"So, now I have to win this fight with a peak 9-star Jagruti (Awakening) stage to enter Aaroha Academy; let's give my best," Jai Veer thought and got ready for the fight.
"Start!!!" said the teacher of Arena 3, and the fight between Jai Veer and Anmol Ratan began.
Both of them took out their swords and ran towards each other, attacking with magical energy and dodging each other's attacks. They were both very good with swords and both were just inches away from cutting each other at fatal points many times.
As the fight continues, the sword fight yields no results, and it is embarrassing for Anmol Ratan, who is at a peak 9-star Jagruti stage.
"Ah! Looks like I have to use techniques now; there is no point in fighting in short distance now," he thought and decided to fight in mid or long distance.
"Fire Power" Anmol Ratan used the firepower attack he learned in the academy as a reward for his performance, and this attack is also very common.
A thick fire ray attacked Jai Veer; Jai Veer blocked it with his sword, but the fire ray was so powerful that Jai Veer struggled to stop the attack.
On the other hand, Anmol Ratan starts pushing the fire ray harder. Suddenly, Jai Veer got pushed back due to the increased power of the fire ray and got some minor injuries from the fire ray as he had already managed to drain out a lot of the power of the fire ray, so he did not get any major injuries.
Anmol Ratan thought, "This boy is not only good at swordsmanship but also at other things," then said, "Let's see now, how will you stop this attack of mine, 360 Swords Showering?"
In all four directions, the swords appeared in the air around Jai Veer and started attacking toward Jai Veer.
"Ah! The swords are attacking from four directions, and these numbers, I normally couldn't block them with a sword," Jai Veer thought as he looked at the swords. Then he suddenly smirked a little and held his sword with both hands, pointing it towards the ground.
Thud!!!
"Sword Shield 10x" Jai Veer used a secret technique that created a circular shield.
"Haha! This guy thinks he can block my attack again with an 8-star Jagruti stage against a 9-star Jagruti stage," he thought and laughed.
The swords started hitting the circular shield from each direction, but each sword, one by one, struggled and disappeared in front of the shield, but not a single sword could make a single crack on the shield, let alone Jai Veer, who was yawning into the shield as if nothing was happening outside.
"Ah! This is making me angry; this boy is acting too much just because he blocked my attack. I won't leave him here without making a mess of him," Anmol Ratan thought in frustration.
"Oh boy! That's it for today; now you are going to be messed up," he said to Jai Veer and thought of using his trump card for this match.
"Oh! So you are going to use your most powerful technique, right?" Jai Veer asked him mockingly.
"Yes, and be ready to be a mess," he said and started using his technique.
"Lion's Claw," Anmol Ratan said, and a big lion's claw appeared in the air in front of him.
The claw was giving off a terrifying aura and was so powerful that Jai Veer, an 8-star Jagruti Stage cultivator, could not handle that attack.
The lion's claw started moving towards Jai Veer; the claw had big, fierce nails and was shining in golden color.
Jai Veer realized that if this attack hit him, he would be badly injured, and he had already used the shield, which consumes a lot of energy.
As the distance between Lion Claw and Jai Veer decreased, all the spectators of the match assumed that the winner would definitely be Anmol Ratan.
"Looks like I have no choice other than using this now to win and enter Aroha Academy to cultivate as soon as possible," Jai Veer thought and decided something.
And then Jai Veer smiled to himself.
A few moments before Jai Veer's match with Anmol Ratan...
"Anvi, after watching so many matches in the last few hours, I have a question in my mind. May I ask??" He asked very politely so that Anvi could answer him.
"Yes! Go ahead," Anvi said after 2-3 seconds but was completely focused on the matches.
"Ah! Ok, so I want to know whether using pills in matches is allowed or not. If allowed, then why haven't I seen anyone using pills to win matches?" he asked her and expected her to answer.
"Yes, as far as I know, using pills is allowed, but you haven't seen anyone using pills because they don't have pills; usually at our young age neither the academy nor our clan provides pills," Anvi first looked at him with a surprised look for a second and then answered.
"I understand... thanks for the answer." Jai Veer thanked her and then started looking at the matches…
Jai Veer took out the grade 3 Tristar pill and ate it.
Immediately after eating that pill,
Jai Veer's cultivation level reached 2-star Siddhi (Spiritual Mastery) with a very dazzling effect around his body, leaving behind the 9-star Jagruti Stage and 1-star Siddhi (Spiritual Mastery).
Jai Veer instantly filled his sword with strong magical energy and easily cut off the lion's claw, which was just a few feet away from killing him.
"Impossible! H- How did you get such a powerful pill?" Anmol Ratan questioned him in a faltering voice.
"Huh! Now, you don't have time to ask anything; go and rest," Jai Veer said and attacked him with magical energy from a distance with his sword.
Jai Veer's attack was so powerful that Anmol Ratan tried his best to stop him, but in the end he got badly injured by the attack and fell on the ground.
"Jai Veer is the winner of the 17th match of Arena 3 between Jai Veer and Anmol Ratan," the teacher of Arena 3 announced.
Jai Veer came out of the arena and stood beside Anvi in the crowd.
"Hmmm... Congratulations! From now on you will be a student of our Aaroha Academy; good job, Veer," she congratulated him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Anvi," Jaiveer said to her and fell unconscious on Anvi's shoulder.
"Huh!? What!? What happened to him?" Anvi said in complete surprise and shock expression and tone.
Anvi took him to the medical camp of Aaroha Academy immediately.
"Sir, look at him. What happened to him? He suddenly fainted," she asked the medical in-charge teacher with a worried expression.
The medical in-charge teacher checked Jai Veer through magical powers and said "Don't worry, he just fainted because he exceeded the limit of his cultivation level, he will soon recover and wake up."
"Oh! Thanks for your help in his health assessment," she thanked the teacher.
An hour later,
"Huh!? Did I faint? Right after the match?" Jai Veer slowly opened his eyes and thought.
"Ah! So you finally woke up, Veer," Anvi said, who was sitting on a chair next to Jai Veer.
"Anvi, how long has it been since I fainted?" Jai Veer, he asked her in a low voice.
"Just for one and a half hours, since you are awake now, I should leave now; take care of yourself." Anvi stood up to leave the camp.
"Oh! "Okay, thank you for your help, Anvi," Jai Veer thanked her with a light smile.
"It's okay, but you must recover quickly and be ready for three months of hunting in the forest," she told him and walked out.
"Ah! As expected, the effect of the Tristar Pill is exactly like my father told me before he went on a journey to the ancient underwater dungeon with Mother," Jai Veer sighed and thought.
"Now, I am at the 8-star Jagruti stage again; I should try to reach the next stage during these three months of hunting in the forest," he thought and decided to set his goal for the next stage within the next three months.
Jai Veer sat up from the lying-down posture to the cultivation posture and started regaining his energy and healing his injuries.
