chapter 20 vulnerable

There was silence in the martial arts training ground. Everyone looked at Ethan Sigeweard in horror, as if they were looking at a monster. After a while, the crowd became completely excited. "How is it possible that Ethan is actually at the Battle Master level? A month ago, he didn't even awaken his fighting spirit? Could it be that he has been holding back and is just waiting for the outbreak today?" "Tolerance? How could he have forborne for nine years? He must have only broken through this month. He has broken through to the early stage of a Battle Master in one month. This is too scary." "Early-stage Battle Master? Do you think the early-stage Battle Master can defeat the peak Battle Master?" The crowd was dumbfounded, and all the elders of the Sigeweard family were also dumbfounded. It was incredible that a loser defeated a genius, but today It was really seen at present. In fact, even the Second Elder who was at the Peak-stage Warrior was no match for Ethan and was blown away by Ethan's sword! Those who mocked Ethan before wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. If even Ethan was a trash, wouldn't they be worse than a trash? "How does it feel for a genius who thinks he is above others to be trampled under his feet?" Ethan came back to his senses and looked at Liam Sigeweard and the Second Elder and his son who were lying on the ground indifferently, with disdain in his eyes. Puff! Liam spurted out a mouthful of blood in anger and almost fainted. The Second Elder looked at Ethan coldly, with murderous intent clearly revealed, but at this moment, he didn't even dare to fart, Ethan's eyes were too scary. And that sword strike just now shocked even him. What if this wasn't Ethan's bottom line? "Trash! Collapse at my first hit!" Ethan snorted coldly and walked towards the battle platform alone without even looking at the Second Elder and Liam and his son. Normally, these two were greatly mean to him. If it were not for Joshua's sake, how could Ethan let them go so easily? At least, he would keep one of Liam's legs! Liam's face turned pale for a moment. He was actually called a waste by a waste. Doesn't this mean that he is worse than a waste? "Battle No. 1, Ethan wins." As a voice sounded, the first winner list appeared. No one thought that Ethan would be the second winner. The first winner was naturally Stella. The Second Elder was injured, and the Third Elder temporarily presided over the annual meeting. The Third Elder looked at Ethan who was walking down the stage with amusement, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Stinking scoundrel, that's good. You finally turned over and became the master." The Little Witch looked at Ethan with a smile, as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Ethan looked calm and glanced at Stella from time to time. He had also heard some things about Stella. It was rumored that she was just the daughter adopted by the Second Elder, and she could be regarded as the sister of Liam and Joshua. Three years ago, Stella stole a Fifth-ranked Soul Crystal and a thousand-year blood ginseng from the family and escaped. The Sigeweard family sent people to hunt him down. In the end, Stella was rescued by a descendant of a big family in Ysleve City of the Great Yan Dynasty. The Sigeweard family did not dare to offend that family and had to protect the family's reputation, so they announced that Stella had gone to Ysleve City to practice. But he never thought that Stella would bring four people back here today, and the aura of those four people was obviously stronger than that of the Second Elder. Seeing Ethan's eyes sweeping over Stella and the others, the Little Witch said, "You stinky gangster, these people seem to have bad intentions." "Do you know him?" Ethan asked softly, his brows furrowed. "I don't know these people, but the Third-ranked Soul Beast Golden Azure Wolf should be the special mount of the Huang Family in Ysleve City." The Little Witch said, but there was no big taboo against the Huang Family in her words. " The Huang Family in Ysleve City? It seems that the fun has just begun." Ethan looked solemn. It was obvious that Stella relied on the Huang Family. As for why he came to Xiao City, Ethan did not know. After a stick of incense, the first round list was released. A total of sixteen people guarded the battle stage until the end. Most of the people who stayed were Battle Warrior at mid-level or above. In the second round, they are divided into four groups. Each group of four people fights with the other three people. The one with the highest number of wins advances to the next round. Ethan was assigned to the first group, and those in the same group with him were Joshua, York and Morris. When the Third Elder announced the list of the second round, the Second Elder face darkened and said, "Ryan, my son Liam lost. You put my son Joshua and Ethan in the same group, did you deliberately make me look embarrassed?" Third Elder Ryan smiled and pretended to be surprised, "Second Elder, what you said is wrong. This second round of competition is based on a drawing of lots, not my personal decision." "Hmph, I, Owen, will remember what happened today." The Second Elder snorted coldly. No wonder he was so angry. His genius son was defeated by Ethan, a loser, and he had lost all face. If Joshua lost again, wouldn't it mean that all his sons born to Owen were worse than useless? However, the Third Elder did not even look at him and continued to announce the competition, "The first group, Ethan vs. Joshua, the second group, Stella vs. Gabriel, the third group, Caleb vs. Isaac, The fourth group, Jack vs. Luke" When the crowd heard this, their eyes lit up slightly. This first match was a focus battle, not to mention Ethan and Stella. One of them was a waste and the other was a genius. They were already very attractive. Isaac and Caleb in the third group, and Jack and Luke in the fourth group were all young geniuses of the Sigeweard family who were only weaker than Liam. People came to the four battle stages one after another. The two battles that everyone paid the most attention to were those between Ethan and Stella. They wanted to know how strong Stella would be three years later. They also wanted to know whether Ethan, a waste of the family, could defeat Liam, what is the real bottom line? "I admit defeat." Gabriel looked at Stella opposite him and simply walked off the stage. "The second group, Stella win." The Third Elder Ryan smiled lightly, as if he was very satisfied with the result. On the battlefield where Ethan was, Joshua looked at Ethan with a wry smile and said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply, and it made the second brother worry in vain." Ethan was silent. He didn't know how to explain, and there was no need to explain. He was indeed a Battle Master now, and he didn't use all his strength in the battle just now. "I'm no match for you, I admit defeat." Joshua smiled and walked off the stage in a carefree manner, his body swaying as if he would fall down at any time. Ethan looked at Joshua's back and said nothing. Among the Sigeweard family, he only regarded Joshua as a brother. It was precisely because of Joshua's face that he did not break Liam's legs. "The first group, Ethan win." The Third Elder Ryan smiled evilly, as if the conspiracy had succeeded, and laughed secretly in his heart, "The genius who defeated Liam? When he meets Miss. Stella, he will know what a true genius is. After all, waste will always be waste." The second round ended quickly. What surprised Ethan was that the other person he met, admitted defeat directly, as if he was deliberately sent to the third round. This made Ethan very puzzled and guessed in his heart, This was deliberately arranged by Third Elder Ryan. But for such an arrangement, why were they doing for this? For some reason, Ethan felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. He felt that something would be a little different this year, which contained full of gunpowder and a hint of conspiracy. When the list of four people for the third round came out, Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had caught something.
