Chapter 858: First

The battle on the island ended while everybody was discussing.

It only lasted a quarter, but every second of it was spectacular.

Apocalypse performed a secret technique that combined four laws, which then turned into a storm of elements. It seemed as if she were about to tear the universe apart; her destructive aura made the audience gasp.

Even those on the hilltop became solemn.

Holy King, however, seemed to be in possession of some sort of ancient skills; a magnificent shadow that looked like the projection of a god had blocked Apocalypse’s attacks for him.

A blast resounded after a noisy collision; Apocalypse and her pets were pushed to the periphery of the island. All of them were heavily wounded.

On the other side—Holy King stepped out and charged at his opponent; he didn’t seem affected at all except for his damaged robe.

Apocalypse was shocked to see that; her only choice was to resign herself and admit defeat.

The previous attack was already one of her ultimate skills; she had been saving it for the real battles later on. Little did she expect that she would have to use it there, or that she would fail even after using it!

“Humph!”

Holy King stopped with coldness glittering in his eyes upon hearing what Apocalypse had said.

A man flew over to the island when he stopped. It was actually the instructor representing the Amir Royal Academy.

He was afraid that Holy King would continue until he killed Apocalypse. That could be a nasty outcome!

Killing wasn’t forbidden in the Illusionary God Monument Mysterious Realm, but it could not violate the owner’s rules!

“Oh damn!”

“Is he one of the two top experts from Hugh Mia? He’s horrifying!”

“Apocalypse is a genius too; no wonder she ranks second on the Royal Rank. I wonder how strong the person who ranks first can be.”

“Damn it, I have to admit they’re good. We’re all geniuses, but they are real ones, unlike us!”

“All I want to say is that everyone other than me is a genius!”

The audience on the hill sighed in shock.

All of them had been acknowledged as geniuses, each having won a recommendation. But then they realized the massive gap between them once they got there.

Whoosh!

Holy King then flew out of the island and reached the circle where Apocalypse had been seated. He stepped over and sat down disdainfully while everybody else watched.

There were a few other men on the hilltop who didn’t have a seat yet. Their eyes flashed, but none of them did a thing.

They had a good chance of taking Holy King’s seat if they were to challenge him immediately, but they were too proud to take advantage of his weakness.

Even if they defeated the guy, such a victory wouldn’t be glorifying.

A girl inside another circle—holding a blue scepter, wearing a dress and an emerald crown—tilted her head and chuckled. “I knew you could make it.”

She was dressed like a majestic queen, even though she was just a student.

Her looks were sacred and gorgeous; no one was able to harbor any inappropriate thoughts when they laid eyes on her.

“Of course,” Holy King replied casually.

They didn’t communicate telepathically. All the candidates from the Amir Royal Academy heard that and their expressions changed, clearly becoming angry.

“How arrogant!”

Claesabe, who was at the middle of the hill, gritted her teeth in fury. Apocalypse ranked second on the Royal Rank, while he ranked third. If the guy was disrespecting Apocalypse, he would have only thought even less of him.

Oasis Dragon King, who was on a seat on the hilltop, said with cold eyes, “It was just a minor victory. Don’t get ahead of yourself!”

“Huh?”

Holy King stared at Oasis Dragon King and chuckled. “What’s the matter? Reluctant to admit defeat? Talk to me with your fists if you dare!”

Coldness flashed in Oasis Dragon King’s eyes. “I don’t want to take advantage of your wounds, or else you would be talking to me on your knees by now!”

“Ha. These mild injuries are only due to my carelessness. I can easily deal with you as I am!” said Holy King with a sneer.

“Is that so? Do you want to try?” Oasis Dragon King narrowed his eyes aggressively.

“Why not?” Holy King only smiled in disdain.

The girl who was dressed like a queen covered her mouth and laughed. “Do people from the Amir Royal Academy love fighting the same person in turns? Let’s have a fight if we have a chance.”

She was also from the Hugh Mia Academy, the second top warrior!

“I’m a man; I don’t fight women,” said Oasis Dragon King and snorted.

Recognizing his mockery, Holy King chuckled and said, “Then you’ll die in a woman’s arms sooner or later.”

Oasis Dragon King glanced at him coldly but kept silent.

The instructor had already taken Apocalypse back and given her medications; her face was no longer pale, but she still looked grim. She glimpsed at Holy King in silence, then she nodded at Oasis Dragon King as a gesture of gratitude for defending her.

After that, she flew down to the middle of the hill.

She wasn’t in her best shape, and it was hard for her to compete for the seats on the hilltop.

Su Ping was watching everything unfold, then a tall, muscular man with dark skin flew towards him and said co
