Infinite Evolution System Made Me Too OP! - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Effortlessly Winning Fights
……

It looks like rumors about me have spread around to most of the Yang Sect, as the horrified looks on everyone’s faces are evident enough of that fact.

After realizing this, Azmodeus didn’t even feel like looking eye to eye with a bunch of cowardice trash, so he turned his gaze up to the announcer stands, awaiting the announcer’s voice.

And he didn’t have to wait long as the announcer did a quick head count and understood that all the Outer Sect Disciples in the Top 100 had made it to the arena.

“Is everyone ready for the Inner Sect Competition!? A competition in which the sect will decide who is best fit for the Inner Sect based on a series of bouts that will commence in a short bit!”

HOOORAAH!

The crowd erupted in cheers and screams, as the majority of them appeared to be looking in the direction of an adorable boy who stood with a blank expression on his face.

“I see you all are raring to go, so why don’t we look at the matchups for the Inner Sect Competition!?” The Announcer questioned with a boisterous voice.

–

A few minutes passed by as every participant was redirected to different parts of a now-split arena.

Unlike the Outer Sect Admittance Test, the Inner Sect Competition was one in which all of the contestants would fight every other contestant at least once until a final winner was ultimately decided.

Fights between Outer Sect Disciples usually end quickly, so going through thousands of fights doesn’t take too long,

That was especially the case when there were exactly 100 separate arena blocks that were made up of the original large one.

Nonetheless, Azmodeus now found himself on the other side of a fighting ring, facing a scrawny young man around fifteen years old.

However, despite the vast difference in size between the two competitors, the taller one was shivering like a jittery bug, while the other was watching a certain location of the Yang Arena with varying emotions flashing past his eyes.

It seems like a few rather distinguished guests have made their way up into the VIP stands…

Azmodeus’s eyes honed in on the few dozen VIP guests that were sitting up in the VIP stands.

And of the figures up there, a few Outer Deacons were present, including Elder Dong, Elder Yong, Elder Bin, and a few others.

However, these Outer Deacons weren’t what put him on edge; it was instead the Inner Deacons, Outer Elders, and Inner Elders that had decided to grace everyone with their presence.

In particular, it was the 40% Tempering Marrow and 60% Tempering Marrow Outer and Inner Elders that were conversing with each other while focused on him.

These old coots definitely want to use me as a bargaining chip to appease the anger of the Black Tiger Family. That much I can infer from the sinister looks on their faces…

Although Azmodeus thought things like this, the truth was that he completely understood why it was that they were aiming to do something to him.

After all, in the world of cultivation, benefits were power, and the number of benefits they could obtain from a powerful family like the Black Tiger Family was likely immense.

All in all, he couldn’t blame these elders for scheming behind his back, as he would probably do the same if he had been stuck in the same realm for so many years.

But regardless of how much he related to their feelings of frustration, they would still die if they went through with their sinister thoughts.

He was merciless when it came to those who wished to take his life away from him, no matter if they were his elders or not.

If they have the guts to go against the Sect Leader and collude with the Black Tiger Family, then I will take it upon myself to uproot not only the Black Tiger Family but also the Yang Sect as well…

Following these thoughts, he turned his emotionless gaze back down to his opponent.

“!!!” The young man opposing him practically pissed himself right then and there when he saw the look in the young boy’s pitch-black eyes.

“I-I give up!” He shouted without a second’s hesitation.

“Very well! Please leave the arena and wait for your next matchup to begin!” The announcer spoke with a loud voice, indicating a certain direction for the young man to go in.

The young man left the arena like his life depended on it, as he never looked back!

“…” Azmodeus was left on the stage all by himself, observing the receding figure of a young man in the Viscera Training Large Success Stage.

Does not a single one of these Outer Disciples have even the smallest smidgen of courage…?

He let out a light sigh before focusing on the ongoing fight with a boy he once called his friend.

Yang Xiao was never really the fighting type, so he was surprised that he participated in a Competition like this of his own volition.

Maybe he felt guilty about what he did to me on that day and decided to change himself for the better…?

That thought lingered around for a moment before he shook his head and softly murmured, “There’s no way that conniving bastard would ever think of anyone but himself.”

He discarded the topic of Yang Xiao after reaching this conclusion, as he didn’t feel like wasting any more brain power on that lousy bastard.

–

A few hours passed as thousands of matches had already started and ended.

All of the matches that Azmodeus participated in were won without him even doing anything, as the passive side effects of a few of his traits seemed to have some sort of intimidation effect on those who were significantly weaker than him in strength.

And after all this time, he simply took out a chair from his storage ring and sat on the fighting ring with a bored look on his face, waiting for the matches to keep ending.

A few more hours forever disappeared from the echoes of time, as the Top 10 were eventually chosen from all those in the Yang Arena.

None of them were particularly outstanding, as just about everyone here was someone lucky enough to get past the preliminaries without encountering the monster known as Azmodeus.

Furthermore, of the last 10 standing, 7 of them were in the Viscera Training Large Success Stage, while the other two were in the Viscera Training Small Success Stage.

There were a few cultivators in the Altering Muscle Stage—cultivators that thought they’d win the entire thing; however, upon coming into contact with ‘The Monster’, all of them gave up without a fight.

And then the moment finally came when the Announcer gave out the matchups, and unsurprisingly, everyone who got matched up against Azmodeus forfeited the matches right then and there.

However, there was one young boy who actually had the guts to go against the monster without running away.

That boy was Yang Xiao, otherwise known as the only friend Azmodeus ever had…
