Sebastian didn't respond to their disparaging comments and simply shook his head, showing how he really felt about their comments.That small motion didn't go unnoticed by the livestream audience, and the comments started to roll in again."Jaime has such a vicious tongue! Keep those comments coming!""Sebastian does look very plain. I even thought he was some farmer who had mistakenly walked onto stage!""Could he be part of an elaborate prank by the organizers to create some buzz for the competition?""So this is the Good Crestborne Doctor competition? What a joke! I can't believe they would let someone like him on stage. Since he can be on stage, does that mean my vet neighbor can also be a contestant?"In the arena, the host explained the flow of the first round of the competition and what was to be expected from the contestants.The competition and its rules were simple. It was a medicine formulation competition. The contestants had to formulate medicine based on the pres
One of the mentors had turned off their light for him, which was the equivalent of the mentor not allowing him to move on to the next round!The director group, the onsite audience, and the livestream audience were stunned."OMG! One of the lights has already been turned off? That's too quick!""Serves him right! That idiot wanted to get attention, but I bet he didn't expect to offend one of the mentors!""I can't believe he went on stage with a plastic bag, what a joke!""Is this a comedy program? Is this contestant a comedian? I can't believe he actually went on stage like that. Does he want to get disqualified?"The discussion within the livestream audience was heated.Whitney had also buried her face in her hands when she saw Sebastian walk on stage with the plastic bag, overcome by embarrassment."Winnie, look! That idiot Sebastian really is shameless! Thank God the both of you are divorced or you would be made fun of as well!" Crystal snickered."How hilarious! Does he r
While the netizens were making fun of him, Sebastian had already taken his furnace out and headed to the medicine formulation area.He glanced at the herbs prepared before picking out the ones that he needed. His movements and actions were languid and not at all like a contestant in a competition.Once he had picked out all the herbs he needed, he began formulating his medicine.At the same time, Theon had already lost his patience and hit his button, extinguishing his light.The crowd was in an uproar at that.Those were two lights that have now been extinguished!If one more mentor extinguished their light, Sebastian would not be able to advance to the next stage.Fergus was grinning from ear to ear at the VIP section, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Winnie, look! That's another light that has gone off! I can't believe he's treating this competition like a game! You'll only be laughed at by keeping people like him in your life!""He's right! Winnie, I don't want to sound naggy b
Sebastian had also heard the host's question, and he froze momentarily before quickly regaining his composure.Whitney hesitated and took a deep breath before she replied coldly, "As his ex-wife, I hope that he'll be qualified for the next round but as an audience member, I don't think he will."The audience chattered excitedly at her answer, and the livestream audience also started spamming the comments."I also think the same!""Even his ex-wife doesn't believe in him! Where did he get the balls to compete?""I bet that he's going to be disqualified!"At the same time, in the rest area, Henrietta frowned as she watched Sebastian. The manner in which he was formulating the medicine was nothing like she had ever seen before."Does he really know how to formulate medicine?" Henrietta wondered to herself.Inside the hall, in the VIP section, Timothy watched Sebastian with a frown. After that, he turned to Zeke to ask, "Mr. Fisher, are you sure he's a genius?"Zeke looked a bit e
Sebastian was nothing but a liar!In the end, Whitney looked away from Sebastian and gave Rosalie a sidelong glance. Her gaze didn't go unnoticed by Rosalie, who locked eyes with her and smiled.Just then, the camera panned to Rosalie, causing the crowd to be whipped into a frenzy again."OMG! Another goddess!""Ms. Griffin's beauty is out of this world!""But… why do I feel like there's something suspicious about her gaze toward Sebastian?The host asked with a smile, "Ms. Griffin, I heard that Sebastian is your friend. Do you think he has a chance to be qualified for the next round?"Rosalie smiled before she turned her attention to Sebastian and to the final light that was still on. "Even if all the lights have been extinguished, I still believe that he can qualify for the next round!" she declared.After that, Rosalie raised her chin haughtily at Whitney.Whitney scowled, and the both of them locked eyes, neither of them willing to back down.The audience descended into
The crowd went wild at that.All four lights had been extinguished. What more was there to see?The four mentors also frowned before they started discussing amongst themselves.Crystal mocked, "Why hasn't that idiot given up yet? He's just embarrassing himself by staying on stage.""Mrs. Suttpm, it's better for us if he's humiliated!" Mabel exclaimed.Crystal nodded at that with a smirk.Whitney couldn't bear to watch on anymore, so she got up and rushed to the side of the hall.She then picked up the microphone and yelled, "Sebastian! That's enough! How much longer do you plan to make a fool of yourself?" She continued angrily, "Don't you find it embarrassing? Why can't you just admit that you can't do it?"Sebastian frowned and locked eyes with Whitney before he asked, "You think I'm making a fool of myself?""Are you not?" she challenged. "All four lights are extinguished! Is this how you plan on proving yourself to me? You're nothing more than an attention-seeking clown!
