Chapter 70: Chapter70-Ready for a Brawl?
?
On the arena platform, Owen''s heartbeat pounded like a war drum, and dense, viscous mana surged turbulently within him.
His body swelled slightly like a balloon, veins bulging all over.
Numerous black impurities and grime were expelled from his body under the impact of the raging mana, forming a foul-smelling black membrane on his skin.
The mana swirling around him burned like flames, quickly drying the black membrane, which then flaked off as black powder, revealing his refined, bronze-colored skin.
An unprecedented feeling of strength filled his entire body, making his eyes gleam and his breath sharp as arrows.
It felt as if a single thought could stir up a mana storm!
He felt like a sovereign ruler of the world.
It was only at this moment that Owen understood what "Supreme of All" truly meant!
The Godslayer Staff was indeed a divine artifact, the king of all staffs and weapons on the continent!
No weapon has the right to attack its king!
It will only be devoured!
By devouring others'' weapons, it can convert them into experience! Truly worthy of the Godslayer Staff!
Owen''s face lit up with joy. His recent gamble had paid off!
Although the Dragonslayer Dagger was a legendary weapon, it was insignificant in the presence of a divine artifact, especially the Godslayer Staff!
Feeling the vast mana elements within and around him, Owen couldn''t help but let out a triumphant howl and then smiled at John.
He had to admit, John was truly his lucky star!
Not only had he delivered the Armament Merge, but he also brought the legendary Dragonslayer Dagger, significantly boosting Owen''s power in a short time!
Legendary weapons are extremely rare and difficult to come by.
Even if one is fortunate enough to encounter one, without the right opportunities and strength, gaining recognition from such a weapon is nearly impossible.
As Owen smiled at John, John''s expression was as if he had eaten something foul.
Whether it was the Armament Merge or the Dragonslayer Dagger, these were John''s hard- earned trump cards.
Now, it felt like he had handed them over to his greatest rival. This realization drove him mad with rage.
He clutched his hair tightly, unable to believe it was real.
Even Ymir, within John''s necklace, showed a rare expression of shock.
From the moment Owen used Absolute Copy, she sensed things were going wrong.
Owen was too mysterious, and their understanding of him was too limited.
Now, all of John''s techniques and trump cards had not only failed but had also become Owen''s tools for victory.
"Give back the Dragonslayer Dagger!" John, growing more furious, glared at Owen.
It was well known that for most mages, even advancing a single level could take months or even years. Advancing seven levels in one go was unimaginable!
Yet this seemingly fantastical event had occurred right before their eyes!
"Comparing oneself to others can really be frustrating. In a simple battle, Owen has made
such a tremendous leap. Truly worthy of being called the continent''s greatest genius!"
"Such a figure has never been seen before, in any age. To fight him would surely bring improvement and insight!"
"Indeed, even in defeat, to face such a prodigy would immortalize one''s name in history. It''s
a life well lived!"
Quickly, many prodigies, despite their shock, felt a strong surge of fighting spirit.
"Owen, last time we didn''t have the chance to fight. Today, with everyone here, let''s have a
match!"
Andre, with his bold and forthright nature, felt a deep-seated desire to fight, spurred by Owen''s combat prowess and talent.
Even though he knew he wasn''t a match for Owen right now, Owen loomed like a towering mountain, overshadowing the brilliance of all other geniuses.
In his presence, others could scarcely be called prodigies. One person, dominating an entire
era!
To Andre, this was their misfortune.
Given the current circumstances, they might never surpass Owen, living forever in his shadow.
Yet, it was also their fortune!
A prodigy like Owen was destined to become a legendary figure.
To live in the same era, to witness his growth, and even to challenge him was a rare
opportunity.
As Andre stepped forward with immense enthusiasm, other prodigies couldn''t sit still.
They rose with determination, issuing their challenges to Owen.
After all, challenging other prodigies no longer held any significance. Only by defeating Owen
could they face a true challenge!
Following Andre''s bold move, many top geniuses on the Genius Leaderboard couldn''t help
but stand and speak up as well.
"Annie of Moonspring Kingdom challenges Owen!"
Seeing Annie, standing barefoot and surrounded by a mist, many were amazed.
This usually low-key and reserved saint was also stirred by Owen''s fighting spirit!
