Chapter 154: Yannis Comeback (Part 2)

"What does Young Master Yoder want to convey? What’s the matter for calling me here?" Yannis Yoder asked, and slowly regaining his composure.

Seeing him calm down, Karina Wences got straight to the point, "If I’m not mistaken, you were the one who used the dispersing bone fragrance on Amalia, right?"

Considering their enmity, there was no one else that he would dare to use that banned drugs except Amalia.

"Yes, but I didn’t personally see her ingest the dispersing bone fragrance." Yannis Yoder’s expression grew colder upon seeing Amalia so lively, and thinking she hadn’t been affected.

"Rasler suspects that she was indeed ingested the dispersing bone fragrance," Karina Wences said coldly.

Yannis Yoder’s eyes suddenly lit up, but then he found it improbable and shook his head, "It has been twenty days, if she really ingesting the dispersing bone fragrance, it’s impossible to still be alive."

Karina Wences’s expression darkened, "Are you questioning Rasler’s judgment?"

"I dare not," Yannis Yoder hastily denied.

Karina Wences huffed, "I don’t know what method she used, but a few days ago, during her match with Sebastian Caceres, her cultivation did indeed drop significantly. It’s evident that it was the effect of the dispersing bone fragrance. Since she earned quite a bit of money by making artifacts in Big Apple City and found a wood-type spirit cultivator upon arriving in the royal durian capital city, getting treatment wouldn’t have been difficult."

"Ah, I see," Yannis Yoder replied dryly.

"Rasler has already inquired. The dispersing bone fragrance is a stubborn substance; it takes at least a month to be expelled from the body. Now, it’s only been twenty days, indicating she’s not cured yet. Her cultivation will continue to decline. Winning against Sebastian Caceres the first time might have been luck; the next time won’t be so certain."

Yannis Yoder immediately caught Karina Wences’s implied meaning, "Are you suggesting we strike before she’s fully healed?"

Karina Wences nodded, "Exactly. So, it’s time for your performance. Rasler pulled you out; you better repay him well. With Amalia’s current cultivation level at level 5, if you lose again, you won’t need to appear in front of Rasler anymore."

Not having witnessed Amalia’s match with Sebastian Caceres, Yannis Yoder’s hesitation vanished upon hearing Amalia’s cultivation was only at level 5.

"Please tell Young Master Yoder that he can rest assured. I won’t spare Amalia. If she dares to accept my challenge, I’ll dare to kill her in the arena," Yannis Yoder declared.

School regulations prohibited killing during matches except in life-and-death battles where both parties agreed in writing that no one would be held responsible if one died in the arena—it was an agreement with legal validity.

"Very well, I’ll await your good news," Karina Wences smirked and left.

She then went back to inform Rasler Yoder about this development.

"Rasler, that fool has agreed. He’s going to challenge Amalia to a life-and-death battle," Karina Wences reported.

"Nicely done," Rasler Yoder nodded with a smile.

Karina Wences didn’t understand, "But do we really need to go to such lengths for a discarded member of the Yoder family? Is it worth your attention?"

After that day, they hadn’t found out why Amalia’s skills had suddenly become so formidable.

They could only speculate that perhaps Amalia had been pretending to be weaker than the first time she was being taken back by the Rodriguez family.

"If she were just a spirit cultivator, it wouldn’t matter. Unfortunately, she’s an artificer with discordant ties to the Yoder family."

Rasler Yoder actually wanted to eliminate the problem at its inception, but causing someone’s death within the school grounds would create a lot of trouble.

There had been growing dissatisfaction towards the Yoder family from higher-ups for some time.

He wouldn’t willingly to hand them a reason.

Karina Wences didn’t know any of this, and Rasler Yoder had no intention of telling her either—some things were better kept from too many people.

"I see, so you want to first use Yannis Yoder as a pawn to test the waters, to determine if Amalia warrants your personal intervention, right?" Karina Wences asked excitedly.

Rasler Yoder nodded gently, "Exactly."

Suddenly, Karina Wences’s communicator received a message.

After reading it, his eyes brightened. "He has challenged Amalia to a life-and-death battle."

Not long after Amalia’s match with Sebastian Caceres, while the aftermath still lingered, another life-and-death challenge was issued against her, causing a commotion on the forum once again.

There was a significant difference between a life-and-death battle and a regular challenge match.

The former could result in fatalities, whereas the latter had referees who are ensuring the safety, making fatalities impossible.

Therefore, fewer people tended to watch the latter.

However, there were many comments under the post.

"What’s with this deep-seated grudge? This first-year student named Amalia has been quite active lately."

"First a regular challenge match, now a life-and-death battle—how much hatred is there between them?"

"Yannis Yoder? I remember he’s from the Yoder family, right? Did Amalia offend the Yoder family in the royal durian capital city?"

"Don’t spread rumors upstairs. Yannis Yoder is from a branch of the Yoder family. He hasn’t been here since the beginning of the school year. I heard he was thrown into the spirit cultivators association’s big prison for using forbidden items."

"Only those who dabble in the dark arts would use forbidden items, right?"

"People from the Yoder family aren’t good folks. I support Amalia in this regard!"

"Supporting Amalia +1."

"Bunch of sycophants! Without the Yoder family’s contributions in artifact refining, would you all have so many artifacts in your hands? Without the Yoder family diligently providing a large number of artifacts, the frontlines might have collapsed long ago."

"Are you a lackey for the Yoder family upstairs? What did they give to you? You’re praising them so much, they must have let you lick their toes too!"

"..."

The discussion veered off track and turned into a debate about the Yoder family.

Those in favor lavishly praised them, while dissenters mocked them, sparking a heated argument.
