C129 Strong as a Forest
Day in the morning!
The first ray of sunlight had just arrived at the Great Land when all the participants of the competition were already prepared. Under the lead of their respective supervisory envoys, they headed towards the military camp of Dongfang City.
Along the way, the people welcomed them from different directions, giving cheers and fresh flowers to these heroes from all over the world.
As Du Zhongtian's position among the ten envoys was lower, he could only bring Luo Tongtian and the others to the back. When Van Wen, Deng Zhen, and the other envoys led their candidates out, they all cast disdainful looks at them.
"These detestable bastards, I will definitely let you know how powerful they are."
How could Du Zhongtian endure such contempt? He was so angry that his face turned extremely pale.
"Don't worry, Envoy Du. They won't be able to stay here for long."
Luo Tongtian patted his shoulder and comforted him in a soft voice.
At this moment, the people of Green Bamboo City set off. The one leading them was a green-robed female envoy.
The cute little loli in the group was extremely cute and attracted everyone's attention.
However, the little loli didn't pay attention to all of this. Instead, she stared fixedly at Luo Tongtian and blinked her eyes.
"Hey, big guy, you're ranked behind me. You're definitely not my match in a fight. Just wait for me to eliminate you." The little loli shouted at Luo Tongtian in a childish voice.
"Ah, if you can defeat me, I'll treat you to mutton skewers!"
Facing the surprised gazes of the surrounding people, Luo Tongtian said with a bitter smile.
"Alright, you're not allowed to renege."
When the little loli heard this, her eyes lit up.
Looking at her departing figure, Luo Tongtian suddenly felt that his mood was very sunny.
"Hey, this is also your relationship?"
Grey Vulture had always been tactless, but now he could not help but tease her.
"It can't be. How can it be so small?"
When Hu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's a dog that can't spit out ivory."
Luo Tongtian rolled his eyes at Grey Vulture and shouted.
"Brat, did you talk about your sore spot?"
Grey Vulture saw his flustered look and could not help but call out proudly.
"You are really poor. I really regret taking the risk to save you."
Luo Tongtian smiled bitterly and deliberately provoked Grey Vulture.
"Tsk, I regret saving you. I, Grey Vulture, am famous, but I am here to be your bodyguard. It is not fair." Grey Vulture heard this and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay. We should go."
Luo Youyou saw the two of them were fighting like roosters and quickly changed the topic.
As the saying goes, when you are in trouble, you can see true love!
Don't look at how Luo Tongtian and Grey Vulture usually bickered and scolded each other, it seemed very disharmonious.
But it was precisely because of their experiences in Earth Temple that they were able to display their true selves so brazenly. Furthermore, after the two of them bickered, they would definitely not hold a grudge. This was a friendship of life and death.
Although the relationship between Hu Yang and Luo Tongtian was very stable, it was slightly inferior compared to the former.
This... The two people who were fighting like chickens just now started to stick together again after they started their journey.
"You have to be careful of a few people in this competition. One of them is Van Wu from Huangjin City, the second one is that little girl called Yu from Green Bamboo City, the third one is Fei Ran from Tianfeng City, and the last one is Tian Xing from Dingjun City."
As they were moving forward, Grey Vulture told Luo Tongtian about the experts he had noticed.
"The four of them have extraordinary combat strength. They are indeed the strongest amongst the nine grade two cities."
"However, you have forgotten about the Dongfang City itself. There will be four experts participating in this competition. The weakest among the four of them is on par with Van Wu and the others. It can be said to be the hottest topic in this competition."
Du Zhongtian heard the conversation between the two of them and couldn't help but sigh.
"There is such a powerful figure?"
When Luo Tongtian heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a curious expression.
"Of course, we have advanced from the Second Grade City, so our cultivation resources are extremely limited. It's virtually impossible to defeat the four super experts that the Dongfang City spent a huge amount of resources to nurture."
"However, as long as we can get a good ranking in this competition and suppress the other participants from the Second Grade City, that will be our greatest victory."
Du Zhongtian didn't want to dampen Luo Tongtian's enthusiasm, so he casually comforted him.
"Hehe, I want to meet these geniuses from the Dongfang City."
Luo Tongtian smiled, and a thought flashed across his mind.
When they arrived at the No.1 military drill ground of Dongfang City, they were shocked by the grand scene in front of them.
