Two days passed by, and it was time for the trial.

After Illias and others decided their challenge, they informed the authority and authority informed Athan and others about the challenge.

A temporary giant stadium was built there by authorities for 1v1 battles.

At this time, a lot of the public was gathered to watch this challenge. Everyone had their own thoughts, but the majority felt that Athan and others wouldn't win.

However, some clung to the fact that Athan would show another miraculous spectacle and win this trial.

Nobody knew what name Athan and others decided for their faction since it can only be announced after they win the trial and successfully kick out the Star-breaker hill faction from this place and establish themselves there.

Illias and others had decided to hold thirteen 1v1 battles, taking full advantage by letting all people of Athan's group fight one battle.

To win, Athan and others must win seven battles.

Illias and others had already entered the stadium and were waiting for Athan and his group to arrive.

The public was eagerly waiting for this event to start as well.

...

After five minutes, Athan and others arrived and entered the stadium as the public turned wild.

The stadium's battleground was a five hundred meters radius big, and that's considered very big.

Authorities positioned cloudly screens in the sky in various places so that others could see the 1v1 battles.

After Athan and others entered, the thirteen members of both sides stood in front of each other with a middle-aged man in the middle.

"Ahem, both sides know the rules, but I'll repeat them for our audience. The first rule, the 1v1 battles will be decided by a randomized device that will display a number from one to thirteen on two screens there," The middle-aged man pointed at two screens in the sky.

"The black screen represents Star-Breaker hill faction while the white screen represents the challengers. We have already decided your number, and here are those number tokens," The middle-aged man waved his hand as twenty-six tokens appeared from his storage before flying towards a person each.

Sen-1

Tealery-2

Tiana-3

Theo-4

Eldest-5

Second brother-6

Avelia-7

Linci-8

Athan-9

Third brother-10

Arcued-11

Fourth brother-12

Shiromi-13

After distributing the tokens, the middle-aged man continued, " Each person can only fight one battle. Now the second rule, Both sides can only use two voidling-zoids, one chaotic spirit, and one armor, and one weapon. No more than that."

"Third rule, This is not a deathmatch, so no killing intent allowed. If you display it, it will be sensed immediately. However, you can fight with your full strength with the spirit of winning. If something goes wrong, we have Evagon-realm powerhouses in a watch, and they will stop the battle before any fatality occurs."

"Last rule, if you think you can't win and don't want to continue fighting, you can give up. Upon giving up, you will immediately get protection from an Evagon-realm powerhouse."

After stating the rule, The middle-aged man told both sides to leave the battleground and go into their respective areas in the stadium.

The first battle will start in five minutes as a giant screen with a countdown appears in the sky.

Athan and others were sitting on couches at the white area outside of the five hundred meters battleground zone.

"Athan, you told us that we will win as long as we did our best, but...they have five zen order grandmaster in their group, so we will most likely lose those five battles," Tealery spoke with worry.

Athan nodded his head with a faint smile, "Beside me, Tiana, Avelia, and Linci, others would definitely lose against those Zen order grandmasters."

Theo, Sen, Shiromi, and others smiled weakly.

Athan looked at them and grinned, "But you should not underestimate yourselves. The current you are definitely more powerful than any other zen order elite here. Moreover, you possess the power to beat Zen order masters despite being one stage lower than them."

"You told us that, big brother but...are we really that strong?" The third brother of Nimperes asked with doubt.

"You are." Athan nodded with a grin, "You all haven't had time to test your soul power, but you should know that it became way more powerful than before, right?"

"That's right. Things that took me days to comprehend can be done in hours now. But we haven't tested the power of our soul energies," Theo spoke while nodding.

Sen nodded, "We have also made much progress in just a day in developing our innate physique's powers."

"Yep. Don't forget that the physiques you acquired are the best of the best that one can get. All those physiques are from upper-Chaosverse's chaotic powers because Efyeed is from upper-Chaosverse, and Efyeed guided you to acquire the best ones within its access."

Athan stood up and looked at everyone before saying with a confident smile, "You all haven't had a battle against people of Zen order elites or Zen order masters; that's why you don't know your true strength. Anyway, the key to winning your battles is your soul, and your soul order techniques must have become more powerful due to your upgraded soul."

"I wonder how strong our soul power has become? We should have tested them," Sen spoke with a daze.

Athan grinned and said, "According to me, the soul strength you are currently exuding is of the same level as those zen order grandmasters. So fight with confidence but also with absolute focus. Don't wait for the opponent's attack, and think about how to suppress them with your attacks and other abilities."

After saying that, Athan turned around and looked at the countdown screen that was reaching 0 in ten seconds.

Sen, Shiromi, and others had become serious but also excited for the upcoming battles.

"As a final say, don't think about winning or losing. Just do your best," Athan spoke without turning back, "We can always try a second time if we lose."

But hearing the last part of the sentence spoken by Athan, Sen and others felt something stinging their heart. They had a strange feeling inside them that they couldn't describe. However, their thirst to win suddenly increased because of that sentence. They didn't want to lose!

The countdown reached 0 before a loud horn sound reverberated everywhere.

"The first battle is between...." A loud voice sounded as the black and white screen rapidly displayed random numbers before finally showing a number on each screen.

The black screen displayed [ 4 ] while the white screen displayed [ 12 ].
