BXBX NOVEL Chapter 452: Has Everyone Gone Crazy!?
The number of participants had already been further chopped down to eighty-five people, of whom twenty were part of Azmond's party.
And of these eighty-five remaining people, including the girls in Azmond's party, everyone, at the very minimum, was in the Seventh Cataclysm, while the majority of the remaining participants were of the Half-Step Mahayana Realm.
Furthermore, of those in the Half-Step Mahayana Realm, Blazeheart and Shadowstrike were expected to win it all with their Peak Stage Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm strength!
"The match will begin in 5 4 3 2"
The high-pitched voice of the announcer echoed out before
"1!"
And as soon as his voice reached 1, the eighty-five remaining people once again went at it with ferocious passion!
SHING! SHING!
Blades and spells were flying all over the place as the stadium lit up in a bright array of colors!
And this time, they rained down more fervently than ever!
After all, the last eighty-five standing participants were forced to take a break for a few minutes as a few 'Super VIP spectators' had shown up in the VIP stands.
Namely, they were the Kings, Emperor's, and Leaders of secret organizations.
Although only those below the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm had shown up, they were still of sufficient status to be called Hegemony's of Asterion!
And of course, there were the Peak Mahayana Realm Experts of the cosmic asteroids that surrounded Asterion.
Though these experts were only mere figureheads that were essentially enslaved by the various overseers, they still held a certain amount of authority.
Furthermore, these weren't the only people who showed up, as the princes, princesses, and close family of these rulers had started filling up the VIP stands!
Many of these descendants were of the Seventh Cataclysm Tribulation Transcendance Realm and above. However, there were a few younger ones that mingled in the crowd.
And many of these young descendants all seemed to have their eyes on a particular blue-haired princess around their age.
"I want her for myself!" A young man with blonde hair yelled with a nasty look on his face.
"You fool! Do you think you are worthy of her with your mere 7th Tier Kingdom lineage!?"
*Smack!*
Another young man with bright red hair smacked the first man across the head before gazing at Aqua with infatuation in his gaze.
"These men are so disgusting" A foreign princess from the Azure Empire muttered, disgust shining through her eyes.
"My mother said we should prepare to leave this planet after this silly competition is over, but having to be around these perverts before that happens makes me want to puke!" The same princess gagged, her hands holding onto one of her friends.
"I know what you mean... My mother had told me the same thing," a green-haired elf princess from a kingdom on Gaia's Sanctum mumbled.
"Why can't we just skip this entire thing and leave already-?" The princess of the Azure Empire was about to continue speaking, but she was interrupted by a sudden cracking sound
CRACK!
It sounded like glass shattering, and before anybody knew what happened, the golden cocoon that Azmond had been in for the last few minutes had started to break apart!
"He's finally coming out!? I thought he was dead!" One of the VIP spectators commented with an astonished expression.
Everyone else in the crowd had similar reactions, as everyone honed in on the goldish cocoon sitting at the edge of one of the five fighting rings.
"???" The new princesses were surprised by this sudden development.
And when they saw the enamored looks on their friends' faces, they knew something was wrong here.
As even in the Celestial Academy, not a single one of these princesses ever showed any emotion as intense as they were emitting now!
"What is going on?" An Azure Empire princess asked one of the princesses who had been here longer than she had.
"You don't know, Ana!? That cocoon holds this man of untold mysteries! He's so mysterious and so cool!"
"???" Ana was beyond confused at the seemingly hypnotized expression on her friend's face.
Has everyone gone crazy or something?? This 'mysterious man' or whatever can't possibly be as great as everyone is making him out to be!
At this thought, Ana turned her dark blue eyes down to the source of all this commotion.
And what she saw were the remnants of a golden cocoon and a man
The man looked like nothing special His aura was a little stronger, and his features were average
But even so
Why do I feel like this man's dull gaze is attempting to suck me in?? Is he playing tricks on everyone here!?
After this thought entered her mind, she turned to her elders, intending to tell them of this oddity.
"!?"
But when she saw their ecstatic expressions, she knew that the man below was not using any sort of charm, for if he was, her elders would've noticed.
What is going on here?? Even my mother seems a little taken aback by the aura being released from this man! Doesn't she have any sense of decency!? Father is right over there!
Ana looked toward her usually stalwart figure with his medium-length blonde hair and saw that he was just as excited as the rest
What in the Azure God's name did I miss while playing around in the Academy!? I was only late by a few minutes!
She couldn't believe she had missed so much, being only a few minutes past when she was supposed to arrive!
Her bewildered gaze scanned through everyone in the crowd, and although the new arrivals seemed fine, the rest of the crowd appeared to be in a trance!
And just as she was about to blurt out that there was a problem, she suddenly looked back at the catalyst of this entire situation.
It was at that moment that she completely forgot what exactly she was going to say
And just like the rest of the spectators, she got sucked into the 'spell' of the mysterious man.
Her eyes glossed over a little as small, faint traces of hearts began to form in her watery eyes.
She too had fallen for the passive charm that Azmond's 'Semon' race was leaking out at all times
