บท 1062: Top Sixteen

John soared through the sky towards Naelia and Zuri, then disappeared into the tunnel with the two of them. There were no cheers, no taunts, no boos. The crowd was mostly silent, still processing the gruesome scene they were witnesses to. Rafinia's horrified screams still echoed freshly in their minds, a terrible sound most of them would remember for a long time.

As before, John returned to his training room to continue to hone his newly created battle and movement arts. The round of two hundred and fifty-six took several days to finish, with very few surprises and upsets. 

The round of one hundred and twenty-eight then started, with John's opponent being the number one genius of the Saber Dao Sect. Their fight was flashy and eye-catching, although John quickly made work of his opponent, winning in several minutes.
