God's Eyes
Chapter 556 - Liberation Tournament
The mansion was filled with higher-ups of the Olympus federation and their children who were extremely talented according to their own beliefs.
However, Jason couldn't even focus on anyone with his Emperor Eyes because the human powerhouses, including Merl Arths had turned him into an unofficial interpreter and were asking him to translate everything to help them converse with the foreign races.
'That's why I told you guys to learn the universal language!!' He shouted inwardly, only to glare at Merl, who was laughing after Jason had translated what the dragonewt in front of them had said.
Taking a deep breath, Jason realised that he had to give his best to help mankind to strengthen ties with the Olympus federation, and the best way to do so was to help them communicate with each other well.
It was annoying to translate but he could de-escalate situations by conveying the proper message instead of allowing Merl or the others to use their broken universal language skills to say something they didn't mean.
Jason had not even realized that a few hours had passed in which he had acted as an interpreter and helped the human embassy members interact with all kinds of higher-ups of the Olympus federations by negating the language barrier.
This was looked at weirdly by the foreign races that clearly understood the meaning of Jason's faintly glowing stigma and the aura radiating from him.
He had also heard many groups gossiping about him because seeing him mediate conversations between two different races had made them curious about him.
Unfortunately, it was difficult to approach him at the moment because he was acting as the human race's interpreter. It was important to make a good first impression on the other races and he couldn't neglect the responsibility.
Only somewhat later did a middle-aged dragonewt arrive who was surprisingly able to converse in the human language quite well.
The man was able to speak in several dozen languages because learning them was his interest and the hobby that allowed him to relax the most.
To Jason's surprise, the old man offered to take over Jason's role which the human embassy accepted.
Despite that, Jason remained with his group in order to see whether the dragonewt was doing his job well or not.
Fortunately, that was the case, and seeing him free of his temporary interpreter duties emboldened others to try to approach him, trying to figure out who he was and why he was with the human race.
Even though his appearance was that of a human, the stigma and aura said otherwise.
As such, some races assumed that Jason belonged to some sort of a grand, or superior race that was able to transform into different lifeforms.
Less than an hour after the dragonewt had replaced him as an interpreter, Jason had been surrounded by a few higher-ups of the Olympus race who tried to approach him with ulterior motives.
It was uncomfortable, and Jason tried to find a way out without coming across as rude. His eyes lit up when he spotted a group of young men and women from different types of races.
He separated from his old group and approached the Ilian he had gotten to know during his last battle in the colosseum; Jarid.
Through his Emperor Eyes, Jason knew that Jarid had gotten the hang of efficiently utilizing his thunder constitution with one seal unlocked.
This was great and allowed him to exert much more strength, while Jason could only hope that their next fight would become much more exciting than their last.
While walking towards Jarid, Jason passed by the Olympian group from the colosseum, but they didn't seem to remember him.
Jason had been surprised a little, only to remember that nobody should have been able to imprint his mana fluctuations into their mind, let alone see his face as he had worn a mask inside the colosseum the entire time.
Thus, he released some mana into his eyes while lifting his hand to envelop it in black flames for a second.
Jarid, who had fought against Jason for the longest duration amongst all other opponents, had already assumed the young man in front of them to be the silver-dragon masked man.
It was simply too obvious.
He knew that the man behind the silver dragon mask had been a human due to several factors, while Jason's golden-silverish eyes, aura, and stigma had been extremely familiar to Jarid.
As such, the black flames had only been the last hint that had caused Jarid to be certain about his assumption.
Because of that, he couldn't help but smile lightly.
They didn't know each other very well, but both felt as if they were acquaintances, almost like friends, owing to the fight they had in the colosseum.
Understanding each other's mindset and the fact that neither liked holding back was enough to make two prodigies respect each other.
This was something only true competitors could understand in the face of rivals that were worthy of each other's attention.
Thus, they shared a bond of understanding between them.
When Jason reached the group, he introduced himself once again before they started to talk with each other.
Knowing that Jarid could have easily deciphered who he was, exposing his identity as the silver-dragon masked man was nothing he should be cautious about.
Even if everyone were to know his identity, it wouldn't make a difference because he had grown a lot as almost three months had passed since his winning streak of 50 at the colosseum.
Other than the Olympians, there were more prodigies who were as talented as Jarid, but none of them caught Jason's interest.
Since not only his individual strength but that of his soulbonds had increased as well, Jason knew that his physical strength was exceptional as long as Petri occupied his mana core.
His youngest soulbond might have only been at the 5th Lique stage, but he had cultivated in the path of primordial energy.
Because of that, one couldn't underestimate the 100% amplification of a beast at the 5th Lique stage as it increased his physical strength drastically, adding to Jason's already powerful physique.
In the end, even those at the 9th Lique stage would be wary of his physical appearance!
The New Year's Eve banquet was wrapped up not long after Jason had encountered Jarid, and they had mostly spoken about the liberation tournament that was about to start in a few hours.
Through that, Jason got to know the most commonly used structure of the tournament with a few tips that only a few knew about.
Furthermore, Jarid and the other Olympians who thought highly of Jason's combat prowess had praised many talented prodigies who had barely made the cut that allowed them to participate in the liberation tournament.
They were almost too old but had managed to tick all the boxes while being as talented as Jarid.
As such, it was obvious how strong they were, and only Jarid's unique constitution made the young Olympian even more talented than the others, whom barely a few had known until three months ago.
Apparently, the strongest participants had the combat prowess that barely reached the Prismar stage, and even that was already said to be exaggerated.
However, instead of thinking that the rumors were exaggerated, Jason took them at face value.
It was not unlikely for a few individuals to have reached a high cultivation base as long as they had been provided with enough resources along with the broken world as an environment to cultivate in.
However, their cultivation base was probably not everything because one required exceptional combat prowess that was based on great martial art techniques with high proficiency, high combat experience, and the possibility of possessing unique traits in addition to inborn talent to fight while being pressured!
Jason, for example, could advance while being under tremendous pressure.
It helped his brain to process information and arrive at decisions at a rapid pace, breaking through tricky situations while certain abilities might even improve under the pressure that would normally weigh him down.
Thus, Jason looked forward to fight against opponents who were said to be as strong as an average individual at the Prismar stage, and the few hours before the liberation tournament started passed quickly!