After that, Whitney took a seat with a huff.Rosalie smiled and turned to the four mentors before she said, "As the main organizer of this program and competition, I humbly ask that the four mentors respect each and every contestant."Since Sebastian managed to formulate a pill, could the four mentors please judge it?" she asked.The four mentors exchanged a look before eventually nodding."Alright, we will respect every contestant," Eddard said. "However, Ms. Griffin, we will be judging him more strictly than the rest. So, if he gets a low mark, I hope you understand."Rosalie tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with a smile. "I believe in him."After that, she walked off the stage while the four mentors walked on stage to judge the pill."Mr. Cosgrove, do you want to go first?" Roberto asked with a smile.Eddard frowned but replied, "Alright, I'll go first."After that, he examined the pill before sniffing it. His distasteful expression slowly shifted as he sniffed it and
After a moment of silence, the audience gave a loud round of applause. Everyone stood up from their seats and clapped for Sebastian as they cheered loudly.Whitney and the others, who were in the VIP seats, were puzzled."This is impossible! How could this be? This is only the first competition! How did Sebastian get the Golden Buzzer from the judge?" Fergus shouted in disbelief.Crystal chimed in and said, "There must be something fishy going on! I think Ms. Griffin somehow bribed the four judges!""That must be it! Sebastian is such a useless piece of shit! He was eliminated but after Ms. Griffin went on stage, the four judges pressed the Golden Buzzer… There must be something wrong!" Mabel was shouting anxiously as well. She even rushed straight to the production crew and grabbed the microphone. "Something fishy is going on! I suspect there is bias in this competition. "The lights were extinguished, and he was about to be eliminated, so why did he suddenly get the Golden Buz
Dmitri had barely sat upright when he spat out a huge mouthful of blood.Sebastian's punch had contained a trace of the power of the Thunder God. Not only had it broken Dmitri's arm, but his internal organs had also suffered severe damage. A piercing pain came from Dmitri's chest. It hurt so much that he let out a frightening roar of rage. Right after that, he fainted.Sebastian clasped his hands behind his back and strode toward Dmitri. Without hesitation, he raised his foot and pressed it lightly on Dmitri's chest before exerting force slightly through his toes.The left side of Dmitri's chest caved in at once."No!" A Karnian Warrior, one of Dmitri's companions, shot to his feet in the stands. "This is murder!" he yelled at Sebastian. "My companion has already lost the ability to fight. You have no right to kill him!"Sebastian turned to look at the man and said calmly, "We agreed to fight to the death before we started the match. Are you deaf?"The Karnian Warrior's ches
When the third punch landed, Dmitri spat out a mouthful of blood.Was he actually coughing up blood? As the blood sprayed out of his mouth, a searing pain shot through his body. His organs felt like they were twisting inside him. Dmitri swayed on his feet and fell to his knees with a thud, clutching his stomach. "Tough as nails?" Sebastian sneered before punching him in the face again. Two front teeth flew out of Dmitri's mouth. Sebastian punched him again and sent another two teeth flying. Blood trickled from the corner of Dmitri's mouth. That was when he realized that his brute strength was useless against Sebastian. Every punch that landed gave him internal injuries of varying degrees. Sebastian hadn't even used his Indigo Thunder God tactic. He was only concentrating his vital energy into his fists. If he had used the mystic spells in the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, Dmitri would have been crushed in just a single blow.Sebastian wasn't using the mystic sp
Realizing he couldn't crush Sebastian at all, Dmitri abandoned his original plan and used both arms to pick Sebastian up. He then made a move to throw him down on the cement floor of the arena."Ahh!" Whitney cried out in shock. She looked instinctively away, too afraid to keep watching."Oh my goodness!""Things don't look good for Mr. Ballard!""He had a chance to escape! Why didn't he run?"The Dramonian audience murmured regretfully at the sight of Sebastian being lifted up to be thrown down upon the cement floor.Even Phineas closed his eyes in the stands. Once Sebastian was flung down, his bones were sure to break.But just as Sebastian was about to hit the arena floor, he suddenly stuck out his foot and kicked Dmitri's left cheek. Any normal person would have tried to dodge the attack, but Dmitri was different. He had been training since he was a child. Though he wasn't invincible, every inch of his flesh was so tough that an ordinary punch couldn't injure him. He didn'
The Dramonian audience cheered for Sebastian. At that moment, a large, burly man with fair skin from Karna stood up and declared, "I would like to fight you."His name was Dmitri Loffman, a three-time kickboxing champion in Karna. As Dmitri stepped into the arena, everyone realized that he was eight feet tall. Sebastian looked like a child in front of him. His waist was only as thick as one of Dmitri's arms, and the kickboxer's thighs were so thick that they looked like steel pillars.Sebastian looked up at him and asked, "You want to challenge me?"Dmitri grinned viciously as he eyed Sebastian. "Challenge you? No, no. I can kill you with just one punch!"He waved his fist, which was the size of a bowling bowl."Punch me to death? Alright, come here." Sebastian smirked and motioned him to come closer. "Today, I'm going to show you that the martial arts of Dramon cannot withstand absolute strength!" With that, Dmitri walked toward Sebastian, each step heavy and deliberate.
