Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 250: Arrival of Prince Arthur

After the Emperor sat down, he gave a nod for the competition to proceed and then a middle-aged man who was the coordinator of today's tournament flew to the center of the arena and announced.

"Today is scheduled for the ranking battles as you all know. But first the let those who have received ranking slots from their respective powers step forward!"

After this was said, a number of persons flew to the stage with some using advanced and highly skilled movement techniques to appear on the stage closest to them.

Many lower realm practitioners saw this and spoke words of praise to them.

After a good number of them had arrived on the stage, the invigilator furrowed his brows and then turned to the Emperor seeking for a word of direction.

At this time, a number of persons also noticed that something is amiss and began to whisper among themselves.

The number of participants who already had their slots number 133 but only 132 persons stepped forward.

To those who are uniformed, the missing person was obvious. The coordinator also noticed this and look towards where the Emperor was seated seeking for his guidance only for the man seated close to the emperor to stand up and announced.

"The Emperor has exempted Prince Arthur from this battle."

He was an old looking man who had an extraordinary air of authority akin to royals around him. He was the Prime Minister, Howard Hules. After speaking he sat back down and didn't bother to offer any explanations.

Ignoring the dissatisfied murmurs going on around, the coordinator of this session promptly proceeded to continue with the challenges.

Of course there were many who tried to voice their opinion as even if Arthur was a prince, this blatant favoritism was 'unfair' to the other seeded contestants.

But with a little released of aura from some powerful figures, the young ones held back their words and decided to see how great Prince Arthur was for themselves later.

Anastasia who was on stage did not also know of anything like this as she was also participating in the battle, even Ava the sweetheart of the Alchemy Association was here too. Although she looked a bit disappointed that Arthur was not participating in this round, she didn't dwell much on it and focused on not losing her spot.

Soon lots were drawn and each seeded participant was matched with an opponent and the battles commenced.

It was not until noon that the challenges finally came to an end and a short two hour break was announced.

While everyone was resting, time passed swiftly and soon it was time for the next round of battles to commence. As the coordinator prepared to go on stage the majestic roar of a powerful creature echoed from the clouds.

"Roooar!"

*fwoosh!*

Everyone looked at the skies and felt a very powerful aura descent.

Many Elders of the the various powers frowned and some even flew up and stood in the skies looking in the direction of that aura with their expressions portraying the idea of facing a great enemy.

"What is that?!"

"I don't know, I've never felt anything like it." The younger ones discussed, not fully aware of the strength of the beast.

But as the unknown flying beast drew closer, those with greater strength were able to see that it was not alone. There was someone on the beast.

Such a ferocious beast was tamed by an individual.

Finally the beast got close enough and to the shock of the cultivators, the one on top the beast was none other than Prince Arthur!

Moreover…

"A Dragon? Is that a Dragon Beast?!"

"But how could a dragon be here? Weren't the Sea Dragon Race said to have disappeared during the time of the last Realm War?"

The Dragon Race that the people of the Mortal Emperor Realm knows of is none other than that of the Sea Dragon Race.

The Sea Dragon Race was the overlord of the Seas and all its inhabitants. There were extremely powerful and highly revered.

Although once in a while some Spirit Beasts on land could be found to be carriers of the dragon bloodline but it was very rare.

Soon, Arthur ordered his mount to land on one of the stages and as it did many could finally sense the power of the Spirit Beast.

'This Beast…'

"It's power is stronger than that of a Martial Emperor."

This was the conclusion the experts arrived at which cause their thoughts to diverge.

They surely did not believe this rare Spirit Beasts was tamed by Arthur, but it should be a personal gift from the Emperor.

Meanwhile, The Emperor noticed the gazes that fell on him and shook his head inwardly. He knew best that he had no idea that Arthur had a mount like this.

'It seems Arthur has really grown up,' he thought and sighed secretly as he recalled their conversation yesterday.

Although he somewhat predicted that things might develop this way, the thing Arthur revealed to him were too shocking. At this point he was now sure than ever.

'His true background is beyond anyone's imagination.'

After Arthur stepped off the Dragon Beast he tap it and it flew off into the skies with greater speed than it used to arrive. It's speed in particular made the expert squint their eyes as with just this they already saw it as a powerful opponent but they didn't dwell on it.

'One Spirit Beast is not enough to turn the situation around.'

"Welcome Prince Arthur," The Invigilator of the matches gave a short bow to Arthur, something he never did for the other Princes who saw this and furrowed their brows a bit before scoffing at the differential attitude.

One of the Princes in particular stared at Arthur with an intense gaze.

'Who is that?' Arthur sensed it and looked in that direction and saw the young man looking at him.

'Prince Kalius huh?' Arthur recognized him.

Among all the Princes, he was the most secretive, well maybe not secretive but he was an absolute loner.

'His aura is strange. He seems to have mastered some ancient ability, interesting?'

Arthur noticed but his expression remained unchanged.

Now that he had recovered his original memories, you can say that he is a changed man.

Even though he looks to be in his teens, his gaze was as deep as the abyss, or…even deeper.
