Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 576  Hiding in the audience...?

After Kyle wrote down his title on his nameplate, a circle appeared on the back of his hand, and the people sitting in front of the statues all gazed at the projection to find out what title he had written on his nameplate to describe himself.

It was surprising for them to find out he was part of the group that stirred things up earlier, but when they remembered how he had caused a commotion the moment he appeared, they were already expecting him to be another arrogant person who would select an exaggerated title. However, their expectations were pleasantly contradicted when they read the simple yet somewhat profound title the man had chosen.

[Nature's favorite.]

Will, the third shadow general, tilted his head with a bored expression and lost all interest in the human after seeing his title.

"Don't tell me he is the weakest among them all. That's no fun. I thought with the arrogance he just showed, even though he was only at the divine rank, he would be somewhat powerful in another aspect... like with weapons or in normal combat. But you are telling me he is just a human who thinks he's nature's favorite?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unlike him, Ceano's eyes were still fixed on the group of people seated together. Not on Kyle, though; the second shadow general's gaze was fixed on the brown-haired man with golden pupils.

For some reason, he was certain he had sensed that merman's presence before, but he had just visited the last hidden mer race planet to conquer it recently. So, he wasn't sure if his instincts were correct or not.

On the other side, Old Hal's eyes turned somber as he looked at the silver-haired human. He had previously checked the fates of the group surrounding Kyle and knew that their fates were connected. So, when Kyle approached the group, Old Hal attempted to examine his fate as well.

But his astonishment peaked when he discovered that the silver-haired human was the one influencing the fates of those around him. Kyle was the very cause of the old man's inability to fully comprehend the genuine essence of their future paths... yet the young man's own fate was blank.

It was the first time Hal had witnessed someone's fate entirely blank, even after exerting all his spiritual power, as if no one was there to write anything for the young man. Or perhaps he had lost his fate along the way by evading a death that was predestined for him.

"There's something unique within him. How can he survive with a fate that's empty?"

He murmured softly to himself. Suddenly, the woman seated beside him interjected.

"Old man, you have been fixated on that group for some reason. They are all just at the divine rank, nothing exceptional. But if you had seen something special about them, should we keep an eye on them?"

A middle-aged man behind her chimed in with a contemplative expression.

"If the group isn't all talk and can genuinely achieve something in their futures, they could be quite useful."

Old Hal furrowed his brow. Just how many times does he have to remind these people not to fixate on superficial values? He let out a sigh as he looked at the people around him and shut his eyes.

"Just let them be. If they are truly exceptional, they will find a way to shine without our intervention."

The people surrounding the old man fell silent and disregarded the group. Instead, they began scanning the huge crowd for formidable competitors exuding a powerful aura, speculating on whether they would succeed in the Gladiator Arena or not.

Sitting in the audience seats, Kyle's eyes drifted towards the dark circle on the back of his hand. He hummed softly, and after Bia moved towards Mia, he closed his eyes and started absorbing the divine energy in the air to expand his divine energy reserve since he wasn't sure how many more days the registration would continue before the battles in the Gladiator Arena began.

Yue looked back at his calm expression. She was seated with Lara and Mia in the front row, a little way from him, but she could still witness his actions and calm replies to everyone's questions. A look of surprise crossed her face when she sensed Kyle's rank; he had already reached the third stage of divine energy, just one step behind her. But she couldn't help but wonder how he had progressed from the initial stage to the third stage in merely three months.

She smiled and looked at Bia. The phoenix had made it to the final stage of the divine rank, and she was sure Bia would smoothly move up to the transcendent rank in a few months. Yue had a feeling that Kyle would achieve the transcendent rank before her and everyone else, even though many of them had reached the final stage of the divine rank long before him.

Kyle opened his eyes when he felt her gaze, but she had already glanced away. His eyes softened, but suddenly he snapped his head to the right and narrowed his eyes at a distant place...

'I swear someone just tried to check my body... Did I make a mistake?'

A look of caution crossed his face because he could never make such a mistake. His senses were sharp, so whenever someone, strong or weak, tried to probe his body, he could always sensed it.

Susan followed his gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

Kyle's lips curled upward as he withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man.

"Nothing... I just realized that the people sitting in front of the statues are not the only ones watching us. Also, It seems the one who is not in our direct line of sight is the most dangerous of them all."

Susan's gaze sharpened as she grasped Kyle's implication.

"Hiding in the audience...?"

Kyle chuckled and closed his eyes to continue absorbing divine energy, knowing that whoever it was, they couldn't attack him, at least not in the Gladiator Arena.
