After being declared the winner of the match, there was total silence before the sound of clap could be heard coming from the crowd and then came a yell.
"That is my big brother then there" the one who said all this was no other than Hannah who had a wide smile on her face.
The crowd was first stun before they begin to clap along with Hannah except for Andrew and his gang as they have a frown on their face.
"Todd was just defeated just like that" said Andrew with a gritted teeth.
"He must have used an underhand method to win the match" reply Denise.
"I don't care what method he used in winning, all I wanted is for him to lose the tournament" said Andrew as he slams his hand on the handle of the chair he was sitting on.
"Don't worry boss as long as he faces my brother in the next match, he will surely lose with some injuries" reply Denise with assurance.
"Let just hope that he doesn't disappoint us" said Andrew.
"Boss you know it's impossible for him to lose to that kid given how strong he is" replied Denise.
"Todd was strong but he lost to him, so what makes you think that your brother won't do the same" asked Andrew as he turned to give Denise a look.
"Unlike Todd who holds back his strength, my brother will never do that. And watching the two fight, he would give it his all even when he knows his opponent those not worth much" replied Denise.
"I think you are right about that" said Andrew with a nod before turning his attention back to the arena.
Jason sat on the floor as he watches as Todd was being carried out of the arena by two members of the family before the elder walks up to Jason.
"Congrats to your win kid, here is a rejuvenating pill. I suggest you go and recuperate before the third match is over" advises the elder before walking out of the stage.
Taking the elder advice, Jason got up and walk out of the stage, and went to sit down after taking the pills before he begins to cultivate.
The third match begins with Larry overpowering his opponent right from the beginning of the match and it didn't take time before the match ended.
Walking out of the stage as he went to stood by the side while does that advance to the next stage were as he gives both Jason and Austin a deadly stare before looking forward.
Taking the stage once more was the elder that was overseeing the fight as he looks at the audience who were happy with the outcome of the event. Taking a did breath, the elderly finally spoke up.
"Now the selected three are before us and I know many of you must be surprised about their performance and would love to see who will go up against who in the semi-final but before we go into that, let give our young fighters some time to recuperate from their injuries".
"That old man is just looking for an excuse to help the kid recover from his injuries" sale Andrew while gritting his teeth.
"No matter what tricks he pulls, there is no way that kid will be able to beat my brother or Larry if he were to face any of them" reply Denise with a smile on his face.
"Yeah I know about that but still that old man is not acting according to the rules and the family head is not saying anything" said Andrew.
Meanwhile, Jason was busy using the pill to heal himself at the same time talking with the bracelet.
"Nice one kid see what I told you, if you continue to listen to my instructions, you won't be in danger all the time" said the bracelet.
"Yeah, but my next match won't be the same since this two are in a different league than the previous ones" replied Jason as he turned to look at the two with a frown on his face.
"Don't worry kid if they continue with this process, then you don't have to fight in the semi-final" said the bracelet.
"Well, you can't be certain that I will be lucky in the next round" reply Jason.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about lucky kid cause there is no way these two are going to avoid fighting" said the bracelet with a light laugh.
After the time that was given for them to prepare for the next round was up, the elder came forward and instructed them to step up and picked their lot and after which he walked out leaving the three on the stage.
Right after the elder left the arena, Jason raised his head to look at the two to see their expression only to see them being calm.
'How can they be this calm' thought Jason.
"That's because they believe in their capability. By the way, what number did you pick this time around" asked the bracelet.
Opening the lot, Jason was stun to see the number one written on the lot.
"Didn't you say I will be lucky this time around, so how come I end up picking this number" said Jason.
"You don't have to believe everything I say since it was just a guess anyway" reply the bracelet.
"So you were messing with me then" asked Jason with a frown
"Relax kid, even if you were to face either of them, I am sure you will be able to win given the training you have gone through" reply the bracelet.
"Please don't say that okay, do you think these two will be so easy to beat" asked Jason.
"They are stronger but that is it" replies the bracelet.
"So who am I facing this time around" asked Larry as he turned to the two.
"Don't look at me alright, I am not lucky this time around so you won't be facing me" replied Austin.
