"Good!"
Enzo felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon seeing their determination. "Let's divide the responsibilities. Kosor, you'll handle the young talents' accommodations and meals. Patricia and Matilda, you'll focus on their training and tactical guidance. I'll communicate with the Star League to ensure the competition's fairness."
The leaders accepted their tasks and dispersed to make final preparations for the upcoming competition.
...
On the day of the competition, Enzo led five of Planet Alfa's most talented youths to the Star League's arena.
The arena was bustling with noise, packed with spectators and competitors from various planets. The atmosphere was both tense and electrifying.
Standing at the edge of the arena, Enzo's gaze swept over the five young talents. Determination and confidence radiated from their eyes.
He knew that in this moment, they weren't just representing themselves—they were carrying the honor of the entire Planet Alfa.
"Give it your all, kids!"
Enzo said to them, "No matter the outcome, you are the pride of Planet Alfa."
"Yes, sir!"
The five young talents replied in unison, their voices firm and resolute.
With the referee's whistle piercing through the air, the third round of the competition officially began.
This round of the competition was more complex and ruthless, with contestants facing one-on-one battles against the strongest opponents from different planets.
Jordan Miller, the first representative from Planet Alfa, faced an intimidating warrior named Cartier from a formidable planet.
Cartier was a towering figure, with bulging muscles resembling a moving mountain. He wielded a massive battle axe, his eyes gleaming with fierce determination.
"Come on, show me what you've got!"
Cartier taunted, his voice booming as he stared Jordan down.
Jordan smiled faintly and unsheathed his longsword, assuming a combat stance. "I won't disappoint you."
With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.
Cartier charged forward, swinging his giant battle axe with incredible force. Jordan swiftly dodged, countering with a precise thrust aimed at Cartier's vital point.
Despite his immense size and strength, Cartier's agility was impressive.
He evaded Jordan's attack and countered with a powerful swing of his axe. The clash between the two was intense, with flashes of sword light and axe shadows weaving a dazzling display.
The audience watched in rapt attention, afraid to miss a single moment.
They marveled at Jordan's bravery and Cartier's raw power, their gasps and cheers echoing throughout the arena.
After an intense back-and-forth, Jordan finally spotted a weakness in Cartier's defenses.
Seizing the opportunity, Jordan launched a decisive attack. With a powerful swing, his blade sent a sharp arc of light slicing through the air toward Cartier.
Cartier noticed the danger at the last second and managed to avoid a fatal blow, but the sword's energy still left a deep gash on his arm.
"I've won!"
Jordan exclaimed, breathing heavily, his eyes shining with the thrill of victory.
The crowd erupted into cheers for Jordan's triumph, and the referee's whistle confirmed his victory.
Next up was Bruce Brown, whose opponent was a mysterious magician named Ashanti, hailing from an enigmatic planet.
Ashanti wore a black mage's robe, her eyes radiating an otherworldly glow.
In her hand, she held an intricately carved staff, exuding an aura of powerful magic ready to be unleashed at any moment.
"Hmph, shadow magic? Let's see what you're capable of."
Bruce Brown scoffed, his hands forming seals as he prepared his counterattack.
Ashanti smiled faintly, saying nothing. With a gentle wave of her staff, a surge of shadow energy streaked toward Bruce Brown.
Bruce dodged swiftly and launched his own shadow magic counterattack.
The clash between the two was intense and evenly matched. Waves of shadow energy intertwined across the arena, creating an eerie and mesmerizing spectacle. The audience watched in a mix of awe and fear, the sinister atmosphere sending chills down their spines.
Just as the battle seemed deadlocked, Bruce Brown executed a powerful shadow ambush. In a flash, he appeared behind Ashanti, delivering a devastating punch aimed at her back.
Ashanti sensed the danger and attempted to evade, but Bruce's sudden attack caught her off guard. With a pained cry, she was sent sprawling to the ground by his heavy strike.
"I've won!" Bruce declared, panting heavily, a triumphant glint in his eyes.
The crowd erupted into cheers for Bruce's victory, and the referee's whistle confirmed the outcome.
...
Next up was Kehl, whose opponent was a robotic warrior named Tony Jabbar from a highly advanced technological planet.
Tony Jabbar was clad in a sleek metallic battle suit, wielding a glowing energy sword. His expressionless gaze flickered with an unfeeling, mechanical precision.
