Now there was just William and Hammed on the arena. The moment the elders authorized the start of the match, William already circulated his bloodline and summoned its power.

He grew half a head taller and is horns turned into a scarlet color, however they didn't change in size. And strong and hot scarlet flames circulated around his body.

He looked at Hammed and said " Why didn't you summoning your punny bloodline? I hope you do in while you have a chance."

Hammed looked at him and said in a serious tone "You're not worthy of battling against my bloodline." Although Hammed didn't demonstrate in the completion early, his fighting capabilities already were in another level. That because the first third of the Sacred Scripture of Creation focused in gathering and accumulating the purest and thickest earthly essence possible. So his essence was very superior to his peers's essence at the same realm.

As Willian heard this, the flame around him exploded and flew forwards. Hammed just snorted and summoned a giant elemental sword that sliced his flames in half, opening a way through the flames. Then, with just a flap of his wings and the effect of his cultivation in the time and space element, he arrived in front of William in a second.

Then, in a ruthless manner, he struck a heavy kick right at William's chest and breaking sounds could be heard as William was sent flying and opened a giant hole in the wall behind.

Then Hammed just turned back and started to leave. However, as he turned, a slash could be seen from the hole as a strike of condensed essence of fire flew at Hammed's back.

It was obvious that William was dishonest and used a spirit artifact to attack Hammed behind his back. Sensing that the incoming flames were to fast to dodge, he just placed his hand on his sword shaft and pulled it a bit up to protect his head.

As the flames got in contact with the sword, the dragon inscription lighted up and swallowed the flames and shout a green flash at William. When he got hit by it, blood flew from his mouth and he past out.

Seeing the finish of the battle, the Great Elders announced Hammed as the winner and them finished the competition. They reunited all the nine youth that were awake and told them to prepare to go to the secret realm in three days.

As Hammed, Rafael and Leonard reunited again, those two were very happy as they said "Bro, we were so lucky. Each one of us got 150 Peak Earthly Essence stones from the Betting House since we betted in you." Then they said "Here is 100 of them from you" and passed the stones to Hammed.

Since they were giving those stones to his with sincerity, Hammed accepted them and said "Thank you for these stones, I think that with these and the resources we got from the ruins, we'll be in the Mid Essence Plane Realm in no time."

After talking for some time, the trio headed to the Core courtyard to get their new personal courtyards. They chose courtyards placed beside each other. Then they went to their own rooms to prepare for the trip to the secret realm in three days.

...

In his room, Hammed started to analyze his bloodline and techniques. Then he sat down and placed 10 Peak Earthly Essence stones in a formation around him and started to cultivate. This was a formation he saw in the Sacred Scripture of Creation that was useful for cultivation.

As he repeated this process through the next three days, he fell that he was at the peak of the Mid Essence Plane Realm, and met a bottleneck.
