"Is there something that I don't know about?"

Drayken was truly too confused!

"Sigh." A sigh echoed in the surrounding; this was done by none other than the Dragon King himself.

"Very well, you may proceed with the match, and if you are able to beat all of them," the Dragon King paused, hesitation on his face as he spoke: "I will allow you any reward that you wish upon."

Drayken immediately agreed despite the doubts in his heart:

"Thank you for your magnanimous reward, Dragon King," he uttered while feeling a cringe in his heart.

Then the Dragon King went up to the sky and vanished from the place.

Drayken turned sideways to look at the fallen woman on the ground; her serious expression gradually melted into coldness.

As he walked up to her, she slightly curled her toes and muttered in a weak voice:

"What do you want?"

"Hmm?" Drayken didn't reply. He extended his hand towards her, and Synthia closed her eyes in nervousness.

But she didn't feel anything, so she slowly opened her eyes in confusion, only to see the bright, smiling face of Drayken:

"It's fine, there is no need to worry at all. I won't tickle you anymore."

Seeing the bright, sunny face of Drayken, Synthia just remained in place for a moment, not knowing how to react before she took a deep breath and calmed her thoughts.

"Thank… thanks."

"Come on, cheer up," he gave her a thumbs up. "Or should I tickle you again?"

"No." Synthia backed away instinctively with a pale expression.

"Haha."

Drayken tilted his head towards the sky and laughed it off. Synthia pouted and took his hand to stand up.

"Thank you."

She replied before scurrying off the stage, leaving Drayken there with a chuckle. It was always cute to see a frosty woman having such a moment in life.

Once you remove the guise of arrogance, then you will see the true world in all its glory.

The dragon people felt a little estranged in their hearts, and their hearts wavered for a few moments.

"Although he was a worm before, he already has the bloodline of our race."

"Not to mention, he also has the power of lightning…"

At this moment, the eyes of many dragon people started to change towards Drayken. It was like a domino effect, and for some, they were still stubborn.

But nevertheless, Drayken's reputation among the Dragons had increased by a lot—and I mean a lot!

The third match commenced, and this time, there was also a slim girl wearing a red devil's mark with two protruding horns. The mask was very similar to a Yaksha Mask.

And the horns from the mask matched the outline of the girl's own horns.

It was strange to see, nevertheless!

"This here is the princess of the Yaksha Clan, from the blood dragons, Yukia," the old man in a tuxedo introduced, and his figure vanished.

The match started off, and Drayken quickly ran towards her, his speed fast and brutal.

Even before Yukia could react, he reached her and punched with all his strength.

Yukia also didn't reply. Her purple pupils shimmered with killing intent as she raised two fingers in the air. Two shurikens shot from the sky and hit his outstretched fist before it could reach her, and the force managed to slow down his punch just enough that the woman got the time to back away.

Then Yukia took out two kunai with three pointed blades in a crouching position.

"A ninja?" Drayken's brows twitched ever so slightly.

But this didn't stop his march as he ran towards her and punched with all his strength. Yukia managed to dodge his attack and launched her kunai straight to his neck.

Drayken just sneered without fear and punched right at her heart. If this fist landed, she would definitely die.

The same couldn't be said about the kunai, though, because of his skin fortification.

He had found that this skin fortification was more effective against piercing weapons and useless against blunt force!

"Madman," Yukia gritted her teeth and backed away in the nick of time.

While backing away, she could see Drayken chasing from the corner of her eye, so she threw the kunai at him and prepared more in the span of a blink of an eye, all attacking his vital spots: each aimed to kill on the spot!

Drayken charged forth, the kunai deflected as he quickly reached her and punched with his full strength.

Bang!

The surrounding area trembled under his might and broke apart in almost an instant.

"This monster…"

Caught off guard, Yukia could only brace for impact—and oh, how she did…

A bone-cracking sound erupted, and her hands bent.

Yukia violently coughed blood and was launched into the air, landing outside the stadium.

"Umm?" Drayken looked at his fist for a moment and froze.

"I didn't mean to hurt her so much."

Silence!

The entire arena was silent, and they didn't start to curse Drayken; their gazes turning estranged.

Drayken still didn't know what was so special about his physique that the Dragon people had gone so quiet until now, but nevertheless, as long as his life wasn't in danger, there was no fear for him.

The match continued, and he faced off against another opponent. This opponent was a bulky and strong man with a height of four meters.

Drayken had to strain his neck to even see the man.

"Hello."

He replied with a smile on his face.

The bulky man didn't speak. He looked at Drayken with disdain.

"This chicken will save—" he paused while snorting, "I will be the judge of that."

"I am Valen, the warrior from the Mythos clan."

Without even the old man introducing him, the man replied already and was in a fighting position, causing the tuxedo old man to be speechless before he started the match.

Valen immediately leaped forward and punched strongly, and Drayken returned the punch in kind.

The two punches collided, and the shockwave shook the surrounding area.

The two's strengths were equal!

"Hmm?" Drayken felt a tingle that spread from his fist throughout his body, injuring his internal organs in the process.

"Vibration?"

From the corner of Drayken's lips, blood spurted out, and he removed the blood with a touch of his fingers. His bloodline pulsated and began to boil.

On the verge of death multiple times and able to absorb the power of lightning, his bloodline was undergoing another surge of change.

"Ora!"
