Chapter 1861

Half a day had passed, and the sacred lake tournament was about to enter the most competitive phase. Nearly forty participants from all the major families in Nontwa City joined the tournament, and Severin's party totaled eleven level nine royal saints. Other prominent families like the Lischalts and the Gahrrs four or five level nine royal saints each, while the remaining contenders represented weaker factions such as the mayor's mansion and other second-tier families.

Following half a day of battling, sixteen contestants had successfully secured their advancement. Notably, eight out of Severin's eleven members had successfully progressed. Diane, Sheila, and Sofia were the only ones who failed to advance, given that they had just attained level nine royal saint. Their slightly weaker stage was therefore somewhat disadvantageous for them against opponents of the same level. However, their valiant efforts resulted in a close contest, and they would have won had luck been

on their side.

News of the remarkable achievements made by Severin's group spread rapidly throughout Nontwo City, surprising many who had not expected a second-tier family like the Chorteaus to have level nine royal

saints. Speculations about the family's sudden luck and strength abounded, and some even began to

strike up a conversation with Rourie before the first day's battles ended.

Kiyu then announced the commencement of the second round, where 16 competitors would vie for the top ten spots. Severin took the opportunity to distribute pills to Wuhlricht and his group in preparation for more intense battles ahead.

The second round promised to be of much greater intensity, as only the strongest participants were able to advance. Their singular goal was to secure a top-ten ranking and the coveted chance to enter the sacred lake. Breaking through to supreme saint was the ultimate aim, and the sacred lake was the only possible route available for one to achieve that. Those who failed would have to wait twenty years before getting another shot at it. A royal saint might be able to live for a thousand years, but there was no guarantee that one would always get a chance to enter the sacred lake.

The first match ended with both contestants battered and bloody, ending in their eventual removal from the arena by the mayor due to their severe injuries and exhaustion.

Kiyu's announcement of the next match caught the attention of the spectators. "The next round will

feature Severin and Thoroldr

The crowd gasped, as a match between Severin and Thorold would only stir much speculation and anticipation.

"They're going head-to-head now!"

"Do you think Severin can defeat Thorold?"

"I have my doubts. Thorold is an inner disciple of the Deifirm Sect, and he has the Thunderbolt Constitution. His lightning-based combat techniques are formidable, and facing him at such an early stage of the second round might be too tough for Severin."

"What a shame."

The spectators were unaware of the true feud that existed between Severin and Thorold, but they had

already begun to express sympathy for Severin's challenging situation. In their view, Thorold was going to go all out on Severin after the latter killed one of Gahrrs' elders in the previous round.
