Chapter 1029 - Ludio's Luck

It didn't matter anymore as the judge clearly heard Ludio's words. "Winner, Rean Larks from the Lukimira Sect!"

Ludio then fell on his butt as he sighed in relief, muttering to himself, "It's finally over."

Rean felt like crying after hearing that. "Don't act as if I was the one aiming at your little brother there!"

However, he quickly put those thoughts behind as he asked Roan through their Soul Connection, 'Did you see all of that? Could someone really be this lucky, or do you think he did all of that on purpose?'

Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that. Obviously, he had also seen it. 'I doubt it was on purpose. However, that chain of events...somehow, I feel like it's connected to the fact that Ludio had gotten this far.'

Rean nodded, replying, 'From what I know, he got this far because most of his opponents who were stronger than him were already seriously injured. They couldn't show any of their real strength and lost in the end.'

Roan also added, 'In fact, the same thing should have happened to you. Did you forget how you and Luval's condition was at the end of the fight? Without your Life Style, Second Form, Recovery, do you think you would be in shape to fight Ludio?'Immerse Yourself in the Storyverse: N♡vεlB¡n.

Rean immediately shook his head. 'I would have given up this fight straight away if that was the case. When my battle against Luval was over, I could barely move, let alone fight anyone else.'

'Exactly.' Roan agreed with Rean before asking, 'Sister Orb, do you know anything about it?'

[Oh, so you finally remember that I exist, huh? Why can't you two talk to me more?]

Roan's mouth twitched in response. 'Stop the fucking drama! Tell us. Is there something different about Ludio?'

*Bang, bang, bang...*

*Swish, swish, swish...*

Sure enough, Roan was right. Rean's next opponent would come out of this fight. However... both fighters were going all out, and both were injured quite badly. Nevertheless, they kept giving it their all, only worsening their situation.

Their battle continued for several minutes until finally... they ended up delivering a devastating hit against each other at the same time.

*Thud, thud...*

Both competitors fell to the ground, completely unconscious. This wasn't anything new in this first battle competition, so the judge simply announced. "Both contestants are out of battle. Neither will advance!"

*Wow!*

A few moments later, Ravio, the elder responsible for this competition, announced, "Rean Larks from the Lukimira Sect wins the physical one-on-one competition!"

Rean couldn't help but look back in Ludio's direction, who also came to watch the battle. For Ludio, the loser of this fight would be his opponent for third place, or so it was supposed to be. However, since there would be no one to fight Rean in the final, the three of them should decide who would be second instead. Obviously, Ludio got second place straight away as neither of his possible opponents was in any condition to fight at all!

Ludio was obviously surprised to see that, and he couldn't help but celebrate the prize of 1000 Divine Stones he would get for the second place.

Of course, the main attention was on Rean, as the twins got another Divine Vein.

It's just that Rean's attention wasn't on the outcome of this battle. Instead... 'What is that thing?'

It was faint, but Rean was sure he could see something floating around Ludio. It's just that no one else seemed to notice it. 'A.... fairy?'
