Free Web NovelChapter 620: Chapter 355: Academy Ranking Tournament (Part 2)
At this moment, he was in a world similar to the previous Divine Fire Domain, a blank white world, but the difference now was that this world was filled with many people, its center hosting hundreds of thunderbolts with figures conversing amid the noise.
Life Source Power was erupting in the distance.
Canaan Academy currently had over a million students enrolled, with over ten thousand new students joining each year.
This is an extremely terrifying number.
Luckily, it was in the Illusory Domain; otherwise, accommodating over a million students gathering would be almost impossible.
Even Thor felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
And as he was being overwhelmed with awe.
The mechanical voice beside his ear rang again.
"Student authentication!"
"Authentication successful!"
"Student Thor Dressrosa, Type: Special Enrollment, would you like to participate in the academy ranking tournament?"
This unexpected voice made Thor pause for a moment, but he soon reacted. It wasn’t the voice of the Golden Finger, but the voice of Canaan Academy.
"Participate!"
Upon hearing the voice, Thor did not hesitate and chose to participate.
"Ding, as you applied to skip the first round, the second round will officially start tomorrow."
"Your match number is 112554!"
"Your arena is number one hundred seventy-two."
The mechanical voice rang out again.
Thor’s gaze soon shifted to the thousands of arenas, each numbered.
He quickly found the arena belonging to him.
A thought stirred in his heart.
The next moment, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, his figure was already beneath arena number one hundred seventy-two.
But just as he appeared, his expression froze.
Because on the arena at that moment was a familiar figure.
Seventeenth Princess Thelis Kapei.
The present Seventeenth Princess was not in a beautiful, lavish gown from memory, but in combat attire, her stunning face solemn, fighting against a knight with a barrel helmet obscuring their features.
Their strengths were both formidable.
It was clear Thelis Kapei had reached the level of Earth Knight.
And her opponent was also an Earth Knight, even slightly stronger than Thelis in power.
But in terms of Life Source Power, that individual was entirely suppressed by Thelis at this moment.
Losing was merely a matter of time.
This was, in fact, true.
"Boom!"
A terrifying Life Source Power erupted, and in the next moment, that figure flew backward.
"Student Thelis Kapei wins, advancing to the next round."
A mechanical voice sounded.
In the next instant, a flash of light, and the two figures disappeared.
Then more figures appeared on the arena, and the new matches began.
"Thelis, you’re still so powerful."
A girl appeared, and two girls beside her quickly gathered around, speaking excitedly.
"Hee hee, there’s still far to go!"
Their joyful voices resounded.
Sometimes drawing gazes from around.
Thor did not pay attention to these; his gaze looked over after the battle.
Then his figure appeared in other arenas.
Until he finished viewing one thousand arenas, his figure gradually disappeared.
Without choosing to linger.
Clearly, as the first-round matches, most were unspectacular.
Special enrollment students could skip, and some powerful students could skip as well.
The strongest in the first round were only those below the Sanctuary level, the Half-Step Sanctuary, with not even one at the Sanctuary level.
For him at the present moment, there was no need even to observe.
Shaking his head.
Thor’s figure vanished in the white light that enveloped him.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the Natural Forest.
"I wonder if Reine passed?"
He muttered to himself, then glanced at the distance, preparing to use the mark to return to the Elf Realm.
But just as he was about to act, his gaze instantly shifted to the distance.
"Such a rich blood aura?"
"This is?"
His expression was somewhat puzzled.
Even though this place is the Natural Forest, due to the presence of elves, detecting blood aura nearby is usually very difficult.
Before reaching the Divine Domain realm, he didn’t feel much, but now at the Divine Domain, he sensed it instantly.
His eyes flickered briefly.
Thor did not choose to rush forward.
The current situation on the continent wasn’t very good.
Even though his Divine Domain strength was decent, and in the past there was no issue, it’s prudent to exercise caution now.
More so, there was still a host here.
"Buzz!"
A ripple spread, and in the next moment, green brilliance enveloped him, making Thor’s figure disappear.
In the Elf Realm, Thor’s figure appeared.
Thor didn’t hesitate and quickly went to the place of the Ancient Tree of Life.
But before he could request an audience with the Elf Queen.
Ivira stopped him.
"The Elf Queen is in seclusion?"
Listening to Ivira’s words, Thor was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, taking Anna with her."
"This will greatly help Anna."
Ivira spoke excitedly.
"This!"
Thor frowned slightly, surprised that he would encounter such a situation.
"What happened?"
Ivira noticed Thor’s expression and asked with a touch of surprise.
Thor hesitated briefly and still described the situation he sensed outside.
"Blood aura?"
Ivira asked with surprise.
"Yes, a very dense blood aura."
Thor nodded slightly.
"This!"
Ivira also frowned.
In the Natural Forest, at least surrounding the Elf Realm, generally there shouldn’t be any abundance of blood aura.
But it appeared now.
Even Ivira felt something was amiss.
"Let me check it first!"
After a brief pause, Ivira spoke.
"For the time being, don’t go over there!"
"Wait for one night!"
Thor shook his head, then spoke in a deep voice.
He had a feeling something was unusual.
In this kind of situation, rashly investigating wasn’t a good choice.
By comparison, it was better to see how the Golden Finger reacted.
"Wait for one night?"
Ivira murmured in surprise.
"Yes, just listen to me!"
"Additionally, have the elves return promptly to avoid any incidents."
Thor nodded, then spoke.
"Okay!"
Though Ivira still had many questions, she quickly agreed.
Having spent time with Thor, even if Ivira occasionally grumbled, she still trusted Thor very much.
Ivira quickly took action.
Thor returned to his abode.
At the moment, Marco and the members of the Knight Order were gathered here.
Compared to before.
They had only been around the Ancient Tree of Life for three days.
Yet the Life Festival, even if not in the presence of the Ancient Tree of Life.
The rich Power of Life still affected them.
At this moment, many experienced noticeable improvements.
Several even reached mid-stage Earth Knight.
This almost crossed over their ten years of accumulation.
Among them, Marco was on the verge of touching the threshold of Sky Knight, to Thor’s astonishment.
"This is a bottle of High-Level Life Potion, Marco, break through to Sky Knight as soon as possible!"
After a brief pause, Thor looked at Marco, speaking in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Marco’s body trembled slightly and he hurriedly accepted the potion respectfully.
This period, along with progressing on the journey and experiencing this Life Tide, his strength had reached a limit, with the next step being Sky Knight.
This result was beyond what he dared imagine in the past, yet he easily reached it now.
And he still had the chance to advance further to a higher level.
"Alright, next, you should focus on your training."
"We will be staying here for three months; anyone who reaches Earth Knight Peak will also receive a High-Level Life Potion."
Thor spoke, directing his gaze towards the others.
