Chapter 550 It’s a Sweep
Every eye stayed locked on the screens.

Somewhere across Orroux, Zac stared at the footage with a dazed expression on his face. That guy I knew just had his Awakening not too long ago?
What is he, a monster?
The transports skimmed along the edge of the hunting ground, dropping competitors one by
one.
The tournament had finally begun in earnest.
Steven got dropped without ceremony, same as everyone else.
The moment his feet hit the ground, he took a quick survey of his surroundings.
This stretch of Orroux’s hunting ground sprawled out impossibly wide.
Four hours total, and there was no guarantee everyone would even cross paths with each other.
Steven drew in a slow breath. No doubt every inch of this place sat under the watch of countless biomimetic surveillance drones.
No point overthinking it. Time to get to work. He had a first place finish to secure for Rowenville.
A sharp gleam flared in his eyes.
Gold light flickered in the depths of his pupils as his vision began to pierce straight through the terrain.
His Eye of Insight had reached a terrifying level of range by now, stretching out for dozens of miles.
As long as no mountain range blocked the way, he could see clear across open ground without obstruction.
His gaze locked onto targets.
The strongest of them topped out at level four beasts. Those he’d take down without hesitation.
To him, every one of them amounted to nothing more than resources waiting to be harvested.
Time to begin.

The corner of Steven’s mouth curved upward.
He planted one foot and shot forward like a loosed arrow.
Every beast in this hunting ground might as well have had nowhere left to hide from him.
The total count only ran so high. First to the kill claimed the points.
Level one beasts earned a single point. Level 2 beasts, ten points. Level 3, one hundred. Level 4, a full thousand.
Among the thousand plus competitors scattered across the grounds, only a small handful could even hope to take down a level 4 beast, Bianca and Fiona included. The rest didn’t come close.
And under normal circumstances, most competitors avoided level 4 beasts entirely. The risk simply wasn’t worth it.
Level 3 beasts offered the best return for the effort involved.
But for Steven, none of that mattered. They were all the same to him.
Back at the viewing platform, on the scoreboard…
Most competitors still sat frozen at zero. A small handful had crawled up to a few points, maybe ten, and even that climbed painfully slow.
But the number next to Steven’s name kept shifting, faster and faster.
+1
+10
+1
+100
+10
Everyone in the stands sat frozen in disbelief. His numbers hadn’t stopped climbing once.
Orroux Academy’s students watching looked stunned beyond words.
Nothing like this had ever happened in the entire history of the Awakened Tournament.

And the event had barely even started.
Nobody’s score climbed this fast. It shouldn’t be possible.
“Is something wrong with the scoreboard?”

That question ran through half the crowd. Most people would rather believe it was a technical glitch than accept what they were watching.
Before long, the feed cut directly to Steven on the massive projection screen.
The instant the crowd saw what was unfolding up there.
The entire stadium erupted into chaos, jaws dropping, eyes glazing over in disbelief.
“This… this kid’s cheating, right? There’s no way.”
On screen…
Steven tore through the jungle faster than any cheetah could dream of matching.
He’d become nothing more than a black blur, his face only flickering into view for the briefest instant whenever he struck a beast down.
And every single beast unlucky enough to cross his path exploded into a mist of blood with a single punch.
He’d snatch up the beast crystal in one motion, then vanish toward the next target without a shred of hesitation, another punch already landing before anyone could process the first.
For the level one and level two beasts, it barely qualified as effort.
He simply reached out and plucked the crystal straight from their bodies. Some of them never even registered the threat before Steven had already claimed the kill.
Even against level 3 beasts, Steven finished the job in a single punch.
Clean. No wasted motion, no hesitation.
The entire hunting spree left everyone watching in a daze.
Since when did beasts become this easy to kill?
And at the same time, it lit a fire in every chest watching. That kind of strength made hunting beasts look easier than slicing through butter.

The kind of power everyone in that stadium secretly dreamed of possessing.
And right now, it was playing out in front of every single one of them.
Back on the Rowenville side, Frank and the others watched Steven’s score climbing and leapt straight out of their seats in excitement.
At this rate, first place is basically locked in!
Steven’s score kept climbing, without a single pause.
Comparing anyone else to him at this point…
No, comparison wasn’t even the right word anymore. There was nothing left to compare.
In just a little over ten minutes, Steven’s score had already blown past five hundred.
That number alone already outpaced some of the greatest prodigies from tournaments past.
And his score was still climbing, faster than anyone could hope to catch up to now.
The current runner up, an Orroux student, had managed to kill one level 3 beast, earning a full hundred points.
There was still an enormous gap behind Steven.
The crowd in the stands sat in stunned silence for a long, long moment.
What’s even the point of competing now?
Now everyone understood exactly why that one student had questioned Steven’s eligibility at the very start.
This wasn’t a competition anymore. This was an entirely different tier of existence looking down on everyone else.
There was nothing left to play for.
“Hey, has anyone else noticed? Every single beast along Steven’s path gets taken down, not one missed. It’s like he already knows exactly where every single one of them is hiding.”
