YM778.TV Chapter 175: The tournament begins!
The whole Holy Land of Zhenhzu is boiling with excitement, as today is the day of the tournament of the young talents of all the Sects in the Holy land of Zhenzhu.
Be it a small sect or the top sect of Zhenzhu, every young talent will be given a chance to fight in this and show their potential to emerge as a young genius.
Today, the whole arena is overflowing with people, and the whole space is filled with constant screams, everyone cheering up for their favorite sects and young talents.
The people from the top and most powerful sects are allotted VIP rooms in the arena, as they could sit there comfortably and look down at the match that is happening.
In the Stornweaver Sect area,
Lang Jian grunted in frustration "If only that person had arrived today, we would have executed our plans tomorrow."
The first elder could only sigh, "They are our important allies in this plan, and without their help, we can\'t execute our plan properly, Sect. Master. And its just a month; we can wait."
Lang Jian nodded his head "And doing it during the anniversary of the Royal Family would be even more funny, hahaha." he laughed light heartedly.
"Haha!" The other elders also join in the laughter.
VIP room of Lunar Blossom Pavillion
Ling Xin let out a sigh as she leaned back on her seat. "I haven\'t seen Mr.Tian since yesterday evening. Do you know where he is?"
Ling Huang shrugged. "I don\'t know where little brother is." She guessed in her mind that Zhao Tian must be cultivating inside the artifact or spending time with Zhao Ying.
As she shrugged, the beautiful ring on her finger caught Ling Chen\'s eyes, and she asked curiously, "Sister Huang, the ring on your finger..."
Ling Huang gave a nod "Oh, my little brother gave it to me. It is a storage ring."
Storage ring? Ling Xin and Ling Chen were quite surprised, looking at the storage ring, as it looked so exquisite, unlike their old-looking storage rings.
At this time, Ling Meiying also raised her hand and said, "See, he gave me one too. He is so sweet."
Ling Xin was bewildered that he had so many storage rings, while Ling Chen narrowed her eyes, looking at the beautiful rings.
It\'s not like she needs a new storage ring right now; it\'s just that she feels kind of strange in her heart because he gave them rings but not for her.
Is she jealous?
At this time, Ling Huang spoke with a smile "By the way, I have broken through to the Sovereign Astral stage."
HUH? This shocked the trio, and as they tried to check her cultivation, she had indeed crossed the Heavenly Astral Stage.
"H-How?" Ling Chen stammered out.
"Hehe, just like before, my little brother gave me a pill, and I broke through with that."
...
The crowd continued cheering as the sects came one by one from many parts of Zhenzhu to join the tournament.
*flick* At this time, a transparent screen appeared in the mid-sky, showing live broadcast of what\'s happening in the arena.
These screens were strategically placed all around the Zhenzhu, ensuring that every spectator had a clear view of the battles that are happening.
As the screens appeared, everyone knew the tournament was about to start, and all heads turned in unison towards the grand throne atop the towering podium, eager for the Queen to make her grand entrance and officially kick off the competition.
*woosh* In that moment, Ning Xue appeared there with all her grace, wearing royal robes of gold and white, giving her an otherworldly look while her face was concealed with a veil.
As the Queen of the Zhenzhu entered the arena, a hush fell over the crowd, and every single person rose from their seats to pay respect to her.
Ning Xue gave a nod acknowledging their presence and sat on her throne
The announcer\'s voice rang out through the grand arena, filled with anticipation and excitement as he declared, "Everyone, welcome to the young genius tournament held by the Royal Family of Zhenzhu."
"Today many young geniuses of various sects clash each other to get prizes and get their Sect the title as one of the top sects in Zhenzhu Are you ready?"
*cheers* *cheers* Loud cheers echoed through the arena as the whole arena bathed in delight and excitement.
*tap* However, at this time, Ning Xue heard someone walking to her, and a smile graced her lips. "You are late."
Zhao Tian walked, reaching near Ning Xue\'s throne "Sorry, I overslept."
H-HUH? A sudden sweep of shock waved through the entire crowd as they saw a strikingly handsome young man on the same podium as the Queen.
Not only the people in the arena, but everyone around the whole Zhenzhu could see him and was surprised by his good looks.
His white hair and blue eyes complimented the regal robes he was wearing, enhancing his already striking appearance and making him even more attractive.
"W-Who is he?"
"Who knows?"
"But he really looks so handsome."
"And he seems close to Her Majesty."
"Do you think he is Her Majesty\'s lover?"
"Idiot, he looks so young; how can he be?"
"And what if he is really Her Majesty\'s lover?"
"Why do you care about that? It is her personal life."
"But we should also need to know who will lead us, as he may become the King in the future."
The people from the top sects were also confused looking at the appearance of the newcomer, while some people recognized him at the Royal Meeting.
GAH! Meanwhile the people from the Lunar Blossom Pavillion had their jaws dropped on the floor, seeing Zhao Tian along with the Queen.
Ling Xin stammered as her eyes shook in shock. "H-He knows Sister Xue? I have never seen him interact with her before"
Even Ling Huang was utterly shocked "How does he personally know her?"
"T-That came as a shock, huh..."
...
Ning Xue chuckled faintly as she could hear the cheers have stopped, and everyone began to rumor and whisper about her and Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian just leaned on the balcony like railing casually, as he glanced down at the people. With a smile, Ning Xue asked "Should I bring another throne?"
Zhao Tian shook his head "No, this is enough." he replied as his gaze swept through all the VIP rooms.
"I thought there were only five top sects, but here I can see even more sects with Monarch Astral Stage cultivators."
Keeping her faint smile Ning Xue spoke "Seems like you have misunderstood something, Tian. When we say top five sects it means the top five sects that won the tournament."
"It doesn\'t mean there are only 5 powerful sects in Zhenzhu. Lunar Blossom Pavillion came in fifth at the last tournament only because of Ling Chen."
"There are so many powerful sects than them."
Zhao Tian frowned his eyebrows "Who would create such a tournament between young geniuses to give the top sects title? The top five sects should be given to the real top 5 powerful sects."
Ning Xue smiled wryly. "Well, it was created by the ancestors of the Royal family for them to encourage young geniuses to fight and win."
Then, Zhao Tian raised his gaze looking at the screen floating mid air and he couldn\'t help but frown.
His eyes glanced at the crystal shards etched across in many parts of the arena, which were the one that were actually recording what\'s happening and broadcasting on the screen.
"How does this work without modern technology?"
Ning Xue also glanced at the screen and said, "I am not sure how it works, I just have that artifact and I use that. The principle is pretty same as Envisage Shard, which takes a portrait."
"I see." Zhao Tian muttered as he moved, sitting on the arm rest of the throne.
Seeing the people were still gossiping, the announcer spoke "The tournament will begin now and don\'t forget to encourage for your favorite teams."
"Five participants can join from each set for the tournament. There would be many young talents for the tournament, so we randomly place 10 competitors together, andthey would fight each other and the last two who emerges victorious will be sent to the next round."
"LETS BEGINNN!"
