“Mr. Great!”

Just as Sean returned to his room, Betty Jefferson stood up to greet him and handed him a dossier, saying, “The list of participants and rules for the academy’s martial arts tournament has been released, similar to previous years. Mr. Hastiff asked me to pass this on to you. It contains information on other branch disciples and introductions to their respective families. Take the time to familiarize yourself with your opponents, know them and know yourself, so that you may be prepared!”

“Alright!”

Sean casually flipped through the dossier, finding it to be very detailed. Clearly, Hastiff had done extensive research beforehand and made thorough preparations for the tournament.

Moreover, some names of branch disciples were highlighted in red for Sean to pay attention to. Betty Jefferson pointed at these names and said, “These individuals have walked more than ninety meters in the hundred-meter bamboo forest, surpassing most branch elites. They have deliberately suppressed their cultivation levels, making them more difficult opponents than Chan. Mr. Great must be cautious and not let his guard down!”

“Especially this Dana Lee from the Dripstone branch!”

“And this Raymond Chang from the Tigerroar branch!”

According to the information, Dana, like Tommy, had achieved a remarkable distance of ninety-three meters in the hundred-meter bamboo forest, showing exceptional talent and potential. Despite being a woman, she possessed astonishing combat capabilities and was rightfully the top disciple of the Dripstone branch. She had even challenged and defeated practitioners in the later stages of dark energy cultivation, demonstrating the ability to fight beyond her level.

“As for Raymond…”

“Similar to Ken, he possessed innate strength. But unlike him, Raymond not only had immense power but also possessed elusive footwork and mastered various weapons, making him a versatile martial artist. His distance in the hundred-meter bamboo forest was only one meter less than Dana’s!”

“Furthermore!”

“The Chang family has an ancestral palm technique called Thunderblade, said to have been created specifically for descendants of the Chang family based on their bloodline. Only legitimate descendants with Chang family blood can practice it, condensing their dark energy to a point and unleashing it in a burst, akin to a thunderbolt. Mastered to perfection, it could possess terrifying power capable of moving mountains and rivers. The name Thunderblade speaks for itself!”

“The current head of the Chang family, Ryan, is a master of dark energy at the Complete Stage, wielding the Thunderblade technique with great prowess, unmatched by adversaries!”

“Raymond!”

“He is Ryan’s grandson, personally trained by Ryan since childhood. It is highly likely that he has also learned the Thunderblade technique, making it his trump card…”

As the daughter of the Jefferson family, a disciple of the Plainwater Town branch, Betty Jefferson had some knowledge of elite disciples from other branches. Particularly, outstanding disciples like Dana and Raymond, who could surpass ninety meters in the hundred-meter bamboo forest, naturally drew attention from all sides.

Otherwise, Sean’s astonishing achievement of ninety-nine meters would not have shaken the entire North Kingdom!

“Oh?”

Sean raised an eyebrow, smiling, “It seems like tomorrow’s academy tournament won’t be too boring!”

Upon hearing this, Betty Jefferson rolled her eyes and reminded, “Pride comes before a fall, Mr. Great. Although you are powerful, those highlighted by Mr. Hastiff should not be underestimated!”

“If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of Mr. Great, the champion in the mid-stage of dark energy in this year’s tournament, almost everyone believed that the competition would be between Dana and Raymond!”

“I heard…”

“They have never been defeated in battle at the same level!”

Similar to Chan before, each of the eighteen branches had a top disciple who was unbeatable in their respective branch. Until the moment of actual confrontation, the outcome and what might happen during the battle could not be predicted. The results of combat did not always correlate to the achievements in the hundred-meter bamboo forest, which represented the strength and potential of academy disciples and their aspirations to reach bright energy. However, it did not guarantee that disciples who walked further would always be stronger!

Otherwise, rankings based solely on the hundred-meter bamboo forest performance would suffice, there would be no need for the tournament.

“Have I become arrogant?”

Sean shook his head, modestly saying, “I did not ask for them to join me. I already regard them highly!”

Betty Jefferson, completely speechless, realized that this “Great Ape” was nothing more than a pretentious show-off, frustratingly so.

“Don’t worry!”

Taking the dossier with him, Sean walked towards the bedroom without looking back, “I will read it!”

Of course, he would read it. However, Sean’s intention wasn’t to study the branch disciples but to understand the families behind them. With each branch having six slots for participants in the early, mid, and late stages of dark energy, there were a total of three hundred and twenty-four branch disciples participating in this year’s tournament. These families behind the branch disciples almost spanned the entire North Kingdom!

Therefore, through the dossier and list, Sean could gain a detailed understanding of the distribution of families in the North Kingdom, which would undoubtedly be valuable in potential conflicts between the North Kingdom and the Shirine Empire in the future.

“Mr. Great…”

As Sean reached the bedroom doorway, Betty Jefferson suddenly stopped him, her cheeks flushing for no apparent reason. Fidgeting, she asked, “Um… Since you’ve returned, do… Do you still want me to, um, continue calling you?”

Sean was taken aback!

In the past few days, whether at the Plainwater Town branch or within the headquarters, Betty Jefferson had been calling him almost every day and night. Whenever Sean was alone with her, she would insist on calling him for a while!

“It’s not necessary!”

Turning to look at Betty Jefferson, Sean felt a bit embarrassed, “You’ve worked hard these days. You don’t need to do that anymore. Just take a good rest!”

Having said that, Sean entered the bedroom alone!

Patric Harris had signed up to challenge Sean in the upcoming tournament, no holds barred. Sean’s goal had been achieved, and whatever lay ahead, Sean could handle it on his own…

Meanwhile, in the imperial city of the North Kingdom, within the Hall of Great North, Donald was reporting to Albert about his findings from the visit to Buddha Academy!

After hearing him out, Albert Sitwell asked in a stern tone, “According to your words, Great Ape and his Gorillas are not North Kingdom citizens, but travelers to various countries who have also killed princes and heirs in other nations?”

“And you, at the Complete Stage, were unable to harm him?”

It must be admitted that even Albert was greatly shocked by Donald’s words, stirring up a considerable turmoil within him.

Previously, Albert had suspected that the sudden appearance of the Gorillas was related to Sean, hence sending Donald personally to Buddha Academy to investigate!

Now, the results he received were far beyond Albert Sitwell’s expectations!

“Yes,”

Donald Sitwell replied respectfully, “I can confirm that Great Ape is undoubtedly in the mid-stage of dark energy.”

“Furthermore,”

“Based on my observations, Great Ape does not seem to be lying. He exudes absolute confidence, and if I had attacked him, I would have perished before him!”

“Therefore,”

“I suspect that among the Gorillas, there should indeed be a strong practitioner of bright energy, even infiltrating Buddha Academy to personally ensure Great Ape’s safety!”

Upon hearing this, Albert Sitwell’s expression grew even colder and more grim. After a moment of contemplation, he gestured, “You may go now. You will be in charge of tomorrow’s tournament. Proceed according to the plan!”

“Yes,”

Donald Sitwell replied without hesitation, then turned and left the Hall of Great North.

Once Donald Sitwell had left, One Shot appeared once again in the Hall of Great North. Albert Sitwell glanced at One Shot and inquired, “How is it going with Leopold?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“After Great Ape and Leopold met, have there been any unusual movements???”
