Chapter 1914


    Nortrom’s demand started a ripple of murmurs as every eye in the stadium was fixated on him.


    Before, the crowd was merely jeering and mocking without expecting anybody, least of all Nortrom, to


    be that outspoken in his disdain toward the Erudians.


    Nortrom gazed at the Erudianpetitors and gave augh of derision. “I can kill all of you without


    even breaking a sweat. If you can’t send anybody worthy, just do yourselves a favor and withdraw from


    thepetition. Why make things difficult for everybody?”


    The others chimed in, emboldened by Nortrom’s remark. “Don’t embarrass yourselves further by


    sending in subparpetitors like them. They are not fit topete against us.”


    “That’s right. We urge Erudia to withdraw from the Elites Conference! They are not worthy!”


    “That’s right! Keerea requests that they withdraw from thepetition!”


    “He has a point!!”


    Thepetitors of the other nations expressed their unanimous desire one after another to the shock


    of all of the Erudians at the stadium.


    They had initially thought that they would be humiliated by having their representatives thrashed when


    thepetition began, not expecting to endure the greater shame of not even being allowed the


    chance topete at all.


    These foreigners are adamant about forcing us out of thepetitionpletely.


    The Erudians were not expecting that.


    “What does the Cardinal Hall of Erudia feel about it? Look at the candidates you’ve offered. They’re all


    pathetic! If they were allowed topete, they would just be beaten and mocked!”


    “Rather than putting them through the suffering, why not spare them altogether? At least Erudia won’t


    be remembered as the nation who got beaten soundly.”


    “That’s right. Don’t you Erudians have any shame? You might as well notpete!”


    The jeering from the crowd began again asughter erupted from all sides to the fury of the Erudians.


    The fury was felt more so by the ones who had been elected topete at the veryst minute. “We


    are not afraid of anybody!” they shouted, clenching their fists as their faces grew red with indignation.


    “We will not allow you to insult us!”


    “That’s right! Nobody is allowed to insult us!”


    Nortrom gazed at them with disgust. “You bunch? Come at me at once. Since thepetition has not


    begun, I’ll use you as a warm-up.”


    “You are asking for it!”


    Nortrom’s bold im greatly angered the Erudianpetitors. They made a dash toward the arrogant


    challenger.


    One by one, they unleashed everything they knew. Fueled by their rage, their martial abilities were


    greatly enhanced.


    Unfortunately, the gap between their skill and Nortrom’s was vast.


    True to his im, Nortrom was more than a match against all the Erudianpetitorsbined.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    One by one, the Erudians were sent flying.


    In the span of several minutes, the sixty-seven Erudianpetitors were left strewn all over the ground


    writhing in pain.


    Though their faces were contorted in pain and anger, they were unable to do anything about it as their


    skill was indeed vastly inferior to Nortrom’s.


    We can’t beat him.


    Jeeringughter erupted throughout the crowd, who did not even bother hiding their disdain this time.


    The Erudians in the crowd were bbergasted. Thepetition had not even begun and the carefully


    selected Erudianpetitors were beaten soundly by Nortrom.


    It is all over. There is nobody left topete for Erudia in the Elites Conference. It is even worse to be


    wiped out by a single cocky foreigner. What a shameful moment it is for all Erudians.


    The Erudians kept their heads down, being aware that what their fighters had suffered was even more


    disgraceful than to have been beaten inpetition.

    We will not be able to look a foreigner in the eye ever again.


    The Erudians were so furious at the mockery made at their expense that they were about to pass out.


    Nortrom stood above them with his arms raised as he swept a nce over the arena. “I was right,


    wasn’t I?” he shouted. “They are all pathetic. I have single-handedly ttened all of them.”


    “How is a bunch of losers worthy to be ourpetition?” The other contestants chimed in.


    “Erudia has nobody left to offer!” Nortrom shouted triumphantly.


    “Says who?” answered a voice suddenly.


    The crowd spun around and saw Levi appearing at a distance, leading arge group behind him.


    Amongst them were the top three of Erudia’s Stone List and the other martial artists, all back to full


    health and ready to fight.
