Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 1032 Class Six vs Jasper

The battle between Reinhard's class and Jasper's class was highly anticipated, given the rivalry that had developed between the two groups throughout their time at Nirvana School. As the two classes faced off in the training ground, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and tension.

As Jasper stood on the stage facing Class Six, a wave of uncertainty washed over him. He had always been the one to bully and look down on Class Six, seeing them as inferior and unworthy of his attention. But now, as he looked at them with their heads held high, he couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease.

Gone was the chaos and disorder he had grown accustomed to seeing from Class Six. In its place was a united front, a team of students who had clearly undergone a significant transformation. Their confidence and composure were evident, and Jasper couldn't shake the feeling that he was facing an entirely different group of individuals.

"Is this really the same Class Six?" he wondered, his mind racing to comprehend the change before him.

His usual bravado and arrogance wavered as he noticed the changes in his opponents. They no longer cowered in his presence or feared his taunts. Instead, they met his gaze with unwavering determination and a fire in their eyes that he had never seen before. It was as if they had shed their old selves and emerged stronger and more resilient than ever.

The memory of his past actions, the times he had bullied and belittled them, flashed before his eyes. He realized that his past behavior had only fueled their determination to prove themselves. They had taken his insults and turned them into fuel to become better, to become a force to be reckoned with.

Old Gu cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping across the assembled students from both Class One and Class Six. The tension in the air was palpable, and all eyes were fixed on him, waiting for the rules of the battle to be revealed.

"This will be a three-on-three team battle," Old Gu declared. "The outcome of this round will determine who is going to the next one."

Old Gu stepped forward, his authoritative presence commanding the attention of both classes. His eyes scanned the students before he began to explain the rules of the battle.

"Rule number one: No killing. The battle ends when none of your class can fight anymore. Accidents may happen so be cautious at all times."

"Rule number two: Touching outside the ring means a knockout. The designated ring is your battleground, and stepping outside of it will result in disqualification for that individual. If all three members of a team are outside the ring simultaneously, the team will be considered defeated."

"And finally, rule number three: Weapons are allowed. You are free to use your chosen weapons and techniques in battle. However, remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Be mindful of your actions and the safety of your fellow cultivators."

Old Gu's voice was firm, and he made sure that every student understood the gravity of the rules. The crowd listened attentively, knowing that these guidelines were in place to ensure a fair and honorable competition.

"Respect these rules, and may the battles be a true testament to your growth and potential as cultivators. Show us the results of your hard work and dedication! Now, let the battles begin!"

With that, the stage was set for the epic clashes between Class Six and Class One, each student filled with determination and eager to prove themselves in this momentous event. The atmosphere was charged with excitement, and the young masters, teachers, and spectators alike were ready to witness the battles that would go down in the history of Nirvana School.

"One more rule, I must emphasize - any interference or intervention from individuals outside the battling teams will be considered cheating. It is crucial that the outcome of the matches is solely determined by the skills and abilities of the participating students. Any external involvement will lead to immediate disqualification."

The students nodded in understanding, recognizing the significance of this rule. Cheating not only undermined the spirit of the competition but also reflected poorly on the integrity of the cultivators involved.

"Now, with all the rules laid out, let the battles begin!" Old Gu declared once more, his voice echoing through the courtyard, setting the stage for the highly anticipated showdown between Class Six and Class One.

Jasper's class moved forward aggressively, charging toward Class Six with a coordinated attack.

"Heh," Lyon had a proud smile hanging and Class Six could feel their shoulders being pushed onward.

However, Class One soon found themselves in for a surprise. Class Six, who used to be timid and constantly bullied by Class One, had undergone a significant transformation during Lyon's absence.

Reinhard took the lead, his combat skills polished and his movements more fluid than ever. He parried Jasper's attacks effortlessly, countering with swift and precise strikes that left Jasper scrambling to defend. Meanwhile, Noah's strategic mind shone through as he expertly coordinated his team's movements, creating openings and opportunities for Rayus to deliver devastating blows.

As the battle raged on between Class Six and Class One, Jasper found himself on the defensive, trying to block the relentless attacks from Reinhard, Noah, and Rayus. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and his muscles screamed with exertion.

"I can't lose to you!" Jasper growled, his voice filled with frustration. "I won't let Class Six surpass us!"

Reinhard smirked, his eyes flashing with determination. "We're just showing you what we're capable of. No need to be scared, Jasper."

Noah joined the assault, launching a swift kick towards Jasper's side. "We've worked hard to improve, and we're not holding back!"

Rayus added, "You can talk all you want, but actions speak louder than words!"

Jasper pushed back, attempting to regain his composure. "You think you've changed? You're still the same weaklings from before!"

Reinhard's gaze hardened, his movements becoming more focused. "We're not weak anymore, Jasper. You'll see."

The battle raged on, each side giving their all to prove their strength. Jasper couldn't deny that Class Six had improved, but he refused to admit defeat easily. He was determined to show them that Class One was still a force to be reckoned with.

As the clash of weapons echoed through the arena, Jasper's competitive spirit flared. He wouldn't let Class Six overshadow them. He would fight with all his might, and they would see that Class One was not to be underestimated.

Class Six and Class One soon reached their climax, the tension in the arena was palpable. Every movement, every strike, and every evasion was met with cheers and gasps from the crowd. The young masters, teachers, and even the mysterious seer, Lili, were all captivated by the intensity of the fight.

Jasper, despite his initial doubts, fought with unwavering determination. His skills were impressive, and he managed to hold his ground against the relentless attacks of Reinhard, Noah, and Rayus. But Class Six had come a long way, and they were not the same weaklings Jasper had once bullied.

Reinhard's spearmanship was refined and precise, each swing calculated to create openings in Jasper's defense. Noah's magic and archery allowed him to swiftly evade attacks and counter with precise strikes. Rayus displayed incredible strength and adaptability, using his swordsmanship expertise to keep Jasper on his toes.

Reinhard, Noah, and Rayus filled with determination, faced off against Jasper and his Class One teammates. The audience watched in awe, fully engrossed in the spectacle before them. th

Jasper, however, was refusing to believe that Class Six had become stronger. He gritted his teeth, sweat forming on his brow, as he swung his sword with reckless abandon. "You think you're better than us?" he snarled, his voice laced with frustration. "You're just a bunch of nobodies!"

Jasper's face contorted with anger, but deep down, he couldn't deny that Class Six had indeed grown stronger. As the battle continued, he found himself on the defensive, struggling to keep up with their coordinated attacks and improved techniques.

The crowd watched in awe as Class Six showcased their newfound strength. Their movements were fluid and precise, each strike purposeful and powerful. They moved as a seamless unit, anticipating each other's actions and countering with precision.

Han was shouting, "What are you doing?! Fight back!!"

Han's voice echoed in frustration, urging Jasper to fight back and salvage the battle. However, the reality was evident to everyone present. Class Six had executed their strategies flawlessly, and Jasper's arrogance had become his undoing.

"It's a skill issue, it's over," Lyon's calm and confident voice cut through the tension. He knew that the battle had reached its conclusion, and there was no turning back.

With one big step forward, Reinhard found a grand wide opening that Jasper left.

"?!" Jasper realized his critical mistake before his right chest was pierced as his other two classmates were blown away from the stage. Blood splurged from his back as his knees fell.

"You.... win..." Jasper lost consciousness and fell with his gaze blurring.
