’What just happened?’ Angelo thought with a dumbfounded look on her face while she stares at the platform she just came down from. Not only her, but majority of the people at the spectators area are now focused on the same platform with a dumbfounded look on their faces.
’How can he be so strong?’ Ling Hai thought with a look of disbelief on his face. As for his father, after being stunned speechless for a moment, he immediately asked Ling Fei.
"Ling Fei, where exactly did you find this fine young man?"
"Well father I just met him at his restaurant in a remote city in America. He actually helped me settle a minor issue during that time so I planned on paying him back which know led us here" Ling Fei explained with a shocked look on her face.
Honestly, even Ling Fei is surprised to how strong Hutton is. She thought that he might be a master ranked fighter without an internal force but now she just find out that she is so wrong.
"Well then you better deepen your friendship with him. He has a lot of potential for his age" Ling Fei’s father said with a deep look on his face.
Back on the platform 3, There is only a young lady standing on it with a frightened look on her face. But before she could get herself back together, Hutton suddenly reappeared right in front of her with his right hand resting on her left shoulder.
"Although I hit a number of girls back there, I don’t normally hit girls so I will suggest for you to just give up" Hutton eventually said with an indifferent look on his face.
When the young lady heard him, her face immediately brightened as she replied hurriedly in fear that he might change his mind.
"Ok"
Right after that, she immediately ran off the platform and stood right next to Angelo which made Hutton the only person on platform 3.
’I have finally passed the first stage of this damn event’ Hutton thought as he hoofed in a deep breath while confirming that he is alone on the platform.
Although Hutton might not show it, but the move he used to knock almost everyone out of the platform weighed on him a lot. That move is apparently a secret technique he acquired while trying to fully comprehend the forbidden arts: drifting shadows he got from Bob.
This technique allows him to amplify the speed he uses when performing the drifting shadows by a 100 for only a minute. The name of this technique is called ’Lightning Bolt’.
If not for his mind which is made of steel that he got from his previous life and his body which he has tempered to how it was during his past life, he would have never been able to perform this secret technique no matter how hard or long he tried.
’Let’s see how the other platforms are doing?’ Hutton thought as he looked towards the other platforms.
Right now along with the platform Hutton is on, there are three platforms which have already gotten their last man standing. As for the others, they are still duking it amongst themselves.
"Hey, do you know who that outcast is?"
"No clue, the only thing I know is that he was with the second young mistress when they got into the event"
"He was with the second young mistress!?"
"Shh! Don’t make so much noise here lest you want to be punished. But am not mistaken when I saw him with the second young mistress coming into the event area"

"Damn.... I wonder what kind of background he has for him to walk with the second mistress into the event area"
While Hutton was observing the fights happening at the other platforms, his ears suddenly picked up the whispers going on amongst the people in the spectators area.
’If I can perfectly hear what you guys are saying, then do you think your family wouldn’t be able to?’ Hutton thought with a weird expression on his face.
"Hey there! Can I have the honor of knowing your name?" While Hutton was marveling at how ignorant the people at the spectators area are, he suddenly heard a deep and dignified voice from a fair distance away which his instincts tells him that the voice is directed at him.
When he looked towards where that voice came from, all he could see was an elegant looking young man with a glowing red hair which shockingly went down all the way to his waist. He wore a simple red colored Changsang as his two hands are held together behind him.
’Why is Ling Jun asking for my name?’ Hutton thought as confusion welled up within him. But he still remained calm and courteous outwardly as he replied in a calm tone.
"Am Hutton, amd you must be Ling Jun right?"
When the red haired young man heard Hutton, he was momentarily stunned before he did a light chuckle as he said.
"Oh my, I never knew someone that is out of this country will actually know me. This is truly the great day for me"
"Well actually I figured you out based on the conversations I hear at the spectators area" Hutton said with a light smile now on his face.
When Ling Jun heard him this time, he quickly burst out laughing for some moments before he said with a friendly smile now on his face.
"You are an interesting young man Mr. Hutton. If you have the chance, why don’t we meet again after the event"
"Then it will be my honor Mr. Ling Jun but you will need someone to guide me to the place we are meeting since I don’t know anywhere or one in this place" Hutton replied with a friendly smile also on his face.
"Oh you don’t have to worry about that, all you have to do is to tell my younger sister to direct you to my resident and everything will go smoothly" Ling Jun then said while he did a light chuckle.
’Younger sister?’ Hutton thought with a surprised look on his face. But just then, a thought popped into his mind which made him to shift his gaze towards the top section of the spectators area.
When he saw Ling Fei giving Ling Jun a cold glare, he immediately understood with a wry smile on his face while said.
"Sure thing Mr. Ling Jun"
"That’s great then!" Not minding the cold glare Ling Fei is giving him, Ling Jun exclaimed with a wonderful expression on his face. But while all these were going on, Ling Jian who hasn’t moved from the spot he was in when he entered the platform suddenly opened his eyes as he placed it on Hutton while he thought just one word.
’Hutton’
Apparently, why he hasn’t moved from the spot he was in when he got into the platform even when he is the last man standing is because all the other competitors on the same platform willingly gave up with dejected looks on their faces.
While Hutton, Ling Jian and Ling Jun were having various thoughts going through their minds, the other platforms finally have their last man standing.
At this moment, the man with the cunning looks suddenly reappeared right in front of all the 8 platforms. And after reappearing, he immediately spoke up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our representatives who will go and compete at the provincial level Clash of Dojos event for us has finally been revealed"
As soon as he said that, the people at the spectators area began to cheer loudly and joyously.
"I will now call out the names of our 8 mighty representative of the Ling family" the man with the cunning looks said as he put his gaze towards platform 1
"Ling Jian, Ling Cao, Hutton, Ling Dong, Ling Jun, Ling Hao Jian, Ling Po Jun, Ling Huang"
"These are all the names of the 8 representatives of the great Ling family and this brings us to the end of the first stage of the event so goodbye to you all" the man with the cunning looks continued before he suddenly vanished out of that area entirely while the people at the spectators area were still cheering on very passionately.
’I think my work here is done’ Hutton thought as he unhurriedly walked down his platform and began to leave that area calmly.
"Where do you think you are going?" But before he could leave that area, he suddenly heard Ling Fei’s voice from a fair distance away which made him to stop.
"Am going to get some rest" Hutton answered calmly before he resumed on his walk out of that area.
"Wait! My dad wants to meet you!" Ling Fei yelled with a frustrated a look on her face when she saw Hutton still walking away from the event area.
’He wants to see me?’ Hutton thought with a confused look on his face. But eventually, he took a deep breath as he finally turned and began to walk towards Ling Fei as he said.
"Well I don’t have any choice but to see him do I?"
