Supreme Origin: Time King

And with the headmaster's voice announcing the official start of the tournament, everyone went silent.

"The first round will eliminate half of the contestants! They will be divided into six groups of four students, three groups will fight in the morning and the other three will fight in the afternoon. Now we will start splitting the groups."

A teacher took a list and started calling the names.

"First group! Ava Clark, Veigh Oktho, Leonard Donovan and Esmond Irzrok. Head to the first stage" Hearing their names being called, they quickly followed to the stage.

"Second group! Zaid Rainstar, Sophie Riverdust, Cole Stewart and Calvin Fox. Head to the second stage."

"Third group! Keaya, Sharp Faith, Evan Colon and Neleos. Head to the third stage."

And the battles have finally begun.

"Leonard Donovan vs. Ava Clark!" The first fight was neither exciting

because as soon as they stepped onto the stage, Leonard had conceded defeat just before the battle even started and Ava returned to her chair without changing expressions.

"Veigh Oktho vs Esmond Irzrok!"

Veigh was a thin youth and a cultivation at the peak of the Super Human Realm and Esmond had a burly body and was also at the peak of the Super Human Realm.

"Divine Ability: Cold Water Palm!" Just at the fight started, the thin youth immediately attacked with all his most powerful move and several hands made of water were shot all around, leaving a few scars on Esmond's left arm.

"Spatial Firebolt!" Esmond waved his hand and a small ball of fire he was holding on his hand disappeared and it appeared by Veigh's side who had a small Axe on his hand and slashed the firebolt in half as the crowd cheered.

The moment Esmond used his spell the expression of the teachers on the special seats near the headmaster had changed, even Emma was a bit surprised. This was because Esmond had merged spatial element on a fire element spell, but he still lose as his spell were extremely taxing and his energy was over before Veigh's.

Soon it was Zaid's time to battle, his opponent was against a ugly youth who was not even at the peak of the super human realm. Zaid didn't even move as his spiritual force was more than sufficient to send his opponent flying and he even had the time to flirt with one of the contestants on his group.

On Neleos's battle, he was the most unlucky, his opponent was in the spiritual master realm.

"Thousand Sword Changes: First change!" soon as the battle started, Neleos became extremely focused and used his sword art first move. This fist skill used strength and speed to overpower the opponent. Its attack was like a raging storm.

The power Neleos had demonstrated was well within the other students expectations. his power was in the divine beginning realm.

However, most of them were more focused on his opponent who they din't know much about as he was just in the top ten.

Evan was like lightning as he dodged the sword and appeared at the other end of the stage.

Seeing this, Neleos's eyes widened with surprise "Mystic Wind Spiritual Body!"

Mystic Wind Spiritual Body was a Spiritual Body focused on speed and it was very difficult to deal with. Looking at Evan, Neleos they could see a thin green sword on his right hand.

"it's over!" Even's eyes were sharp as his sword came crushing towards Neleos.

The power contained within his sword made many in the crowd shout out as the people from the small kingdoms could rarely see a fight on this level.

"they were really on the second realm?" The nobles who came from several kingdoms were shocked. A lot of them were in the second realm and they could never do what they were seeing here.

However, their true power was even more than expected!

"Not bad, Evan's sword art has reached the high level, it is obvious that he was training hard!" Even some of the older teachers nodded their heads.

'Shiiiiing!'

The two swords clashed together, a battle between red and green energies. Neleos's sword suddenly slashed down throwing Evans sword away.

"How is this possible?" Evan couldn't understand. He had thought that his sword art was on the same level as his opponent, but in reality, his sword could do nothing when clashing against his sword.

"What is going on!?" All the students were with their mouths wide open.

"This isn't possible! He had discovered the weakness on my sword art!" Evan could not accept this as his sword art was his only trump card to win this battle, while feeling angry he pounced towards Neleos and was pushed back once again.

One, two, three… every time Evan attacked, he was pushed back.

"As I thought, this boy trained his sword art near the perfect level" When the teachers were wondering about why the gap in power between the two of them was so great. The headmaster's voice sounded from the central chair in a place above the stage.

Hearing this, all teachers quickly nodded. The only way for them to have such different in the art of the sword was if one of them was near the perfect level of a high grade sword art.

Evan had also heard what the headmaster said and walked down the stage.

"There is no way I could win anyone close to the perfect level. I admit defeat."

"Neleos Wins! now everyone can take a break and in a few hours the other three groups will fight." The headmaster declared leave the stadium.

At this time, Elijah was lying on his bed and Aryanna was reading a book by the side while a strange air was being emitted from him and his hair quietly changed into half silver and half black.
