nThe 1000 students appeared on top of the devastation stage, but they couldn't move or use spells.

n Eliminate Other participants by pushing them into the pits or attacking them to reduce their HP to 200.

n You all can freely use all of your power, and no need to worry about accidentally killing someone.

n Ready

n Start

nAthan started to use his defensive spell just as the Start sounded.

nThe section of his stage had four people, and they also used their defensive spells first before starting to strike others.

n' They are quite weak. ' The energies he sensed from their defensive spells were only boosted by Advanced Level Intent.

nHe then hurriedly used Pentagon Demon's grasp spell as a Two giant hand materialized on top of him.

n' Shit, it Looks like our spells are suppressed here. ' Athan guessed that the suppressive effect was probably due to the dark clouds that were hovering everywhere above them.

nThe hands were big; Each finger was 5 meters long and 2 meters thick with a giant palm that was around 6 squared meters but normally, they were bigger.

nThis spell's consumption was high, but Athan didn't need to worry about it due to his Crystals.

nThe two giant hands were covered with Earth energy and had fire veins visible on the palm; their structure inside was complicated as Water, Wood, and Air had their own roles to play.

nSeeing the Two giant hands, The other three students around Athan made him his target. Still, Athan was fearless as he powerfully slapped both of the hands onto the stage. From the giant hands' fingers, Vines of wood energy that were strengthened by water energy released towards the other three participants.

nThe vines didn't damage them due to their defensive spells, but There was no need to in the first place.

nAfter the giant vines snared the three of them, Athan controlled the giant hands as they appeared on top of them, and from the middle of the palm, Fierce Flames released that were augmented by Air energy to make it even more powerful.

nThe three participant's defense fell apart as they were consumed by the flames and were teleported to the Spaceship.

nAthan looked around and jumped across the pit at his left side using combusting burst steps and landed on the section where the four participants were still tangled with each other.

n

" Allow me to help you.

"

nHearing Athan's voice, The four students felt chill on their back, but it was too late.

nThe two giant hands rapidly charged towards them as all the energies inside giant hands turned volatile before they exploded.

n*BOOOM....*

nThe powerful explosion of five energies pushed the three of them into the pit as they were eliminated and disappeared.

n

" Huuu...It looks like my luck is good. They were probably one of the weakest bunch here.

"

nTaking a deep breath, Athan just stood there and watched others fighting.

nHe took out his chakrams and held them in his hands.

nThe dragon scaled armor was covered with patterns of blood armor, but the shape of armor remained. His Dragon helmet with two horns and the curved spiked shoulder plates were covered with bloody design as they looked menacing.

nTwo chakrams in his hands were coated with hydro blitz as they shined with blue and gold, and several darklings were flying around him, ready to attack anyone in sight.

nThe current Athan looked badass.

nSuddenly, He looked at his left side and saw someone arriving on his section of the stage.

nAthan commands the darklings to attack, but the person swatted them away.

nFor the first time in this tournament, Athan felt threatened.

n' This person has mastered several Master Intents or has already formed a concept. '

n

" Wait, wait, brother, I am not here to attack you.

"

nAthan didn't stop entirely stop and was ready to attack anytime, But he still asked,

" What do you mean?

"

nThe person in front of him wore an energy coat that excluded several energies. His looks were not bad, and he had spiky golden hair ( Like Goku ) and had a slim but muscled build. From his appearance, he looked in his mid-twenties.

nHe smiled towards Athan and said,

" My name is Yahan. You look rather powerful, so why don't we work together and attack anyone that comes here?

"

nHearing this, Athan was slightly surprised, but he also smiled, which was not seen by the other person due to his helmet,

" Sure, But I have a slight problem. My hands might occasionally slip, so be careful not to hit by my spells.

"

nYahan was speechless for a moment before he started laughing and said,

" Haha, It's ok. But then you should also be careful as I have the same problem.

"

nFrom then on, Athan and Yahan watched others fighting while being on guard against each other.

n 438 Participants left.

nAfter an hour...

n 217 Participants Left.

nAfter half an hour...

n 201 Participants Left.

nRight now, There was silence on The Devastation Stage as nobody was fighting.

nAthan spotted Avelia at a section but didn't go over because he sensed someone coming in his direction.

nA middle-aged man approached the section where Athan and Yahan were staying and spoke with a grim expression,

" You two are the only ones who are staying in one section. Fight each other so that we can finish this round.

"

nHearing this, Athan and Yahan looked at each other and started laughing.

nThe middle-aged man frowned and was going to say something, but his face turned pale the next second as he regretted coming here.

n

" 4-Layer Impact Point.

"

n

" Hell Blaze

"

nTwo powerful attacks shot towards the middle-aged man as his defensive spells were broken, and his HP hit 200 instantly.

n Congratulations to the 200 students for passing the Quarter-Finals.

nAfterward, The 200 students were transported to the spaceship.

nAvelia came running towards Athan with a smile and said with fatigue,

" Phew, This round was kinda hard. I might not get past the semi-final round.

"

nAthan had removed his helmet, so his face was visible.

nHe also smiled and said,

" Who knows? You might still have a few more trump cards.

"

nA wry expression appeared on her face as she shook her head and said in a low voice,

" Nope, I can't use some trump cards in public.

"

nYahan also approached Athan and said with a grin,

" Wow, You also have such a beautiful girlfriend? I'm envious.

"

nAvelia blushed hearing that and thought, ' Too bad I'm not. '

nJust then, Everyone saw a hologram of the same person who appeared when telling details about the Quarter-Final round.

nA faint smile was plastered on his face as he said,

" First, Congratulations on passing the Quarter-Final round.

"

n

" The semi-Final round will be a bit different. It will be held in Virtual World, and there will be no fights, but instead, Everyone has to comprehend a Mystic Intent.

"

n

" Everyone will receive an Intent Inscribed Tablet of the same Intent and don't worry as there hasn't been a single thing related to this intent out in the market yet because This is a brand new Intent as it was comprehended recently for the first time by an Ancestor.

"

nEveryone was shocked to hear that as they started to murmur.

n

" Oh, a new intent? I wonder which one will it be.

"

n

" New intent means new concepts. I think many seniors will try out new combinations with his intent.

"

n...

nThe man on the hologram didn't speak as he let the students discuss for a minute before speaking,

" Alright, Lay down inside the Virtual Tube and prepare for the Semi-Final round. You all have 5 days to comprehend this intent, and the top 50 students who have the highest understanding of this intent will pass the Semi-Final round and head to the final round, which will be held at The Legendary Sector.

"

n*Uproar!!*

nEveryone was excited to hear that the final round will be held at the Legendary Sector and started talking about it with hype.

n

" Quiet!! Don't waste time and enter the virtual tube.

"

nEveryone stopped as they entered the virtual tube that appeared beside them from underneath the floor.

n...

nAfter entering the Virtual tube, Every student appeared in a small hut with a refreshing smell.

nAthan came out from the hut as a fresh breeze blew across his face. The environment around him was also beautiful, as near the hut was a lake and greenery.

nHe sighed, seeing all these, and said,

" Doesn't seem like a virtual world at all.

"

n The Intent Inscribed tablet is sent on top of the table inside the hut, Please start comprehending the intent.

n 4 days, 23:59 Min until the end of the round.

nAthan entered the hut and sat down before taking a look at the tablet.

nThe name of the intent was displayed on top of the tablet.

n

" Ehh....

"
