..."
All the organizers went silent after hearing the oldest and wisest of them speak up.
After understanding that there was nothing that they could do, they shot their heads back in the direction of the sickly man, aiming to see how far he would be able to go!
After the release of Azmond's Sixth Cataclysm Tribulation Transcendance Realm Aura, he fell to the ground with a loud
BANG!
The ground floor started to crack a little before the sickly man turned his head up and disappeared.
The five Fifth Cataclysm Cultivators weren't even able to see his movements, and before they knew it
FWIP!
Azmond blurred behind them all at speeds hundreds of times the speed of light!
After reaching them all in an instant, he sent out five consecutive punches to the back!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Five explosions boomed out as five figures were seen sliding down the protective barrier that encased the Coliseum of Dacratas.
Following these quick knockouts, Azmond fell to his knees with an ashen expression.
His knee caps were busted and his skin was razed, as it was clear that he had paid quite the hefty price to be able to emerge victorious!
"!!!" "!!!"
HOOORAAH!!
The crowd went absolutely wild after seeing that the sickly man had come out of that fight on top!
They threw even more money in his direction, hoping to heal him up so he could continue fighting!
Azmond saw an incalculable number of currencies fall to the ground around him, as he knew he would be making it big with this one!
He quickly absorbed them while 'healing himself'.
After which, a few bright blue and gold lights flashed.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have gained x15,000,000,000M Gold*
*Ding!* *You have gained x120 Tier 2 Conqueror Wisps for partially Conquering the hearts of tens of millions of beings*
*Ding!* *Your 'Quantum Conqueror Rank' has increased from the 'Early Stages of the Middle 11th Rank' to the 'Middle Stages of the Middle 11th Rank'*
*Ding!* *Your overall combat power has significantly improved!*
*Ding!* *Your overall combat power has increased from the 'Late Stages of the 3rd Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm' to the 'Peak Stages of the 3rd Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm'*
Following these system notifications, a surge of power was suddenly released from Azmond before it was reeled in just as fast.
Afterwards, he limped away from where he was, aiming to find another opponent to use as a board to con more money out of all these rich fools!

Meanwhile, in the floating VIP stands a few tens of thousands of meters above the fighting rings, a few monsterkin in refined suits were standing behind the ostentatious seat of a blue-haired woman.
"That lady seems awfully familiar, My Lady." The leading man in the suit spoke with a circumspect tone.
It was clear that he was beginning to think that something was up.
"Probably just a coincidence, Sir Percival," Marina replied with a cordial tone.
Even though she knew of this 'Foreign Duke's' true identity as the father of Clawdia and Calista, since it was clear that he didn't wish to reveal his identity just yet, Marina decided to hold off on telling him of Azmond.
And there were also Spiritflame and Ayalah, who were both in 'disguise', as all three of them wore monocles, so as to keep themselves underneath a 'veneer'...
Marina found the entire situation a little ridiculous, but Percival was, after all, in the Peak Mahayana Realm, so if he wanted to play as a Duke, then so be it.
