Awakening of the Mind Sovereign-Chapter 22: A duel between Kyber and Elliot!

Then he raised his head and looked directly at the Sect Master: "I'm at the fourth layer, yet I couldn't see a child at the initial seventh layer move! How is that possible?"

Silence reigned for a few seconds... then a quiet chuckle escaped the Sect Master, its tone carrying a mix of interest and amusement.

"Hahaha..."

Kali looked at him in astonishment, unable to understand his reaction.

The Sect Master smiled and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that boy... is hiding some intriguing secrets."

The Sect Master remained smiling as he stared at Kali, then spoke in a calm yet weighty voice:

"Since Elliot is Kyber's friend, that means Kyber is also hiding something... just like him."

Kali shivered slightly at the thought, but he couldn't deny that there was something unnatural about those two... It made no sense for them to be this strong while still at the initial stages!

The Sect Master rose from his massive stone throne, then looked at Kali with deep eyes before saying with a mysterious smile:

"Then, the final duel... the third phase of the test..."

He paused for a moment, increasing the tension in the air, then continued in a more powerful voice:

"A duel between Kyber and Elliot!"

Kali's eyes widened in shock, but before he could say anything, the Sect Master's deep laughter echoed throughout the hall:

"Hahaha! Let's see how far these two little monsters can go!"

───✦•••✧•••✦───

Meanwhile, Elliot was still in the training grounds, arms crossed as he pondered what had just happened. He knew that winning the second phase so easily would make everyone suspicious... but he hadn't expected the matter to reach the Sect Master himself!

"Did they discover me?"

He knew his system gave him an unfair advantage, but he was always careful in using it... so how did they sense something unusual?

Suddenly, Kyber approached him quietly, standing beside him without saying a word.

"Kyber..." Elliot said in a low voice, without looking at him.

Kyber smiled slightly before replying, "It looks like we'll be fighting each other."

Elliot turned to him, eyes filled with surprise, but Kyber simply smiled calmly and continued in a confident voice:

"Don't disappoint me."

Half an hour had passed since Kali left, and during these few minutes, Elliot and Kyber stood in silence, thinking about the possibilities awaiting them. Neither of them had expected things to escalate so quickly.

Suddenly, Kali appeared in the distance, walking steadily with serious eyes. When he stopped in front of them, he spoke in a clear and firm voice:

"Your match has been scheduled..."

He paused for a moment before adding with a faint smile:

"It will be tomorrow, in the sect's main arena and platform!"

Elliot and Kyber's eyes widened in surprise, but Kali wasn't finished yet. He added with a voice tinged with excitement:

"Not only that... but all the sect elders, the inner disciples, and even the Sect Master himself will be watching this duel!"

Elliot felt a shiver run down his spine... This meant that everyone would be watching him, and he wouldn't be able to use the system without arousing suspicion. On the other hand, Kyber showed no expression on his face, but inside, he was thinking deeply...

"A battle in front of everyone? This will make things more complicated..."

After the announcement of the much-anticipated duel between Kyber and Elliot, the news spread throughout the sect like wildfire. This event became the talk of everyone, from the inner disciples to the high-ranking elders and even the Sect Master himself!

In the training grounds, dozens of disciples gathered, excitedly discussing the upcoming fight.

"Did you hear? Elliot is going to face that monster, Kyber!"

"I can't believe someone at the initial seventh layer managed to pass the second test like that... He must have a mysterious secret!"

"But Kyber... He defeated Draven, who was at the third level of the Spiritual Realm! He's not to be underestimated!"

Bets began to spread among the disciples, some wagering on Kyber due to his terrifying strength, while others believed Elliot was hiding something even more frightening than what he had shown so far.

In the Grand Elders' Hall, many elders were discussing the duel.

Elder "Jing," one of the sect's strongest elders, sat comfortably on his luxurious chair and said with a mocking smile:

"Kyber, that boy... His physical strength is terrifying, but Elliot? His actions are unnatural, as if they're abilities from another world!"

Elder "Ling," an expert in speed techniques, placed a hand on her chin and said with curiosity:

"Elliot disappeared in an instant, which is illogical, even for fighters at the fourth layer of the Spiritual Realm! He must have a unique skill... or perhaps more than that!"

Meanwhile, Elder "Rin," known for his ability to read auras, spoke in a calm voice:

"The energy Kyber emits... isn't natural either. I feel like he's hiding something, but he controls it well!"

Inside the grand palace, the Sect Master sat on his throne, reviewing the reports Kali had sent about the second test. Then he laughed, saying:

"Disappearance... absolute dominance... They are truly interesting."

Then he lifted his head and said to his personal attendant:

"Make sure all the elders attend tomorrow's duel... There might be something truly worth watching!"

The Strongest Disciples: The Real Competitors Appear!

As the news spread, we started learning about some of the powerful disciples who hadn't participated in the test but were closely watching the event.

"Riker," the strongest inner disciple, at the fourth layer of the Spiritual Realm. He is known for his technique, "Black Death Hand," which kills anyone it touches!

"Sylva," an expert in water techniques, capable of creating deadly water cyclones and shattering rocks with ease!

"Jin," the Sect Master's favorite disciple. His strength is unknown, but he has never lost a battle before!

All of them were watching the upcoming battle with anticipation...
