After the fight between Athan vs. Mike and Qerin was over, with Athan winning, the official tournament started.

The second match was Mike vs. Deister, but Mike couldn't use his genome skills as he had yet to recover his genome energy. But he still won because the passive of his genome art was usable, and he defeated his opponent after a minute of exchanging moves.

After that came Qerin's match, and by that time, she had recovered enough genome energy to release one skill. After exchanging blows with her opponent, she used Sheen of Doom to make her opponent incapacitated in an all-around manner and knocked him out.

It didn't take long for one round of the competition to finish.

Six people from Great Bridgade Palace and four people from Chaos Monolith Hills proceeded to the next round of 1v1.

The four from Chaos Monolith Hills were rank 1 ( rank 3 in the leaderboard ) Demon Gobi, who won against rank 1 from Great Bridgade Palace, Rank 2 ( rank 4 in the leaderboard ), Ardusk, who won against Rank 2 from Great Bridgade Palace, and Rank 4 and 6.

These four fought against four people from Great Bridgade Palace while Mike and Qerin were selected to fight each other for obvious reasons.

Both Mike and Qerin fought in all-out battle as they used their Geno frame and Geno skills, making everyone in the stadium in awe once again.

In the end, Qerin won as Mike smiled wryly, " Babe is as tricky as always. "

Qerin chuckled before she flicked Mike's forehead and said, " I told you to practice some movement boosting order techniques. Now you see? I won after we consumed our Geno energy and broke the stalemate. "

" Well, I am already training in one, but it's not mastered yet since I just picked it recently. " Mike spoke as he scratched the back of his head with a grin.

" Alright. Stop flirting, you two. We are moving to the next round. " Hoblet spoke as both Mike and Qerin separated after a chuckle.

...

The top five were already selected, so now it was time to decided the rankings.

In this round, it was a chaotic battle with five of them fighting in the stadium.

The first to get knocked out from this fight was a girl from Great Bridgade Palace, cementing her ranking at 5th.

After that, Demon Gobi was knocked out by Qerin, cementing his ranking at 4th place.

Ardusk went crazy and made an all-out attack on Renxal, the other Great Bridgade Palacem member, which caused him serious injuries and knocked him out. But after that, He was also knocked out.

Qerin was a bit speechless because they practically gave up on fighting her.

1st Rank, Qerin.

2nd Rank, Ardusk.

3rd Rank, Renxal.

4th Rank, Demon Gobi.

5th Rank, Kioree.

...

" This concludes the first competition, Hahaha. Congratulations, winners. " Sabod spoke with gusto with a laugh and gave the top 4 a storage pouch containing their rewards.

After that, He announced that the next competition would start after five days.

Athan and others, including Tiana and the group, returned with Athan to Efyeed as they had made some plans to go out together to eat.

...

But on the other hand...Munvlad and others returned from special-grade CPD...with two fewer people with them.

They were nineteen, but only seventeen returned.

They had weary faces and were not in a good mood because that special-grade CPD turned out to be too much for them.

They had gains in this adventure but not as much as they expected to get from a special-grade CPD because the power ceiling of this CPD was higher than general special-grade CPDs.

After they freshened up from the exhaustion, they sat down in the hall Star-Breaker Hill faction's backyard Hill pavilion and discussed.

After a while, Munvald stood up and said, " So it's decided; we will go there again once we breakthrough to Evagon Zen order base. For now, I am going to meet someone. "

After saying that, he left.

Illias and others were surprised and asked, " Who is he going to meet? Usually, the person would come to him if he wanted to meet someone. "

Coddys wryly smiled and said, " He has taken a rather high liking to someone. Although she has rejected him multiple times, Munvald is not backing down. "

" What! Who is stupid enough to reject him? All this time, Munvlad never set his sight on anyone because he thought all beneath him. So what's with him now? " Crisenia spoke with a startled expression.

Coddys smiled weakly and said, " That girl, her name is Avelia. She is actually a monstrous genius too. Her potential is higher than Munvlad, and just after a year entering Orderic Catastrophe, she defeated a zen order elite. She posses some strange power that is not from Lower-Chaosverse. "

...

While they were talking, Munvald flew outside and took out his contact card to talk to someone before flying in the direction of the guest mansion.

After reaching there, He met with a person who wore a hood outside of the mansion and asked in a deep voice, " Where is she? "

" Follow me, sir. " The hooded person spoke as they both moved towards Efyeed's direction.

Munvald had asked about Avelia location through his contact card, but the hoody person said that Avelia was not in the guest Mansion. So both met up as the hoody person was now leading Munvlad to Efyeed.

The hoody person saw that Tiana, Avelia, and the group were staying with Athan and his group, so he asked around about where Athan and his group stay and got answers easily.

After all, everyone now knows that he owns chaos enlightenment tree, and the location he stays has become famous in a way.

But after they reached there, Munvald's face turned dark, " Where is she? I told you to keep an eye on her. "

The hoody person trembled a bit before he answered, " S-sir...I didn't get close to them, but last I knew, Th-they all returned here after the competition was over. B-but it's...it's o-ok...They must have gone out, but ultimately, they will return here. "

The hoody person was feeling the pressure as he hurriedly spoke.

Munvald snorted with a cold face as he decided to stay here and wait for her to return.

...

Currently, Athan, Tiana, Avelia, and others were sitting inside a restaurant and eating delicious food.
