While the other two were unable to move because of the pressure, Qi Huan's condition was relatively better. He didn't dare to move, but he circulated his Eon Energy inside his body rapidly, trying to ease the pressure. It was not easy because he still felt as if his body was breaking, but it was not unbearable.

'In this condition, I won't be able to fight properly.'

Qi Huan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He had to break this pressure to allow the three of them a chance to counterattack.

"Say the oath or I'll crush the three of you," Mr. Jing said coldly.

Lu Wan gritted his teeth and raised his head. He sneered. "Do you really think that I'll give my oath to the organization when I have already said it to someone else?"

"You!"

Bang!

With a wave of his hand, Mr. Jing pushed Lu Wan to the back. His eyes were looking at the boy coldly with a trace of ruthlessness appearing within his eyes. It was apparent that he was angry.

"Yu Shui!" Zhan Jing initiated his Eon Energy as he created a sharp rock headed straight to the two men before him.

Tak!

Slash!

"This child play won't work on us," the first master had arrived before Zhan Jing. He raised his hand and initiated his ability. At that very moment, the entire area seemed to be enveloped in a fog.

"IT'S AN ILLUSION!" Qi Huan yelled with all of his strength, trying to break it for the others.

Ye Jiao blinked a few times. In that split second, she felt as if her soul was sucked into the fog. Thankfully, Qi Huan's voice brought her back to reality as she noticed that she was still standing in the arena. Even though the pressure around her was unbearable, it was still much better than when she didn't even know where she was.

"Thanks," Ye Jiao murmured. Her eyes were solemn.

There were still a lot of things she didn't know regarding Eon Energy Master Rank 4. They have a lot of types for specialization with elemental being only one of them. As she had only met with an elemental Eon Energy Master, she forgot that there were still other people with different skills.

Peng!

Lu Wan punched on the ground as he coughed. That illusion nearly killed him because he saw something attack him in that moment. When he woke up, thanks to Qi Huan's voice, he felt glad that there was nothing in front of him.

But the damage was done.

'It's so painful.'

Mr. Jing watched the children trying to fight back the pressure with amusement . He shook his head lightly. Their efforts were useless.

"In front of absolute power, there's nothing that you can do."

After he had finished speaking, Mr. Jing waved his hand. He chanted a few words as Ye Jiao felt as if her body lost control. There was a strange strand of energy that entered her body and controlled it.

"Let's start with the little girl."

His heart was in despair.

No… Don't force her to say the oath!

Once she did, she wouldn't be able to fight back against the organization.

Ye Jiao felt the surge of energy entering her body. Her eyes widened as she realized that her mouth started to speak.

"I…, Ai Jiao, swear my loyalty…."

"Don't say it!" Qi Huan yelled.

"Guh!" Ye Jiao struggled to fight back against the unknown energy, but she felt as if she was unable to do anything.

'No… don't… don't make me say it… I don't want to say it….'

No matter how much her heart screamed, Ye Jiao was unable to stop her mouth as words continued to flow slowly.

"loyalty…"

Mr. Jing felt like he was losing his patience as he watched Ye Jiao utter each word slowly. He waved his hand, sending more Eon Energy to Ye Jiao's direction.

"Swear my loyalty…" Ye Jiao struggled to not say the next words as her heart continued to scream loudly. She didn't want to say it!

Utilizing her Eon Energy to the fullest, she noticed that her necklace started to shine. It was the necklace that her father gave to her in order to hide her power as Eon Energy Master. At this time, it suddenly shone as warm Eon Energy flew into Ye Jiao's body.

For a split second, Ye Jiao noticed that she gained her body control.

However, she was still unable to fight back against the pressure that Mr. Jing gave off as Eon Energy Master Rank 4.

"I pledge my loyalty to Zhan Jing!" Ye Jiao screamed out loudly.

"You!" Mr. Jing was stunned. Before he realized it, Ye Jiao had changed the name of the person she swore loyalty.

"No! This can't be!" He quickly turned to Zhan Jing, who was also stunned. However, the man soon realized that he had gained a connection straight to the young girl in the arena. In that very moment, he realized that she had truly said that oath.

Bang!

