975 Chapter 975: You want to fight?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In the battle, almost all the Noble Families of this world sent their best youngsters. In fact, they specifically brought these youngsters for this event. When were they going to get an opportunity like this after all?

All the Noble Families only wanted one thing! If they could get the General's favor, maybe next time their heir could be selected by them for the promotion tournament.

Through this showoff, they wanted to prove that their heirs were talented as well. They wanted General Ostrin to see how talented their heirs were and send them as a seeded candidate to the next trials.

Being a Seeded player came with lots of advantages. For one, the initial score was usually very high for seeded candidates, so even if they didn't perform as good as the others in the trial, the initial score was like a failsafe for them, which could still make them win since it was counted in the final score.

Moreover, since there were two Generals at a time like this, they had an opportunity of getting two seeded spots. Neither General Nimel nor General Ostrin had any other heir that was ready for the trial. The ones they had were sent this year. So the next slot was completely vacant.

Previously the clan didn't think of this, but after seeing Lucifer, they realized that they had an even better opportunity. If they could be selected as a disciple by the Generals, then what could be better? That could significantly boost their future prospects.

With that thought, all Noble Clans of this world were excited.

There were around twenty youngsters here, and there were only going to be ten battles since one battle each was enough to show off their potential.

The first battle started.

Back in the spectators, General Ostrin didn't seem impressed with the first battle. "They both learned some nice skills. And their potential isn't too bad either."

"Heh, are you being merciful because these are your people? This battle is completely trash. What talent isn't half bad? Their talent is trash. If even at that age, they can only do that much, then I'm disappointed. If they were in this year's trials, they would've come in last if they were extremely lucky. If not, they would've died at the start itself."

Unlike General Ostrin, General Nimel didn't mince his words. Lucifer also didn't disagree with him. He could see that these people were definitely weak. They didn't even have a fraction of Ron's strength.

Even if both of them fought Ron together, they would've died within seconds. He had seen Malin train and grow in the trial. She was the weakest in that event, but even she was much better than these people.

The first battle was over soon. The winner of the battle was ecstatic as he had shown all his skills. After the battle was over, he looked toward two Generals, waiting for praise.

Unfortunately, he could only see disappointment.

"Keep working hard." General Ostrin nodded. "I have high hopes for you."

Even though General Ostrin knew that he was speaking nonsense, he just couldn't get himself to hurt the youngsters. He was the Ancestor of the Ostrin Clan after all. They were his citizens.

General Nimel also gave General Ostrin some respect and didn't say anything. He didn't want to insult kids in the open. It didn't matter to him if they were all trash.

He had really expected to see some talented individuals so he could teach Lucifer the basics of battles, but only to be disappointed.

The battles continued, and throughout all ten battles, he only grew more disappointed. Some of the youngsters were much better than others, but none of them were in the league of Ron and Raayi, let alone being in the league of Lucifer.

After the ten battles were over, General Nimel stood up. "This should be enough, right?"

"Yeah." General Ostrin also stood up. Even he had high expectations of the youngsters of this generation. However, he hadn't been home in a long time. Even he had no idea that the younger generation was this disappointing.

After seeing the display of others, he was even more impressed with Ron. This guy was truly talented.

"Great Ancestors, please stop!" A voice came from the back.

"Huh?" The Two Generals turned around. They could see that the one who called out to them was one of the youngsters who had taken part in the battle.

"Yes?" General Ostrin asked. For this kid to approach them directly, he certainly had courage.

"Great Ancestor, I am planning to take part in next year's promotion trials. And I heard that the man next to you is the person who won this year. I was wondering if I'll be allowed to fight him to see just where I stand in the next year's tournament."

The red-haired man had seen that the two Generals weren't impressed. He also blamed that on his opponent. The opponent he faced was very weak. Before he could even show all his skills, that man lost.

Even the two Generals left, seemingly disappointed; he realized that there was no way they were going to give him a seeded spot. He needed to do something about it! He wanted another opportunity to show his skills!

Since the winner of the current trials was already before him, he was sure that this was the opportunity he needed. With Lucifer, he could show all his skills. Moreover, if he could defeat Lucifer, he could prove that he deserved to be the seeded candidate for the next year.

Moreover, he believed that if he defeated Lucifer, who was the disciple of General Nimel, he could have an opportunity of being selected by them as their disciple.

"Oh? You want to fight him?" After a long time, there was a smile on General Nimel's face.

He hadn't seen Lucifer fight, but he saw Lucifer bring a General down to their knees. He couldn't believe that this kid really thought he could defeat Lucifer with his skills. Wasn't he looking down on others a bit too much?
