THE DEPRESSED PEOPLE

Province Lord Xavier didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Till now, the competition was looking fine. But as soon as Arjun took some serious action, it became nothing but a complete joke.

Arjun not only defeated Bruce, it could be said that he actually crushed him. Bruce did not stand a chance right from the very beginning against Arjun.

Greater Dao!

No matter in which angle one could see it, the only thing that made Arjuna powerful against Bruce was the Greater Dao! Even a fool could tell this. And it was actually an ancient lost Dao technique which was said to be even more difficult to master than the Grand Dao! Only around fifty people in a generation could have the mastery over the Greater Dao!

Such high difficulty! Who could have ever believed it? But there is no need for Arjun to lie. In fact, if it was any other person in his place, then that person wouldn't have revealed anything about the Greater Dao to the public.

Because the difference between the Greater Dao and the Grand Dao was visible to the naked eye. The Grand Dao was like an Ant in front of the Greater Dao which was like an Elephant!

Sigh!

Province Lord Xavier was depressed. He thought that the difficulty of this competition was very high. After all, all the champions of the preliminaries would be facing an immense danger in this competition from other teams.

With this, he thought that it will become very difficult for these champions from the preliminaries to even think of becoming the champions here once again and going to the Royal capital of the Wing Empire to participate there. After all, only one team could go to the royal capital to participate in the competition from each province.

But Arjun alone showed such a difference between his strength and others. Province Lord even believed that if Arjun gone on a rampage, then there probably no one in the forest who could defeat him or even try to stop him. Arjun's strength was completely monstrous.

All this time, he was very determined to form a friendship with Jimmy. After all, Jimmy was someone set as a primary target of protection by emperor. The Emperor even asked about Jimmy's daily live status and activities. He strictly passed down the orders for daily reports without any failure on Jimmy and his activities. Most importantly, Emperor asked everyone to protect Jimmy at all cost if any disaster befell him.

Province Lord Xavier didn't know why. But judging from the way the Emperor was behaving, he could sense that this particular Jimmy is some kind of a big shot. Or he might be the disciple or descendant of a big shot.

And this is the reason why he asked Theresa and others to be on Jimmy's good terms. He never wanted any kind of disturbances. He even didn't bother about winning the championship of the competition.

If one looked at it the distant future, then Jimmy might give him an unexpected pleasant surprise once his identity was revealed. And once he formed friendship with someone like Jimmy, then things will be very easy for him. His clan might become another big shot in the entire country.

He was so occupied with Jimmy to the point where he neglected Arjun. The main point is, Arjun is actually Jimmy's teammate. The kind of strength he displayed, he was simply a monster. Even he himself doubted whether he could stand a chance against Arjun with his Greater Dao.

Anyways, Xavier took a voice transmission Crystal and said, "Arjun of the Star Moon Team had defeated all the participants in the forest. But you people still have one week of time. And if you want, you people could try to win the passes from Arjun's possession. Do you people want to continue this competition? Or you people will give up and come back early?"

Of course, Xavier asked this question to all the other participants within the forest. And as soon as this question was raised, the people looked at each other for a moment. No one wanted to speak anything.

After a while, Xavier said, "I will take this silence as if you people have no objection with Arjun's request. In that case, I am opening the portal for you to come back. But before that, I would like to confirm it once again. Are there any team within the forest who want this competition to continue?"

But no one spoke. After a while, Xavier said, "If that is the case, then I will open the portal. You people can come back."

A portal was opened immediately and all the contestants came back with depressed faces. Bruce was absolutely fine despite his grave injuries thanks to the timely aid from Arjun. Or else, he would have been a cripple for his life. And there is no way he could have taken revenge for his clan.

This competition became a huge trauma for most of the teams. This competition was an eye opener for majority of the people. All this time they felt as if they were the true geniuses in the world of cultivation. Their future will be limitless. They will become one of the strongest people in the world when they grow up.

But that fight between the freaks like Arjun and Bruce made them realise the harsh reality that they were actually the frogs in the well. The fight gave them immense goosebumps. In fact, the shockwaves produced from the fight between these two freaks even killed some of their teammates despite standing very far away from the battlefield.

And what is even more insane is that Arjun had the cultivation base which is almost similar to their own. And yet, Arjun was completely fine. While at the same time, their situation became worse.

The elders of all the teams who were destroyed within the forest were dejected. Their clan's children were actually killed within the forest and yet they could not do anything to take the revenge. And they don't know how to face their clan leaders. Some of the dead members were actually the descendants of the Clan Leaders! This is the reason why they were completely depressed.

As for the elders of the teams who were still alive, they were not feeling anything good as well. Even though their clan members came back alive, this competition was completely an eye opener even for these elders. And most importantly, the fight between Arjun and Bruce made them realise the harsh reality of the cultivation world. So despite their children coming back alive, they were also depressed.

At the same time, the members of the Raven Sect went to their camp. All the people stood there silently. No one dared to speak anything including Bruce. Because The Sect Master was standing there silently looking at them. He was particularly looking at Bruce.
