Chapter 60 - 60 : The Competition (2/2)

70% of the Colosseum was filled with people, however, there was an area where it was kind of empty, there were old men and women sitting there, just as he saw Anastassia sitting there with several Elders from the Clan, he knew it was some kind of VIP area where the Elders of the clans sat.

It was divided into 4 areas, there was an area where the Ma clan sat, the other three is for the Xi Clan, Yan clan and the Aristocrat Yun Family.

Also, there was a special place above that place where the place looked more luxurious, just one look and Arthur guessed that it must've been a place where the host of the competition will be staying.

He observed the several clans which apparently were strong, the Xi Clan Elders wore a red robe with a fire lizard symbol on it, Anastassia previously told him that this Clan is known for having powerful fire magicians and warrior which excelled in using close-combat fire attacks.

As for the Yan Clan, it was like the Ma Clan, it was known for having strong disciples, it is also known that they are the descendants of the White Tiger of the West which is a legendary beast known to have ascended to godhood and left this world, same thing for the Azure Dragon of the East, Black Turtle of the North and last but not least is the Vermillion Bird of the South.

Four Legendary Beasts which defended this world from what was known as the 'Calamity' Ten thousand years ago.

The Aristocrat Yun Family strangely only has female disciples and Elders, it was a mysterious clan, not much was known about it except that they used ice magic and they were very skilled at using it, there was even a time when the young master of the Yan family took a liking to the direct disciple of the Aristocrat Yun Family, however, he was crippled as he fought her after making a bet with her.

Since it was a fair fight, the two clans didn't fight but an enmity was grown since that time and they were on guard against each other.

Arthur used the name 'Moonstar' as his nickname, every participant from outside was allowed to give whatever name he liked, it's not like there was a rule against that, he couldn't come up with anything but that so he went with that.

The first Tournament was obviously the one for the disciples as to be expected, after all, they were the weakest ones.

There was a big board on the Southern wall of the Colosseum, and in it there were all the names on the of the participants, the names written were extremely small but almost everyone could see them as it was not a bothersome matter if someone had just a bit of dexterity they could see them, even someone such as Saly could see them.

Arthur almost immediately found his name, his first enemy was 'BegMe' who also seemed to be a participant, if not then his name would not be like that, it didn't matter anyway, his blood was boiling.

Maybe for others, it may not look like it an exciting thing when someone with strong power fights against weaklings, but he can adjust his power so he can fight on par with them and enjoy some fighting even if it was for a little bit.

The rules were simple, if one of the two fell from the arena or was knocked unconscious then it's the win of the other one, pretty simple, it was prohibited to kill or cripple but 'accidents' could always happen.

The first tournament didn't begin until the host clan, the Locus Clan members finally arrived.

There were several golden armored guards followed by the clan master, he was a middle-aged man with a golden hair, he appeared to be his forties, he emanated a strange majestic power and wore a white golden armor which suited him and made him look even more handsome.

Arthur already appraised all the present Elders from the other clans but their LVL was not that high, however, when he appraised this man, he was a bit shocked by the result.

Tenhi Larin(Human) : Deity Realm

The reason he was surprised is because he didn't expect him to be a deity, he could feel some mysterious aura coming out of him but he couldn't guess what it is.

Even the guards were above lvl 1000, which means they were in the Spirit Realm, of course, they must be no common guards for them to be able to be next to such a strong individual, furthermore, why in the bloody hell would he need guards when he is this strong? Is it perhaps for show?

Tenhi walked leisurely to his sit and sat, then he looked at the clan master and Elders of the several clans, he nodded his head at the clan masters then he turned his head and said

”Thank you all for coming! Ha ha ha, I cannot wait to see this year's champions! I'm sure it will be as exciting as ever, let the competition begin”

He wasn't a man who would pass minutes talking non-sense, just a couple of words to start the competition and brighten the atmosphere was enough.

Loud cheers and yells from the came from the disciples who came to watch, they were very excited, every fight would be thrilling so wouldn't be excited?

Arthur merely sat there, there were some nervous participants nearby, some were trembling while others coudn't wait any extra second to begin the fight, there was also some similar to him and kept silent, a couple of individuals caught his attention.

The first was a bald man who looked like a Buddhist, he wore a ragged yellow robe and went around the area saying to every participant

”Hello, this penniless daoist is hungry, could you contribute a little by donating some gold?”

Most of the people ignored him while there were some who were angered and attacked him, but to their surprise, he swiftly dodged and went to the next person.

The next person that Arthur was interested in was a girl, she looked to be around twenty more or less, she wore tight grey clothes with a violet sword behind her back, she maintained an emotionless face as she closed her eyes and sat cross legged in a cornor, perhaps she wmeditatinging or using some similar skill, no one bothered her as everyone was busy with their own matters.

She wasn't particulary beautiful, she had that natural charm but nothing was too outrageous or stunning like Lucy, nevertheless, she may be considered a beauty for some people.

The third person was a bandaged guy, he had bandages all over his body as if he was a mummy and mumbled some words every now and then, he would cautiously looked left and right every two seconds as if afraid, Arthur could feel some strong aura coming out of him.

The girl and the bandaged guy were in the Spirit Realm but the bald daoist was surprisingly in the Heavenly Realm, Arthur was momentarily surprised by that as seeing a person in the Heavenly Realm here is very rare.

As Arthur kept observing the participants nearby, his eyes landed on a black robbed man not too far away, once he saw him, he furrowed his brow for a second before mumbling 'huh.. so they are here too, annoying fucking pests... well let's ignore them..'

Except for those participants, there were also the disciples from the 4 clans who were respectively staying in their clan's area, each clan only had 5 disciples who participated and each one of them was considered a genius.

Arthur merely glanced at them then ignored them, although there were some who seemed strong, he was more interested in the three he found here.
