Chapter 449 - 443: Fighting a Multitude Single­handedly

Translator: 549690339 |

Battle Square is the busiest place in Rosewood College.

Whether it’s trainers who like to battle to hone their own pet beasts to achieve breakthroughs, or those who enjoy watching battles and betting on them, they can all be found here.

And tonight, the already crowded Battle Square was packed with even more freshmen.

The noisy crowd’s discussions made the entire venue lively, with many students engaged in pet battles on the platforms choosing to temporarily pause their matches and shift their attention to the upcoming Myrtle List Challenge. “Boss will surely win!” shouted a trainer with a Lion Badge on his chest.

“Is that someone from the Highland Battle Club?” asked a gentle-tempered young girl, turning her head to the source of the sound.

Yes, Margaret, that guy is Matthew Brightfield from the Highland Battle Club, ranked eleventh on the Myrtle List, with a Class IV later stage Arcane Star Cultivation and his ace pet beast, the Electric Lion,” Yolanda replied.

“No need to worry, none of them are a match for President David, even Fred Hoyle. They’re all just a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp,” said Sean Wooley indifferently.

“But the President has accepted challenges from eight people at once, including Jackson Grant, who’s ranked fourth on the Myrtle List!” Sylvia Creek revealed a hint of worry in her eyes.

Margaret Yule spoke calmly and confidently, “Have faith in the President. David never does anything without certainty. We just need to wait for the results.”

On the other hand, at the audience seats on the high platform, Richard Goodwin had his arm around a woman in a traditional robe, his gaze focused on the location of Margaret’s group.

“Is this the Purple Haze Club that senior David has formed? The disparities in strength among the members seem huge!”

“Unqualified new students occupy high positions while powerful seniors become subordinates. If it continues to be managed like this, it won’t be long before the Purple Haze Club faces internal strife,” the woman said disdainfully. You re overthinking it. If it were an ordinary trainer who created the club, that possibility might exist. But as long as David is the President of the Purple Haze Club, it won’t fall into chaos,” Richard shook his head.

If he hadn’t been taken as a disciple by Grandmaster Hoyle and couldn’t make a move, he would have definitely wanted to get involved in such a lively event like today’s.

“You crazy guy is here too!”

On the challenger’s side, Jackson Grant looked at Neil Pounce, who seemed out of place in the crowd, with surprise in his eyes.

Despite Neil Pounce only being ranked tenth on the Myrtle List, students of Rosewood College would rather challenge ninth-ranked Douglas Taylor than Neil Pounce due to Pounce’s brutal strategy of battling by trading injuries. Hearing this, Neil Pounce lazily looked up at Jackson Grant without any intention of refuting.

Victory determines the king, and although Pounce didn’t like Jackson’s cunning nature, he had to keep silent as he knew he couldn’t match Jackson’s strength. “What is David trying to do by accepting eight challengers at once?” Douglas Taylor fanned himself with his feathered fan, puzzled.

He originally had no intention of challenging David, as he was quite pleased to see another rising star in Rosewood College.

But David’s ranking on the Buddha List had been stuck at fifteen, constantly being suppressed by Dragonsoar Academy’s Stan Dragonjoy, which made the collectively proud Douglas restless.

In his opinion, as the first placer in the Myrtle List, David should be at least in the top five on the Buddha List.

“Apart from defeating us and successfully defending his rank, what other goals could he have?” A beautiful young girl in a red dress hit the nail on the head.

Ning Jade, a Class VI senior in Class II Trainer’s class, ranked fifth on the Myrtle List with a Class IV apex Arcane Star Cultivation.

She had once defeated a Master level trainer from Phoenix College in the National College Trainer Competition, defending the ranking of Rosewood College last year, and was considered a goddess by many students at the college.

“In order to defend his title successfully, David only needs to accept challenges from two or three people. This means he’s either trying to show off or is using different opponents to hone himself,” Neil Pounce suddenly spoke.

“Are you suggesting David is about to break through again?”

As Ning Jade asked this question, the atmosphere in the challenger’s section suddenly became tense.

For anyone else, the group of proud geniuses would doubt the possibility, but with David involved, the thought weighed heavily on their minds.

Their goal in challenging David wasn’t to become stepping stones for his breakthrough.

“Here comes David!”

At the sudden exclamation from the audience, the students at the Battle Square looked towards the source of the sound.

The crowded crowd suddenly made way for a wide path, and under countless gazes, David, dressed in a white robe, slowly walked up to the Battle Platform. “What a handsome and elegant young man!” Ning Jade’s eyes sparkled slightly. Fame is not as good as meeting in person, and compared to the David in the videos, he now appeared more noble and elegant.

“This battle will be hosted by me. Please have the challengers come up in the order they applied.”

Seeing both contestants arrive, Mason Rodney waved his hand as two giant screens slowly rose on both sides of the Battle Platform, displaying the clear images of the competitors.

“Now, let us welcome our defending champion, David Jones, and challenger

Neil Pounce to the stage.”

However, before Mason could begin introducing the rules, David raised his arm to interrupt his words.

Professor Mason, I have an idea. One by one is too slow. Why not let all eight challengers come on stage at once?”

In order to maintain his top position in the Myrtle List and earn a high number of credits, David has to accept numerous student challenges from time to time, which may more or less affect his Arcane Star Cultivation and Dragon Force Strengthening.

Not to mention, he was planning to spend half a year in retreat in the Beast Refining Tower soon.

To avoid unnecessary tedious battles, David decided to prove his worth through absolute strength.

As for whether this behavior would offend others, David, who now has a Great Grandmaster Pharmacist as his backbone, didn’t care.

“This doesn’t follow the rules.”

Perceiving David’s intent, Mason’s pupils shrank and he decisively refused.

No matter if David truly had the confidence to take on multiple opponents or just wanted to create a spectacle, he wouldn’t allow the Myrtle List ranking competition to begin in such an unorthodox manner!

Meanwhile, after hearing David’s bold declaration, the eight trainers in the challenger’s section looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

What did they just hear?

David dared to challenge all eight of them at once!

It must be noted that if the eight of them teamed up together, they would have a chance of defeating even a Class VI King Beastmaster, let alone David, a Class IV Trainer.

“Has he become too full of himself?” Ning Jade frowned slightly, her impression of David plummeting.
