The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Lionel smiled as well. "Is this fate? Brook's descendant got paired with Felix, of all people.' Mira also couldn't hold back a chuckle. "Perhaps. After all, Felix truly has luck with the ladies."

If Gerald learned that Felix was battling Brook's descendant, his reaction would surely be a sight to behold.

At long last, Aiden and Ronan stood on the stone stage. The latter was shooting the former a sharp look. "Show me all you've got!"

After what happened at the party, Ronan knew full well about the bad blood between Aiden and Felix. Now that Aiden was his opponent, he wasn't about to pull back any punches. He might not be able to defeat Aiden, but the least he could do was inflict some injuries.

"As you wish," Aiden responded with perfect calmness, as if victory was already within his grasp. Ronan's body trembled as the bell tolled. His skin was cloaked in a blood-red aura that pulsated maddeningly. No one knew what was going on with him.

Milo was allowed to spectate the battle and immediately frowned when he saw it. "What's going on here? Why did Ronan empower himself with Bloodtinge at the start of the duel? Just how serious is he? Isn't Lone Paragon not that tempting for him?"

Felix shared Milo's thoughts. He might not have seen it before, but he could roughly sense something. As a matter of fact, Ronan did increase his fighting prowess with Bloodtinge. He was now three times more powerful than his usual self. Although it only lasted ten minutes, it was enough to make jaws drop. Ronan's eyes turned completely red. As he stared at Aiden, he parted his lips and let out a guttural roar. Everyone on the scene was stunned. If they hadn't seen Ronan with their own eyes, they would have thought an actual tiger was loose on the hillside. His roar was so deafening that no words could describe it.

At the next moment, Ronan sprang into action. He pounced at Aiden like a starving tiger.
