Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1916

Having gone too far earlier, Nortrom found himself in an embarrassing predicament. With his knees shaking violently, he did not even have the energy to walk off the stage. Feeling the eyes of all of Erudia's finest on him from the bottom of the stage, he felt quite ready to give up. “Who allows you to act this brazenly on Erudian soil?” “How dare you claim that Erudia has no more champions to offer?” Several hundred angry Erudian voices erupted. Their dominance was sufficient to overwhelm Nortrom. Unable to withstand the pressure, his knees buckled and he fell over. The other competitors were pale with fright. None of them dared utter a word. The martial artists of Erudia are too powerful. To the horror of the other competitors, they noticed that the recovered Erudians have gotten even stronger. Not only have their martial veins healed completely, but their powers had also grown and some in leaps and bounds. Even the top three on the Stone List had pretty much tripled in power. What was it that they have experienced to have such astonishing growth? All of the other nations soon discovered that as well. It's going to be disastrous for us. What the he*l happened? All of the foreign competitors, the Erudians, and even the Cardinal Hall looked to Levi for answers as he was the one to have brought them over. He must have healed all of their martial veins. The top three must have been found by him and nursed back to health. The increase in power must have been under his guidance. One by one, their burning questions were answered by Levi's unflinching gaze, having recalled that Levi was known as the man who could always be trusted. “Enough dillydallying,” Levi declared. “Since everybody is here, let the competition begins!” He gazed over at the young talents. “Don't embarrass me!” “Rest assured, Master. We won't let you down!” The hundreds of Erudian martial artists bowed as one. Every one of them had a look of reverence. The crowd gasped again. Before, they were in awe of the martial artists. At the sight of the deep respect the martial artists held for Levi, the crowd in turn directed their admiration toward him. The representatives of the Cardinal Hall were flabbergasted. They did not expect Levi to be the one to rescue Erudia. Though they had viewed him as a demon, they did not expect Erudia's final hope to be delivered by him. The Cardinal Hall and the self-righteous individuals lowered their heads, not daring to meet Levi's gaze as they felt rather foolish. Bruce and his men who were paying attention to the proceedings of the Elites Conference were mad with rage at Levi's appearance, as their plan was once again foiled by Levi. It was the perfect plan to plunge Erudia into despair. Thanks to Levi, that won't be happening. Burn in he*l, Levi! Aside from Bruce, the chieftains of Raysonia who had planned everything were gritting their teeth with rage as well. The competitors of the neighboring nations were ashen-faced as they made their preparations to begin competing. After the competitors drew their lots, the competition officially began. It turned out to be a good show, after all. The furious battles rendered the crowd breathless with awe. However, the result of the tournament was clear from the start. Once again, the martial artists of Erudia crushed the other competitors. Seven out of the top ten and sixty-eight out of the top hundred were Erudians. With such a dominant show of force, the skills of the foreign competitors were rendered weak or non-existent. They were not even on the same level as the Erudians. Upon the conclusion of the Elites Conference, Erudia was once again declared the winner. According to the rules, the martial artists of the other nations were forced to conform to Erudia. At that moment, the Erudians in the crowd were cheering madly as their dignity was salvaged at the last minute. Due to Levi's prior moniker as Fiery Demon's heir, the Cardinal Hall temporarily held the news of Erudia's victory and deliberately left out Levi's name from the achievement report. “You owe Master Garrison an apology!” the young talents shouted in dismay.
