John looked wordlessly at Araxus for a short time, almost unable to believe what he had heard. Araxus was his opponent that he had just defeated in this incredibly important tournament. The winner of the tournament was to receive countless treasures and rewards, most importantly the Ancient Blessings of the Three Daos.
That was a reward that stirred someone like Ji'Han into an excited state, revealing the weight and worth of such a reward. Araxus was a pinnacle genius that no doubt wanted to seize each and every opportunity to improve his strength, and had proven that in his actions and words during their battle.
He detested trickery and tactics, and wanted to battle using only his power alone, wanting to overwhelm his opponents with strength even at the cost of defeat. To someone like Araxus, the Ancient Blessings would be a great boon to further that desire, and yet that opportunity had been thwarted by John's victory.
