Chapter 162: Breakdown Before The Battle (Part 2)

"Brother..." Grace Rodriguez was about to speak but was immediately silenced by a glare.

"Shut up. Just listen to Ms. Rodriguez. If you act like that again, even I can’t save you," Alex Rodriguez sternly cautioned her while lowering his voice.

Grace Rodriguez felt resentful.

She didn’t understand why Andrian Rodriguez was so certain when Yannis Yoderg’s strength was supposedly higher than Amalia’s.

Alex Rodriguez also wondered why, but he knew now wasn’t the time to ask questions; it wouldn’t be wise to irritate Andrian Rodriguez.

Amidst the crowd’s attention, Kenny Lin casually took a seat in a spot where nobody dared to approach, and standing out independently within a five-meter radius.

Ten minutes before the life-and-death battle began, the school forum and many students’ communicators received the same message from a friend:

"Kenny Lin is in Building X, Arena X, preparing to watch the life-and-death battle between first-year Amalia and Yannis Yoder. Everyone come quickly!"

"Is this for real? Even for a life-and-death battle, would Kenny Lin bother to watch two first-year students? What’s the big deal in the eyes of a big shot?"

"Believe it or not, I’m already in the arena, but I dare not approach the big shot."

"Scared to approach +1. The big shot exudes an imposing aura; I’m afraid to get crushed if I get too close."

"Exaggerating—no, I also want to go to pay my respects."

"Ahh, can someone save me a spot? I’ll rush back to school immediately!"

"..."

In the last five minutes, the sparse spectators gradually filled the empty seats, anf quickly crowding the arena, except for the area around Kenny Lin.

Yannis Yoder who intended to keep a low profile, now had a face as dark as a burnt pan bottom.

He didn’t dare stare at Kenny Lin; powerful individuals were sensitive to gazes.

If he harbored even a shred of ill intent, it would immediately be noticed.

He couldn’t provoke Kenny Lin and wasn’t qualified to do so, so he could only glare at Amalia.

He suddenly realized something; it seemed that every time he was filled with confidence, and thinking his plan was about to succeed, he would receive a sudden blow that made him immediately face reality.

This realization was like a heavy blow to Yannis Yoder’s heart, and making him uneasy.

His confidence was shattered by half, and he appeared disconcerted, especially when he couldn’t discern Amalia’s strength.

This unease reached its peak.

Yannis Yoder hurried back to the audience to find Karina Wences.

"What are you doing back here?" Karina Wences didn’t want so many people to know she was there.

Seeing Yannis Yoder approach her publicly, the onlookers immediately showed disapproval on their faces.

"Ms. Wences, can you see how high Amalia’s cultivation level is?" Yannis Yoder asked nervously, disregarding the potential scolding.

Karina Wences hesitated for a moment.

She was about to mention that she was only a Level 5 beginner stage.

However, as her gaze fell upon Amalia, she froze.

How could this be?

She couldn’t gauge Amalia’s strength anymore.

Yannis Yoderg had already seen the answer from Karina Wences’s reaction and collapsed onto the audience seat, his legs were losing a strength.

Although Karina Wences was an artificer, she had the support of the Wences family and Yoder family, that help her to reaching Level 5 advanced stage early on.

They couldn’t gauge Amalia’s strength.

This could only mean one thing: Amalia’s strength was at least on par with theirs, possibly even Level 5 advanced stage.

It had only been two days.

In such a short time, why had such a significant change suddenly occurred?

"Cheating! She must be cheating!" Yannis Yoder suddenly became agitated.

Glancing at Yannis Yoder, whose mentality was on the verge of collapse, Karina Wences suddenly cursed inwardly, thinking this fool could at least be used as a pawn.

Yet, before the game even began, he was already falling apart.

Karina Wences couldn’t help but wonder if Yannis Yoder was truly a young master of the Yoder family.

Why was his mentality so fragile, not even comparable to a dog’s?

Little did she know, that it was because Yannis Yoder had faced numerous setbacks before and he was now in a life-and-death battle.

Onstage, in a matter of life and death, only one would stand in the end.

If Amalia didn’t die, it meant Yannis Yoder would; facing such a hopeless situation, even a normal person would be moved.

Karina Wences quickly reported this incident, along with Yannis Yoder’s breakdown, to Rasler Yoder.

There wasn’t much else to say; there was only one clear and concise sentence.

—"Make sure he has to participate."

Karina Wences immediately understood his meaning: if Yannis Yoder didn’t participate, he might survive, but the reputation of the Yoder family would suffer.

As this suggestion came from Rasler Yoder, it was certain the main family would hold Yannis Yoder accountable.

Although not a serious issue, for Rasler Yoder, who maintained a flawless track record, it would leave an indelible stain.

Hence, Yannis Yoder had to participate.

Turning off the communicator without leaving a trace, Karina Wences’s face gradually revealed a smile.

"Yannis Yoder, don’t overthink it. Before Amalia entered the spiritual training room, didn’t you already send someone to inquire? She only possesses a Level 5 beginner stage cultivation, and in just two and a half days, even if she took the Heaven Origin Golden Pill, it’s impossible for hrr to advance that much.

Look at Kenny Lin. Despite being hailed as a once-in-a-millennium monstrous genius, even he has never advanced more than one level in less than three days. Amalia might be considered a genius at most, but she’s far from being labeled monstrous.

So, based on my observations, she must have used some means to temporarily conceal her cultivation level, and making it inscrutable to us."

Karina Wences slowly breached Yannis Yoder’s guarded thoughts, and deliberately slowing down her speech.

"Why would she do this then? With her Level 5 begiiner stage strength, sooner or later, she’ll meet her end. Employing these underhanded methods won’t change the outcome, right?" Yannis Yoder was half-convinced, and finally calming down.
