SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 178: Arena is set for Gamblers

Inside the central administration hall of the Eternal Sun Sect, the four out of five peak masters gathered around a round table. The other senior elders and vice-peak masters sat in a spherical shape at a distance from the main table.

All of them sat silently without uttering a word. The burning sun peak's master, Nicole, and the falling sun peak's master, Harry, are exchanging serious looks. On the opposite side, peak master Shreya is whispering something in the ear of beast abode peak's master Leona.

No one paid any attention to the empty chair on the eastern side, as Peak Master Porus has been absent from sect activities for a decade.

Burning Sun Peak's Master Nicole adjusted his throat before speaking. Everyone inside the room sat back in their chairs and put on serious faces, waiting for Nicole to speak.

"As all of you know the reason for this gathering, I won't go into details. There are three spots available for inheritance ground. As the main peak with potential strong fighters, my burning sun peak has the right to all three spots. But as a generous person, I will only keep two spots. You people can discuss the one remaining spot." Nicole announced it in a confident tone.

In the next second, the old lady Leona slapped the table with her palm with an angry glare. "Do you think we are all stupid? Since the last three decades, your burning sun peak has taken enough opportunities, I'm not going to tolerate this anymore."

"Yes, your burning sun peak is consuming a lot of sect resources while my healing sun peak is working hard. How can you be so shameless as to ask for two of the three spots?" Peak Master Shreya added in a bickering tone.

The room became silent as the two ladies dominated without leaving any room for Nicole to speak. Falling Sun Peak's master, Harry, sat silently, waiting for his turn to speak for his peak.

Angered by the sarcastic statements of Leona and Shreya, Burning Sun Peak's master, Nicole, stood up and slapped the table with an irritating look.

"You two, stop blaming my burning sun peak. Do you forget whose peak disciples were the major ones to complete the mission and gather resources? Among the disciples who serve the sect, 60% are Burning Sun Peak disciples. Also, my peak disciples were the ones who brought glory to the Eternal Sun Sect in every competition. Do you forget it?" Nicole spoke angrily while staring at Leona.

But the old lady Leona is not someone who could be shut down with words. She began arguing more loudly while jeering at the burning sun peak for not winning one competition in the past three decades. The argument reached new heights as Leona brought up sensitive matters related to the burning sun peak.

The Falling Sun Peak's master, Harry, finally stood up and controlled the situation. Glaring angrily, Nicole sat back in her chair.

"I have a suggestion, only strength will determine the survival rate of a disciple in the trails of inheritance ground. So, let's put on a competition between our selected disciples, and the top three will be awarded the opportunity to Inheritance ground. How is it?" Harry asked with an anticipated look.

Falling Sun Peak has a top disciple who occupies the 6th spot in the arena. As Harry is confident in his disciple strength, he suggested this competition in the first place.

"I agree to this proposal." Nicole hurriedly consented, as his burning sun peak disciples can easily get two spots if competition occurs.

"No…" Both Shreya and old lady Leona spoke simultaneously. Exchanging an understanding look, Leona turned to speak.

"This competition will waste the time and energy of disciples, as we only have one month to prepare them for inheritance ground. So, I can't agree to this." Leona declared without giving her any opportunity to argue.

"If that is your concern, why not consider the arena? Let your selected disciples fight in the arena. We can allot the three spots to the top three disciples of our sect according to the Arena rankings.

We will determine the winners after twenty days, as it will give them enough time to prove themselves and also they can gain better fighting experience before entering the inheritance ground." Nicole suggested with a triumphant smile.

As Leona prepared to counter this idea, Shreya stopped her with a hand gesture. "We will agree to this suggestion. But you should promise that you won't go back on your words." Peak Master Shreya asked with a serious look.

Smiling victoriously, Nicole promised without a second thought. Harry also agreed to this suggestion, as he is confident in his personal disciple.

Soon, everyone left the administration hall, and the news about the Arena competition spread like wildfire. The other two sects of Golden Baboo City, Autumn Wind Sect and Jade Mountain Sect, also decided to select the disciple for inheritance ground based on Arena rankings.

All of a sudden, the arena became the central point of all three sects, and a festival-like atmosphere covered the arena. The gamblers began gathering a large amount of wealth as this competition is going to gather the attention of all the prominent families and wealthy people.

Most of the top disciples belong to rich families, so a large amount of wealth is going to change hands during this competition.

In the evening, Jabil, the serpent beast, landed close to the gate of the Eternal Sun sect. All the guarding disciples who already know about Kent through forums were surprised by the sight of Amelia, whose beauty can trample any lady inside the Eternal Sun sect.

Ignoring the prying glances, Kent showed his disciple token and moved towards the healing sun peak.

While on the path, Kent spoke with Amelia about the different peaks of the Eternal Sun sect. All the disciples who were moving on the path hurriedly moved to the side, afraid of Jabil's loud hissing. Most of these disciples were basically afraid of snakes, and the sight of Jabil frightened them to the core.

After reaching the healing sun peak, Kent carried Amelia in his hands and entered his room. He directly took her inside the washroom to soak her in medical solution. Sophia, who saw the pictures of Kent and Amelia in the healing sun peak forum, hurried towards the Kent room.
