Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================================

As soon as the battle royal came to an end, a group of disciples that were watching Arthur as a hawk whispered among themselves and one of them stood up and left.

​ The disciple who left went to send word to the Blood Sword Faction in the inner court.

....

At the hall that belonged to the Blood Sword Faction within the Inner Court.

The inner disciples of the Blood Sword Faction were chatting happily about a matter until a disciple walked in.

The disciple reported that he had just received information about the matters that occurred in the just concluded battle royal.

The hall went silent as they heard what the disciple came to report.

"So you mean he defeated all of them without breaking a sweat?"

"That is what I was told."

"But thinking about it, he does have the qualifications to be a little arrogant. But just a little. It could also be that he was exhausted and was simply faking it to keep up his appearance."

"Hmm, that should be the case. Although he isn't too weak in the outer court, I refuse to believe he was not strained or exhausted in the least."

"Nevertheless, his actions must have left a deep impression in the outer court, and we must ensure that we suppress it."

"You are right, the brat must be feeling smug right now, eh?"

"Hahaha! He has no idea that we are not done yet. I, Sakir do things thoroughly, and he will see how thorough I can be!"

"I trust you Sakir, he has no idea how much influence Lord Crixus has in the sect."

"Immediately contact the elder, and tell him to continue as planned."

````````````

Seeing Arthur standing victorious as if he didn't just defeat hundreds of Gold Core Realm disciples on his own, the hearts of the crowd was stirred up.

"Wow! He did it!"

"It appears he wasn't as arrogant as he was portrayed after all."

"Yeah, seeing the results right before our eyes, it is clear that he is no weakling. And more importantly, he is one of the best geniuses that I have ever seen."

"You are right, I mean, have you ever seen someone learn a martial arts technique so fast?"

"No, and if I didn't know any better, I would have suspected that the sect had somehow lent the techniques to him long before now to learn."

The spectators began to discuss the battle that just occurred with great interest. And the more they discussed the more their impression of Arthur increased.

"But he still needs to take on the top ten, right?"

"Yes, I remember he announced that he will be taking first place in this outer court ranking battle."

"Hmph! Although I acknowledge that he is strong, I still think he is overestimating himself if he thinks that the number one disciple, Mark, is someone he can beat."

"I think so too, but I also feel he has a chance for the top ten..."

The discussions continued and the Elder announced the end of the Battle Royal, now that there are three hundred people left.

As the disciples discussed, the place began to get noisy, until one of the elders shouted, "Silence!"

The noise stopped and the people knew that the next round was about to begin.

"Listen up! Now that the battle royal has come to a close, we will now enter the next round."

"Out of three hundred of you, we will still have to eliminate ten of you from the competition."

The Outer Court Rankings will only have a total of three hundred people and the top ten did not participate in the battle royal.

Arthur wondered why they did not just wait until there were two hundred and ninety disciples left on the stage before moving on with the competition.

"Eleven disciples will be chosen randomly and they will fight once more just like the previous round until only one is left."

"The disciples will be chosen at random so get ready!"

The elder flung his hand and eleven tokens landed before eleven persons.

'What, why was I chosen?' To Arthur's surprise, one of the tokens landed before him.

'Is it really random?'

"Now those of you that have the token before you should remain on the stage, and the rest should step down."

The other disciples descended from the stage leaving only Arthur and ten others on the stage.

Arthur looked at his opponents and was beginning to feel that there was a conspiracy behind this.

He thought so because he could sense that of the ten people here, three of them were very strong and they were secretly observing him.

"I never expected the next round to be like this."

"Why would three people in the top thirty be chosen at the same time?"

"It should be a coincidence, I think. But still, this should be interesting."

"Yeah, we are about to find out if Invincible is as strong as the top thirty rankers."

Arthur heard the comments of the crowd and finally understood that the three disciples that were emitting a strong aura were among the top thirty strongest disciples in the outer court.

Now, when you consider that there are over two thousand Gold Core Realm disciples in the Outer Court, to be ranked among the thirty strongest disciples, these three will have incredible strength.

The elder waved his hand and the tokens were removed from the stage.

Arthur noticed that the three disciples in the top thirty were eyeing him, while the others were looking at the three with great vigilance and they would glance at him once in a while.

Arthur raised his head and he met eyes with the elder standing in the air.

In a flash of a second that they locked eyes, he saw a cold look in the man's eyes that disappeared just as quickly as it came.

'So that's how it is, huh?'

"Now that everyone is ready. Let the battle...begin!"
