He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 481. Runesmith competition 1

Arrie was seated in the VIP section of the contestants. She was part of the healers who would be representing the Tian Xu Empire.

The moment Kailen stepped out, a confident smile blossomed on her face.

"Show them what you are made of, Kai," Arrie thought.

A fellow healer who would be participating in the competition with her couldn't help but notice the expression on her face. All of a sudden, she turned to look at Kailen too.

She thought Arrie was just a dreamboat who was fantasizing about Kailen.

"If you think someone like you can be with someone like Kailen Darkhaven, you are just dreaming," she said, glancing at Arrie scornfully.

Arrie didn't even spare her a glance. Some nuisances didn't deserve her attention.

As for the lady, she was planning on approaching Kailen Darkhaven after the competitions were over and asking him out. Maybe they could even spice things up later? Her cheeks flushed just at the mere thought.

She was one of the beautiful first-year students of the Tian Xu Empire Academy, and was a very proficient healer. And she had many men flocking towards her all the time in the academy. She was confident she would manage to steal his heart.

Several competitors from the Tian Xu Empire looked at her and sighed.

What was wrong with this lady?

Didn't she know that Kailen Darkhaven was in a relationship with Arrie Hall?

However, no one decided to butt in or attempt to correct her. This lady had a very nasty personality and everyone hated her. Her healing skills, however, were exceptional, so she almost always got away with every nonsense she pulled, even to the point of being made the first representative of the healing squad for the competition.

But they couldn't wait to see the expression on her face when she found out that Arrie, the person whose healing skills she was looking down on, was actually the fiancée of the person she was so eager to be with.

As for Arrie, she simply shook her head.

"Just because I have not challenged her position as the first-ranked healer amongst the first years, she's still looking down on me, huh?" She mused further to herself. "I wonder how she will feel when she finds out that through Kailen's guidance last night, after we spent some intimate time together, I managed to break through to the rank 1 beginner stage galactic level."

Her eyes returned to the competition.

"The rules are simple.

Each one of you will make runes, and the rune appraisal array hovering above the competition grounds will announce the results. Your rune skill proficiency will determine your placement in the rank, whether you are the winner, a runner-up, and so forth. Also, there are runes in the stadium that block anyone from communicating with any participants. This is to prevent anyone from their empire from rendering them any assistance. This is to ensure fairness in all competitions. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Begin."

The host announced.

Several eyes landed on Henry Crudes. This was the fellow from the Tian Xu Empire that had bested the Astral Empire the last time.

He was now a rank 1 runesmith. What was he going to pull?

Henry's expression was calm. He was not here to joke. He wanted to get this done quickly.

Like almost every other competitor, a lot was at stake here. If the Tian Xu Empire lost the runesmith competition, they would lose the opportunity to obtain quality runesmithery resources from the Secondary Carrier Alliance Headquarters in the low-tier civilizations. This would affect the rise of their empire in the next 200 years. He had to go all out.

His hands moved with elegance. Several runic alphabets shimmered to life. The runic alphabets converged together into a sophisticated rune. The rune glowed with ephemeral light.

Then, a ginormous runic elephant, pulsing with ephemeral light, emerged from the rune.

"Such speed, and control. I wonder what his rune skill proficiency will be," many said and thought.

Just then, the announcement rang as a large holographic screen that blotted out the sky appeared above the competition grounds.

[Henry Crudes, rank 1 runesmith from Tian Xu Empire. Rune skill proficiency, 89.4 percent. Placement undecided. Awaiting results of other competitors.]

Henry had a satisfied expression on his face.

He had done all he could. He was confident that the results he had obtained would outshine that of everyone in the competition.

The higher-ups from the runesmith association of the Tian Xu Empire were pleased with the outcome of things. From their faces, it seemed they were confident that no one would be able to overcome his level of results.

"It looks like we are at least claiming the prize of the champion for the runesmith competition this year," the leader of the Runesmith Association of the Tian Xu Empire said.

The other higher-ups from the other empires ignored them, focused on what the participants from their empires were doing at the moment.

The audience, however, were in an uproar at the results.

"This guy is a monster. He's even more powerful than the lady rumored to have a rune skill proficiency of 88 percent."

"I don't think anyone will be able to outshine this result."

"Look. It's the guy from the Vatican Empire! Chris Sung."

Chris Sung stood calmly, completely unfazed. He had done everything he could for his empire.

"I've done all I can. I'm sure a win is secured," he thought.

He was not being overconfident. A rune skill proficiency of 89.9 percent, which he had, was unheard of. He was just stating facts, in his opinion.

A floating robe hovered above the ground. It shimmered with ethereal and complicated runes. It seemed Chris Sung had inscribed a rune on the robe.

Suddenly, the large holographic screen hovering above the stadium revealed his results.

[Chris Sung, rank 1 runesmith from the Vatican Empire. Rune skill proficiency, 89.9 percent. Placement undecided. Awaiting results of other competitors.]

Many, including the higher-ups from the other empires, sucked in breaths of cold air. Except those from the Astral Empire.

As for the higher-ups from the Tian Xu Empire, they literally felt like their faces were burning. They felt like taking their statement earlier back. But they had just been slapped in the face.

Old Ha, Li, and Rin found it extremely funny.

As for the higher-ups from the Vatican Empire, they were calm, as if this result was to be expected.

Turns out the Vatican Empire didn't want to disgrace themselves as the host.

This participant from the Vatican Empire was a prodigy, the spectators thought.

A rune skill proficiency of 89.9 percent was literally a rune skill proficiency of 90 percent. This was simply unprecedented.

Where had the Vatican Empire been hiding this prodigy?

Just then, someone said, "Look, it's Kailen Darkhaven. It seems he's starting to act."

"Since the runesmith and alchemy association honored their end of the deal, time to do my part," Kailen mused to himself.
