Dragon Covenant

Chapter 33

The people in the audience exclaimed in surprise, "Albert is really a freak!

Excitement surged in Adam's eyes. In the next moment, his cyan soul power surged violently, and his figure shot out like the wind. His speed exploded to the extreme at this very moment.

However, just at the instant when his speed burst out, he suddenly felt that his body had somehow lost its sense of balance, and he was inexplicably lifted into the air.

Adam's expression changed drastically as he looked down. Then he saw that, at his feet, a faint blue soul power had somehow wrapped around them.

That blue soul power was just like a water snake, entangling both of his feet together. And precisely because of this, when his speed burst out, his body lost its balance.

"What is this..."

Adam's pupils constricted.

Albert in front of him, looking at Adam who had lost his balance and was flying towards him, showed a smile and said, "A low-level soul technique, Water Snake."

"Adam, you were careless."

While speaking, Albert took a step forward and pushed out with both palms. When the power of the water element surged, it seemed to bring the sound of waves.

Amid Albert's words, those two palms directly landed on Adam's chest.

"Damn it, Albert! You're cheating!" Adam cursed loudly.

Boom!

While cursing, his body was directly sent flying backwards and finally crashed heavily outside the arena.

And at the moment of falling, a mouthful of blood spurted out from Adam's mouth three feet high. A large amount of blood gushed out from under his clothes and instantly turned him into a blood-soaked figure, causing a panic around.

Albert on the stage was also stunned for a moment. Then the corner of his mouth twitched. This amount of bleeding was really excessive! Was this oddball planning to extort a large sum of money from David and then drop out of school?

The commotion in the audience lasted for a while and finally subsided as Adam was quickly carried away. However, in the glances that were cast at Albert from around, there was a bit of fear in them.

Apparently, they were frightened by Albert's heavy-handed attack.

Seeing this, Albert was also a bit speechless. He cursed Adam inwardly for being such an asshole, who had unjustly implicated his reputation for nothing.

When Albert walked down the platform, Simon came up to him. "Albert, you're really fierce now. You've defeated Adam."

"That guy was careless. If the fight had continued, I could have beaten him, but it would have taken some time."

With his current strength, he should be among the best in the 7th stage. With such strength, it should be no problem for him to enter the top 20.

If he won both matches tomorrow, his ranking would be able to enter the top 20. Then he wouldn't fight anymore and would take a break. It was said that those who entered the top 20 could participate in the academy's major examination. There was no need to waste time here.

Albert didn't leave the school immediately because the opponents for tomorrow's two matches would be announced soon. He wanted to see who his opponents would be tomorrow.

He didn't have to wait for long. The big bell in the square rang. Albert and Simon walked towards the stone wall. The area around the stone wall was already surrounded by people. Albert's eyes swept over the words on the stone wall.

The first opponent was someone with 7th-stage strength from Class One. He should be a bit weaker than Adam. But when Albert saw the second opponent, his eyes narrowed. It was David.

Simon beside him also saw it and immediately shouted, "Albert, you're doomed tomorrow! You're going to fight David!"

Sympathetic looks were cast from around.

David was now at the 8th-stage realm. This was really unlucky. Simon sighed.

Albert wasn't too surprised. Those who could stay until now were not weaklings. But it didn't matter. Even if he lost one match tomorrow, it would still be a sure thing for him to enter the top 20.

On the other side of the square, David saw the list on the stone wall. He stared at Albert's name and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Rosalie asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly smile?"

"Because I've met an opponent that makes me happy tomorrow. It seems that God is helping me."

Rosalie looked towards the stone wall and said, "You've actually run into Albert?"

Rosalie knew David's strength best. In the Navia Academy, only Kelly could be a bit better than him. And David had a grudge against Albert. Whether it was for personal reasons or family feuds, I'm afraid Albert would be in a difficult situation tomorrow. At this moment, Rosalie felt a bit sorry for Albert.

After knowing who his opponents would be tomorrow, Albert bid farewell to Simon and then left the academy.

In the carriage on the way home, Albert was thinking about the battle with David tomorrow. It seemed that tomorrow's battle would be very difficult. The opponent not only had the strength of the 8th stage but also possessed a 7-star Red Eagle Beast soul.

Don't underestimate a 7-star soul. Souls are divided into 1 to 9 stars. Once it reaches 7 stars, it belongs to a high-star soul. Once a soul reaches 7 stars, the soul power cultivated from it will also become a bit different. Simply put, it will be more full of spirituality.

Spirituality is rather illusory. Only when you fight against it can you feel it. So, 7 stars is a watershed.

Whether it was in terms of cultivation level or soul level, Albert was completely behind David. No one was optimistic about Albert, not even himself. 

Although his Water-light Element Soul was rather unique, it was ultimately a 5-star soul. Although the Water-light Element Soul could be comparable to a 7-star soul in refining soul liquid, it might not be the case in a real battle. If he could upgrade the Water-light Element Soul to 6 stars, his pressure would be much less. However, it would still take some time to evolve it to 6 stars, and there wasn't enough time.

Or he could just admit defeat!
