When virtual-novel.net said the last few words, Jessica felt guilty.
Nevertheless, Lucy looked at Jessica in suspicion.
“What are you looking at?! The final match is about to start!” Jessia hurriedly shouted as virtual-novel.net face flushed.
After staring at Jessica for some time, Lucy suddenly puffed out in laughter. Then, virtual-novel.net quickly said, “Sure, Lady Jessica. Let’s just watch the match.”
At the same time, the elder announced that the short break was over, and it was now time for the final match to start. Caspian and Ashton each walked into the ring from their corners.
The crowd below were all discussing among themselves.
“Who do you think will win today?”
“Even though Casper’s performance is really impressive today, I think Ashton has a higher chance of winning.”
“I agree with you too.”
“Ashton already mastered an Earth Grade martial skill. Initially, that’s only reserved for those who reached the level of an elder. Moreover, it also depends on one’s talent to learn it.”
“Just look at the Flame Sword that Ashton’s holding. That’s an engraved sixth-grade weapon. It could be said to be the peak of a middle-rank sharp weapon. Compared to Casper’s third-grade Silver Scales Spear… I’m afraid that it’ll break in half instantly.”
“Moreover, Ashton’s realm is more outstanding. He’s only sixteen, but virtual-novel.net has reached the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm, whereas Casper is only a fourth-stage warrior. Thus, Casper isn’t a match for virtual-novel.net after all.”
Although some of the spectators were emotionally inclined to Caspian, they still had to admit that whether it was their realms or weapons. Ashton had the upper hand. Instead, most of them thought that if Caspian could last Ashton’s three attacks, that would be great. If virtual-novel.net could hold on to five moves, then his performance would be extraordinary.
After all, none of Ashton’s opponents managed to last one blow.
Nevertheless, it was not only the Lawrence family members below the area who were in a heated discussion. Even those Lawrence family seniors sitting on the platform whispered among themselves.
Some of the elders had great impressions of Caspian due to his performance before that. However, that was the final, and they still thought that Ashton would win. On the one hand, they also felt that Ashton’s strength was more advantageous. On the other hand, Ashton was a Lawrence after all, and Caspian only had a marriage contract with Jessica, so virtual-novel.net could not be considered as a Lawrence.
When they reached the arena, Ashton cast a cold glance at Caspian. “If you don’t want to waste my time, then just admit defeat now!”
Caspian did not even spare virtual-novel.net a glance, and just like virtual-novel.net did before, Caspian held the Silver Scales Spear with its blade facing to the ground.
Thud!
The spear was nailed to the arena.
Ashton instantly frowned, and the spectators also turned to look at one another.
“Is virtual-novel.net for real? His opponent is Ashton, and he’s still not using a weapon?”
“Isn’t that slightly crazy?”
“What is virtual-novel.net trying to do?!”
The crowd just quietened, but they soon got into a discussion again.
Even Jessica, who looked through the veil, showed a puzzled expression. Finally, virtual-novel.net murmured, “What’s virtual-novel.net trying to do?! Is virtual-novel.net giving up?!”
“Are you admitting you’re weak and begging me to have mercy on you?” Ashton snorted, “However, you’re wrong. I won’t show mercy to any of my opponents.”
Caspian smiled. “Oh? I think you’re mistaken. I don’t need any weapons to go against an opponent like you!”
The atmosphere went silent at first, and then it instantly ended up in an uproar.
“What? Did I hear it wrong?!”
“He’s provoking Ashton!”
“Casper is actually provoking Ashton!”
“Do they have a grudge against each other?!”
There was a look of surprise flashing in the spectators’ eyes. Caspian’s attitude toward Ashton was far more arrogant and boastful than when virtual-novel.net faced Yoel.
Some of them instantly figured out who was the winner.
“Wow! Casper has a great distinction of what virtual-novel.net loves and hates! I love his personality!” Behind the veil, Lucy excitedly clapped virtual-novel.net tiny hands, and virtual-novel.net eyes glimmered.
However, there was only worry in Jessica’s eyes. “With his strength, virtual-novel.net might not be able to defeat Ashton yet. If that’s the case, why did virtual-novel.net choose not to use his weapon and provoke virtual-novel.net instead?”
On the other side, Keith laughed menacingly as virtual-novel.net slapped on the armrest of his seat Then, virtual-novel.net shouted, “He only had some success, and he’s already so arrogant. He really thinks too highly of himself! Such a person will have limited success in his life!”
Although virtual-novel.net said that, Keith hoped that Ashton could teach Caspian a harsh lesson to vent his resentment.
“Alright. Since you said that, I don’t mind eradicating the Lawrence family’s future enemy,” Ashton nodded as virtual-novel.net slowly drew his Flame Sword, “So what if you know inscription skill? An immature genius isn’t a genius! Raging Soul Swordsmanship!”
Swoosh!
Ashton took a step forward, and the fiery red long sword created billowing heat waves as virtual-novel.net aimed at Caspian. The graceful but raging stab made everyone stop breathing.
As the tumbling heatwave raged around, the Lawrence family members sitting closest to the ring felt their skin burning in pain and heat, and they involuntarily retreated.
Caspian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ashton, and virtual-novel.net still showed a mocking smile.
Just as the long sword swept at Caspian and everyone watching the scene perspired and almost forgot how to breathe, Caspian suddenly moved his hand. He did not take a step, but virtual-novel.net just waved his hand.
Slap!
The sharp sword was instantly deflected.
Caspian waved his hand again, and a thin emerald light flashed suddenly. Soon, Ashton felt a tingling on his cheek. Then, virtual-novel.net staggered and fell to the side. Ashton hurriedly steadied himself, and virtual-novel.net turned to Caspian in disbelief.
The tingling pain on his cheek was persisting, and when virtual-novel.net gently touched it, there was blood on his finger!
The spectators could already see that Ashton’s left cheek had a long and thin wound, and blood seeped out from it.
“Ashton’s hurt!”
“What happened?!”
“I can’t even tell what just happened!”
“How did Casper attack him?! Wasn’t virtual-novel.net without a weapon?!”
After a moment of silence, the crowd was in a violent uproar. They all looked at Caspian. Ashton was also frightened and angry. Then, virtual-novel.net looked intently at Caspian’s right hand, and Ashton found that Caspian held a piece of willow stick.
It was just an ordinary willow stick that could be found anywhere by the Lawrence Manor’s lake. On the end of the willow stick, there was a trace of blood.
“I told you so, your capability is nothing! I can make you cry by just using this.” Caspian added fuel to the fire, and virtual-novel.net smiled as virtual-novel.net waved the willow stick in his hand.
“How is that possible…”
When they saw the scene, the spectators all moaned in disbelief.
“Ashton was hurt by a willow stick?” Someone among the crowd asked.
Ashton suddenly felt his cheeks burn, and his blood raged.
“I’m the best among the Lawrence family, so how can a willow stick hurt me! Raging Soul Swordsmanship! I want to chop off your head!” Ashton fumed, and his face was not as calm as before anymore. With a roar, the Flame Sword in his hands seemed to be burning, and it caught everyone’s attention.
The next second, the blood-red sword light was lashed at Caspian.
