Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

"Yes!" Evelyn cheered as Arthur's victory was announced.

It was not just her as a lot of the disciples present cheered for Arthur.

Arthur smiled at that as he saw that his reputation and status in the hearts of the outer court disciples has been raised a lot.

Now it would be easier to raise a faction of talented cultivators unlike before when his invitation was dismissed because no one believed in his strength.contemporary romance

'Strength.'

'When I was on earth they said that money makes the world go round. But in this world, it can be said that strength is what makes the world go round instead.'

Arthur recognized this important fact and set his eyes on the goal of becoming the strongest.

'Honestly, with the advantages I have I would be a big failure if I don't achieve that,' Arthur thought.

He had four of the Gems of the Multiverse and one of the most powerful treasures in the world.

'I have been unable to connect with the gems ever since my reincarnation. It seems I will have to reach a higher level of cultivation if I want to harness their power again.'

The gems were his greatest treasure and reliance in his feud with the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore he has to master the use of their powers as soon as he can.

While Arthur was thinking of these things, all other battles has been concluded and it was time for the ninth and final round.

"Round Nine!"

"Mark Vs Invincible!"

Arthur raised his head and skillfully ascended the biggest stage in the arena.

At the same time that he arrived, Mark did also and they stood opposite each other.

The elder called out the other matches and their assigned stage with the stage where Arthur defeated Julie left out due to the destruction.

Once the elder finished calling the names, it was time for the battle to stage.

"Round nine, start!"

Surprisingly, nobody attacked immediately and observed their opponent instead.

This was the final round and no one wanted to lose.

Well, almost no one...

"I admit defeat!" Gakner's voice echoed in the vast arena stunning many disciples.

"What is wrong with this coward!"

"It is a shame for such a person to be part of the top ten!"

"With such a martial spirit and he still has no balls to fight!"

Many disciples mocked Gakner for always being the first to admit defeat.

At this point, he was guaranteed to be ranked tenth, even though he could have ranked higher.

The elder announced the victory of the Gakner's opponent who was smiling sheepishly as he got an easy win and left the arena with a smug look.

'The others can't win so easily right?' He stepped aside and joined the spectators to watch the final battles.

Two stages drew the attention of the crowd and one of them was Arthur's battle with Mark.

As for the other stage, it was the match between Aselia and Julie who finally met each other on the battle rankings.

A battle between two beauties was a very attractive sight to behold for many male disciples. Especially those who were literally their fanboys.

"Show her who's stronger my Queen, Julie!"

"Break her music apart Goddess Aselia!"

Luke, Sun Wukong, Balor, and the others were a bit exasperated at such reactions from esteemed cultivators who were supposed to have a calm mentality.

But here they were acting like mortals who had not stepped on the path of martial arts, walking towards the much-desired immortality.

"Invincible! I believe in you!" Evelyn screamed in excitement with the utmost confidence in Arthur.

The boys looked at her and thought, 'Even you too?'

But to their surprise, Evelyn was not the only girl cheering for Arthur. There were many other female disciples who were too.

"Big brother you can do it!"

"With one punch just like always, show them your might, Big brother!"

"Big brother this little sister will give you a present if you win!"

Arthur heard those voices and felt that he might have to sneak out of the arena after the battle to avoid getting 'ravaged'.

Mark also had fangirls too, but they were less than Arthur due to his personality.

But when Arthur also heard what Mark's female supporters said, he could only say two words in his heart.

'Toxic Fangirls!'

"Our cold God Mark can defeat even space-time! Who the hell is this invincible?!"

"Lord Mark is the true invincible one here. Destroy that faker with just a glare!"

Arthur finally decided to tune out the voices and focus on Mark who looked unperturbed.

Mark had short black hair and deep black eyes. There were barely noticeable eye bags on his face that hinted at a lack of proper rest.

He wore bracers on both hands and similarly on his legs too.

Arthur noticed that they added extra weight to his body but you will not be able to tell due to how light Mark's footsteps were.

"We should start our battle and end it quickly. I have an appointment and I am running late," Mark spoke at this time.

Arthur noticed that he spoke with some urgency in his tone and thought that this appointment must be very important, so he nodded to show his understanding.

"I also want to apologize," Mark said something that confused Arthur.

"You want to apologize for what?" Arthur asked.

"Due certain unfortunate circumstances..." Mark removed the braces on his hand and stored them away.

"...I will have to go all out," Mark removed the bracers on his legs too, and stored them in his spacial ring.

Arthur furrowed his brows in thought as he guessed that Mark was probably hired by the Blood Sword Faction to deal with him.

He thought of what was able to buy off this disciple in from of him that is known for his integrity.

'But in this kind of world, things like honor and integrity aren't worth much.'

'It doesn't matter what his reasons were, I will still crush him just like the others.'

"Is that all you have to say?" Arthur responded.

"Yes."

"Then bring it on!"
