"Captain Ramon, I must admit, your breaking through to the King Realm means you are indeed
powerful. But I'm afraid you will be at a disadvantage if you challenge me, seeing that you've just made
the breakthrough!" Jasper arrogantly teased.
"We won't know what will really happen until we fight." Ramon's eyes narrowed at him.
"Well then, let's find out." As soon as the words left Jasper's mouth, the spiritual sword behind him
instantly soared high into the sky. Yet, the next moment, it immediately dove down into the ground and
disappeared from sight.
Jasper's Body-trapping Swordsmanship had the ability to easily pierce through stone which allowed it
to hide underground, waiting for the right time to strike its clueless opponent.
But little did he know Ramon was aware of this technique. Ramon stood there with his guard down,
acting as if he had no clue what was going on.
Everyone watching was also confused by what was happening. Although they knew that Ramon was a
capable swordsman and was calm under intense situations, they sensed something different about him
this time.
However, Jasper didn't waste his time to doubt why his opponent just stood there. He only had one
goal in mind, which was to keep his position as the champion.
He didn’t let up the opportunity to strike his still foe. A loud metallic sound suddenly came from beneath
and a sword shadow rushed out from the ground. Its aura wrapped Ramon’s whole body, making it
almost impossible for him to escape.
To everyone's surprise, Ramon didn't struggle at all and let Jasper use the Body-trapping
Swordsmanship to trap him completely in place.
The crowd burst into an uproar upon seeing that. They thought that Ramon should at least take the
fight seriously even though he knew that he wouldn’t stand a chance. But the fact that he just stood still
in the middle, not even opening his eyes, struck the nerves of everyone watching.
Soon, Ramon's limbs and torso were completely bound by the sword aura of the Body-trapping
Swordsmanship. He was unable to do anything, let alone resist.
"I thought you were powerful, but now it turns out that you are just bluffing. Why did you still chose to
fight me and humiliate yourself?" Jasper snorted.
Ramon still stayed motionless, but now he opened his eyes and looked at Jasper, as if he was waiting
for his next move.
As soon as Jasper saw his opponent helpless, he didn't waste any more time and rushed forward to
Ramon. Although the Body-trapping Swordsmanship was powerful, it had one fatal weakness. Once it
was activated, the user had to focus all his energy in maintaining it. If he wanted to end the skill, he had
to defeat his opponent.
In an instant, Jasper gathered his spiritual power at a very close distance and hit Ramon with his palm.
He didn't even use his spiritual skill since he felt that his palm strike would be enough.
Almost everyone immediately regarded the battle as over.
The only two people who didn't think so were Rocky and Tessa.
During their secret training in the past half month, the three of them made astonishing progress,
especially Ramon. He drastically changed his fighting style. Instead of choosing to fight long, gruesome
battles, he chose to hone techniques that would allow him to end a fight with just one strike.
When he saw Jasper approaching him, he knew that the opportunity had come.
His eyes suddenly darkened. Out of the blue, the spiritual sword behind him suddenly shot high into the
air, turning into a sword blade storm which easily cut the sword aura binding him. Then, his body
combined with the sword blade storm and he rushed towards his shocked foe.
Jasper didn't expect that Ramon could easily break his Body-trapping Swordsmanship. He knew he
couldn't deal with the attack on time, but when he was about to stop and retreat, it was already too late.
The sword blade storm of Ramon had already enveloped and devoured him.
"Ah... Ah!" Under the rampage of the sword blade storm, Jasper's clothes were torn into pieces, and his
body was covered with hundreds of wounds.
After the sword blade storm dissipated, Jasper was found kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.
His face was ghastly in fear of dying. After all, Ramon's move was so powerful that he couldn’t do
anything to stop it.
"Admit defeat!" Ramon said coldly.
Although Jasper struggled to accept the fact that he was defeated, he knew that he was no match for
Ramon. One move was all it took for the battle to end. And so, he struggled to stand up, and limped out
of the arena under the judging gaze of the audience.
As soon as he exited, the crowd burst into a roar. No one expected Ramon to defeat someone like
Jasper. The fact that he had just broken through to the King Realm made it all the more astonishing.
But they knew that strength was the key factor in deciding the winner. No one doubted Ramon to be
stronger than Jasper.
He was crowned as the new champion, and would now accept challenges from other powerful warriors
at the King Realm.
"Who would've thought that would be the ending!" Even Harrison was in disbelief.
While both Miguel and Xavier were seeing what happened, their faces darkened. Not only did they not
expect Ramon to win, but he also changed his fighting style. He defeated an experienced warrior of the
Sword Spirit City with just one move. They knew that he couldn't do all of that with just luck.
Many also regarded his victory as a one and done deal. Since he had only recently reached the King
Realm, Jasper let his guard down, which allowed Ramon to defeat him. If a different opponent at
Jasper’s level was more cautious, Ramon couldn’t defeat his opponent.
Again, to everyone's surprise Ramon defeated several senior warriors at the King Realm who obtained
Spiritual Infant at the the primary stage in succession, proving his amazing strength!
"Although Ramon has just broken through to the King Realm, he moves like an experienced fighter. He
never misses the chance to land a lethal strike. I don't know how he cultivated this technique!" Harrison
commended him.
The other hall leaders nodded in agreement.
Ramon proved himself time and time again by defeating many senior warriors. That was not an easy
feat!
Seeing Ramon be in the limelight, Xavier couldn't stand it anymore. As soon as the former defeated
another powerful fighter, the latter rushed into the field and landed in front of his
opponent.
