Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

"Uh..." Fade was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yanko would offer to join forces with him so directly. After all, he was risking offending the other 8 candidates. This might backfire on the two of them.

He was not sure if Yanko was truly being sincere, but he did not think too much into it. He planned to use this as an excuse to get the other opponents to attack him.

While Fade was considering the offer, the remaining eight candidates had already formed an alliance. "Those two are too arrogant. We need to team up and get rid of them first. Then, we'll fight amongst ourselves for the winners." "Okay, let's get them!"

In an instant, eight people surrounded them.

Yanko grinned and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Fade was left with no choice. Whether Yanko was trying to set him up or not, Fade had to deal with the opponents' attacks first.

"Boom, boom!"

On the arena, there was a series of explosions of positive energy. All sorts of Yuan Seals flickered. It was a very lively scene.

However, all of the attacks were kept inside the arena by the formations. There was not a single bit that could get out, so the audience watching was very safe.

Fade observed Yanko as he fought.

Yanko's Yuan Seal was a maroon stone containing fire essence. It was known as a Lava Rock. Being sturdy in nature, Yanko was using it to protect his body. No one managed to lay a single hit on him. In the end, they were all defeated by Yanko's Lava Rock. Seeing this, Fade wavered. He activated his Fiery Flame Yuan Seal to form a Crackling Blade.

Waving his fiery sword, Fade slashed down all around him, taking out all the opponents.

Eventually, only the two of them were left in the arena.

Yanko put away his Yuan Seal, walked up to Fade, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile, "Fade, we won. Nice teamwork."

"Yeah!" Fade nodded slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he reached out his right hand and shook hands with Yanko.

At this moment, the surrounding audience was discussing the battle that they had just witnessed,

Lukas smiled and asked Clayton and Blythe beside him, "What do you guys think of the two winners?"

Blythe said, "Your Highness, they are both quite powerful and meet our requirements. Specifically, Yanko seems like a good choice." Clayton had a different opinion. "I'm afraid I don't agree with Mr. Yoon's evaluation of Yanko. I think he's a very simple man, and he's not that good at adapting to the situation. He does not seem like an ideal choice to be your guard."

"Isn't that a good quality? He'll be excellent at following orders," Blythe commented.

"I mean, that is just how he seems on the surface. We don't really know how he truly is. What if..." Clayton retorted.

The two men were close to quarreling. Lukas quickly waved his hand and cut them off. "I was just asking for fun. There is no need to get so riled up. The next group is starting soon. Let's just focus on watching the battle."

As such, the two stopped arguing and continued to watch.

At this moment, Fade, who had stepped out of the ring, looked at Yanko, who was walking to him with a simple and honest smile. "Brother Chen, your Crackling Blade Yuan Seal matches my Lava Rock very well. If we are both chosen, we'll be a great pair for sure." "Uh..." Fade really didn't expect that Yanko would say this to him.

"Does he really mean that? Or is he trying to gain my trust?" Fade wondered.

Fade decided to respond vaguely and said, "Well, we'll see what happens I guess." At this moment, a very familiar person was standing in the arena. It was none other than Corey.

Being in Stage of the Fetus Refine

1.nex

Realm, Corey was definitely a level above the rest. He easily took out all the other opponents, and even injured the second winner. His battle instantly caught the attention of everyone present.

Even Lukas' eyes lit up and he commented, "Not bad."

Clayton and Blythe did not argue this time. They nodded their heads together and said, "Stage 1 Fetus Refine Realm and a Dazzling Sword Yuan Seal. He is clearly very familiar with his techniques. So far, he seems like the top candidate."

The selection trials continued, and candidates were slowly weeded out.

During the final round, the last two winners were chosen as a piece of red ice melted to the ground.

Fade's eyes were fully focused on the burning ice.

That ice cube was a unique Yuan Seal known as Flaming Ice. The person who owned it was a man named Kian Fang. Fade seemed to recall him briefly.

The first time Fade had failed to register, he guessed that all participants needed to have a fire essence Yuan Seal. He had even bought information from Myriad Treasures Hall to prove his point.

When he was flipping through the information, he found an abnormality. Kian's Yuan Seal was Flaming Ice. It seemed to be largely unrelated to fire essence. Despite that, he passed the registration. This left Fade a little puzzled.

It seemed that Kian's Yuan Seal was very special. It's properties were a combination of ice and fire. It possessed the cold of ice essence, yet it burned with the firepower of fire essence. It was a very rare sight indeed. Perhaps, this was the reason why Kian managed to successfully register.

At this moment, the audience, including Lukas, all had the same reaction as Fade.

They were surprised.

Lukas had just praised Corey. This time, he spoke again and praised Kian. "How intriguing. Not bad at all."

Just like that, the battle between all 2 groups was over. 24 candidates had been chosen to advance to the next round.

After a short break, Clayton

reorganized the rules and

regulations. He then reported to Lukas, "Your Royal Highness,

including the candidate that you net

handpicked, Yacalyn, there are a total of 25 candidates advancing to the next round."

"I plan to divide them into groups of five. They will fight until one winner remains. Then, the final five will become your guards."

"What do you think?"

Lukas did not answer right away. Instead, he looked at Yacalyn beside him. After which, he said to Clayton, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Yacalyn will become a guard immediately." "You can pick the remaining four from the other candidates."

"Oh, but..." Clayton was shocked.

He could understand why Lukas had let Yacalyn skip the first round. However, giving her a spot straight away seemed a little childish to him.

After all, no matter how beautiful she was, she was still only at Stage 8 of the Soul Refine Realm. She did not stand out at all.

"Your Highness, I really don't think..."

Lukas waved his hand and said to Clayton, "Enough, Mr. Clayton. I have already made up my mind."

After that, Lukas curled his finger to call Yacalyn over. He pulled her into his arms and started to get affectionate with her in front of everyone.

Everyone widened their eyes in shock. Of course, no one dared to say a word to the prince.

Clayton also had a helpless expression on his face. He could only reorganize his rules. "Twenty-four people. I will form 4 groups of 6 people. Each group will battle until one winner remains."