There was a sea of people here, and Ma Loong's carriage was filled with a crazy aura.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators had gathered from all directions, and they all wanted to watch the battle between the elites of Dongfang City. Even though thirty thousand elite soldiers had set up a precise line of defense here, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of these spectators.
Under the guidance of the attendants, the participating members went into the waiting area to rest.
On the stage, a shocking drum sound rang out. Eighteen heaven-shaking drum sounds rang out, signifying the start of the competition. The military drill grounds that contained hundreds of thousands of people immediately let out crazy cries.
At this moment, a group of nine people walked onto the platform.
The leader was a white-faced, beardless man. He was the city lord of Dongfang City!
As for the remaining eight people, Luo Tongtian actually knew two of them. One of them was the commander-in-chief, Cui Hong, who had just been violated by Luo Tongtian last night. The other one looked like Young Master Deng, obviously his father. He was the current patriarch of Deng family, and he was also a powerful figure in Dongfang City.
Lord of Dongfang City exchanged a glance with a middle-aged man beside him. He took a step forward to welcome the guests and celebrate the competition. He also wished that all the contestants who participated in the competition could display their full strength.
His voice was loud and clear, causing everyone to feel a sense of resonance when they heard it.
Immediately after, the middle-aged man beside the City Lord announced the rules of the competition with a solemn tone, as well as the punishment for violating the rules of the competition. He emphasized the first and second place in the rules of the competition.
After these procedures were completed, the patriarch of Deng family announced as the Chief Referee of the competition, The competition has officially begun!
The Dongfang City competition this time was slightly different from the Luoyang City. The four experts of Dongfang City had strong combat strength, strong backgrounds, and all kinds of special privileges. They would only appear in the finals.
The preliminary round, the preliminaries, and the semi-finals were fought by the contestants from the nine second-grade cities. The final four experts were only qualified to fight against the four experts from the Dongfang City, and from there, the four strongest people would be chosen to head to the capital.0
None of the 36 participants were weak. When they came to the stage to draw lots, violent waves of air rolled and surged, causing the world to change color, and the sun and moon to lose their luster.
"En, it can be seen that the quality of the contestants chosen from below is not bad!"
Lord of Dongfang City's gaze swept across the 36 contestants below, and his face revealed a satisfied expression.
"Yeah, my Western Xuan Nation's people all respect martial arts, so the quality of people naturally becomes stronger and stronger. Moreover, the ones we are going to choose this time are officers. How can ordinary people take on such an important task? "
A military bigwig smiled slightly and took over the City Lord's words and said.
"Their quality has indeed improved greatly compared to the past years."
"However, if they want to advance to the top four in Dongfang City and head to the capital, they still can't do it The four spots for the top four of the three consecutive years of competition will be monopolized by our Dongfang City. I think there won't be any deviations this year."
The patriarch of the Deng family was a proud person and held a prejudice against these geniuses from the second grade city.
"Normally, Gao Ling, Deng Hong and the other three should be able to take the top four spots in the Dongfang City, but this also indirectly means that the quality of the geniuses in the outer perimeter of our Dongfang City is still weak. I hope there will be some changes in the situation."
Lord of Dongfang City was a man with great talent and a broad plan. He was thinking about the overall situation, and his thinking was extremely meticulous.
"The City Lord is worried about the quality of people's talents. I really admire it."
"But this time, there are a few people with extraordinary combat strength in the Nine Great Second Grade Cities. For example, Van Wu from Yellow Jin City, Yu from Green Bamboo City, Fei Ran from Tianfeng City, and Tian Xing from Dingjun City..."
Another big shot from the military caught the conversation and nodded at Commander Cui with a smile.
"Especially Luo Tongtian from Luoyang City. He is the descendant of the family of generals. He has a strong spirit and a brave spirit. He is a rare talent."
Commander Cui took the opportunity to build momentum for Luo Tongtian, but it made the face of the patriarch of Deng family darken.
"What descendant of the family of generals? He is just a little adopted son of a collateral general. I think that Cui Jia, who belongs to the Luoyang City, is far more capable than him in all aspects. "
Ever since the patriarch of Deng family found out that the destruction of Black Cloud Sect was related to Luo Tongtian, he had developed a strong hatred towards him.
Fortunately, he didn't know that the huge sect was destroyed by Luo Tongtian alone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have underestimated his opponent.
Lord of Dongfang City saw that the two of them had different opinions, so he naturally changed the topic and mentioned the rewards for the top four. When everyone heard this, they all revealed excited expressions.