Suddenly, waves of Eon Energy came out of Qi Huan's body, enveloping the entire arena with cool temperature. It was strange, yet at the same time, it allowed Lu Wan and Ye Jiao to break free from the pressure Mr. Jing gave them.

"NOW!" Qi Huan yelled as he summoned out his sword. His body was screaming at him because of the pressure that he gave out, but he simply didn't care. Right now, he had to fight if he didn't want to die.

Both Ye Jiao and Lu Wan sprinted from their position towards the direction of the man. Even though they felt their body hurting from the pressure before, they already felt much better.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of metal clashes filled the arena as Mr. Jing blocked their attack perfectly. His eyes were showing coldness as he waved his hand, sending them back with a wave of Eon Energy.

Before he could initiate another pressure, a blade connected with the chain arrived before him, threatening to cut him down.

Clang!

He raised his sword and blocked it. At the same time, Ye Jiao and Qi Huan had sprinted from their position and reached the man. Their weapons were swung at high speed, precisely aiming for the man's neck and stomach.

Swish! Clang!

Mr. Jing avoided Qi Huan's attack, but he blocked Ye Jiao's. His eyes narrowed when he realized that the power behind their strike was not small.

'I can see that they're truly treasures. Who would have thought that in this small place there would be someone so talented? Moreover…'

The moment he moved back, Lu Wan had attacked him again. His chain and blade moved precisely to hit him as if telling him that it was not enough to attack him just one.

Clang!

Qi Huan frowned. He twisted his arm and charged to the man again. His sword met with the Eon Energy Master's sword.

"You're not bad for someone from the emperor's lineage."

Emperor's lineage?

The moment Qi Huan heard that phrase, his eyes narrowed dangerously. He knew that if he used that technique, it would give out his identity as part of the emperor's bloodline. And the one with the water element would only be those from the Qi Family in the Four Kingdom.

He had to kill this man.

It was no longer just because of his attempt to kill them, but also because he had to hide his identity.

He didn't want to put himself at risk.

Clang!

It was at this moment Ye Jiao sneak attacked from behind. Her body moved as quickly as possibly as she tried to hide her presence, making her attack more dangerous. If he was unable to detect her, he wouldn't be able to block it in time.

Mr. Jing quickly moved back and narrowed his eyes. 'Just what is this girl?'

Even though he was standing right in front of Ye Jiao, he was unable to detect her presence at all. It was as if she could merge into the darkness completely, making him unable to find her at all.

With his ability as Eon Energy Master Rank 4, it was truly a huge failure to not be able to detect ordinary Eon Energy Master Rank 3. Besides, with his skill as an assassin, he held high pride in his ability to detect people in hiding. Now, he felt extremely annoyed as he felt as if she was holding him back.

Clang!

Swish!

"He's so quick," Lu Wan cursed out loudly.

Mr. Jing quickly evaded Lu Wan's attack. He could sense the faint smell of poison from the blade's edge. His body instinctively moved away to protect himself as he knew that it would be dangerous if he got hit with that blade.

'These children are truly remarkable…. It's truly a pity that Zhan Jing got them first.'

If only he was the one who met with them and recruited them, he knew that his rank would rise so high in the organization. These children were exceptionally talented to the point that he had to use his real power to fight them.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The series of blades clashing continued to fill the arena. Ye Jiao felt tired from fighting continuously, but she pushed her concentration to the limit. At the same time, she was trying to hide her presence as much as possible and attacked Mr. Jing from numerous directions.

'Faster and even faster.'

Even though she was still in the early stage of rank 3, Ye Jiao had good control of her Eon Energy. She made use of them to push herself to move forward even more. Her muscle screamed in pain, but she paid it no heed. She just wanted to move even faster.

'A little wound is enough.'

Her dagger was also coated in poison because of Lu Wan's insistence. She knew that it would surely help her out when she was facing someone stronger than her, so she didn't stop him.

Clang! Clang!

"This is getting nowhere," Mr. Jing clicked his tongue and moved to the side. His hand drew something midair when the three of them felt as if a web of Eon Energy appeared before them, blocking their way.

Qi Huan's pupil shrunk as he realized what it was. "EVADE IT!"

Bam! Bang!
