"Shouldn't we go to Elder Nurin?" Gonan was worried about the condition of the Heavenly Troops inside Dompai. He sensed a significant battle brewing within Dompai.

The clash of energies seemed to shake the atmosphere outside Dompai. Dompai itself had been enchanted with 8th-level magic, ensuring that training within Dompai would not cause damage outside. This was crucial because Dompai was the largest sparring arena on the Orpris continent, where warriors from across the continent frequently sparred.

The Dompai training grounds were robustly constructed to provide a comfortable training environment, regardless of the individual's strength. All their power was dampened, preventing damage from spreading outside Dompai.

However, when a major battle broke out within Dompai, those outside Dompai, with advanced powers, could sense the intensity of the battle within. That was what Gonan felt, and inevitably so did Grandpa Nurin and Chief Yarko.

"Trust those young men, Gonan. They are strong and trustworthy. If the three hours are up and they haven't come out, we'll go in."

Elder Nurin's words made Gonan dare not argue any further. It had been two hours since the participants were given three hours to enter the passageway inside Dompai. If they followed the allotted time, they would only have one hour left to exit Dompai.

On the other hand, besides having to leave Dompai within three hours, they might also face two members of the dark forces who had already entered Dompai through the portal.

Gonan didn't want to speculate if Elder Nurin trusted the participants to continue the test. Therefore, Gonan could only trust Grandpa Nurin. Likewise, Chief Yarko fell silent and didn't dare protest.

***

Both sides of the battle were equally fierce. Many things that were previously unseen were now visible, as the power they unleashed was a formidable battle for them.

Aji observed that the Heavenly Forces participants were indeed powerful, unquestionable for their young age. They were considered martial arts geniuses, but they lacked teamwork and simply attacked recklessly.

On the other hand, the warriors from the Black School, including Mora, who had already unleashed Demon Transformation, and Jasum, who was using his superior strength, were facing off. This was a life-and-death battle for the Heavenly Forces participants.

They still needed extensive training and guidance.

Several White School warriors—Gayatri, Lao, Nora, Arion, and Astro—were facing Jasum, who was predicted to possess eighth-level combat power for a White School warrior. However, the rankings were different in the Black School, but at least Jasum's rank was quite high in the Black School.

This time, Astro asked the other warriors to attack Jasum together; perhaps there would be a chance.

"Let's attack together!" Astro, a magic swordsman, raised his sword. His sword's trajectory glowed, seemingly with a luminous tail. He spun it upwards. A powerful energy circle emerged, forming a circle of energy.

This time, all the remaining Heavenly Troops, aside from those facing Mora, felt compelled to assist Astro. They had to work together; they were the hope of the martial arts world, and they were the ones who maintained justice. Creating a sense of security for the entire continent was their responsibility.

Domar, Rosa, Hamda, Namud, Binto, Aria, Mega. Everyone who hadn't yet joined the fight also lent their strength. Some supported by linking energy and paving the way for attacks, while others prepared for physical attacks.

Jasum sensed that everyone was targeting him. With a quick command, Astro attacked with a swing of his sword, energy shooting toward Jasum. Mega used her area of ​​influence on Jasum and aimed from a distance. One of Mega's abilities was to slow down the enemy's movements, seemingly locking them in place. This was a unique ability, and Jasum struggled to move his hand.

Aria attacked with her staff, and Rosa also rushed in with her long sword, typical of female swordsmen. Namud, wielding a single-edged axe, leaped toward Jasum. Hamda and Binto also attacked with their swords. Domar, from a distance, attacked with a short spear held in his right and left hands, striking forward.

Jasum's movements were now faster and stronger. When Mega's pressure prevented him from moving, he broke the seal, draining Mega's energy. Once free, he blocked Astro's attack, effectively blocking it. Aria, wielding a staff, was met with a kick, causing a clash. Rosa, also attacking with a sword, was dodged by Jasum. Jasum even countered with a kick, landing on Rosa's stomach.

Rosa was knocked back, and Namud, wielding an axe, was easily dodged by Jasum. Jasum stomped to the floor and charged forward to meet Hamda and Binto. Both were hit by the energy attack and retreated. At that moment, Domar, wielding his two signature short spears, faced Jasum.

Blaaarrrr!

Domar fought back with all his might, blocking Jasum's attack. Jasum suppressed Domar's power, but Domar refused to give in. While Jasum was still preoccupied with Domar, Mega again used her powers to restrain Jasum's movements. At that moment, Arion's spear shot out with a sharp point, directly targeting Jasum, and the attack seemed impossible for Jasum to avoid.

Was it successful?

Bang!

Jasum blocked Arion's spearhead with his left hand, his palm extended, coated with energy to block Arion's sharp spearhead.

"What a nuisance!"

Jasum looked furious, spinning his body with dark energy, and deflected all the attacks from the Heavenly Army participants. Still with a chance, Gayatri and Lao immediately entered the battle, and shortly after, they recovered their strength.

As the other warriors were knocked back, Lao and Gayatri entered, assisted by Nora, who wielded his greatsword, advancing with a twirl. Lao and Gayatri let Nora enter first. Nora spun around, filled with immense energy, perhaps his peak power, and he unleashed his full power.

"Destroy the army of darkness!" Nora's shout boomed, his sword aimed at Jasum. Another energy explosion occurred, dark and light energies shimmering powerfully. Jasum blocked Nora's sword strike with both hands. The dark energy from Jasum's body writhed like a blazing fire.

Craaakkk! Craaakkkk!

Nora's greatsword cracked little by little and shattered as Jasum pressed down with great force.

"Demon Transform!"

Blaaaaaaaarrrrr!

An explosion of darkness ensued. Nora was sent flying, losing his greatsword to pieces. The power of Jasum's energy with the demon transformation destroyed Nora's weapon.

BOOM!
