DORIAN'S ANALYSIS

Looking at how people were looking at him, Loren was perplexed. He started to wonder why people were looking at him with such eyes? He started to wonder whether he said something he shouldn't have said.

He looked at his master. And sure enough. Even his master has the same eyes. Even his master looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Master.... did I say something.... wrong?" ,Uncertain of what did he say wrong, Loren asked Dorian.

"You still have the guts and shame to ask that question?" ,Dorian said in tone full of disappointment, "You don't know what kind of stupid logic you have said just now? You said that, that Arjun had mastered the Dao of Wood in just five years. Alright. Let's say that he took just five years to master the Dao of Wood. But do you know what exactly this energy is. It means that, Arjun's Dao Energy which he had released right now is at the Transformation Stage!"

"That..." ,Loren was not a Dao Master. So he didn't know what exactly his master wanted to say.

Dorian felt as if his head was about to explode from anger. But he maintained his composure and continued, "Think about it you idiot! Where did you put your brain just now? How could a person master not only the Dao of Wood in five years? But he also mastered the same Dao to the Transformation Stage in just five years? Do we look like some kind of idiots or something to you?"

Loren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But what his master said was absolutely right. If Arjun started to train the Dao of Wood after the preliminaries, even if he is the brightest genius of the world, there is no way he could master it to the Transformation Stage.

When this realization struck him, he suddenly understood how naïve and stupid his theory is. He shut his mouth and tried to bear with the humiliation he bought upon himself.

"Forget about him." ,At that time Miller said with serious expression, "If what he said is right, then this Arjun might already held the mastery in the Dao of Wood a long time ago. It's just that, he only used the Dao of Fire to fight against that Red Ranked Monster."

Dorian sighed and said, "Whatever the reason is, we all know that Bruce killed the Vulture King all by himself. And Arjun killed the Red Ranked Monster at the same time. Judging from the information, both Vulture King and the Red Ranked Monster possessed similar strength. And yet both of them slayed the monsters during the preliminaries."

Dorian became serious as he said, "We can't be sure who will emerge victorious among the two now."

"What the hell do you mean by that?" ,Miller became angry. He added, "Miller had the advantage in terms of Cultivation Base. We all know that Bruce's cultivation base is one realm higher than Arjun's. So on what basis did you say that the outcome of their fight will be unpredictable?"

"I have two points on the basis of which I came to this conclusion." ,Dorian replied calmly, "Firstly, That Arjun has mastery in two Dao. The Dao of Fire. And the Dao of Wood. This is all just based on the information we have so far. We don't know whether this Arjun will surprise us with the third Dao or not. If unwanted thing happens and he reveals the mastery in the third natural element, then we are screwed up. This will become a troublesome situation for us."

The crowd became speechless. But they were stunned as well. But when they gave it a serious thought, then they felt that whatever Dorian said might be true. If Arjun didn't release the Dao Energy of Wood, the they might be in the dark about Arjun's mastery in it.

And judging from their conversation, Arjun already revealed that he has the mastery in the Dao of Fire. That means, he already had mastery in two Dao Energy. And no one knows whether he had the mastery in the third element or not.

Dorian continued, "And the second point is the important one which is bothering me a lot. We have already seen the fight between Russell's shadows and our Bruce. We don't know what means Bruce used to defeat Russell's shadows as he promised that he would not reveal it to anyone under Conscience Oath. But we know that the battle between the two of them was pretty intense. Bruce fought very hardly in order to defeat those shadows."

Dorian looked at Miller and said with stern expression, "You have seen it for yourselves, Sect Master. In fact, everyone had seen how quickly and casually Arjun dealt with those shadows. Even Russell was clueless about exactly Arjun dealt with those shadows. We didn't see because the broadcast crystal failed to record and broadcast it to us. So we don't know anything about that strange power Arjun possessed."

Dorian asked, "How strong Arjun is in this power? And how much improvement Bruce made in that mysterious energy since his fight with Russell last time? And most importantly, what is the gap level between Arjun and Bruce in this mysterious energy today? What are the advantages and disadvantages our Bruce had today? We can't even guess it."

Miller felt as if his head was about to explode. It's not that, he didn't believe Dorian. It's because, whatever Dorian said was absolutely truth. Even though this truth was very harsh. Even though he don't want to believe what Dorian said. As a Sect Master, his experience told him that Dorian was right.

As a Sect Master and as a master who personally groomed Bruce, he knew just how important this competition for Bruce is. Or else, there is no way he would have come personally here to watch the competition.

If Bruce won all the test set by the Heavenly Raven Sect, then he will not only become the Core Disciple of the Heavenly Raven Sect. With him becoming the Core Disciple, as the Branch that produced such an outstanding disciple, the branch Sect will receive massive benefits as well.

This is the reason why the Raven Sect placed a very high importance in this competition. They all wanted to help Bruce in whatever way they can to make him into a champion. They were prepared to go to any extent to make him the champion of the competition. They would never hold back even the God descended to stop their actions.

But who would have thought that a person named Arjun would suddenly pop out of nowhere who proved to be a huge challenge for Bruce? This is truly a troublesome situation.