"What the heck?" someone in the audience shouted. "Did the foreign fighters come here to fool around?""Is he training his crotch? How can anyone endure falling like that?" another one chimed in. "He keeps landing on his crotch too.""If he doesn't have the skills for it, he shouldn't embarrass himself like that. Look at what's happened to his poor balls," an elderly man in the audience muttered, shaking his head.Dario's expression was now identical to that of Jules. He knew that he hadn't been mistaken about the force exerted on him a moment ago. It was a supernatural power. He could manipulate that force as well. He just wasn't as powerful as Sebastian."Who are you?" Dario looked at Sebastian in shock. "I'm a Dramonian. You Yutarians should apologize to Dramon for what happened 100 years ago!" Sebastian's voice grew colder. Before Dario could recover, a gigantic force crashed down on his back from the sky.Just like Jules had, Dario's forehead slammed into the ground wit
Just as Dario's palm was about to touch Sebastian's hair, the latter suddenly turned. A series of afterimages trailed behind him.Dario had already started celebrating inwardly, certain he had landed a hit. However, the moment his hand came down, he realized he had struck nothing but air. By the time he registered the shadows in front of him, it was already too late. Sebastian was already behind him.With a casual push to his back, Sebastian sent him flying. Dario shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. Unfortunately, a wooden pillar stood about 20 feet in front of him. A loud crash echoed through the venue as Dario slammed into the pillar at an awkward angle. "Aargh! Damn it!"Dario had no idea what had happened. He had been flying forward headfirst, but just before the impact, he'd done a sudden forward roll.His crotch had hit the wooden pillar first.And of all the pillars surrounding the area, this was the only hexagonal one. The rest were round. Dario had crash
Even the audience grew uneasy as they watched the spectacle. "Holy shit! Will he only stop when he bashes his head in?""What's going on? Is he letting his anger build up?""Why would he need to do that? He's about to crack his skull open!"Amidst the chatter, some members of the audience realized that a white liquid was trickling out of Jules' nose and ears as he continued prostrating.His cerebrospinal fluid was leaking out. It was proof that his skull really had been cracked open.By this point, Jules had already lost consciousness. However, his body kept repeating the same motion. With a final thump, he fell heavily on the arena floor.The audience let out a collective gasp. Jules was probably the first person to prostrate himself to death. And he was supposed to be the top expert in Southia!"Did… did he really die?""How could he not be dead? His brain plasma is leaking out!""He was so determined too. What a shame."The audience murmured among themselves, exchangin
"Why are you glaring at me? Was I the one who made you fall and end up like that?" The young man glared back at Jules. Jules burned with rage as he struggled to his feet.He had taken a hard fall this time. The arena was raised and was about three feet from the ground. He had jumped up to a height of six feet. In total, he had plummeted from nearly ten feet. Not only did he scrape his face, but he had also almost fractured his pelvis. When he stood up, he had to limp. There was no way he could kick anyone now."Can you keep fighting, Mr. Laurent?" a Southian official asked in concern as he hurried up to him. They couldn't afford to let Jules be defeated or killed! He was an important figure in karate. If he died, Southia's martial arts community would be doomed.When Jules opened his mouth, all the blood and the gaps in his teeth made his words completely incomprehensible. The Southia official couldn't understand him at all despite listening intently."Jules, if you're afraid
Sebastian smiled slightly. In the blink of an eye, he slipped under Jules and thrust his hands upward. Jules folded up and did a forward roll before crashing headfirst onto the cement floor of the arena. A loud crash echoed through the venue. His forehead had hit the ground hard, and blood splattered everywhere."Oh damn! What kind of technique is that? He's taking himself out in the arena!""Maybe that's the essence of karate.""Uh, yeah. You're right. He's so ruthless with himself that any opponent would be terrified."The Southian officials in the stands looked furious, their eyes burning with anger. Before coming, Jules had boasted to the media that he would kill Sebastian with a single kick.How many kicks had he tried? Sebastian was completely unharmed, while Jules had already lost his front teeth! Now, his forehead was bleeding!The Southian audience fell silent. This wasn't the expert they remembered."Sebastian, I'm going to chop you into a million pieces!" Jules wa
