Chapter 597
Clay spoke in a voice filled with authoritative dominance, drawing much admiration from the crowd.
“Good showing! He truly is worthy of being the future head of the Dominion Vanguard! The organization’s future shines brightly!”
“He’s already a transcendent realm expert at such a young age. Who among his peers could challenge him? Ashton made the right decision to flee rather than take this fight. Otherwise, he would’ve been trampled underfoot by Clay and turned into a dead man!”
“Clay’s so handsome! I’m in love with him.”
“Just like the Dominion Vanguard, Clay’s prestige is on the rise. He basks in untouchable glory! Meanwhile, Ashton’s just like the worn–out Legion as well, struggling to survive and unable to withstand a single blow.”
“I’m going to up my bet! I challenge someone to give me a reason why Clay would lose this fight. He’s the strongest among his peers!”
The unending praise that filled Clay’s ears boosted his ego, making him even more smug. This felt so good. It was everything he had dreamed of countless times now.
“Get out here, Ashton!”
Clay’s clothes fluttered in the breeze, adding to his swagger.
There were now only 30 seconds left. Once time was up, if Ashton was still a no–show, it’d be considered a show of cowardice and voluntary surrender.
Clay would be declared the victor, and the Legion would have to fulfill the terms of the agreement. They would have to hand over the northern frontier and their commission!
From then onward, the Legion would be nothing more than a tiny footnote in history!
“There are only 20 seconds left! It’s the last chance to place your bets! Do it!”
“The odds are peaking!”
“Huh? Why are there still people betting on Ashton winning? Are they insane? Have they lost their minds?”
“Hah! Those reckless gamblers will soon lose everything they have!”
“Last ten seconds! It will all soon be over!”
Up on the stage, Clay held his head high, silently counting down the seconds. He was ready to claim his crowning glory, to show the world why he was the future head of the Dominion Vanguard.
He would avenge himself for the past humiliation, and his cultivation resolve would be healed. His future would be limitless!
Everyone’s breath sharpened, their hearts jumping to their throats.
“Ten… Nine…”
It was the final countdown.
“Show yourself, Ashton! Come out and fight!” Clay’s roar shook the air, as if venting all of the anger that had built up within him during this time.
“A defeated loser should stop talking to me about valor. If you wish to face another defeat, I’ll grant your wish.”
It was down to the last three seconds when Ashton’s calm voice cut through the clamor, ringing in everyone’s ears. The crowd stiffened, their eyes widening with shock and disbelief.
