Ignoring these sarcastic remarks, Fade watched the following arena matches. Round after round, Balton, Jaston, Mina and Saimus became the final four.

In the semi-finals, Balton was paired with Saimus and Jaston with Mina.

Jaston fought Mina for more than 20 minutes. Finally, he finished her off with a fierce bang.

On the other hand, Bolton was much faster. He managed to defeat Saimus in three moves and successfully advanced to the next level.

Bolton would face Jaston in the finals.

Jaston's eyes beamed full of pride. He looked at Balton and said confidently, "After this match, your first place will be mine."

At present, Balton could be said to be the undisputed first.

It didn't matter if they reached the top four the day before or that day itself, they were all impressive.

The crowd looked forward to seeing Jaston live up to his bold words against Balton. They gathered around to watch, while Fade watched from a distance. With a single order, both sides clashed with each other.

Their positive energy surged, stirring up the entire arena. The crowd cried out in surprise.

At that moment, Fade narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "The outcome is evident. Jaston will lose."

"Fade, why do you think so? I don't think Balton has the upper hand either," Joey asked curiously.

Alicia also looked at him curiously. "Although Jaston's character is poor, he is still gifted. Look how strong he has gotten at the age of only seventeen."

"Jaston is indeed talented. When he is at Balton's age in four or five years, maybe he will win," Fade said faintly.

"But now, he's no match for Balton. Be it the strength of his positive energy, the utilization of his physical qualities, or the number of martial essences he has, Balton is still stronger than Jaston." "Most importantly, Balton is very calm. He has no emotional reaction towards Jaston's provocation."

"On the contrary, Jaston was too excited when he challenged Balton for the top spot."

"This kind of hot-blooded outburst may have positive effects at the beginning, but once the effect is gone, the consumption will increase and negative effects will be produced, affecting accuracy and judgment." "Is that so?" Alicia and Joey looked at each other. They couldn't tell much of a difference.

Fade didn't explain further. He smiled and said, "You'll know if you keep observing."

Sure enough, at the beginning, Jaston clashed with Balton in a violent burst. They battled each other and their strength were almost equally matched, which aroused the cheers of the crowd. However, a few minutes later, when Jaston's began to falter, Balton immediately overwhelmed him.

From then on, Jaston stood no chance at all.

Bolton was like a cold, yet calculative machine. He gradually intensified his attack, forcing Jaston back bit by bit, giving him no quarter.

Finally, Jaston fell to Balton's attacks. He was knocked down to the floor of the arena, unable to stand.

Although Jaston was very dissatisfied, he knew very well that Balton was stronger than he was and had him beat. In the end, he surrendered by his own volition.

Thus, the champion and the runner-up were determined.

Balton was now the undisputed champion without a doubt.

Although Jaston had been defeated, he had shown great strength.

Moreover, many captains paid attention to the fact that Jaston was still young. He was only 17 years old. He had great potential. To some extent, he was even better than Balton. Therefore, many team leaders came to him and made offers to recruit this young genius.

Fade's previous achievements had been promptly overshadowed. No one paid attention to him.

The second day of the tournament came to an end and everyone returned to the hotel.

As Fade, Joey, and Alicia had switched teams, they also changed their accommodation after returning to the hotel. After packing up, they came over to stay with Nestor's team members. After a short break, Nestor gathered his team. He spoke with a serious expression.

"Tomorrow will be the last part of the test. It will be a field exploration."

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone perked up with their faces shining with excitement.

Nestor continued with his

explanation. Whether it's

yesterday's tests or today's arena

matches everything had to be done within the rules. In addition, there were staff members on the sidelines watching, thus, the risk of accidents was rare."

"However, under real circumstances, it is almost impossible to have such conditions. Most of the time, battles can be unexpected and sudden. There are not so many restrictions either." "As such, tomorrow's field exploration will be a real practical exercise."

"It will be different from today's one-on-one arena duel. It will be a wild fight without any rules."

"At that time, all the teams will be

thrown onto an isolated island.

There will be mines, spiritual springs, herb fields, and other things on the island. All types of cultivation resources will be provided.

"You will be competing to obtain these cultivation resources. They will be judged by quantity and quality."

"Also, after the exploration ends, all the cultivation resources that you have gathered will be yours. You may leave with them."

Hearing this, many of the team members' eyes lit up with excitement.

"Do you mean we can keep the resources? Is this for real?"

"If I said it, it is true," Nestor reassured them.

Looking over to the excited crowd, he said in a low voice, "Because the resources are real and you can keep them, when the time comes, the struggle for resources will also be real." "At that time, in order to compete for resources, all kinds of tricks might be employed."

"Moreover the leaders will not be

on-site for the field exploration tomorrow. You students will be the only ones there. Therefore, there is a high chance that fighting, injuries, and even death will occur."

"Therefore, don't treat this as a test but as a real battle. If you win, you will receive rich cultivation resources and rewards. If you lose, you might just lose your life."

"Do you understand?"

The students, who had been extremely excited, now looked serious. Looking at him, they nodded solemnly. "Understood!"

"That's great. Have a good rest and prepare for the battle tomorrow."

After that, Nestor left.

The students in the room looked at each other and finally returned to their seats without saying a word. They either sat to cultivate or lay down to rest. No one was in the mood to fool around. At that moment, the same thing was happening in the other houses led by the other captains.
