Since Gerald was staring at her so intently, Yudell couldn’t help but blush slightly as she raised her longsword, pointing it at Gerald as she said, “Why are you looking at me like that? Also, why haven’t you answered my questions?” Snapping out of it, Gerald quickly replied, “…My name is Gerald Crawford, and I’m a participant representing the Juans Delivery House in the competition between cultivators! As for why I’m here, I couldn’t sleep so I came out here for a stroll. While walking about, I happened to notice the black figures from before bolting toward your room, so I simply followed them here!” While Yudell wasn’t completely convinced with his explanation, she put her sword away before saying, “…I see. Either way, you may leave now. Since none of this concerns you, you saw nothing tonight! Understand?” Hearing that, Gerald was left utterly speechless. ‘I just saved you, you know? Would it kill to show a bit of gratitude? Your temper’s as bad as Yalinda’s!’ Gerald thought

“Holy cr*p…! That attack was so terrifyingly awesome…!” exclaimed Yalinda, unable to help but wonder if she’d even stand a chance against Yudell if she ended up having to duel against her… “It truly is… Still, it has its flaws. It’s a pity that Watts wasn’t able to find a way to properly deal with it!” replied Gerald rather casually. Unlike other people, Gerald’s trained eye was immediately able to identify how to counter that attack. “…Huh? Have you already found a way to counter the attack, master?” replied Yalinda in disbelief. “Of course I have!” said Gerald in a confident tone. With how confident his reply was, Yalinda knew better than to doubt her master. Whatever the case was, now that Watts had been beaten, General Lucarl stepped forward before announcing, “And the winner for this round is… Yudell! The Thundering Cloud Sect’s representative!” Hearing that, Yudell then sheathed her sword… Since this was simply a competition, there was no need for her to overdo thin

Hearing that, Gerald simply chuckled in response. Still, he had a feeling that he was going to have to go easy on Yudell if they really did end up facing each other… After thinking about it for a bit longer, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Is there any actual advantage in winning the first prize?” “There are! For one, you’ll obtain the extremely honorable title of ‘national scholar’ in Shontell! The champion will also be given a chance to choose and obtain one of the precious treasures from our national treasury!” explained Yalinda rather excitedly. “Oh? Are there many treasures in the national treasury?” asked Gerald in a curious tone. “Of course!” exclaimed Yalinda, her eyes glinting with excitement as she nodded. “I see! Then I’ll definitely have to win first prize then!” replied Gerald, his interest now piqued. “Glad to hear that, master! While I may not have a very high chance of getting first place, you’ll surely have no problems with that, master! Once you’ve won, the J

Despite Levi’s counterattack, Yalinda was quite skilled with her whip. With that in mind, she immediately switched up her attacking style, constantly barraging Levi with ranged whip attacks that prevented him from coming too close. Upon seeing that, Gerald—who had been watching the fight from the moment it began—couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise. After all, he had never seen Yalinda use a whip before. Still, with how skillful she was with the weapon, Gerald had a feeling that Yalinda had spent ages training for the competition. While he had to admit that Yalinda was skilled with the whip, Gerald knew that she wasn’t Levi’s match. After all, he could tell that Levi was still going easy on her. If Levi truly decided to get serious, then Yalinda would surely have zero chance of winning… It wasn’t as if he was trying to look down on his disciple, but this was simply the reality of the situation… Regardless, it wasn’t long after before Levi began displaying his true capab

“…It looks like Gerald has gotten acquainted with Yalinda and Levi, young master!” muttered one of the men to the youth donning luxurious clothes standing beside him. The youth himself was none other than Clyde! He had felt extremely humiliated ever since Gerald took him down in a single strike, and his resentment toward Gerald knew no bounds! After all, he hadn’t been humiliated before in his life, so he was going to teach Gerald a lesson if it was the last thing he did! “As if I care! Gather the four great envoys! I want Gerald dead by the end of this! That way, he’ll no longer be able to continue participating in the following competitions!” scoffed Clyde, grinning sinisterly as he looked at the man standing beside him. “Understood, young master!” replied the man with a nod before swiftly leaving the scene… Naturally, Gerald and Yalinda had no idea what dangers they would soon come to face… Regardless, the three of them soon arrived at a restaurant and sat at a table.
