Chapter 346: Chapter 346 - King's Tournament [ Part 2 ]
It didn't take long before the announcer called people to take away the body of Joel like a piece of saddle and the guards forcefully kick out Musa who didn't want to accept his disqualification.
Nonetheless the large number of guards had other things to say to him, if he didn't.
After that the announcer said a few satisfactory words and entertained the people with a few more matches that were also not that satisfying for William and Delmar.
But Naomi and other normal people who were in the crowds didn't think like they did, so even if the matches weren't brutal enough, they were satisfied with it.
So as boredom came very close to making William stand up and leave the tournament, a new match came, one that quickly got his attention.
"That's it for this match. The winner is Alose." The announcer bellowed, "Give a quick round of applause to the archer."
His words came with the applause as Alose the victor smiled and before he could stay a few moments more and say something, the announcer kicked him out with polite words and started the next match.
"We have watched many matches by now and all of them were entertaining and surprising in their own way… but now… now this match is going to truly make all of you jump in your seats with how fascinating it's going to be." The announcer said.
William yawned, "After everything that happened by now… I am sure that the announcer was a spokesperson before this… otherwise no sane person would be able to tell so many lies so convincingly."
Delmar laughed as Naomi said, "What are you talking about? All of the matches were fun to watch."
"Oh it was… it was for most of you... but not so much for me." William said and before Naomi could say anything the announcer spoke.
"Now for the first contender of this match, its none other than Pan Huiling from the famed WaterBend Sect. The same sect that is responsible for apprehending most of the criminals from the south districts of the border."
As he thought, the announcer saw that everyone quickly became interested in his words, even the ones who didn't seem so enthusiastic as before.
The door to the before him opened up and the crowd waited… they waited and waited until the announcer also felt troubled as he couldn't seem to find Pan.
"Ahh… sorry folks, there might be some disturbances that is causing such proble-" The announcer stopped as he saw a glimpse of the person and changed his words, "But no more, as I can see Pan Huiling walking… slowly from the gates."
"AS I thought, it is a new way to install fear and mysteriousness in the hearts of all who are watching, truly an insightful person Pan Huiling." The announcer bullshited.
He might be saying such words but he didn't believe even one sentence of them. The only thoughts that were going through his minds were curses.
Pan Huiling walked from inside the dark hallway to the arena. It was a long and dark hallway but he didn't care for the audience nor anyone as he walked slowly and gracefully as he could.
He didn't come here to entertain a bunch of people who were already betting on whether he would lose or win, so he didn't give any attention to them nor said any words.
The only reason he came here was to win and have the fame he so deserved. He wanted to have the first place and meet with the royal family and talk about his sect to them and get the royal family to support his sect.
So no matter how much the announcer tried to make him talk or show some kind of emotion, Pan didn't say anything as he waited for his first opponent.
Seeing that Pan wouldn't say anything, the announcer spoke another round of curses in his mind and called out the next person.
"And to face the strong Pan, we also have another person that is by no way any less strong than him."
Pan Huiling remained static as he didn't believe that there was anyone is this whole tournament that had a chance with him, a Prodigy and for the sake of humility he stayed quiet.
The opposite door to the stage opened up and a tall person came running out of the gates as the announcer felt satisfied that this person wasn't as stuck up as Pan. He smiled and pointed to the man as he introduced.
"Give a round of applause to Hou Long of the Fire Fury sect."
William looked at the newcomer and saw a person in his late teens, the same as Pan. He was close to Pan in height and but looked more buffer than him. Pan wore white and silver robe that brought a sense of elegance in him and Hou wore a robe too but his were red and black with a few designs that showed fire and destruction.
Hou Long came and stood before Pan Huiling and looked at him menacingly as the announcer looked at them with some suspicion.
"It seems our fighters seems to know one another, so its not going to be a random fight but one that of friends." The announcer said gaining more cheers, "A fight that will show who is the stronger."
Pan Huiling showed no signs of emotion as Hou Long asked, "To think that I am about to fight none other than the prodigy of the WaterBend sect."
Pan finally opened his eyes and looked at Hou, "Do I know you?"
Hou laughed, "As I thought, the famed one doesn't recognize me… well it's not really that surprising, but I am sure you recognize my older brother Gonz."
"Gonz?"
"Yes, the same Gonz that fought for the higher place in the sect wars."
"Hmm…" Pan Huling gauged in to his memory, "Gonz… No, don't seem to recall anyone by that name."
"You sure," Hou raised an eyebrow, "He was tall and also famous for his fire gauntlet techniques."
Pan said without interest, "No, I don't know him. It has to be someone really special for me to know about them."
Hou was first concerned before becoming angry hearing him but laughed instead, "Good… good, it would feel much better to knock off that look in your face."
"You should first try to walk before flying."
"YOU!" Hou flew into a rage as he ran straight for Pan. Pan took a quick jump as he avoided Hou's fist.
"It seems they can't keep themselves from showing off their inner strength." The announcer said, "But it's much better this way for not only them but also for us too."
"So let the fight between water and fire… BEGAN." His words ended with some fireworks in the sky but Hou moved before that and struck towards Pan who kept on dodging his attacks until he took a long jump and stood quite a distance away from him.
"What happened… Scared to even fight back." Hou laughed.
"No…. Just trying to find the best way to end this squabble." Pan's words came as quick and empty as his look.
