LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 162: Vast Difference
"We'll meet again and battle to our hearts' content. For now..." Oscar chuckled as his body dissolved into water, disappearing without a trace.
Dive and the old man from the Royal Academy were speechless, watching Oscar escape to save his life. They felt helpless. The battle wasn't even at its peak, and at the critical moment, Oscar decided to give up.
They both looked at Tera, who had a smile on his face. On top of everything, they had lost the bet woefully, along with the Heaven-grade treasures.
Even though Oscar wasn't truly defeated, from the battle, it was evident that he had been suppressed. Moreover, he was the one who ran away, not Draco.
"Like I said, I'll thank you guys for your gift. I'll make sure to put it to good use," Tera smiled. Dive and the old man forced smiles as they handed over the herbs they had placed as their bet.
Tera chuckled as he collected the treasures with a pleased expression. The others present watched the scene with faint smiles.
Alya, Clara, and Jane smiled, seeing this. They were aware of Draco's strength and knew he hadn't used his full power. As for Oscar, they weren't certain, but they were confident that he wouldn't be able to defeat Draco.
"Simeon is truly doing well," Williams chuckled. The others present nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, the seniors who had already been eliminated were surprised by Draco's strength. They hadn't realized he possessed such skills and was this powerful.
They could also sense that Draco hadn't used his full strength, which shocked them further. They had underestimated their junior.
The crowd was equally stunned. They had been anticipating a peak battle, but it seemed that wouldn't happen. The academy students were holding back their full strength, saving it as a trump card.
It appeared unlikely that there would be an opportunity to witness a peak battle, though many speculated about what would happen if Draco and Damien faced each other. Most wondered if a peak battle would finally take place.
Many also noticed the seething rage Damien displayed as he searched for Draco in the small world.
Draco, meanwhile, was still thinking about Xylara's words. From her explanation, it seemed each elemental god had their own escape technique. This revelation intrigued him.
"Light Escape Skill," Draco muttered with a chuckle. He smiled, eager to meet the Light God's heir. He recalled that Alex was the one who led the crusade against the Demon Domain.
"If I meet the heir, I'll make sure to give him a good beating," Draco smirked.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Many academy students had been eliminated, but the selection was far from over.

Well, this one day hadn't been wasted. Draco had been hunting for points, also leveling up once, which made him wander deep in thought.
Will my leveling up be as fast as before? When will I meet a true opponent I can fight against?
Draco sighed. He hadn't encountered many students that day, and even when he did, they ran from him as if he were a plague.
It seemed his battle with Oscar had spread far and wide. Those who knew they were weaker than him didn't bother provoking him. As for those confident in their strength, they lay low. One had to be smart in this competition.
Draco looked at his status. He had comprehended all his intents into domains. As for new intents, Draco wasn't eager to comprehend any.
It's better to plunder than to stress oneself. There's joy in reaping the rewards of someone else's hard work without participating in it.
As he thought about this, he remembered a skill he hadn't used at all—not even once.
Plunder Hand (Lvl 2): Can snatch four random objects from any system space. Cooldown: 24 hours. [0/10,000]
It was a defying skill that could pierce through any system inventory or space. This would surely play a role in the contest. The only thing that vexed him slightly was the cooldown.
But considering its uses, it was still a broken skill despite the cooldown.
Draco continued his journey, walking slowly toward the center of the small world.
"Buddy, sup!" a voice rang out as Draco killed a Level 41 Volkoid. He turned and saw Blum, which made him smile.
He hadn't expected the first person he'd encounter to be Blum, the shameless thunder young man.
"I saw you went to Mercenary City and brought back two peak beauties," Blum continued. Draco didn't bother replying as he dissected the Volkoid meat, which was a boar, and began cooking.
"Come on, teach me how to hunt for ladies—make all beauties fall for me! Take this poor soul as your student!" Blum said with a devoted yet shameless expression, disturbing Draco relentlessly.

Draco was speechless at Blum's shamelessness. With a wave of his finger, nine-colored lightning sprung out, shocking Blum and paralyzing him.
The crowd outside couldn't catch what it was, though they knew it was nine-colored lightning. It was simply too fast.
If they had seen it clearly, some might have remembered the scene of the tribulation and suspected Draco as the one who had passed through it.
Blum, paralyzed and stupefied, could only watch as Draco sent the lightning toward him. As the Lightning God's heir, all lightning was like a delicacy to him.
But Draco's lightning was shocking. There was a strange might within it that prevented him from devouring it. He recognized this might, having seen and experienced it before.
"Origin Heaven Might," both Thundero and Blum said in shock. They were astounded by how the Heaven Might in the nine-colored lightning surpassed what they had seen before—more than twice as powerful.
"It seems his tribulation was stronger than yours. As expected of the plunderer—the one who breaks all the rules," Thundero chuckled.
Blum sighed. Here he was, thinking he was catching up to Draco's strength, but the vast difference was still there.
