The waves swayed, raising the water high into the air. Klaus halted his advance and waited for the abomination hiding within the depths to make its appearance. He could sense it—very strong, very large—and from the waves alone, he knew he was about to have a good fight. He was excited. The waters splashed, sending a shockwave that blasted the ice coating the water. Klaus was pushed back, but fortunately, he remained within the confines of the Ice Lotus. He stood his ground—well, more like he stood on his ice—as he watched the colossal abomination emerge from beneath the surface. The first thing he noticed was the rows of jagged, razor-sharp teeth lining the colossal maw of the crocodile's head. There were countless teeth, intimidating to behold. Klaus observed the crocodile's head and frowned. 'It's rising,' he thought inwardly. The crocodile's head began to rise above the raging surface of the water. Its colossal green neck followed, matching the head in size. Then a muscular frame appeared. The front legs that were supposed to allow it to crawl had transformed into hands, now ending in razor-sharp claws. It rose to waist level, and its roar sent torrents of waves crashing from its maw. "Maw of the Abyss," Klaus muttered, frowning. His mind was instantly reinforced by the [Sage Mind] and [Unbreakable Min] techniques. He had fought this monster before, back in the Tormented World. He and Yuying had one time gone to kill a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox so Yuying could steal her bloodline. One of its guards had been a Maw of the Abyss. It was a demon back then, very powerful. However, he was also a Saint at that time, so the battle had been a quick and decisive one. Now, he is a mere Master stage expert If the monster before him was anything like the one he had fought before, he knew he was in trouble. That time, he had Yuying by his side. "Damn it..." Klaus cursed, putting away his sword as a spear appeared in his hand. "No Annihilation Ice this time; gotta do it the old-fashioned way," he thought, his grip tightening on the two-meter spear. "It actually worked," Klaus sighed, gazing at the 5-meter body of the slain beast. It was considerably taller from the waist up than below. Moving past it, Klaus approached the Sage Eye and placed his hand on it. The moment his hand touched it, Cephas spoke. "Congratulations, Disciple Klaus, you have emerged as the winner of this year's Genius Gathering competition." Klaus nodded, and then his vision darkened. The next second, he was back in the gaming chair, everyone staring at him. Awe, shock, anger—and most of all, hatred—filled their eyes, though there were a few concerned looks from Hanna, Anna, and Lily. Klaus sighed. "I'm okay," he said, not wanting to get into things yet. He'd already sensed the gaze of three people watching him from the other room. Only a glass wall separated them, but he could feel their killing intent aimed squarely at him. Clearly, Ella, Ethan, and Max hadn't learned their lessons yet; they wanted more. Klaus was fine with that. Killing them now would solve a lot of future problems. "Everyone, gather around!" Cephas's voice suddenly cut through the crowd, granting the three Legacies another day to live. They could die tomorrow if they want. Klaus's mind wasn't in the best place right now; he needed to meditate. If not for the Mad Berserker Red Tiger Core, he wouldn't have bothered competing in this trial. Of course, he could have gone hunting for it himself, but that would've been a waste, so he decided to kill two birds with one stone. Cephas addressed the group, and five minutes later, a case containing the core was handed to Klaus under the jealous gaze of many. As for the other rewards, everyone would receive them the next day, which was also the final day. The trial had ended faster than most expected. Klaus left with his friends, and soon he was back in his room, where he immediately entered a meditative state. For the next few hours, no one disturbed him. When night came, however, Anna and Lily entered his room. Klaus was still meditating, so they didn't interrupt. Three hours later, he opened his eyes. It was time for some apologies and damage control.