"Come on, show me how good your aim is!" Kehl taunted, his voice filled with confidence as he readied his bow and arrows.
Tony Jabbar remained silent, merely lifting his energy sword in a calculated stance. With the referee's whistle signaling the start of the match, the battle commenced.
Kehl quickly drew his longbow, an arrow nocked on the string, aiming at Tony Jabbar. However, Tony Jabbar's speed was astonishing. He almost dodged the attack the instant Kehl released the arrow.
Kehl didn't lose heart, continuing to launch attacks, with arrows raining down on Tony Jabbar. Yet, it seemed as if Tony Jabbar had some form of precognition, as he always managed to evade the arrows at the crucial moment.
The duel between them was intense and tense, with Kehl's archery and Tony Jabbar's speed weaving together into a breathtaking scene on the arena. The audience watched in excitement, feeling their blood boil.
However, as time went on, Kehl began to gain the upper hand. Using his wisdom and experience, he found a flaw in Tony Jabbar's defense. After a precise shot, he finally hit Tony Jabbar's energy core, defeating him.
"I won!" Kehl shouted, panting, his eyes shining with the light of victory.
The audience cheered for Kehl's victory, and the sound of the referee's whistle rang out, announcing Kehl's win.
Next up was Raynaud, whose opponent was an orc warrior from a natural planet named Dwayne. Dwayne was tall and muscular, holding a huge spiked club, with a wild gleam in his eyes.
"Come on, show me how strong you are!"
Raynaud provocatively looked at Dwayne and said that.
Dwayne snorted but didn't say much more. He swung his spiked club and charged at Raynaud. Raynaud swiftly dodged, counterattacking with earth magic.
The battle between them was fierce and evenly matched, with Dwayne's strength and Raynaud's magic clashing in the arena, creating a scene that thrilled the audience.
However, just as the two were locked in a hard-fought battle, Raynaud suddenly cast a powerful Earth Magic Circle. The entire arena was instantly covered in earth elements, forming a muddy swamp.
Dwayne's movements became sluggish in the swamp, while Raynaud seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, forming sharp spikes from the earth elements and driving them toward Dwayne.
Although Dwayne was incredibly strong, he struggled to move in the swamp. He was struck by several spikes, letting out pained cries. Eventually, unable to withstand the pain, he collapsed to the ground.
"I won!"
Raynaud shouted, panting, his eyes sparkling with victory.
The audience cheered for Raynaud's victory, and the sound of the referee's whistle rang out, announcing Raynaud as the winner.
The final match featured Liliana, whose opponent was an assassin from a mysterious planet named Brittney.
Brittney wore tight black clothing and a mask that only revealed her eyes. She wielded two sharp daggers and moved like a ghost, making her hard to track.
"Come on, show me how powerful your water magic is!" Liliana provocatively said these words, eyeing Brittney.
Brittney said nothing, silently raising her daggers.
With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.
Brittney moved swiftly across the arena like a shadow, trying to find Liliana's weakness. Liliana, meanwhile, wielded her longsword, continuously blocking Brittney's attacks while searching for an opening to counterattack.
The duel was intense and tense, with Brittney's speed and Liliana's swordplay intertwining in a beautiful display on the arena. The audience watched, feeling a sense of exhilaration.
However, just as the two were evenly matched, Liliana suddenly cast a powerful Water Magic Circle. The entire arena was instantly engulfed in water elements, transforming into a vast sea. Brittney's movements slowed in the vast ocean, while Liliana seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, forming sharp ice blades from the water elements and hurling them at Brittney.
Although Brittney was agile, she found it difficult to evade in the vast ocean. She was struck several times by ice blades, letting out cries of pain. In the end, she couldn't endure the agony and collapsed to the ground.
"I won!" Liliana gasped, her eyes shining with the glow of victory.
The audience cheered for Liliana's victory, and the referee's whistle echoed across the arena, declaring Liliana as the winner.
After the third round, the five talented youths from Alfa planet had all emerged victorious. They approached Enzo, smiling at him.
Enzo nodded in approval. "Children, you performed exceptionally well this time and brought honor to Alfa planet. In the upcoming matches, continue to push yourselves and strive for even better results!"
"Yes, Lord Enzo, we will keep working hard!" The five young talents replied in unison, their eyes glowing with determination.
Enzo nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Patricia and Matilda. "Patricia, Matilda, the upcoming training is in your hands. Make sure they stay in top form and prepare them for the next competition."
