The Federation Academy Tournament transformed the central floating arena into a grand spectacle of power, magic, and cross-species rivalry. Thousands of spectators filled the colossal amphitheatres, while floating projection crystals broadcasted the matches across hundreds of star systems. High-ranking Federation generals, ancient elven elders, and dwarven high-smiths sat in the VIP platforms, their sharp eyes assessing the next generation of powerhouses.
The preliminary rounds were designed to quickly weed out the weak through intense, high-speed survival clashes. Sonu was placed in Group A, a arena containing fifty participants—human military cadets, armored dwarf vanguard fighters, and agile elven archers—all fighting simultaneously for only two advancing spots.
The moment the barrier dropped, chaos erupted. Spells exploded, earth-shattering war cries filled the air, and tamed beasts of various sizes charged into battle.
Sonu stood dead-center in the arena, his hands resting casually in his pockets.
A heavy-armored dwarven warrior riding a dual-headed Dire Bear targeted Sonu, seeing him standing alone. "Human, off the field!" the dwarf roared, as the beast leaped forward, its massive claws glowing with earth magic.
Sonu didn't even look at them.
With a gentle tap of his foot on the stone arena, a blinding wave of light burst forth as the Gladehart materialized. Its pristine white coat gleamed with ethereal mana, and its antlers flared with a bright emerald brilliance.
Whoosh!
The Gladehart executed a flawless Speed Boost, turning into a blur of light. It effortlessly dodged the Dire Bear's crushing blow, looped behind the massive beast, and slammed its forehead forward with a precise, mana-infused Wild Charge. The shockwave hit the Dire Bear like a battering ram, launching both the massive beast and its rider straight over the arena boundary wall.
Before the remaining thirty contestants could process what happened, a squad of high-elf rangers tried to surround Sonu from above, raining down enchanted arrows.
Sonu raised a single hand. A surge of raw, multi-elemental mana flared around him, stopping the arrows mid-air before shattering them into harmless dust. Within three minutes, without Sonu ever taking a step or casting a high-tier lethal spell, the Gladehart's ridiculous 7,000 Speed stat allowed it to clean up the remaining contestants, knocking them out of bounds one by one.
The preliminary round was over. Sonu stepped off the stage without a single speck of dust on his uniform.
While Sonu rested in the high-tier waiting lounge, the tournament continued with intense violence and skill.
In Group C, an elven princess utilizing a majestic Divine Moon Hawk dismantled an entire squad of dwarven mechanists, her beast's lunar beams piercing through heavy enchanted armor as if it were paper. In Group F, a brutal Orc Warlord's blood-bound Iron-Hide Rhino literally trampled through five high-ranking human military cadets simultaneously, causing the audience to roar in excitement.
The instructors and grandmasters on the VIP platforms discussed the rising stars in hushed, analytical tones, taking careful note of every participant's bloodline abilities and tactical depth.
The Quarter-Finals arrived quickly. Sonu's opponent was a renowned beast-tamer from the northern forest clans—a proud wolf-kin warrior who commanded a Gale Wolf, a Level 120 beast famed for its sound-barrier-breaking speed and sharp wind blades that could tear through steel.
"I won't let a human look down on my clan!" the wolf-kin shouted, pointing his bone spear at Sonu.
The Gale Wolf howled, its body transforming into a green hurricane that zoomed around the arena at terrifying speeds, creating dozens of wind-afterimages to confuse the target.
Sonu remained unfazed. Silver light flashed around him as he summoned one of his Tyrant Trees.
BOOM!
The massive, ancient wood entity crashed onto the stage. Standing at Level 150 with a staggering 2,000,000 HP and a towering structure, its very presence made the entire stadium shake.
"A... a plant-type beast?" the wolf-kin stammered, taken aback. "Speed is your weakness!"
The Gale Wolf zipped forward, executing a barrage of high-speed wind cuts against the tree's massive trunk.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparkling gusts echoed, but the Tyrant Tree's colossal 10,000 DEF meant the attacks barely scratched its outer bark. The tiny hitpoints lost were instantly regenerated by its high innate mana regen and minor healing passives.
"My turn," Sonu said softly.
The Tyrant Tree's eyes glowed with dark greenish energy. Dozens of thick, venom-laced Vines shot out from the ground like python-like whips, instantly sealing off every vector of movement in the arena. The Gale Wolf tried to dodge, but the density of the vine domain was overwhelming. Within seconds, the wolf was caught, paralyzed by a mild dose of Poison, and hoisted harmlessly into the air, completely immobilized.
The referee stood frozen for a second before raising his hand. "Winner: Sonu!"
Up in the VIP seating, several Federation military generals stood up from their chairs, their eyes wide open.
"A Level 150 Tyrant Tree?!" an elven elder gasped, clutching her wooden staff. "Where did a human cadet manage to contract a beast with that level of vitality and defensive stat? It didn't even use a fraction of its true power!"
The Semi-Finals brought an entirely different level of tension. Sonu walked onto the central ring to face the tournament's absolute favorite—a proud dragon-knight cadet from the Dragon-Blood Sanctuaries, commanding an elder Infernal Drake.
The Infernal Drake was a Level 110 flying beast carrying pure dragon bloodline energy. Its scales burned with intense red flames that melted the arena stone just by standing on it, and its massive wings generated terrifying heatwaves.
"Your giant tree won't save you here, Sonu!" the dragon-knight yelled arrogantly, mounting his beast. "My Infernal Drake's dragon fire incinerates all nature-attribute life!"
The drake roared, launching itself high into the sky and raining down a torrential firestorm that covered the entire arena floor.
"He's right... nature types stand no chance against pure dragon fire!" a spectator shouted from the stands.
"Is he going to lose here?" another instructor whispered nervously.
Sonu didn't summon his trees. Instead, a small, elegant flash of silver light appeared on his shoulder.
The Void Fox landed gently, its three fluffy tails swaying as spatial energy rippled around its body.
Level 40.
"A fox?" The dragon-knight laughed from the sky. "You're fighting a dragon bloodline with a tiny pet fox?"
Sonu's eyes remained cold. "Use Fold Step."
Whoosh!
Space itself folded instantly like a piece of paper. In a split second, Sonu and the Void Fox vanished from the burning ground and reappeared high in the air, directly behind the flying Infernal Drake's head.
The dragon-knight's laughter died in his throat. "WHAT?!"
"Blink," Sonu commanded.
The Void Fox flashed forward, teleporting directly onto the Drake's back. Its Spatial Law Bloodline flared, activating its Law Resonance passive. Sonu felt his own space-attribute mastery jump by 20%, allowing him to channel a massive spatial shockwave directly through his hand into the drake's neck.
BOOM!
The spatial pressure shattered the Infernal Drake's dragon-scale barrier, forcing the massive beast to screech in pain as it plummeted straight out of the sky, crashing hard into the arena floor below.
The heat faded, the dragon lay dazed and pinned under space distortion, and the dragon-knight was thrown off, thoroughly defeated.
Silence descended upon the entire stadium.
Teachers, grandmasters, generals, and foreign students stared at the young human cadet in absolute shock.
"Spatial Law..." the head Federation representative muttered, his hands trembling slightly as he stared at the little three-tailed fox resting back on Sonu's shoulder. "A Level 40 beast possessing pure Spatial Law mastery... and he coordinated a spatial swap mid-air?!"
"Who is this kid?!" an elven grandmaster exclaimed, leaning over the balcony. "He hasn't even used half his strength!"
Sonu calmly stroked the Void Fox's head as the little creature let out a proud, soft purr. He looked toward the final stage wall where the last remaining opponent awaited him.
The tournament was practically already his.
