Asura Conqueror

Nexus scrunched his brows as he listened to the story. Eva's heart felt heavy as she heard everything her little sister experienced in Estra. Her eyes already turned misty.

Emily had her head tilted downwards as she was talked. She didn't want her sister to see the sad expression on her face that's mixed with anger. Her short stay here in Estra has been one of the worst times of her life.

Emily continued with her story. It took about a few minutes before she finished.

"Then grow stronger," Nexus spoke.

Emily looked at him.

Nexus continued "Grow stronger and no one will disrespect you."

Emily dryly chuckled "It's not that easy."

"Correction, it wasn't that easy. It's different now." Nexus threw a single mana stone on the table.

Emily curiously looked at it. She could feel the mana stored inside, large amounts of mana. Her hand moved to touch the stone. As it reached closer, she could feel the mana rushing towards her body?

Her eyes went wide "This? This is?"

"It's called a mana stone. I'm not sure if you humans have it. This stone makes cultivating a lot easier. You just need to be near it." Nexus explained.

He continued "Don't say thanks or anything of the sort. Just train, breakthrough, and you'll understand."

Emily stared at the stone for a while and then she looked at her sister.

Eva smiled and nodded at her.

Emily took the stone and placed it on her new spatial ring which Nexus and Eva gave her in the car when they were on their way here. It was precisely the Destrucstone spatial ring.

Eva was astonished at how Nexus nonchalantly decided to hand her sister the Destrucstone spatial ring. That was not a normal spatial ring. That ring worked similar to a portal that could send you directly inside the stone!

Her astonishment only lasted for a few seconds before it turned into genuine happiness. Her sister now doesn't need to carry cumbersome objects. But they haven't told her about the space inside the tone though.

"About that 'colleague' of yours that attacked you, what's his name?" Eva asked. She wanted to know who the bastard was. She might not be able to do anything now, but with the speed of cultivation now, she won't even need years.

Emily thought for a while before she answered "His name is Ohario. He's also a new teacher like me but he's from Estra and his family has a bit of influence."

Eva nodded a couple of times. Nexus went back to the couch after hearing that.

9:00 pm

Marcus got out of his car and walked towards a building that's only 3 stories. This building, although it only has two floors, is spacious. There were 3 entrances close to each other, and there was a sign that said 'Brawlrena'.

Marcus read about this online. This place is somewhat like a gym, but aside from training, it also has a ranking board where people could challenge each other.

By the end of the month, the top people who were ranked in the top 10 would be in the news. Ranking boards for Elites and Commanders are also different to make sure the competition would be fair.

You can challenge anyone at any time as long as they and the ring are available. Fights are only valid if you are fighting in one of the official rings of Brawlrena, which was located on the third floor.

Marcus walked inside. He stepped on the gray floor and looked around. To his left were two rings that were rectangular in shape. They had an area of about 800 square meters and were elevated by about 2 meters.

To his right were people training with a dummy or with other human beings. There were only a few people left, but these people were really hard on training.

Marcus walked towards the side where the receptionist was. He greeted him and asked, "How do I participate in the leaderboards?"

Marcus wanted to come earlier but he had to settle a few things.

Before Marcus arrived here, he first went to the Minsers to finalize a few deals and told Loo about him investing in a company and not a nightclub. He also asked Loo to collaborate with Leo with the two buildings beside the boulevard and to meet with Nexus and Eva there tomorrow.

He also got a text from Nexus telling him about their fifth board member. Nexus sent Marcus her picture and showed it to Loo.

Marcus told Loo to find her and tell her to contact Nexus's number. Marcus could not understand why Nexus would send her to the boulevard and wait for the place to open up.

Nexus was of course in a hurry which was why he didn't really think about it when he left that note to Maya.

Marcus didn't care who they'd find as a fifth member of the board as he could easily replace them if he had any problems. After all, accidents happen all the time.

Lastly, Marcus called Zoey and told her about the few changes.

Marcus arrived in front of the employee who also greeted him "Good evening sir, if you want to participate you have to register first."

Marcus nodded and asked a few questions about how everything here works.

The employee carefully explained "This is Brawrena and it functions as a place where people could train and also where people could fight for fame.

You might think that those two rings are for the ranking match but they are only used for casual sparring. The ones for the ranking are on the 3rd floor. The 2nd floor is pretty much the same as the first floor.

The rings are first come first serve and only one match per person unless they are challenged by someone new. Reservations for the rings are also valid, but for a certain price.

The area of this building is around 1 hectare so you could imagine how many people are training here in a day.

If you are training on the side, you don't have to worry about stray spells since all the rings have barriers around them. Killing is absolutely prohibited inside the arena and if your opponents give up, you should immediately stop attacking." The employee finished.

"Thank you, but please hurry and make me eligible for ranking matches." Marcus is already itching for a fight.

The employee nodded and asked Nexus to stand in front of a camera. He also asked for his name and confirmed his rank.

Marcus answered truthfully. As for his rank, he doesn't have to hide it anymore.

The employee was shocked. He guessed that this kid isn't even 22 yet.

'This must be one of the geniuses.' He thought.

The process finished without a hitch. Marcus paid a certain amount that would make him come here without needing to pay any fees for one year.

Marcus checked the website where the rankings were shown and saw his picture, name, cultivation stage, and leaderboard rank which was currently marked as 'Unranked'.

"There are still a few matches going on up on the third floor if you're interested in watching." The employee said.

Marcus nodded and hurriedly walked towards an elevator nearby.

He hoped that there's another person up there who could fight with him. Although this could not be considered real tempering, he could still fight with geniuses in this country.
