Under the rules of the duel, winning one match allows you to challenge higher-ranking noble alliances, whereas losing three times grants eligibility to challenge by the low-level noble alliance.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the Tulip Kingdomâs Noble Alliance.
The third round, the third match, began directly following the end of the battle between the Divine Wood Kingdom and the Greenfield Kingdom.
As the match began.
A young figure stepped forward directly.
"Macedonian Kingdom, Terry Smith!"
The figure stood in mid-air, flashes of thunder surrounding him, with the power of the Law Mark pulsating from the center of his forehead, an invisible ripple spreading instantly all around.
That was the power of the Pseudo Domain.
As the ripple spread, arcs of electricity seemed to flicker in the surroundings.
Below, numerous gazes gathered on this young figure involuntarily.
The gazes flickered.
Law Mark.
Even for those at the Half-Step Sanctuary, it was not a simple existence.
It naturally drew their attention.
"Viscount Thor!"
Old Duke Liepuerâs gaze turned to Thor, speaking up.
"Leave it to me!"
Thor nodded slightly, and the next moment he stepped forward.
"Buzz!"
Ripples began to spread at this moment, with the power of the Pseudo Domain rapidly extending.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The powers of the two Pseudo Domains collided instantly.
The Law Marks intertwined, both belonging to the power of Thunder constantly clashing.
In an instant, the area transformed into a land of howling thunder.
"What is this?"
Someone instinctively spoke, their gaze turning towards the Tulip Kingdomâs Noble Alliance, while others locked eyes on Thor.
Their eyes widened, their expressions filled with shock.
No one expected that aside from Count Engle, who was already a Half-Step Sanctuary, the Tulip Kingdomâs Noble Alliance would have a youth who also mastered the Law Mark, just like the Macedonian Kingdom.
Moreover, judging by his aura, he had probably reached the level of a Sky Knight.
"Hey, hey, is this a joke? How come I feel like this knight from the Tulip Kingdom isnât even thirty years old."
"I feel the same."
"Isnât this too young?"
"Whatâs the big deal? That one from the Macedonian Kingdom is also very young."
"Itâs different, that one from Macedonia is nearing forty, while this one looks no more than twenty-five or twenty-six. Could he really be a Sky Knight at twenty-five or twenty-six?"
"This!"
Voices mixed and overlapped.
While they were in a state of fluctuation, Isabelâs beautiful eyes couldnât help but widen, watching that figure step forward in a daze.
Initially, she thought Count Engleâs display of Half-Step Sanctuary was shocking enough, but she didnât expect that was just the beginning.
At this moment, Thor was surprisingly demonstrating the strength of a Sky Knight.
Isabel knew well of Thorâs strength.
A year ago, Thorâs strength was merely at the level of a regular Earth Knight.
Now, what she was witnessing, in just a yearâs time, Thorâs strength had reached the level of a Sky Knight, and what made Isabelâs heart beat wildly was the Law Mark pulsing on Thorâs forehead at this moment.
Law Mark, that was a Law Mark.
"Could it be from that time."
"Itâs him!"
Isabel murmured to herself, subconsciously recalling the experience in the Divine Ruins.
Thor was the last to come out back then.
Initially, she thought Thor, like herself, hadnât gained anything, but now it seemed that might not be the case after all.
"Isabel, are you sure the Dressrosa Family is just a Countâs Clan?"
A middle-aged man instinctively spoke, casting a glance at Thor in the distance, then at his daughter, his lips twitching slightly.
Good heavens, a Half-Step Sanctuary and someone who mastered the Law Mark, if such individuals were merely from a Countâs Clan, what would that make them?
Isabel opened her mouth, suddenly unsure of how to respond.
"The Dressrosa Family!"
The elder whispered, his gaze turning to the distance.
Their reactions were much the same as the Anubi family, as were several other noble alliance families.
Even the figure from the Sela Kingdom couldnât help but brighten their eyes.
"A Law Mark under thirty years old."
Murmuring to himself, his gaze turned to an elder beside him.
"Grandfather, do you know that descendant from the Tulip Kingdomâs Noble Alliance?"
The middle-aged man asked with a touch of inquiry.
"I donât know."
"But judging by the emblem, it should be the descendant of the newly appeared Half-Step Sanctuary from the Tulip Kingdom."
The elder shook his head, unfamiliar with Thor, but he could make some educated guesses based on the family emblem.
"Dressrosa?"
"Wait, after the duel ends, go over there."
"Forget it, Iâll go myself later!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and spoke.
"This!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged manâs words, the elder was somewhat surprised.
"The academy has admissions standards, and if such a genius can be brought to Canaan Academy, I can gain a lot of points."
The middle-aged man explained softly.
"Understood!"
The elder nodded slightly, albeit reluctantly, but he understood it benefited his grandson and reluctantly agreed.
Of course, Thor at this moment was entirely unaware of the thoughts of the other noble alliances.
The power of the Pseudo Domain spread, instantly colliding with Terry Smithâs Pseudo Domain.
Both were marks of the Thunder Law.
At this moment, the entire sky seemed to transform into a Thunder Prison.
Terry Smith couldnât help but show a look of surprise; he hadnât expected there to be a Sky Knight with a Law Mark in the Tulip Kingdom.
Moreover, judging by the otherâs age, he was actually younger than himself.
"Who are you?"
Terry Smith spoke, his expression involuntarily turning serious.
"Tulip Kingdom, Thor Dressrosa!"
Thor replied calmly. After carefully feeling the Pseudo Domain of Terry Smith, he couldnât help but shake his head. This level of Pseudo Domain couldnât compare to his Thunder Pseudo Domain, at most barely mastering the power of the Pseudo Domain.
His strength likely wasnât much stronger than Reine, let alone him.
"Dressrosa?"
Terry Smith instinctively spoke, puzzled by the name.
Heâd never heard of such a family.
But just as he was puzzled.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
A massive roaring sound echoed, and the next moment, the Thunder Power around Thor expanded instantly, causing Terry Smithâs Pseudo Domain to begin collapsing.
A massive feeling of oppression descended from the sky.
"Oh no!"
His face changed, instinctively trying to act.
But in the next moment.
"Itâs over!"
Thor spoke calmly.
With a soft grasp and pull of his right hand.
"Boom!"
In the gathered clouds above, boundless thunder converged.
Then it fell downward instantly.
The dazzling white light filled the entire field of vision.
"Rumble!"
A massive booming sound echoed as Terry Smithâs body was covered in thunder, and then he fell directly from the sky.
