================??================
Arthur stared at Gregor with a bit of surprise and the slightest hint of anticipation.
'I might get to watch a good show.'
Unlike the Outer Court, Arthur had next to no information about the Core Disciples of the sect, so he has no idea about Gregor's capabilities.
'But by relying on my perception of elemental essence energy I can feel his cultivation technique is related to lightning.' Arthur thought with squinted eyes.
Meanwhile, Gregor took his silence as him being scared of his 'valiant' show of power and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha!"
"What, why aren't you saying anything?"
Gregor questioned and his aura suddenly condensed, and caused a wave of wind that blew out to the surroundings. Even the distant spectators felt it and were surprised.
Kira furrowed her brows, 'He has gotten much stronger overnight. It seems he was on the verge of a breakthrough.'
Her gaze turned to Arthur and saw that his eyes were still as calm as a lake with no ripples.
'Hmm, he still isn't perturbed huh? Let me see your real strength, Invincible.'
Aside from Kira and the Elder that was presiding over the match, no one else noticed that Arthur still showed no apprehension about Gregor's display of power. The others all took his silence as fear.
"Oh, my heavens! Gregor has reached the eighth stage of the Grand Martial Realm!"
"I'm afraid the top ten rankings are about to change!"
"This Invincible is done for now. If I were him I would immediately admit defeat rather than still trying to show off."
Gregor's grin grew wider as he heard the comments of the crowd. He especially likes being in the spotlight.
And now, with hundreds of shocked and even fawning gazes on him, he felt a sense of elevation.
"Hey, are you still not saying anything?" Gregor raised an eyebrow at Arthur who had remained silent all this time.
To his question, Arthur finally revealed a smile as his eyes narrowed, "Interesting..."
Gregor saw this and immediately got angry as he felt like Arthur was mocking him despite seeing his power.
"Idiot who doesn't know the identity of the heavens. I will show you the power of a late-stage Grand Martial Realm cultivator!"
Sparks of lightning appeared on Gregor's body and he immediately disappeared. It look like teleportation but in reality, he was just that fast.
And only a few people could see him move.
*swoosh!*
A hand sparkling with lightning instantly appears in front of Arthur's neck in a grabbing motion. But just as it was about to grab his throat Arthur moved slightly and it grabbed nothing but air, missing by a hair's breadth.
'What?!' Gregor was shocked at that but immediately thought that he was the one who made an error in judgment.
'This brat couldn't have dodged it. It must have been luck!'
Immediately he moved and appeared behind Arthur and grabbed at his head.
'This time I will definitely smash your face on the floor!'
*swoosh!*
But just like before he missed Arthur by just an inch.
'What is going on?!'
Gregor sped up and launched a series of attacks in succession, but he will always miss by an inch.
To the onlookers, Arthur appeared to be standing in one spot while a human-shaped silhouette was moving around him, looking almost like it was dancing.
This caused those with weaker strength to be confused, and wondering.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Don't ask me I have no idea...wait maybe I do...but I don't know if I should say it."
"What is it?"
"Well since you asked, I think Gregor is just showing this poser how fast he is, wanting him to despair before beating him up."
"Hmm, that does seem to be the case, otherwise I can't imagine that he is unable to do anything to Invincible."
"That's right..."
Only these disciples had no idea that Gregor was indeed unable to do anything to Arthur.
But Kira who was watching was able to see everything clearly as her eyes had a hidden glow In them. Her expression eased up when she saw the situation.
'Hmph! So you do have some abilities after all. But this still won't make up for my loss...'
The Elder who was watching from outside the ring revealed an expression of surprise.
'Has he been hiding his strength all along?' He wondered because this would be too shocking if Arthur cultivated to this level in just a few months after he entered the sect.
Gregor who saw that he was unable to touch Arthur even with his fastest speed immediately gave up and switched tactics.
He appeared in front of Arthur with a gloomy expression which changed to one of anger when he saw the smirk on his opponent's face.
"You dare mock me? You are just lucky that I had only learned the entry level of the Lightning Glide Movement Technique or else you..."
Arthur stopped listening from there.
'Come on, can we skip all this lame third-rate villain talk when fighting?'
"...now I will show you my real power!"
*Boom!*
Gregor unleashed his Martial Spirit, in a big to use his full strength to defeat Arthur.
"Eah!"
The cry of an eagle echoed in the arena and a majestic blue-feather eagle with white stripes appeared behind Gregor.
"That's the Lightning Cloud Eagle! The signature martial spirit of the Maywul noble family of Nashville Kingdom!"
"It seems we all underestimated this Invincible. His strength has actually reached the level of a Core Disciple."
"This is shocking! I don't believe he cultivated all the way from the Gold Core Realm to the Grand Martial in such a short time frame, as no one has such a talent in all the continent. Not even the legends of the past were that fast in their cultivation."
Arthur had finally released his cultivation realm aura.
