Chapter 2427 The Request Of Zoey

Pity rose within the hundred young talents at the sight of Levi’s headstrong attitude.

With the specialized battle suit earlier, he could’ve ignored the reality and accepted each of our challenges. But now, the only ace up his sleeve is gone after having removed it. He’ll have no choice but to battle us with his true capabilities. Alas, how could he be our match? Just a blow from Jessica is more than sufficient to wound him severely. Even if she were to pull her punches, he would still suffer some minor injuries. Furthermore, with so many people sparring with him one after another, it’ll be exceedingly difficult for him to leave this place alive. Yet, he’s still persistent and adamant in accepting our challenge!

His tall figure made a lonely picture, tugging at the heartstrings of each and every one of them.

“Be careful, Master, for I won’t be pulling back my punches!” Jessica stated with her eyes trained on Levi.

“It doesn’t matter, just get on with it!”

Levi was already prepared to have her come at him.

At that critical moment, Zoey abruptly cried out, “Wait a minute! Please halt for a moment!”

When her words rang out, everyone swung their gazes at her and wondered about her intention.

“Please gather your people, Sir. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you,” Zoey implored.

In the end, other than the hundred young talents and Levi, all the others gathered together.

“What is it?” Edmund demanded in disgruntlement.

“Sir, I’d like to ask a favor from all of you…”

As soon as Zoey’s words fell, everyone’s expressions changed.

What does she mean?

They all looked at her in puzzlement.

“My husband will undoubtedly lose in the following challenges. Anyone could tell that the hundred young talents’ capability is definitely at the top of the Divine Leaderboard. Hence, he’s definitely not their match,” Zoey expounded.

“Yes, that’s right. So, what’s your point here?” Edmund asked.

“However, the people whom he’ll be losing to were once his disciples. The hundred of them will be defeating him one by one. That’s the most monumental humiliation to him. My husband is a prideful person in the first place, so such a thing will be even worse than death to him. It’ll be another heavy blow to him if his consecutive defeats are witnessed by us all, people with whom he’s familiar! I’m afraid that he won’t be able to take it and will do something extreme. Therefore, I’d like to implore all of you to forgo watching the challenge. How about we allow him to spar with his disciples unobserved? After all, we know that he’ll surely lose.”

At long last, Zoey gave voice to her request.

“I agree! We can’t have him suffering double humiliation! No one will be able to take that! I’m in for it!”

“Hear, hear! We can’t watch the challenge!”

Similar sentiments rang out as Azure Dragon and the others expressed their agreements.

Edmund mulled it over for some time before a smile tugged at his lips.

“All right, then. I agree to forgo watching the challenge and sealing off the training base so that they can spar among themselves.”

He only wanted to embarrass Levi, not planning on driving him to his death.

While it was child’s play to do so, there were too many people associated with him.

Thus, it would be difficult to appease them.

Even the hundred young talents here were already giving him a headache.

If something were to happen to Levi, it would involve too many things and people.

For that reason, he had no choice but to relent.

Returning to the arena, Edmund announced, “Next, you’ll all be having the tournament challenge in private. When you’re done, you can send us a signal as we won’t be watching it.”

Jessica, the Twin Meteorites, and the others promptly understood his intention—to prevent Levi from suffering a double blow.

“Sure! We agree!”

They all nodded their heads.

Clang, clang, clang…

Soon, a shield-like barrier manifested around the training base, sealing it off completely without leaving a single gap.

Meanwhile, Edmund and the others waited outside.

“Be prepared, everyone! I reckon that the battle will conclude in no time, and you’ll be the next to step into the arena. In the end, even I will be joining the action!” Edmund’s eyes glinted with excitement. “Coincidentally, I can use the Iron Golem Technique to train them. The orders from above are to train them no matter the cost!”
