Chapter 63: Chapter63-What a Cliche? Plot?


    ?


    Countless eyes of the dignitaries and nobles were fixed on the depths of the Royal Arena, filled with anticipation and curiosity.


    "So many prodigies have gathered here; this three-year agreement is the grandest event in years."


    "But why haven''t we seen Owen? Wasn''t he supposed to participate in this three-year agreement as well?"


    "Yes, most of the prodigies are already here. Is Owen not planning to attend? I mainly came here to see him. He has been at the duke''s mansion and hasn''t appeared in a long time."


    After scanning the Royal Arena, many people showed slight disappointment on their faces. The three-year agreement was indeed highly anticipated, but more people wanted to use this event to catch a glimpse of the rising star, Owen.


    After all, Owen was not only unmatched among the younger generation but also outshined the older generation of strong warriors. Who wouldn''t want to see such a legendary figure?


    Meanwhile, in the VIP seats of the Royal Arena, the prodigies and representatives from various forces were also scanning the crowd, searching for Owen.


    The three-year agreement had caused a huge stir back in the day, drawing curiosity and attention from all the kingdoms. However, this attention was not enough to make the kingdoms send such heavyweight figures.


    Their core purpose was to see Owen, to witness if he was as dazzling as the rumors claimed. Owen had previously stirred up a storm in the Azure Kingdom, becoming a renowned figure. How could they not pay attention to such a genius?


    However, after scanning the crowd, they did not see Owen''s figure, causing them to frown slightly and their gazes to fall on Marry.


    Among all the prodigies present, Marry had a good relationship with Owen. It was said that she had sent an invitation to Owen specifically for this three-year agreement. Previously, King Aldric had even intended to marry Marry to Owen.


    Since Owen had not arrived yet, Marry might know the reason.


    Under their watchful eyes, Marry stood beneath the arena, surrounded by members of the Council of Elders and the royal family.


    On one hand, they were there to ensure her safety at this crucial moment, and on the other hand, they were helping her adjust her state and breath.


    With so many kingdoms witnessing this event, Marry could only win; she could not afford to lose.


    Otherwise, the Azure Kingdom''s reputation would be utterly tarnished!


    Marry was clearly aware of this.


    However, her expression remained calm.


    For this day, she had been diligently training, whether in the capital or at the academy.


    According to the intelligence she had received, John seemed to have been training hard as


    well.


    But with her resources and assistance, she did not believe John could surpass her.


    This battle was hers to win!


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Marry was also distracted, searching for Owen''s figure. This battle was meant to put the past behind her and completely sever ties with John.


    On such an important day, she hoped for Owen''s presence.


    Deep entanglement with her would only lead to being drained dry.


    Even he felt a bit wary of her, but he also saw this as an opportunity to get closer to her or the Sun-Moon Sect she represented.


    However, Monroe seemed uninterested in engaging with him. Glancing at Davis, Monroe said


    slowly:


    "Are you free tonight? I''ll be waiting for you in my room. Dual cultivation will benefit us


    both."


    She glanced around at all the male mages present; none of them caught her eye.


    By comparison, the previously unimpressive Davis now seemed like a suitable partner for


    dual cultivation.


    As for Owen, despite the rumors of him being the continent''s top genius, she hadn''t seen him in person and wasn''t sure he would even show up. So, she decided to keep Davis as a backup. Hearing Monroe speak, Davis understood her true intentions.


    He cleared his throat and said, "I think I''ll pass. The other women in your Sun-Moon Sect are


    quite excellent."


    As the Prime Minister''s son, he naturally represented the interests of the royal family.


    The Sun-Moon Sect, being a powerful yet unstable factor, needed to be approached gradually


    and with caution.


    "Besides, don''t you think that John would be a good choice?" Davis''s gaze shifted to the rest area at the edge of the arena.


    John had arrived some time ago, but most of the attention was on Marry and the search for Owen, leaving him largely unnoticed.


    "Gold-tier level 8 is indeed impressive in the mundane world, but it''s not quite up to your standards," Monroe said, shaking her head slightly.


    Seemingly sensing Monroe''s gaze, John felt his blood boil and couldn''t help but look back at her. Seeing her stunning figure and face, a desire to conquer her immediately arose within


    him!


    "Focus, now is a crucial moment for practicing the secret technique!" At this moment, Ymir''s voice sounded in John''s ear, forcibly calming his agitated mind.


    Upon hearing this, John sobered up and restrained his desires, fully concentrating on merging


    his staff and weapon.


    "You may have missed out on the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire, but there are powers


    in this world beyond the Orders that can dominate. This technique, Armament Merge, is a secret skill of my family."


    "It allows you to merge your weapon and staff into your body, using them as a mana core. A mage who trains this way will have strength surpassing others of the same tier!"
