Chapter 176: Nellie Loses, the Dangerous Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament

Inside Demon’s Domain, Nellie’s face was pale. Her Radiant Thorns Armor was badly damaged and no longer protected her.

Her health had dropped to about 30%, and if she kept fighting, she’d be dead in just a few seconds.

"No way... Aiden’s skills are way too strong," she thought.

"How could he push me this far?"

"Is it because of that Legendary Rank staff he’s holding?"

Her mind raced with thoughts, but she never thought about giving up.

As a genius of the Wycliffe Family, she represented her family. Giving up would hurt their reputation.

And if she lost, she might be laughed at by other geniuses after the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament.

Thinking about that, Nellie’s eyes flashed with determination. She clenched her teeth, and her Radiant Thorns Armor started to glow with a red light.

She still had a secret move left. Even if it had big side effects, it could turn the battle around.

But just then, Gareth rushed into the training area and stood in front of Nellie.

He was now in the range of Thunder’s Wrath and Demon’s Domain.

As a Level 94 Reclasser, Gareth didn’t take Aiden’s attacks seriously.

But when a strong lightning bolt hit him, his face suddenly showed shock.

"Aiden’s skills can do true damage? That’s why Nellie’s health dropped so fast!"

In his eyes, strange and complicated patterns appeared as he looked at the lightning and dark energy.

In the next moment, a powerful energy came from his eyes. In just a blink, the wild lightning turned into thousands of petal-like fragments.

And the dark energy from Demon’s Domain quickly disappeared.

"Did it disappear?" Aiden stared in shock.

He instinctively checked the energy he had released. It wasn’t gone—it just couldn’t hit Gareth or Nellie anymore.

It was like Gareth’s eyes had put Thunder’s Wrath and Demon’s Domain into a kind of illusion. They couldn’t deal damage anymore.

Aiden’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Thunder’s Wrath and Demon’s Domain—even those were tricks that Gareth could fool?

This was Aiden’s first real fight against a Level 94 Reclasser, and he was way stronger than Aiden had expected.

That’s why people say the higher the Reclasser level, the bigger the gap. Fighting up a level was much harder than he thought.

"You can stop,We lost this battle." Gareth said to Aiden.

As soon as he spoke, Nellie was shocked. She frowned and said,

"I didn’t lose. I can still fight!"

"If it wasn’t for Aiden’s Legendary Rank staff, I would have—"

Her voice got quieter as she spoke.

Aiden had a Legendary Rank staff, but he was just an Epic Rank Magic Apprentice. Nellie, on the other hand, was a Mythic Rank Radiant Thornqueen, ranked 130th in the world.

And Aiden’s level was much lower than hers.

Nellie took a deep breath, lowered her head, and said in a low voice,

"I lost this fight."

Her pride made her unable to argue.

If she lost and didn’t admit it, she’d hate herself.

"You’re strong. You deserve to be the leader. I’ll follow your orders and let you pick the loot first, just like I promised."Her voice was so quiet, almost too soft to hear.

She never thought she’d lose to an Epic Rank Magic Apprentice one day.

Nellie looked up a little, and stared at Aiden carefully.

Aiden stayed calm, as if he had expected this all along.

To be honest, a Mythic Rank Reclasser was way stronger than an Epic Rank boss, even at the same level.

Before he boosted his stats, he could easily beat a Level 50 Epic Rank boss.

A Level 60 Epic Rank Boss was just a few more skills away.

Now, his total four stats had reached over 50,000. Beating Nellie wasn’t easy at all—it wasn’t a one-hit kill.

And Aiden had just noticed something strange in Nellie’s last move. He guessed she had some special tricks left.

"Still need to get stronger. If I had more high-tier skill enhancement stones, I could upgrade all my skills to Legendary Rank—or even Mythic Rank," Aiden thought to himself.

Even with his 10,000x Critical Hit System, he didn’t get many enhancement stones.

As Aiden thought about how to get stronger, the crowd around him—Victor, Jade, and others—were quietly swallowing their saliva and staying very quiet.

Even Vespera, who had thought Aiden would win, looked shocked.

Too fast. Too fast!

Nellie, from a hidden family, hadn’t lasted even a minute.

Actually, from the start of the fight to the moment Gareth stepped in, it was less than thirty seconds.

Less than thirty seconds!

Aiden had beaten Nellie in that short time. His power was terrifying.

Jordan rubbed his head and took a deep breath, whispering to his sister Cici,

"I feel like if I fought Aiden, I’d only last twenty seconds."

Now he finally understood why Aiden had already been thinking about how to divide the prizes before the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament even started.

Cici looked at Aiden’s back secretly, nodded, and said,

"Bro, you wouldn’t even last ten seconds."

As soon as she said that, Jordan shut his mouth and fell silent.

Victor and Jade looked at each other and then Jade said,

"Hey, why don’t you go challenge Aiden right now?"

Victor took a deep breath and shook his head. "No, Aiden just fought. He’s not in the best condition. Fighting him now would be unfair."

"Wait a bit. When the time is right, I’ll challenge him properly. I’ll show him I’m stronger."

Victor tried to keep his face calm.

Jade nodded and said straight out, "You’re scared, aren’t you? Scared of getting beaten by Aiden in just a few seconds?"

"No, I’m not scared. My class is Mythic Rank Fearless Warrior. Of course I’m not afraid!"

"I just think the timing isn’t right," Victor said slowly.

As long as he didn’t actually fight Aiden, he couldn’t prove who was stronger.

At that moment, Eira and James walked quickly to Aiden’s front.

Eira was very happy. Her mouth was upturned, her eyes slightly squinted. She looked at Aiden seriously and said,

"Those ministers who said you weren’t training and might fall behind other genius Reclassers should see this!"

"My choice was right. You are the best person to be the leader."

She said that and looked at Gareth and Nellie.

Those two from the hidden family always had a deep sense of pride.

Nellie showed it openly, but Gareth hid it well.

Now, the result of the fight between Nellie and Aiden was clear. The so-called "hidden family" genius was nothing in front of Aiden!

The Great Shaw Empire’s geniuses were stronger than the Wycliffe Family’s!

Of course, Eira knew there were probably even stronger geniuses in the Wycliffe Family than Nellie.

But that didn’t change her happy mood right now.

When Eira spoke, Aiden just gave a small nod.

His attention was now on Bane of All Races 2 · Genius Nightmare.

After beating Nellie, the task said he still needed to defeat nine human geniuses, kill ten common Abyss race geniuses, or kill one King-ranked Abyss race genius.

This task had a reward of a resurrection item. Aiden was very interested in it.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Victor and Jade, his eyes full of clear battle desire.

Before Aiden could even speak, Victor looked away and said,

"Um, I’m not in the best shape today. And you just fought, so you need to rest."

"Look, I’ll find you when I’m ready. Don’t worry—I’ll show you I’m stronger."

"There will definitely be a fight between us!"

As for Jade, she said nothing. She just looked down at the floor, ignoring Aiden’s eyes.

"Okay, you two still need to represent the Great Shaw Empire in the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament. You should work together, not fight each other," Eira said straight out.

Aiden thought for a moment. If he didn’t beat nine human geniuses before the tournament, he could always fight Victor and Jade later.

Eira continued, "Today, under the guidance of the human divine powerhouse, the rules and location of the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament have been officially decided."

"Let me get to the point—this tournament is dangerous. Some players might die during it."