"I am the one you will be facing" reply Jason with a frown on his face.

When Larry heard that he will be facing Jason for the semi-final, he couldn't help but smile as he turned toward Jason and said.
"I believe you must have been watching my fight and have come to know of my strength, so why don't you just save us the stress and just forfeit so that I can have a real fight with Austin".
"I am sorry to disappoint you but I am not leaving this arena without trying my very best and winning the match" replied Jason as he clenched his fist together.
"Haha, you must think that I am no different from Todd who couldn't beat a weakling like you but let me tell you something, I don't hold back while fighting and if you are not careful enough, then getting injured would not be avoidable" said Larry.
"He is right about that, but at the same time he is wrong for everyone have a weak spot and if you can find it, then winning will be a piece of cake just like the case with Todd who has low stamina" said the bracelet to Jason.
"Yeah but before I could find his weak spot, then I would have been knocked unconscious by then" replied Jason.
Now looking at the two who were about to start their fight soon, Austin couldn't help but chuckled as he said while walking out of the arena.
"I guess it is time for me to go wait for my fight since I will be facing either of you but I really hope you can make it to me" said Austin as he turned to give Jason an understanding look.
"Stop daydreaming Austin, we both know that he won't be making it to the final unless you are afraid of facing me" said Larry while folding his hand in front of his chest.
"And why should I be afraid of you Larry" asked Austin with a light chuckle.
"You have every right to be and just wait after I am done beating the living hell out of him, I will be coming for you" reply Larry.
"I heard you alright so just get this over with and let's see who is going to lose with some broken bones" said Austin.
Right after Austin left the arena, Larry turns his attention back to Jason with a grin on his face as he said.
"This is your last warning boy else don't blame me for what is about to happen to you".
"I don't like repeating myself twice so if you still want to fight then get on with it and stop shouting like a mad man" replies Jason.
"Wow, the kid got fire in him" said the family head with a chuckle.
"Too bad he is not a member of our family else he would have been a good seedling" commented one of the elders.
"It would be a miracle if he were to win this match don't you think so" added the grand elder who sat close to the family head.
"I doubt it but there is also the probability that he might win" reply the family head.
"Why don't we make this fight a little more entertaining for old-timers like us" said the grand elder as he stroke his breeds.
"And what do you have in mind grand elder" asked the family head.
"How about we old-timer place a bet on who is going to win this round" reply the grand elder with a smile on his face.
"That's a good idea grand elder, so what is going to be the stake here" asked another elder.
"Anything of value could be used as a stake so you can all place your better" reply the grand elder.
And that is how they begin with their gambling with all the elders betting on Larry while putting down rare herbs, cultivation techniques, and treasures down but that is when the elders notice that the family head and the grand elder has not placed their better.
"Grand elder are you not going to place your bet" asked an elder.
"Oh, I will right after he place is better" reply the grand elder with a smile as he turns to look at the family head.
"You all know how my luck in gambling his so I will not be joining you give but if you don't mind, then I will be the bet maker" reply the family head with an awkward laugh.
"Sure you can be the matcher of our little game so what about you grand elder, who will you be placing your bet on" said an elder.
"Hahaha, I will be placing my bet on the kid and this is my stake" reply the grand elder as he pulls out three crystal clear pills from his robe.
"Is that enlightenment pill that is rumor to have the effect of increasing the chance of breaking through one bottleneck" asked the family head as he stared at the three pills in the grand elder hand and the same could be said about the elders who were glued on looking at the pills.
"Yes it is but this one that I am holding is of lower grades but I believe it is more than enough to place as my stake" replies the grand elder with a chuckle.
"But grand elder don't you think it will be a waste for you to bet on that kid winning" asked an elder.
"Nothing is a waste, it just shows that I wasn't lucky enough and with you elders going all out, I have to do the same else it won't be entertaining" reply the grand elder.
"Since you went to stake the pill then there is nothing much for us to say then" said an elder.
"The match is about to start" said the family head after taking the pills from the grand elder.
"I don't know why grand elder bet on him winning since the match won't last a minute" mutter the family head as he turned to look at the grand elder.
