Chapter 688 - Forced to join the battle (1/2)
Chapter 688
(Unedited)
…
Shin Jiao was a bit defensive when the person walking towards his seat suddenly cupped his hands. He didn't know what is happening, so he just shifted from his seat in a simple defensive stance. The young servant suddenly said in a low voice.
”The Lords are calling for you in our booth teacher Shin.”
This servant is under Jin Jo Long and already knew who Shin Jiao is and his secret status in the town. So he has a respectful stance toward the inconspicuous young man.
Everyone who noticed the interaction was a bit taken aback due to the attitude of the servant towards the young peasant. But no one said anything and just observed as the two walks out of the audience seat and walked towards a booth.
Meanwhile, Le'as Modrid was a bit worried. He wanted to make those spikes attack, but for some unknown reason, he could feel that they seem to be restricted.
He didn't want to be discovered or traced, so he decided to just wait for the right time to strike.
And so the matches continue as batches after batches of contestants enter the world and began fighting. The elimination alone took the contest the whole day before it ended.
However, before the end of the day, an accident happened.
Suga Joss and his servant the fox lady had a falling out. Then it turns out that the latter tried to do something towards his servant against her will. And at that time, the fox lady was about to break through and reach level 70 which is the level of a silver armored protector or a World Nascent Cultivator. And at that time, Suga Joss was too engrossed in his own l.u.s.t that he was caught off-guard.
The fox lady servant should be a qualified replacement, but due to her mental condition at that time, the lords of Vitol town decided against it. Plus her strength is not stable enough, so they decided to choose another one.
At that time, Shin Jiao is inside the booth and cultivating due to boredom. He didn't want to take out some of his stuff from his ring as he didn't want people to suspect the spatial tool he has. So he just decided to absorb the universe's energy on the side.
Aiya Wine walked beside Shin Jiao and he immediately noticed her presence and stopped cultivating.
”Lord Aiya…” Shin Jiao greeted with a nod.
”We have a situation… I know that you have done well and that you can already provide the town its needed resources. But some of the materials that would be given this year are very important to us. Can I… Can I ask you to replace Suga Joss?”
Aiya Wine, when talking to Shin Jiao did not show off her strength and authority. Instead, she likes to talk to him like a normal friend.
Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback by her words and did not reply and just open his mouth without words coming out.
”Umm… is there…”
”No… Come on, please… as my friend… can you help me just one time.” She said with a cute expression on her face.
She knew that this is one of Shin Jiao's weaknesses.
And when she saw the change in his expression, she already knew that she won.
”Sigh… you always say just this once. Anyway, I will just be replacing a silver armor protector right?” Shin Jiao asked with a helpless expression.
Aiya nodded her head and flashed a pretty smile.
Feeling helpless in her reaction, Shin Jiao agreed and the name of Suga Joss was changed at the registry. An official from the committee was sent to verify and check if Shin Jiao is really just a silver armored protector.
However, when the three officials saw his aura, they all have their eyes squinted and showed a doubtful look. But they still gave Shin Jiao the benefit of the doubt and gave him the power checker.
It was the first time for Shin Jiao to see such a piece of equipment and his interest was piqued. While the power testing in the booth is happening, Shin Jiao has already envelope the power tester and carefully checked the mechanism and the glyphs inside of it.
The power checker looks like an electronic scale. And on the upper-middle corner are some words which were supposed to be alien to Shin Jiao but he could somewhat read them.
It took him around 5 minutes to check his power level and confirm that he has already reached level 70. The result fully astounded the doubtful crowd. They didn't know why but they soon realized the person they are considering as a peasant is actually hiding his identity in plain sight. The servants who have recognized Shin Jiao has already told their masters who he really is.
Though a bit reluctant to believe, the gold and silver armored participants now fully understand why Shin Jiao was able to enter the town as a peasant and be able to live there.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-geared-immortal_13180047806027405/forced-to-join-the-battle_50338802442498768 for visiting.
After the confirmation, Shin Jiao was given silver armor and a sword, but he refuses to take them. They knew that he has those weird gears in his laboratory. So the town lords did not pursue him taking the armor.
