Path of Absolute Transcendence

A week had passed since the announcement, and it was already the day of the competition. During this period, the relationship between Anna and Williams also developed a lot. He had to monitor them all the time to prevent Anna from doing anything stupid.

Kai arrived at the Hell Field; the place was already crowded. He found a place with fewer people and stood there. He also spotted both Williams and Anna standing in respective places since inner and outer sect disciples have different gathering places.

Soon the grand elder and holy son arrived with a group of elders.

"This competition is held in the format of a battle royale. A hundred disciples will participate in each round, and the battle will continue until ten disciples remain, The ten disciples selected from the previous round will battle again if their number exceeds 100.

Like this, one hundred disciples will be selected for both outer and inner sects. The participants must all be in the same major realm in the battle royale. Any cheating or prohibited act will be severely dealt with according to the sect rules.

Killing fellow disciples in the battle royale is also forbidden."

The elder announced the rules of the tournament.

'It is a good idea to conduct battle royale to reduce time.' thought Kai. The outer sect alone has approximately 6,000 disciples, and selecting 100 disciples by conducting individual competitions consumes a lot of time. So by doing this, a lot of time can be saved.

The same goes for the inner sect, as they had more than 2,000 disciples.

"All disciples must participate in the battle corresponding to the number in the token." The grand elder said this and waved his hand.

A lot of tokens appeared out of thin air and started flying towards the disciples. Everybody got a token with numbers in it.

'Let's see my lucky number,' thought Kai. He saw that the token had a number three in it. He had to battle in the third battle royale.

'I should not reveal all my cards in this round. I need to obtain first place in the next round without revealing my full strength,' thought Kai.

He decided to reveal everything other than [Freedom Scripture] and Will path cultivation, so that he could safely achieve first place in the ranking tournament.

"Disciples who are having token number one come to the field and prepare for the battle. I repeat here once again, that killing fellow disciples is strictly prohibited during the competition. The battle for the spot in the secret realm begins." The grand elder announced the start of the competition.

Two battles are going on at the same time, one for the outer sect disciples and the other for the inner sect disciples. Kai changed his place to see the battle more clearly.

He did not watch the outer sect battle, they are only at different stages of the mortal realm and won't learn anything from them, so he decided to watch the inner sect disciples to see how they are using their talent.

"Holy son, the disciple over there is called Aman. He is the best among the geniuses in the current inner sect; his innate talent is also a good one with great potential." The elder gave information about the genius in the inner sect.

"So, there is only one genius in this badge?" asked Yang Wudi in confusion.

"Yes, holy son, the geniuses are deliberately placed in separate groups to avoid facing them at this stage. Giving them a chance to participate in the expedition of the secret realm will increase their loyalty to the sect." The elder cleared the doubts of the holy son.

The battle continued, and Aman was surrounded by more than ten disciples. He was calm during the situation without any nervous expression on his face.

"Do you think you rats can defeat me just by ganging up on me?" Aman mocked the group without any fear.

"Do you think we will be afraid of you? Don't forget that we are a group and you are alone. We can easily defeat you." Said a person from the group.

"What you said is true, but that does not apply to me. I am an expert in handling group battles, so start preparing for any injuries" Aman replied arrogantly.

He immediately screamed and tore his shirt down, after that, he became a huge giant.

"Now, do you think you can beat me ?" He asked in a loud voice.

"W-what happened to y-you ?" The group asked in a panic. His appearance intimated them, his height alone is more than 8 meters. With his giant physique, he seems like a small, moving mountain.

"It is my innate talent called gigantification. Now let's enjoy the battle." Said Aman in a loud voice and started rampaging the battlefield.

The battle was purely one-sided. Nobody could even break his defense; he massacred everyone without breaking a sweat.

"You guys are really weak, you are not able to handle a single punch from me." Said Aman arrogantly.

The disciples in the field were not able to argue with this, and most of them were in despair. He easily won the first battle, and he is the only winner in the round, and all the remaining members are eliminated by him.

'His talent is really good. It seems this sect holds a lot of hidden talents.' thought Kai. Aman's talent in the future will have a large impact in group battles like war, he plays a huge strategic role in a lot of crucial battles.

"Is there anyone with a higher potential than Aman in the inner sect ?" Asked Yang Wudi to the elder.

"No, holy son. Aman is the top talent in the inner sect, but there is a disciple with the same potential as Aman called Leiyin. He is also a very good genius with great potential." Replied elder to the holy son.

"The winner of this round is Aman. The disciple with the number two on their token gets ready for their battle.

The battle will commence in five minutes; late participants will not be allowed in the battle royale." The grand elder announced the result of the first battle royale and also about the next battle royale.

The second battle also started. As soon as the battle started, more than twenty disciples surrounded the leiyin to eliminate him.

"Don't talk nonsense like the previous idiots. Attack him with all you have; otherwise, he will eliminate all of them." A person in the group shouted.

"Tchhh! Why are you guys like this? You are supposed to be the side character for me as the protagonist. How dare you try to change the fate?" Leiyin asked in a crazed manner.

A lot of thunder appeared around him, and his whole body became elementalized in thunder and lightning.

"Feel the wrath of heaven," said Leiyin, and he used his thunder to attack them.

*AHHHHHH*

The disciples are not able to avoid the attack, because the thunder attack is very fast. A lot of them screamed in agony because of the pain, and a lot of them had their skin torn apart by the heat of the lightning.

Soon, almost all the disciples gave up seeing this gore scene.

"I give up"

As they gave up, Leyin won the match easily and without any trouble.

"Holy son, his talent is good, but his character is very bad. He won't talk with anyone weaker than him. He also has some personality issues." Said elder to the holy son.

"Don't worry about that elder. I will subdue him with strength. This type of person will have a hard time accepting reality, if he chooses to embrace it, I will accept him. But if he had the choice to resist, eliminate him immediately to avoid any future trouble" Yang Wudi said in an emotionless tone.

He did not have any guilt about killing his people to avoid any danger.

'Has this guy had some problems with his brain?' thought Kai. He did not expect such a person with this kind of mentality to exist, he would face a lot of challenges if he continued this kind of attitude.

This type of protagonist syndrome will limit his potential unless he is the protagonist of the world.

'But this is a good thing for me. I don't need to keep an eye on him until he comes to his senses.' thought Kai. The sect will keep an eye on this type of insane person to avoid any trouble because they know the person with this type of character will not accept being someone else's subordinate.

"The winner of this round is Leiyin. The disciple participates in the third battle and starts preparing for the battle." The grand elder announced the result and told about the next battle.

Kai was already ready, so he went directly to the field with only the sword in his hands. While standing there, he sensed a gaze on him, so he immediately saw in the direction of the gaze.

'It seems they are testing me.' thought Kai. The saint realm elder chooses to spy on him due to the calm vibe that Kai is excluding, but he does not expect to be found.

"Holy son, it seems we found the realm gem in this tournament." Said the elder. He is the one who spied on Kai.

"Why are you saying this, elder ?" Yang Wudi asked in confusion.

"The one standing alone in the field was able to sense my gaze. I chose to spy on him to evaluate, but he immediately sensed my gaze, so I withdrew it." The elder replied to Yang Wudi.
