C223 The Competition Begins
"Eh, isn't that the good-for-nothing brother of Du's family?"
"Yeah, I heard that he was sent to a declining second-grade city to select talents. Why is he here?"
A wave of exclamations sounded from the crowd. It could be seen that Du Zhongtian's reputation as a good-for-nothing had already spread throughout the entire capital.
"There's something you don't know. That fellow was really lucky this time. He met a talent with excellent talent in the Second Grade city called Luo Tongtian. That person was able to kill a martial arts expert when he was a Rank Eight Warrior."
"That's right. He passed all the obstacles along the way, and finally advanced to the top four of the Dongfang City as a strong warrior of the Tenth Grade. The people who advanced at the same time as him were all at the Fifth Grade to the Seventh Grade."
A royal family member who knew the inside story told everyone in a serious manner.
"What? There's actually such a talent?"
"So what? A puny Level Ten Warrior being able to reach this place is already the peak."
"That's right. Dongfang City was originally the weakest of the twelve First Grade cities under the command of the Western King City. This time, it actually allowed a puny tenth grade warrior to advance to the top four. This joke is really a little too much."
"I heard that the talents selected from the First Grade City this time are all pretty good. Most of them are Fifth to Ninth Grade Martial Artists. It's rumored that Tie Kun, Beiluo, and Kai Yuan City even have a Spirit Warrior among the top four cities that have advanced to the next level."
" Although these cities are powerful, they are still not a match for the Great Fortune City or even the King City. "
After hearing the rumors about Luo Tongtian advancing to the top ten, some of them were shocked, some were disdainful, some were mocking him, and some even threw cold water on him.
"Such a genius is originally the kind of person who is extremely talented. As long as he raises his strength in the future, won't he be able to shine brightly in King's City?"
"That's right. I believe that there will be many factions fighting over such a talent, right?"
"What's there to fight for? He was selected by that brat, Du Zhongtian. He has long been roped into Du Guechang's faction. Who would dare to go to the tiger's den to pick his teeth?"
Speaking up to this point, everyone came to a sudden realization.
In everyone's eyes, Luo Tongtian was already a subordinate of Guest Warrior Du.
With this huge backing, Luo Tongtian's status and identity would naturally be greatly improved.
After all preparations were halted, a vigorous bell rang in the sky!
Twelve ancient bells sounded, indicating the splendor of the heavens and the spirits of mankind.
Following that, six huge bronze thrones appeared in front of the main seat. On the thrones sat a few imposing and awe-inspiring Supreme Almighty that was as shocking as a celestial being.
The clouds above their heads, the divine rings on their feet, their eyes were like the rules as they breathed in and out the clouds. Each and every one of their actions possessed the ability to shake the heavens and split the earth, causing the surrounding people to feel a kind of pressure that came from the bottom of their hearts.
"All contestants, go to the front of the stage and be inspected!"
After the official hosting the competition asked the few almighty experts for instructions, he announced it in front of everyone.
Under the guidance of the attendant, the forty-eight participants all came to the stage and bowed to the major powers.
In order to display their strength in front of the major powers, all of them used their full strength to raise their auras, causing the weather to change between heaven and earth. The sun and moon lost their luster, and a powerful airflow instantly swept across the entire audience.
"Mm, the talent selected this time is quite good!"
"Yeah, I hope they can complete the mission of invading the Devil Spirit."
As the few almighty experts communicated with each other, numerous lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere in the sky.
"This time, the few little fellows in Grand Illustration City are not bad. The strongest ones, Gong Yang and Hua Yishen, have also reached the realm of spirit cultivators. It seems to be a good choice to take them under my command."
A mighty figure slowly nodded his head and said.
"Spirit cultivators are not rare. I think the little guy who came from Dongfang City and defeated a rank 4 martial artist with only a rank 10 warrior has more potential."
"Hehe, we'll know who's stronger and who's weaker after trying."
The powerful man in the middle slowly opened his mouth and ended the exchange of their thoughts.
"The Military Department Grand Competition begins now!"
Under the instructions of the higher-being, the host let out a thunderous roar toward the audience.
In the next moment, a jade token appeared in front of all the competitors. This was the battle sign that the almighty expert used his supreme magical power to randomly draw for them.
The forty-eight contestants took out their elemental energy and lightly touched the jade token in front of them. With a popping sound, a line of words appeared after the jade token was broken. The battle situation of the first round of the contestants was recorded on it.
"Luo Tongtian of Dongfang City versus Tie Gang of Iron Kun City!"
Luo Tongtian looked at the words in front of him. His expression remained extremely calm.
Before the battle, Luo Tongtian had read the information of the contestants from Arcplan.
He knew that Tie Gang was a rank 6 martial artist. Not only was he ranked fourth among the four contestants in Iron Kun City, but he was also at the bottom even among the forty-eight contestants.
In the first match, he had encountered a pushover. Luo Tongtian seemed to have good luck.
"Wow, good luck. My opponent is the solo participant of Beiluo City."
Arcplan, who was standing at the side, said. It was obvious that she had quite a high chance of winning this match.
Looking at Heavenstar and Elegance's opponents, they were respectively Grand Hegemony's Hu Yihu and Luoyun Fei.
Grand Hegemony's overall strength was the strongest in all the First Grade Cities. Gong Yang and Hua Yishen, who represented the city to fight, had received the attention of those Supreme Almighty. They could definitely be considered to be the top combat strength in this competition.
Although Hu Yihu and Luoyun Fei's strength could not compare to the two of them, their strength could be ranked above average among the forty-eight people this time.
Overall, the luck of the four contestants from the Dongfang City in this round was pretty good. Among them, the pressure from Elegant and Heavenly Star was slightly greater, while Luo Tongtian and Arcplan were relatively more relaxed.
However, Luo Tongtian still used the Water Spirit Spell to shield his strength level. Apart from the Supreme Almighty, no one else could know his true level.
Therefore, outsiders' understanding of him still remained at the level of a tenth level Warrior.
"Look, that tenth grade Warrior called Luo Tongtian's opponent is Iron Gang from Iron Kun City!"
"Although his opponent is trash, his strength is his biggest weakness. In this way, he will appear even worse when facing trash."
After hearing Luo Tongtian's legendary story, everyone paid attention to this legendary figure. It was just that those who valued tradition and were prejudiced against guest chamberlains Du all criticized him.
"Brat, although you have hidden your strength, it is still not easy for you to win in a battle of this level. I would like to see how you die here."
Moo Wentian's opponent this time was also at the bottom of the pack. He looked at Luo Tongtian with a hint of disdain and disdain in his proud eyes.
There would be twenty-four battles in the first round. As the first member of Dongfang City to fight, Luo Tongtian was arranged to fight Tie Gang in the ninth battlefield.
"Luo Tongtian, you can do it!"
Arcplan waved her pink fists at Luo Tongtian and shouted.
Heavenstar also nodded at Luo Tongtian, and encouraged him very implicitly.
Elegant but only glanced at him lightly, her face was still as cold as before.0
"Don't worry, the stage in the capital will belong to me, Luo Tongtian."
Luo Tongtian took a deep breath, and walked towards the fighting stage with great confidence.
